You know Paz’s diary tapes where she laments getting sick and the medical team put her on bedrest?
So I was thinking, she probably had a chest x ray done. And that might prove problematic, considering that it’s pretty easy to determine age through bone development. And imagine Medic just puzzling at these x rays, like, “This is a fully ossified clavicle here, that bone doesn’t complete development until early to mid twenties, wtf?” And so he figures out Paz’s secret and freaks out about her obviously being a spy and immediately goes to Commander Miller with this information (because they’re totally sleeping together at this point and he’s the only person Medic feels safe enough to entrust this secret with) and he just throws up the chest scans and is like. LOOK.
And Miller’s just like “………….what am I looking at.” And medic goes on to tell him that that’s a fully fused clavicle and that we’re most likely looking at a woman close to her mid-twenties, and PLOT TWIST, COMMANDER, but this is Paz’s chest scan we’re looking at. And of course Miller already knows this secret and his face just kinda blanches and he gets really solemn and quiet and firmly closes the door and asks medic who else he’s told about this, and of course medic hasn’t told anyone, he only trusts Kaz with this information, so they kinda have this standoff where Kaz is very gravely like, “Do you trust me? Just keep this secret for me, just trust me on this.” And medic doesn’t know what Kaz has planned or why he knowingly accepted this impostor but medic has a very deep trust and respect for Kaz so he agrees to keep silent on the issue and they share this massive secret together.
And idk where I was going with this but I just like having intimate situations between Kaz/Medic and I feel like it would be one of those important instances that would carry over to the relationship between V and Kaz.
LIKE MEDIC DIDN’T KNOW WHAT KAZ HAD PLANNED BUT HE KEPT THE SECRET ANYWAY.
