Vanessa had definitely been trying, so it sort of sucked that it hadn't worked yet. And the way her face fell when he asked probably gave that away.
She shook her head, even as she pushed down the shoulder of her shirt and started picking at a bandage below her shoulder and on her chest. "Didn't work yet, but there's no way I'm letting anyone in the medlab try to do anything else to fix it. I want to keep trying myself."
Peeling the bandage away, she said, "See? Gross." Morph was probably the only one that, not only did she not feel embarrassed about being bright blue in front of, but she didn't mind him seeing her injured on top of it.
