"Oh, geez." Leo responded.

"I'll be right there." he told her.

"Where are you?" he asked.

"Lex and Aimee's home." Lunet replied.

"Be there in a couple minutes." Leo assured her, before the convo was ended.

"...Lunet...?" Lex addressed her.

"Are you all right?" he asked her, before looking at what she had torn off and tossed onto the table.

"...a wire? What is that for?" he inquired.

"And... it's sparking? What's going on here?"

"Thanks Leo." Lunet said before the call was ended. Once that was done she sighed lightly.

"That thing decided it wanted to attack me." was her answer to Lex.

"In all seriousness, I don't know what happened. They've been fine for weeks." She continued. "And I doubt it's a case of something here in the air or the wifi or whatever beign different."

"Sadly, that thing decided to attack and now I have a headache." She paused, not entirely sure what it was that he was getting at.

"And the wire is because I need them to see."

"...I... wait, what?" Lex muttered.

"You need them to see?" he asked.

"...." he was then silent, before snapping his fingers.

"Ah, your sight is bad! Of course!" he said.

"...no, wait... that doesn't explain the wire..." he mumbled.

"Just... how bad IS your eyesight?" he asked her.

"Do you need some weird special prescription or something that involves electronics?"

Lunet just laughed.

"Yeah... my eyesight is bad." She agreed with a nod before looking in his direction, revealing her pure white eyes.

"And that's ... putting it lightly." She admitted with a chuckle.

"Hi. Name's Lunet. I was born blind."

Lex's jaw dropped.

"B... blind?" he stammered.

"As in... completely, 100%?" he inquired.

"Yup." Lunet confirmed.

"I... but... that... how..." Lex then stammered, before shaking his head.

"How do those...?" he mumbled, trailing off some.

"Wait. Hold on a second." he said.

"Your eyewear actually GIVES you sight?"

Lunet nodded.

"Yup." she answered with a laugh before pausing.

"C'mere." She said simply. When he had, she motioned for him to check behind one of her ears, where there was a connection.

"Had surgery ehhh.... three? years ago." She continued. "It was shortly after I met Leo for the first time, actually."

"Anyway. It was that surgery that basically connected some wires and the like to my optic nerves." She explained in a very simplistic way (mostly because she didn't know all the details), and those wires can be connected to almost any webcam with some editing. I mean, I don' thave a USB port in my head, they gotta have a specific attachment, but... yeah."[/b]

"....woah." Lex muttered.

"That is... amazing." he said.

"And... wait, it was Leo that-" he started to ask, before the doorbell rang.

"...right." he mumbled.

"One second." he said, getting up and leaving her for a moment... and when he returned, Leo was in tow.

"So they're LITERALLY shocking you." Leo said to Lunet/

"All right, let's get these fixed up..." he muttered, grabbing them and taking a look.

"Oh geez, wow..." he said quietly.

"Yeah... literally." Lunet answered with a nod.

". . . and wow...? That ... doesn't sound good." She then said.

"What's caused that reaction....?"

"I... have no idea." Leo admitted.

"I'll need to take them apart briefly and examine them." he said.

He then made his way to another table, and started to give it the once-over.

As he did, Lex just sighed quietly.

"So... this is an inconvenience." he said.

"Are you all right?" he inquired to Lunet.

"You said that gave you a headache? You want something for it?"

"Thanks Leo." Lunet said before sighing.

"And something to help with this would be lovely." She then answered Lex's question.

"Thanks." She added. "And sorry about this little... hiccup."

"No, no. No need to apologise." Lex responded.

"I'll go get something for your headache." he told her, before getting up and leaving to do so.

Leo then sighed.

"I apologise for this." he said to Lunet.

"I didn't think something like this could happen. This... just... wow." he mumbled.

"Maybe something happened on the flight to do this..." he went on.

"Maybe elevations that high warped something..."

Lunet just sighed.

"I'm... honestly, not entirely sure." She admitted.

"I wish I knew, sadly, Dad ain't around to help with that." She added with a light laugh.

"Regardless, I am sorry if I interrupted anything, Leo." She sighed lightly, "You know that's never my intention."

"Naw, it's okay." Leo replied.

"Luckily you caught me at a good time." he said.

"Hmm... mmhmm... mmhmm..." he then mumbled further, as Lex returned.

"Here." he said, handing her a glass of water and a gel cap.

"This should work pretty damn quick."

"Thank you." Lunet said, relief in her voice as he placed the items in her hands. ONce he'd stepped back she took 'em quick and carefully set the glass down on the coffee table again.

"Anyway. While Leo's doing his thing, Lex, is there anything else you think you want me to edit or whatever regarding the site and or app.?" She asked, her voice curious. She wasn't even realising that he probably would assume that she couldn't do anything, considering the fact that she's blind.

"But... I mean... your eyewear... and..." he stammered.

"Huh?" was all he got out.

Leo just laughed.

"I think he thinks that you can't properly work on stuff without them." he commented.

"Well... I mean... maybe?" Lex said.

"CAN you?" he asked Lunet.

Lunet paused before laughing.

"I'm better when I can see, but I am still quite effective when I can't." She told him before grabbing her tablet and handing it to Lex.

"Hold this for a moment." She said, when he agreed and told her that he was, she laid her hand just above it. As she did so, he could literally feel her mana connecting with it.

"Passive mana. Works with tech - software specifically."

"Truly, mana is amazing." he commented.

"It really is." Leo agreed.

"Anyway, hmmm." Lex then muttered.

"Well, what about..." he started to say, before they continued.

About an hour later, Leo spoke up.

"Lunet, when you're ready, I believe I've fixed them.' he announced.

Lunet paused before looking over in Leo's direction.

"Oh? That's perfect timing." She commented.

"I'm game to find out." She added after a moment or two.

"Want to bring 'em over so I don't trip over anything on my way to you?"

"Got it." Leo replied.

He then made his way over towards her, and put the device in her hand.

"Here." he said.

"They should work perfectly again." he told her.

"That being said, after your flight back, I want to check them again." he then said. "See if the same thing starts to happen once more. See if the flight had anything to do with it." he went on.

"But regardless, they should work perfectly once more." he assured her.

"Let me know if there's any abnormalities." he added.

Lunet nodded before connecting the device to her head. After powering it on, she just grinned.

"Work perfectly, again." She told Leo honestly.

"Thank you so much." She added. "I'll wire you some money as a thank you for this once I'm back at Mom's."

". . . no arguing."
