Dogma

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters except the ones I've obviously made up myself. I'm not making any money from this, 'cause it's purely for entertainment.

A/N: I'm mixing and matching the characters from seasons, and I'm making up a lot about their backgrounds, ages etc to suit me e.g. Carter is an attending, Greene is still alive and Dave wasn't fired (and so on). I'm no expert on medial terminology, so this probably won't contain much real ER stuff.

John Carter fell into the chair behind the reception desk having been relieved of his latest patient. All in all, it was a quiet end to the first shift of his double.

"Excuse me?" A tentative voice came from above him. Carter looked up to see a pretty brunette with a shy smile.

"Can I help you?"

"I'm the new attending; Faith Valentini."

"Oh, great!" He stood up and offered his hand, "Hi, I'm John Carter." He smiled, "You're early" She shook his hand, grateful for the friendliness, "Nice to meet you. I wanted to make a good impression."

He's cute!

"You're doing good so far. Come with me, I'll show you your locker. Have you had the tour?"

"Yes, but I don't really remember it too well," she answered as they walked towards the break room.

"This one's yours. Don't worry; you'll learn soon Doctor Valentini."

"Thanks. Call me Valentini, Val or Faith, please Doctor Carter."

Do not even think about flirting with him. You work together and you've only just got here!

"Sure. Everyone here calls me Carter. While it's quiet I'll show you around. Welcome to County." Faith quickly put her things into the locker, slipped her jacket off and followed Carter out of the room.

A/N: This is a start, I don't know if I'll continue or not. If it's any good so far, let me know and I will.
