Headaches Are A Common Thing

Something about them gets her lost in a personal sea of beauty, the sky cloudless and the breeze fluttering her hair. She wants to reach out, to take his hand and reassure him that she’ll be fine, but she knows she’s not. The headache that is coming is a sign of her power usage. It is not that she used it too long, but that she has not used it in some time.

Perhaps she will leave after giving the doctor her thanks. She does not like being cooped up inside a building or underground anyway…
