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.
