âNo need to thank me either,â She replied with a knowing smile, clicking her tongue as she peered up at him with such understanding warmth. âI am your doctor, after allâŠno, beyond that, I am your friend. I will always be there to patch you all up, no matter what the outcome brings. Though, just be aware that you wonât escape a tongue lashing from me.â She then stepped back and glanced around the vacant park, admiring the low light and the snow which fell angelically around them. Remarkably, they were left alone this entire time. For that, she was truly grateful. She wanted to remain here beside the man she yearned for in her heart of hearts, but what would they do if they were found in the open like this? While she was a stubborn woman and was accustomed to being defiant toward her superior officers, it would not bode well for the image of the newly reformed group of heroes.
âIâŠought to get going.â She said finally, hesitation lingering in her tone as she gazed at the falling snow from the heavens above. There was a peculiar expression on her features; as if speaking those words inflicted greivous wounds on her heart. âItâs growing late and I ought not draw suspicion that I am âconsorting with the enemyâ.â She then looked over to him with a helpless grin, as if she acknowledged it was the best move for them but dreading following through with it. âYouâve my business card. If you need a consultation, please feel free to contact me. Heh, even if you donât want a consultation, please donât hesitate to reach out. Oh!â She then perked up and closed the gap again, pulling out a blank bit of paper from her pocket and scrawling an address on it with a small pen she procured from her coat pocket. âHere,â She said while offering the scrap paper to him as if it were gold. âItâsâŠmy current address while Iâm here in Kingâs Row. If you wish to stop by, I assume you can do so while remaining unseen.â She remarked with light laughter, knowing very well how covert the man could be, even before he gained the billowing black clouds.
