Right before landing at HQ

"Valerie!", she heard voices say her name.

Groggily, she slowly opened her eyes. She noticed the sky was blue now, and the weather much warmer. She no longer felt the biting cold that threatened to freeze her.

She found herself lying on her stomach on the helicopter floor. Her entire body ached, the metal feeling especially cold against her bare skin. She remembered that she had given her suit to Eva - she was completely nude except for the sheer stockings up to her mid thigh.

As she sat up, she felt sticky liquid dribble down between her thighs, causing her to shiver slightly. She saw Hawk and Eva looking at her.

"Thank god you're awake!", exclaimed Eva. Hawk smiled warmly, clearly relieved that she was all right.

"Ugh.", she groaned. "Where are we?"

"Almost at HQ.", replied Hawk. "5 minutes to land, tops."

A bit of concern rose within her mind. Did she have something to wear before they landed?

However, before she could verbalize it, her thought was interrupted by a grateful Eva. "Hawk told me that you gave me your suit to save my life, even if it risked yours. I owe you my life."

"I'm just happy you're okay.", she smiled back. "I hope you're not feeling too bad after...what happened."

Eva's face turned into a mixture of embarrassment and confusion. "I-I don't know what to think about it. The serum, it - it woke something inside me that I didn't know existed."She blushed, looking unsure of her words and almost...guilty?

"It's okay.", Valerie smiled. "We'll give you some time off to recuperate. It's important to not let it bother you. You have a promising career ahead of you, agent."

Eva beamed at her words, thanking her profusely and complimenting how she had handled the mission. She almost had to interrupt her once they started losing altitude.

"Um, does anyone have something I can wear?", she said, her upper body turning red.

Eva looked down, shaking her head. Her suit was barely hanging on, a liberal amount of tape being the only thing keeping it hanging on her body. Without any other equipment, she was in no shape to help her.

Valerie looked at Hawk, who smiled. He took out the roll of tape he had used to great effect on the mission.

"Well, this roll is almost finished.", he said slyly. "But I think I can do something with what's left."
