(This is more on my OC's Kieran and Gia, just a bit about their backstory, go read Test Number #8 for their introduction though!)

"That was probably the worst idea you've ever had... how did it work?"

"Hah, told you I know what I'm doing!" Gia punched the vending machine one more time, knocking down a Dr. Pepper.

"Here you go!"

Kieran thanked her, and the two walked around the lab, bored.

Since being here, for almost two years now, neither were allowed to leave, but neither also really minded. For Gia, home was Kieran's house, and for Kieran, he missed his mom but not her jerk boyfriend, so he was pretty happy staying in the clean lab with the doctors that never yelled at them, (except for Gia scaring people with her wings, but even she admitted that then it was a little fair), their own suites, and always good food. And a bonus, enough money for Kieran's mom to quit three of her jobs, so they were very happy.

Although sometimes they were very bored, in between physical therapy and tests. It had taken a while for the two to get used to their new selves, especially Gia. They walked around the lab wing, talking and sipping their sodas.

"Man, it's almost been two years." Gia was getting reminiscent now.

"Yes, it almost has been. Although do you even remember your first year?"

Gias first year there was a sore subject, but she answered nonetheless, "I mean, I remember the hospital, but for the most part I was unconscious. I do remember when I first saw myself after the procedures. I almost cried when I looked at the wings. They were all scabby and gross at the base, remember?"

Kieran did remember. His adjustments were only on the inside, except for his eye, but that was damaged, so it was just nice to see again. He sometimes worried about his intellect, feared he knew too much, but other than that he really didn't hate his new life. Gia, on the other hand, had major adjustments, and it was awful her first year, remembering all she had gone through. She used to cry every night, lamenting the body and life she had once had. Wanting to feel human again. Even the benefit of flight still made her feel strange. He thought for a moment, then answered her, "Yeah, I remember. You seem better now though. How are you feeling about everything?"

Gia looked to the side. "I don't know. It's weird. I guess maybe I accept it more now, but sometimes I just miss feeling, I don't know, human? Even though my old life really wasn't good, at least I had my humanity."

Kieran knew what she meant. He really did think she had it better here, her old house was awful. "I understand that, but at least now you have your super cool flight abilities, and you can totally beat me up and stuff."

She giggled, "God, Kie don't talk like that you sound like me." She looked over at him, "But thanks, you're right."

She noticed he was finished with his soda, so she grabbed it, crushed the can, and threw it out. She then stole his glasses, and flew up so that he couldn't reach them. He read her mind, something he was able to do but never used for respect of her privacy, but he learned that although she still felt strange about her new self, she knew that as long as she had her best friend, she would be fine.
