Kai leaned back on the couch, pizza slice dangling from his fingers, eyes still lingering on the grimy crate Isaac had dragged in. Then his gaze shifted to Lenny - the giant humanoid lizard who had somehow, against all logic, become their ride home.
"Oi, Lizardzilla," Kai called out, tossing something small toward him. Lenny caught it with a clawed hand, blinking dumbly at the mutant suppressant.
"You saved my ass back there," Kai said, his tone light but serious beneath the surface. "I figured it's the least we could do. Take it."
A few of the others looked up, surprised.
Kai rubbed his jaw, then added, "I also wanna see if it works. I mean, curiosity's killing me."
Lenny tilted his head, clearly confused.
"With this," Kai continued, "you might be able to pretend to be normal once in a while. Pick up more suppressants when you need 'em and leave without being stared at."
But Lenny just stared at the syringe like it was an alien artefact.
