I am never going to tire of you saying you don't want me to just flat-out neutralize my side of everything. [He kisses Hermann's shoulder because he's comfortable, curled up like this and doesn't want to move.]

Maybe I can make a power-specific suppressor. Since neutralizing the blood in me isn't going to work and immunization isn't working. I'd like to stop worrying about bloody noses and papercuts.

Of course I don't. If you decided to do that, then I may as well go along with it. Working through an incomplete Drift is an experience I'd rather not repeat.

[But he's also grown used to his abilities and would be more reluctant to part with them. Hermann loops an arm behind Newton's back, fingers curling about his shoulder. Comfortable- yes, as his lingering nerves settle]

But I wouldn't abandon the idea for an anti-venom. Develop that for emergencies, then look into a more sophisticated approach perhaps. I know you've already been working on identifying the different biological factors between your abilities.

I'm working on it, yeah. Sometimes I'm just tired of how long scientific discovery takes. Like...we gave ten years of our lives, Hermann, ten years...building giant robots, mapping breaches, and studying alien biology and all it took was the inelegant solution of grabbing a kaiju carcass and riding the motherfucker into the Breach and then detonating a bomb.

[Granted, they needed some of that time to develop the Jaegers and perfect them enough to defeat Kaiju while they worked to find the Breach. And there was politics regarding what they could attempt and could not, especially once detonating a bomb at the Breach DID fail... But. STILL.]

Ten years. [He traces an invisible line down one of Hermann's pantlegs.] What am I missing? Is it really so complicated or am I going to spend years looking for an answer to this, only to find I was missing a single variable that would have made all the difference?

[A sigh.]...This was not what I was going to talk about. We were going to talk about kinky shit and fun stuff and how we should totally reenact every one of those fancomics.
