Christmas day
"ok so I spoke to the doctor and emailed him a copy of the insurance card and he said he's gonna come drop off the meds for Alissa in an hour, he said she will still experience the PTSD but it won't make he look so insane or act as bad and he checked in her medical history and did confirm she was indeed on the medicine growing up also a med for seizures so he set that prescription up as well" says Cassandra as Alissa walks over
"I hate my life" says Alissa
"why" asks Cat
"I woke up from a nightmare, took a pair of scissors and cut Mikey's hair and screamed at him and now he's scared of me" says Alissa as Jade walks over
"not scared Alissa, concerned, Erica is the one who was scared first, remember the meds you were on when you were in school with them before you got taken" says Jade brandishing the medicine bag
"no way that medicine isn't cheap, how i-i-I" stutters Alissa as she hugs Jade
"the doc was supposed to deliver them but there was a medical emergency at the hospital so I took the initiative and picked them up, long story short I'm the prescription pick-up person and I was alerted to a prescription that was supposed to be delivered that now couldn't be so I drove over" says Jade
"but my parents had to get a loan to get my meds and get a second job to pay for them, how…. How can you afford them" says Alissa shocked
"easy, I'm in a relationship with Jade and you're in a poly relationship with her brother which makes you family which means your meds are covered for life" says Tori
"plus she's a mega popstar now, her albums are selling so fast now it's insane" says Rebecca
"also I care Alissa, I see how you make Erica, Sabrina and Mikey smile and it reminds me of what I have, in my eyes just because I have money doesn't make me any more special, I'm paying my taxes just like every other American, hefty taxes in fact, what's funny is I don't mind" says Tori
"but you have money, why don't you use it so you don't have to pay as much tax" asks Alissa
"it's just not who I am at all Alissa, there is something people don't know about you isn't there" says Tori
"my family was British Royalty, they got kicked out for doing weed, they had a problem but they were almost clean when they were killed, my aunt and uncle called me the mongrels daughter, they hated my family, they killed my entire family to get to me" says Alissa
"your brother is dead yes but your little sister isn't" says Akina
"where is Anna please I need to see her" pleads Alissa
"nobody is allowed to see her, she's not stable Alissa" says Akina
"please, I'm begging you" says Alissa
"I'll see what I can do" says Akina
2 hours later in a teen mental health facility
"you know she seemed to calm down when she heard her sister was coming to visit, that's the first time in months she's been calm" says Doctor Jake
"you do know what that is right doc" asks Cassandra
"yes sis I do, it means she witnessed her family's death and Alissa's kidnapping" says Jake
"you know If I didn't have such a high IQ and a love of the medical sciences bro, just take Alissa to her" says Cassandra
With Anna
"oh my God Anna you're alive…, I was so worried" says Alissa
"she can't hear you or talk back Alissa" says Doctor James
"that's not right, she was perfectly able to when I last saw her" says Alissa as Anna signs to James
"a lot has happened to her in two years Alissa, we found her half starved, the boys here push her around, she has memory problems as a result of the boys pushing her around she hit her head hard and it's hard for her to do a lot" says James as Anna turns on her hearing aid
"sissy yurs hea" says Anna
"I want to take her to where I live now, can I please" pleads Alissa
"she takes meds twice a day, do you think you can handle it, also you should know your old house is still vacant, the police are holding it as evidence in the case against Lewis's accomplice, if you ask the cops they can bring you anything you want from it" says James
"she's my little sister yes of course I can handle it, I have to take meds twice a day anyway, breakfast and just before bed right?" says Alissa
"breakfast and supper actually and she's not willingly taking them" says James as Alissa glares at Anna
"Anna you know better, mom may be dead but that doesn't mean that her rules and what she taught us suddenly don't matter, she died trying to protect us, I spent TWO YEARS thinking all my family was dead" says Alissa
"sowwy" says Anna
"you will take those meds because they help you cope and if they don't then Tori Vega's on call doctor will find ones that do, please don't sour your memory of mom or dad" says Alissa
"kawy" says Anna
"just so you know Alissa with the help of the therapist she was seeing she has come the conclusion she doesn't fit into the society's idea of gender and sexual norms" says James
"I saw that coming a mile away, what has she decided" says Alissa
"non-binary and she likes girls" says James
"I'm pansexual myself and trust me mom wasn't straight either and dad was trans, they'd be proud of us being confident in our sexuality and gender" says Alissa
"dada wathy a gwil?" asks Anna
"yes, we are her brother's babies, she only made the shift official after you were born anna, for five years, I was raised by my momma's, not sure dad's brother even knows we're still alive, hell I don't even know if he is alive" says Alissa
"Anna go pack your stuff, you're going home with your sister" says James as Anna squeals and runs out to pack her stuff
"what's the name of the girl she likes?" asks Alissa
"Jasmine Colt" says James
"ooh that's gonna be a problem" says Alissa
"why" asks James
"because she's been in a coma for six months, her and I were held captive together, they only took her to the hospital because they beat her so bad they realized she was as good as dead and as evil as they were, they wanted people alive to use them, it is my belief that had their operation not been found and had she not gone into a coma they'd have gone back for her when she was all healed up, though it is possible it's not a real real coma and just medically induced so her body could heal" says Alissa
"Cassie was always thorough, if anyone is keeping secrets to keep victims safe it's be her, also just an fyi Cassie graduated med school last year, she's on an fbi contract to find kidnap and rape victims and to keep them safe from those that would aspire to hurt them, is Jasmine cute" says James
"beyond cute, If I'm being honest I had high hopes she had feelings for Jasmine, I may not have known Anna lived but Jasmine spoke of Anna so highly, god I hope Jasmine is ok" says Alissa
"what kinds of things would Jasmine say" asks James
"Jasmine's family gave her up to save their own damn lives, they knew full well she was gonna be raped, she was an only child for god sake, Jasmine would say things like Anna has a cute smile, Anna has captivating eyes and ears, when I told her I thought Anna had died she cried all night, not just because she loves anna but because she couldn't imagine how hurt I felt being the older sister and being powerless to help or even know if anna was alive" says Alissa
"Jasmine was right, it can't be easy, Cassie said you found love and after what you went through you deserve that and so much more" says James as Anna cones back with a suitcase
"e'm readay sitha, weka gwing toffa newie howm" asks Anna
"yes but we're gonna visit someone first, I want you to be ready incase it doesn't turn out good" says Alissa
"Jassy coolt? De gwil I wove….." asks Anna
"yes, like I said you can be excited but don't be disappointed if things turn bad" says Alissa
At hospital in Jasmine's room
"Cassie as per your question she asked to be put out till she was healed and someone she could trust can take her home, the downside to it lasting six months is she has slight issues, for one she can't see more than six feet in front of her, she also has problems walking, she was warned of the possible issues and she stated it was better than being sent back to her parents and we don't know why" says Nurse Francesca
"her parents knew she was being taken to be raped and beaten, they willingly let those goons take her to save their own lives, Alissa and Anna's parents died fighting to save them, if she's afraid to see her parents it probably means she no longer believes they love her and to be honest they don't, they gave their daughter up to pay for drugs they were late on paying for" says Cassandra
"ok wow, you being on an FBI contract means everything you say has to be true or your flow of money stops, anna can cuddle with her right now, she's just asleep now, not in a coma" says Francesca as Anna cuddles Jasmine
"she really loves Jasmine huh" asks Doctor Kenny
"oh trust me you have no idea how excited Anna would be if Jasmine asked her out, we got pulled over seven times because she was bouncing in her seat so much that people thought either she was a kidnap victim or wasn't wearing a seat belt, and cops have to legally follow up with those claims whether they know it's a misunderstanding or not because on the occasion they aren't right it will be obvious they ignored a call and put people's lives at risk" says Cassandra
"ik jewst extitied tawes sesa mel cwish" says Anna
"ever the agent saving lives Cassie" says Francesca
"if only I could say Anna was my save, that was Officer Vega not me, Alissa on the other hand was my investigation goal" says Cassandra
"whoa wait you're a cop" asks Kenny
"federal agent Cassandra Valentine yes, I specialize in kidnap rescues as well as drug/sex ring rescues, I'm also a doctor which is often how I'm allowed on the property of the crimes, the criminals don't see FBI agent Cassandra Valentine and doctor Cassie Valentine as the same person even though I clearly am, I'm part of a group of doctors that respond to emergency calls, Maria among them, god Maria does gods work, if I had cancer like Tori did Maria would be the only doctor I'd ever trust" says Cassandra
"what did Anna say anyway" asks Kenny
"she said she was just so excited to see her crush, that's why she was bouncing in her seat so much, she has minor brain injuries from a group of bullies in General Jane's mental hospital, she's using what us feds call letter swap extension English, Sher brain knows what she wants to say but can't say what she wants to say so it extends some words to add repeated letters so for example excited became extitied" says Cassandra
"so it's predictable?" asks Kenny
"to a degree yes, as unpredictable as the brain is, personality plays a big part in how long the words get or which ones repeat, as Anna is non-binary and likes girls titi is expected as it is as close to another word for boobs as her brain would go while still getting the word excited across as the word she meant to use, cwish is also really close to crush, cwish could mean she "wishes" her cute girl can love her" says Cassandra
"it's actually so much simpler than that Cassie, wish was a huge part of her vocab growing up, instead of her saying can or hope she'd say wish because she didn't want to seem like she was demanding something, for example if mom and dad were working and she needed help with homework which by the way I'm terrible at she's say I wish my big sis could help me with my homework, also when I'd pick her up after a hot day at school she'd say I wish mom bought ice-cream knowing on hot days mom always has ice-cream for us when we get home" says Alissa
"ahh ok that makes it a lot easier if she is using a dictionary of words she favors, hey Anna did you want some ice-cream" says Francesca
"ifqueem?" asks Anna as her eyes light up and cuddles Jasmine tighter
"do not give her Chocolate, she's allergic, French vanilla is her favorite" says Alissa as Jasmine wakes up
"fewo" giggles Anna
"oh my God, you're really here…. Do you like like me?" asks Jasmine nervously
"ves me do berry mooch" says Anna hugging Jasmine tight
"awww… ok doc am I stable enough to go home with them" asks Jasmine
"how's your vision today" asks Francesca
"about the same, maybe a little better, still a little fuzzy but I can make out your shape but it's not defined" says Jasmine
"that's a little worse than yesterday, by any chance did you used to wear glasses" asks Kenny
"yeah but not for a year before I was stolen" says Jasmine
"trauma can play tricks on the brain, even more so when you are in a coma for a length of time after without time to adjust, how long has she been awake" says Cassandra
"four days, but she's been in and out of the coma for the past two months" says Doctor Kenny
"she must have an un-diagnosed medication intolerance disorder, I'll do some blood draws when she's comfortable at home and drop off the samples after so you can do the tests, no need to keep her here" states Cassandra
"fair enough, is there enough space at the Vega household for them" asks Francesca
"they recently put in a two room addition so yes there is just enough room, I'm setting something up in the garage for my medical stuff so I have a place to take the blood and stuff" says Cassandra
At home
"oh my God Jasmine and Anna are adorable, wait is Jasmine…. African American" exclaims Jade
"no she's a second generation Argentinian-American, she just tans easily, where's Tori, she said she was gonna talk to Anna about trauma and how to work through it, also by the way Erica like Trina to Tori isn't Sabrina's blood sister, they aren't even closely related at all, I think Erica's mom died at birth" says Cassandra
"tor bearie had the eye twitches again and you weren't here to keep her calm so she had Becca drive her to the hospital" says Cat
"I'm her live in doctor not her girlfriend, I do have other jobs to do, I don't know everything so chances are she might actually get somewhere where it doesn't scare her or they fix it" says Cassandra
