Apologies for not keeping you updated, but time was a vital element to this and there wasn't any.

By now rumours will be abounding about the woman le Beau and I hauled back in cuffs this evening. The person in question calls herself Infectia, and she's a small-time villain with delusions of grandeur that are fortunately outstripped by her lack of intelligence. She's a mutant, and she's the one responsible for Hank's condition, as well as the death of at least one person, probably more. I've already contacted Fred Duncan, the DAD for the mutant-related crimes division at the Bureau, and he's going through a number of unsolved cases with similar attribrutes as we speak.

Now the important part. What she's done is reversible, she says, and I have very good reason to believe her. We've already had her reverse what she did to Hank, and we're keeping her in the Box overnight just to make sure she's on the level. But... I think this is the miracle we've been banking on.

I'll keep you updated as to Hank's condition, and let the school know when we're sure he's okay. Moira's monitoring him now.

Maddie.

She's funny to watch in there, isn't she? All flailing and stomping and pouting. I swear, Hank's got the worst possible taste in women to be fooled by this one.

*sighs* Two steps forward, one giant one back? Once I'm caught up I'll talk to her. Which happens after I sleep. Which happens after Hank wakes up and I'm sure he's okay and Little Miss Cooties is handed over.

She is, isn't she? *allows self a small amount of preening* Go me.

Okay, those choking noises? Me with my coffee and that bit about the muzzle. And you know what, I think we have one of those Hannibal Lector type hockey masks around somewhere...

Hugs I'll be looking forward to. Kicking I'm a bit confused about - all right, he's annoying as all hell and I wanted to gag him by the end, but you know what? I couldn't have done it without him. And it's important people know that, I think.

Although this doesn't mean I like him. Because I don't. But credit where credit is due, and he did get pretty cut up doing it.

I think maybe I shouldn't have smiled at her quite that way just now. Then again? Maybe I should do that more. Scott is practicing his Scowl of Doom a lot, so I can practice the "I hate you, die now" smiles, right?

Try a few giant steps back. Right into the stone-age. Then again, you know how I feel about that sort of stuff in the first place... :p

...

Little Miss Cooties. Scott is giving me strange looks now for laughing like that. I'm telling him you called her that.

Go you and then some. :)

If we don't, I'm sure one of the kids has a hockey mask or something like that around. Oh. Ooh. We can ask Lorna to make us something. I'm sure she won't mind.

Remy was a pig and I explained what happened to Miles since it was on the journals, even if I asked Doug to lock his access away from that post - best that than him overhearing stuff. And I've a open talk policy with Miles, so telling him it was.

You know, I never once said Remy wasn't good at what he does - quite the contrary in fact. I just think he's a creep. Simple as that. And for all that he doesn't kill people in the literal sense anymore, there are still a lot of ways to assassinate people and he indulges in a few just fine still. And then there's the ranting and raving and calling us incompetent all the time that's a tad bit tiresome too. Clearly no one can see consequences to anything but him.

Yeah, he left a trail of blood from the main entrance to the general direction of the offices. You may want to send a bio-hazard team there soon.

Smile away. I've been doing it too, as I walk past. It's fun!

And Little Miss Cooties fits! She kisses you and messes with your brain! (okay, it's been a while between naps, I admit it. Too hyped to sleep.)

*sighs some more* I've just gotten to that. Firecracker, sometimes your complete lack of sense astounds me. I'll have a word, spell it out for her, since she really has missed the point, apparently. How's Amanda taking it... oh, that would be how. And this stuff with Pete... So that's what happened to Scott... Okay, I swear, I can't leave you people alone for five minutes. Definitely need happy news out there. And I think I'm going to stop reading journals for a while tonight before I end up stressing myself to death again.

*makes a note* Lorna to make nifty mask. Check.

And yeah, caught that too. Okay, yes, the man is a pig. And a creep. And he smells funny.

And he did? Ew. Let me get one of the kids on it... no wait, note here from Amanda that she took care of it. She must have been down with Moira when we came in.

Machines are telling me Hank's DNA is 67% restored. :)

Ooh. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to get chocolate. And eat it right here where she can see. Heh.

Hey, sometimes kissing and messing with brains ain't bad! Unless it blows up your boyfriend. (You are so going to crash tomorrow. Dead to world. Not moving even if we poke you with a sharp stick. Heh heh heh!)

Yeap. Alla that and more. I can give you the cliff notes about the good stuff if need be, but you're not getting any chocolate. You're already too wired. ;)

He stinks you mean. Ugh. Stale cigarette smell. Eau de Ashtray. And more ugh on top of it all.

Oh good. Though the thought of Cain bitching about it kind of amused me there for a minute. ;)

...

Hrm. May just let Scott do guard duty and run in to hug you real fast. I'll tell him after I start running. ;)

Do you have any idea how little you've slept lately? I give you chocolate and keep you awake, Moira is going to kill me.

Just who's the doctor here? I'll be fine. Please? Doesn't have to be much. Just a little victory chocolate? We can eat it at Little Miss Cooties in a provocative way...
