Morning Angel Chap. 5

The Mount Sinai Hospital, New York:
Teela slowly opens her eyes and blinks several times to try to figure out where she is. The last thing she remembers is chasing after some guys who stole her special effects truck. She looks around the room, and it slowly dawns on her that she is in a hospital room.

She tries to move, but when she puts a presser on her arm, she feels pain in her shoulder. She stops trying to move and looks around the room. Near her bed, she notices a bunch of flowers, balloons, and small stuff animals. A white envelope is leaning against a flower vase on the nightstand near her.

Teela was curious, so she opened the envelope and read the folded letter. After reading it, she placed it back in the envelope and wondered who had left it. She located the remote and pressed it to summon the nurse.

Nurse Doris hears the alert coming from room 4C. She is surprised that the patient there woke up. She grabs the tablet and knocks before entering.

“How do you feel, Mrs. Falco?” Nurse Doris looks at the young woman.

“Sore, how long have I been here?” Teela knew the time had passed by and how hungry she felt.

“You’ve been unconscious for four days. You were brought in with damage to your shoulders dressed in some costume. The costume looked like it took some damage to the chest area.”

“What happened to the costume?” Teela was concerned about the wings.

“According to your records, a person named Emily Tesla came to claim the wings.” Nurse Doris was surprised by how much information they included in the file.

“She’s my business partner and emergency contact.” Teela was relieved that Emily had the wings. They were valuable and would be hard to replace.

“I’ve noticed. How are you feeling?”

“Sore.” Teela was trying to move very little.

“Well, let me check your bandages and take your vitals.” Nurse Doris goes about checking Teela’s vitals.

Aylin’s House:
“Mom, can I please drive your car to the mall?” Bree wanted to go to the mall with her friends.

Aylin looks up from the dishes she was washing by hand. They had a dishwasher, but Aylin always washed the dishes by hand. That was the way she was taught.

“Who are you going to the mall with?” Aylin knew Bree liked spending time with her friends.

“Amy, Sammy, Carol, and her boyfriend, Tommy.”

“Alright, be home by ten.” Aylin looked at Bree, so she knew she meant it.

“Yes, ma’am.” Bree walks over and gives her Aylin a hug.

“Bye, Angie,” Bree says bye as she passes Angie on the way out of the kitchen.

Angie watches as Bree walks out of the kitchen. She looks over towards Aylin. “Where’s she off to?”

“Off to the mall to spend time with her friends.” Aylin trusted Bree to stay out of trouble.

Angie walks over to the kitchen table and sits down. She loved the dinner Aylin made. She volunteered to help Aylin put away everything, but Aylin told her she had it.

Aylin looks at Angie and notices she has changed clothes and taken a shower. She knew it was rough work climbing, running, and jumping over handrails, building tops, and obstacles, but she and her crew greatly enjoyed it.

“So, what will you and your crew be doing next? Any competitions coming up?”

“We have another one in a few months, so we’ll be practicing extremely hard for it. We’ve been using the train yards for our training. There are many things down there that challenge us.” Angie loved the train yard.

“Ah, I remember the train yard. My crew and I used to use it. Security Officer Crooks didn’t mind us being there.” Aylin remembers when she first arrived in New York and teamed up with Brandy, Clair, Clay, and his twin brother Tony.

“Do you and your crew still get together and parkour anymore?” Angie was curious.

“Sometimes, we do. It’s rare for all of us to be free simultaneously.” Aylin finishes the last dish and drains the water from the sink.

“When are you planning on checking that information I gave you?”

“Sometime tomorrow. Why don’t you tell me why you didn’t want to go home tonight?” Aylin walks over to the table and sits down.

“I told you. I don’t feel comfortable around my roommate's girlfriends. I have never experienced what they have done and can’t relate to it. You
know how crazy my childhood was.”

“I know. What your mother did to you to get back at your father wasn’t right.”

“Or what my coach told me just before he died.” Angie couldn’t believe her coach did what he did to her because of money. She trusted Coach Moore, and he betrayed that trust for money.

“That was messed up. You're welcome to stay here for as long as you like.” Aylin knew her husband wouldn’t mind.

“Speaking of staying here. Do you think Sakura will mind me borrowing some of her clothes?” Angie didn’t bring any of her stuff with her.

“She won’t mind. She’s with her group, training at some secret army base.” Aylin knew where the base was. She had her mom track Sakura’s location.

“Well, thanks again.” Angie gets up and walks out of the kitchen.

Aylin follows behind Angie and cuts the lights off.
