A commission for last_of_workers!

Team Medic H.E also known as Howard Ellis, sometimes called Mad Scientist. Howard is one, if not the most interesting person born in this world. He came into this world sporting a great deal of genetic abnormalities.

Albinism, which has caused a complete absence of melanin in his body, makes his skin pale and makes it very harmful for him to be in the sun without protection, it has also caused his hair to become lighter to the point that it’s nearly white.

Heterochromia, which was much more noticeable thanks to his previous conditions. His left eye has a bright bluish color, while his eye on the right has a bright pinkish color. Howard also has hemophilia.

So he often walks around with bruises all over his body since it causes him to easily bruise. While in the field, he also carries a ton of medical supplies just for himself, as if he gets cut, his blood doesn’t clot properly.

He has several other diseases as well, despite that though, he’s alive. Howard is a survivor and manages them all. Though he manages them and doesn’t let them get to him, others have, mainly his parents. Howard was abandoned as a child because his parents didn’t want to care for him.

He spent most days in the hospital having doctors poke and prod him, doing tests day in and day out, not in hopes to help him, but in the hopes they could learn something to help future generations. Being alone in a hospital gave Howard a lot of time to himself, time he used to study medicine.

He eventually became a brilliant doctor and scientist who liked to perform interesting experiments with DNA. That’s how O.R.B. discovered him, and from there he agreed to join the medical department as long as they didn’t interfere with his experiments.

Eventually, he became the Medical expert for the Global Infiltration Revenge Legion. Now not only does he do his experiments, but now he gets to create things to help his team perform better on missions, while also tending to any medical emergencies that might arise during said missions.

The medicines he creates are usually very effective, but they often come with strange side effects. He has some that increase certain bodily capabilities tenfold, but after using them, the person will become addicted to them and die if they don’t take another within twenty-four hours.

Another one he has is a combat mutagen that allows someone to regrow a limb that had been lost in a matter of seconds, but it also has a fifty-seven percent chance to replace the skin with scales, make hair glow in the dark, or even turn you into a hermaphrodite.

They were all strange, but useful almost all the time, and while they’re dangerous in the wrong hands, Howard always reversed any unwanted side effects and never gave his teammates anything he couldn’t reverse yet.

Though his body wasn’t the strongest, and he could possibly die at any moment from the diseases he carries, Howard found solace in his life by putting all his effort into his work in the lab and on the field with his team. Status, MIA.

Howard along with the rest of her team went from the realm of orbs to some sort of girl’s locker room in another world. It was clear they lost the fight and needed a way back, so Klin initiated protocol 404, which is used in this case to blend in and not look suspicious.

So each of them would have to pretend to be normal girls and go about their lives like nothing happened. Which was embarrassing, but for the sake of the mission, they would do it, like they always did.

So they split up and started and began learning about their current identities. Howard walked into the restroom area connected to the locker room and went to look at herself. She was quite amazed at being turned into a girl.

In her old life she had developed a drug that was capable of doing just this, of course, it did come with a side effect that made them uncontrollably horny. Howard had never used it herself, as it could be deadly to her old body.

Speaking of which, the rest of her teammates looked vastly different from their old selves, but Howard looked a lot like her old self. She still had pale skin and white hair, along with her multicolored eyes.

Howard wondered if all of her old diseases carried over with her, though at first glance it didn’t really feel like it. Her body didn’t feel as weak or fragile as it did before. Howard decided to test it out and she took her hand and slapped her thigh.

Normally this was enough to cause massive bruising, but this time while it still hurt, there was no sign she had bumped into something. Howard looked into the mirror and looked at herself again. She was really freed of her major ailments, ones she’s had her entire life.

All that remained were the ones that made her look different, and honestly for the first time while looking at herself she didn’t see them as something bad, in fact, she sort of felt beautiful. Howard smiled as she looked at herself, she’d never felt so good.

She then sighed and grabbed the bag she had with her. She needed to see what information this body had on it. Howard dumped her bag out into the sink. There was a small anime girl coin purse, a couple of school books and a planner, a student ID, a phone, and art supplies.

Howard found herself drawn to the art supplies and picked up the book. Howard opened it and flipped through it. In her old life, art was one of her passions, but she rarely got time to indulge in it thanks to the missions and experiments she had to conduct.

The art inside the books was really good, and just like how she normally paints or draws. Howard put the art supplies away and picked up the student ID. Howard read it over and got her new name and age. She was currently Haley Ellison, a short eighteen-year-old in high school.

Haley shrugged, she was glad she ended up as an adult, and that her name was not bad. She then began to pack the rest of her stuff back up, stopping at the school planner. Haley looked over it and saw that all that was left for the day was clubs.

That was good, that meant she probably wouldn't be missed and could sneak into the lab and start making some of the drugs that could be useful for her team while they were undercover as high school girls. Haley left the locker room bathroom and started to make her way to the lab.

On the way she passed the art club, and that’s when the president of the club noticed her and ran up to her. He seemed super excited to see Haley and was asking her about all kinds of methods for drawing anime girls.

He pulled her inside and brought her to a table where he had been drawing. He then asked for a few pointers on getting better. Haley was going to tell him she didn’t have time today and make an excuse to go home, but she looked down at his art.

It was a bit different from anime style, but he had his own unique style. Haley began to give him a few pointers on adjusting his style to more fit anime, and the club president began to try it and got excited when it looked even better.

Haley smiled knowing he was happy and actually looked to him for tips on art instead of medicine. It was almost like getting a day off, which she never had in her old life. The president then asked Haley what she was going to work on today.

Haley had no idea what this version of herself had been working on, but then she suddenly had a memory flash before her eyes. She turned and looked at a large canvas sitting in the corner that was about half finished. Haley suddenly remembered putting nearly a hundred hours into it already.

She smiled and walked up to it. The club president laughed and slapped his own head. He said he should have guessed she was going to work on her masterpiece. He then got up and came over and looked at it in awe, just like Haley was doing.

He said it was completely amazing that she could already draw anything from anime girls to dragons, but the fact that she could also make such strange paintings that look like they belong in a museum was crazy. He then playfully cried and asked Haley to share some of her talent.

Haley didn’t even hear him, she was so focused on the painting in front of her. Just looking at it filled her with inspiration and desire to finish it. Haley grabbed an apron, a ton of paintbrushes, and lastly, all the colors of pain she needed.

She set them all up and got to work stroking away. The world around her vanished. It was just her and her canvas, and it felt amazing, it felt freeing. Before Haley knew it, she was covered in paint, and it was time for the club to let out for the day.

A few of the other club members came over to see what Haley had added to her painting today and they all showered her with praise. Haley who was no longer zoning out was incredibly embarrassed. She was so nervous and couldn't bring herself to say much.

Her club members seemed used to that and just continued to praise her and talk about her work. They even began to chat about which artist Haley’s painting resembles the most, and some of them mentioned Salvador Dalí and Vincent van Gogh, both of which were inspirations to Haley.

Haley, being shy and nervous, took a few steps back to try and get some space between her and the other members, but she ended up falling backward and spilling paint all over herself. The club members quickly helped her up and cleaned her off.

Haley thanked them and apologized saying she had no idea how that happened. Several of them rolled their eyes and said it was because she was so clumsy. Haley let out an awkward laugh and apologized again.

She was quite clumsy, but that was because her old body was quite frail and things happened from time to time. It seems that trait carried over, but since her new body isn’t frail, perhaps she can learn to not be so clumsy, at least she hopes she can.

Haley said goodbye to the club members and stuck off towards the lab, but it was locked up with no way for her to get inside, which while annoying wasn’t really a problem. It didn’t really seem like they’d need to make use of Haley’s medical knowledge in this world.

Haley smiled when she thought that she was only ever into medicine and science in order to cure herself, but she doesn’t need to do that anymore, so there’s nothing keeping her from pursuing her passions, mainly to create art that moves people's hearts and makes them think.

Haley was deep in thought about what she should do tomorrow at the club for her painting when she realized she walked all the way home. She was surprised because she wasn’t entirely sure where she was, yet she made it home.

She shrugged and headed inside. Inside was a woman chasing around a big fluffy cat that had a good-looking pastry in his mouth. Haley started to laugh, and the cat came running and jumped into Haley’s arms. Haley began to stroke its fur while the woman approached them.

Haley looked at her and suddenly knew who she was. It was her big sister Khloe, the person who always took care of her since their parents Lily and Stan lived in another city because of how busy their work was.

Khloe took the pastry from the cat, whose name suddenly appeared in Haley’s head as well. He was Furryballs, a joyful cat who loved to be held and played with. He’s a fun and pretty calm cat, at least when it comes to Haley, to Khloe, he seems to be a bit of a menace.

Khloe gave Furryballs a death stare and then greeted Haley. She told Haley that dinner was ready and that there was mail from their parents by the door. She then mentioned they’d be stopping by this weekend for a quick visit.

Khloe then looked Haley up and down and sighed. Haley had a ton of pain in her uniform again. Khloe told Haley to toss her uniform in the wash with the paint remover before she went to bed, that way her uniform wasn't a mess in the morning.

Haley nodded and dropped Furryballs. She grabbed her mail and went to the table to eat and read it. She was surprised to find such a nice handwritten letter from her new parents, one that made it clear they loved her deeply and cared about her.

Haley was nearly in tears reading it, she ever had parents and honestly didn’t think that affected her, but to finally feel it, to finally have it was as freeing and uplifting as when she was painting. Haley finished her dinner, tossed her information into the wash, and went to shower.

After he showered she sat in bed looking around her room while holding the letter. Her room was filled with art she’d made, pictures of her friends and family and it was just amazing. Haley laid back and put her pillow on her face.

She knew she was supposed to find a way to get back, but she really didn’t want to. She wanted to stay here. Being a girl was a simple price to pay for a healthy body, a loving family, and a stress-free life of painting. She knew there was no way she was going back, but how was she supposed to explain that to her team?
