“Full extension on your right wing please, Allison.”

The fledgling stood against the blank wall of the Hub, her arms straight out and hands pressed into it. The wing unfurled while Jays picked up the tape measure. “Here, Jack. Since you’re here, you can help me.”

He handed one end to the other doctor and had him hold the pivot point at the ball joint of the wing so he could measure along each strut. He jotted them down on her chart.

“Looks like she’s reached full growth,” Jack said.

“Just about, I’d say. Other wing, Allison.” They repeated the procedure on the other side. “I still don’t like it, Jack.”

The other doctor shrugged and continued to hold the point. “Sorry, Jays. But it’ll work. You’ll see. My transfer is complete in two more days. Neither you nor Ian has managed to get anyone in. We can’t let this opportunity pass by.”

Still not liking it, but knowing Jack was right, Jays finished her measurements and patted her wing. She folded it closed and turned around.

“All right, have a seat at the desk and let’s go through your hearing.” They all moved over to the island, and he got her set up with the headphones, turning the machine on. While she listened and pushed buttons, he turned back to Jack. “What do you have left today?”

“I have Third Flight exams. I finished the first wing this morning, so I just have their second wing to do still; so five more weekly physicals.”

“Good luck with Aiden. He’s been extremely teenagerish lately.”

“Great. I haven’t dealt with Third Flight in a couple of months.” Jack crossed his arms and leaned into the desk. “Sorry to leave you shorthanded like this, Jays.”

“Can’t be helped. And with Michael being gone so much this week, it’s not going to seem much different.” He smiled at Jack to let him know he was joking.

He snorted. “True. The little prick. Sorry to leave you with him too. But thanks for the help this week. There’s no way I would have gotten through all five Flights’ physicals and their phys-ex tests by myself.”

“No problem. I just have Chris’s physical to do, then I’m done with First Flight. The rest of the afternoon I’ll be in the gym with Second Flight doing their physical exertion tests.”

“I’m done, Jays,” Allison’s tired voice interrupted.

“You ok, Allison? You seem awfully quiet today,” Jack asked.

She rubbed between her eyes. “I’m just feeling really drained. Don’t know.”

He shared a look with Jack then asked her, “How’s your appetite?”

“Actually, I’m starving. I was going to ask if I could have a snack after we were done?”

“No problem. I’ll make sure you get plenty to eat.” He looked up at the sound of the doors opening and watched Chris walk in. “I left your change of clothes in one of the shower stalls, Allison, so why don’t you go get a shower, and when you’re done, the food will be here.”

“All right.”

He waited until she had crossed the Hub and the door to the bathrooms had shut before he spoke to Chris.
