I apologize for my... absence as of late. I've been in the lab running tests on... well. I will get to that. [ She offers a smile before pulling the clipboard she has off camera, closer.] First of all, I wanted to thank Mr. Stark for allowing me to use his labs to run the tests. And I would also like thank all who donated blood samples.

Here are my findings as promised: [ She takes a breath, reminding herself to keep things in layman's terms.] Unfortunately, in regards to my own queries, the results were mostly inclusive. I did, indeed, find self-replicating nanties in the blood samples I took. But they seem to do nothing to affect bodily functions in a significant way.

Long story short--[ she winces because she prefers to babble about science rather than shorten an explanation.] after extensive testing, these nanites do not seem to be the source of our "powers". At least not on their own. [ oh, she wishes fitz was here, he'd probably be able to fill in the missing pieces of the puzzle somehow.]

did they bring me back to life ?

[ He might as well ask. The nanites have to be there for some reason. If it's not powers, then what? ]

[agog]

Did you die?

[kinesia]

on the train

[ Not here. But as far as he's concerned, he never should have been able to come here, so. ]

then i woke up here .

I'm sorry to hear that.

[kinesia]

[ In many ways, he's sorry too. It shouldn't have been him, he thinks. Out of all of them, he wasn't the one who should have had a second chance. ]

i know

but did the nanites do it ?

[agog]

Kill you? No, certainly not.

[kinesia]

[ His head shakes. ]
