Six weeks, Desmond had been given forty-two days of medical leave from the military to recover from his injuries, a time that was practically a mockery considering that Desmond had his right arm almost completely crippled at the time he was given the medical leave.
Of course, it was because an esper's natural recovery abilities were so far superior to that of a normal human that an esper as powerful as Desmond was expected to recover quickly.
Also, Desmond was supposed to have at his disposal an esper with healing abilities who would help him in his recovery, this person was none other than Claire's best friend from school; Melissa Collins.
A member of Desmond's squad, Melissa Collins rarely spent time with the squad or went on missions with them as she was almost always taking crash courses in medicine while training how to combine medical knowledge with her abilities to heal with more efficiency.
