They're tryin' to make me go to rehab... I said no, no, no.

[satsukicksass]

Who: Satsu, OT Jocelyn, Dot, and Carly
Where: OSI Gymnasium
When: Tuesday morning

Injuries happened. Satsu knew that. Part of the job description, one might say. But still... Satsu was the epitome of tough. She hated the idea of  physical rehab, of someone having to HELP her get back to normal. It made her feel like she was less of a warrior than her

Dot stifled a yawn. She hadn't wanted to be up this early today, but she'd made an agreement. Besides, she found that movement helped keep her awake, so that was something. She was in the middle of a stretch when she heard Satsu, and nearly gave herself whiplash turning her head to look.

"Ooh, look who finally broke out of the hospital! You might wanna consider checking yourself back in when you're done. It's no picnic in here!" She had to raise her voice a little, but that was okay.

Still, she couldn't help but grin. Dashing across the mats in her stockinged feet, she skidded to a stop and hugged Satsu, very gently.

"It's so good to see you out and around!"

Satsu offered a sweet, if forced, smile to Dot. She may not want to be here, but hey, if nothing else, at least she got to see her girlfriend.

"Thanks, sweetie. I'd rather be back, training with the others, but at least I get to work out with you for a while. Kinda takes the sting outta feeling like a loser."

She kissed Dot cutely on the forehead, winking to her.

"Pssh. I know it's no fun, but this is what you've gotta do. Besides, don't you want to be able to wow 'em when you do come back?"

Dot smiled. "And, it's not really me you'll be working with. I am small and puny. I think, even now, that you'll need to work with someone else that can challenge you. Plus I'm not licenced and I don't want to go to jail!"

"Well, I can't speak for my body, but mentally, I've been ready since the day it happened."

Satsu grinned sheepishly and shook Jocelyn's hand.

"So what's on the agenda?"

"Morning, everyone!"

Dear sweet god... even at this hour, Dr. McDonald was cheery and happy. Someone once sarcastically said that a bullet couldn't take that smile off her face, and days like this? It was hard to argue that.

"Jocelyn! Thank you so much for letting me help out here. Due to the severity of her injury, it's probably good to have a doctor onhand, at least for the first few days."

[satsukicksass]

"Alright then..."

Satsu couldn't help but frown a little. She knew she was still too stitched up and sore to be able to throw punches or kicks, so this was going to have to be very basic stretching and exercising.

"Doc? What should I do first?"

[carlymcdonald]

"Well, the wound to your stomach is healing faster than I thought it would, but the muscle damage is still going to take a lot of work to repair. So, for today? Jocelyn can run you through some basic stuff, like small stretches and the like. The most important thing is to work on re-strengthening the stomach muscles without taxing the wounded area."

The young doctor looked to Jocelyn, not wanting to step on anyone's toes.

Dot, for her part, stayed out of the way and quiet while all this was going on. She wasn't going to be much help for this part of it at all, and she knew it.

She settled for an occasional pat of Satsu's shoulder, concentrating instead on moral support. She could do that, at least.
