FTEC, Sunday Evening

There were people in the clinic tonight, which was a change from recent weeks, though not really a pleasant one. After a quick check to make sure everything was all right with the patients, Stark settled in at the desk. The TV was on, out of habit, but very quietly.

Marie was napping after her busy morning of visitors.

[I'm guessing since Jamie's player hasn't been on that it's safe to assume Jamie's still sleeping in her room...]

Zuko was still weirded out about the amount of visitors he'd received during the day. And the gift. He liked his gift so the book was carefully put to the side of his night table as he finally gave in to his body's need and went back to sleep.

After her afternoon nap, Marie decided she needed to see for herself that Zuko was okay, so she snuck out of her room and down the hall to his. When she saw that he was sleeping, she turned around to leave, but tripped over the chair and nearly fell, making enough noise to wake him up.

Zuko startled awake, the heart monitor showing a jump in his heartrate as well. His fist was aimed at Marie, but he quickly lowered his hand as he realised who it was.

"You're alright," he said, the statement quickly followed up by another. "What happened to your hair?"

"Sorry!" Marie said. "I wasn't going to wake you." But since he was awake and she was still kind of weak, she sat in the chair she had just tripped over. "I'm okay," she said. "Just tired and sore. And I'm not really sure what happened to my hair. Possibly something to do with the electricity from the lightning?"

Zuko leaned back against the pillow, his body finally getting over his surprise and reminding him that it didn't like sudden movements very much. "I've never heard of that before," he said, absently rubbing at his IV as he kept watching her as if he expected her to vanish any second now.

Marie shrugged. "Unless it had something to do with me getting your powers for a while. But you don't have white hair."

After seeing Kira off safely to her bus, Conner had finally gotten a chance to catch up on what he'd missed the past week, including everything he'd missed yesterday. One particular bit of news from the radio podcasts had him off to the clinic in a hurry.

He'd missed the early crowd, it seemed, which was probably good.

"Hey," he said quietly as he slipped into Exam 1.

"Hey," Marie said, rubbing her eyes and sitting up.

"You could firebend?" Zuko asked her surprised. "But it takes years to learn."

"Well, I sort of didn't get a chance to try," Marie admitted. "I absorbed some of the impact of the lightning strike from you and it knocked us both out."

"Well, at least you look like you're -- whoa, dig the hairstyle." Conner stuck his hands in his pockets and leaned against the wall. "When'd that happen?"

"Last night," Marie said. "Still not exactly sure how or why. I'm thinking from the jolt of electricity."

He vaguely remembered someone touching his arm, but he hadn't really known who as the pain from the lightning had been too intense. "Why did you do that?"

"I wanted to help you," Marie said, looking down. "I'm sorry though."

Zuko looked at hair and he couldn't blame her for being sorry for helping him. "I'm sorry you got caught in my problems," he apologised.

"I'm just sorry I fell for your sister's act," Marie said. "What she and your father did to you is horrible."

If she hadn't mentioned his father, he might have let the remark slide. As it was, his eyes widened. "What did she tell you?" he hissed.

Marie frowned. "She didn't tell me much of anything," she said, not realizing that he didn't understand how her powers worked.

Zuko frowned back at her. "You mentioned my father."

Conner whistled. "I'm really glad you're okay," he said. "What exactly happened?"

"Well, yeah, I got the memory of him giving you your scar," Marie said.
