“What was that?  What did I just see?  It wasn’t a dream.  It wasn’t what you described.”

“Roughly half of my customers ask questions similar to yours after they’ve transitioned.  I always say the same thing.  I don’t know.”

I’m pretty certain she’s telling the truth.

Even in the daze she was in, Jamie’s instincts told her the Doctor was lying.

Wait, what?

Hm, I suppose they learn some things doing this.

“I expect you’ll retain the memory better if you don’t try too hard to hold onto it.”

Dandelions: “Oh wait, you’re still remembering it? Let’s fix that…”

The strange things she had seen didn’t seem to matter anymore.  “Did I… change?  Is my body different?”

“You glowed briefly, but that passed.  You look the same as you did.”

Glowing, huh?

Jamie nodded, too worn out to feel relieved.

“I’m going to leave, now, for my own safety.  I recommend sitting and resting before anything else.

Yeeah, if she did get a power, there’s a good chance it’s going to go haywire soon.

When you’re prepared, stand and see what you can do to exercise your new abilities.”

The doctor was halfway to the door when Jamie shifted her position and prepared to climb into the chair.  Relief was surging through her.  She hadn’t become a monster.

Not physically, at the very least, and she seems fine psychologically.

She hadn’t lost her mind.  This was for real.  What she had seen, it was too profound to mean anything else.  Even a hit of LSD wouldn’t have given her visions as clear as that.  Not that she’d done LSD.

This is a different kind of LSD. Legitimately Superpowered Drink.
