The two of us went to leave the hospital and I had just pulled out my phone to call a cab only to find out Sam had already texted my dad. Who had come personally to pick me up and was waiting for us to leave the building.

“Hi water bloom get in and I’ll give you a lift.” My dad said after pulling up acting like I had a choice knowing him he’d have had subtly blocked any other way home I sighed and reluctantly got in.

“So drop the act you and I both know I can see through your tricks what is it.” I said not wanting to beat around the bush and really not in the mood especially when the four rabbit sized cars started to follow in a defensive formation.

He sighed and said. “Fine I’m going to give you the next weak off with pay to recover from this ordeal.”

“Oh, come on we both know I don’t need a weak off for this.” I said a little mad that he was messing with my life again.

“No, I don’t know that, but I’ll tell you what I do know. You just got out of the hospital and I know you are a runt whose body by definition is weaker and flawed and I know your stronger and your tougher than most but eventually you’re going to run out of miracle comebacks. I can’t get you to take your health seriously, but I know someone who will at least do the worrying for me. I’m promoting Sam to a personal assistant and granting her the legal power and authority to override you in a situation where you put your own health at risk like you did yesterday.”

That was it his usual response that he needed to protect me no matter what I did all he would ever see was his weak broken and sick little girl that I hadn’t been for a very long time.

“Dad I know you worry but this is going way to far yesterday was just a bad choice I knew mixing medicine could end poorly but.” I had started to say but was interrupted by my father.

“That’s only part of it you also where showing signs of extreme exhaustion malnutrition and dehydration. you aren’t taking care of yourself so I’m hiring someone to do it for you and don’t argue with me on this as you brought this on yourself and your mother even agrees with me on this point.” He said sounding disappointed and mad.

‘Crap now there was definitely no way around it if mom agreed then no one could talk him down well at least he got some one reasonable and I was still her boss, so I guess I can make it work.’ I thought as I looked at Sam in the rear view mirror.

Who looked very confused and uneased at our conversation but luckily for the both of us the hospital was only a five minute drive from my apartment. So thankfully the ride only lasted a few more seconds before we were able to get out. I was so grateful to get out of that car and away from my father and once the last escort car was out of sight.

I sighed and said. “Look I’m sorry about him he.”

“Why” She said interrupting me and sounding worried and looking mad.

“Um what do you mean why” I said feeling very confused.

“Why did you do all of this for me, but you were sick or and according to what your father said starved exhausted and dehydrated.” she said starting to work up a temper, but it was of more of a whining mad then true anger I had to shut it down before it went to far and got out of control.

“Stop stop stop dads making a mountain out of an ant hill. You remember seeing how much I eat I have an insane metabolism that’s how I fuel my body in states of extreme exertion. Like with the fight with the silver back I wasn’t starved just worn out by the fight. I had planned to get a good meal at the iron works then go home and eat more if I needed it I do my best to take care of myself, but it isn’t as simple as eat right and go to the gym for me. I have to try and keep up with a cheetah level metabolism and hope I don’t brake any of the equipment when I go to the gym honestly it’s not that simple and I wish it was but it’s just not.” I said calmly with a sigh as I tried to calm her down.

“But why.” Sam said sounding sad and a little confused.

“Because I was born broken and even with the doctors and may parents best attempt they couldn’t fix what’s wrong with me.” I said with another sigh.

“That’s not what I meant.” Sam said walking off before I could find out what she meant.

“Hay what do you mean.” I said but when I turned around to ask her she was gone. “What weird?
