Med Bay: Part Two

[cityship]

With the end of Quarantine, all of the patients who'd been kept in the bubbles had been released (with the exception of those that Medical felt weren't safe to release), and brought back to the Med Bay proper. Some of them might leave, with family or friends to look after them, but others might remain in the Med Bay. Others still were only just arriving, their loss of time not discovered until after Quarantine had ended.

But regardless of whether the affected were staying in the Med Bay or leaving, until this crisis was solved, Medical would continue to check up on the them.

Oh! Miranda had a pair! She placed the two sevens down, inadvertently flashing her cards in the process.

"Then they're just like...normal humans?" Miranda asked, feeling concerned. That made them sound more like akuma, not less. Except no powers? At all? And Rory's next statement had struck Miranda as odd, too... "Why would...um...you know..." (Miranda blushed red, oh god she couldn't believe that she was talking about puberty with a man...) "have anything to do with powers?"

Rory glanced at Sakura, quietly shaking his head.

"Have you got any twos, Sakura?"

He studied his cards, frowning faintly. "Just like normal humans. They could do about as much damage as a human, depending on the weapons they have. As far as I know, neither has done anything to hurt the ship." He glanced up, relaxed. It was a medical issue, not a personal one. "Ah, yeah. According to Dr. Hussain, because of the flood of hormones, many powers activate with the onset of puberty. Therefore, when some of them start aging bellow that marker, we might not have to worry about it anymore. It won't work in every instance, but I'll keep my fingers crossed."

"Go fish," she said, belatedly laying down a pair of nines. For some reason she'd thought she needed all four! His shake of the head kept her silent, even in response to the information on mutant abilities. At least she suspected it might be tied in, with how Faiza had asked Sakura if she was mutant months ago in the pod caverns.

Miranda looked down at her own cards and blinked. Oh! She had a two - but did that mean she should ask Rory for it? Or would that be rude? She bit her lip nervously. What she should do? If she didn't get more pairs, she would fail at the game, but if she went and asked for a two so soon after Rory had asked for one he and Sakura might be angry at her...

She darted a worried look at Rory. "I...um...I..." she said, so wracked by indecision that she ended up not deciding anything.
