[locked] backdated like crazy, to space station plot, locked to Alex and Pike

He was in his heaven. Space station. Technology that made sense. It was like a weight was lifted from his shoulders - though in his case it was literal. The lower gravity was such a relief on his system, even if it was still higher than what he was used it, it was closer to his normal. He didn't even realize the difference it made on his joints until he went back to get some more water and ice. (What? He had spent most of his life in space. He knew the importance of water on a station like this).

The pain when he got back wasn't bad, as such. He was used to it. It was just... he'd enjoyed being without it. The normally optimistic and affable Alex was quiet, as he got reused to it.

This time he knew he didn't have to fight it alone. He hunted out someone he knew had shown interest in his problems before.

Pike was back from the station in time for her shift at the clinic, but just barely. Thanks to Scanlan's silver tongue and a hefty bribe, she'd gotten access to the medical bay and was busily learning all she could. She'd seen what being on the space station could do to residents who spent too long and she wanted to be prepared. There was so much her magic could do, but if she didn't know how to properly use it then that didn't matter.

She'd just started to settle in when Alex arrived. A smile blossomed across her face when she saw him, "Hello! I was just thinking about you!"

“Always, darlin’,” she laughed, “I’ve been learning medicine from the doctors on the station, so I don’t know if I’d call it fun, but it has been very educational. The view is stunning, though.”

His groan pulled her attention from her own thoughts and back to why she’d been focusing so intently on her studies. Walking over, she rested her hand on his knee and cast a 7th level Cure Wounds for his pain. “And how are you holding up”

"It is really wonderful. There are just so many of them? You know, I always thought the stars were closer. That once you got up high enough they'd start getting bigger." She was sure that some of the people here would think that was a ridiculous statement, but it wasn't something she'd ever actually learned about. It was just what she could come up with.

She rested her hand on him again, this time on the other side of his body and cast the spell again. "So, what if I were to tell you that I think I might have a solution to your pain rather than just managing it?"

"With magic," she gave him a half-apologetic smile. She knew that not everyone liked the idea of magical healing. "I have a spell for regeneration. It is usually used for regrowing limbs but apparently, it works by encouraging the body to repair itself. I've done some tests with the doctors on the station and they think that it will help, if not cure you completely."

"I can," she nodded, watching the disbelief on his face carefully, "It would help by returning you bones to what they were supposed to be, without the effects of living in space."

"I don't really know either, but the medical staff on the station think it will work." She smiled at him reassuringly, "If it makes you feel better, I could start with something small like your foot and see if it makes any difference?"

"Let's do it," Pike beamed up at him. "It's a pretty hefty spell which means I can only cast it once today. That will give you time to walk around and see if it helps."

She rubbed her hands together then sat down on the ground in front of him. With a little wave, she gestured for him to give her his ankle. "Okay, so, this is going to be a little different than the spell I usually cast on you. It will take about two minutes rather than a few seconds."

"Don't worry," she gave him a reassuring smile, "I have more magical energy than I know what to do with on most days."

Looking up from her seat on the ground, she gestured for his ankle again, "From what I've been told, the area will be filled with the same healing warmth of my other healing spells but it will last the whole two minutes. But it won't get hot or hurt."
