Chapter Text
Rick and Morty portal-ed back to their home after Rick shot Morty the syringe full of his toxins, successfully turning Detox Morty back into Regular Morty. Rick didn't notice that he had made a mistake on the syringe until they reached the dinner table.
"Summer! Morty! Dinners ready!" Beth called out to her children while she places the plates on the table, Rick is already seated at the dinner table, preparing his utensils to eat.
Â
Summer comes down, pulls out her chair and eats, Morty slowly comes down the stairs after Summer.
Â
"Morty? Why are you .. your booger version ?" Beth asks, Clearly confused
"oh my god Morty is covered in snot Im gonna pukeeee" Summer says, dragging out the "e"
"Morty why the hell are you in your toxic version? I stuffed you into a syringe and made you normal again" Rick says to Morty, walking over to him
"I-I-I don't know.. don't look at me Im ugly and gross, please" Toxic Morty mumbles after he notices the whole family is looking at him
"Dad, can you fix morty? he's got school tomorrow and Im pretty sure you know how to fix him anyway" Beth looks over to her father
"Well sweetie, i don't know what happened, everything was fine before we came back home" Rick looks back at Beth, then over to Morty, analysing him for any clues on what happened
"How did you even fix him in the first place? it might have been that" Summer chimed in on the conversation
"I don't make mistakes summer." Rick drags Toxic Morty over to the garage to check on him
Â

Â
Once Rick closes the garage door, he pulls out his lab coat to grab the syringe he used on Detox Morty and looks at it
Â
"huh looks like i *did* made a mistake" Rick says after taking a close inspection at the syringe
"Morty you and .. Other Morty have separated and i need to get you two back together, wheres the other version of you?" Rick pauses in the middle of his question as he tries to think of what to call Detox Morty, then asks the gross green variant of Morty while looking around the garage incase Detox Morty was hiding
"I d-don't know he ran away, i think my voice is annoying" Morty mumbles as he nervously fidgets with his fingers a little bit
"jesus Morty, you couldn't have monitored him for *at least* a second?" Rick says ,frustrated as he raises his arm-
Morty flinched ?
"oh shit." Rick thinks as he realises that deep down, the toxins are what they truly feel. is this what Morty has felt all this time? Being afraid of rick?
"u-uhm.. lets go find Detox Morty and get you back to normal.." Rick tries not to think about it and opens the door to find Detox Morty.
