I've been having this excruciating pain in my shoulder for the past two days (I have no idea why.) but it gave me an idea for Alex. What if she was was shot in the shoulder once or twice in the Civil War and they got the bullet(s) out. However, it never healed quiet right so every now and than the pain comes back to bug her. Plus it'd give her something else to have in common with her dad. Only Arthur sometimes gets pains in his back.
