“Just agree, so I can move on to other patients.”

Panacea sounds very tired of all this.

I can’t blame her. She’s probably been healing non-stop for several hours now.

“What was it you said during the bank robbery?  You’d make me horribly obese?  Make everything I eat taste like bile?  What’s to stop you from doing something like that here?”

You’re not helping your case, Pan, by bringing up a detail of your power I didn’t know about that invalidates my argument for why Taylor could trust you.

Plus I’m a valuable enough resource that I could get help paying the legal costs.  And, let’s not forget, Carol, my adoptive mother, is a pretty kickass lawyer.

Ah, yeah.

Whatever you did by trying to sue me probably wouldn’t cripple me as much as what my power did to you.”

Yeah, I suppose that’s true.
