Medical miracles.
After much making out in the middle of the battlefield, followed by a night of intense passion back at their apartment (God, she'd missed being alive, not to mention Zach), Mia woke up early the following moment after her return from the grave and made her way to Star City General Hospital. Alive again or not, she was probably still HIV positive and would need to get back on her strict regimen of medication.

There was a lot of explaining to the doctors why someone who had been legally dead for the past few months was suddenly alive and kicking like nothing had happened. Mia filed out some forms for insurance, and then went through a series of various tests to see if everything was in order.

A couple of hours after her tests, the doctor came back into the room, a truly astounded look on his face as he stared at Mia's charts.

"Ms. Dearden, there were some...unusual results in your tests. We'd like to keep you under observation for a few days."

Mia nodded, wondering what could have possibly happened. Had something happened when she came back to trigger her HIV into full-blown AIDS? She didn't want to think about it.

---------
They were calling it a medical miracle. They had run test after test, Mia's arm was sore from having needles poked into it to draw her blood, and she was pretty sure that if they ran another test on her, she'd lose her mind.

The doctors couldn't come up with any other explanation, other than it was a miracle and that she should be very lucky, because "Someone out there was looking out for her".

Mia Dearden was one hundred percent HIV free. She was clean. After all those years, she was free of the virus that she had always known would one day claim her life.

She truly was getting a second chance at life. Not just another ten years, but as many as she could hope for.

Mia left Star City General, a smile on her face. She called Zach and left a message on his voicemail, saying that she was going to take them out for dinner at the best place in town.

She certainly had a lot of reasons to celebrate.

Roy thought about asking Donna to join him and Lian, but Lian would have figured out that Roy was trying to keep an eye on her. Still, he makes sure to keep an eye on her as they enter Mia's building.

Roy smiles as Lian waddles (and yes, she does waddle, a little) up the stairs and he follows her up to make sure that she'll make it without issue.

"Hey, kids." Roy says to her belly, "It's time to go see Aunt Mia! Aunt Mia is very funny. Just don't make any short jokes about her. The women in our family are sensitive about their height...or lack thereof." Roy says.

"Lian, are you sure you can do this? If you're tired or anything, we can go right back home and I'll smooth things over with Mia." Roy says.

	"I'm fine, Dad," Lian said for about the millionth time that day. She understood why her dad was concerned, but he was starting to get a little hovery. They made their way to Mia and Zach's apartment and opened the door, letting themselves in. "Hello everyone!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Roy! Lian!" Mia wrapped them both in a hug. "It's good to see you." Also, Lian had gotten very pregnant in the short time that she had been dead. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Having already greeted Jane, Zach exchanged the token manly handshake and shoulder-check with Roy, and gave Lian a less reserved hug, coming from the side to avoid her stomach. "Thanks for coming." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Connor walked in next holding little Alex. “I hope you don’t mind that I brought Alex,” He said smiling, “I couldn’t find a sitter and I thought it would be nice for him to spend more time with the family.” (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Roy shakes Zach's hand and grins. He likes Zach on his own merits, and more so because he makes Mia happy. That's really the most Roy can ask for for his adopted sister.

"Good to see you, man." Roy nods, before his eyes settle on Jane Doe-Smith. He should have realized she'd be here. While Zach greets Lian, Roy makes his way toward Jane.

"Hey, Jane, glad to see you." Roy says.

"Do you have a minute?" he asks.

Ollie is the next to arrive, with Dinah and Keith following close behind. There was very distinct skip in his step on the way there. The old archer was very excited to see Mia alive and well. He could have been spared Zach, sure, but wasn't totally opposed to the boy.

Even if he was an arrogant little prick. Nothing like Zatanna, save for the magic.

"Hello everyone," Ollie greeted, clasping Connor firmly on the shoulder as he made his way in and then moving toward Mia and Lian for hugs. He glanced at Roy and tilted his head for a slight nod in that direction.

Keith was pretty happy to see Mia again. Ecstatic, even. But looking at her reminded him of how guilty he was for the things he did. He had Robert to thank for taking the blame, which had been relayed to the media after Keith's identity went public.

'Green Arrow Framed By Merlin' said the headlines. It was bittersweet.

So, while in this new mood of his, Keith opted to sit back for a bit until somebody pushed him into the happiness.

	She nodded with a faint smile. "Sure Roy." She hadn't seen him since they took down that drug ring almost and a half ago. One of her first adventures with Mia, really. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Dinah showed up with her husband, working down her mental checklist of Various Ways to Shut Ollie Down should things get weird or, and this was more likely, he get too irritated at Zach. In a worst case scenario, she could always just seduce him. The kids were used to that. "Hey kids." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tim arrived last, having made sure J'anna was comfortably installed at their current location before coming to the party. "You two look a lot better than the last time I saw you both." Tim grins. As in, when he was the human ping-pong ball between Black and Orange. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Zach smiles, but it seems to shift into thousand yard stare territory. "I told you... nothing's going to happen to you, Tim." Oh shit, is that Orange in his eye again? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: The next day redarrowmia 2011-03-27 03:16 am UTC (link)
	No Tim, you cannot just sneak in and not expect hugs. "Thanks for coming, Tim." Mia said, giving him a kiss on the cheek. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Anytime, blondie. But please tell your boyfriend that I'm taken and that the look in his eye should be used on you." Tim grins. "Zach, thanks for the save, man. I'm glad you were there." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)
