"You did what Mom?!" Nathan was pacing back and forth in his lab, a homemade telephone with gears, a glowing vial and wires stick out in his hand, "I know I said that I could get more done if I had an extra set of hands, but what I was inferring was that I was going to either build a robotic pair of arms to attach to my back, or through injections I was going to grow another arm or two, I didn't mean that I needed an intern to help me! I don't want or need people to be touching my stuff, they could ruin everything in the Majestic science cave of learning through madness!" He posed in the center of his lab, his machines making noises in the background, empty chip bags and instant meal containers scattered on the floor with bits and pieces of parts from varies projects left unfinished.
"Well, she will help you get everything done that you need in life, and maybe help you clean up that lab of yours, and maybe keep your crazy theories in line, and-"
Cutting his mother off mid sentence, "I understand what you are getting at, but I am still not happy with it. I'll accept this pupil of science, but she better not set me back on my latest plan mother! This time I will make history! Maybe even change history! I would tell you more, but it is highly classified." Nodding to himself proudly as he admired the nearly complete time machine he was working on standing at nine feet tall, and really standing out in the dirty room as the only really clean object, and being pearl white helped too.
"Well, I gave her the address, and the code to get in, she should be there later today, love you lots my son!" His mother than hung up.
"Today? wait...and she is a girl?" Abel's experiences with those of the opposite sex had never been that pleasant, usually his experiments grossed them out, or tried to bite them, but then it dawned on him, the biggest issue of all, "Why does mother have the code to my lab?! I changed it last week?! That darn woman, how is she able to do such things, she might secretly be working for them! It could be that my entire lab and projects are being watched! yes that must be it...but no! If mother was with them, I'm sure she would have put a chip in me at a young age!" He rushed over to another machine, this one was a dull grey colour, and resembled a metal detector used at an airport, "Mega Scan Mach 2! Do your job and confirm that mother is not out to get me!" The scan proceeded and returned with the results that he had no foreign objects in him, aside from his lunch. Happy with the results, he went back to his time machine, pulling out varies capacitors, and replacing them with new ones, that gave of a faint blue light.
