Chima- Almost done yet?
Me- Almost, this chapter then one more and I will be done!
Chima- Good! Alright OrangeChima does not own SRMTHFG but she does own the character Seelie
Seelie knew she wasn't dead, but she wished she were. She hurt a lot, and she couldn't figure out where she was. She opened her eyes cautiously and saw that she was in a room with a lot of medical equipment. The walls were made of metal. She thought hard about what had happened, and finally, she remembered her battle with her sister, and the Hyperforce coming at the last moment.
Her mind gave a jolt, warning her that she wasn't alone. While she was looking at the room, someone was looking at her. Carefully, without looking over at the direction the presence was, she closed her eyes and pretended to fall sleep.
"Nice try. If it wasn't for that slight jump you made, I would have actually thought you had fallen asleep!" Seelie rolled over and saw a yellow furred monkey grinning at her.
Seelie grinned back. "I guess I am out of practice then. I should have been able to control that movement."
"You did better then most. My name's Nova. How are you feeling?"
"Well, I am in pain, so I guess I am not dead. Nice to meet you. I guess Chiro and Antauri told you who I am?" Seelie thought for a moment, and then added, "How long have I been asleep?"
"Yeah, Chiro and Antauri told us about you, but I was still a little surprised you can understand us. You have been out for three days. The first night was a little tough, but you were mostly healed by the second night. You heal really fast for a human. Even most witches can't heal that fast!" Nova looked at Seelie's shoulder. It was still a shallow wound. "Originally that gash was six inches long. It was really deep, but we didn't even need to add stitches for it to close up. Really, we didn't do anything but stop the bleeding."
"And chase off the bad guys... and give me a safe place to heal. You guys have done a lot; thank you. And the speed healing would explain the headache I have. I have never been hurt this badly before, so this isn't a power I work with often."
Seelie sat up and Nova could see she was much more relaxed now. Her eyes were bright and she was smiling a lot more. For the next hour or two, Nova filled her in about the monkey team, and Seelie told her about her past. Nova was a little surprised to hear Seelie hadn't had any previous training. She kept her powers under control easily, and to beat Valina by herself was not easily managed.
Suddenly, a blue furred monkey walked in. He stopped and stared surprisedly at Seelie when he saw her.
Nova laughed.
"I told you she was healing fast Gibson!"
Gibson looked a little embarrassed and a little annoyed.
"Er...Well...We were assuming she healed according to a regular human's rate of healing time. We didn't add in the factor of her being a witch." Gibson tried to look like he had expected this to happen. He reminded Seelie of a science teacher back home who used big words all the time. She laughed.
"I'm sorry if I went against your No magic exists theory, Gibson. But you are right, Witches do sometimes have a faster healing rate depending on the level of compatibility with good magic. In other words, the better the witch, the better the healing powers. Evil witches like my sister have a completely different way of healing that is dangerous, and can end up killing the witch if she is not powerful enough. It's like a balance between powers." Seelie grinned; she had used big words and terms against her science teacher back home, too.
Gibson looked surprised. The fact that she spoke as she did, and in their language, made him give her a little more respect, as Seelie knew it would.
Seelie decided to cause a little more trouble as she sensed a familiar presence by the door.
"Come in Chiro!" She said loudly just as Chiro was about to knock on the door.
He came in with a surprised look on his face and then shook it off. He remembered her little games of magic from earlier meetings, and was starting to think they were pretty normal now. The others looked shocked though; Seelie just grinned as she saw that her plan had worked.
"Thank you Seelie. And I guess you're feeling better since you're back to causing scenes?" he asked.
Seelie just grinned wider and her eyes flashed again.
Chiro noted that she was sitting up with no problem at all, and that her shoulder seemed to be giving her no problem at all.
"Slight head ache, and my shoulder hurts still," said Seelie, " but other then that and exhaustion, I think I am okay. We are messing with Gibson's no magic theory ." Seelie's eyes flashed again with laughter.
Nova and Gibson finally quit looking so shocked. They left with Chiro so Seelie could get some more sleep. Although she was mostly healed, the amount of energy and magic it took to heal was physically and mentally draining.
Out in the hallway the three team members discussed what would happen next.
"Valina and Mandarin will come back. They know she is a threat to them," Gibson noted seriously.
Nova thought for a moment. "Seelie is powerful, and she knows how to fight and control her magic well. She has fast reflexes too. That could be a strong addition to our side."
"For now, let's just let her recover. She's staying with us for that long at least. She should stay close until we know Valina won't come after her again." Chiro looked back towards the med bay.
"That could be a while Chiro. They won't give up until they know that she is too strong and a waste of their time," Gibson pointed out.
And as Seelie was falling asleep, she was thinking the same exact thing.
