SHIELD Agent Rhapsodos: A Part That Remains

:: Reversed ::

Months passed by, and Hazel chuckled at the irony working full course at that current moment. Or in better words, what happened was that the roles were reversed.

Ever since Genesis Rhapsodos was going to face the finals, the teen was working so hard he seemed to forget taking care of himself. Hazel wasn't surprised; Genesis was chasing after more credits than the peers of his age, and he was chasing the target to graduate at sixteen. He was so focused on his work that he actually had to be reminded by a disgruntled Robert to eat any meal and when to get rest. Hazel as usual, would stick around to keep an eye on the two.

"He's not slowing down, is he?" Hazel commented, as she was taking her turn to roll the dice of their recent Monopoly game. Since Genesis couldn't play with the revisions he needed to do, the volunteer nurse took over.

Robert snorted, "Not by a longshot." He still had his eyes on Genesis who was on the other side of the rec room of the hospice. The amount of empty coffee paper cups around the teen was rather ridiculous to count for the normal person though, even if Robert understood Genesis' higher than normal metabolism was the cause.

"Don't worry, I know you're feeling lonely without him; but before you know it, finals are over." the girl said brushing it off and at the same time supporting the old man. "I wouldn't be surprised if he got straight 'A's at the rate he's going at."

"Sometimes he works far too hard for his own good," the old man said in disapproval.

Hazel shook her head, "That's just the way he is. If you can't change that, then we can reward him with something. You know, give him something to celebrate."

An eyebrow rose on Robert's face at the girl. "What do you have in mind?"

"You know what comes after the finals and examinations, right?" the girl clued in.

The old man's eyes glinted at that thought. "Hazel, get me a phone. I think I can call in a favor."
