Polly couldn't help but giggle, "Magical girl's honour." She said with two fingers up before pulling him over and covering him in kisses. Coleson may not get as much paperwork done as he thought.

aannndddd timeksip to?

The siblings continued this process so many times they had lost track of time. By the second time, they had bio hazard containers for the goop to fall into. Something about the plumbing not liking the dark matter slime.

They had managed to get her gem to a full dark pink with a few dark specs. But it won't clean up any further than that. Ceres seemed to stop having the seizures at least.

It took a week after that for her to wake up finally. It was Coleson who actually found her wandering about the base in her night gown at about 3 am in the morning.

"Ceres" Colesone approached her immediately, "hey, what are you doing up?" he found himself smiling, she was finally doing better.

Ceres turned, hearing the voice. She stared at him, her once green eyes now a glowing dark pink. "...Ceres? Who's that?" she asked her voice feeling distant and not its usually friendly tone.

Coleson stopped immediately, "That's you" he spoke very carefully, "If everything alright?"

"oh." She seemed to start floating, a few inches taller than Coleson was as she loomed over him, "...Do I know you then?" She asked , her head tilted to the side. Her hair was dark pink now that Coleson got a closer look as it floated in an unknown air current mystic like.

So didn't seem to be aggressive. More curious and a wee bit spacey.

"We've met" Coleson nodded, "I'm married to your sister in fact. Are you feeling alright?"

"I have a sister?" She asked, "I...I feel alright, I think. Hungry but alright." She set herself back down on the floor, "...Where are we?"

Coleson offered her his hand, "Come with me and we'll get you something to eat. You're on a secure Shield facility, you're safe here"

Ceres looked at his hand and slipped hers into his. "You have a facility on a Shield? We must be very small.." She said looking upward.

"Much larger than you'd expect" Coleson replied, leading her to the ktichen to get her some food.

Ceres had a bowl of vanilla yogurt, sliced bananas and salted peanuts. "Mmm... Thank you for the meal." She said after having sat quietly munching away for 5 mins.

While she ate Coleson made a call to Ceres' sisters.

"Oh, hello." Ceres said lightly, turning her head and seeing Jane and Polly standing in the doorway.
"Ceres." Polly rushed over and wrapped her arms around her, "You feeling ok?"
"...No I feel full." She looked confused, "Why does everyone keep asking that?"

Jane patted Ceres' head. "You had us worried."
"Why? Did something happen?"

Polly looked at Coleson, "You...You don't remember?"
"Remember? I thought I was just born."

"She doesn't seem to know" Coleson confirmed, "but aside from that, she seems okay..."

Polly looked saddened by it but she smiled anyways, "At least you're ok. That's what matters. I'm Polly and this is Jane. We're your sisters."
Ceres looked back toward Polly, having zoned out for a moment there. "You are? Nice to meet you." She smiled, softly.

Jane placed a hand on Ceres' shoulder, "I'm just going to check something ok? I'm not going to hurt you."
"O-Ok." Ceres said blinking.

Jane placed her hand on top of Ceres' gem and her body lit up, showing the carved runes on her bones but they seemed faded here and there. "...Her vessel was damaged by the dark magic. It appears it won't cause anymore damage but..."

"But?" Polly saw that look on Jane's face.
"...Her Soul tome isn't here either."
"...So Loki didn't give it back."

"Will she be able to remember with her tome back?" Coleson questioned.

"Can't know for sure. Her vessel is pretty damaged. It might just be the way things will be till she gets a new body." Juno said, rubbing the back of her head. "...Wait what's this?" She moved her hand back and a green gem appeared out of Ceres' gem.

"Is that magic?" Polly asked reaching toward it.

Ceres looked down to see what they were looking at and as soon as she saw the green gem, she grabbed it and fell backwards off her chair and into the corner of the room. "No. Not yours. You can't have it." She yelled defensively.

Coleson blinked, "Woah, Ceres, calm down. We just want to know what it is, that's all?" he assured her, looking then to Juno, "where did it come from? That wasn't there before was it?"

"I'll tell you what it is... Not yours!"

"No, it wasn't. It seems to be magic based. It's doesn't seem to be harmful to Ceres though." Juno said taking a step toward Ceres who growled.

"It's green... maybe it's from your magic?" Coleson looked at Juno uncertainly

"Not mine." Juno shook her head.
"Ceres, can we see the pretty green gem?" Polly asked, kneeling down a few feet away.
Ceres looked at the stone and then back at Polly, "...You can look but no touching. It's not yours so you can't have it."
"We won't take it from you, Sister's pink promise." Polly held out her pinky and after a min Ceres pulled her pinky out too.

Ceres opened her hands a little bit and Polly looked at the stone. Polly's eyes began to glow as she looked at the magical currents. "...It's not her magic....Whose ever magic this is, I think it kept the dark magic was completely taking over Ceres vessel and destroying it. "

"If it isn't hers, and it isn't any of yours... then who's is it?"

"Ceres, do you know whose magic this is?"

"...It's none of yours." She said looking the three of them.

"...Wait a min, who do we know that's been in contact with Ceres and didn't have his magic?" Juno said bluntly.
