“Very true.”  Mary conceded as she sat down on the opposite end of the bench. Idly, Mary busied herself with her bag, pulling out a thermos containing freshly brewed coffee from the grounds she’d obtained from Flynn just days prior.  “I’m taking a lunch break.”  She said matter-of-factly, pouring the coffee into the attached mug.

“And yourself?”

Ava eyed the the thermos with a raised eyebrow, “I’m just giving my brain a chance to breathe.” She said, “I’ve been meaning to ask..but would you mind if I shadowed you tomorrow?”

“I think books are so brilliant, don’t you?” Esther smiled, picking up one that had fallen to the ground, before placing it in the other woman’s hands. The stranger seemed rather lovely, and she hadn’t spoken to someone in so long. Pulling together some courage, she tried another few words: “Are you a teacher? I’ve never seen someone walking with this many books.”

“They’re something,” she said, taking the book and giving Esther a light smile. “I’m training to be a doctor, actually...hopefully. I must look crazy.” Ava laughed, “Where are you headed?”

Walking back to her home was one of Esther’s favourite things to do. The soft breeze, the buzz of people doing their jobs, with the background noise of the Cardinal’s speech from different monitors. She walked slowly down the road, staring off into the distance, before smashing against someone. “Oh! I am so, so sorry!”

Ava tumbled backward, managing to keep herself up. She had been studying while walking which of course, was a stupid idea. “No worries, it’s my fault. I should probably keep my head out of the books while walking.” she laughed.

“Strangely I’ve had a very similar conversation this week” Alice shows her sympathy in her smile, her job could be pretty taxing with all the work it took to educate the restless youth but even she knew that Ava’s job must take so much out of her. “Officially two years now”

“Really? Oddly enough, I believe that.” she said with a laugh. “I’ve always thought teachers were tough. Kids are a lot of work.”

“Good to see you too, Ava,” Bobbie replies with a small smile. She frowned slightly as Ava spoke of her job, knew how important it was to do good, saw too many people being cast out when they didn’t meet the Society’s requirements to ‘contribute’. “Hey, I know you can do it. We each need an adjustment period for new things, right?”

Ava nodded, agreeing with her statement. Maybe she did just need to adjust. “You’re right,” she said with a slight grin, “and how have things been going for you, soldier? “

“Did that make me sound a million years old?” he chuckled. All joking aside, Jax often felt much older than he was. It was probably the result of trying to juggle so many different tasks and sides of himself. “I actually have a break in my day. I was thinking of visiting my parents, but it can wait. What’s on your mind?“

“Not a million, maybe a good hundred. You’re going to make your parents wait? Rude.” she smiled, contemplating his question. “I want to help people, but sometimes I feel like I don’t belong..not that I have much of a choice.”

He snickered, shaking his head a little. “Maybe not a celebrity, but my name is definitely well known….among the military men trying to catch me doing something wrong.” His family was a sore subject, especially lately. It seemed like everything he did was wrong, and if he didn’t do exactly as they wanted, he wasn’t worth paying attention to. “Yep. I’m sure of it. I’ll bet your parents are proud, though.”

Ava raised a curious eyebrow at him when he mentioned the military. “Well, are you doing anything you shouldn’t be?” she asked lightheartedly. It was obvious to her that he was uncomfortable talking about his parents so she decided not to push it. “Yeah, they would never admit it though.”

Mary eyed the trainee with surprise. “One day is a long time?”

Ava bit back a laugh at the womans sarcasm. “In the hospital it is. Dr. Dawson to what do I owe this pleasure?”

Flynn winked at her before giving her a quick nudge with his elbow. “You know it. I’m really making a good name for myself, you know? Everyone wants to know Flynn Dolan.” Snickering, he couldn’t bring himself to keep up a straight face. “My parents are on my case more than ever. I’m pretty sure they’re waiting for me to get exiled.”

“Yeah? So you consider yourself a celebrity now?” she laughed, nudging him back. “I feel so honored to be in your presence.” Avas laughter died down at the mention of Flynn’s parents. “you think so? I’m sure thats not true.”

“I know, it feels like it’s been ages since we last ran into one another. But you’re at the hospital now, right? You gotta know why I wouldn’t hang out there,” Lola explained, she avoided the hospital as much as possible. “And I imagine they must keep you quite busy, don’t they?”

Ava’s face lit up with excitement when she saw Lola, “How have you been? Catch me up on everything.” She was ecstatic to see a friend, especially since her days had been taken up by studying. “oh they definitely do, sometimes I feel like my brain is going to explode.”

“Luckily I don’t need to come by very often” Alice replies with a warm smile at the other woman “only times like today when it’s time for my check-up or I end up catching something particularly nasty from one of the kids in my class.”

Ava welcomed Alice with a smile of her own. “I’m here all the time, it’s kind of weird that there’s an outside world.” she laughed, “How long have you been teaching?”

“That’s what happens when you join the healthcare faction!” Flynn teased, dropping down next to Ava. He ran a cold hand through his hair, surveying the park. “You’re too busy to see anyone now. Are you still in training?”

Ava nodded in agreement, being a healthcare trainee was a lot of work and she was hardly ever outside of the hospital. “You got me there. I’m training for three more months. What about you...still being a stand up citizen?” she joked.

Walking out of the hospital, Bobbie carefully rolled her still sore right shoulder. Thankfully, it wasn’t anything serious. She had more pulled muscles than any other kind of injury. Serves her right for being distracted in the middle of training. As soon as she recognizing a familiar face ahead of her, Bobbie went and sat down without a word, turning to face Ava. “Well, been more careful. Can’t be pulling something after each training session now, bad example to the rookies. How’s your training going?”

“I suppose you’re right. It’s good to see you.” Ava said, giving the womans shoulder a light squeeze. She sighed hearing Bobbie’s question, “Its going...the hours are defnitely more than what im used to and its a lot of information but it’s going.”

“I know, my schedule’s been a little crazy.” Jax hadn’t planned on staying at the park, but when he saw Ava, he headed straight over. The cold metal made him shiver, but he didn’t stand up. “What are you doing out here? You’re going to catch your death.”

“Catch my death?” Ava shot him an amused look, “there are about a million ways I could do that, I don’t think this is it.” She focused her attention ahead of her, “I’m clearing my mind. What about you, where are you headed?” 

[theavaporter-blog]

Ava took a seat on the park bench, taking in the cold weather while the children played. The hospital had been busy and though she was only a trainee, the hours were still gruesome. Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt the presence of someone sitting next to her. “what a coincidence, long time no see.”

“Yes, exactly!” She couldn’t have put it better herself. Relief washed over her face when the other woman seemed to understand the issue. “I worked hard to get into healthcare so that I could help people and give them hope, not so that I could be the one to remind them how hopeless life is.” Nadia reached out and shook Ava’s hand, nodding as she committed the name to memory. “I’m Nadia…and obviously, I work in healthcare. I’m a nurse. Usually I work in the surgical department.”

“The surgical department?” she questioned with a raised eyebrow, “How did you get stuck covering a shift in hospice?” Confusion overtook her features as Nadia spoke,  “I’m a trainee..so as you probably know I spend most of my time studying on the first floor.”

nadiapruet‌:

Nadia didn’t enjoy being angry, but for some reason, everything set her off. She grimaced, realizing how harsh she’d been. “Yeah…sorry, it’s just - I’m used to dealing with the more technical side of things. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got good bedside manner but the people I help normally are on the mend. We’re actively doing something to help them. But hospice…”

“But hospice is helpless?” Ava smiled, “full of the terminally ill and incurable. I understand. It can definitely be stressful.” Though she was only a trainee, she understood how it could be draining to feel like there was nothing they could do to help when its their job to do so. “I’m Ava,” She said, holding out her hand.
