[color=darkmagenta][b][i]"... buuuut I could just replicate and synthesize an anti-venom!"[/i][/b][/color]

[color=#A4303F][b]"You can?"[/b][/color] Umbri blurted. Jemma saw, for a flash, her hope succeed her fear. Her plan had been to present the snake and its new venom sac to the Doctor, but now, her cure was coming at her at a startling rate. [i]This is the right decision,[/i] a phrase that repeated in her mind, the strength of it tested against the [b]horrifying[/b] process the creature rattled off. Her legs were already numb, and an iceberg sunk in her, a cold sensation starting in her stomach and spreading to her limbs. Those tendrils. Moving through her... meat stuffs. Umbri's face was turning green.

Temujin stared long and hard at the maw that gaped and loomed over Umbri. He expected a barrage of gurgling and slimy noises, but the only sound that came was the trickle of ink, stark and eerie in the quiet of thought. [color=DC091C][b]“This is insane…,”[/b][/color] Temujin opined, clinging to resistance despite the weariness of his voice. He broke his stare to glance at Umbri. [i]’The only person she’s yelled at.’[/i] It… brought him some comfort. For reasons he couldn’t fathom.

[color=DC091C][b]”...But I’ll trust you,”[/b][/color] Temujin resigned aloud. He looked past the maw, scrutinising Jemma herself. [color=DC091C][b]”At least, I’ll trust that staying alive is in your best interest.”[/b][/color] He kept the [i]’aberration’[/i] silent, this time.

Umbri's lips pressed together in a line, holding in the anxiety that was about to manifest in either a scream or pile of vomit. [color=#A4303F][b]"I don't want..."[/b][/color] sputtered out. She swallowed. She [i]badly[/i] wanted to not feel everything that was about to happen to her. But [i]numbing muscle relaxant[/i]... she was already putting herself in a position so insanely vulnerable. If things went wrong, and she couldn't move? [color=#A4303F][b]"The numbing venom. I don't want too much. I don't want to be asleep for it, and I want to move,"[/b][/color] she asserted. A happy medium. ... She might as well have just gone without it. This was going to sting. 

[color=#A4303F][b]"Aegis?"[/b][/color] she called for the superhuman in the room with them, but it felt like another futile request. He had restrained her with his powers, but what exactly could those powers do when she was already in the beast's maw, and those inky tendrils were slurping out her fluids and leaving behind an Umbri skin sack? Well, even if it was empty, she was desperate for reassurance. [color=#A4303F][b]"If things go bad... will you be able to stop her?"[/b][/color]
