[Kavisto Reply]
Maura felt on edge as well as they made their way to the meeting with Kavisto. Nothing had really gone to plan, they still didn't fully know what happened to Aqua after she was separated from them. But how could we have prepared for that?? What else could we have done?
She started to feel a little guilty for not doing more to get Jake & Trevor's attention regarding not confirming Magmore's death but.. would delaying going after their teammate have been the right response anyway?
Maura sat down tensely along with the gays guys.
[This post takes place after the meeting with Kavisto]
It was late evening by the time the meeting with Kavisto was over, and Maura had been able to grab a quick bite, go back to her room to change into new clothes & tidy herself up, and reflect on what had happened that day. She couldn't go to sleep, however tired she was - she couldn't stop thinking of Aqua. She knew they would be alerted if anything had gone horribly wrong, or when she woke up, but Maura couldn't put it out of her mind.
Maura sighed, got up, and padded out of her room in sweats and slip-on shoes - down the hall towards the medical ward. She was too tired to fly.
Eventually making her way to the medical ward, Maura walked up to reception. "Good evening.. is Aqua Aquarius able to have visitors yet?"
"Please have a seat in the waiting area while I confer with the physician - what's your relationship to her?"
"Um, we're in the same squad together, I was with her today when she was brought in," Maura said.
"Alright, just a minute, then." After about ten or fifteen minutes, she was waived back where a nurse was waiting for her.
"The patient hasn't woken up yet, the anesthesia should be wearing off soon - but she will need to go back to sleep to continue resting overnight, so please don't disturb her rest. If she awakens, you may need to leave so she can go back to sleep. We have her on some heavy painkillers, so be aware she may be pretty disoriented if she does awaken, don't worry, it's completely normal. Press the call button if she wakes up and needs anything, it will alert the nursing staff."
By the time the nurse finished, they were at Aqua's room, and the nurse left to give them some privacy. Aqua was in a hospital bed, in her own private room. The lights were dim but not off. She was hooked up to a heart monitor and a couple IV bags. Sounds of monitors beeping, a clock ticking, and the muffled sounds of nurses talking & walking around pushing trays and gurneys across the floors were the only sounds in the room.
Suddenly Maura realized she didn't quite know what to do, so she pulled up a chair next to Aqua's bed and sat down in it.
"Hey," she said quietly, and paused. "So.. it seems like they're taking pretty good care of you.. have you on some serious drugs it seems.." She smiled half heartedly. "Sorry we couldn't help you today.." Sigh
Maura watched Aqua's face, but the other girl didn't stir. She'd never really noticed it before, but Aqua was really pretty. Like, really pretty. "How come we never got to really know each other?" Maura murmured, watching her still. She noticed Aqua's hair was pretty tangled and dirty, and moved closer to start brushing it out with her fingers. Maura worked through the tangles gently, wishing she had Water-Shampoo-And-Conditioner Powers instead, and brushed the little fly-aways off Aqua's forehead.
"What happened you out there?" Maura muttered quietly. "What did you tap into, and why?"

Aqua was still asleep for now, thought who knows if it was peaceful. Due to the drugs it was probably an empty sleep, or at least one she probably wouldn't remember. Maura probably wouldn't be able to tell at this point by looking, but she had a large number of injuries. Every bone in her arm between her shoulder to her wrist was shattered. She had been burned in several places by some form of acid. She had some burns from both fire and electric attacks. Internal bleeding. She may have had a concussion, but it couldn't be confirmed. She was slashed in a few places, but they were mostly nicks rather than anything deep. She had several bruises from repeated attacks. She was severely drained of power as well, though it was beginning to return once she was though the worst of it. And that was just the physical. Maura probably assumed she had mental wounds too due to Giga's nature. Considering all of that how the hell was she both still standing, but managed to turn the tables when they arrived? Pure Humans were not well documented, so who knows what effect it had on her well-being during it.
As Maura sat there, who knows what she was doing the whole time, Aqua started to stur a bit. She was still very drugged, so at first she just looked around, not sure where she was. "Hmm?..." After some looking around, she did notice Maura. "Oh it's Maurie. Hiii~" She said, sounding sleepy, weak, and a bit loopy.

Maura had been working out some tangles in Aqua's hair when the other girl came to. Maura smiled at her in spite of everything.
"Hi to you too, how are you feeling?" Maura spoke quietly, seeing as it was nighttime and she wasn't supposed to be keeping Aqua up.

Aqua only just noticed Maura was working with her hair, but didn't mind. "Im..." She paused to try and think, which was hard right now. "I dunno! I feel good so I must be good, right?" She didn't seem capable of remembering today, which was probably a good thing. She then noticed how Maura was dressed, and noticed she was dressed in a gown herself. "Oooooh, are we having a sleepover? I'm sorry if I fell asleep on you. Oh! We could braid each others hair!" She sounded happy and excited, but she was still drugged enough to not be very loud.

Maura couldn't help but chuckle. "Mm.. Kinda like a sleepover, I guess, but not the braiding hair type." She faltered. "We're in the hospital wing at the base, Aqua. You have to sleep here tonight, but I can stay over with you, if you want. If the nurses think I'm keeping you awake they'll kick me out, though, so we have to be quiet - and you need to rest anyway."

Aqua looked around, somewhat understanding she was in a hospital room now. "Whaaaat? That's crazy." She then noticed her arm was in a cast. She hadn't noticed until now. "So that's why I can't feel my arm. I thought it was asleep. You should sign it!" Then Aqua heard her say she should be asleep and started to pout a little. "But I'm actually having fun being awake for once! Normally I'm sad when I'm awake, and I sleep to feel better." She paused for a second, looking like she spoiled someone's secret. "Wait, don't tell anyone that. It's a secret. If you don't tell we can go get some chocolate from that one place you like. I know that's your favorite." Which was weird, Aqua didn't actually know that. Did her drugs give her psychic abilities?

Maura just blinked at Aqua for a moment, not sure what to make of that information. Was Aqua depressed..? Or just spouting nonsense..? Realizing she couldn't really ask Aqua about it now anyway, Maura just smiled at her and said, "You have a deal, and I'll sign your cast once you get discharged, ok? Probably in the morning."

Aqua paused to think, feeling really proud of herself for thinking she kept the secret safe. "Cool cool, it's a date then!" She said, before yawning. Then she noticed that Maura was in fact not in a bed, but a chair. Aqua's mind was worried about this, as she checked the space in her bed. She started to scoot over a little. "You can't sleep in a chair silly. Come're, we can share. We're both skinny so there's room. You can't have a sleepover without somewhere to sleep." She said patting the bed. Her broken arm was fine in its cast, as she carefully scooted the pillows they rested on. Seemed even in her current state she still could understand she needed to be careful. Just not why.

Maura was even more surprised now! "Oh, Aqua, that's so sweet, but I dunno if it's a good idea.. You'll be squished, and you have the IVs and the monitor wire.." She shifted in the chair. It probably would be more comfortable in the bed.. No don't be stupid you can't take over the hospital bed that's crazy!

Aqua frowned at that. "Aww pleeease? Just for a little bit? I won't tell, I promise." Aqua didn't seem to understand her reasoning, but understood she had no where to sleep. She bated her eyes at Maura with a pout, trying to convince her. Or was she being playful? Aqua didn't know Maura went both ways, but even if she did, how much of this was just drugs?

Maura felt a little uncomfortable, since Aqua was drugged and acting pretty out of character, but she also didn't want to sleep in the chair all night (and she didn't know if Aqua would make a fuss and cause the nurses to run in if Maura turned her down), so...
"...I guess it'll be fine," she relented. With a few guilty glances towards the door to see if someone was about to walk in and catch her disturbing the patient, Maura climbed gingerly into the bed, trying not to jostle Aqua or lean on any wires or tubes.

Aqua smiled very brightly once Maura agreed to it. Normally Aqua probably would've felt bad to almost guilt someone into something, but she wasn't entirely herself. She liked Maura, and she would've felt bad if her friend couldn't sleep. That's how she was seeing it, for the most part. Aqua yawned again, but just looked over at Maura, and she started to stroke her hair a little. "Ya know you're really pretty Maruie, did I ever tell you that? If not I should've..." She yawned again, getting sleepy. "Sorry, yawning is rude. I -yawn- should know better..."

Trevor sat down immediately as his boss commanded it of him. He avoided eye contact, as suddenly he was overcome with a feeling of dread mixed with guilt, probably in anticipation for what Kavisto was about to hurl at them verbally.
-------
At that moment, Angie came hustling into the room. She normally would have made sure it was okay to, but as soon as she heard about Aqua's condition, she'd dropped everything and rushed over. She halted then, taken a bit aback by what she was seeing. "uh-... oh... Hi, I... didn't mean to dist-...urb... Should I come back later?" It was clear she was a bit confused.

Meetings with Kavisto were always dreaded; usually it was because he was a bit on the dry side. Jake wasn't sure how dry Kavisto was going to be today.
"Let me begin by stating that I would not think twice about what was most important to me in a personal situation; the life of a friend or the life of a stranger." Kavisto began, jumping straight to the point it seemed. "...But this was not a personal situation. This was a situation that potentially affected millions of lives, depending on whether or not we could gain any insights to a potential, unknown threat." Kavisto closed his eyes and held his hands behind his back. Shaking his head, he continued speaking, "In a perfect universe, every mission would go perfectly, every single time. But our universe is far from perfect. The risk of loss is always there. I do not think I need to remind you of this."
Jake swallowed. Yeah. Kavisto was mad. It was a cold fury, one that didn't have raised voices or objects being hurled at them. It was his eyes, burning into them and berating them without even a slight change in pitch.
"Do you have anything to show for today." Kavisto then said, rather than asked. He already knew the answer.

[Kavisto's detention room debriefing room]
Maura sat rigidly in her seat, feeling cold and a little shaky (which had nothing to do with the cold). Her fingers clenched and unclenched at the hem of her tunic.
"Um, sir, if I may," She started quietly, then cleared her throat to try and sound more confident than she felt. "Our team works well because of the deep trust we all have in each other. I'm able to confidently stride into dangerous situations because I know & trust that my team has my back. In the few years I've been here, we've been able to work together so fluidly, coordinating attacks without even needing to speak to each other sometimes, and that's only possible because of the trust and loyalty we've developed. When Giga stole Aqua away in the middle of the fighting, we all wanted to go after her immediately. We had no idea what was happening to her," her voice cracked a little there but she quickly composed herself. "But, we didn't. None of us faltered, or became unfocused, because the threat we were facing was still quite active. When the threat had been neutralized, however, we had no choice but to go after Aqua. To not have gone after her, would have been akin to abandoning her, and a choice like that would have no doubt sewn the seeds of doubt among our group -- ultimately compromising our team's ability to work as flawlessly together in the future. If we didn't go after Aqua, knowing she was likely being tortured, how could we have as much faith and trust in each other after that?"
Maura took a deep breath after that, and tensed, waiting to get yelled at or disciplined. She didn't mention the fact that she had paused to think of confirming Magmore's death before going after Aqua, she was going to stand by her team no matter what, and she believed in what she'd just said.
She hoped that Trevor or Jake would answer Kavisto's last question, with some relevant information they'd learned about Electrode, Ralph, or Magmore.

Trevor heard Kavisto's explanation of the logic of the situation. He knew it was logical. He was fighting in his own mind with the emotion of it, though. Still, he couldn't ignore the fact that when he'd taken this job, he'd agreed to the terms that Kavisto had just laid out before them again. What could he say? Maura was right. But so was Kavisto. Kavisto, however, was his boss, and it was currently him that Trevor was facing to respond to, not Maura.
"Y-you're right..." he said, hoping that didn't make it sound like he'd just undermined his best friend. "We should have checked on the status of Magmore. It wouldn't have taken much more time. Now we don't know if he's still at large. We though, know that there's some glitch that can be exploited in Electrode's power, probably Magmore's too. We-uh, well-just don't know what it is specifically yet."

Maura darted a withering look out of the corner of her eye at Trevor quickly, and set her jaw. Here she was, defending them & pleading their case to Kavisto, and Trevor was just going to completely discount what she'd said and admit fault? How could he just completely disagree with her in front of Kavisto like that? She'd thought there was a chance Kavisto might take into account what she'd said if they stood together as a team, but now that Trevor had basically just thrown her under the bus...
Yeah, she was not happy with him right now.

Kavisto looked at each of them as they spoke without blinking much. He appeared to be absorbing what they had to say without commenting.
Jake grimaced as his team voiced all of his opinions separately. Naturally, he wanted to save Aqua first and foremost, but really he should have been looking out for Paris. For France. For the world. "At the end of the day, it's my fault, not theirs. I may a rash call to go after Aqua before really confirming he was dead. At the very least, one of could have gone ahead to see if she was in need of assistance, but we all immediately went. Sure, you have our first-hand accounts of what happened, but the mastermind behind the power-ups would have been far more useful." Jake closed his eyes tightly. "I know that."
Kavisto finally shook his head. "Your comradery is only a boon; I am not putting that on trial. Trusting that your partners will get the job done is the very definition of a team." He then said to Maura. "It is because of your teamwork that this works." His eyes fell on Trevor. "It is good to know that there are issues with their powers. But with Magmore still possibly alive, they will have the chance to correct them. Not everyone is so easily replaced." Moving along, he looked at Jake, and he gave a light sigh -- barely audible. "I expect better from you." And that was all he said to him.
He looked at the group at once. "I want to reiterate something. Trusting that your partners will get the job done is the very definition of a team. As such..." He nodded his head to the doorway.
Gaia, who was crossing his arms in the doorway, then walked into the room proper and stood near the table. He didn't sit.
"Agent Gaia was sent as backup for your mission. After you confirmed Darken involvement, we considered the possibility of an involvement from Zalendor, and he volunteered his time immediately." Kavisto looked at Gaia for a moment. He seemed...distracted.
"I captured Magmore." Gaia then revealed. "Magmore tunneled into the underground, and me being an Earth Human -- that made it really easy to surprise Magmore and capture him."

[Kavisto's debriefing room]
Maura quirked her eyebrow at the entrance of Agent Gaia. Ugh, look at that gorgeous red hair.. "Gaia? As in, Mother Earth?" Maura mused. Then she asked, "Did he reveal anymore information? We did learn one other thing about Magmore - he's just a pawn. Ralph and Electrode and the Darkens had no problem just leaving Magmore behind, meaning he's disposable to whoever's actually in charge."
[Aqua's hospital room]
Maura blushed and hurriedly began getting out of the bed and back into the chair. "No! No nothing is happening, we were just going to sleep.."
The nurse accompanying Angie into the room, who happened to be the Hot Nurse™, quirked his eyebrow up at Maura and Aqua. "Well, you're supposed to be resting," he looked at Aqua, "and you're definitely not supposed to be canoodling with the patient," his gaze landed on Maura, eyebrow quirking further.
Maura thought she was going to die.

Aqua probably would have fallen back asleep if it had just been the two of them, but she sat back up when Angie entered and would have clapped if she didn't have her arm in a cast. She looked super happy. "Oh, and its Angie! Now its really a sleepover!" But then she looked troubled. "Oh, but I don't have anymore room for you too! Maybe we can get a second bed. You think they'd get one if I asked?" Aqua was not getting the same ideas Maura and Angie did.
Then the Hot Nurse entered and started talking. "Oh hi Hot Nurse, we meet again!" He started talking to Maura, and she was not following what he was implying. "Look guy, you got nice hair and all, but this is a girls sleepover, alright? No boys allowed. But you can sign my cast tomorrow if you wanna. Oh! You can too Angie!"

[Aqua's hospital room]
The Hot Nurse™ looked like he was trying to stifle a smirk, he was clearly amused by Aqua's antics.
"Agent Aqua, I'm glad to see you're feeling better. But you need to rest, this is a hospital room not a sleepover party. Your body has been through quite the shock today and needs to finish healing." He then turned his attention to Maura and Angie. "Looks like visitation is over, ladies, the patient needs to rest. You can come back in the morning." He held the door open for them to exit.
"Of course," Maura said, still a little embarrassed. "I just didn't want her to be alone.."

Aqua was still bubbly, up until the Hot Nurse started talking to Maura and Angie. She took in his words, and got hung up on one. "Today?...Today...today..." She was thinking since she still didn't remember much. Honestly until this very moment, Aqua wasn't even thinking about why she was in a cast or hospital bed at all. She couldn't remember still, but she subconsciously connected to her emotions involving it, and her expression dropped, though the girls might not have noticed since they were being shooed out. "I don't...think I wanna be awake anymore...Goodnight..." She yawned, before laying back down, turning away from everyone since she couldn't lay on her side. She didn't know why, the drugs still were messing with her, but she was feeling upset. If say an emotion human had been around, it would have been very clear, but maybe the others there might not think much of it.

Trevor couldn't help but feel very slightly insulted by what Gaia said at the end there. Almost as if he had had to do the job that Trevor was supposed to get done, but failed to do. He didn't say anything at this point. What was there to really say?
-----
Once Angie and Maura were escorted out of Aqua's room (Angie being a bit disappointed she'd basically gotten there too late to really visit), Angie looked at Maura. "Okay, so you were just trying to comfort her then?"

Sometime back, after the events of The Eye of Wu Gong and Kraven's forces, but before we went to meet Kavisto for his study of himself and The Eye, Remone was left to deal with the remains of his shattered life. Skylos had saved his life by attatching his personality to The Eye, and formed a core out of it. But...what life did he save? Remone had his life, but everything he knew was a lie. All of his memories of his life were fabracated, all the connections he had with his 'friends' were only one way connections, and he had no family to speak of. He was about as alone as someone could possibly be. Once the events passed, and everyone went their own ways, Remone returned to the ruins in the desert that The Eye was burried in under the sand. He didn't have a home, so it was the only place he knew to go. He blankly looked out at the ruins at the sunset, as he felt the desert winds on his skin. He actually had come out here to die. He had no food or water, and felt no reason to get either. He had blacked out several times in the last few days, but whenever he did, The Eye would take over to find him food or water. Remone was frustrated, as he just looked out into the desert. Why am I alive?...Why does this relic keep me going?...There's nothing in this world for me...What reason is there for me to keep going on? I keep looking out, hoping something will make sense, but I can't see anything... He looked at his hands, seeing the strange visual tares in his skin that he made when he had a breakdown learning Rem was trapped inside him. A reminder that all his whole being was just a facade. "Why?..." He said dryly.

[Hospital Wing - Summer 2018]
Maura blushed again at Angie's question. "Yeah, that was all. I got there before she'd woken up from anesthesia, and almost fell asleep in the chair. So when she woke up, she insisted that I share the bed with her instead of sleeping in the chair. She was very adamant, I figured it would be better not to argue with her.. Did Trevor tell you anything about what happened?"
[Desert - Fall 2016]
"Remone? Remone..!" A female voice called out. Depending on how out of it he was, he may recognize Maura's voice. She'd only been part of Kavisto's team for less than two years at this point, so Remone probably wouldn't have too many memories of her - besides knowing of her existence in a general sense.
"Remone?" She had come up behind him now. "Oh, Aqua, he needs water!" She knelt down in the sand next to him and reached out gently towards him. "I'm going to use Healing Powers on you, okay?" Assuming he didn't resist or fight her, she proceeded to heal his wounds. She figured Aqua could help rehydrate him and replenish his skin's moisture barrier.

Remone wasn't fully paying attention, so at first he didn't really react. When the girls came up to him he didn't resist, but he just looked them over. "Hello ladies..." He said at first, trying to speak like he used too, but he didn't have energy to sound lively. "...Why are you here?"
Aqua was quickly using water to help hydrate him and cool his skin off, since he was feeling hot from the sun. "How did you let yourself get this way?" Aqua said, sounding very worried.
"It wasn't that hard, honestly." Remone responded. His voice was no longer dry, but it lacked life, but not due to his health.

"Kavisto sent us," Maura said answering his question. She frowned, suddenly realizing how sunburnt he was, and got to work healing that too. "After everything settled down, nobody knew where you went. And considering everything..." She hesitated. "Well, there was cause for concern. So we tracked you here and used a Portal. Can you stand?" Maura stood up and extended her hand to him, hoping he would comply and go with them. It seemed to her like he had been planning on just wasting away out here...

Remone nodded, getting to his feet easily enough. "I simply just...left I suppose. There didn't seem to be a reason for me to stay. Your friend is back to normal, and you took care of that Kraven and bounty hunter. The Absorber was destroyed as well. All the loose ends were tied up."
Aqua looked worried, maybe getting an idea of what he was thinking. "Just because the crisis is over, it doesn't mean everything is taken care of Remone." She may have wanted Rem back too, but that didn't mean she wished any ill will towards him. Aqua was that type of person, even in the middle of her own personal battle, she cared about him.

Maura was silent for a moment and eyed Remone thoughtfully.
"Remone," she started, "what do you remember? Before you were given a new body, you had all of Rem's memories. Do you still remember that life..?" She had hoped that once Rem had been returned and Remone had a new body & Core, that the false memories of a life that had never truly been his would have gone away too.

"Very good question. You see when Rem was still inside me, I didn't have his memories, I had fabreacated memories that were based on his own it seems. Once I was reunited with The Eye, it showed me Rem's memories since I learned we were connected. I don't remember his life, other then what I saw to prove that fact to me, but I still have these false memories that were created to fill out my past..." Remone looked to the side, clenching his fists. "The only things I can remember for fact anymore is when I woke up after Rem was changed...My head is filled with nothing with lies other than that..."
Aqua looked guilty, having been apart of that whole thing to a degree, even if she didn't want to go along with it. "Remone, we..."
Remone sighed, as he shook his head. "Had no choice, I understand. Death was knocking down your door, and you were forced to make a choice you didn't agree with, or risk someone dying. Had the roles been switched, I can't say I wouldn't have done the same...It's just this is where we are with it now..." It seemed like Remone understood why what hapened did, and didn't seem to hold it against them. But how much was that him wanting to act that way? Maybe not fully understanding why he felt the way he did was part of the problem.
