Previously:
Cassie Greenaway was a Grad Student specializing in organic Companion Planting, specifically The “Three Sisters”, when someone contaminated her lab; transforming her into “The Windigo”, as the media have dubbed her.
After appearing and disappearing from the UN, where she had urged action on protecting drinking water and air quality, Cassie went to see her Grandmother, Emily and Aunt Carol, a Naturopathic Doctor.
After seeing the news footage of her niece, Cassie, as ‘The Windigo’, Dr. Carol called Dr. Astor, a geneticist and immunologist, at Nova Clinic, to help.
Dr. Astor is trying to get Cassie to teleport herself, the way she did at the UN, to the the old N.S.I. medical bays, in fallout shelter, under her offices at the Nova Clinic.

“Cassie, focus on my voice,” Dr. Astor urged her. “Remember you’ve been here before. Remember, how my sister Izzy and D used to come here.”
“Cassie, I think you’re channeling the power of nature,” Dr. Astor said. “Everything in nature is connected; and, somehow you’re tapping into that,” She concluded.
“I feel: so much pain and suffering,” Cassie cried. “Poisons, in the water, and air, seeping through the ground; how can they be so greedy?
“They’re eating the future!” She cried. “How can they not care for their own children and grandchildren?
“They’re eating the future!”
“Cassie!” Dr. Astor called to her. There was shimmer, right in front of her.
She reached out and grabbed her arm, “I’ve got you!”
