6:22PM

"Let's clear it out." TC called as he and the EMS crew wheeled the trolley through. "Move it people." TC ordered, turning to the doctor he asked. "I need a type and screen and two units of blood."

"Sure thing." The doctor nodded before heading off to organise the necessary tests. "You got lucky there TC." The doctor whistled.

"Luck had nothing to do with it." TC retorted, cockily. He really didn't need his ego inflating even more.

TC began making his way to the break room when Dr Alexander's voice stopped him in his tracks. "Heard about it over dispatch. Hell of a way to start your shift."

"Not my first choice." He chuckled. Noticing the new linen trolley, TC reached for a clean scrub top before depositing his blooded top into the nearest bin.

"You look like crap" Jordan stated, matter of factly. "Are you fighting again?"

TC simply ignored his ex girlfriend's comments and dismissed her. "But this time, it wasn't me who started it."

"It never is." Jordan muttered. "Now you're here. I need your paperwork, you're a month behind."

"In case you realised. Paperwork isn't really my biggest priority."

Jordan shook her head. "Just do your paperwork, stop going out and getting drunk, you've got bigger things to worry about." With one last look Jordan headed back to her patients, greeting Drew as she passed.

"Morning or whatever." Drew grumbled at TC, his voice low.

Drew Alister was one of TC's best friends, he, like TC was an Army medic and had served overseas on many occasions. He was now an Army Reserve and when he wasn't being shipped off overseas he was a Resident in San Antonio Memorial Hospital.

TC sighed. "Hey, you know anything about this new doctor? Some hot shot or something?" He asked after a moment or two, looking up from the charts he was holding.

He shook his head. Catching sight of Topher Zia, he called him over. "Hey, Topher? You heard anything about the new attending?" Drew asked, curiously he wandered over to the group. They had all been informed that there would be a new attending starting today but they hadn't been given anything more.

"The surgeon? No. Just as in the dark as you." Topher shrugged. Lifting his wrist, he sighed. "Anyway, she's late."

8:41PM

It had been little before 9PM when TC had been called to a multi-vehicle accident. He was glad for the break, he had been trying to avoid Jordan all evening especially with her on his back about the drug paperwork.

"Hey TC?" Topher called across the ER, gaining TC's attention, he continued. "We've got an accident in Kerr County, looking bad."

TC nodded and soon enough they were on their way.

9:01PM

"What do we got?" TC asked, his voice loud as he tried to drown out the sound of the propellers spinning.

"Fight between an SUV, Car and motorbike." The medevac doctor informed. There had been two units sent to help, the call had come saying that two cars had collided and the second car had then spun itself around and knocked a motorbike off the road.

"They said there was a doctor on scene? Was she involved in the accident." Topher added, his voice also loud.

"Yeah! There's a woman, blonde, cute, ya know. Says she's an attending, she's banged up pretty bad too." One of the first medevac doctors said. "She's the one on the sun roof, look over there."

TC and Topher listened carefully before turning their head in the direction he had been pointing. They caught sight of a blonde woman, she still had her helmet on but they could see from the reflections that her hair had been light. They couldn't really determine her age either but she was fairly tall at 5ft5, and her leather's clung to her figure, she had in fact been the motorbike rider.

The two doctors nodded, both adjusting their bags they ran towards the SUV. The motorbike rider had been hanging over the sun roof, stabilising a young boy's head. "I need some help over here!" She screamed.

"Hey, ma'am. I'm-"

That voice. She may have been slightly dazed from the knock she had received to her head but she knew exactly who it was. TC Callahan.

Ignoring him, she spoke. "Okay, here we have Matthew. Now my little friend Mathew has a separation of the spine to the skull, the nerves are holding it in place. We need to stabilise him and get him into surgery." Trying to shake her head a little, the other doctor caught sight.

"Ma'am, I'm gonna need to check you out. Witnesses say you were flung from the motorbike." Topher said, his voice steady as he tried to speak to the woman who had clearly been the doctor.

"I've seen worse." She muttered, her head turning towards the dark hair, green eye doctor that had climbed into the car. "Isn't that right T?"

TC's head snapped up, her visor had been pushed up and he could see her eyes. It didn't take much to recognise the huskiness. "Wh-wh- Lori?" TC struggled. Lori was supposed to be on tour, she still had another 5 months left and she had already completed 4.

"Let's save the pleasantries, T." Lori said. "I need you to stabilise his neck for me, I can't see a thing with this helmet on." Truth was, she had took quite a knock, the helmet had taken most impact luckily, but she could feel her own body start to bruise.

"Let me." TC said. Reaching up, he gently unclipped the clasp before slowly pulling it off. "Nice to see civilian life hasn't deterred you from action."

"Did you ever think it would?" She chuckled lightly. Shaking her head she continued, "he had movement in his extremities. He's got a chance."

"Hey T, Molly says our neurosurgeon is in Houston and our new attending still hasn't shown up at the ER. They can't get hold of her." Topher called, rain had began to pour quite quickly. They needed to get out of there.

Lori lifted her head, looking up until she could see TC. "Did I tell you I got a new job? Oh and my phone- it's kinda water logged."

"This really shouldn't surprise me. After all, trouble follows." He shook his head, biting his lip not to chuckle before calling back out. "Toph? I think we got that covered."

9:41PM

TC, Topher and Lori all followed the gurney into the ER. They had arrived by chopper just before the storm hit, thankfully.

"Listen up, 9 year old Matthew. Skull is detached from the spine, we need to get him up to the OR now." TC declared as soon as they were through the doors. Doctors and nurses come in all different directions.

They all began attaching drips and organising rooms when a man, no taller than Lori appeared. He was wearing a suit and had clearly, quite possibly been the man she had arranged to meet.

"He can't go to the OR, our new surgeon hasn't arrived yet." Rogosa declared, his hands flailing around in panic. This would of course reflect badly on the ER.

Chatter started amongst a few, TC had tried to protest but it was the husky voice that caught their attention.

"Well if I may.." Lori spoke up from beside the gurney she and TC were pushing through the ER. Stepping back from the gurney, she raised her bloodied hand. "Captain Lauren Alister, your new surgeon. Sorry I was well- uh a little late. Got caught up in a little traffic."

Those who surrounded couldn't help but let out a chuckle. Even TC had to hide his smirk.

"Now if you excuse me, I have a surgery to perform." And with a smile, Lori was off.

11:04PM

"So who is that?" Krista, the new intern asked. It hadn't taken long for the news to fly around the hospital. "You know, the hotshot, total biker girl." She had been leant against the nurses station when the sudden gossip had began.

"That is Lauren Alister" Jordan smiled sadly, hearing the end of the conversation the two new interns had been having.

"Wait, Alister as in Dr Alister? Why's everyone calling her Lori?" Krista asked, confused.

"Yes, Drew's little sister." Jordon nodded before she shrugged. "I just know she'll have your head if you try and call her Lauren, she hates it." She said with a slight chuckle.

Jordan had met Lori when she was serving with TC on one of his tours, they had been friends for years and they looked out for each other. TC took on a big brother role with the Alister and even when they hadn't served it was always clear.

"She's pretty." Paul sighed, clearly more impressed by her beauty rather than the fact that she was about to reconstructive surgery whilst she was injured herself.

There was no denying that, Lauren Alister was. Her hair blonde, cut perfectly and naturally straight. After being brought to the ER she had used an elastic tie to throw it up and although it had been done carelessly and somehow made it look effortless and attractive. Her eyes were like the tropical sea, blue and almost see through, the bright colour didn't disguise the black circles that covered her skin.

"What do we know about her" Krista asked, feeling suddenly interested in the woman who seemed to have been a gift sent down on the ER.

"She's a bright kid. Neurosurgeon as a specialty but you name it she's done it. Wanted to be the best of the best, she signed up at 18." Jordan shrugged.

"Wow." The intern muttered, her focus now diverted to the blonde haired woman who had changed into a pair of dark scrubs, finally ridding the leathers. This woman might just become her goddess.

12:20AM

She had just finished the three hour surgery and she really needed a shower, after asking one of the nurses where she could get some fresh scrubs she eventually found the showers. She had just changed when her brother had been leant against an opened locker, clearly reserved for Lori.

"So when were you gonna tell me you were back?" Drew said, making Lori jump.

"What the hell-" She muttered with a raised eyebrow. "Saving a life, kinda my job." She chuckled.

"Stop. Lori. You're my sister I know what you're doing." Drew rolled his eyes, his sister had a habit of diverting attention. "Not here, not now. From war?"

Lori shrugged. "I got the offer, leave was granted." Reaching into her now assigned locker, she used the spray Jordan had kindly leant her. She was ready.

The brother and sister made their way out of the locker room. The slight change in light made her shy away, squinting a little. She had hoped her brother missed it but it seems not.

"Let me look." Drew said. When she tried to pull away, he grabbed her chin and sent her a warning flare. "Lo?"

Huffing, she settled on a gurney that had been stranded in the corridor. "This is pointless."

"Quit it." He warned. "Did you damage your helmet?" She shook her head, checking her pupil dilation he was satisfied she hadn't received any head trauma. "Looks clear, but I wanna book you in for a Head CT."

"No." Lori protested, maybe a little too quickly. "I don't need a CT. Waste of money."

Drew knew he wouldn't win, he never did, he might have been the big brother but Lori was always the confident one. He had assumed that had been caused by his sexuality, he couldn't admit that he was gay which added to the pressure he was under as he served. His sister had known, he was sure she knew before he did, but he knew Lori understood, she had been there through his difficulties, she had even covered for him more times than none.

Sighing, he said. "You feel any worse you get yourself up to that CT. That's an order."

Jumping off the gurney, Lori nodded before raising her hand in mock salute. "Yes Capt."

Drew chuckled, reaching out he ruffled his sister's hair as they began to move down the hallway.

"So have you got anywhere to stay?" Drew asked his sister, walking beside her.

Lori made a slight hum. She hadn't planned, all she knew was that she had been offered a great position in her home town and she wasn't about to pass up on it.

Drew chuckled. "I guess not then." He hadn't expected anything else really, it was typical fashion, she was always ready for action but throw her back to civilian life, not at all. Drew nodded. "Come on, stay with me. Until you get your ass into gear?

"What?!" Lori exclaimed, Drew had always been the most private of people, he would never offer anything. Maybe war had changed him, like it changed herS

"I'm serious Lo, it'll be like old times" Her brother smiled. "And I'd like to have you with me"

"Okay"

"Okay?" When Lori nodded again Drew picked his small sister up and hugged her tightly causing a few of the other doctors to look at the two skeptically, especially the two new interns Krista and Paul.

"Hey, how much longer do I have to wait? Been here for over an hour." A man complained, loudly. This making a few of the staff turn around.

"I'm sorry sir, others have been waiting longer." The receptionist explained. "We're undermanned and the night shift staff are in the middle of a shift change."

"I wanna be seen now." He demanded, temper rising he stood up angrily and marched towards the reception desk.

Setting his sister down, he ordered. "Behind me."

Lori rolled her eyes, he clearly forgot that she served her country and had been in face to face combat. But Drew didn't care as he pushed his sister behind him.

Drew, with arms raised walked over to the tall man. "Sir, you're gonna have to-" Quickly and effectively Drew managed to kick the man's leg, causing him to become unbalanced allowing him to grab the man in a choke hold, despite the man being much bigger than him, Drew's enhanced skills made the movement an easy one. "Don't fight it, big man. And one, it's like a little baby."

Letting the man go it was clear that he had successfully sent the man into a sleep.

After warning the nurses and security that it wouldn't be long before the man began to wake he looked up to be greeted with his sister clapping her hands, sarcastically.

"My hero." She mocked before she walked away.

1:56AM

"Welcome to our break room." TC smiled as he shut the door behind the two new interns, Krista and Paul.

"It's night shift only. We come up here on breaks, after shifts." Topher cut in as he ran past the three, hoping to get in on the game of basketball the residents and attendings were playing.

The two interns stood in awe, they had never known or even thought a hospital could be like this.

Clapping his hands together TC spoke. "Here's my advice for your first year. Forget what you learned in med school. We'll show you stuff they didn't teach." He nodded one last time before running over to join the game.

"Still selling medicine like it was your gift." Lori joked, throwing the basketball to TC's chest making him jump back as he caught it.

"If I remember rightly, I saved your ass on more than a few occasions." The ex-army medic joked.

"I think I kicked yours." She threw back, earning a few chuckles from the doctors that had picked up on the exchanges.

TC was about to respond when the fire door opened, revealing Jordan.

"Guys, we got a GSW. Drew, you're up." Jordan called before running back down to the ER, Lori's brother in tow.

Lauren Allister watched her friend carefully, she knew he and Jordan still had some chemistry going on but she also knew that TC struggled badly with PTSD, especially after his brother was KIA. "You still love her." She said. Not a question.

TC smiled, sadly. "We've been over for years now, L."

3:15AM

"Matthew. Can you hear me?" Lori spoke, her voice soft. After break she had decided to come down and check on the young boy who had been severely injured in the car accident. "Hey bud, it's Dr Alister, you remember me?"

He gave her a small yet painful smile, signalling that he knew her.

"Now, Matthew, can you move your hand?" She asked, her voice steady not portraying her nervousness. He couldn't. Taking a breath she asked again. "Move your hand for me, Matthew"

Slowly but surely Matthew began to move his hand. Lori let out a small prayer as she thanked whoever she could, she hadn't expected to be engulfed in a hug from Matthew's parents.

"Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you."

6:09AM

"So...your first shift?" TC chuckled as he watched Lauren pull the scrub top off. He couldn't help but notice the scars, they were still there. They had barely faded. "How'd it go?"

She shrugged. "Ya know. I liked the calm." She joked, a small grin appearing on her face.

TC chuckled, he had toured with Lori, he had fought and bled with her and they still remained close.

"I think I'm gonna like it here T" she smiled.

"Good." He replied, sincerely.

The pair made idle chit chat as they headed out to meet Drew. With Lori's bike a write off she had no way home and Drew had offered to take her and TC to breakfast.

They had just made it to the parking lot when TC caught sight of Jordan Alexander. Catching Jordan's glance, he nodded at Lori signalling he would be back in a sec and he ran over. "Hey, Jordan? Here ya go. The paperwork for your study."

Jordan thanked the man and returned to head towards her car, leaving TC and Lori to make their own way towards Drew who would be taking them for breakfast.

"Hey, you never said why you're here? When did you get out?" TC asked his friend as they began walking, he knew her dream had always been the army so he had been slightly confused that she turned up at the ER as their new surgeon.

TC didn't miss the slight hesitation as the woman struggled over her words, adjusting her shoulder strap. "Uh- well I guess it was time." She shrugged, her features blank.

"Uh huh." TC hummed, knowing there was more than a simple 'it was time'. He hadn't been able to question the Alister sibling when Drew shouted.

"TC. Lori. Hurry up, or you'll be buying yourselves breakfast." Drew called. He was leaning against his truck, waiting.

"Welcome to the night shift." TC smiled. Flinging an arm around his friend's shoulder they headed out.
