    You hit me once
    I hit you back
    You gave a kick
    I gave a slap
    You smashed a plate over my head
    Then I set fire to our bed

    You hit me once
    I hit you back
    You gave a kick
    I gave a slap
    You smashed a plate over my head
    Then I set fire to our bed, oh

    My black eye casts no shadow
    Your red eye sees nothing
    Your slap don't stick
    Your kicks don't hit
    So we remain the same
    Love sticks
    Sweat drips
    Break the lock if it don't fit

    A kick to the teeth is good for some
    A kiss with a fist is better then none

    A kiss with a fist is better then none

    I broke your jaw once before
    I spilled your blood upon the floor
    You broke my leg in return
    So sit back and watch the bed burn
    Love sticks
    Sweat drips
    Break the lock if it don't fit

    A kick in the teeth is good for some
    A kiss with a fist is better then none, oh

    A kiss with a fist is better then none

    You hit me once
    I hit you back
    You gave a kick
    I gave a slap
    You smashed a plate over my head
    Then I set fire to our bed, oh

    You hit me once
    I hit you back
    You gave a kick
    I gave a slap
    You smashed a plate over my head
    Then I set fire to our bed

    It's been a long few weeks. He's finally, finally gotten the damn tests to work properly, after spending the last three days in the lab, sleeping in a cot while his reactions finish. It's a good damn feeling.

    He's even been praised by the higher ups... and it's not the kind of praise that come slightly, either.. it's the kind that comes with a significant payment.

    The money is admittedly not why he's in this, but figuring things out... oh, yes. The world is a puzzle and he's going to solve it. And the money certainly doesn't hurt.

    There have been whispers of a new head scientist position for his lab, and with the recent influx of his results, there's no doubt who they must have in mind for it.

    He's waiting on tenterhooks anyway, waiting. It feels like forever.

    The assistants file in, Scott Sakach, Abigail Fillar, and Rashad Bashian.

    He nods slowly at them, as he works.

    There's an undercurrent of excitement. They're all expecting the same thing. Abigail even brought you a cupcake.

    Yosef smiles slightly. Tensely. He's half-expecting this to be torn from under him...

    There's a knock at the door, and a young woman - must be an intern? - steps in, holding a clipboard and looking around, dark hair pinned up atop her head.
     
  12. Yosef Douglas

    He stares for a moment, before returning to work. She must be an intern. A new assistant. This is his.

    "Mr.... Adler?" She asks slowly, after a curious circuit of the lab.
     
  14. Yosef Douglas

    He stares pointedly at his work. This titration demands concentration. "Yes?"

    The woman notes the titration, tilting her head, goes silent. She watches as he works, waiting for him to be done. "...Dr. Veronica Douglas. A... pleasure, I'm sure." She arches a brow.
     
  16. Yosef Douglas

    He raises an eyebrow back, frowning at her as his hands still. "Of course. Is there something you need?"
     
  17. Veronica Douglas

    "Yes. I need your latest reports." She replies primly.
     
  18. Yosef Douglas

    "... And is there a particular reason for that?" he asks, his frown darkening to a scowl. He's busy.
     
  19. Veronica Douglas

    "...hmm?" She glances at her clipboard, then back up, pulling a pen from behind her ear and making a note. "Because this is my project to manage, of course."

    He freezes. Staring at her.
