For Thundera

Chapter 1
A week after Leo had proposed to Amala, Evil Chaser First Class Shay had woken up. Wizz-Ra had flown back to Third Earth to see how she was doing and to see if the spell he'd cast had any lingering side effects. Mandora and Alexei had stayed to make sure that she was not going to be alone but as they found out the peoples of Third Earth cared about the Evil Chaser and there had been almost a constant stream of visitors. Now as Wizz-Ra entered the room, the former Evil Chaser and former FSB officer were glad to see him.
"First Class Shay it is good to see you are awake. The doctors tell me your road to recovery will take some time," the wizard smiled slightly.
"Yes," she smiled back but he could tell that she was struggling with processing the words. It was not uncommon for an injury such as this to result in the permanent loss of brain function. Right now it was too early to tell if she would ever truly recover.
"We appreciate you stopping by. The doctors feel that familiar surroundings would be good for her but they are also concerned about her muscle tone. The nurses have been flexing her muscles but of course they are nowhere near the condition they need to be in," Mandora said.
"I wish I could offer a magical solution for that but I can't. Sometimes nothing works better than good old fashioned hard work. However, that doesn't mean I can't poke around a little to see how her brain is actually functioning," the ancient Egyptian told them.
"How does that all work?" Alexei wanted to know.
"We had our ways back in my time. Most of which were probably lost a long time ago. If she'll let me, I'll cast a spell similar to the last one that I cast and it should help stimulate the brain a little. That's about all I can do though I wish I could do more," Wizz-Ra explained.
"Do," Shay said without even needing to be asked.
"Yes ma'am," he nodded before placing his index and middle fingers on both sides of the patient's head. He closed his eye and chanted in his ancient language. Mandora and Alexei could see his fingertips glow and they wondered just what exactly was going on. Shay's eyelids grew heavy and she eventually closed them.
"I have done all I can do. Now she must rest and so must I. Not having to go back to the Seventh Dimension has been handy but I am still working on regenerating my powers," he admitted.
"Not a problem. Take a seat," Alexei offered him a chair.
"Thank you. So how have you two been holding up?" He asked.
"Ok I guess. We were just hoping for better results for poor Shay," Mandora admitted.
"Yes especially since I heard Captain Ashok is already back at work. He was very lucky that Lord Panthro recognized what was happening to him. Still Shay is strong and she will recover," Wizz-Ra said with confidence.
"She starts physical and mental therapy tomorrow and we will be staying to help. I've called home and they are working up information for the doctors here and getting us some more of our personal belongings," Alexei told him.
"Excellent," the wizard smiled. That's when a nurse knocked on the door and Mandora got up to get it. The two quickly discussed something and then the former Evil Chaser turned to Wizz-Ra and said,
"Sahara is on the line. They need you back as soon as you can be. She's having some sort of issue with her powers and they aren't sure what is going on."
"It could finally be the sign we are waiting for. Tell them I'll be on the first transport back to New Thundera," he said.
