Alex Walker

Alex was assigned to monitor and check in on Sarah when she first came to the attention of the Silver Ladder. In a rare event of Awakening, which ended with Sarah only being touched or partially awake. Similar to a Sleep-Walker which caused a great deal of hand wringing and squabbling about what to do. In the end with close attention like most things this situation took care of itself, or maybe with the slightest nudge.

Alex immediately could not stand his ward to watch. She was young, inexperienced in the world and guided by passion and emotion. She would not be able to handle the responsibility no matter how noble her personal quest to heal. Woe is me well off brat looses her family and now wants to conquer the world! The world was such much larger and more complicated than she could ever imagine. Was he becoming jaded? Hell no! This was reality and she needed a splash of cold water in the face.

Fuck, what are the odds Sarah was behind this wreck? He felt the weight of reality correct itself, grinding forward with the wheels of balance. He knew at this moment she would succeed or never recover from this. Just a hint of mental words to encourage her. He felt his words failing to reach her, no not failing, falling into the abyss between here and beyond. She was beyond his reach. Even as he watched her paralyzed he saw her pattern flair with incredible power still unguided by skill. Her need to succeed and save, her raw instinct carried her like a storm as she pitted herself against reality, and reality blinked. She fucking did it! He quickly looked around to make sure no one had seen his look of surprise or smile on his face. That would no do, people saying he was growing soft. He would owe as he had bet against her, he always bet against them.

He headed toward St Mary Hospital as he had to get ready to meet his new trainee.
