[The normally reserved eleven-year-old appears on screen looking even more withdrawn than usual. Withdrawn, and exhausted. Like she was two seconds away from passing out over the console. Her lids were heavy, there were lines beneath her eyes, and her skin was paler than usual. Even at a glance, it would be apparent to the casual onlooker that she hadn't been sleeping very well the last few days. Not since her little visit to the Death realm.]

[In hindsight, audio might have been the better option. But she wasn't thinking straight right then, and unfortunately, what she had to say required a visual aid.]

I...found something. Out there. While I was...um... [Mind still slightly hazed, she struggled to find the right word before settling for:] ...exploring.

[Her eyes drift downward, and she reaches for something off-screen. Holding it up for the entire Network to see. It was some sort of purple circular device. Technology that definitely did not look local.]

Others were using the Network to help people find there things. And it looked important.

...whatever it is.

[She genuinely had no idea.]

You simply turn it on and let the light do the rest of the work. [The movement catches her eye though, and she turns to her arm curiously.] Would you wish to try it?

[Again, an instinctive flinch. But, after a pause, Midii slowly lowers her hand.]

Will it hurt?

[She wasn't afraid of a little pain so much as she was trusting another individual at all. But Diana had been nothing but kind so far. And if it could help her, she would be willing to try.]

No. [She can assure that much.] It is meant to heal only, and should work instantaneously. Do you trust me?

No.

[The answer came almost immediately, but not hurried. A statement, rather than outburst. Was she afraid of Diana? No. But she knew better than to immediately trust someone she had only just met. It was nothing personal--she didn't really trust anybody on the Turtle yet.]

...but you can try your healing device on me.

I want to see how it works.

A wise answer. [If not a little blunt, but she can appreciate that. Well, with permission, she starts fiddling with the device, switching it on as soon as she could before directing it to her arm.] This is where the pain is centered, correct?

[Midii nodded, keeping her eyes focused on the wound. And the device. Not wanting to miss a second of whatever happened.]

[It seemed like just a normal ray of light. Purple, like the name, and even Diana thinks they should rename it. However, she might find that if there were any scratches, they are slowly closing or healing. If there is a bruise, it is slowly disappearing. Any discomfort she might have will also slowly recede to nothing, as if she never gained the injury.]

How does that feel?

[Her eyes were wide by the time the whole thing was over. Gently reaching over to touch the spot where the bruise no longer was.]

...better. I can't feel a thing.

You managed to find the real thing. [She is relieved. At least she got the right device.] This device could heal almost any wound instantly, though we never really used it all that much.

That's amazing.

[It was rare for Midii to express so much genuine awe in her tone, but this was the first time anything 'magical' being presented to her had proven to be so invaluable.]

Where did it come from?

Themyscira, the land of the Amazons. That is where I am from. [She's proud of her home tech, of course. They made a lot of advancements others could only dream of.] Though, the fact that it was brought here is unusual. How did they manage to get a hold of it?

[Themyscira. Amazons. She'd never heard of either before.]

I don't know.

I just...found it. I'm not even sure most of the locals knew it was there.
