ooc futurestuff, random babble, feel free to tell me to stow it
Sooraya will be unbound sometime in late August, and she'll go home then for a while. Meantime, she'll work on her training, may or may not apply for Security(she wants to, I'm ambivalent on the idea. Meh.)
Something she's going to discover, in the future, is that her ability to change forms also has a crucial vulnerability now that she's adult: she can't be permanently away from a living, Earth type world. Separation will weaken her, and eventually start causing her real problems. She's okay at Milliways for another couple months, but she'll have to make sure never to get stuck there nonstop for a really extended period of time.
She'll recover physically and mentally from her Infirmary stint, if scarred. She'll always have to keep an eye out for a possible recurrence, and her vision will not return to 100% normal. She'll have to work out solutions to diminished vision in that right eye, and ways to fight (and keep the Bad Guys from noticing she's got a problem.)
Marvel's never fleshed out how her powers work, so this may wind up "jossed". I'm classifying her powers as being a form of dimensional 'shift' between bodies rather than shapechanging a la lycanthropes. If you think about it, this makes a lot more sense (okay, yes, I know. Marvel. Sense.
The words don't go together well, but...) than shapeshifting. She shouldn't still have injuries after a shift, (if it worked the way, the Wells pack's do,) and I'm saying that she does. Mainly 'cause OOCly, I don't like the idea of her being that powerful or hard to injure permanently.
The whole business of her having an aneurysm and recovery afterward, ties into something she says to people later; that the X-Men in her reality have to change, to adapt. While there are healers and medics in her world, I prefer not to mention them in her journal because 'zapping' away injuries or illness is the lazy way out. (and ICly, if she suddenly turns up at the Institute infirmary with new scars or post surgery alterations, she's going to have a hell of a lot of explaining to do.) She's learning now what it's like to have to recover from a serious illness, and it's something that'll be an advantage to her and her team later on.
Trust, too, has been an ongoing flaw of hers. She's had precious little reason to think that people mean her well, except for other mutants, prior to coming to Milliways. Putting her safety in Muldoon's hands, or Kevin's, was
an important step, if not as overt as some things might be.
While she's not a leader, she's not going to be content to be led as she has been in the past.
