The Welcoming

chapt. 13 Jordans p.o.v

I looked at the door remembering all the times before I had to go through this with her. I went in as she followed. While we were going in the body room she caught a glimpse of herself before the change.

I took a mental picture as well but I couldn't tell her that. I set up the transfer bath and told her to get in. As she laid down there I wanted to caress her one more time. Like old times.

But I knew that would be a deadly decision.

I put her under typing in all the features niveah wanted her to have. I couldnt add powers because she still had hers from before but she doesnt know it.

I noticed her pressure and heart-rate started to increase. I had to calm her.

I used my microphone to talk to her. I remembered I put a hearing device in her ear before I put her under so I prayed she could hear me.

I spoke to her softly for the first time in a while. I wondered if she remembered our nights away. But then I remembered theres no way she could.... I continued.

"Open your eyes." I didnt know that one sentence would set her off. That must be apart of the new her.

I ran to her side worried and scared and snatched her out the water.

I held her tight telling her it was ok. All I could think was I was going to protect her no matter what. I didnt want to let go. I wanted to hold this moment to my heart forever.

My emotions took control. I let her go and got her a towel helping her out. I had to detach. It was the only way to keep her safe... or is it?

I took her to the cafeteria so she could eat and I could handle a mission. I knew she was going to make friends so I wasnt worried. She always does on her first day.
