She is hurt but she is herself

Karen slowly came around, her throat was sore and as she looked around and saw John she found she could say nothing. Her mouth opened in vain.

“Karen,” the sense gravitas and authority in his voice shook her to the core. John looked her in the eyes, “I need you to tell me what just happened.”

She thought back over the last things she remembered. “oH gOd, I’m SoRrY.” She croaked as she began to regain her voice. She couldn’t believe herself, how her anger had just come out of no where. “John, I don’t know what came over me, I just suddenly felt this uncontrollable anger.”

John sat and thought for moment. “If we take her to the hospital I think any women she comes around might feel the same.”

“huh?” she asked.

“Well, I didn’t feel any aggression around her. So I am assuming you are not psychotic and that the Sekhmetanen has some side affect that made you lose it.” Karen blushed and nodded. “I need you to go to school and get all your notes on stuff. I shall stay and take care of Rachel, Agreed?”

“Yeah, okay, your right, John,” Karen answered. “Wait, if you go to the hospital? Why would you need to?”

“I busted my shoulder pretty bad getting.”

“Oh, God I am, sorry!”

John shook his head, “Not your fault, you weren’t yourself, right?”

“Right,” she said more trying to assure herself.

Karen looked at his shoulder, it was hanging loose at his side. “John, let me have a look at it.” She walked over to him. She was wholly changed again, she was herself. Karen slowly pulled his shirt over his head. John whole shoulder was a giant bruise. It was swollen and black. “Oh God,” she gasped. “You have to…”

“NO!” John commanded. “You have to find a cure, before she becomes a government lab rat. If what happened to your rats is happening to her just think of the montrous super soldier programs they would devise. We have to keep this a secret and we have to cure it now.”

“But your shoulder, John, we have to do something.” Karen pleaded.

“No, I can take care of it and Rachel, just get to school before you are late. Remember at most we have a week before her parents get home.” His eyes left no question to what was the right course of action.

Karen kissed him maternally on the forehead, “You are braver than I’d have ever imagined.” She hurried out of the room before he could say anything.
