What is Owed

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn was no longer stuck in the infirmary bed and more importantly not dead for that matter and that was thanks to three people really. Zoe for making the call, and the two on call staff that had basically saved Devyn's life. A woman by the name of Ceanna Riggs and a man by the name of Jason Campbell. Devyn owed them both a great deal of thanks and past that for some many things outside of just saving her life. She wanted to thank them both one on one and face to face. A letter or leaving some phone call was not going to do in this case. It was taking a bit of work to be able to find out where the two staff worked specifically. The On-Call Doctor at the school was Ceanna Riggs, who Devyn still had to meet to thank but also for a checkup like Guy had suggested. Then Jason Campbell worked in town at the clinic. Just the word clinic made a uncomfortable chill go up Devyn’s spine. She really did not like any hospital type places at all and didn’t want anything to do with it. However she had no choice, sure she could have called him up and arranged a meeting outside of his work, but if she was really up to the challenge of thanking him and paying him back then she should have been able to handle going to his place of work.

I hope he does not want to do a checkup, then again… Devyn thought to herself as she made her way to the clinic. Having already called yesterday to set up an appointment with Mr. Campbell himself, saying that he was the only person who could help her with something. She did not really like being dishonest, but she figured it was the only way they would make it seem important enough and towards something specific that only he could handle. She didn’t even know what he looked like, just his name; which she was going to call him Mr. Campbell unless she told him otherwise. Devyn would not lie that she was a little nervous about this all, since she did know of him since she had been here at the school for a while, but she never really talked to him. Plus it was pretty intimidating to go want to thank a guy that saved your life. Even if he was just doing his job, he had still saved her, and Devyn had been taught that when someone did something like that, you owed them something big in return. Maybe not being able to save their life in return, but anything that they asked of you, that you were able to do, you were supposed to do it.

She was in full on respect mode, even dressed up somewhat, wearing a nice pair of pants, a button up shirt made of a nice breathable cotton, and a red tie. She even made so to comb and brush her hair down flat and out of her face. Sure she could still pass for a male, but a well-dressed and looking like they were about to go to an interview male. Devyn took a deep breath for a moment as she stood outside the clinic, trying to give herself a pep talk in going inside. Alright, just do it. Get in, say what you have to say, and then run…or well try and linger a little bit. Devyn told herself as she went inside, going up to the counter. “Hi, I’m here to see Mr. Jason Campbell. I have an appointment in a few minutes.” Devyn said to one of the ladies working at the front desk, tempted to lay on the charm, but had to focus. Being informed to go wait in a specific area why they called him up and he would meet her and handle things from there. Devyn gave her thanks and moved to grab a seat in the area where she was told, looking down at the ground and gripping at the chair a little hard.

[Jason Campbell]

It was not unusual for people to call and ask Jason specifically. It could already be considered hard to get a doctor, but a mutant doctor... Even if Jason came back only a year or so ago and agreed to work here in Kalispell, he had a lot of work thanks to that. Not to add that his power was actually healing. So not only he studied and knew mutants and their specificities, but he was also a regular doctor and if all of this didn’t work, well he just had to put his hands on you and you’d be fine. That resulted in a lot of work but Jason never minded. It also helped his research on powers a great deal. And now that he knew Ceanna Riggs, the doctor on call at Bellefonte, was also doing it, he would call her from time to time to compare their work.

Yesterday, the clinic got a call from someone who asked for him specifically. She was lucky to get a spot this quick, really. Anyway, people rarely minded when someone asked for one doctor in particular. Many would do that, as they were used to one and didn’t want to repeat everything to another. Jason didn’t ask for her name or anything, he just accepted and let the receptionist give her a space in his schedule.

He was still with another patient when she arrived but was informed his next patient was there. As soon as he was done however, he let his patient leave, scribbled a few notes in her file, then he left his office to switch the files with the one of... “Devyn Solway,” he called out. When his gaze met with hers, he recognized her immediately. Of course, he couldn’t just let out that’s you in the middle of the waiting room but he clearly recognized her. He wondered what she was doing here. A checkup, maybe? He would have thought she’d stick to Dr Riggs as she was at the school and so a lot closer, but who knows. Ceanna didn’t call him to warn she was sending her, right? Oh well. He’ll have the answer soon enough. He returned to his office, stopping at the open door to let her come in before he’d close it behind them.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn could not really sit still as she waited for Mr. Campbell to be done with whatever he was doing. She had to wait. He was a busy guy after all. He had to be with having worked for the 'normal' people who lived in the town and to help out with some of the kids at the school. They did have Miss. Riggs, and Devyn would have normally gone to her if she had a major problem or anything. No, really she would avoid going to the infirmary if she could help it, but she still needed to see Miss. Riggs in order to get her checkup and to thank the woman. Mr. Campbell could do the checkup, if he had time or wanted to, but she was perfectly fine just coming here to say thank you. Deep breaths. It's not so bad. Just the possibility of needles, the smell of death, and needles. Devyn thought to herself, thinking needles twice since that was her biggest problem. No issue with blood or people being in pain or even death all that much.

Needles and medication, they were the issues. She did not like needles at all; just the idea of something being poked into her skin for whatever reason was unpleasant. Then medication had always tasted horrible, plus she had a very bad experience with medication when she was young. Thanks to that woman. Devyn thought for a small moment before pushing the thought out of her mind. Just in time to hear her name called out. It was always nice to hear her full name, mostly the last part since; it was her dads last name, obviously. She rose to her feet and tried to walk over to him, but it was more of a sprit because the sooner she got to him the sooner she could get out what she needed to say, and get out of there. "Mr. Campbell...or is it Dr.?" Devyn asked as she got close to him, following close in step as he led the way to his office. Devyn rubbed at her father's ring on her hand the whole time, unable to help as she practically looked everywhere to make sure no one was going to jump out and try and stab her with a needle.

"Sorry for bothering you when you are so busy, but I had to come thank you personally." Devyn said as she practically sprinted into his office as soon as he opened it, giving a nod of thanks in his direction. She could not help but to rub at her father's ring and look around his office. Taking a deep breath to calm herself and try not to think about the fact that she was in a clinch with pills and needles. "I didn't really get to see you when I got...hurt, but found out your name and wanted to come see you as soon as I could." Devyn said as he green eyes went to look at him, taking in his looks. Pretty handsome. Wonder how old he is.

[Jason Campbell]

Despite being relatively new to the medical world, in comparison to his silver-haired colleagues, that is, Jason still saw many kinds of patients. Those that came in a hurry at the smallest sign of a cold, certain it would be pneumonia or something worse. Those who hated hospitals and had to be dragged here almost by force when they should have come days sooner. Those who came only for the attention they could get. Yes, there were many kinds and you could generally tell just by the way they came to you in which category you would put them. Devyn, for example, seemed nervous and almost ran to him. Obviously she either feared a bad news or she really didn’t want to be here. Considering he had not done any tests on her to diagnose any bad news, the answer was the latter.

“I usually go for doctor here but you can all me whatever you like,” he said. Not that it would matter much. He had the white blouse, he obviously was the doctor here, whether she called him so or not. When she started to apologize, he was ready to stop her. She did make an appointment, she was not disturbing him or anything. But he was the one stopping before he could even talk when she said she came to thank him. He arched his eyebrows, slightly surprised someone would take the time to actually come here to thank him. You sometimes had a note, or a call, or they’d come between two patients just to say thank, give an update and then leave.

He closed the door and walked to the desk, placing her medical file on it before sitting down. Yes, she would not recognize him as he was out cold when she got stable and then left her in the capable hands of Dr Riggs. “Yes, I did recognize you’” he said although it probably had been obvious earlier when he saw her in the waiting room. He should have realized with the name. Devyn. It was an unusual name. But it was not exactly what he recalled the most out of their encounter.

He still couldn’t believe she came all the way here to thank him. He sure appreciated it but it came as a surprise. “You didn’t have to come here to thank me but I’m happy you did and that you’re fine’” he began to say, checking at her. She sure was able to talk and breathe on her own. And she managed to walk to his office. “You were able to recover entirely, no numbness anymore?” he asked her. Hey, since she was there, he might as well make sure there was no second effect to that paralyzing kiss she got from her girlfriend.

[Devyn Solway]

"Dr. Campbell it is then." Devyn responded with a nod since he had said that he went by Dr. here so that was what she was going to call him out of respect. The whole 'call me whatever you like' bothered he a little when people said such things. People had names for a reason and they should have known what they preferred to have people call them by. Plus if she was being literal and in a bad mood she could have called him Doc. J.C. if she really wanted to. However, she would not since she was not in a bad mood and didn't have a problem with Jason. He saved her life, helped out Zoe in a way, and he seemed like a pretty nice guy. Even if he was a doctor who gave people medication and probably gave a few shots here and there. She just had to not think about that, shove the thoughts out of her head. That was proving a little hard however with them being in a place full of two things that Devyn did not like at all.

They entered her room and Devyn did jump a little at the sound being closed behind her, only because she was a tad bit paranoid at the moment. Chill, he is just closing the door so we can talk and stuff in private. Devyn thought as she took a deep breath and then chuckled a little on the inside at a bad thought that came to her mind. Something along the line of a bit of role play and 'doctor I'm sick, can you check here for me'. No more shows like that for me. Devyn made a mental note and shook her head to focus. It was either dirty thoughts or fear; her brain was basically trying to make her pick one while she was trying to focus on why she was even here in the first place. "Oh good, well yeah…I'm Devyn and you saved my life." Devyn said after he said that he recognized her, which made this easier and less awkward if she ended up talking to the wrong person or someone who did not even remember saving he life. He saved her life, which was what he did, not matter what he thought he did or if he was just doing it for his job.

"I did. Sending a thank you letter or just leaving a phone call to thank someone who saved your life is kind of...weak for lack of a better word." Devyn said, running a hand through her hair as she started to pace a little in a short line around the area where she had been standing. "I could not breath, everything was black. I could have died, but there was this odd feeling on my neck. Something I figured was you’re doing based on what Zoe told me." Devyn said as she stopped to look at him, her green eyes serious, because she did owe him a lot, even more than just saving her life, but also because he helped Zoe out. She nodded a lot, because even if there had been something wrong there was no way she was going to let him no and let herself get checked out again. She really was fine. "I'm alright, more so worried about Zoe. The school and the students have been...well I'm sure you have heard about it. Plus then because of me the stupid blog girl made a post on the net and..." Devyn stopped, taking a deep breath and just dropping it for now before she would lose her cool and her emotions would get the best of her.

"I really came down here to let you know that I owe you a debt, one that I intend to pay back. So you can think of me whatever you wish, but if there is anything at all that I can do for you, just tell me. Anything, I don't care what it is and I'll try not to ask too many questions to what you ask of me to do. I just...I have to pay you back." Devyn said, practically thinking about kneeling down as if she was some kind of knight ready to serve, but that was not really her thing, but she really did owe him. Didn't matter what he asked her, so long as it was something pretty significant she give it a try. It had to be significant however, in both his eyes and her eyes because she was not just going to copy papers for him and call it even.

[Jason Campbell]

Yes, sure, technically, Jason had seen Devyn before. But she was lying on her back, unable to breathe let alone walk or talk. So this could also be considered their first encounter. Especially since she never saw him the whole time as, with the help of Dr Riggs, he helped her breathe again. Now he could have a proper look at Devyn, size her up, personality wise. He did notice how jumpy she was when all he did was to close the door behind them. Somehow, he could almost hear her something along the lines of: you’re nice and all so no offense, but I hope I’ll never see you again. Man, did he know that line, no matter how you’d say it! He knew it was not directed at him personally, he hoped so, since he saved her life and all. But some people were not very comfortable being in a medical establishment. They went there too many times before, for themselves or to watch others. Might even have lost people while they were at the hospital. Yeah, he knew how it was. Well, he supposed now he would have to calm her a little.

He had a small smile at the way she introduced herself. Yes, he did know what he did for her. He wasn’t sure she knew how much it asked of him but Jason would not tell. Perhaps he should be more careful. It mustn’t be good for his heart to beat so slowly every time he healed someone, especially then as he passed out on the hospital bed. But that was his problem and he didn’t want Devyn to be concerned about it. Not like she could do anything anyway.

He had to admit though, he was surprised by her attitude. Sure, as she said it, just sending a thank you note for what he did might seem very little in comparison. But that was still what most people did, when they even bothered to thank you, as it was your job after all. People always seemed more inclined to blame than praise you. Jason was tempted to ask Devyn to sit down but she didn’t seem ready to do so. He nodded, a tiny sigh escaping his lips when she talked of her experience. “You can say I have the healing touch, quite literally. Apparently, the effects did not go as far as your heart but it was important your throat was freed from it,” he explained. He didn’t want to go into the medical terms about it, especially since he’d have to explain more in details what he did exactly and how he did it. The most important was that she started to breathe again.

Devyn nodded a lot in response. Jason still wished he could just see him for himself. Wouldn’t be much, just make sure she was breathing right, make her wiggle her fingers, test her strength, that sort of things. He frowned however when she mentioned a blog. Jason was not really into reading blogs. And he found the idea of writing about what happened, what she did was absolutely foolish. You don’t expose their community like that! “I’m sorry for your friend,” he said. He should probably say girlfriend. He had no problem with that, none at all. But sometimes, it was so hard to know what kids considered themselves these days. This one was a lover, this one a friend you occasionally sleep with, this other one a fuck friend as you only see for that... It really was enough to confuse anyone.

Jason was to be surprised again. Did she realize just how dangerous her words might be for her? She was lucky Jason was not that kind of man. “You don’t owe me anything. If you really want to be grateful, try to be a little more careful next time. And if you don’t want a checkup now, make sure to have one with Dr Riggs at school, just to make sure,” he replied. He’d never ask anything out of her. He wouldn’t be able to deal with himself, if he used her like that just because she considered she owed him anything.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn didn't have a problem with Jason at all, know if she met him any other way she would probably flirt with him like she did with everyone. Well first she had to find out if he was in her seven year rule. If he was not, then she would be pushing it too close to breaking the law...even if she had in the past and recently anyways. Heck, the saying went, if you were not getting what you needed from 'home' then you would go out to get it. Devyn pretty much lived by that little code, well lack thereof a code. Yes she had standards...and her mind was getting off track. Focus. This stupid clinic should not be throwing you off this much. Devyn scolded herself as she ran her thumb over her father's ring and worked on taking a few more deep breaths to get it together.

The smile Dr. Campbell did put Devyn a little more at ease, smiles meant good, or that someone was up to something. Could Jason been up to something? Did he lock the door and actually had some needles and medication hidden away to use? Had she fallen into a trap? Alright, so Devyn was still panicking and her heart was starting to beat a little faster as the shadows in the room seemed to twitch a little. Even if Jason had asked her to sit down, she was going to remain standing, at least for a little longer as she walked back and forth a few times. Making sure to keep track of her breathing and getting her heart to settle. He is not planning anything. Everything is fine. Get a grip. What are you three years old? More self-scolding as Devyn went still and looked over to Jason as he basically talked about his power. So that was how she was able to live. A power like that...well it was a life saver and had to have had a hefty cost. At least she assumed it was, just being at the school for three years and meeting other kids she picked up on the stronger the ability the higher the negative backlash.

"Well your healing touched saved my life and it was your choice to use it and for that I am in your debt." Devyn said in a serious tone still as she looked at him, green eyes conveying that she really was serious and not just messing around or giving empty words. "A power like that has to be hard for you in some way. You don't have to talk about the details if you don't want to, but I'm pretty sure it has to be costly to you in some way." Devyn said, figuring it could be something like really bad headaches or even passing out, but these were all guesses and she was not sure. It was more so a mix of a gut feeling and having met many different mutants while she was at the school. Devyn gave a small nod to Jason's apology to Zoe, even if he had nothing to apologize for. Devyn was not even really bothered with him calling Zoe her friend, because he might have been uncomfortable saying girlfriend and she was not going to force him to or anything. "It's my fault and she is the one who is receiving all the negative looks and being watched." Devyn said as her hands tighten into fist, before she slid them into her pockets.

Devyn knew how dangerous her words were, she had used them before, but it was still rare. She meant it. She would do anything that he asked in order to pay him back, so long as it seemed of significant value. Devyn shook her head no at no to the first part of what Jason said, and a little to the whole getting checked out. "I do owe you..." Devyn looked down at the whole be careful part, well that was not so easy to do. It he had said that it was his request to not touch Zoe at all or what have you involving being a little more careful she could try, but she need to be basically order or to know that was what he really wanted. "It might be best if you both check me out honestly. Since you healed me and she helped. Plus, it’s like getting two reviews which is always better than one. What do you need to check?" Devyn asked, her green eyes still looking down at the ground. A mix of wanting to run because checkups were bad but also knowing that she had to stay had to find out what she could do. "I have to pay you back." Devyn said after a small moment, eyes looking back up at him, her voice serious and firm once more.

[Jason Campbell]

If only Jason knew what Devyn was thinking right now, he’d be the one paralyzed. Beyond the fact he would never touch a patient, at least not while considering her a patient, she was obviously too young. She must be half his age. But he supposed some girls like this. Well, they liked older celebrities, might even dream of doing things with them. But Jason was not a celebrity, he was not famous at all. He would be uncomfortable should she ever try to flirt with him. He’d try to see the innocence in it but honestly, all he’d think of would be the total illegality of the act.

Of course, Jason had needles and medicine around. It was only natural to have such common medical tools close at hand in an examination room. But it was obviously not necessary to use any of those on her. Although a little sedative might do her good as Jason started to feel unnerved, watching her pacing back and forth. He knew some people didn’t like clinics but this was quite a reaction.

He nodded, granting her this point. He supposed she was in his debt as he could have decided not to use his power. Ceanna did caution him not to, as he was weak to begin with. But he didn’t need to tell her that. He’d rather tell no one about it. Nothing bad happened, he fainted out of exhaustion at some point but was much better now. There was no need to talk about it any further then. But she felt the need to talk about the downside of it. He sighed. She could easily find out he could barely walk on his own after healing her, he was even surprised no one talked of it around the school. He thought he should minimize it then, so she wouldn’t feel like she nearly killed him or something. “It did drain me but to be honest I was a little tired to begin with, having worked two shifts when I got the call,” he conceded. It was not just the healing that had him faint, this also played a part in it and he would not let her think otherwise. “Well, at least you are supporting her. She will need that,” he said, just glad to move the topic from his power to Zoe.

He had a little smile. The girl was tenacious. Being careful didn’t seem enough for her. She still maintained she had to pay him back. But at least she was ready to do a checkup. “I’ll just make sure your reflexes are good and that you breathe fine,” he said, standing up and walking to the center of the room, where there was an examination table for her to sit down. He gestured at it just to further make it clear she should join him. He got a stethoscope. “Can you lift your shirt a little and breathe when I tell you?” he asked. This shouldn’t scare her too much, right? He decided to drop the whole ‘owing’ thing for now. With a bit of luck, she’d forget about it too.

[Devyn Solway]

Sedatives would have done Devyn some good, it would get her in a nice and calm state, problem was getting he still enough to actually sedate her. She probably would actually risk trying to break out a window and kick down a door if she really could not get it together enough in order to get a shot or being given medication. Sure it was a bit extreme, even more since she was not locked in the room and could easily open the door, but it was kind of a fear, which made her do drastic things. She was pretty sure that she was going to have to be treated like a wild animal when it would come to getting medication or a shot. Meaning brute force, some form of trickery, or bringing in a tranquilizer. When was the last time she had her shots? Three years ago when she came to the school, for sure. Oh, right! She had them at the end of last year as well with the help of her father, who had figured out a way to help Devyn with her whole medication and shot issue. He was dead however, so there was no one able to keep her under control enough for anything like that, she would just deal with being sick.

"Are you doing better at least?" Devyn asked after he informed her that he did feel a bit drained after. Drained could mean many things, drained as in tired, or like drain as in he himself almost died. She hoped it was the first one and not so much the second or her guilt would be worse. Even if the guilt might help a little. Maybe some more guilt would make her think on her actions and less on doing whatever she felt like doing. Or it could make her shove away any and all temptation, that was possible as well. She did hear a lot of talk about the whole event, but she honestly tried to not pay it any attention and just lived like everything was normal, and in a way it kind of was. "I'm trying to." Devyn said simply to Jason's comment about supporting Zoe, which Devyn felt like she was doing a good job at. She would do it for a friend as well, so it was not really that hard to do it for her girlfriend.

"Al...Alright. Just warn me if you are going to be pulling out any needles or any pill shi...stuff." Devyn managed to stop herself and watch her language. You could not curse in front of a doctor, could you? She felt like she should not, well really she felt like she should curse less in front of all adults, unless they said a 'curse word' first. She looked over at the table and let out a small growl as she got closer, as if warning the examination table that it better not try anything. She hopped up on it and lifted up her shirt like he had asked. Pleased that today she wore a sports bra today and that she was in shape, which brought a smirk to her face. "Does my body look good?" Devyn asked, not fully flirting but she could have been hinting at it. It just fit in the situation since he was checking to see how she was doing so it was a legitimate question, waiting for him to tell her when to breathe so she could do so.

[Jason Campbell]

Jason gave Devyn a reassuring smile when she asked if he was better. There was some irony in asking your doctor how he was when obviously you had been the one in need of medical care, and that you were the one putting them in that state in the first place. But she didn’t ask to wear him out like this. “Oh yes. It was nothing some rest and food couldn’t solve,” he replied. He knew it was not entirely exact. But if his power was to take its toll on him someday, it would not be because he helped her to breathe. She would definitely not be the one to blame, or at least, not the only one. He did make sure his heart was fine and it was, so in Jason’s opinion, he had nothing to worry about and neither did she.

He nodded as they mentioned Zoe. He was trying to help her as well. So far, it was not conclusive, but he had just started. Rome was not built in one day, this would require time and patience. In the meantime, having people like Devyn supporting her instead of pointing the finger of blame at her would help. “No other incident happened, not even on a lower scale?” he asked. He hoped not, but he did feel the need to ask.

He smiled again, this time slightly amused, as she tried to control herself. So she hated needles. Yes, he knew a lot of people didn’t like those. “This won’t be necessary. I just want to hear your lungs and test your mobility,” he assured her. No needle needed there. The closest of a needle would be a light pointer in her eyes. Not nearly as scary, right? He did not comment her question. He did get that kind of joke on occasions but replying, especially in her case, he found it a little inappropriate. “Just inhale please. Exhale,” was his only reply to this.

Her lungs seemed fine and after making her breathe a few times again, he pulled away. “You can pull your shirt down now. Any numbness still?” he asked her as he kept examining her, this time with the light, watching her pupils. “No problem walking, eating, talking?”

[Devyn Solway]

"Good." Devyn responded, letting out a relieved sigh of sorts since she had actually been worried there. It would be her fault if something happened; then again a lot of things were kind of her fault. Devyn was basically a walking fault. Hey, none of those thought. Devyn scolded herself as she pushed such thoughts out of her head. Those thoughts should have only been around when she head the whispers while she used her power. She was not using her power; there were not whispers, so she should not have been hearing such thoughts in her mind. This was nothing. Jason was fine, Zoe was fine, and she was fine. There was nothing to worry about, no need for negative thoughts. Even if deep down Devyn was still feeling that way about it all, she was just going to shove it to the side like she normally did with things that made her uncomfortable. Not healthy, but it was what she did and it worked her for the time.

"Not really, no. Any time we have gotten close to keeping contact longer then I should have been something [b[always[/b] interrupted."[/font] Devyn said being fully honest and did not even hide the fact that she was very upset about said interruptions that had happen in the past. Yes they had been good because it kept Devyn from getting hurt at locations that getting help would have taken much longer and probably would have killed her. She still was not happy about it either way. "I was pretty good at knowing how long I should keep contact for, but it gets kind of hard when both parties want something, you know?" Devyn asked as she gave a small shrug, not going to add to the fact that Zoe practically held her in place because Devyn could have shoved her off if she tried. Devyn didn't try, that was the problem. She let desire overrule logic and that was why they had the issue that they did.

Devyn gave a small nod when he said that none of that would be needed, which did make her ease up a little more. He did not answer her question, which she kind of figured would be the result. Didn't hurt to ask. She gave a soft chuckle before being good and inhaling when he told her to and then exhaling again when told to. Even if she really didn't like being told what to do. Small orders seemed to bother her even, but not enough to cause her to growl, just feel a slight twinge of wanting to go 'i do what i want'. He didn't say anything bad when he pulled away and told her she could put her shirt down. Part of her wanting to leave it up or just take it off completely, but she lowered it like she should have. "None at all. My sex drive has been weird, is that a symptom that I should be worried about?" Devyn asked, holding back a smirk. It was an honest question however since she didn't feel as up for the actual activity when it got to that point, but she still did it.

The light in her eye made her wince a little, since she was sensitive to light even if it was not real light. Pupils immediately going small as she blinked a few times and reached up to rub at them. "Ow and everything is pretty much normal." Devyn responded as she moved a little where she was sitting, shadows twitching in the room. "Can I ask you something? Like...advice wise?" Devyn said suddenly as she look at him but then shook her head no and started to chuckle. "No, never mind. It was nothing. Keep with your test." Devyn said as she took a deep breath and remained still.

[Jason Campbell]

Jason didn’t mean to hear about a teenage girl’s sexual life, or even her lack of, but the conversation seemed to have taken that turn. He doubted he was the best placed to talk of that. He had no real opinion on the matter. As long as they didn’t want to have sex with him, he couldn’t care less what teenagers did with whatever was in their pants. He was ready to consider them real idiots if they forgot protection for whatever reason. But he was ready to think that out of anyone who accidentally end up pregnant. That was not the matter at hand however and Jason tried to take from Devyn only the fact nothing unfortunate happened and forget everything else. He nodded while mumbling something that could be taken for him understanding what she meant. Still, to choose between Devyn and Zoe having sex and resulting in something bad or not letting them have anything and both being safe, he knew what he’d choose. But he was not involved and surely Devyn didn’t want to hear his opinion on the matter.

Jason remembered Zoe’s visit. He was still trying to find a way to efficiently neutralise her power, even just for a time, or at least to stop it once it struck you. But so far he still needed to do some more research. He didn’t mention it to Devyn however. The whole patient/doctor policy. That and he didn’t want another to get overly excited when he didn’t know if that could work.

He paused a moment as she gave him another risqué comment. He knew they were behind closed doors and no one could hear but he’d rather not play along with her. He just had to do like he did whenever JJ tried to flirt with him: turn him down with light sarcasm. “Unless your symptom is you don’t feel anything at all, I think you’ll be fine but if you want to test for STDs, I got scrubs ready,” he replied. He wondered if she’d keep her smirk with that answer. Maybe it was a little rude. He generally was nicer with patients.

He frowned a little as she winced to the light. “Are you photosensitive?” he asked. He was not expecting that kind of reaction after all, more for her pupils not to react at all should there be a problem. He was about to ask her to wiggle her fingers and make a fist but she asked him something. As he looked up at her she shook her head and asked him to forget about it. “What is it?” he asked, not ready to let it go. Usually, when he got people talking like this, they had an embarrassing health problem they weren’t sure they wanted to show, even to a doctor. He was used to it and so waited patiently for her to tell him what kind of advice she wished to get out of him.

[Devyn Solway]

Well, Devyn didn't know how old Jason was so she could not rule out the possibly of wanting to get to know if he had any skills in the bedroom. Her rule was up to seven years apart, because after that point she just felt like it was way too illegal, even if it already was with her being only seventeen years old. Still, Jason had this rugged yet very clean and sophisticated air about him. Devyn could appreciate that, must have meant that he had some skills, plus he was a doctor so he hand to know where to touch and the like that would feel good. She did expect some kind of response about her and Zoe. Maybe some words like, stop touching Zoe, or something along those lines. Jason didn't give her anything, which made Devyn wondered if he was okay with it or just didn’t think he should waste his breath with Devyn on such a subject. Would she have even listened if he told her? She thought she would.

Devyn didn't have any clue about Zoe and Jason's little meeting; unless Zoe told her and then she forgot. It was not any of her business anyways, and Zoe was free to do as she liked and get her checkups or what have you. If she did know that Zoe was looking for some kind of cure, well Devyn would not really know how she would react; so it was good that she did not really know anything. Devyn’s jaw dropped a little and hung there at Jason's words. Not only did he not play along with her little comments but he brought up the whole having things here is she wanted to test for an STD. Good, one. Devyn thought as she had to give him that point; Devyn equaled zero and Jason equaled one. "I still feel everything, it’s more of not being as up for it as I normally am. Plus I have no STDs, I'm clean." Devyn said with a sort of grumble in her words, a mix of bitterness because of the defeat so far. She was just going to have to step it up to get a reaction out of him now so they were at least tied.

"Very. My mutation is over shadows, so I don't really do so well with real or artificial light." Devyn explained as she rubbed at her eye a little more, not angry with him or anything, because she should have told him that when he said he was going to take a look at her. Her eye just burned but she could still see and it would be fine after a moment or two. She shook her head no again as he asked what it was she was going to tell him. "Nothing. I forgot." Devyn said, which was a lie and she was not really a liar, but she could do it. Feeling that right now it was necessary and still blaming it on the fact that her eye had been bothered a moment ago for her almost moment of weakness. Yet here was a perfect time to try and get back at Jason for his comment. "You might want to do a full body checkout however. I have been feeling a bit sore and I think I felt a few lumps, should I be worried?" Devyn asked, trying to cover up the certain tone in her voice, but she could not help but to smile a little as she looked at the doctor. "Need me to change out of this and slip into something a little less, covering?" Devyn asked, dropping her voice a little lower as her smiled turned to more of a sly grin.

[Jason Campbell]

If only Jason knew what Devyn was thinking about him right now, he would thank the Lord he was no telepath. While Jason saw nothing in Devyn but a patient, a teenage patient, the girl was sizing him up. Sure, Jason did that too, but clearly not as much as she did. He mostly focused on the way she moved, how she handled herself and the way she spoke to him. The last time he saw her, she could not even breathe on her own so of course he was curious what this girl was when actually able to stand on her two feet without any help. That was purely medical however. He needed not to read her file to know doing more than that would be illegal, the simple fact he was called to help her out at the Academy was enough for him to get he should never touch her. Not that he meant to, mind it. At least, not in any other way than he was right now, during a very non-sexual medical examination.

He knew his little comment about STD was indelicate. Some people were quick to get offended over words and, in the end, he knew very little of Devyn. She might have said it on a somewhat joking tone but meant it seriously. Besides, Jason didn’t like to sound like a bastard, at least not in front of people who knew him enough to know better, which clearly was not her case. Another thing that might happen would be to scare her at the thought of having something terrible. Luckily for him, she didn’t act in any of those ways. “Well, I’m afraid it’s something natural. Libido comes and goes,” he said. He tried to look quite busy with doing anything else but to talk about her libido right now however. Sure he had been a horny teenager once, and it was not all that long ago, but he would very much prefer not to debate on the subject.

Jason took note as she explained her mutation involved shadows. He should definitely write it down later on, for his personal files. “I’m sorry. Would you rather have me turn off some lights?” he asked her. He could easily keep one or two smaller lights on and turn off those on the ceiling if it was better for her. He waited as she rubbed her eyes, staring at her, looking for any sign this might have burned too much.

He also waited as she refused to tell him what she meant to ask him earlier. Jason had the feeling it would come back eventually. For example, when he’d be about to leave the room as she would think this was her last chance and she weighed the consequences between speaking now and remaining forever silent. Great, now he sounded like what the priests say during a wedding. Instead, she talked of soreness and lumps. He didn’t know if she was serious or not, but he was here and he was a doctor. He simply could not ignore that. “Where have you been feeling it? Does it happen often?” he said, ready to check her up as she asked. The sly grin did make him hesitate but he knew he had to check. Maybe she was making him waste his time, and surely doing it on purpose, but he swore to heal people, not to simply dismiss them for being cheeky.

[Devyn Solway]

Man this guy is tough. Devyn thought to herself as Jason had remained pretty much unaffected, at least on the outside. No blushing, no stammer, no loss of train of thought; nothing. She really was going to have to step up her game to get something out of the doctor. It had become her goal, her objective, and she wanted to get at him some way. So far he had managed to keep things simple, not going to her little teases and hints. He had gotten back at her with the little STD comment, and she was fueled to get him back. No she was not really offended, more so challenged. She felt like he had challenged her and egged her on to go on ahead and give him her best. Jason's words made her chuckle a little, mostly because he mind was in the gutter and what he said had set it up perfectly.

"Oh it comes indeed, mostly for others." Devyn's words just kind of slipped out, and even she regretted saying them. That was just, a super dirty joke. Sure the word still could actually mean the whole coming and going, but the way she used it...she did feel slightly bad. Yet, with no regrets since it was already out there she watched Jason closely to see how he would react to that. She did understand that libido did come and go, it just seemed to be doing more going for her of late, which was a tad odd, but she would deal. Maybe she should end up taking a break from sex all together...how long would she last? She was tempted to ask more about libido since he was a doctor and an adult, surely he had some tales of his own, but he was busy. Or at least he looked busy so she did not want to bother him too much, for now anyways. She waved her hand dismissively at Jason's apology.

"Don't worry about it. My side effects are not spazzing out today and you didn't have the light there long." Devyn reassured him but shook her head yes to him diming some lights. It would help her eyes feel better faster and she just liked being in dimly lit rooms or the dark since she could see in the dark. She blinked at him and gave him a thumbs up when he seemed to be staring at her. Devyn currently was planning on sticking with remaining forever silent. She was not one to really talk about her problems, and didn't see the point in doing so now. She should have, there was still a small chance that she might, but for now she was going to pretend like she was never going to ask anything and focus on instead getting Jason bothered in some way. Which seemed to be failing as he was remain a good doctor and being very doctor-ish about everything. She let out a small sigh.

"The lumps things were more of a dirty joke...with the whole you know, lady lumps." Devyn confessed, but the whole being sore thing was true, but she figured that might have been because she was training a bit more than usual and when she was sleeping around it was with the rougher partners. "The soreness is on and off, but it’s most likely my fault and nothing to do with the whole Zoe and me event. Sorry for making it seems like other wise." Devyn then apologized, looking down at her hands, because heck he was not bending yet.
