Kat's P.O.V.

I shifted on the uncomfortable, crinkly bed I was laying in.  Where am I?  I opened my eyes and I blinked at the bright lights that flooded my vision.  There were yellow walls and a red boarder, but I couldn't remember how I got into this room.

I sat up and coughed into my elbow, and noticed that I was in a white and teal surgery gown. Why would I be in a surgery gown?  What happened last night?  I remembered flashes of last night, but I couldn't follow anything.  I remember being locked out of my apartment, talking to Chief, walking to my room in the hospital, and....the rest is a blur.

"Ah.  You're up.  I'm glad you've finally awoken, you've been out for about a day now."  My eyes darted to the corner of the room, where a man was seated in a blue chair.  He had light brown hair, caramel eyes and rectangular glasses.  He wore a doctor's coat and a blue scrubs underneath with the Caduceus embroidered in gold thread on the chest.

"Um..."  I trailed off, not knowing who this guy was.

"Oh!  Excuse me, you must be wondering who I am.  Well, I'm Derek Stiles, I work at Caduceus U.S.A.  and I specialize in unknown diseases and strange outbreaks.  Last night we received a call saying that a doctor collapsed for an unknown cause, and when being operated on, the disease was unidentified.  I was sent to check on you and, if givin permission by yourself and Resurgum, to have you come back to our center in California."

I didn't know what to say to Derek, this was all so much to take in.  I had no idea that I had collapsed last night, and to discover that I have an unidentified disease, it's just so...shocking.

"When I recover, if I were to go with you, I will not be treated like a patient.  I'm a doctor, and whatever this disease is, once it's cured, I will save lives again, understand?"  My voice was clear and Derek nodded his head in agreement.

"Said like a true doctor.  Now, Kat is it?"  When I nodded he continued, "Well, Kat, you can consider yourself a part of the staff of Caduceus U.S.A."

A grin broke out onto my face and I shoved the sheets of my legs and stood.

"Well Dr. Derek Stiles, when do I leave?"
