While Aileen and Zeeltor talked the medical supplies had arrived in a number of boxes. Aileen signed for them and continued with Zeeltor.
"Now show me the patient," Zeeltor had said.
Aileen walked with the communicator to the bathroom door and knocked softly. "It's me, Kay. Dr. Zeeltor's on my com and wishes to see you. May we come in?"
"Y-yes..."
That didn't sound good. Aileen opened the door to find Kay shivering, and to her horror, she saw sheaths of some of what was left of his skin in clumps around the drain of the tub.
Quickly she aimed the com at Kay for Zeeltor to see.
Zeeltor was unusally silent as his screen showed a scan of Kay's body. Suddenly he was all business.
"Raise the temperure of the room to 99 degrees." said Zeeltor briskly.
"Got it,"
"Now he'll need antibiotics and you'll need to remove all of what's left of the dead skin. There should be a box marked FX with the medical supplies."
Aileen didn't like the sound of that but she hurried out to the main room with the com anyway.
"Found it!"
"There should be a small orange bottle marked the same, and three hyposprays."
Aileen tore the box open. "Got them!" She hurried back into the bathroom.
"Give him the blue hypospray first. It's automatic. Just remove the seal and press the business end to one of his arms."
Aileen found a small patch of relatively uninjured skin and pressed the hypo to it.
Almost immediately Kay's shivers increased dramatically.
"Zeeltor! He's getting worse!"
"Not to worry! That was a super rehydrating formula. He's simply coming out of shock and feels the cold more. Now give him the yellow hypo. This one will kill any nasty germs; and then the red. It should keep him nice and numby."
As soon as that was done Zeeltor continued.
"Now fill the tub with very warm water."
Quickly Aileen scooped out the dead skin and sharted the water.
"As the tub fills give him ALL the water he wants to drink!"
Aileen couldn't help but smile at the sudden look of interest from Kay at Zeeltor's last sentence. Quickly she had her hands together and filled to overflowing with water as it came from the facet.
Kay drank with singular purpose as she brought him handfuls upon handfuls of sweet, clear and sparkling water. Again and again he swallowed, cupping her hands with his own each time she brought them to him.
Finally he could drink no more. Zealtor chuckled warmly. "Looks like both tub and patient are full!"
Sated, Kay sighed and laid his head back, turning his face to one side and closing his eyes as Aileen smoothed back his hair.
"Now comes the nasty part."
At Zeeltor's words Kay's eyes reopened and Aileen looked worriedly at the communicator. Zeeltor was still smiling but with him that wasn't necessarily saying much.
"Time to remove any and all remaining dead skin."
Kay and Aileen exchanged glances as Zeeltor continued.
"Just pour the entire contents of the bottle marked "FX" into the tub. It will do the rest."
Aileen looked at Kay uncertainly as she picked up the bottle. His expression was unreadable, but he nodded uncouragingly.
"Full of painkiller, remember?"
Zeeltor heard him. "Oh this shouldn't hurt at all," replied the alien scientist. "I THINK."
Reluctantly Aileen broke the seal and poured in the contents.
Immediately there was an ominous swirling in the water and it began to foam furiously.
Alarmed, Aileen watched as the foam rose and began to cover what little of Kay remained outside of the water.
"Kay?!"
He was completely hidden by the foam.
Kay, is it hurting you?!"
The heap of foam heaved and dipped as Kay dug himself out enough to reveal his eyes.
"Nope. Kind of swoothing."
Relieved, Aileen allowed herself another look at the foam encased Kay and found herself giggling.
"What?"
"Is this what a bubblebath looks like?"
Kay briefly glanced down at the tub. "Yep. Pretty much."
Aileen made herself a mental note to get herself a bottle at the first opportunity.
They passed the next twenty minutes in companionable silence, then Zeeltor came back THE WISHFUL 28b
on Aileen's communicator.
"The skin removal should be done by now." said Zeeltor cheerfully. "The next step is to drain the water and rinse off the patient."
Aileen used the detachable showerhead to very gently rinse Kay off as the tub drained. As the bubbles left Ka's shyness seemed to return. He kept his eyes closed and remained silent with his face averted as Aileen scooped out the skin from around the now empty drain.
"Now to prepare for the actual biochemical exchange."
said Zeeltor, cheerful as ever. "There should be a green box with special material for burn patients to lie on. Take one out and spread it on the bed."
Aileen opened the box and pulled out a folded sheet wrapped in plastic. After breaking the seal se spread it on the bed.
"Now try and get the patient out of the tub and onto the burn sheet."
Aileen went back to Kay. "Come, Kay. You need to be in bed so we can shart the healing."
Reluctantly Kay accepted her help out of the tub and allowed himself to be led to the bed. Once in bed, however, he pulled up the edges of the burn sheet to over himself.
"It's all right, My Very Dearest, you needn't be shy with me."
"Don't exactly look my best," he mumbled.
Zeeltor's voice came again from Aileen's communicator.
"Now Agent Kay's urinary system is our next concern. The swelling simply must be brought down in time for when he needs to relieve himself. So you'd best shart there."
At Zeeltor's words Kay's eyebrow lifted. However, there was considerablely more response when Aileen reached to pull he edges of the burn sheet aside from the area mentioned.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Why shart THERE?" Kay gripped the edges of the burn sheet, preventing their removal.
"Kay, you heard Zeeltor. This is our first concern!" Said Aileen gently.
Still weak from his ordeal as well as from the move to the bed, Kay lost the tug of war with the sheet and watched in open dismay as Aileen leaned down over his groin.
"Whoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoawhoa whoa WHOA!"
He made no further protest as Aileen proceeded to literally kiss it into wellness, staying still and silent til she had finished for the time being.
Aileen smiled as she studied his genitals. The dangerous swelling had gone down considerably. Proudly she looked up to see Kay's reaction and saw the reason for his sudden cooperation.
Agent Kay, the most feared human in the universe, had fainted.
"Now show me the patient," Zeeltor had said.
Aileen walked with the communicator to the bathroom door and knocked softly. "It's me, Kay. Dr. Zeeltor's on my com and wishes to see you. May we come in?"
