Superheroes VS. Super Villains (A Collection)

Robert, the first. (History)

“Is he still there?” The agent asked softly.

The doctor nodded. “He won't leave.”

“Will he be ok?” the agent asked with a sigh.

The doctor shrugged. “Physically? There’s nothing wrong with him. Mentally? I don’t what goes on. He doesn’t seem dangerous, to himself or others, and he doesn’t seem to need any special care, so technically he’s alright.”

“Technically, but we both know he’s not.”

The doctor nodded. “But, as a doctor, there’s nothing I can do.”

The agent peeked in. “Maybe the FBI can...”

FBI agent Angela Carmichael walked in. “Robert?”

The 10 year old boy glanced over. “Hello.” He said simply before turning back around to continue staring out the window.

“What are you looking at, Robert?” Angela asked softly.

“The window.” He said simply.

“The window? What is so interesting, about the window?” She asked softly.

“Someone fell out of it.” He said, without even flinching.

Angela was slightly startled. “Um… how do you know that Robert?”

“I can see it.” He said, finally turning to look at her. “It was a little girl.”

“Can you tell me about the little girl?” Angela asked, trying to get as much information as possible.

“She was 6. She had pretty blonde hair, all curly. She had a pretty dress on. She was playing and fell out the window.”

“Is she ok?”

Robert shook his head. “No, she died.”

Then looking around the room again he said “This room is different now. It’s white. It used to be brown. This was the little girl’s playroom.”

“You said you can see it. How do you see it Robert? Did you have a dream?”

The little boy shook his head again. “I don’t dream. I was sitting here, and I just saw it. She was playing with some blocks, and a toy horse. Her mother must have been cooking, because I could smell good food. She got up and made the horse run around. It was a black wood horse, and she called it Charley. Then she tripped on a block and fell out the window. She screamed and her mother ran outside. She called the doctor and he came and said she was dead, but I already knew that.”

Angela was amazed at how detailed the boy’s vision was, if it indeed was a vision. “How did you know she was dead?”

“Because her face left.” He said simply, before turning back to stare at the window.

“You mean, her face was scratched from the fall?” Angela asked.

Robert didn’t say a word.

“Robert? How did her face leave?” Angela tried. Still nothing.

“Robert? Robert, will you please talk to me?”

Robert looked back at her. “What did you say?”

“Can we talk about how the little girl’s face left her?” Angela tried again.

Robert looked confused. “What little girl?”

Angela stared at him, slightly shocked. She wasn’t sure if she should press the matter or not. She decided to leave it be for awhile, and go check the hospital records. Perhaps it was just a 5th graders’ imagination.

Outside she saw the doctor.

“Anything?” He asked.

Before answering she asked him “Was this building always a hospital?”

The doctor shook his head. “No, it was built in the late 19th century as a home for a rich lawyer. It was used as a nursing home for wounded soldiers during the first World War and converted officially to a hospital in 1918. Why?”

“The lawyer who lived here? Did he have a family?”

“Yes. He had a daughter, but she died very young. Her deaths softened their hearts to open their home to the soldiers.”

Angela nodded. “She fell out of the window, didn’t she?”

The doctor looked confused. “She fell from a high place and broke her neck. I believe it may have been from a window in the house.” Then he suddenly understood. “Did he say that?”

Angela only nodded, not focusing on anything. This was unnatural, unheard of. This child couldn't know these things, it wasn't possible.

"What are you going to do about it?" The doctor's voice broke her concentration.

She took one last glance back through the window. Robert was staring at the window. He hadn't moved since she left.

"I don't know. I just don't know."
