Notes: I greatly apologize for the huge delay. After a series of computer crashes, one that just got fixed today, and various other things that have distracted my mind, I am hoping to get my story back on its feet. Thank you to all those that have read, favorited, and reviewed. I am hoping to get this rolling!

4: "Anna Todd"

I walk over to Dr. Rosen as we wait for Gary's test results. Right now Gary is with his team, lying down, and being monitored by the nurses. He continues to twist his wrist in various directions, his mind fixated on something that we cannot see. They are all cleared with minor bruises and cuts and scrapes. I marvel at their luck. Most people would have had at least a concussion.

"We should have the test results soon, Dr. Rosen," I say with a smile.

"That's good news. I called Gary's mother, she's on her way," he concedes with a sigh. I clench my jaw, a reflex from being thrust into a situation that I just don't want to be in. Rosen seems to notice, but he doesn't say anything.

"Would you and your team be so kind as to do a series of reflex tests, Dr. Rosen?" I continue, putting a pen that I was twirling into my white jacket breast pocket.

"Of course. Any particular reason?"

"Nothing to note," I smile and take his hands. The tests are pointless, meaningless even. His team walks over, curious as to what I am doing. I begin to go through each one of their medical histories, one by one. They all are special except for Dr. Rosen. What makes me nervous is their abilities … Rachel's senses, and Nina's mind manipulation specifically. When I take Cameron's hands, I feel a rush of something that I have not felt in a long time. Looking up into his blue eyes, I can feel my cheeks filling with blood, and a blush warming my face. I have to look down, but he's noticed. He's professional enough to not say anything. "Perfect, just as I expected." I initial all of their charts, giving them the final okay.

"Dr. Todd."

"Yes, Dr. Rosen," I turn with a smile. The blush is fading, but I am sure that it is lingering.

"Where are you from?"

"I was raised in London. Why do you ask?"

"Nothing, it's just … you speak like you're from another world. Another time period perhaps."

"Well, it is possible, I suppose," the smile remains, "but that would be quite an incredible feat."

"Why do the reflex tests?" he presses, his tone more serious. His team seems very intent on my answer. "What were you really trying to figure out?"

"I haven't an inkling as to what you are alluding to. I will pass Gary's case to another doctor; my shift shall be ending soon ..."

"Dr. Todd," Nina stands in my way, and I do not dare look in her eyes. Instead I stare at her temples. "Dr. Todd, could you just look at me a sec?"

"I find it a discomforting action, very much like Gary," I say softly and push past her.

"How did you know?" Dr. Rosen stands and his voice is raised. A few heads turn and look in our direction. I have no choice but to confront them.

"Know what?" I step close and pull the curtain so that we are all pressed together. Gary's mind is in another world, still drunk on serotonin. My eyes lock with Rosen's.

"You knew that Nina needs eye contact in order to make you tell the truth. You have no problem with looking people in the eye, you're looking at me. You looked right into Mr. Hicks' eyes –"

"I find them quite blue," I retort, but know that I am cornered.

"The truth, Dr. Todd," Dr. Rosen says sternly.

"Not here," I say quickly. "My shift ends at seven, I will be on the A-level of the parking garage … perhaps I will accidentally run into you or one of your colleagues?" With that I leave the uncomfortable situation, hoping I have not just made the worst mistake of my life.
