     “I’m going to admit something to you right now, but you’re not allowed to tell me that you told me so, deal?” the redhead rose her brows, only waiting a moment before she continued anyways. “You may have been onto something when you were talking about not bottling up feelings...and I may have been an idiot to suggest otherwise” Emeli sighed heavily, hating to admit that she’d been wrong, even over something so small.

     “Goodmorning - Before you say anything, I know that it’s early but I thought that you might want these back as soon as possible” Emeli was quick to explain when Valentina opened the door, unsure if she would slam it in her face for calling by so early in the morning or not. “Can I come in? I don’t think we should talk about it where anybody can walk by..”

     Emeli had always prided herself in her superior intellect, that was no secret, but a powerful mind only went so far. In fact, when those creatures had burst in, Emeli had found herself feeling powerless to protect herself or to protect the people that she loved. She hadn’t felt that way since the night that Emrys had been attacked and she refused to feel that way ever again. “Hey, Peter?” she sighed, turning to face him. “Do you think that you could teach me how to fight sometime?”

     “Has anybody seen Peter?” Emeli asked, voice raised to ensure that she was heard over the music that filled the place. She had been trying to spot him in the crowd but to no avail, but she was anxious to make sure that she got a photo of the two of them before they could get too carried away by the evening’s events. Emeli had taken a photo with Peter in their costumes every year since they were in diapers, and it meant a lot to her that she keep it going. It was definitely fun to look back on from time to time. “He’s the tall blonde one...kind of looks like a Disney prince?”

Mateo nodded, pursing his lips. She had a good point about him needing to sleep, but he rarely slept anyway. His daily venom doses give a normal person the affect of a shot of espresso. “I don’t sleep much anyway, but that’s good advice!” He said, shifting his weight from one foot to another. “My neurons are different, I guess.” He shrugged.

“I would love the help! I’m taking Behavior Analysis right now and it’s harder than I thought.” Mateo quickly grabbed his things, joining her at the new table. “I was homeschooled so the school thing is new to me. Oh! I forgot. I’m Mateo. I just started here.”

.

     “Oh, that wasn’t advice. It’s science” Emeli shook her head. “How so?” the redhead asked, perking up then. If she weren’t trapped here at this school for another few years and had access to a real lab Emeli might have even asked to study his brain if it supposedly functioned so differently, but alas, it would remain a mystery to her. “I see” Emeli had also been home schooled, although, she had always had such a keen desire to learn that it hadn’t been hard to teach her. “Emeli Nygma...its nice to meet you”

By the time eight rolled around, Thorn’s stomach was filled with a fluttering sensation that she wasn’t remotely used to feeling. She hadn’t been on an actual date in god knows how long – maybe the last time had been with Wylder? That felt like forever ago, and she definitely hadn’t been this…well, as much as she hated to admit it, the right word was nervous. She was waiting for Emeli to come pick her up by her dorm, and she stood outside, enjoying the cool breeze. Thorn put her hand out over the grass and grew a tulip, plucking it gently so she could give it to Emeli when she arrived. 

.

     Emeli stopped before she rounded the corner, back pressed to the brick wall to ground herself as she drew in a deep breath, holding it for a few seconds before she exhaled slowly. Relax, it’s Thorn. You talk to her every single day. To say that she was nervous would be a huge understatement but the redhead was desperate not to let that show and after taking a moment to compose herself, she decided that it was now or never and she smoothed the front of her skirt down before rounding the corner, smiling brightly as soon as Thorn came into view. “Wow, I should have save all of my Aphrodite material because you look beautiful” she joked, trying to ease her own nerves. “Are you ready?”

“Good. Now prove it.” Val smirked, handing her the other vials when she agreed. Emeli, as annoying as it was, was probably the smartest person she knew. Where she lacked in charm and social skills, she made up in intellect. It was why she put up with her when Emry’s insisted she join their crew. “We both know that’s not true.” she raised an eyebrow when she said Emrys’ was fine. “At least not all the time. Is it? Not without that little pill bottle.”  

.

     “Don’t rush me if you want it done right” she sighed, clutching the vials in her hand carefully before she retrieved a box from her room to place them in, locking them away. The last thing either of them needed was her roommate coming home and asking questions. The substance wasn’t exactly subtle, after all. “I’m not talking about it” Emeli sighed. Emrys had been struggling for a while now, more so lately than before but Emeli had always been fiercely protective of her older brother. She’d do whatever it took to protect him, but she also knew that there was no fooling Valentina.

Valentina figured something like this would spark Emeli’s interest. Getting Bane’s venom wasn’t like going to the store and plucking it off the shelves. Hell, it wasn’t even like doing a drug deal. “A project. So can you do it?” she answered vaguely. Valentina nodded, going to take a seat. “By the way, this stays hush hush. And that includes from your brother.” she said. “I know how much of a liability he is right now.” she didn’t say more than that, but she knew Emeli would understand. “are we clear?” It wasn’t a threat. It was a deal. Or Val would take her business somewhere else.

.

     “Of course I can do it” Emeli said almost reflexively, shooting Valentina an incredulous look for even implying that there was a chance that the redhead would fail. She couldn’t help it, it had been ingrained into her since before she could remember that she needed to prove herself and that her mind was a powerful tool. She was secretly honoured that she was entrusting her with such a thing because it would have killed Emeli to by overlooked for something so rare. “Emrys is fine. But it stays between us” she gave a gentle nod, agreeing that it was best kept out of Emrys’ line of sight. “Crystal”

Thorn couldn’t help but grin widely as she noticed the heat in Emeli’s cheeks, along with the smile on the other girl’s face. This still felt surreal, like she was going to wake up from a wonderful dream any minute now. She glanced over at Emeli as she spoke. “Oh, the goddess of love and beauty, huh?” she said. “Yeah, she can’t hold a candle to me, you’re right.” She raised her eyebrows. “Don’t you work fast?” she teased. “I guess you are properly motivated.” She grinned at her again. “8 sounds perfect.”

.

     “I am often right” Emeli teased, smirking softly. “Mhm, although, I wouldn’t complain about some more motivation..” she chuckled, mostly teasing but as she’d said, she wasn’t going to complain if Thorn wanted to kiss her again. “Great, where were you headed, anyways? I’ll walk you there first” the redhead offered, feeling bad about kissing Thorn and then ditching her even if it would be so worth it later. Emeli wasn’t exactly romantic by any means, but she had been thinking about this for a while now.

“if i wanted help, i would have asked.”

     “And yet you continue to get an incorrect answer” Emeli countered, still not looking up from the textbook that sat in her lap, her tone bored. She hadn’t been able to help herself from overhearing the other working on the problem she had encountered and Emeli had never learned how to bite her tongue when it came to proving her intellectual superiority at any opportunity. It was in her genes, after all. “Try it or don’t try it, it’s your headache”

Valentina still waited until Emeli’s face stopped being the same shade as her hair before she spoke. “Yeah let’s go.” Valentina nodded. It didn’t take them long to get to Emeli’s. Once she was sure they were alone, she removed the vile from her boot. “Concentrated Venom.” She told emeli handing it to her. “I need you to make a version of it that doesn’t turn a person into a crazy monster. I only need the components that make it addictive.” she told her. “And it this stays between us.”  

.

     Emeli couldn’t help the way that her eyes lit up as the small vial was handed over to her. She had always wanted to analyse something like this, but it wasn’t exactly the easiest thing for a person to get their hands on. “What are you going to use it for?” she asked, figuring that the chances of Valentina actually telling her were slim, but it was certainly worth a shot. “I’ll work on it here. I have a lot of equipment” That may or may not have been stolen.

A huge grin spread across Thorn’s face, although she tried – and failed – to school it into  a smirk. It just wasn’t going to happen. “That takes up a lot of your time, huh?” she teased. “Cause it should. I’m a masterpiece.” She flipped her hair over her shoulder with one, grinning over at Emeli. She smiled softly as Emeli spoke. It was true – few people knew Thorn better than Emeli did. She definitely wouldn’t say anyone she’d dated (if she could even accurately use that word) knew her this well. Thorn leaned into the kiss, offering Emeli a soft smile. “I can’t wait.”

.

     “Perhaps” Emeli answered, trying to be coy but her smile and her flushed skin made it impossible not to see that the statement was pretty accurate. Emeli’s eyes found Thorn in any room, she couldn’t help herself. ��You would put Aphrodite herself to shame” the redhead teased, although, she really did believe that. “I have to set a few things up for it so should we say...8?” she asked after pausing for a moment to see what time it was.

Mateo didn’t know how long he had been studying. Behavioral analysis has been kicking his butt since it started. His grade sat at a high B, and this upcoming quiz could change that to either an A or a high C.

Another student must be in a similar situation. They’ve been here about as long as he has! Mateo didn’t have any study partners, so maybe that could help. But, he needed to convince them. How could he do it?

     “You do know that it’s actually far better for you to sleep. Even if you sat here and studied all night long you would be effectively cutting your own head off because your neurons need time to recuperate or they become overworked” Emeli stated. “Neurons are the key to optimal cognitive performance...but I could maybe stay for a little while and help you go over some things if you’re really stuck”
