002. Labwork

[coffeenottea]

Will eyes the assignment with a shudder. He's qualified to dissect, but that doesn't mean he likes it. Magnus has a special project this morning, something to do with Mulder and a fairly uneasy looking Scully, so the autopsy is on his list of things to do

Owen turns around and rolls his eyes teasingly at Will. "Far too busy to be concerned with the likes of you, my dear Doctor Frankenstein." He abandons the scalpel he was playing with (never let it be said he learns from his mistakes) and comes over.

"What've we got? Anyone interesting?"

[coffeenottea]

"Yeah, a bit," Will hands Owen the folder he's holding. "They're called 'Keepers'. They're ugly, smelly, a little bit gooey and the Guardians of everything the Cabal doesn't want out and running around."

"Feel like taking one apart?"

[doctor_weevil]

Owen smiles. "If I must." He can't wait to get started. Rolling up the sleeves of his lab coat, he looks through the folder. "So how'd we get hold of this one? Fight it to the death, did you, Zimmerman?"

He is joking, but a slight note of protectiveness enters his voice as he considers the possibility of Will doing just that - and getting hurt by the ugly beast on the slab.

"Oh no," Will shakes his head. "I do 'shrinkwrapping' as Ashley puts it. I'm only useful in combat with a gun, and we all know how useful those aren't."

He unzips the body bag and points towards the tray of tools. "I'm a little rusty on my physiology, so I'm going to leave that up to you."

Ardeth waits at the door until the autopsy is mostly complete.

Will's stripping off his gloves while Ardeth enters. "Hey," he begins with a nod, "didn't know autopsies interested you."

[desert_blade]

"They don't, knowing how to kill them does."

"Our resident death expert can probably help you more than I can," Will points at Owen. "They're not too bad, tough, but not invincible."
