The Flash is on the job - pondering a vacation from said job.

He's feeling a bit burned out lately, but he has no idea what he'd do if he took time off.

He's heard a few reports about some funky orb going around, so he's trying to find it and corral it for study.

He comes across it sooner than he expected, and he's not quite ready for what it's going to show him...

Christmas Day. Only minutes removed from Christmas Eve.

Some people are with their families. Some people are sharing this holiday with friends, or complete strangers. Some are spending it alone. Others ignore it completely.

In some places it's snowing. In other places in the world, the "chill" comes down to a balmy seventy degrees.

On this night the world is supposed to be quiet, peaceful. Preparing for a new year, hopefully better than the last. Peace is never universal, though... not even on Christmas.

But, if even for a moment, maybe one can hope that this day unites us all.

"Good evening. Our top story today is the attack on CrystalAir Flight 1677 over Los Angeles International Airport Tuesday. Sources report that the attacker was none other than Wonder Woman, who last year drew international attention for her savage attack on a woman calling herself Medusa and this year is reportedly under investigation for her interference in a custody dispute of a female child, the daughter of American citizens.

"The FCC and President Luthor's office have demanded an explanation from Wonder Woman, who has been unavailable for interviews. Inquiries made to the JLA were received by its current chairman, Superman, who had this to say:

Cheshire slips from the door of the Queen household, moving surprisingly quickly for a woman carrying a sleeping child. Traffic is fairly light in this area, and she darts across the street without a problem.

Oliver Queen (aka Green Arrow) stumbles from the door, his eyes glassy but still searching for Cheshire's form. He catches sight of what he believes to be her and, sweating, stumbles after her. In the middle of the road, he trips.

Traffic is light here, but not nonexistent. A large cube-van, probably someone's moving van, is roaring down the street. Ollie doesn't seem to be aware of it, nor the driver of the prone man in his path. Tragedy seems to be about to strike.


CRASH!!!

Well, it was a fun ride while it lasted, being "normal" for once.

But in all of the change, I missed the difference I made, no matter where I came from. Being a Titan. Changing something in this life for the better.

Not to mention being rescued by a News Anchor instead of vice versa is really bizarre.
That was a long walk home. Hoo boy.

So right now, here I sit, waiting for the Doc to arrive.

To hopefully change me back.

*enters Gar's hospital room*

Well, how are we feeling this evening? Nursing staff tells me that your vitals are back to normal, and that you're flirting with the young and pretty ones, so I'd say you're feeling better.

*Wandering around the halls, getting used to walking around again, he wanders down the hall, each step slightly wobbly.*

Oooooooo-kay...s'not that hard...

*Spots a vending machine at the end of the corridor.*

Hmm...okay...wouldn't mind a MUD bar too...

*Wanders toward the machine, step by step.*

...one step...two...three...easy...easy...SHIT!

*Missteps, slipping and falling over.*

*Waking from a deep sleep, he slowly opens his eyes, blinking as the blurry world stays half-focused.*

Mmmmmpfh...

*He finds himself in a hospital bed in an average sized room.*

Wow. I got the Pres' suite...

*Getting out of bed slowly, his feet tangle in the sheets, falling to the floor, arms thankfully shielding his head as he lands on his chest with a [THUD!]*

OW! Goddamn! How the hell?! Why didn't I change into a...

*He pauses, mind slightly more focused, looking at his hands for the first time.*

YAAHH!

*Suprised, jumps slightly.*

.......oh....my....God...

*Looking at his hands as he slowly gets up, he lingers over the fingers, the forearms, feeling like he's stuck in a bizarre dream.*

I swear...if this is that dream again, I'm gonna scream...

*Pauses, recalling the fall, now sure that this is definitely real.*

Holy shit...holy...good God...

*Holds his hands up, turning his palms over, and back again.*

It worked...

*Brushing a forearm with the other hand, feels the skin, both familiar and not at the same time.*

...I don't believe it...it worked!

*Peeks under the crotch of his hospital gown, eyebrows raising.*

..........................................whoa.

*Looks around the room, a sink nearby.*

Damn I need a drink...

Okay, Gar ... now that the forms are all filled out and signed, you ready to see if you can go blond again?

Just lie down on this nice procedure table and try to relax.

Gar? It's Dr. Charles. Got a minute? And are you sitting down?

I think we've figured out what got your genes in a knot. Dust from the walls of Alcatraz--when you and the other Titans were dealing with that prison riot and the tekes were throwing chunks of walls at you, you were breathing in dust particles, which acted as the carrier for the microscopic organism that reacted with the sakutia still in your system.

Have you thought any more about how you want to handle this?

Gar? Dr. Sarah Charles. Sorry it's taken so long for me to get back to you, but I had to wait for our best virologist to come back from vacation. There aren't many people who've studied sakutia, or who are familiar with your parents' work.

I know you're not a scientist like your parents were, but ... okay, I'll start with the kindergarten stuff. Viruses can't reproduce themselves; they need to infect a host, at the cellular level, in order to replicate. Plenty of viruses can stay dormant in a host for years, decades, even a lifetime. Take Varicella zoster, otherwise known as chicken pox. You get it as a kid, and the virus remains dormant in your nervous system. During periods of stress or immunocompromise, the virus can be reactivated and you get shingles.

We think you're experiencing something similar. Either the sakutia virus, or the viral carrier with your father's experimental cure, allows you to rewrite your DNA and shift into different animal forms. Somehow that process has changed so that it's no longer under your conscious control. Now I want you to think very carefully, Gar. Other than that bump on the head and Kory's kidnapping, has anything weird happened to you?
