"I'm not sure that answers anything," he said, quirking an eyebrow at Iada, but avoiding eye contact. He noticed himself looking past her towards Amelia, but forced his gaze elsewhere.

"Okay hun attention on me, I have the bigger chest here," Iada said a little annoyed as she cupped Christian's chin in her small had and made eye contact with him, "Hehe, this is fun he keeps looking at you like he did in class when he thought no one was looking," Iada thought.
Amelia snickered, "And you of course caught it, have fun with him, and watch it he's ticklish under his chin," Amelia smiled, "Hey is that steak, I'm like mondo hungry mind if we crash?"

Christian pulled his head back, holding back a smile as Iada brushed against his chin, "Careful, I'm ticklish there!"
He looked back inside, "What, here? I don't know. I've only got the one bed..."

"I've been taught sharing," Iada grinned fluttering her eyelashes at Christian, "Have you?" she said in a lower tone as Ameila snorted, "What?"
"Laying it on kinda thick aren't you?"And amelia cover the smile that crept on her lips as Iada gave her the middle finger, "Shy thou aren't blue maiden."

Christian pushed himself gently away from Iada, "Don't worry," he said cautiously, "I can crash on the floor."

Raphael called Iris on his cell phone durring the long ride back from Ohio. Though in the east it was not the same...you could drive across three states in as many hours, not like out west where Raphael was from.
"Hello Iris, have a bad day?"
Raphael had called, hopeing her day had been better than his, but knew it rarely was when she was at work on short notice. Maybe he would take her out to dinner, maybe he would take all of them out to dinner, to help himself forget the friends he had lost.

Iris blinked in surprise as her cellphone rang and quickly dried her eyes and opened the little device.
"Hello Iris, have a bad day?" Raphael's voice rang in her ear before she even said hello.
"Oh hey," Iris said clearing her throat so she didn't sound like she was crying, "It's been alright I guess, for emergency call. How about you?" she asked comforted a little by a familier voice.
"Oh being proper is no fun," Iada said rolling her eyes.

"not as well I am afraid to report, I had to examine the crash of a shuttle, five of the astronaughts were people I had gone to school with, friends of mine." Raphael sighed. He had asked the other guy to drive again, and Raphael had bought him lunch earlier for driving.
"Maybe we should go out to dinner tonight" Raphael said to Iris, trying to brighten the mood.

"Oh Raphael I so sorry," Iris said shaking her head and for the hundreth time that day she wished that she could be in one hundred places at once. But not even a Guardian could do that, "Dinner sounds great, do you mind picking me up at the hospital?" she asked trying to sound cheerful.

"I can handle that, I just have about an hours worth of stuff to take care of here in the office. I will call you when I am close to the hospital."
Raphael smiled. The company car pulled into the office building and the two of them got out. The younger gentleman shook Raphael's hand and asked that they work together in the future. Raphael had a knack for this line of work and the young gentleman wanted to learn as much as he could from Raphael. Mainly Raphael did design work and outside consulting, but unfortunatley from time to time he was asked to review an engineering failure. There was a lot of paper work in volved in such an act, and the other guy would file his own report seperate from Raphael's. As Raphael entered the office the boss came up and appologised, he knew Raphael had known the astronauts, and was sorry he had asked him to go. Raphael smiled weakly, but excused himself to go back to his office and finish his report.

"Alright take care," Iris said and hung up her phone and leaned back in the bench and looked at the sky.
"So big date?" A voice nearby said scaring the bejezzus out of Iris. Iris looked over to see one of her co-workers she was friends with, Kelly.
"No, just dinner with an old friend, nothing serious," Iris said as her cheeks flushed.
"Yeah sure, so who is this guy?" Kelly asked sitting next to Iris.
Iris shook her head and smiled, "it's not what you think, Raphael's an old teacher of mine, and a good friend, we look out for each other," she said.
"Uh huh, sure," Kelly said and began humming "Don't stand so close to me," by the Police.
"Stop, he's like a dad to me," Iris laughed, "I did have a crush on him while he was my teacher, but those days are over. Both of us are too focused on our careers for anything that silly."
"Anyway, I live a boring life give me all the juicy details tomorrow at work," Kelly said getting up, "Gotta go I'm working the front desk."
"See yah, oh hey when he comes looking for me can you direct him to the Cancer Ward, I have a few more things to do before I get out of here," Iris said getting up herself and heading for the Ward.

Christian's lips formed a bewildered smile, "It's one thing to sleep with someone on the first date, but I haven't even taken you that far yet... Iada, was it? If you wanna crash here, I'm okay with that, but my bed isn't big enough for three."

Ellen came out of her apartment and stepped out onto her balcony in only a baggy sweatshirt and some running shirt. She had been up most of the night writing. "Hey sup you guys? Christian more groupies I see," Ellen yawned and took a sip of her hot chocolate.
Iada snorted, "Who said anything about sleeping with someone else. I just like sleeping in warm bed thank you very much," Iada said hoping up onto the balcony's railing.
"Just ignore her Christian, she just likes the sound of her own voice," Amelia said a little dryly and brushed a strand of dark hair out of her eyes.

Christian looked at Ellen, and remained silent, only shrugging in mild confusion, mouthing the words 'help me'.

"Don't look to me for help, I have no idea what to do when it comes to relationships, you know that as well as anyone," Ellen said before taking another sip.
"Well, I'm going to go exploring, have fun you two," Amelia said before jumping from the balcony and landing on the ground before and made her way to town.

Iris entered the Children's Cancer Ward, and looked around at the children who were sleeping restlessly. Many of their beds were adorn by blankets Iris had made that were infused with healing magic. But Cancer was hard to cure in these cases, all the abnormal cells had to be destroyed and the normal cells had to be kept healthy, not even magic could heal it sometimes.
In a corner of the room was the old harp that Xavier had bought for Iris when she was a student. As Iris sat down and began tuning it she remember all the good times she had with this instrument. Then she began to play the music spell she used to help the children heal as they slept. The music was gental and calm and many of the children settled into a deeper sleep as the music washed over them.

Raphael called Iris as he neared the hospital, but her phone was turned off, she must be on the floor he thought. Raphael pulled up to the hospital and parked in the lot. He was dressed rather professionally, and had a short cropped haircut. Though he had not shaven in the past three days, and it showed. He walked into the hospital and up to the front desk, "Hello, I am looking for Iris?" The woman at the desk was quite helpful, but kept trying to insinuate things, it was strange, but Raphael shrugged it off. Iris was in the children's cancer ward. He didn't know how Iris could cope with that, all the time. Raphael was on the right floor, and headed for the room, but was quiet, the children were sleeping. He got to the door and stopped, a melody was playing from the room. It was beautiful, it was hard for Raphael to just stand there and listen.
((did not open door))

Iris closed here eyes and just let herself feel her fingers fly to key to key. It was rare that she got a moment's peace, but when she did she enjoyed every minute of it. Why she had become a doctor was beyond what most people could think, but as much as Iris liked being alone she also liked helping people. And maybe helping children, helped the pain of her not planning to get married or have children of her own.
Not that she didn't want any, she just couldn't see herself as a good mother with all the responability that had been placed on her shoulders.
Suddenly Iris felt another presence outside the ward's door. She opened her eyes and smiled a little seeing Raphael standing in front of the door just listening. Iris shook her head, she never thought he'd be the type to enjoy music so much. But there was alot about Raphael she didn't know about.
Iris stopped playing as one of the children woke up and wanted a drink of water. As Iris held a cup of water up to the child's lips she motioned for Raphael to come inside. She was a little embaressed that she was dressed in her lab coat and hospital scrubs. Not to mention her hair was a mess in a bun that she had throw it into before she had rushed to surgery.
But she had always taken for granted that Raphael didn't judge her by her looks like most people did.
