Back to the Lab, will I ever make it out of here? Why do I feel like I should be somewhere else right now? Damn, there's Eklie, man he looks pissed. Better watch out for him today—Oh! He's looking right at me!
No one is there, Greg is out today.
Yes! He's walking right past me! I knew that this power would work out for me. Screw that guy with the glasses, I can keep it under control, nobody ever has to know. Of course, I have to be careful not to go crazy with it. I don't want to change my friends, by planting too many thoughts in their heads. But Damnit, I can drop a few hints! I just have to test the waters a bit...


"Greg, I need you to put a rush on this one, I got a hot case"
"Sure thing 'Rick, I'll jump right on it"
He'd work faster with some coffee.
"Tell you what, I'll make a fresh pot of Coffee to fuel you up."
"SWEET!"
Heh, this is beautiful.


"Greg, we could use a third opinion here."
"Sure thing Sara, what can I do you for?"
"Well, Cath swears that you can't get a decent hair dye for home use, I say that it's simple chemistry, and you can mix your own."
"That's oversimplifying a bit, I said that you can get a good dye job from a box, you have to pay someone for good color"
"Hmm, well you're both right. It is chemistry. But, salons are very secretive about their formulas. So, you can never get the same results at home, as you get from a salon job."
Greg, you're a genius.
"Huh, for a second there I thought you were a genius. I need to get my head checked."
"Greggo is a genius, he agreed with me didn't he?"


"G!"
"Nick!"
Oh, Nick.
"What do you have for me?"
My undying love and affection?
"Umm, well, I am waiting for the report to process for your semen samples"
"Damn, I don't really have any other leads right now. Mind if I stick around until they come out?"
I don't mind if you stick around forever.
"That's cool, just stay out of my way, I'm a man on a mission, with about 30 samples to process for Griss."
"No prob. I'll be quite as a mouse"
This ought'ta freak him out.
Greg looks so hot in that lab coat.
Wait. He didn't react. Maybe I'm losing my touch?
Greg is the most beautiful creature I've ever seen.
Huh. He's just reading his magazine. Either he isn't hearing me at all, or he just isn't freaking out. Let's try a different tact shall we?
My throat tickles.
Cough, Ahem.
There, totally heard that.
My nose itches.
Scratch.
I want to kiss Greg.
Nothing. Could it be? Could Nick actually want to kiss me? And think I'm hot? I need a litmus test here.
Catherine is one sexy bitch.
"Woah, where did that come from?"
YES!
"Huh? Nick, did you say something?"
"What, no, I – nothing."
Now for the icing on the cake.
I should ask him out. Now or never, right?
"Hey G, you wanna grab a beer after shift?"
"I'd like nothing more Nick"
I think he likes me.
"Cool."
"Absolutely."


Greg wakes to find he has dozed off on the couch in the break room. Nick is sitting at the table munching on an apple, reading the sports page.
"No word from Brass yet?"
"Nah, I'm giving him another 20 minutes and I'm heading out. I'm guessing he can't track down this guy."
"Sounds like a plan."
"You had a pretty satisfied look on your face there, brother. Anything you want to share?"
Nick was watching me sleep.
"You ever watch Heroes?"
"Never got into it actually."
"It's a good show."
We should watch it together every week.
"You'd have to catch me up, I have no idea what's going on."
Close enough.
