Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse.

[And he appears in her rooms. Hange is chilling out in the lab/common area, kicking back in an overstuffed armchair.]

[beejfu]

[BJ immediately appears, and drops down on an opposite armchair, sullen and unusually quiet for him]


Hi. You rang?

[14thcommander]

I heard you had something to show me.

[She didn't set out tea or anything, a bit unusual for Hange but she didn't have time. The woodstove in the corner pours heat out into the room though, it's very cozy.]

So?

[beejfu]

[He rolls his eyes, and starts to untie his tie]

Wait.

I want something out of this.

[14thcommander]

[oh here it is. Hange manages to NOT roll her eye.]

Oh? Getting a big secret off your chest won't be relieving enough?

[beejfu]

Christ, Hange! No. It's fucking meaningful and tragic and I don't like doing it.

I want one of my powers back.

[14thcommander]

[rates this comment optimistic]

Oh?

cw; nsfw

[beejfu]

I want to be able to duplicate myself again. Mostly into a twin or a triplet but occasionally into a full kick line.

Mostly so I can have sex with Rhys multiple times at the same time. That guy is thirstier than one of me can provide.

[14thcommander]

So, let me lay this timeline out... you killed, accidentally or not, two people less than a week ago and now you want me to grant you one of your abilities back.

Absolutely not.

[beejfu]

I accidentally killed two people, TOLD you about them instead of hiding their bodies, helped clean them up and put up with you and Rhysball highfiving getting one over one me.

You OWE ME.

[14thcommander]

Do you know what Steve Rogers told me when I restored your sound and light powers?

[beejfu]

That he only wished he could ride his boytoy like I can?

[14thcommander]

He thought I was reinforcing bad behavior from you, showing you that if you acted out you'd get something good from it.

I think he was wrong then. You deserved to have lighting and sound back, and to be able to harmlessly express yourself physically the way you can now.

If I give you something at this point, he'll be completely correct though.

[beejfu]

[A slow exhale. BJ climbs to his feet, and redoes his tie]

Hey Hange. Express this!

[He flips her off and heel-turns to head out her cabin door]

[14thcommander]

[Well, he got the correct message that the answer would be no, no matter what. Hange lets him go.]

[corkscrewed]

Hey. Sorry about the silent treatment.

Re: [audio]

[beejfu]

Yeah well


Sorry about murdering you.

[corkscrewed]

Could've been worse, I guess? I didn't actually feel anything.

[beejfu]

I could make it worse? If you're disappointed about the technique and wanted to suffer a little more.

[corkscrewed]

I am very sorry if I implied any amount of disappointment.

[beejfu]

Well.

You're welcome for such a clean hit.

Also I have to admit, I had no goddamn idea I was being given the silent treatment.

[corkscrewed]

Well, I meant -

[ ugh this is awkward. ]

I brushed you off when you apologized.

[beejfu]

Yeah, and?

You were punishing me because I did you dirty. Duh.

[corkscrewed]

Well, yes, but you still deserve an apology.

[beejfu]

No I don't, kid.
