Bad Cameron [Open Round]
"Holy crap, Chase just got clocked by Cameron!" House stated rather gleefully as he watched Chase try to snap out of the stupor. The diagnostician was amused...up until he saw Cameron's eyes become pitch-black. "Of course, she couldn't hit a fellow human being on her own; she HAD to be possessed."
Fifteen minutes Before...
House had just run the last of Jimmy's tests for the day. Just as he and Cuddy suspected, the vessel was recovering much faster than a normal human being thanks to an accelerated regeneration cycle. And just like the dead conman-slash-demon vessel, there had to be notes attached.
"You were right; Castiel's presence has caused various changes in Jimmy's brain stem and his hypothalamus. Elevated levels of activity in the suprachiasmatic nucleus for the circadian rhythm, visceral nervous system for hunger and epinephrine to fuel the 'miracles'. In other words, Novak's body has begun to adapt to the stress of having all that power inside him," the Dean of Medicine informed House as soon as he stepped out of the patient's room. "And I'm sure that most of those changes are irreversible?" Lisa nodded heavily, "If you're going to continue this, we'll have to concentrate on preventing the angel's influence from becoming permanent...Jimmy's a lost cause."
"What about demons?" the diagnostician questioned before Lisa cut in with, "Don't even think about it; you are not bringing a demon to this hospital. House, there are other patients that come here to get better...I won't allow you to sacrifice them just so you can play hunter when you feel like it." "I already made a rough draft: Tetrodotoxin-based Phosphofructokinase-1 Inhibitor with holy water added to funsies."
The glare House got from Cuddy was memorable. "You're using pufferfish poison to exorcise demons?!" "Hey, it works to make zombies in Haiti; what's upping the ante?"
