it'd be a lie to suggest she didn't want some scraps of those powers. imagine all the good that could have been done on board the ark, amidst an empty medical bay with ancient, decrepit scanning technology if they'd been able to diagnose on touch where an internal bleed was coming from? imagine how much grief could have been avoided if they had the capacity to stitch up the dead and make them rise again —
er. wait.
anyway, it's a tadah moment! and she's beaming at bellamy before raising an eyebrow in challenge. see? useful! )
