Asuna woke up to her alarm and sleepily grabbed her shower stuff and headed off to the bathroom. She waved to Linda as she went by and yawned, “Morning, I’ll be downstairs soon as I shower and dress.”

Linda smiled at the sight, feeling proud both of her efforts and Asuna’s adaptability. Seeing Asuna in her thigh length sleepshirt with her little plastic bag of personal shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer and the metal file with diamond dust in it that incidentally, was the only thing they’d found that would work on her nails, you’d never guess she hadn’t been born a girl. “Okay, I’ll go start breakfast. Kim’ll need something in her stomach before we go.”

Asuna yawns again and nods, “Yeah, in fact I think I’ll stick a few of those energy bars in my pockets so she can eat just before we change and just after. I know I was hungry afterward and her metabolism is faster than mine now.”

She was moisturizing after her shower when Kim walked in, “Morning sleepyhead! I left you some hot water but don’t take too long. You’ll want to eat before we go.” Kim grinned at her but though she felt like covering her various bits Asuna refused to give in to that impulse and went on rubbing in the moisturizer as calmly as she could. At least until Kim goosed her.

She yelped and turned towards the other girl glowering but Kim was already in the shower grinning, “Now now, no time for that! I’ve got to shower and get ready you said. No time for fun and games.”

Asuna pointed a finger at her, “I’ll get you for that!” She capped the moisturizer, “But I'll do it later. You do need to get ready before we eat all the breakfast.” She grinned, “And no shortcuts now! You wouldn’t want the doctor to think you’re a dirty girl would you?” Laughing, Asuna ran out the door with her stuff as Kim sputtered. Once back in her room she made sure to wear her cargo shorts so she have many pockets to stuff energy bars in then headed downstairs to eat.

Breakfast was quick but tasty and as she and Linda pile the dishes in the sink Asuna manages to fit a dozen energy bars in to her pockets, “I guess we should talk purses soon. Gah, this is becoming a very full summer.”

“Thank you for thinking of her,” Linda said. “You’re being a good friend and I appreciate it.”

Asuna blushes, “It’s pretty easy to do. I think about her a lot anyway and it feels less wrong if I’m also thinking of ways to help.”

Linda pats her shoulder, “Just remember that liking her isn’t wrong, okay? You’re both young and it may or may not work out but there’s nothing with you liking her.” Linda grinned, “In fact you’re already better all her previous boyfriends. Want me to tell you about them?”

“Hey!” came Kim’s voice from the other side of the door. “Is this what you guys do while washing dishes? Gossip about me?”

Asuna giggled, “No, only when we can tell you’re eavesdropping.”

“Yeah,” Linda agrees, “I heard your big flat feet coming and thought I’d teach you a lesson little sister. Don’t try to spy on a pro.”

Soon the dishes were done and they were all in the car heading back to the regional branch office. Asuna made sure to clip on her badge before entering. The guard scanned their badges and nodded at Kim, “Is she with you?”

Linda nodded, “We have an appointment downstairs.”

The guard nodded and held out the log book, “Sign here miss.” Once Kim had signed, he nodded again, “Have a good day ladies.”

Linda led them down several floors and through corridors toward the testing lab. This time Asuna headed right for the women’s lockers Linda noticed approvingly. ‘She really has come a long way,’ she thought to herself.

The sensor suits were not a problem for Kim, “I still think my hips are too wide but I like this suit. It tightens everything up and supports too while making you nakeder than naked! “ She grinned, “Can we get one of these to take home?’

Asuna laughed, “I can just see you using this as your costume! We’ll call you The Flasher instead of the Flash.”

Linda shook her head, “I’m glad that you can’t have one because I don’t think you’re kidding.”

Kim assured her that she was quite serious while Asuna laughed.

Before closing her locker Asuna holds out an energy bar, “Here eat this first. That way you won’t get too hungry while you’re being tested.”

“Thanks, Sue!” Kim said and the bar was gone quickly.

Asuna took a deep breath before entering and was still horribly surprised by the researchers. They came rushing forward with instruments in hand and wide grins only to stop short when a startled Asuna stepped in front of Kim and manifested her katana.

“Gentlemen!” Linda said. “I believe we have talked about this previously? Your zealous pursuit of knowledge is a virtue but please remember to consider the feelings of your patients!” She grinned, “Especially when one of them is more than capable of sticking her sword up your ass … point first.”

The men took a large, unanimous step back, “We remember your admonitions Agent Carter. We are merely eager for new data.”

The lead researcher points at Asuna, “If test subject one will disrobe and get on the table we can proceed with our work. Unless she wants to threaten us some more first?”

Asuna smiles and lets the sword drop, knowing it will disappear once out of her hand, “Of course I will Clarence. I know how eager you are to see me naked again.” She walks up to him and pats his cheek, “And you're such a dear, sweet, boy that I just can't bring myself to refuse you.” She winks at Kim and walks slowly towards the table controlling her breathing so nobody will know she's still nervous. Trying to get into a good teasing mood she makes sure to move her hips a lot more than necessary. Reaching the table she looks over her shoulder at Kim, “Oh Kim? Would you be a dear and hold this thing for me while I'm being probed by these gentlemen?”

Kim grins, “Anything for you lover!” She sashays slowly towards Asuna and does her best to focus every eye but her sister's on her walk.

Asuna has the suit off by the time Kim gets there and whispers, “Thanks for going along!”

Kim takes the garment and whispers back, “No problem! I love to tease and they sure look like they deserve it. Besides it's better than you chopping off their heads.”

Asuna giggles, “Well, less messy anyway.” She hops up on the table and says out loud, “Remember to tell me what you are going to do first and I reserve the right to refuse anything I consider too invasive.”

The lead researcher scowls but nods, “Any changes you'd like to report?”

Sue shakes her head, “Nothing's different from last time.”

He nods and makes a note, “Very well we'll proceed with the ultrasound.”

One of the lab guys comes forward with the gel and Asuna grabs it from him, “I'll spread that on by myself.”

The lab guys all study the ultrasound carefully then the lead states, “Note in her file that ovaries seem to be full sized and may be putting out hormones but are still not connected to anything. Uterus is still growing but has extended fallopian tubes. It is not connected to the cervix but seems to have migrated towards it by 2.5 cm since last visit. Need blood test to determine hormone levels. Recommend at least one more visit with ultrasound.”

While Asuna cleans up the gel Clarence tells her, “We'll need to take a blood sample to check your hormone levels.”

Asuna nods and holds out her left arm. An assistant quickly draws two vials of blood then hands her gauze to hold over the wound. “Are we done now?” she asks.

“We are done with you Subject One,” he replies. “You may get dressed now.”

Asuna takes her sensor embedded garment back from Kim and slides back into it. Meanwhile Linda has guided Kim to a seat on the table and is holding her hand as they start the mundane part of the initial check up.

Once she is dressed again Asuna moves to stand next to Linda and does her best to look as protective as she can without actually threatening them. They definitely noticed but said nothing about it.

“Next we shall draw blood,” they said then did it. Asuna held the gauze so Kim's hand was free to keep holding Linda's hand. “Next we shall test the reflexes in your legs,” one said holding up an odd looking hammer.

“I'd advise you to not be standing directly in front of the leg you test,” Linda said.

The man nodded, “I will be careful.” From that test, and a few others, they determined that her reactions were four times as fast as normal. They recorded her height, weight, eye color, and hair color.

After checking the reading from the sensors in the suit the lead researcher states the following while an assistant copies it down, “Subject Two is 5' 3”, 110 lbs, has blonde hair and grey eyes. She has a greater electromagnetic field surrounding her than a baseline. This supports the theory she gains her speed from being an Energizer. Subject Two may also be an Exemplar as significant muscle mass was gained during manifestation. We shall proceed with the necessary tests.”

They tested leg as well as arm strength and found that while her arm strength was enough to suggest her as an exemplar it was fairly unremarkable for one at 217 lbs. Her leg strength was more than double that though and topped out at a very respectable 500 pounds.

Hearing how fast her cuts and concussion healed they also tested her for regeneration, which was distinctly not fun.

Her top speed was just short of 100 mph but that was at a flat sprint and she wobbled dangerously off balance when she briefly reached that speed. Her hand-eye coordination was now excellent though so the researchers theorized that any coordination problems involved in running should resolve themselves in short order. She managed to spend fifteen minutes running at 75 mph before tripping and being caught by Asuna.

The lead researcher also asked to see her back in two weeks for a follow up visit to see if her problems had resolved themselves. Dismissed they headed back in to the locker room to shower and change back in to normal clothes.

“Need another energy bar?” Asuna asked, holding one out.

“Thanks!” Kim said smiling. It was gone fast and then Kim showered while the other two waited.

“Cafeteria next? I'm a bit hungry too and we have to wait for her M.I.D. Right?” Asuna asked.

“Right,” Linda replied. “So yeah the Caf is fine by me.” She smiled, “You are doing great by the way. Thanks for catching Kim out there when she tripped.”

Asuna blushed at the praise, “Thanks, it's my pleasure though. I don't mind it at all.”

Once Kim was showered and changed they head for the cafeteria to await the findings.
