She stopped for a moment and yawned slightly she hadn't gotten to much sleep lately since the whole thing with Mesmero. Carolina usually crashed whenever she could, but usually it didn't last to long either and it always took her forever to fall asleep. As she got up to move again she felt really dizzy as well and nearly fell over.

	Guin got to the top of the stairs, having been working in the lab for a better part of the day, just in time to see Carolina stumble and nearly fall over. [color=cc33ff]"Woah, hey, Lina are you okay?"[/color] Guin asked, hurrying over to her. She grabbed the art supplies that Carolina was carrying, figuring that she shouldn't be carrying them if she was nearly collapsing and all. Guin knew that both her and Lance were having some long lasting injuries from the head wounds they had received - and she had to wonder if this was coming from that. [color=cc33ff]"Let me help you with these."[/color]

        Carolina turned her head a bit as Guin came over to her and offered to help with carrying her things and smiled towards her friend. [color=cyan]"I've been better and thanks."[/color] She said towards Guin, she had four bags as she let Guin take the other two from her and started to make her way over towards her bedroom which wasn't that far and then entered her room. [color=cyan]"How are you doing by the way?"[/color] She asked.

	[color=cc33ff]"I'm good, been working in the lab on some nanotech,"[/color] she explained, following Carolina into the room and setting down the bags she was carrying for her on the desk. [color=cc33ff]"You should probably lay down or something... It's the head injury, isn't it?"[/color] she guessed. 

        [color=cyan]"That sounds pretty cool."[/color] Carolina said and gave Guin a slight smile as she set down the other two bags where Guin had laid hers down, then Guin mentioned about laying down and her head injury. [color=cyan]"Yeah, I've been having some trouble lately.."[/color] She said, and took her friends advice and went to sit down on her bed.

	She shrugged a bit, sitting down on the chair at Carolina's desk. [color=cc33ff]"Are you doing any sort of physical therapy regime?"[/color] she asked. Guin wasn't a doctor by any means, even though her degree did involve biomolecular engineering - didn't mean she knew about how to help lessen the longterm impact of severe head trauma. She had to imagine that Beast was helping Carolina and Lance a lot with the recovery process - which was great, since not every doctor treated mutants these days despite what the hippocratic oath said. 

        [color=cyan]"Yeah, usually after school I have them after classes and stuff with Beast it does help."[/color] She answered it did help a bit but the dizzy spells she got always happened whenever she least expected it do. [color=cyan]"Sometimes I have short term memory loss to which is a bit difficult to.."[/color]

	Hearing that, Guin thought for a moment. [color=cc33ff]"...What if I made you a pair of glasses that recorded what is going on and saved the footage pertaining to about the same time span as your short term? So if you ever forgot something, you could just replay the footage until you remembered what it was,"[/color] she suggested, already thinking through how to make something like that. It'd be user friendly if she included some sort of AI as well, that way Carolina didn't have to watch 30 minutes of footage every time she couldn't find her shoes. 

       Carolina looked at Guin and gave her a smile, and nodded. [color=cyan]"I'd like that, like this morning I forgot where I had left my cellphone and it was just inside my bedside drawer after finding it just before I left to get my shopping done."[/color] She smiled awkwardly she hated that she couldn't remember things very well so much.

	She grinned. [color=cc33ff]"I'll see what I can do. Would you like a male or female AI programmed in?"[/color]

        Carolina sat up for a moment and started to think for a few seconds. [color=cyan]"Female I think would be a lot better."[/color]

	Guin nodded, thinking for a moment. She liked picking out acronyms that would make some sense at the least. [color=cc33ff]"Hmm... I love naming the A.I.'s but I always want it to make sense so... Glass Enabled Neurological Executive? G.E.N.E.?"[/color] she suggested. 

        Carolina gave her a friendly smile and nodded towards her. [color=cyan]"I like the name sounds perfect to me."[/color] She said, it did sound pretty good and useful for her as well to.

	[color=cc33ff]"Cool, I'll draw up some designs for it and then discuss with Beast, since he knows a lot more about medicine and all than I do. Hopefully it'll make your life a lot easier,"[/color] Guin told her friend. [color=cc33ff]"How is your sister, by the way? I miss having Cass around the place..."[/color]

        [color=cyan]"Thanks Guin, it means a lot."[/color] Carolina said, as Guin brought up her sister she had talked to her a little bit but mostly she got texts from her whenever she could. [color=cyan]"She's been pretty busy with her new assignment, I miss having her around to actually. How are things with you and Piet?"[/color]

	Guin nodded. She had been trained by Cass when she first joined SHIELD and it felt like it had been a lifetime ago. From what she heard, SHIELD had managed to come out mostly intact after the HYDRA uprising - which was for the best. She knew the entire idea of the Nazi organization freaked Pietro out a lot, as much as he didn't want to admit it. [color=cc33ff]"Really well,"[/color] Guin told her, before she smirked a bit and held up her hand, revealing an amethyst engagement ring. 

        [color=cyan]"I'm sure she'd love to hear from you, she misses you as well."[/color] Carolina said to Guin, she remembered that her and Guin were really good friends since Cass had trained her if she remembered correctly. Then Guin revealed the engagement ring and then looked over at her friend and couldn't help but smile even more. [color=cyan]"When did he propose to you?!"[/color] Carolina asked as she got up and went to hug her.

	She couldn't help but giggle slightly as she hugged Carolina back. She never imagined herself to be one of those girls that got engaged and became giddy whenever it was brought up in conversation, but here she was. The universe had a sense of humor. [color=cc33ff]"That evening, after we took down Mesmero,"[/color] Guin explained. There was a slight blush in her cheeks. [color=cc33ff]"I was actually wondering if you'd want to be a bridesmaid? Mary is the Maid of Honor, and I'm asking Annie and Allison to be bridesmaids as well..."[/color]

        Carolina couldn't keep from smiling and when Guin asked for her to be one of her friend's bridesmaids and nodded towards her. [color=cyan]"I would totally be honored to be one of your bridesmaids."[/color] Carolina said as she backed up again and went to lay back down on her bed. [color=cyan]"You should invite Cass to, i'm sure she'd love to join."[/color] Carolina was really happy for her and was glad that they were actually getting married to.

	[color=cc33ff]"I probably will invite her - not quite at the invite stage of planning things since he kinda just proposed to me, haven't even figured out a date for the wedding yet,"[/color] Guin explained. The Maid of Honor and bridesmaids had been the first things she had started working on - mostly because she wasn't exactly the picture perfect girly girl and she knew she'd need a LOT of help planning a wedding. 

        Carolina smiled a bit and nodded, it would take a lot of time planning as well. [color=cyan]"If you need any help at all i'd be more than willing to pitch in as well."[/color] Carolina offered just in case she needed some help, she couldn't help but be excited as well to and then she realized that Mary and her sister didn't get after she got transferred to her current assignment.

	Guin nodded. [color=cc33ff]"I will probably end up taking you up on that offer. There's so much to plan and Piet wants a real wedding - so I can't just ask to go down to New York City Hall and get married there,"[/color] Guin shrugged her shoulders. She knew that her dad wanted it to be a real wedding too and she didn't mind too much. Sure, she hated dresses but Mary had found a type of shoe to help make up for the height difference that Guin actually found to be appealing. 

       [color=cyan]"Yeah I heard courthouse weddings are like really the worse, standing in front of a judge in a courtroom or something like that is a bit weird with random strangers, and convicts in there to."[/color] Carolina said with a sight giggle, and having an actual real wedding was always better having friends and family there to witness it all was always really good to. [color=cyan]"The bridesmaids dress shopping will be a lot of fun I cant wait for that."[/color]

	[color=cc33ff]"Aww, but the convicts are what gives the wedding its charm!"[/color] Guin giggled slightly, before getting up from the chair. [color=cc33ff]"I'm gonna let you rest. I'll text you the details for bridesmaids stuff soon, yeah?"[/color] she told her friend, giving Carolina a bit of a hug before she left the room and closed the door behind her.
