Six Years Later…
Or, in which the good doctor swears he's seen a ghost the one day he decides to visit his alma mater as a guest speaker. But that can't be right- she's supposed to be dead, after all.
He watched her fight for her life only to flatline the night after Miss Heed brainwashed the whole city; a life snuffed out via anaphylactic shock and serotonin syndrome. He watched as 505 lifted her from the cot, following close behind with the only flowers he could get ahold of on such short notice- none other than the Datura Repulsa he spent forever perfecting. He watched as they laid her to rest in the one habitable body of water on Hat Island, still in yesterday's dress, and placed flowers around her peaceful self.
So why was she standing here today? Better yet, why is everyone calling her... Professor?
There’s so much angst in their story it’s not even funny. What IS funny (to me anyway) is this meeting canonically takes place in fall of 2025. The last time they saw each other was shortly after the Miss Heed incident taking place in 2019.
Another thing worth noting is Flug is the only one who refused to call her Roach back when they worked together. It was always Opie, or Ophelia if he was being serious.
I can’t wait to dive more into these two, and what the hell happened to both of them over the years. More context will be added when it’s not after 4am here.
