A few days Later:
Tina stands in front of the monitor in the conference room. She looks at the monitor as Director Pickle goes over the medical report she submitted to him about the team. The twins would recover without any problems, but Stacy was healing slowly and she was suffering from spasms as her body recover from being forced to shift so soon. Every once in a while, she would feel pain from the spasms.

Director Pickle looks at the image of the young woman on his screen. He could see the conference room she was standing in.

“Does Fairchild need to come in for a deeper medical examination, Tina?” Mr. Pickle was worried about Fairchild’s condition. Among all the members of the team, she was one of the most valued because of her animal shapeshifting ability.

“I don’t believe so, Director. However, its going to take time for her to heal. She doesn’t posses the advance healing abilities as the others. Even if we speed her healing up with the nanites. We still wouldn’t know why her body is reacting like it is.” Tina was puzzled on why Stacy’s body was still feeling the effects of the black dust used on her.

“Alright, I’m taking Miss. Fairchild off active duty and putting her on medical leave. Let’s go ahead and send Miss. Fairchild to Dr. Morrison and her medical staff for further medical examination.”

“Yes sir.” Tina knew Dr. Morrison was one of the daughters of the owner of Blake Medical and was extremely talented in medicine.

“Will the team be able to function without Miss. Fairchild?”

“As you know, Miss. Fairchild has a close relationship with Spirit. They have a strong telepathic connection. However, they can operate without
each other without any problems.” Tina knew Spirit and Stacy were mentally link because of her animal connections. However, Spirit has been shown to be able to link with any animal.

“Alright, once all the other team members are up to health. Send them to the Island for further additional training. All their encounters have been recorded and new training has been developed to better train them.” Mr. Pickle had his training specialist go over all the encounters Alpha team have been in and develop strategies to counter them.

“Yes sir. When do you want to send Miss. Fairchild to Doctor Morrison?”

“Is she stable enough to travel right now?” Mr. Pickle wanted Dr. Morrison to examine Fairchild right away.

“She’ll need to be transported carefully, but yes.” Tina didn’t like it, but if they drugged Stacy. She could be moved.

“Alright, go ahead prep her. I’ll have a transport team fly out to pick her up.” Mr. Pickle writes down some notes on a pad.

“Yes sir.” Tina ends the video chat.

She leaves the conference room and heads down to the medical bay. She walks in and spot the twins still asleep. She walks over to Stacy and check on her condition. All her vitals were stable, but her muscle activities worried her.

Every once in a while, Tina could see Stacy’s body shake. The shakes weren’t too strong but it could cause the staples they used to seal her back to open. She brushes some of Stacy’s hair out of her eyes.

Rachel spotted Tina standing over by Stacy’s medical bed as she walks into the room. She wonders what Director Pickle had to say.

“What did the director have to say?” Rachel stops over by Stacy’s bed.

“Stacy is to be prepped and sent to Doctor Morrison for further examination. The others are to be sent to the Island for additional training when they are fully healed.” Tina looks at Stacy’s face and could see that she was in pain.

“At least she’s going to Dr. Morrison, instead of Dr. Salazer. I don’t trust that man.” Rachel has heard some rumors about Dr. Salazer.

“I agree. I don’t trust him either.” Tina has met the man and he struck her as a creepy fellow and someone not to be trusted.

“When is the transport suppose to be here?” Rachel knew Stacy was going to need to be prep in order to be moved.

“Don’t know yet.” Tina figures she’ll be told tomorrow morning.

“How are Spirit and Dingo doing?” Tina adjusts the machine Stacy was hooked up to.

“They are doing fine. Dingo has been downing chilly dogs like they are going out of style. As for Spirit, he’s taking it easy. He’s mediating outside on the beach.” Rachel checked on them before coming to check on the others.

“That’s good.” Tina turns and starts walking out of medical bay.

Rachel follows behind her. She figures once they know when Stacy was being transported. They will come back down and prep her to be moved.

Three Weeks Later:
Stacy looks out towards the waves as they crashed at her feet. It’s been three weeks since she returned from being at Dr. Morrison’s medical center. Her back still hurts her some, but it is better than it had been. The gash on her arm was nothing but a pink scar now.

She had found out that she could no longer shape shift as fast as she could before and that her ability has been diminished some. She could no longer change into mystical or alien creatures like she used to be able to. She still suffered from muscle spasms, but not as often as she had been since returning from the fight.

Dr. Morrison had her on muscle relaxers to help dull the pain. Also, her transformations were painful. It took her body a while to recover from changing a lot in a day. If she did only two, or three changes in a day’s time she was okay. However, if she did more then three changes, the pain was unbearable.

As for her schooling, she managed to catch up and get her bachelor degree in Criminal Justice. She was thinking about getting a paralegal Master’s degree. She still hasn’t met any one that was special to her. Not, that she has had a lot of chances to.

Most of her time has been taken up with recovering and retraining. Director Pickle had them retraining every other month now. Especially her, because she had to rely more on her physical abilities then her shape shifting abilities.

“How are you doing, Stacy?” Beverly walks up to Stacy and stand by her.

“I’m doing alright, I guess. I’m just tired and sore.” Stacy looks at Beverly and was glad that she has been like an older sister to her.

Stacy knew she didn’t know much about being a woman and had to learn how to act and react like a woman. Beverly had taken her under her wing and helped her adjust to being a girl. She has also been by her side since she returned from Dr. Morrison’s medical center.

“You know, Tina informed me that we have some vacation time coming up. Why don’t you come with me when I visit my folks?” Beverly looks down at Stacy when she mentions that.

“I would like that, Bev, and thanks.” Stacy hugs Beverly.

Beverly returns the hug. She holds Stacy for a little longer, before letting Stacy go. she knew Stacy has been shaken up by what happened to her. The two of them stand and enjoy the sunset, before heading back to the house.
