*Larry is working on his computer and has received a message from Perry the platypus*

Larry: Ahh perfect, I have been meaning to get in touch with him.

*BT wanders into the kitchen and bumps into the fridge*

*Wade shrugs*

DP: He was kinda overrated. A couple shots from my new rifle brought him down.

*Wade turns to look at Verdai*

DP: It kept me down for a bit. So thanks for that, Drone Man.

[Nods to Cal] Ma'am.

*Cal stops grinning and glares*
Cal: Ma'am!? Are you blind?!

[Half looks up] ...Yes? [Points to missing eye]

Cal: Oh, right... sorry... Uh nevermind, it's me, Cal

Not deaf though. [Grins] Your voice hasn't changed.

*Cal sighs*
Cal: That's it? I guess I should've expected something like that... honestly it's you and Nicholas I felt would give the least reaction
*Morrigan sits up tiredly*
Morrigan: Cal? Oh, hey Sebastian! Amelia!

[Smiles sadly] I'm sure Benny will give one when he's recovered.
Sorry Cal, guess I'm pretty detached these days..

Cal: No it's alright, I've got to help Leonie with something anyways
*Shrugs and walks over to Leo*
Cal: Okay, Leo, come with me
*Leads her off to his Medlab*

*Leo follows Cal*

Leo: Lets hope this is easy...

*Cal shakes his head*
Cal: Easy? No, not at all.
*Guides Leo over to a large operating table*
Cal: OKay, lay back and relax. I need to get a few things
*Walks off into another section of the lab and Leo hears the clink of glass vials*

*Leo twiddles her thumbs nervously*

Leo: I hope this works...

[Sam cuddles Amelia] I apologise for the smell. I've been stuck in a cave for a while. I pulled a rock over the entrance, but I wasn't able to get it back off.

How's Jordan?

*Cal comes back wheeling in a large cart with vials of colored liquid stacked on it and his hair tied back in a ponytail*
Cal: Okay, let's get started. You're going to have to drink a few of these then I'll put you under.
*Hand Leo the first of over a dozen small glass vials*

OOC: Double post

*Leo nods and starts drinking the vials and complying with Cal's directions*

*Cal waits for 5 minutes until after the last vial*
Cal: Okay, time to put you under.
*Hooks Leo up to a IV of knockout drugs. The last thing Leo sees before she passes out is Cal putting on gloves and looking grim*

*Leo's eyes turn fearful just as they eyes close*

*Larry is waiting for Perry to show up*

*Several hours later Leo wakes up severely reduced in height. Cal is passed out on the floor. He's breathing fine and appears to be exhausted*

OOC: Most of the others are offline, otherwise I would've kept the thing going for a little bit. I'll let you decide how reduced she is, but I'd say 4+ feet shorter at least

*Waller climbs out of a large pit in a jungle covered in mud and honey*

Waller: So many bees. But now I can have a chakram!


*Wade is sitting in the living room and rapidly checking the time as if he is waiting for something*

[Benny sits up and looks confused] ..What did I do?
[Sees Sam] ...! [Goes scarlet at realisation he's sat on Sam's lap] I-I'm so sorry!

[Sam put hand on his shoulder] It's okay! I found you running in the woods. Do you remember?

[Benny shakes head] Last I remember was going to bed... Oh hell. [Puts head in hands] I've lost my mind.

[Sam hugs Benny and kisses the top of his head] You'll be fine. We can help you, I know we can. You're not crazy, Benny.

[Benny blushes harder, but nods and looks determined] I'll get Bridget to handcuff me when I go to sleep, until we sort this.

[Yarrick over-hears, and sprays his coffee accidentally]

*Leo looks around the room still drowsy and sees Cal on the floor*

Leo: Cal?...

*Is back to original height of 4'8*

*Cal is out cold, face pale with exhaustion but otherwise okay*

*Leo leans up and swivels her legs over the side of the bed but her feet don't touch the floor*

Leo: W-what?...

*Leo slides off the bed and looks around at the room from her new perspective*

Leo: Ha it worked! *Laughs with joy then notices Cal out cold on the floor* CAL!

*Cal stirs slightly*
Cal: Leo...? You... okay?

*Leo hugs Cal*

Leo: You did it! You fixed me!

*Squeezes him tighter*

Leo: Thank you so much!

*Lets him go and tears up slightly*

Leo: How can I repay you?

*Cal smiles weakly hand feebly hugs back*
Cal: Help me over to the sofa? I don't think I can stand...
*Still pale and looking dead on his feet but stops and quickly hand Leo is lab coat*
Cal: Here, those other clothes won't fit you anymore

*Quickly puts on the lab coat and helps Cal onto a couch*

Leo: How tall am I now? I can't tell but I know I'm short.

*Morri looks over in shock at Leo as she helps Cal over to the couch*
Morri: Leo!? What happened to you?! You're back to your old h- *Sees Cal*
Morri: CAL?! What's wrong?!
Cal: Just... tired...
*Collapses onto the couch and falls asleep as Morrigan wraps a wing around him and looks at Leo*
Morrigan: Explain.
