umbreon's affections go largely ignored, spared only a look as it climbs onto the chair meant for its trainer. marcus is more interested in the man standing before his desk — he's older now, and with an air of confidence that he doesn't remember him having as a clumsy, bruised boy. [break][break]"i am pleased. very."[break][break]his gaze sweeps the room, then settles back on the admin.[break][break]"beckett has already brought me his list, so i won't be wanting for clients once i open." [break][break]the file rests in a locked drawer, full of rockets the underboss wants to bring to heel. [break][break]"hopefully some of these faithless recruits can still be salvaged."[break][break]one such recruit sits in his lobby, relegated to the menial work of picking up calls and typing information into a scheduling system. [break][break]"now, regarding your prescription — have you been following up with another doctor, or have you let it lapse since we last met?"

the cost of three drinks is marginal to endearing himself to the locals. [break][break]she steps closer to the pick-up counter to wait for her order, prompting a cursory glance from him as she stops in his peripheral. he turns away, attention drawn to the barista setting his drink out for him, and feels her stare burn against his back as he reaches for it.[break][break]he turns back and catches her eye.
[break][break]
"no worries," he tells her, putting on a tired smile. [break][break]"i just like to see other people happy."[break][break]marcus brings his coffee to his lips, studying her face as he gauges whether its too hot to drink. heat brushes against his mouth. she looks too much like liana to be coincidence. he lowers the cup.

marcus just laughs, unconsciously squeezing the fingers that have settled themselves in the spaces between his own as he does. anything more, he thinks, will just indulge Kaname Fujihara 's will to change the topic to something else. but this is their common ground: work, research, team rocket.[break][break]"they made you head scientist to pursue the dull and uninteresting?"[break][break]the sheets rustle beneath him as he shifts onto his side, propping his upper body up onto a forearm. he looks down at kaname, amused.[break][break]"you can keep your secrets, fujihara." [break][break]he reaches out to run a hand along kaname's side, to commit his body to memory beneath his palm.[break][break]"i just want to learn more about you."

marcus watches theo sit down, pleased. just as quickly as the vestiges of his earlier smile returns, they're
just as soon rinsed from his face by the sobering reality of this place. he's been transferred to a wounded rocket in a region hurtling towards its end.[break][break]
it does make war sound palatable by comparison.
[break][break]"hm."[break][break]
it's a noncommittal sound in the back of his throat, conveying all of his feelings on the matter far more concisely than any words ever could. ambivalence, disappointment, pity — THEO BECKETT is invited to interpret it however he wants.[break][break]"well," he leans back in his chair, head listed slightly to one side. "i don't have a solution to your problems here, but whatever assistance — "[break][break]a glance is cast down theo's midline and back up to his face. [break][break]" — or distraction you need, i'll gladly provide. just say the word."

inside the mri machine, bryan delarosa is spared the flash of disbelief that crosses marcus' face. [break][break]he's read the reports. he knows the beast has defied death, but the way bryan lists out his injuries so nonchalantly — and that he can speak at all after receiving a sniper bullet through the forehead — challenges everything he's learned about the human body. [break][break]
his pen stills against his notepad, bleeding ink into the parchment, at the mention of a time distortion forcing bryan to age. THEO BECKETT was right. kanto pales in comparison to this strange region — and how he longs to return to a place where questions beget answers, not more questions.
[break][break]
he draws a frustrated breath and writes. time distortion is scrawled down, adorned with question marks.
[break][break]
"noted."
[break][break]
for a moment, he just watches the screen. the conversation has ended, but the images distort.
[break][break]
"hold still, delarosa."[break][break]bryan's brain looks nothing like it should. that much is certain, even though marcus can't get a clear picture of it. with a sigh, he comes over the speaker again to admonish the beast: [break][break]"if you stop moving around, this process will be over much quicker."[break][break]

the door creaks, announcing marcus' arrival. he enters with an air of nonchalance that does not suit the precarious way he's holding a coffee tray with one hand. nestled in the space between two coffees and spilling out into the empty holders is enough cream and sugar for Lulu Flint to make her drink unrecognizable.[break][break]
he sets it down on the table. [break][break]"dr. flint?" he says, just loud enough to steal her attention away from her laptop's screen. a hand is offered, a smile is given — all rote presentation.[break][break]"i'm marcus kotov. it's a pleasure to meet you."[break][break]with the formalities out of the way, he grabs one of the cups and sits down in the seat across from her. the chair sighs as he leans his back against it.[break][break]"i started reading one of your research papers just the other day — your work is incredible."

what a shame.[break][break]the lone, disparaging thought floats to the surface of his mind when he lays eyes on caden maher for the first time. marcus' gaze drifts lower as caden introduces himself, noting the yellowing bruises where they blossom along cheek and jaw. [break][break]for some rockets, a beating does suffice. marcus has his doubts regarding this particular flight risk — the more misery incurred here, the more tantalizing the inevitable offers from his family become.
[break][break]
"come in, caden." [break][break]it feels closer to an invitation than an order. he motions for one of the chairs. [break][break]"sit down."
[break][break]
he offers his attention, leaning forward over his desk. his hands clasp together over a scattering of paperwork, obscuring caden's own information beneath a forearm.
[break][break]
"you're in medicine yourself, i've heard? what kind of work did you do at lilycove general?"

[attr="class","body"]his smile turns wry.[break][break]
"no funny shit," he promises, voice level. [break][break]"i'll walk through each step with you in advance."[break][break]in the stretch of time between one conversation and the next, marcus starts to turn away from bryan towards the mri machine, but the question brings his focus back. [break][break]"i'm trying to understand whether becoming xerneas' avatar has had any effect on your brain. that is to say, whether it's had any physical effect on your brain."[break][break]
there is a time and place to discuss the mental and emotional turmoil of being chosen by a god, but today they focus on more tangible things.
[break][break]
"i'm curious about the extent of your healing abilities as well, naturally."
[break][break]
marcus takes care to explain the mri process to bryan. all the beast has to do is lie still (and wear an ugly hospital robe and not wear any jewelry) and do nothing for half an hour. [break][break]
once he's in the machine, marcus' voice crackles over a microphone within: "do you have any history of head injuries? concussions?"[break][break]

in the breathless, sweat-slicked moments after, disinterest fills the pockets in his mind where pleasure had been. it's no slight to Kaname Fujihara — he's beautiful, bright — but the need for companionship evaporates as he climbs off and stretches out on the bed beside him. [break][break]
he closes his eyes. with anyone else, he might've succumbed to the darkness behind his eyelids and the exhaustion in his limbs and gone to sleep. [break][break]
but kaname is someone worth talking to. [break][break]his eyes reopen and he tilts his head to look at the head scientist. his gaze traces his face, looking for something, before settling for eye contact. [break][break]"tell me more about the work you do for rocket."[break][break]now that they have the clarity to talk business, they might as well divulge.

sootopolis general hospital makes him sorely miss kanto. there, he had any hospital to choose from. here, it's only within the confines of this crater that ethics may be overlooked for the pursuit of progress. [break][break]"a pleasure. i'm dr. marcus kotov."[break][break]
he takes his hand out of his coat pocket and offers it in greeting. he's new to hoenn — newer to sootopolis, even — so everything he knows about bryan is secondhand: a rocket beast, an avatar alleged with immortality.[break][break]
"thank you for taking time out of your day for this — we'll start off with a couple pictures of your brain and then we'll move on from there."[break][break]he smiles, professional and close-lipped, and gestures toward the room labeled mri. [break][break]"i hope you're not the claustrophobic type."[break][break]concern disguised behind a joke.

unfortunately? [break][break]
marcus raises an eyebrow at his choice of words, but makes no complaints. perhaps he'll put an aquarium in the now-empty waiting area so THEO BECKETT will give him a warmer welcome next time around. his smile has completely evaporated by the time the underboss reaches his desk, replaced by mirthless curiosity toward the manila folder in front of him.
[break][break]
"simple enough," he obliges, flipping it open to skim the contents. he can't imagine it's a far cry from the people he's used to working with in kanto. the cursory look satiates him for now, so he flips the folder closed and sets his pen aside with a click!
[break][break]
"tell me, beckett," he starts, tipping his chin up to look at him from his seat. "how bad is the situation here, truly?"

sawsbucks has always been the reliable choice, no matter what region he's in. there would be time to press his luck somewhere new later, but the creeping caffeine-withdrawal headache demands familiarity now.[break][break]
"one black coffee, please," he says, dead on his feet. he takes out his wallet and thumbs through his cards. the mood strikes as he takes one out to pay.
[break][break]
"i'd like to pay for the person behind me, too, if that's possible."
[break][break]
with his small redemption made, he steps aside to wait for his drink. he casts a glance at the person next in line — it's only fair that he reaps the reward of seeing their face when their order is free — and sees liana reyes first.
[break][break]
he looks back at her again, longer this time. this woman is far younger than liana would be now, but the resemblance is striking enough to make him nostalgic.[break][break]he looks away, idly observing the barista as they press a lid onto his drink.[break][break]

after decades of drop-ins by team rocket, he isn't surprised that someone inevitably shows up to his clinic. he is surprised, however, to have THEO BECKETT standing in the doorway of his half-unpacked office. the sight of him earns attention stolen away from the paperwork on his desk. [break][break]
"beckett."[break][break]
he matches his greeting in kind, sitting up a little straighter in his chair. his thumb absentmindedly traces the end of his pen, contemplating whether to set aside his work aside completely.
[break][break]
"i have. and you're here to play welcoming committee, i presume?"
[break][break]
his cheeks dimple with an amused smile, pleased to be in the company of an old friend.
