Her hands are still ruined. Every time she looks at them and tries to summon the strength to force herself to heal the blackened skin, Phoenix's words burn to life in her mind: WEAK. Even now, with her arms wrapped from the elbows down in clean, white bandages, the wounds hidden from view, she can still hear it. The furrows she dug into her own face are scarring as well; ragged, pale scars, thin lines tracing their way across her cheekbones, along the edge of her jaw. She hasn't done anything about those either.
The Initiative doctors had been wary of tending to her at all--her healing factor is in her file, and more importantly, most of them have seen it in action in the field--but they had done their job with clinical, professional precision, and then handed her off to their boss. Psychic attacks are not their forte, apparently, and the nurse who had ushered her in had informed her she was due for a neurological exam.
Thalia would honestly appreciate some neurological damage, at this point. That would be something concrete she could handle, instead of overwhelming memories and the sinking feeling that Phoenix has just tipped her over the edge for good, rendered her useless.
She sits on the examination table and swings her legs idly, waiting for Dr. Maddison to appear.

[attr="class","hotdcon"]
Thalia de Luca. 27. Female. Psychic abilities including regeneration, telekinesis, and augmented physical performance. Experienced a strong psychic attack during a confrontation involving the Phoenix Force. Neurological damage suspected.
(Sometimes, Reuben missed the days where his cases were more along the lines of unexplained twitches than extrasensory perception)
The first sign of his arrival is probably his worrying thoughts from down the hall. This was much, much better suited for one of those magic doctors, but he was the best the Initiative had at that moment. The familiar pressure of a high profile case weighs comfortably on his shoulders.
He reaches out to swipe his ID and hit the switch. The mechanisms make an audible click before the door opens itself, and Doctor Maddison rolls in.
”Good afternoon, Miss Thalia,” he greets, the tone he uses with patients much more professional than the one he uses with anyone else. He places the tablet with the case summary and his “WORLD’S OKAYEST DAD” mug on the counter before turning the chair in place. His hand twitches, like he wants to shake her hand, but the bandages dissuade him. He gives a polite nod instead.
She shouldn’t look like hell, he thinks. She should’ve been able to heal those scars away, same with what was under those bandages. He leans forward, and purses his lips.
”I’m not going to ask how you are,” he says, ”because after all that, anybody would be shaken up. You did good, though. Everybody out there did.” He gives a little proud smile to try and lighten the mood. ”Instead, could you tell me how you want to be feeling? That’ll give any treatment plan we come up with along the way a nice goal other than ‘stop feeling like shit’.”
