Who: Ashley and Mark
Where: Medbay
What: an interesting discovery
When: Tuesday morning
Rating: maybe some language
Open: to Fitz and Georgie (ALL THE DARCYS)
Status: Ongoing
Ashley decided to go into the medbay a little earlier than she usually did. She made sure to have breakfast ready before she went so that Fitz could eat when he wanted. She needed to make some notes on his file about the reaggravation of his back injury.

She wasn't at all surprised when she arrived and found Mark sitting in the office Henry set up for him. All of the patient files were in a cabinet along one wall and he had a desk with access to the medbay computer. Even though Lucas could have easily kept track of everything, Henry still liked the paper files. Because of this, there was always something that needed to be entered into the computer.

“Good morning, Mark.” Ashley said with a smile as she went over to the file cabinet. “How are you this fine morning?”

	“Is he? That’s funny,” Mark chuckled, not understanding what she meant at first. It just seemed too ridiculous when they were both clearly alive at the same time, and her husband was presumably younger than him. And then she clarified. “What? Is he from the 1800s though?” he pointed out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ashley pulled out her phone and sent two texts very quickly before nodding in answer to Mark's question. "He was born in 1784." She bit her lip. This was actually insane. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Mark was looking at her like she was slightly mad, his mind working into overdrive as he tried to catch up with all of this new information. This place was so crazy that when people mentioned the timelines, or that they were fictional characters, he rather smiled and nodded and stored it in the 'crazy bag of crap' section of his brain. The bag was burst open.

"Wait, sorry, you mean the Mr Darcy who is The Mr Darcy?" he asked. He hadn't even clicked that his name was Fitzwilliam, it wasn't a book he had ever read cover to cover. Bridget had made him endure the 100 hour Colin Firth marathon, but he clearly hadn't been paying enough attention. "Pride and Prejudice exists in my world, so I don't think that can be possible," he told her.

"Yes. The Mr Darcy." Ashley started to pace and chew on her thumbnail. She would answer the occasional text as she did.

"But all the names match up...and the timeline..." She answered one more text and then looked at Mark. "There's a really quick way to solve this. Miguel can just run a DNA test. He can tell if my husband is your whatever number of greats grandfather." She put her phone away. "It would kind if make sense, though. I mean you look so much alike..."

While she was texting her husband, Mark was occasionally texting Bridget about it all, and it was through explaining it to her that he realised something.

"Ah. Yeah, now I think about it, that's probably because I'm also fictional in at least one world that I know of, too," he explained, and then laughed a little at how bloody weird that sounded.

It didn't take him long to consider the DNA test, and he quickly gave her a nod of consent. "Yes, sure, that could be interesting if nothing else," he agreed - but then he was frowning. "Do we? Look alike?" he asked. He hadn't actually met the man, but he'd never pictured them as looking alike. For one thing, her Darcy was some sort of romantic hero. He was... not.

Ashley went over to another file cabinet and pulled out a few forms. "You'll need to fill these out so Miguel has permission to take the samples and stuff." She ran her fingers through her hair. This was really weird.

Ashley pulled out her phone and had to scroll through until she found a picture of her husband that she could actually show someone else before handing her phone to Mark.
