Melting Clock: Quarantine

[cityship]

After Sam Henderson's announcement, the Contagion Containment and Treatment lab was going to get busy. Anyone suspected of being affected by the mysterious affliction would be brought here, and put into one of the large bubbles that would keep any potential contagious diseases in - and the patients themselves. Once in inside, they wouldn't be able to get out again until the Medical staff had cleared them.

And before they could do that, they needed to find out what was causing this - and why.

They had a lot of hard work ahead of them.

"Personally, I think that's kinda impressive. No powers, a choice to stay behind...and you don't."

He shrugged a little half-shrug.

"People like me that don't get scared at all, it's easier that way. Actually admittin' you're scared and working through it...that's harder."

Rory smiled faintly, shaking his head. "Amy was going if I went or not. Not going meant...what...staying home, waiting for news? Hoping something terrible didn't happen to her when I wasn't there to save her?"

People like him didn't admit they were scared, though he had to wonder at this Superman character. It was obvious that Conner thought a lot of him, modeled his behavior after him. But everyone was scared sometimes, even if not for themselves, for the people they cared about. Maybe this Superman just hadn't let Conner see that.

Which was depressing, in it's own way. Not being allowed to admit that you had negative feelings, that you were scared or hurt or sad was just as hurtful in its own way as feeling those feelings.

"I don't know about that, Conner." He looked back down at the chart. "I definitely doubt that."

Subject change. He didn't want to talk about fear and courage and things like that anymore, because every moment he did was another moment he felt like blurting out how scared he was to a stranger.

"Anyway, so tell me more about these adventures of yours..."
