The air was thick, and the vibe was tense. Nobody knew what to say, but she hoped they were all on the same page about what the memory detailed. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out, she thought. It's not like it hadn't been in the news in the past, either. She was a notable figure by that point. When she posted about it on social media, news stations got their hands on them quick and ran with the story.
"Well, I can give you another IV, but I obviously can't do PICC lines at your elbows. Could I have your hand?" Oliver finally stated. "I could do my own IV if I really wanted to."

"You know, I really really should. I have a head injury. and it's not like I'm drug seeking or whatever" Alex waved her free hand about, rolling her eyes in the process. "I'm injured. It's different. I'll be off the meds the second my prescription runs out."
"Right. It's just, I might know a bit more about this then you do.." Alex flinched as the needle went into her hand without warning, almost recoiling her hand backwards.

"I became a nurse practitioner when I was in college! It's not like I learned by shooting up. Stop being dramatic." Oliver rolled his eyes and put his hands on his knees. "No offense."
"None taken." Oliver's eyes searched through her green orbs, looking for some sort of an answer in her gaze. "What happened, anyway? It was just the dream? Nothing else?"
"I'm fine, doc. Thanks for the psych questions. I don't need help."
