o1.| YOU SEEM UPSET

AN EXASPERATED SIGH LEFT HER LIPS AS SHE STARED UP AT THE SCANS. Her eyes stared at them for a few seconds, before she shook her head. She couldn't believe what it was that they had found, though, she wasn't surprised. She wasn't surprised with everything that she had found regarding the issues that her family had when it came to health. But Jasmine had thought that she would've been the one candidate that would've been safe. That she would've been the one person who would've been safe from the plague that had eradicated her entire family. But it turned out that she wasn't going to be so lucky.

The woman shook her head as she ran her fingers through her dark hair. Her mind was racing as she glanced around her lab and she began to shift through the paperwork in front of her. There was an idea that she had, but it was risky. There was something that she could've done in order to save herself, but she knew that she shouldn't have done something like that. Her biggest thing was to protect those around her, and not herself. She had to make sure that all of those around her were going to be the ones that were going to be safe. What happened to her didn't matter-even if that wasn't the mindset to have.

Jasmine made her way around the countertop and over toward the hologram board in the middle of the room. She tilted her head to the side as she tapped on the earpiece in her ears, placing on a pair of glasses. The woman began to hum to herself as she began to go through all of the files that she had in her database at the Avengers Facility, narrowing her eyes as she began to go through them all. There were so many things that she could've done as she shifted through all of the data and the research that she had done, but she began to cross off all of the possible options that she had as she stared over all of them.

But then she got to one option, that she knew was not the possibility that she wanted to take.

PROJECT SYNTHESIS

Her eyes narrowed at the file name, and her mind began to piece together everything that was hidden away. The possibility of transferring the consciousness of a human mind into that of a Host body. It was something that people would've been about to see in movies and television, but because of her, it was something that could've been made into a reality. Though, it was never something that she would've wanted for herself, even if she had found someone that she had loved and cherished-just as she had.

As she stood in the middle of the room, her eyes glanced through the hologram to see a group of the Avengers. They were speaking with each other outside of the room before her eyes narrowed on one of them and a small smile appeared on her lips. Vision glanced over all of the heroes before the Android glanced within her lab. Jasmine was quick to throw away what it was that she was looking at, before removing the earpiece from her ear and she gave him a small smile.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Don't tell me that you're hiding your work from me," Vision commented as he made his way into her lab and she gave him a small smile.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Now why would I do that when I know that you could take one dive into the database and see all of my hard work?" Jasmine questioned as she folded her arms over her chest. Vision stared down at her before he pointed down to the earpiece that she held in her hands.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Because of that," Vision replied as he motioned toward it. He stared down at her for a few seconds, before he shook his head. "you seem upset, what's bothering you?"

She knew that she was never good at hiding anything from Vision. The two of them had such a tight-knit relationship and that he was always so good at being able to see when something was bothering her. He always knew when there was something going on with her, and she knew that she was never going to be able to hide anything from him. Jasmine inhaled deeply for a few seconds as she folded her arms over her chest, shaking her head.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "I got my results back," Jasmine answered as she scratched the back of her neck. "they're not what we hoped, Vis."

Vision stared down at her before his eyes landed on the scans that she left on the counter. Jasmine didn't stop him as he made his way over toward the counter and picked them up, going over them. She knew that he would be able to figure out what was going on in a matter of seconds, but as he stared at them for a matter of minutes, she knew that he was analyzing the situation. Attempting to figure out a way to save the woman in front of him.

Which only made her shake her head.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "It's rather irreversible," She explained, shrugging her shoulders. Vision snapped his attention over toward her and she gave him a small, sad, smile. "It's something that you don't want to hear, something that none of the other Avengers are going to want to hear. But it's something that everyone is going to want to accept. Which is why I'm going to have to tell them all soon."

Vision set them back down on the counter and returned in front of her. The android stood there for a few moments, before he rested his hands on her shoulders, before resting one on her cheek. The two of them stared at each other for a few seconds, before he shook his head.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "There has to be a way to save you," Vision explained to her, always being the hopeful one.

Though he knew that that wasn't how Jasmine was. She always saw how the world was through a looking glass and she knew how the world dealt out its cards. Not everyone was given the life that they wanted, and some people were given lives that were going to turn against them in the end. Jasmine never expected what was going to happen to her, but she should've. She should've known better with the luck that her family had, and she wasn't going to be spared because of the fact that she had a way to synthesize and create new technology and medicines.

But the longer that she stared at Vision, she knew that she had to say something. She had to say something that was going to keep him positive and was going to make him feel better about everything that could possibly happen to him-even if he knew that she was lying through her teeth.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "And we'll figure that out," She replied to him as she reached up and took his hand in her own, giving him a small smile. "together."
