I looked behind me when she said 'boys' and saw the little kid known only as William. Wow this kid really does get around.

"Can I speak with you Rain?" After a moment's pause I added, "Alone."

Rain seemed relaxed more now that I mentioned Ivar's name. She nodded and the nurse walked out.

"Go wait in my car William." I said to the boy. He looked unhappy but complied. I closed the door behind me and stepped closer. I felt her body in turmoil as I stepped closer.

"What happened to you?" I asked. "Are you one of us?"

She gulped, obviously hesitant. I interrupted her, "Alex has been here."

She nodded, "How do you know that?"

"It was a guess," I explained. "He came to visit me as well. I turned him down and he tried to kill me. You are in a much more public place and therefore that was not an option for him, but he'll be back and even if he isn't there are others who would have detected the same electrically anomaly that brought me here. You have to leave as soon as possible."

"Okay?" She looked slightly distraught.

I turned to her and looked her in the eye, "I promise I won't intentionally cause you harm, ever." I had to add, "Unless it is in self defense, against you. Just trust me okay?"

That really seemed to help her trust me. She didn't look worried at all. She probably should have I didn't actually prove I had magic and if I didn't my word would be as worthless as a politicians.

"So where should I go?" Rain asked.

"Your home of course," I shook my head. "You should be safe there and if not," I handed her a small device with a button and a second smaller device. "Swallow the small device, it won't hurt you in any way. The first one you need to push every hour or the other one will send out an untraceable, unstoppable, undetectable signal to me and I'll come get you."

I walked to the window, " You seem like a good girl Rain, keep it that way okay?"

She stared at me out as I donned my armor and stepped out the window, now flying. I yelled in the window, "Oh yeah and if you press it twice in a row I'll come running, well flying."

I flew to the ground, got in my car and drove off, She doesn't talk much, but I guess I didn't give her much of a chance.

(Better?)
