Walking into the infirmary, Willow's body tensed at the familiar sting of antiseptic in the air. She exhaled slowly, trying to clear it from her lungs.
Approaching the counter, she offered the nurse a shy smile. "I'm here to visit Indigo Scathe."
"Oh, okay. Let me check you in." The nurse returned the smile, her fingers tapping across the keyboard. A moment later, she looked up at Willow, her smile widening. "You're free to go in."
"Yeah, thanks." Willow nodded, then turned down the hall and stepped into the elevator that led to the Ascendants' ward.
She hated being back in this building. But the thought of Navian's team was enough to push the infirmary out of her mind.
What if I actually join his team and we work together? she wondered.
But doubt crept in just as quickly. If she joined his team, would they really help her with what she wanted to do? Or would they just waste her time?
