Huh. Well. That's the last time I think I ever want to
go shopping with Dr. Essex.
Even if he did buy bagel bites, and then totally eat one and burn his tongue and tell me they may, actually, be torture devices cleverly hidden in the frozen food section.
I so should not find the crazy evil scientist funny. But um. I defy you to listen to a ten minute discourse on the "dubious nature of fruit roll-ups" and NOT laugh, especially while it is being delivered to you by a man in a lab coat with glowing eyes and a diamond on his forehead.
Also? We have more pasta than God. I think
summers_grey sent Dr. Essex a book on cooking pasta? Because she hates British food? But like, someone needs to tell Dr. Essex that just replacing the pasta and using the same sauce recipe is totally not a new dish.

I filled my SHIELD report out. I noted that Dr. Essex wasn't really a danger in crowded areas as long as he didn't find any of the people a threat. If he did, he's more likely to go for psychic aversion as a defensive tactic than outright violence or offensive attacks. I also noted that SHIELD should increase security around Rachel Grey if she and Dr. Essex ever decide to, um...break up. He says that he won't hurt her. But I don't know if I believe that. I don't think he'll hurt her physically.
I don't think Dr. Essex really gets that sometimes hurting people mentally is worse than beating them up or whatever horrible physical torture things Apocalypse did to him. I think he believes that physical harm is the worst thing a person can suffer? So yeah, I don't think he'll hurt Rachel. Physically. They just better watch the astral plane or whatever the hell it's called. It's just--if he goes after her--that's where he's going to go.
