"Is this really necessary?" I asked as Cedric helped me into a wheelchair so I could finally leave the hospital after two days.

"The doctor said it was, so yes, it is," Cedric laughed as I huffed and crossed my arms over my chest.

Even though I had healed faster than the doctors expected, despite them knowing about my super soldier genes, they still instilled that I be pushed out of the hospital in a wheelchair and I quote 'just to be safe'. Dad on the other hand was allowed to walkout even though his injuries were worse than mine. But at the end of the day, the both of us were happy to get out of the place. Cedric and I were due to go back to Hogwarts in a few days and Dad just wanted to get out of Washington as much as I did.

"But it's just humiliating. There is nothing wrong with me! I've been worse off after being hit by a bludger but Madam Pomfrey did make a fuss like these doctors are!"

"It's only for a few minutes and then you can walk out the rest of the way."

"Fine, let's just get out of here," I said, pulling my bag off the bed and on to my lap.

"I don't know if I'll ever get used to all of this," Cedric commented as he pushes the button for the elevator and looked around the hospital ward.

"Used to what? The technology or the difference in medical treatment," I asked, laughing as he looked at EMT who walked past us with their full kit which included a defibrillator with a look of amazement on his face.

"Both, some of this stuff would really make a difference at St Mungo's. I mean, can you image it they those z-ray machines," he said, making me laugh more when he got the names mixed up.

"It's called an x-ray machine. But they really don't need it when they can heal bones in a second," I pointed out.

"I guess, but it's still amazing," Cedric said as the elevator doors opened and he pushed me in.

At the same time my phone rang and I knew it was Mum straight away from the personalized ringtone so I picked it up straight away.

"Hey Mum. Where on our way down now," I told her as a doctor quickly ran into the elevator as the doors were about to close and knocked my bag off my lap.

"We're still at admissions signing the release forms, so we might be a little bit longer," Mum said before switching to Norwegian so no one could understand what she said next. "Legene stiller spørsmål ved din raske bedring og prøvde å ordne opp.*"

"Hvorfor? De vet at faren min er Captain America, og jeg har super soldatgenene.*"

"De sier at selv med genene dine, burde du ikke ha grodd så raskt som du gjorde. Men ikke bekymre deg, Loki er tilbake fra Asgard og på vei til å takle det.*"

"Okay, see you soon then. Love you," I said to her, swapping back to English

"Love you too, Princess. Hopefully we won't be long."
