Rest and Recovery at the X-Mansion

[alisa_lebeau_v3]

Alisa groaned as she finally came to. She was out of her tactical suit and in a hospital gown, a sign she was in a medical facility, no doubt. She hissed as she tried to sit herself up, feeling some stitches in her side from where she was stabbed starting to tug just slightly.She also noted a lack of feeling in her right leg, right below the knee. She threw her blankets off, noting her leg was in a cast, and there were some scars on her right thigh as well. This just made her frown, before looking around the room and seeing Alisatire was in a bed next to her.

"Oh no... Boss. You did get injured!? I am so sorry... I shoulda done bettah, I failed you..."

Alisa threw back the blankets of the medical bed she was in to show her leg was pretty much wrapped up and put into a cast below the knee. Her toes which poked out of the cast were a bit discolored, which was what led her to concern.

"I haven' lost my leg, yet. But I know it's gonna 'appen. I got no feelin' in anyt'ing below my knee. Doesn' take a genius like me to know dat it's not salvageable. I'll be askin' Dr. McCoy to amputate my leg later tonight. De discoloration 'as me worried, an' I'm in no shape to fight off a massive infection." She then pulled the blankets back over her frame. "An' it was nuthin' , really. I swore to protect your nephew's life at any cost."

What Stephanie offered her had Alisa somewhat floored. She did not think the Shaw's owed her anything. "I t'ank you for your generosity, Miss Stephanie, ma'am. I'm considerin' usin' a blade prosthetic before upgradin' to somet'ing cybernetic. I need to get use to... well... usin' a prosthetic before I cna decide on what a cybernetic one should look like an' feel like for me. Heh... look at me, I sound like I'm talkin' about shoes. Actually, dis will make shoe shoppin' easier an' cheaper. I'll only need one."

It was a terrible joke, but with all the physical and emotional pain Alisa was going through, it was better to laugh than to cry.

"You'll receive the best care money and connections can by." Alistaire says. "When all is said and done, you'll be even more formidable than you were to start."

He gives a discrete nod to Stephanie regarding details of the raid. "Of course. For now, could you be a dear, Auntie, and get my Knight a phone? She has someone she needs to reach."

Stephanie handed Alisa the phone, but she gave Alistaire a little look as she did so. Perhaps she'd brought it upon herself, calling him "Alice" as he so occasionally did, but she did not particularly feel like being denigrated at the moment.

"As it would so happen, the best that money and connections could get you, would be from Shaw Industries. I'll speak to Mr. Crane on the board about approving you for the new model leg prosthetic. The sooner we can get it fitted on you, the better. I trust Dr. McCoy will do well enough preserving nerve endings so everything will be completely successful."

"T'ank you, Miss Stephanie, ma'am. An' i am sure Doctor McCoy is an excellent medical professional. Dis should go over well." Alisa accepted the phone and carefully used it to dial Ryan, hoping she could at least get him on the phone. "I look forward to 'elpin' out Shaw Industries by testin' out dis new leg."

Alisa then went silent, just listening to the phone ring, wondering and hoping Ryan would answer. He might not as it was a strange number.
