Standing in the gel-lined container with an audience was a little weird, but the tall woman executing the exam was encouraging. “Breathe, Tiera MacKenzie. We need regular baselines.”
“I will breathe if Tonos gets whatever shot he needs. I am not going to give you a baseline until he calms down and his wings are no longer deadly.”
Tonos flicked his wings out. “No. I don’t want it to stop.”
“Fine, don’t stop it, but slow it down. I am not going anywhere for a while.”
His wings shifted and made the sound of steel sliding on steel.
She crossed her arms from within the safety of the scanner. “I am not getting out of here unless you take that shot or supplement or whatever.”
The giantess moved to a cabinet and prepared something that looked like a gun. “I will administer the shot now, Tonos, if you are willing.”
From within the capsule, Tiera focussed her peculiar talent on Tonos, and he nodded. “I will take the shot.”
When Dr. Meevin moved and gave Tonos the shot, Rothaway reached out to catch him. His wings quivered, and they began to return to normal.
Tiera nodded and leaned back to begin her scans. She made herself feel as normal as she could and relaxed into the embrace of the gel.
It took less than ten minutes for the scanners to chirp and the machine to right itself and release her.
Dr. Meevin was stunned, “We have never seen a psychic talent of this nature. You can actually force people around to your way of thinking.”
Tiera grinned, “It has been very handy in dealing with weddings. I can use my thoughts to bully folks into doing what I want. It isn’t subtle or graceful, but it gets the job done.”
Dr. Meevin shook her head. “This changes everything about your stay here, as well as your interaction with Tonos. It was no wonder he fell for you, you radiate power, my dear.”
Ziggy grinned, “I told you so.”
Tiera exited the pod and walked back into the main area of medical, cautiously approaching Tonos.
Rothaway stopped her. “It would be best if you didn’t touch him again, not until he is in complete control of himself.”
“Um, what next?”
Ziggy took her arm. “I take you back to your quarters and get you tucked in, and then, we try and figure this out in the morning.”
“The morning sounds non-threatening. Let’s try that.” She yawned and was only too happy to have her friend escort her to her quarters.
Tonos was sitting up, and he smiled and waved farewell as they left him with Rothaway.
“Will he be okay?”
Ziggy sighed. “He will be fine. Rothaway went through five years of the suppressing agent after all. He came through it okay.”
Tiera let her friend rush her out of medical and down the hall. Rothaway would take care of Tonos.
