Doctor Wolfhart looks at all the surgeries her grandmother’s specialized hospital did to Mr. Johnthan Bounty. According to the records, he has had gender reassignment surgery done, his hip joint and pelvis area redone, so if an x-ray is taken he would show up as a gentic woman. His prostate was removed and specialized cloned female reproductive organs were created from stem cells from his body, so that there would be no rejections.
She knew that part came from her aunt. She had all the medical equipment and scientific equipment to clone organs. She knew her aunt could permanently change Mr. Bounty’s eye coloration from blue to violet.
She continue to read the medical file and couldn’t believe all the surgery Mr. Bounty underwent. She wonders why he did so much to his body? Also, why did her mother and the board agreed to do this to Mr. Bounty? It would take some serious convincing to approve all of the surgeries done.
Dr. Wolfhart knew she didn’t have access to anything else about Mr. Bounty. She looks at the new name given to Mr. Bounty and notices, his new name was Aemilia Scipio from Rome, Italy. She hopes Mrs. Scipio can speak fluent Italian or she’ll have to teach her the language and culture of the area. It was a good thing she spent three years in Naples.
Dr. Wolfhart grabs her doctors coat and put it on. She grabs her new Digital Stethoscope she just recently received from her family’s medical distributor. She loved how it made it easier to hear a persons breathing and taking their pulse. She adjust her glasses and walk out of her office.
Johnathan Bounty/ Aemilia Scipio Hospital room:
Aemilia was sitting up in bed and reading the local newspaper on her new tablet that her niece Lucia brought her. She was glad to have something to do to take her mind off all the surgeries she had done to herself. Her doctor had visited her while she had been asleep. The pain medicine she has been on has caused her to sleep a lot. She hasn’t had a chance to talk with her doctor.
Aemilia hears a knock on her hospital room door.
“Enter.” Aemilia looks at the door, as she puts the tablet down.
Dr. Wolfhart walks into the room and notices that Aemilia Scipio was awake and it looked like she was reading a tablet. A smile appears on her youthful face as she walks over to the bed “it’s good seeing you awake, instead of sleeping, Ms. Scipio.”
Aemilia looks at the blonde hair doctor. Her niece said Dr. Wolfhart was young, but she hadn’t said that Dr. Wolfhart looked beautiful. She noticed the gold rim glasses Dr. Wolfhart was wearing and the engagement and wedding ring on her ring finger. The rings looked custom made and had a nice diamond.
“Same here, doctor. My niece has told me a lot of nice things about you.”
“I hope it was all nice.” Doctor Wolfhart knew Ms. Scipio was related to Lucia, but couldn’t get any information from Lucia about their relationship. Now, she knows Lucia is the niece of Ms. Scipio.
“So, what is on the agenda for today, doc?” Aemilia was curious as what she has to do now.
“Well, for one thing, were going to take you to an examination room and check to see how everything is healing. After that, we’re going to rebuild your mobility up again. As you know, you had surgery in your pelvic area to make it easier for you to pass as a woman. You’re going to have to get uses to walking like a woman and familiar to how your new hips are situated.”
“This should be fun.” Aemilia wasn’t looking forward for all the retraining she has to do.
“Its all part of the recovery, Ms. Scipio. I’ll have April come in with a wheel chair and take you down to the examination room.”
“If you don’t mind me asking, where’s my niece today?” Aemilia wonders why Lucia wasn’t working.
“We’re not slave drivers Ms. Scipio. Today is Lucia’s day off. She’s a hard worker and deserves time off to relax.”
“Oh, okay. I was just wondering.” Aemilia felt foolish.
“It’s okay, Ms. Aemilia. She’s endeared herself to all of the staff here at the Château. She’s a special young woman.” Dr. Wolfhart turns and walks out of the hospital room.
A few minutes later, a young woman with copper color short hair enters the room pushing a old style wheel chair. She was wearing a uniquely styled nurses outfit.
“Ms. Aemilia, chariot awaits.” A beautiful smile appears on the young woman’s youthful face.
“I hope you’ll be helping me.” Aemilia didn’t think she could get her legs to cooperate with her.
“Of course, Ms. Aemilia.” April walks over to the side of the bed and helps Aemilia move from the bed to the chair.
Aemilia couldn’t believe how much energy and effort it was taking her to move. She felt some pain, but it took a lot of her energy to move.
April noticed how slowly Ms. Aemilia was moving and helped her. She didn’t know everything about this patient, because she normally handled the floor above this one.
“You’ll feel better once Doctor Wolfhart examines you and puts you through some simple exercises.” April pulls the chair back and slowly exit the room with Ms. Aemilia.
“You got to be kidding me, April. I’m as weak as a new born kitten.” Aemilia watches as April takes her to an elevator capable of putting a whole hospital bed in it.
“Ms. Wolfhart will give you a shot that will help your energy levels.” April has taken a few pills of the same stuff when she was feeling down.
Aemilia wonders what April was talking about. She doesn’t know if she should be worried. She feels the elevator stop at a subbasement floor and the doors open up. April pushes her towards another set of doors, while waving to other nurses and hospital staff.
“Here we are, Ms. Aemilia.” April places the back of her hand against a black square and the doors open.
Aemilia has heard about implanted rf chips, but has never encountered them. When she looks around the room, it looked like something out of the Next Generation of Star Trek.
“What is this place?” Aemilia looks around and couldn’t believe allt he high tech equipment.
“This is medical bay four. Now, we need to get you on the medical bed so it can scan you and show us your insides.” April wheels Aemilia over towards the medical bed and help her onto it.
“Where did you guys get such advance medical technology from?” Aemilia has never seen such medical equipment before.
“I’ll let Dr. Wolfhart explain everything. I’ll be back to take you to do some simple physical exercises.
April turns and walks out of the room. She waves as she leaves. There was mischief smile on her face.
A few minutes later, Dr. Wolfhart walks in and smiles at her ‘I hope you like our medical bay.”
“I did, it looks like something out of Star Trek The Next Generation. How did you guys get such advance medical equipment?”
“Where we got it, is from my Aunt at Blake Medical. As where the technology is from, some of it was developed by my aunt and some of it is from evil doctors and sciencist that developed it, but used it for evil purposes. Afte studying it and testing it. My aunt decided she could use it to help people.”
“How come every hospital don’t have this type of equipment?” Aemilia was curios.
“Cost and people would freak out about what it can do. Right now only a few major hospitals in the US have the old style medical beds my aunt developed. This is a fourth generation medical bed. Its capable of doing all sorts of things. Now, lets take a look inside of you.” She presses a few buttons.
The two panels from the sides of the bed slides up to form a dome over Aemilia. A bright yellow beam scans Aemilia’s abdormen. She feels a tickling sensation as the beam touches her skin.
Dr. Wolfhart watches a holographic picture appear above the dome and look at every organ inside Aemiliai’s body. Even Aemilia was surprised by the hologram. She couldn’t see it very well, but caught glimpses of it.
After Dr. Wolfhart finishes her examination and making notes on her pad, with the captured imaged as well. She does a full physical including a pelvic exam. She knew most women hated doing this thing, but it had to be done.
“How does it look doc?” Aemilia was curious at what her groin area looked like.
“Do you want to see?” Dr. Wolfhart looks up and at Aemilia.
“Sure.” Aemilia always wonder what it would be liked to have a vagina.
Dr. Wolfhart takes a detail picture on her tablet and shows Aemilia. The picture looked nasty because of the stitches, brusing, and everything else that was done to her.
“God, it looks nasty.” Aemilia couldn’t believe how bad it looked.
“Give it time, Aemilia. You’re still healing. It will look better once everything is healed. Now, I’m going to give you a vitamin shot that should bring your energy levels up and help get the rest of the drugs in your system out.” Dr. Wolfhart gives Aemilia a shot she ahd already prepared in advance.
Aemilia hated needles, but in this case, she didn’t feel the needle go into her arm. She looks at Dr. Wolfhart“that was painless.”
“Thanks, I try my best. Now, lets get you to exercise some.” Dr. Wolfhart helps Aemilia back into her wheelchair.
A few seconds later, April enters the room and pushes her out towards the exercise room.
Author Note: This story takes place after the events in The Wolf, The Owl, And The Cheshire.
Somewhere Over The Ural Mountains:
An unmarked government-owned plane explodes over the Ural Mountain range. All that can be seen is a huge fireball and a bunch of debris as it falls from the sky.
“It’s done, boss. Johnathan Bounty is dead.” Another plane following the first plane recorded the destruction of the first plane.
“Make sure, he has a nasty knack for surviving and escaping from life-threatening situations.” Sergei Solonik has tried over a hundred times to kill Johnathan Bounty and each time the bastard managed to either kill the attackers or survive the attack.
He wanted to make sure this was one Bounty who never returned from the dead. The information Johnathan Bounty has managed to collect about his organization and secret accounts for the British Secret Service has hurt him dearly. It has weakened him drastically and made him the laughingstock in the underworld.
“Boss, there is no sign of Johnathan Bounty surviving that explosion.” Vladimir and the other pilot with him have circled the area making sure Johnathan Bounty hadn’t survived that explosion.
They knew if he had, they would have to go after him and that was one thing neither one of them wanted to do. Nor was the punishment they knew their boss would inflict on them for felling again. Vladimir looks down at his right hand where several fingers had been chopped off.
Unknown to Vladimir Mikhailov, someone had survived the explosion and was waiting for them to leave. The cloaked figure remained hidden and waited as the high winds blew against the shelter covering the figure. The hidden figure was wounded, but alive. They planned on moving when night fell and made their way to safety.
Vladimir and his copilot continue to double and triple-check that Johnathan Bounty is dead, before being forced to leave the area due to low fuel. Vladimir hoped that Johnathan Bounty was gone or it was going to be his and his copilot that would pay the price for failure. This was one time he couldn’t afford to fail.
Once the other plane leaves darkness falls. The hidden figure comes out from hiding and begins the long tedious task of climbing down the mountain range and making their way to the Arctic Ocean. Once there, they will be picked up by a trusted confidant and taken to Sweden for surgery.
Meanwhile back at British Secret Service headquarters, intercepted messages from Vladimir Mikhailov and Sergei Solonik are brought to the attention of Sir John Cumming. The communication was about Johnathan Bounty and how he was reportedly killed over the Ural Mountain range.
The exact location wasn’t mentioned, but from all accounts from several radar units in the area and from satellite imaging. He watched as the plane exploded and disintegrated.
The tracker onboard the plane shows it to be too high up in the mountain range to attempt any type of retrieval. Thermals of the area didn’t show any heat signature that would show anyone still alive. He would have to wait and see if Johnathan Bounty survived the explosion. Until then, he knew Johnathan Bounty’s next of kin would have to be notified.
Baroness Charlotte Basset’s Place:
Charlotte was having her morning breakfast when Zoey came walking into the kitchen nook. Zoey had her drawing pad in her hands.
“Watch you got to show me, kiddo?” Charlotte knew Zoey had no control over her gifts and how sometimes they overwhelmed her.
Zoey hugs her mother first, before showing her the picture she drew early this morning. It showed an airplane exploding and debris falling from the sky. There was an image of a wolf falling from the debris and hitting the mountainside.
Charlotte looked at the picture and knew the image of the wolf represented her family clan. The mountain range she wasn’t sure of, but she got the message of the plane exploding. Someone in their family was involved in an exploding plane.
Charlotte looks at Zoey to make sure this drawing is right. “Are you sure about this, sweetie?”
Zoey nods her head yes, as she rests her head against her mother’s shoulder. Ever since that evil woman who her uncle was forced to fight messed with her mind and nearly caused her to hurt her older sister. She has been regretting having her gift. The only way she could get rid of it was to either be kept on medication that made her mind too fuzzy to function or to operate and cut that section of her mind out where her gift was located.
If that happened, it would lobotomize her. She would lose her artistic talents and be unable to function properly. It was worse than death in her opinion. She knew her mother would never allow anything like that to happen.
Charlotte picks her cell phone up and calls operations to see if any of her family members have been killed. She knew several of her family members were agents inside MI 5 and MI 6. She was lucky that she was a director of a section inside of MI 5 or she wouldn’t be able to find out.
While Charlotte was waiting for someone to answer, she looked towards Zoey “Go ahead and fix yourself some breakfast, sweetie.” Charlotte places a kiss on Zoey’s cheek.
Zoey hugs her mother again and fixes herself a bowl of cereal. Her mother had her favorite kind of cereal shipped in from the United States since they couldn’t buy it in England. She knew the wolf meant someone in their family or extended family had died.
British Secret Service Cyber-Division:
Mouse had been informed about her cousin Johnathan Bounty being killed by the Russian mobster known as Sergei “The Butcher” Solonik. The following day, after she had been informed about his death. She received an encrypted text asking her if everything had been arranged. She knew whom the text was from and what they were asking. She texted them back with just one word “Yes!”
After the text was sent, Mouse activated a special program that she wrote to establish the identity she created for the person who texted her. All government computers, banking systems, credit card companies, and motor vehicles would have the new identity added to their system. The information would go back thirty years for the person.
Once that was done, she received the okay to update her cousin's file as being killed in action. She makes up some sort of BS excuse for the records, because the true reason he was killed, she couldn’t put into his file. Only the director her cousin worked under and the director of MI 6 would know the true reason. The higher-ups knew they couldn’t hide anything from her. It was the one reason they kept her around in the cyber division. She could access any computer system in any country without being discovered. Plus, with her knowledge of computer systems, she was too valuable to let her leave.
Two Weeks Later in Sweden:
A mysterious figure enters Torne Valley Hospital and is taken to a private room. A few days later the person is prepared for surgery and is taken to a private operating room to be operated on by a private doctor and her staff. For the next eight hours, Doctor Johanna Johanson and her staff perform surgery on the mysterious person. Everything from facial reconstructive surgery to gender reassignment surgery is being performed all at once.
The true identity of the person is being kept secret even from the doctor. Everything about the person is so secretive, that everyone that has contact with the person, has undergone a background check so intense that it felt like a rectal inspection.
After the surgery and spending two weeks recovering. The person is kept bandaged up and transported to an undisclosed location by helicopter and transferred to another helicopter to a historical château in Occitanie, France. There the person is tended to by several trusted private nurses and a trusted doctor from the Blake Medical Foundation.
While the person is recovering from all the operations. They ponder what they are going to do next. They know the recovery time isn’t going to be fast and they will need to find something new to do since their old life is behind them.
Historical Château in Occitanie, France:
Lucia knocks on the door of her uncle’s hospital room door before entering. She had a medical pad in her hand. She has to get used to her uncle, being her aunt now. Not that her aunt will carry the Bounty last name anymore.
She enters quietly and carefully, so as not to settle her new aunt. As she enters the room, she spots her aunt still asleep. She walks over to the bed and checks the machines her aunt was hooked up to. She couldn’t believe all the surgeries her aunt underwent to change her identity.
Lucia takes a clip-on blood monitor device out of her pocket and clips it on her aunt’s finger. She gives it a few minutes to monitor her aunt’s blood pressure and pulse. She wonders why her aunt wants to change her identity. No one else, except a chosen few in the family knew about her uncle becoming someone else.
Once she was done getting the baseline stats. Lucia double-checks the connections to her aunt. She knew it would be a few days before her aunt would wake up and after several months of recovering from everything. Once Lucia is done checking on her aunt, she moves on to check on her other patients on the same floor as her aunt.
Throughout the day, she changes out her aunt’s IV bags and makes sure everything is okay for her aunt. By the time her shift ended, she was tired. When she turns her floor over to her replacement, she heads down to the cafeteria to grab something to eat.
After eating, Lucia heads towards her quarters to send a report to her uncle Lucius about her aunt. Only a handful of her relatives knew about what her aunt was doing. A funeral was being planned for her aunt’s former identity. As far as the rest of the family knew, Johnathan Bounty had died in an explosion over the Ural Mountains.
Her uncle Lucius was going to make sure that certain members of their family didn’t take revenge on the person for killing Johnathan. It had to go this way, for a reason. Once Lucia was done sending the report to her uncle. She gets undressed and enjoys a nice relaxing soak and several glasses of wine.
Mid-Week:
When Lucia goes in to check on her aunt, she notices her aunt slowly waking up. She stands close to the bed and just watches her aunt. She knew she had to be careful because her aunt was a dangerous person and she didn’t want to startle her.
Johnathan slowly woke up and felt himself covered from head to toe in bandages. As his eyes slowly focus, he spots his niece Lucia standing near the bed he is lying on.
“How did things go?” Johnathan was still feeling the effects of the drugs he was given for the pain.
“Fine, let me get you a glass of cold water, uncle.” Lucia walks out of the bedroom.
While Lucia is gone, Johnathan takes stock of his surroundings. He knew his body was covered and that he had a strange weight on his chest.
He also felt that his insides had been rearranged as well. He knew his body pretty well and guessed that everything that had been planned was done.
A few minutes later, he spots his niece walking back into his room with a pitcher and a cup of ice. Lucia moves a small table over to the bed and sets the pitcher and cup on it. She pours some water into the cup.
Lucia pulls a straw out of her pocket and takes the cover off. She holds the cup and straw close to her aunt’s mouth “Take a slow sip.”
Johnathan does as he is ordered to do. The water felt nice going down his dry throat. He takes several more sips, emptying the plastic cup.
Lucia sets the empty cup on the table and looks down at her new aunt. Even her uncle’s eyes had been changed. The only thing still resembling her uncle was what was inside his head.
“The doctor taking care of you won’t be on duty until later. Is there anything I can do for you?” Lucia hopes everything is alright with her new aunt.
“Yes, is everything going to plan?” Johnathan wanted to make sure everything he, his uncle Lucius, and his aunt Amalia planned out was going to plan.
“Everything is proceeding to plan. You have been declared dead and a new identity has been created for you and established. Mouse made sure of that. All paper records of your existence have been taken care of by MI 6. If anyone digs into your past, we will be alerted. As for family records, the council has placed you in the Shadow book. Only certain clan elders have access to that book.”
“And the operation of the artificial organs?” Johnathan knew a complete biology had to be created using his cells.
“As far as your records about that are concerned, everything went fine. You had no rejections; your body accepted all the new female organs.” Lucia didn’t understand everything that had been done to her aunt but knew everything was experimental.
Johnathan closes his eyes and sighs. He wishes he hadn’t done everything that was done to him, but he had no choice. He was getting tired of looking over his shoulder all the time. He has barely escaped the death traps set for him.
“So, what am I to call you from now on?” Lucia looks down at her aunt.
“Aemilia Scipio. I’m your aunt, but not by marriage.” Johnathan and his aunt Amalia have already worked out a believable background.
“Okay, you’re going to have to explain that.” Lucia pulls a chair over and sits down on it.
“Easy, I was adopted by our aunt Rhea in Rome. Most people who know our Aunt Rhea don’t know how many children she has taken under her wing. There’s no way to verify my identity.”
“I can see that. No one knows except Uncle Remus and Aunt Rhea herself how many children she has taken under her wing. Does she know you are one of hers?”
“Yes, she knows. So, if someone decides to do a background search on me. There will be some truth to the cover.”
“This is going to take some time for me to call you Aunt Aemilia.” Lucia knew she needed to think of her uncle as her aunt now.
“You have time. I planned on staying here for a while to get used to my new body and relearn certain skills. I have to change how I fight, speak, move, and everything else that could give me away.”
“That’s a lot of relearning.” Lucia wonders why her former uncle was putting himself through all of this.
“True, but I’ve never backed down from any challenge before.”
“Well, I’ll be here to help you. Also, Doctor Stacy Wolfhart is rather good too. So, you’ll be under very good care.” Lucia has worked with Doctor Wolfhart several times.
“What can you tell me about her?” Aemilia wanted to know more about her doctor.
“She’s in her late twenties, is married to a navy pilot, and has two young girls. One of her daughters is adopted and has been abused by her stepmother. The stepmother allowed the girl to be attacked by a rabid dog and the dog disfigured her face. The poor girl had to be given treatments to fight off the effects of rabies as well.”
“Anything else?” Aemilia wanted to know more about the doctor.
“She comes from a rich family and has twelve other brothers and sisters. Her twin sister is an engineer and holds several PhD’s. As for Doctor Wolfhart herself, she is extremely smart and talented. She cares a lot about the health of her patients and wants the best for them. She never gives up on her patients. She’s someone I trust and would want to operate on me.” Lucia trusted Doctor Wolfhart with her life.
“Well, if you trust her, I guess I can. When will she be here?” Aemilia was feeling tired.
“In one more hour. I got to go and finish my rounds. I’ll let her know you’re awake.” Lucia stands and puts the chair back where it had been.
“Alright, I’ll try and get a nap in.” Aemilia closes her eyes.
A smirk appears on Lucia’s face as she leaves her aunt’s room and starts her rounds.
