[h2]Ester Gardner and Josiah[/h2]
As Dr Wilson made his way towards Ester, she contemplated what to say. "Start with the obvious." Ester started in her head. "It's just a graze!" Ester said. "It only stings." She admitted.

"Yes, also not that deep." Dr wilson said, staring at the bloody stain on Ester's right hip. "But it's susceptible to infection." He added.

"Vida's injury is more important." Ester replied.

"She's right, and besides I need to have a little talk with Ester..." Josiah added. Walking over to the door frame, Josiah stopped and motioned for Ester to follow him. She quickly looked at Wilson and rolled her eyes, following him out the door and into the frame, closing the door behind her.

Josiah stopped and propped himself up against a wall, Ester stopping in front of him and looking up. 'Before you get angry at me-'

Josiah quickly cut her off "You decided to go and play hero?" He finished for her.

"What? no!" Ester said "He had a gun, I didn't notice, I barely made it out without a bullet in my thigh." She explained.

"And what could've happened if you got shot?" Josiah pointed out. "The worst thing that could've happened is that we couldn't get you here in time and we'd have a dead Charlie on our hands... and Wilson, will [i]kill[/i] me, and Garrett, and Daniel if one of you dies"

"Give the girl who, by the way had no clue her assailant had a gun, a break!" Ester said rather angrily. "Sometimes you've gotta let up a little bit."

Josiah sighed, pushing his hair back he looked down at Ester. "Wanna know why I'm giving you this talk?" He asked, less sternly. "Because we have to look out for each other, we've all got something in common and we have to care for each other."

"Really?' Ester said "Because you sure as hell don't sound like you care all that much..."

"We care.' Josiah said "I've always kind of seen you, the Charlies, Garrett, Daniel, and Dr wilson as a little family. A weird-ass family with superpowers. You know what it's like to loose someone?" He asked.

"No..." Ester said, slumping on the wall next. "Not really. My mom and dad are still around, so's my little brother... But, I can get it."

"Elaborate, Snow Princess." Josiah said, turning on his side to Ester.

"I've dealt with kids who've lost... Everything..." She looked up at Josiah. "Kids who've lost family, friends, pets... themselves. And it's always my job to find a way to help them. I never fully experienced grief and loss before... But being with the Charlies, I realized I'd be so devastated if something were to happen to them." Ester pushed her hair back and crossed her arms, looking at the ground. "I uh... Take care of this little kid named Zach..." She began, "Only 11. And... he lost everything. His family died in a fire, only one out alive and he was so traumatised by it. Kid can't make friends, because he's scared they'd make fun of him... And he's like the child I never got..." 

"You can't get pregnant?" Josiah asked.

"No... no no not at all... I just... Don't like guys..."

"You're gay?" Josiah asked. 

"Pansexual." Ester corrected "With a fling for girls."

"Ahhh." Josiah said, looking down at her. 

"Anyways," Ester lifted herself off the wall. "This talk went better than I thought it would..."

"yeah.." Josiah said, smirking slightly.

"Also... Don't call me snow princess..." Ester said, smiling and shaking her head.

"Done. Anyways, time to get you checked up..." Josiah said. Ester nodded and walked off back to the infirmary, Josiah smiling after her.
