Pancake's perverse potential partner

Who: Pancake and Potential
Where: Abandoned crew quarters
When: Same time
Pancake and Potential hid in some abandoned crew quarters and watched as a security team went by, chasing some of Le Souteneur's henchmen. He quietly closed the door.
"Okay I'm going to break it." Justin said, dropping it to the floor and stomping on the recording device. Nothing happened. He picked it up and showed it to Potential, it was unharmed.
"Poly-adamantium nitrite with multi-phasic internal shielding." Potential said. "Mollopod technology, very well made. One of your primitive bazukoids won't even scratch it."
"Primitive?"
"I'm a time traveller!" Said Potential. "I've seen all sorts of future technology. You should see what the Humans and Hymenoptera come up with when they put their heads together! If you should the atom bomb made a big crater you should wait and-" He stopped as he realised he was rambling. "We can't destroy it. You'll have to hide it."
"Where?!" Justin said. "I can't leave it in my quarters, that's the first place Security will look."
"Find somewhere." Said Potential. "You're future's depending on it."
Potential disappeared, leaving Justin alone.
"What hiding places do I know...?" He asked himself and remembered back two weeks, when he caught sight of a strange woman (who he recognised as an erotic dancer from club "Fister") hiding something in the storage lockers above the charged plasma channels on Nivelo 38.
He snook out of the room into the corridor. "F-F-F-Freeze!" Came a voice almost instantly. Pancake was just about to leg it when he realised that he recognised the stammer. "Rufus?" He asked, turning to see the young scientist standing there with a Bazukoid pointed at him. "Woah, Rufus you're not going to shoot me are you?"
Rufus looked nervously at his gun. "M-m-m-aybe if you d-d-dont stand still while I call Security."
Rufus took out a radio and called for Security, who said they'll be there in five minutes.
Rufus nervously stepped closer. "Give me the v-v-vial you stole from m-m-me." He said.
"It's mine!" Justin said, taking it out of his pocket. "The boss of the JMC wanted me to deliver it to-"
"D-D-Don't you know what it d-d-does?" Rufus asked, surprised. He'd poured a few drops of the green liquid onto a Hamster earlier, and it had turned into a Hymenoptera Hybrid. From what Rufus knew about Justin, this was a potion which would make his dream come true.
"Just h-h-hand it over." Rufus said.
Justin sighed. Again, things weren't going his way, and this time he didn't know how to get away. He pulled the vial from his pocket and gave it to Rufus.
Just as the vial left his hand, a voice came from Rufus' radio, it was Chris Harris. "Rufus, be careful, we know that Justin has the green vial which can turns him into a Hymenoptera."
The words hit Justin like a frying pan in the face. "Turns you into a ...Hymenoptera?!"
He quickly snatched the vial back from Rufus and uncorked it.
"N-N-Noooooooo" Yelled Rufus, and dived onto him, spilling the vial all over himself. The toxic fumes tingled his skin and he leaped back and collapsed.
Justin stood over Rufus, who was covered with the liquid. He looked down at the colour of the potion which was pooling on the floor next to the empty vial. "I thought you said it was green? That's pink. Maybe I picked up the wrong vial from your lab."
Rufus woke up and looked immediately into Justin's eyes. "It's the wrong chemical alright." He said. "Read the label."
In all the rushing about, Justin had never thought to read the label of the vial. It had Rufus' handwriting on. "Bi-curious love potion." It said.
Justin looked at Rufus, who was looking up with wide watery eyes. "Justin Pancake, I think I l-l-love you." He said.
"Uurgh." Said Pancake. "I have to go."
Rufus clasped his arms around Justin's waist. "T-T-Take me with you b-b-big b-boy."
The sound of security getting closer caused Justin to pull Rufus towards an air vent. He groaned, he'd have to take Rufus with him now.
