Library [10/08]

[likethegun]

Sure, today was a holiday in some strange, normal places. But this was Fandom, and that meant Sam was doing his usual Monday duty of getting the library open.

Odds are, he would have done it even if it was a holiday. Geek.

"Very interesting," Sam replied, coming out from behind the desk to lead Claire to the right section of bookshelves. "I take it you're looking more for stuff on humans? As opposed to animals."

Claire followed closely, talking animatedly.

"Well, human mostly. But isn't it pretty much the same thing? Y'know, if animals evolve one thing, then there's nothing to stop humans evolving it as well?"

"Hmm, that's a good thought," Sam agreed. "We're not that different from animals in the great scheme of things. And it would be pretty cool to evolve some of the skills they have."

"Yeah, it would be."

Claire ran a finger along one of the bookshelves as she browsed the titles.

"Do you know much about biology?"

"Not a lot," Sam admitted. "I'm not much of a science person overall. But I understand the basics - DNA and genes and all that."

"I know the basics," Claire replied, with emphasis to imply that if she knew it, everyone did.

"I just wondered... y'know, if you could have any ability, what would you want?"

"Are we talking 'shoot a basket from the three-point line' ability or 'hey, look, I'm invisible' ability?"

"Either," Claire said. "I mean, this book I've got, invisibility's can be in the genes much as being good at sports."

Sam got thoughtful for a few moments, wanting to give her a genuine answer. "I think I'd want to be able to heal people," he said. "You know, just kind of put my hands on them and make them all better. I think it would make me feel a lot better about the safety of the people I care about."

Claire smiled, thinking of the time she managed to pass her ability on to Peter. Both versions of him.

"That'd be cool," she admitted. "Helping other people, I like that. It'd be better than just healing yourself."

Theoretically, of course.
