Chapter 2: An Unexpected Meeting

The cops managed to chase me for a few minutes as I maneuvered through the city. Once I lost them, I flew home. We live in a two story house in the outskirts of the city. It was big forjust the two of us, but it was in a secure location and it had plenty of room. Hans was constantly bringing women and I... Well, I enjoy solitude every so often. I landed on the roof and brought my wings back in. Then I went inside towards my room. I removed my clothes until I was naked. I looked at my body in a mirror just to see if there were any new injuries that I didn't notice. Scars from bullet and stab wounds lined my body. Two long vertical scars ran parallel down my back from where my wings come out. This was one of the reasons I didn't want to date. Should I ever come close to someone, they'll see my scars and wonder how I managed to get this way. I sighed at the thought.

"Maybe Hans is right. I will be alone forever."

"Yes, if you don't find someone."

I shrieked. "HANS! WHAT THE HELL?!"

"My eyes are closed, sis. I didn't see anything. Calm down."

I scrambled to find my robe or something to cover up. Luckily my robe was in sight.

"You know, Hans, we need to work on your teleportation boundaries. This is unacceptable. The door is locked for a reason."

"Well, I heard movement and I needed to tell you that your phone rang. It was the ER. They need you."

"Me?" I looked at the clock. It was nearly 3 a.m. "But I'm off tomorrow. What do they need me for? There are plenty of skilled doctors."

"That's exactly what I said, but they kept insisting that you go in. The patient wants a female doctor, and you're the only one besides Rapunzel, but she's out on maternity leave."

Great. Now I have to go to work. "Alright, well I better get dressed then. Can you find my keys to the bike, please?"

"Got ya covered." And he reached into his picked and pulled out the keys. He gave them a small jingle before tossing them to me.

"You know me so well. Okay, now shoo. Go call one of your many girlfriends or something."

"And you know me so well." He wriggled his eyebrows and teleported away.

I got dressed quickly in my scrubs and grabbed my backpack filled with my stethoscope, jacket, and some waters. Then I went to the garage, brought out my Harley, and drove off.

It took me 25 minutes to arrive at the hospital. I parked my bike and went inside. Doctor Merlin, an elderly doctor but a wizard with medicine, came up to me.

"Doctor Southern, the patient was brought in about an hour ago. She won't allow any of the male staff to touch her. Apparently she was a victim of a kidnapping earlier this evening."

I stopped short in my tracts. Only one person popped into my mind: the blonde girl, Elsa.

"Doctor, is everything alright?" Merlin asked.

"Oh. Um, yes. Everything is fine. Go on."

"Alright, well it seems that she has a fracture to her left rib cage. Also, a few lacerations on her skull, nose, and wrists. CT scan to the skull does not show any bleeding or swelling. "

"Do you have her chart?"

He handed me the chart quickly and I began reading her information.

"Alright, Doctor Merlin. I got this one."

"Thank you, Kara." He smiled and walked off.

I immediately walked to her room. I peeked through the window and saw Elsa lying in the bed wearing a hospital gown and Anna sitting in a chair by her side. They were holding each other's hand. I knocked on the door and walked in.

"Good morning." I said and smiled. "My name is Doctor Kara Southern and I will be taking over your treatment."

I walked over to Elsa's side, opposite of Anna. "You must be Elsa." She smiled and gave a little nod to confirm. I patted her on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, Miss Elsa. We're going to get you back to normal in no time." I looked to Anna and extended my hand to shake. "Hello. And who might you be?"

She reached for my hand and shook it. "I'm Elsa's younger sister, Anna Frost. Well, I'm actually her only sister. We have no brothers. It's just us. I kinda wish we had a few brothers, but imagine how they would always pick on us and stuff. Do you have any brothers or sisters? You probably do. It looks like..."

"Anna, you're rambling again." Elsa said weakly.

"Oops, I'm sorry. It's a curse." She looked down to our hands. I was too sucked in to her rambling storm to even notice that we were still shaking. She retracted her hand rather quickly. I laughed quietly.

"That's quite alright. And to answer your question: yes. I do have a brother. A twin brother. He works here in the ER as well, but he's off tonight."

"He's a doctor?" Anna asked. She looked interested.

"Yes, he is." I smiled and winked at her. She immediately flushed. Then I turned my attention back to Elsa.

"Elsa, do you mind telling me what happened? Why are you here?"

"Well, my sister and I were having dinner at a restaurant. When we were walking out, I saw a man. He had been following us for some time now. We began walking in the opposite direction when this black SUV drove right in front of us. Next thing I knew, the man had grabbed me and shoved a black bag over my head. I heard Anna scream as I was dragged inside the car. Then they took off. One of them began to beat me. He punched me in the stomach and in the face until I blacked out. The next thing I knew, I was being dragged out of the car and my arms were tied. They threw me on the floor and took the bag off my head. After a few minutes, one of the men returned and began to unbuckle his pants. That's when she showed up."

"She?" I asked. "Who is 'she.'"

"Archangel. She showed up and fought the men. Then she came to me and set me free. She picked me up and brought me back to Anna."

"So you were saved by Archangel. I've only seen her on the news. What is she like?"

"She is kind and strong. When I saw her, I was afraid, but as soon as she touched me, I felt safe. Flying with her was something I never could have imagined. It was amazing."

"I'm sure it was, Elsa." I smiled at her. If she only knew the truth.

"I never got to say thank you to her. The police were trying to arrest her and Silver Blade. I don't know why though."

"Oh those police are always trying to arrest them. People fear what they don't understand, so there's a lot of fear and hatred towards those like Archangel and Silver Blade."

"That makes sense. Too bad the police don't see what I see. Anyway, what's the damage, doctor?"

"Well, I've looked over your chart and the CT scans show that your head is perfectly fine on the inside. No swelling is detected which means that there's no bleeding. On your X-rays, we did find a small fracture on the left side of your rib cage. We will need to bandage you up and place you on strict bed rest if we want that to heal. Your chart also shows that the nurses did an assessment on you, but you refused to allow the male doctors. Will you allow me to do a quick assessment on you?"

"Yes, that's fine."

"Do you want your sister to step out or do you want her to remain? It's your decision. Whatever you're comfortable with."

She looked to Anna and was a bit hesitant. She didn't want Anna in the room, but felt safer with her present.

"A-Anna, can you step out? Please?"

"Of course, Elsa. I'll be outside." She stood up and placed a small kiss on Elsa's forehead before she walked out. I washed my hands, grabbed some gloves and put them on before returning to Elsa.

"Okay, Elsa. If you feel any pain, just let me know and I'll stop."

I was just about to reach for her head when she spoke.

"I'm gay."

I stopped in my tracks and looked at her. "Excuse me?"

"That's why I didn't want any of the male doctors to touch me. I don't trust men, especially after what happened tonight. And Anna doesn't know yet. I haven't told her, so she was surprised when I didn't allow the other doctors near me." She began to cry. "I understand if you think I'm a freak, but please don't tell my sister. Please."

I sat down on her bed and looked her dead in the eye. "You are not a freak." I said sternly. "Don't you ever call yourself that again. Your sexual orientation does not bother me. My only concern is your health. I understand why you didn't want the other doctors touching you and that's fine. I would be shocked if you weren't a little scared of men after what you've been through." I reached up to her cheek and wiped a tear off with my gloved thumb. "You're a beautiful girl and deserve to be happy just like everyone else in the world. Alright?" She nodded and smiled. "And don't worry. I won't say anything to your sister. Anything you say to me is confidential, therefore I cannot say it back to anybody else but you and whoever you allow me to tell."

"Thank you."

I smiled at her and stood up to begin my examination. She began to stare at the wall when I decide to speak again.

"And if it provides any comfort, I'm Bi."

That really caught her attention. I'm surprised her neck didn't snap when she looked back at me. Her blue eyes were wide.

"You're not just saying that to make me feel better, are you?"

"Well, I told you so you could feel better, but it's the truth. Why? Something wrong?"

"N-no. N-not a-at all."

"You're stuttering." I said in a teasing tone.

"I-I'm n-n-not." She blushed bright red. "Crap."

I couldn't help but laugh at the cute sight before me. She was too adorable for her own good.

"Elsa, you're blushing. What's wrong? Do you have a crush on me?"

She kept her head down and said nothing. That only confirmed things for me. She did have a crush on me.

"Elsa?" I called out, hoping to get her attention.

"You're very beautiful." She said. She still didn't look at me, so I took this opportunity to flirt a little. I leaned down to the point where my lips were near her ear.

"So are you." I whispered. I could see the chills on her arms and feel the heat rising from her neck. "So very beautiful."

I touched her cheek once again and turned her head to face me. Our faces were a mere two inches from each other. She was very beautiful, even with her injuries. Our eyes were locked into place. Neither one of us blinked. Her breaths were shaky and I could hear her heart. Her lips had dried blood, but were still a lovely shade of pink. I wish I could just lean in and steal a kiss, but I can't. So instead, I backed away and took her hand. I brought it up to my lips and gave her a kiss. She gasped and grew even redder than before. Even her ears were burning.

"Shall I continue with my assessment?" I asked as I placed her hand back on the bed. With her jaw slaked, she nodded and I began to work.

After examining her body, in a professional matter I might add, I called her sister back in. I left them alone for a few minutes to figure out her care plan. Her fracture is making it difficult to breathe. She was going to have to be admitted, that's for sure. But if I could get her in a room by herself and have Anna distracted, my alter ego can go in and heal her and she would be free to go. Now I had a plan which could be pulled off tomorrow night. For now, Elsa was going to have to placed on the orthopedic floor.
