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.

	"FINALLY WE GET A WEDDING!" Dinah paused. "Keith, restrain your father." She wasn't counting on happiness from the first announcement to keep Ollie calm for the second. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sin considers the second announcement to be confirmation that the first is the genuine thing so she says nothing. Instead, the little ninja hugged her sister. Quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What?!" Ollie exclaimed in response. He glared at Zach. "And you didn't ask for my blessing, Zatara?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Putting aside whether or not Mia's some piece of property for you to haggle over..." Zach is too smug not to snark. He holds up his sleeves, diamond cufflinks glinting. "She asked me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Keith actually laughed at that. "Wait, wait, wait. She asked you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh my god that's awesome." Jane cracks up laughing. This is the funniest thing ever. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't get snarky with me, Zatara." He paused. "And are you going to get Mia a ring to match those cufflinks?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redarrowmia 2011-03-29 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	"If he wants to get me a ring, he can." Mia squeezed Zach's hand. "He said yes, which is the important thing here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tim laughs aloud. "So she /did/ club you over the head! All right, Zach. Show us the bruise. How many whacks did it take?" Tim asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Hold on a second, everyone! I think we're forgetting a couple of really important questions here." Roy says above the clamor.

"The first is: Have you set a date? That makes the second question: Where are you doing it?

Which makes the /last/ question: Who wants to sign up for security detail starting now?" Roy asks the assembled.

"My personal advice to you? Elope and have a kegger. Don't put it in the paper and definitely have at Titans' Tower, the JSA Brownstone or the Hall of Justice.

Or, you guys should do Vegas with Elvis impersonators. Dolphin and Garth would /love/ to come." Roy says happily.

And then he starts to cackle.

	"Congratulations Mia, more power to you," Connor says, "You can always have the wedding at the monastery, if you wanted a nice safe place to have a big wedding. The monks are also very good cooks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sin blinked. "Is there going to be pink taffeta involved?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jane blinks. "Actually I picture green being used for a color. Or I might just be crazy. And can I throw a bachleorette party?" There is a slow grin at the idea. "I have a few ideas." Gotta hire good entertainment for that kind of shindig. (Reply to this)(Parent)
