Thel and Lord Hood stood together with the Ship Master, Rtas 'Vadum who had just arrived, outside of Angel's room.

"Able…that name does sound familiar to me Arbiter, but I cannot recall from where." Rtas said as he crossed his arms.

Just then the Doctor from before came back down the hall. She was writing something down on a clipboard.

"Dr. Ruiz, may we speak with you?" Lord Hood asked as he stopped her. She looked at the three of them curiously and nodded.

"Of course; what's wrong?"

"Who else comes here to visit Angelica?"

"Well nobody, Sir."

"Are you certain there is no one else; a Sangheili perhaps?" Thel asked.

"Oh, you must be talking about that big guy; Able I think that's what she calls him. Really scary and intimidating-looking fellow, but he never causes any problems."

"You've spoken with him?" Lord Hood asked.

"Well not really that much. He just asks me how she's been and about her recent symptoms and how long I think she has left.

"He comes and goes without saying much of a word to anyone else. It seems the only one he really talks to is Angelica. I don't know what his relationship is with her but they seem very close."

"Can you tell us anything about this Able; like what he looks like or even his last name." Rtas asked anxiously.

Dr. Ruiz looked down and thought deeply. "He's tall; I'd say around 8 feet maybe 8" 3'. He wears strange black Ultra armor that has red designs on it. He also wears a silver necklace that has a pendant with a strange tribal symbol on it. There's a big scratch across the left side of his helmet across his eye and four scratches on the left chest plate of his armor. Unfortunately, I don't know his last name. Perhaps Angelica could….could….."

Thel noticed the Doctor staring at something behind them. He turned around and froze. Standing there a few feet away was the very Sangheili she described. He was taller than Thel and Rtas and he wore black Ultra armor that had red designs on it. He had a silver pendant around his neck and four scratches across his left chest plate and one scratch across his left eye.

He stared at the group with his red glowing eyes before starting to walk towards them. Thel and Rtas both took a small step back. The Doctor wasn't lying when she said he was intimidating. They both rested their hands on their energy swords as he came closer and closer. Lord Hood kept the Doctor behind him and gripped the pistol on his hip.

The mysterious Ultra suddenly stopped in front of them. "Excuse me…" He said calmly. They obliged and moved out of his way. As he walked past he gave them a small nod and said "Thank you." He stopped in front of Angelica's door and slowly pushed it open before disappearing inside.

The group stood outside and watched him go in. Lord Hood relaxed and let go of the Doctor. "Goddamn, you weren't kidding when you said he was a scary-looking fellow. I felt like I had just met the Grim Reaper." He said to her as he exhaled.

"Yes, that's usually how most of his visits go; he just shows up out of nowhere to visit Angelica then he leaves; scares the hell out of some of my other patients sometimes." She replied as she looked at her clipboard.

"Look, I have to go. Please don't start up trouble with Able. The last thing this Hospital needs is an inside fight."

Meanwhile…

Angelica heard the door open and glanced over at the door. She couldn't see but she could sense who it was and it made her smile.

"Able…"

The Ultra walked over to her and gently stroked her head. "I am here, my Angel." She smiled more and shut her eyes as his hand drifted down and caressed her warm cheek. He then sat down next to her on the bed and removed his helmet. He was a gray Sangheili with golden yellow eyes. He had a scar that went across his left eye. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm better… I was scared for a while though…I thought I was going to-."

"Don't say that… You are strong. As long as you continue to fight and not give up on me, you will live."

She smiled and nodded. Able sighed and looked at the door. "I see that you've made friends with the Arbiter."

"He came to visit with Uncle Hood… He's very nice…" She replied before looking up at him. "Able…?"

"Hmm…?"

"I finished that special thing I was making for you…" She smiled.

The Sangheili turned and looked at her. "What special thing?"

Angelica began to slowly sit up. Able quickly moved and helped her. She reached into her pocket and pulled out something then held it out to him.

Able looked at it in shock. It was a small stuffed doll replica of him. "I'm sorry it took so long…but my illness slowed down my progress." She told him smiling. "Can you come close…so I can tie it around your neck?"

"It is a necklace?"

She giggled at his question and held it out. He could see the long black lace attached to its back. "It's not only a necklace…it's a lucky charm. I'm making one for Uncle Hood…but my progress has been even slower." She told him as he leaned forward.

Angelica reached around his long neck and tied the lace in a knot. She then released the little trinket and it hung loosely from Able's neck. The doll duplicate of him rested just under his pendant. He then gently took the doll in his hand and looked at it. It was well detailed and cute, like a little chibi version of himself.

"Thank you, Angel… I will keep it forever." He told her as he lightly smiled.

Suddenly Angelica leaned forward more and hugged him tightly. He blushed a little but slowly wrapped his arms around her and hugged her back. "Able…can I tell you a secret…about a vision I've been having…?"

"Of course Angel… You can tell me whatever you wish to." He replied quietly.

She loosened her embrace on him and looked him in the eyes smiling. "I've been having this same one for a while now… It starts off with a big planet…It's like a big jungle or something... I don't know what or where this planet is but I've also been seeing numbers. I…I think they're coordinates to it."

"You've been seeing coordinates to an unknown planet?"

"Yes, I've even written them down in my sketchbook you brought me… I also drew the jungle and a multitude of other things from the vision." She told him as she handed him the sketchbook.

Ever since Angelica was little she's had visions. They could range from the past, to the present, and even to the future. The sketchbook was a way for her to record what she saw and heard. Able flipped to the last page that had drawings on it and looked carefully. He noticed a Spartan in one of the drawings.

"Who is this?" He asked.

"Remember how the Arbiter arrived with half of that Frigate missing? I think that planet is where the other half landed."

"…And this Spartan…is the one called Master Chief who was stuck in the other half of the Frigate?"

Angelica nodded and looked down. "My visions always have some type of importance… I think…no…I SENSE that something bad is going to happen soon and we need to find the Master Chief for help."

Able nodded; he knew to trust Angelica's visions and her senses. He used to doubt them but that ended up being a mistake that he deeply regretted. "Can I take this page?" He asked her.

"Please do Able…and tell Uncle Hood about it. I've never told him about my abilities but I know he'll listen and trust them."

He nodded and carefully ripped the page out then rolled it up and tucked it into his belt. "I will go and speak with him immediately." Able paused as he went to get up and looked at Angelica. "I…am sorry that I haven't found a cure for you yet.

Angelica merely tilted her head and smiled. "Don't apologize for something you cannot control."

Able chuckled and gently cupped her cheek with his hand. "I suppose you are right…but I promise you that I will find a cure. I am your Guardian Angel after all." He smiled at her.

Angelica smiled back and gently kissed his snout; something he was used to and secretly liked.

"Don't overwork yourself." She smiled and laid back down as Able put his helmet back on.

"Rest now, I'll be back soon." He replied as he got up.

"Oh and Able…?"

He paused and looked back at her. "Be careful."

"I will do as you ask."
