I slowly made my way over to the cafeteria. Foot by foot, I walked with Marion by my side. The thought of food made me slightly smile. My stomach grumbled at the mention of food and Marion laughed. After a few minutes, we made it to the cafeteria. I found a table to sit at for two and I sat down in exhaustion. Just walking around after the amount of...incidents I've had did a number on my body. So, once I sat down, I waited patiently for Marion to come back with the food. She had understood that I was still tired and went to get breakfast. I sat there staring out into space for what seemed like an eternity. That is until, I heard the squeaking of wheels behind me. I froze, unable to turn around. I rarely spoke to anyone other than Marion.

"Hey, I'm Buddy. I'm across the hall from you." a voice said to me. I slowly turned and there sat a man in a wheelchair. He had long wavy orange hair that stood up on end and had blue eyes that stared at me. He had one of his arms out to shake mine. The other arm rested on his arm rest. But something stood out. His face and hair looked familiar. Then it clicked. The man in front of me was Syndrome, the one that almost destroyed half the city. My heart rate went up and my hands began to shake. Fear rose in my mind. I felt another attack coming on.

No no no! I thought. Why? I asked myself. Buddy/Syndrome still had his arm out. I quickly turned back around and didn't say anything, wishing he would magically disappear. What was he doing here? Thoughts whizzed by in my mind. The villain who tried to kill everyone was in a hospital! But maybe there was a reason? I thought back to his arm and leg. They were prosthetic. Perhaps he got really injured in the supposed plane crash I heard about? I tried to control my breathing and nausea hit me like a soccer ball to the face. I heard the squeak of the wheelchair as Buddy wheeled himself over to my right.

"Olivia! Are you alright, dear?" Marion's voice cut through the air as she hurried back to my table. Once she got back, she noticed my shaking and sweaty face. She knelt next to me with Buddy right there, looking on.

"Olivia, is everything ok?" she asked me. I had enough energy to shake my head. Seeing this, and understanding why, Marion turned to the nurse that was with Buddy and whispered something to her. With a nod, the nurse said something to Buddy and wheeled him away. Again, I tried to get my breathing in check but I couldn't. Before I knew it, dizziness overcame me and I fell to the floor. Darkness greeted me.

3rd POV

Buddy had stuck his arm out to greet the girl. When he did, his mind was screaming at him

What are you doing?! You are the guy who blew up half the city and you're trying to make nicey-nice with a total stranger!

Buddy got a good look at the girl he was trying to meet. Her hazel eyes had bags under them and her face seemed drained of its color. But the one thing that scared him a little was the fact that her arms were shaking. Suddenly, she turned around and sat back down in her seat. Buddy frown and subconsciously clenched his jaw. Fine. Why even bother with her if she wasn't going to talk to him? But his hands had other plans. Before he can stop himself, he wheeled himself over to the spot next to the girl and right when he did, he heard

"Olivia! Are you alright, dear?" a woman in scrubs hurried over to where the two of them sat and knelt down next to the girl.

"Olivia, is everything ok?" the nurse asked her. Buddy cocked his head slightly.

So Olivia is her name! he thought to himself. He remained quiet until he felt himself being pulled from the table. He tried to turn around to see who had the nerve to move him and found his nurse responsible.

"Hey! What gives?" he demanded with a glare. The nurse answered as she maneuvered his chair to another table.

"Olivia was having another anxiety attack. Marion thought it would be best if you were to give her some space." her explaination caught Buddy's attention. It dawned on him that he had caused it. He felt a pang of guilt at the thought but then he shook it off. He didn't want to go soft Even though his evil, villainous days were over, he still wanted to hold his reputation that he was a former villain. But considering he was there to be rehabiliated, that was going to be hard. He still wanted revenge on Mr. Incredible. However, Buddy decided now wasn't the time to do anything about that. His nurse went to fetch him some food and while he had the chance, he looked back over to where Olivia had sat, but found the table empty. A part of him grinned in victory that he scared her away but the other half still felt that guilty feeling, which he shook off yet again. His mind wondered off to his plans for the day and it included finding more information about a specific patient.

Nighttime-Olivia's POV

I couldn't sleep, as usual. Memories from earlier plagued my mind. I glanced at my clock that was beside my bed. 12:00am. My body sat up in the bed and I glanced out my door. No one was there and it was quiet. I blinked, my mind trying to decide if I should try again with my...powers or not.

Come on! Its a perfect time to try! No one's looking and no one to judge. My consciousness told me. I drew in a shaky breath and reached for my phone and headphones. Turning it on, I looked at a song that I knew and hovered my thumb over the 'play' button. Taking one last look outside, I hit 'play'.

Let me take a moment to explain how my powers work. I can create sound waves from music or other sounds. These sound waves can appear in any color. If I listen to a song, I am able to create a physical wave of sound from the beat, melody or rhythm of that song. Anyways, I listened to the song as it began

All alone as you look through the door

Nothing left to see

If it hurts and you can't take no more

Lay it all on me

Looking at my hands, I concentrated on the music and melody, picturing waves of sound.

No you don't have to keep it on a locking key

'Cause I will never let you down

And if you can't escape all your uncertainties

Baby I can show you how

All of a sudden, a blue wave danced and pulsed in my hand. I tilted my head in wonder at the sight of it. It seemed to pulse to the beat of the song. Truthfully, this was the only the third time in my life that I had used my powers.

If you're hurting, if you're hurting

Lay it all on me

Buddy's POV

He stared out his room window, thinking. He couldn't find out anything on Olivia, not even her last name. Each time he asked about her, the answer was "confidential". 'Confidential' his butt. She was different from the other patients he saw and met with. This girl excluded herself from everyone, not speaking. It reminded him of his younger self, when he was unable to make any friends in school. As he tried to go back to sleep, Buddy heard music coming from across the hall. At first, he irritably growled at the noise, but then, did a double take. He realized it was coming from Olivia's room. He slowly turned towards the clear-view window and looked across. He saw Olivia awake and more surprisingly, she held a pulsing orb-looking thing in one of her hands. She held an expression of wonder and awe as she gazed at the orb. Buddy could still hear the music he heard before.

If you're scared when you're out on your own

Just remember me

'Cause I won't let you go, let alone

Lay it all on me

She's a super. He thought. Then it clicked. That's why she was utterly scared of him before. He mentally slapped himself.

Great job, Buddy. First attempt of being nice, and you scare a teen super away. You might as well still be a villain! He growled to himself. No. He had learned that being a villain was not what he wanted it to be and going back to it would only make things worse. He gazed back at the girl who had now fallen asleep, the pulsing orb now gone. He turned away from the window and closed his eyes to fall asleep as well. At this point, the only two things he needed to work on right now was apologizing to the girl and trust. And he would try to do that tomorrow.
