Summary: So what were the lab bat and the autopsy gremlin talking about? ;)
AN: Wow! Tons of reviews last chapter, which totally made my day! I hope you all enjoy this chapter - it's the longest so far: almost 10,000 words! Somebody asked this last chapter, and I thought it was worth answering for everybody. If you're reading this primarily for Tim/Tony and are tempted to skim over the Jimmy/Abby sections, please know that in this hugely complicated tale I'm weaving, there are lots of interlocking bits. Skip or skim parts that don't seem T2-ish enough now, and down the line your reaction at a key point is likely to be more "what the ^&**()$%^ is she smoking?" instead of "OMG, I should have totally seen that coming." ;) And on that note, thanks to Kyrie for editing and harempriestess for her comments. Oh, and if you're looking for a soundtrack to this chapter, it's Listen To Your Heart, Edmee's Unplugged Vocal Edit. Especially the last two scenes. ;)
