Title: Sorry Doesn’t Cut It
Author: Ivy
Challenge: Darkest before the Dawn (though the idea came for the FFU challenge, but it works for this one too.)
Disclaimer: I don’t own these characters. Nuff said.
A/N: Figures that my first due South fic would feature Ray Kowalski, despite only having seen one of his episodes. As for the science – corn starch is a dilantant fluid (try it yourself and see!) though I have no idea if it would stop a bullet. Best guess, it wouldn’t. The bullet’s impact is probably over too small an area and in too short a time to allow the fluid to solidify, and even if it did, it would probably shatter. But whatever. It would be cool. And I’m sure if you had enough corn starch it would stop a bullet (hell, enough water stops a bullet), but I think I’ve beaten this point to death. Read the story.
