-----------------------------

Dr. Astor was able to stabilize Cassie’s condition.

Over the first hurdle, they began a series of out-interviews, trying to figure out what Cassie was going to do next, and how to best manage her new abilities.

Fortunately, Dr. Hes has had some experience after what her sister, Izzy, and Alex had already went through.

[Isis and Alex were actually the ones who refurbished the old NSI medical bays, when Alex needed emergency care, after the explosion. (This came up in I.D. Tag. )]

---------------------

Previously:

Cassie Greenaway was a Grad Student, , who was transformed, after her organic research samples, for her work on Companion Planting, specifically The “Three Sisters” were contaminated with Genetic Modified Viruses, from someone sabotaging her work.

Incensed, when Cassie saw the UN Delegates dithering over protecting drinking water, air, and food, she appeared and disappeared suddenly at the UN, warning the delegates to act on, without further delays;

She warned them to “Beware The Windigo”: the spirit of greed that was consuming and polluting the natural resources of the entire world, stealing from the future.

When video clips from Security Cameras and people’s phones, of the incident, were broadcast in the media. they dubbed her “The Windigo”.

---------------

Exhausted after this, Cassie went to see her Aunt, Dr. Carol, a Naturopathic Doctor, and her Grandmother, Emily; and, they asked Dr. Hes Astor, an Immunologist and the Director of the Nova Clinic, to help out.

And, that’s how she came to be in Dr. Hes’ office now.

“Well, Cassie, your condition is definitely improving,” Dr. Astor said, indicating the latest round of tests, on her tablet.

“Yes?” Cassie nodded. “Well enough to want to get out of here?” She asked.

The Doctor smiled, “Perhaps. I’d like-“.

“To run a few more tests?” Cassie interrupted.

“Yes,” Dr. Hes admitted.

“And, where do I go from there?” Cassie asked.

“That depends, what do you want to do?”

“I want my old life back; but, that’s going to happen. Is it?” Cassie pressed, frustrated.

“Things have changed, a lot, I mean, you’ve changed,” The Doctor said.

“I’m GREEN! “ Cassie said, pointing at herself. “Look at me!”

“Yes, there’s that,” Dr. Hes admitted. “There are a few things we could try to work around that,” she said. “But, I’d rather you take your There’s so much we don’t know.”

“I don’t even look like myself, anymore,” Cassie sighed. “I’m a monster.” She muttered under her breathe.

“You’re not the first one to say that in here,” Dr. Hes said ruefully.

“Alex?” Cassie asked.

“Yes,” Dr. Hes nodded. “Well, you know most of that story,” she concluded.

“Just what was in the media,” Cassie said.

“Well, they didn’t get everything wrong, as my sister, Izzy would say,” Dr. Hes shook her head. “Even a broken clock is right, twice a day.”

 “Just give yourself some time.” She urged her.

“I don’t have much of a choice. Do I?” Cassie said.

 “Try to be patient,” Dr. Hes said. “I have to see another patient,” she told her.

“I’ll try,” Cassie sighed.

They talked about a few other things. Then, before Dr. Hes left, she paused at the door. “Besides would you really want to go back, knowing what you know now?” She asked.

Cassie raised an eyebrow, “Wouldn’t I? How do I live, knowing the future is being poisoned?”

“It might give you a certain impetuous,” Doctor Hes said.

“Take your time, “ she said, closing the door behind her. “But, don’t take too long.”

Listening to:

Being a Mutant myself, it’s too bad there isn’t a Xavier Academy.

Actually, nature is all about balance; so, it seemed likely Elsa’s sister would have ‘heat’ powers, to balance her sibling’s ‘cold’.

----------------------------

Unfortunately, a mutation that makes it hard to breathe, and particularly susceptible to particulates, pollution, pesticides, chemical solutions, and solvents, seems as likely to be a successful adaptation in this world, apparently hostile to the natural world and addicted to synthetic scents and solvents as a chipmunk with narcolepsy.

Maybe there’s a better world to come. Let’s hope so.

Notes:

Amelia Hill, the ‘Bubble Girl’, from Australia, has been building a small house, to accommodate her disabilities and Multiple Chemical Sensitivities MCS, chronicled at Heal Amelia's Life.

Amelia’s friends and family have started a fundraising page to help cover additional medical treatments, as her health has deteriorated recently, GoFundMe: AmazingAmeliaHill

-----------------------------

Marie LeBlanc, a photographer from Winnipeg, who has documented her struggles with disabilities and MCS has been without a place to live; and, has started crowdfunding for a caravan to live and work from, at EndangeredHumanyoucaring.

------------------------------

I will soon be unable to afford a place to live, or my medical expenses, which is is unfortunate. Breathing is an every increasing ‘luxury’ apparently.

 Seriously "Sensitive" to Pollution, documents some of the issues facing people with Environmental Illness, or allergies and Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, MCS.

-----------------------------

I’m trying to figure out how to spin Milkweed into gold, to build a healthy place to live myself. Wish me luck.

Jesus of Nazareth said that they’re building mansions in heaven; but, where are they going to get the contractors?
