Trevor came in a bit early for his shift, and made sure to check on Dr. Wilson before checking on the clinic's supplies and the other exam rooms.

Sometime well after dark, Nadia came in at a dead run and skidded to a halt in the lobby. "Is Dr. Wilson here?"

Re: Front Desk

"Yes, he's in Exam 1," Trevor replied, motioning in that direction. "You can go in and see him if you'd like."

Re: Front Desk

If Trevor was at the front desk, and Wilson in an exam room, that had to mean--Nadia took a deep breath. "Do you know what happened?"

Re: Front Desk

[goodtrevor.livejournal.com]

Trevor realized that Nadia might not have known about Wilson and mentally kicked himself. "I'm not sure exactly what happened. He was stabbed, and he's in a coma from an injury to his skull. But he's doing better," he adding in a reassuring tone.

Nadia let out a soft "Dios" at that. She was definitely too late. "When? Is someone with him now?"

Re: Front Desk

"This all happened on New Year's," he explained, glancing back towards the exam room door. "There's another student in with him now - Pippi, if I'm remembering names correctly. But you're welcome to join her if you want."

Re: Front Desk

New Years.

Why the hell would she have a dream about something that had happened days ago? When there wasn't anything she could do? She nodded a little stiffly and offered a "thank you," to Trevor before heading for the exam room.

Exam 1 - James Wilson

Wilson's vitals remained unchanged and he continued to be in a coma and on the ventilator. Other than screwing up the clinic shifts, he was a model patient.

Pippi walked into the room with a small backpack that had something heavy in it.

She looked around to see if anybody else was there.

Re: Exam 1 - James Wilson

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

For the moment, Wilson was alone. There was evidence that he'd been shifted a little by the nurse when she was taking his vitals and to combat potential bedsore but other than that, he remained still and quiet.

Pippi considered waiting for Phale before trying what she was thinking... But...

She took the crystal ball, wrapped up in a large black silk scarf from her backpack.

Well, it wasn't like the Clinic wasn't safe. One of the safest places on the island really. And Phale would probably be along any moment now. Besides it wouldn't hurt just to set up right? After all, the only thing a crystal ball was supposed to do is show you stuff.

Right?

She unwrapped the ball and set it on the bed table. It couldn't hurt to let it soak up the vibe of the place and the person she wanted to ask about. It generally took a while to "warm up" anyway.

She slipped her hand under Wilson's carefully, to let him know she was there.

"I sure hope this'll help." Pippi said placing her other hand on the ball for emphasis.

And as soon as she touched it, the ball lit up in a brilliant white light...

Wilson still stood on the beach his head turned out towards the black water. He was whispering softly, trying to sooth the voices he could hear rising from the water, trying to atone for having failed them.

He was close enough to the water's edge that the sea almost lipped at his bare feet, the cold ocean breeze pulling at the loose clothing he wore in this dream landscape. Gone was the warm breeze from the night before, still for the moment were the voices from the otherside of the dune and Wilson had stopped looking over his shoulder, back towards the dunes, his focus was now on the black water.

Pippi was dressed warmly, she had on her grandfather's shabby captain's coat and the slouch hat Pip had given her for Christmas. She was also wearing his red scarf, which smelled like him. And that was comforting but... She didn't remember asking him to loan it to her and... Wasn't he gone on a trip?

And why was she standing on this sand dune?

She was pretty sure she should probably be someplace else but... Oh hey, there was Dr. Wilson!

She flounced down the dune in his direction, calling his name.

Re: Exam 1 - James Wilson

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

The voice was clearer this time, louder also and Wilson turned towards it with a puzzled expression on his face.

An expression that slid towards concerned when he saw...

"Pippi?!"

Re: Exam 1 - James Wilson

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Hey! There you are." Pippi said smiling at him. "I've... been looking for you... I think?"

Re: Exam 1 - James Wilson

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

[ooc: And now I add italics...in an attempt to keep this from looking too confusing from the outside.]

"I...you, shouldn't be here." Wilson said in a worried tone and he moved away from the edge of the water, attempting to put himself protectively between Pippi and the dark water beyond, least she get to close and hear the voices.

Some time after Pippi had gotten started, Nadia looked into the room, flinching, both at the bright light from the crystal ball (which she'd seen just enough to recognize) and the state of Wilson in the bed, and decided it might be best to go find Aziraphale.

Which she did in a handwavey manner, leading him back to the clinic.

Re: Exam 1 - James Wilson

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Aziraphale had been on his way there anyway, had in fact just left the house when he spotted Nadia. It didn't take more than a look to see that she was upset, and when she explained what was going on, he took off at a run for the clinic.

Hurrying through the door, he stopped short when he saw Pippi holding the crystal ball, and seeming not at all aware of her surroundings.

"Oh good Heavens," he murmured. "She's gone looking for him, hasn't she?"

Re: Exam 1 - James Wilson

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia didn't really understand that statement, so she could only shrug. "She's looking for something. She doesn't usually use that thing unless she thinks it's really important." Her hand went to her neck in her habitual gesture of being uncomfortable. "She might be looking for a way to fix him?"

Re: Exam 1 - James Wilson

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

"I..I'm sorry." Aziraphale looked at Nadia, picking up on her confusion. "I meant...Metatron told me that there was something James had to do, and that's why I couldn't heal him myself. So I thought...he must be locked in there inside his head somehow. And when I saw Pippi sitting there...I thought she might have tried to get into his head as well."

He wanted to dismiss the idea as foolishness, but he'd been in the heads of more people than he liked to count, and something about seeing the two of them there, and that light, told him he was right.

"Do you...have you ever had any sort of experience with this kind of thing? I mean, beyond just the basics that we did in class?"

Re: Exam 1 - James Wilson

[nadiathesaint]

"I've used that ball twice with Pippi. But it was never to get into anyone's head. We did it to try and find out things about Walter, when he went home on a mission and when he was--" her voice choked off slightly, since it had been when Walter was here, rather a bit like Wilson was now, only with less obvious reasons why. "And I saw her use it once in London, when Angel was sick."

Exam 1 - James Wilson - In the Wee Small Hours...

Lana slipped in quietly and went over to sit at Dr. Wilson's bedside again. "You're healing," she said softly, but with some confidence. "I just know you are. And I know you'll be back with us soon. Back with Mr. Aziraphale. He needs you so. We all do."

She touched the side of his face gently and smoothed the blanket covering him, before collecting the book she'd been reading. "Have you read this before? Because I'm getting quite curious to see how it all works out. Don't tell me though," she warned. "I don't want the ending to be spoiled."

She read for a few minutes then stopped. "I have the oddest feeling that I should be..." She shook her head, but shifted her chair so that she could touch his hand lightly as she read.

At one point she might have drifted off for a few minutes, but she shook herself awake and continued on reading through the wee small hours of the morning.

After her shift at Caritas, Phoebe made her way to the clinic to see James. Her eyes filled with tears and a tightness filled her chest as she saw him lying there, so pale and still.

She took a deep breath and she pulled a chair close to the bed and sat down. Taking his hand in hers, she sat with him and started talking to him.
