Chapter 12 Healed

"What is this," Claire said

She has been staring at the monitors for hours, not even blinking, which she can do. She sees something otherworldly. Moving the holographic screens to see the x-ray, Claire stops. The X-ray showed something off.

"His... His ribs are healed fully? His ribs shouldn't be healed until three weeks from now." Claire said

The scan shows her the before and after. It's only been two days after the.... event, Judy does her job in the Senate well, but when she's done with work for the day... Claire notices her developing a sadness come over her once in a while. Eurus, the poor boy, hasn't woken up yet, which is starting to concern both her and Judy. Shai eats and then goes to check on him. She spends most of her time going to the library, grabbing a book, and then coming back to read, sometimes, you can hear her read to him. Claire records them and leaves them in her hard drive,

"It's unheard of," Claire mutter

"Sorry, I didn't think I was interrupting you," Shai said

Claire felt her gut drop after hearing Shai's voice, Claire turned to Shai, who was leaning on the door frame with her book under her arm, staring at her,

"How long have you been there, if I may ask?" Claire said

"Only as long as you've been looking at that x-ray," Shai told her

Shai moves over to where Eurus still lays, the blood cleaned from him, the bruises barely noticeable. She smiles, sits on the chair next to the bed, opens her book, and starts to read, Claire watches her telling the story to Eurus. Claire turns back to the X-ray, noticing that it's not there anymore. she turns to Shai, who is holding it,

"What's this?" Shai asked curiously,

"I don't have a clue. I'm going to search to find something like it... I'm not sure it will be successful," Claire said

Shai glances at Claire before putting her eyes back on the holographic screen. The image is familiar to her... She can't explain what it is. The color shouldn't be on the X-ray. It's weird, to say the least of it. The color was gold with hints of other colors in it, but most of the color was near some on his chest and stomach.

"It's weird, isn't it," Claire said

Shai nodded in agreement and asked,

"Would you like some help with this?"

Claire nods her head,

"I would like that very much," Claire said

"Judy, do you have the documents to show this?" The chairwoman asked

"Yes, I do miss chairwomen, I have shown you over the past couple of hearings what has happened with the Internet. The AI was the problem, it had been lost on our electrical grid. It has the internet as it is power and home. I have the research and documents right in my hands," Judy said

Her hand lifts the papers, and the holographic documents start to download to them. She puts the papers in front of her, flips through the papers, and speaks,

"This is what the head of Open for the World Foundation said, and I quote,"

"There is too much human waste in the world, that simply needs to go, but that is for another time," Judy continued

"Is that all, Senator?" The chairwoman asked

"No, there's more if I can miss chairwoman," Judy asked

The chairwoman tells Judy that she may speak, giving more time for her to show her evidence and answer questions from her coworkers,"

"Hears another quote from the same man,"

"I think there is a need for an upcoming cyber attack to hit the power grid and turn off the power," Judy said

Judy turns to the other page before looking up at them, She sees their faces. most shows spooked to troubled, but there are a few of them. That is disinterested or in disbelief of what she explained,

"Does anyone want to ask anything?" Judy asked

"Yes, I do if you may madam chair," a senator from Massachusetts asked

The chairwoman lets her go forward, which she takes.

"Now Miss Diamond, do you believe what you are saying is politically wrong, and know that all you are showing us is garbage? I, for one, want you to tell me this. Why would you believe such a thing as this?" She asked

Judy stared at her before answering,

"Cause it's in the documents since the 2000s some in 1970 too. I gave you these, I talked to your secretary but you didn't want them. You told her to get me off the phone, but here I am still hammering this information till we put something through, but here's my question. Explain to me how I'm wrong and the rest of the Senate, please do,"

She stayed there staring at Judy, before letting out a few laughs in disbelief,

"Well, for starters, that doesn't have any basis in society, and why would a millionaire want to destroy what helps him build his company?"

Judy stared at her, saying,

"Why wouldn't he want to? He thinks that he and the people who work with him are elite. They want it anymore. They have the money from what they did, Why wouldn't he want to destroy what he made to kill off the population that he thinks is useless, it's in his documents where he says it, so why wouldn't he go for it when we don't stop just him? it's a whole group," Judy asked

The Senator stopped and just stared elsewhere, the chairwoman thanked Judy for her work, before going to the next senator, Judy stayed there to listen to them and their points, the session ended the Senate line went quiet, before turning off,

"Misstress, you have an interview in an hour. You must get ready," Claire said

Claire glances at the articles and documents on her desk, some on the floor next to her in stacks, Judy reading some of them looks up at Claire with a bright smile and says,

"Indeed I do. Is everything set up?"

"Yes, all you have to do is that mistress is speaking your mind, and what you know is true," Claire said

Judy got up from her chair, walked over to her, held her hand,

"It's not about me. it's about the people and their beliefs. What they want for this country. I'm just there to work for them," Judy said

Claire gave her a grin at her,

"Yes, you do... Let's get you ready, mistress," Claire said

She moves out of Judy's way, Judy notices that something isn't right with Claire,

"What's wrong, Claire? You give me some kind of witty remark. I get you to have a new body to deal with amongst other things, but I'm here for you if you ever need to talk," Judy said

Claire frowned. She felt emptiness for a while, being in this new environment with this body. How did she get it, or what would happen if I broke it? Will Heman change her mind and meld it into something of a servant for his bidding? Claire glances at Judy, seeing her stare back at her with concern,

"I have been feeling things that I shouldn't have... when I was just a hologram, I just did what you asked, and I do have human feelings, I have never felt this strong or emotional before. I'm just trying to adjust to it," Claire explained

Jane sighed and said,

"My friend, you always had emotions... It is just amplified by the... I don't want to say magic but what other answers do I have, like you I know you have had a human spirit that shows kindness and joyfulness, I programmed a mother's love onto your mainboard, and I wanted that to be your main personality... So when I went out for anything political or my job, you were there for Eurus when I couldn't."

The room turned quiet. Judy felt as if she offended Claire and was about to shout out apologies, Claire smiled at this.

"Don't worry, mistress," Claire said

Claire pulled Judy into her embrace and held her tightly, Judy was shocked at how warm Claire was, she melted into her hug,

"I saw things and heard things that happen when you went to work... Sometimes, you can't hide your vision of the evils of this world. for it is wrong and unjustified... The crime, the murder, for such little richest. The hidden agendas that should never happen are something no person should have to see, but... We have to deal with it," Claire said

Judy moves out of the hug and stares at her, asking her,

"Indeed, there has to be a good that combats evil. but I don't think that me,"

"Did I ever say that it was you? I don't think it did... There are always more people to see that evil and combat it," Claire said

"Yes, there are always people fighting each other, but there's always hope, isn't there?" Judy said

"I've..." Claire said

The alarm from the lab went off getting their attention, Claire looked at Judy, who nodded and ran to the lab, Claire quickly followed her running behind her,

"Eurus!" Judy yelled

She opened the door and looked at the scene in front of her. Shai is sleeping on Eurus's chest with her hands on his rib cage... She's sleeping, but. How odd that her hands are scratched and bleeding, but her face is clean and unharmed.

Claire moves past her to get near Shai and checks her hands, then scans them to find four of them broken,

"Judy?" Claire said

Judy is still wondering what happened to her nephew, walks over to Claire, and says,

"How did this happen?"

"I have no clue. but four of her five fingers are broken. She has no other harm has been done to her," Claire told her

Judy stayed quiet. Going through all the other possibilities that might have happened here, how did she get hurt, but Eurus is unblemished... It's odd how... Judy finally has the idea and moves over to the tablet, next to Eurus,

"Mistress?" Claire questioned

Pull up the x-ray asking Claire to move Shai off of him, Claire moves her hand under Shai and moves her onto the wall, hoping she won't wake up, she just slumps down and then lays her head on her arms still sleeping, Claire tells Judy.

"It's done. The scan is almost complete. May I ask? Why do you want to scan his ribs, it's healing faster than they should, but I don't think that is a bad thing,"

Judy stayed still looking at the results of the x-ray, and asked Claire.

"How much time has Shai been with Eurus?"

"She has been here the most. If anything she even comes to read to

him," Claire said

Claire walks up to Judy and tries to say something, Judy grabs Claire and moves her to see the X-ray, shocking her to the core. How can this be possible? It can't be that. It's not supposed to heal that quickly unless,

"It's fully healed,"
