Times Hand

The year was 2050 when nuclear war broke out, billions of people died within the first year alone, and the world as people knew it was completely gone. Scientist from the countries of America, Britain, Germany, and Japan got together to attempt to find a way to prevent mutual destruction from the war. When they came up with the answer. If humans couldn’t live on earth we would just have to live on the closest choice, the moon. Of course just because we had left didn’t meant the radiation didn’t affect us before we left.

End of the good times

An hour later there is another four medics and all are normal medics rather then healer ability medics and only thirty minutes after a student is brought in with a gouged out leg wound and many burns on his torso from a energy gun. From that point on it is officially all hands on deck and bit by bit more students are brought in for healing due to injuries clearly caused by military grade items.

I held get the items and hold things while also pushing beds and cleaning up as the trained medics heal those they can while patching people up as best they can for those too severely injured.

By nightfall their has been nearly a hundred students that have been brought in for harsh injuries and the soldiers have brought many less injured ones into the base area so even more injured that we will treat once the situation calms down. 

I can hear fighting every now and then where the attackers get close to our current camp but are stopped by the soldiers protecting us, I eat dinner and finally get a rest as the medics finish the last of the emergency patients while I am no longer needed for the other ones as their is nothing I can really do for them without my ability.

Waking the next morning I leave the tent and head to the cafeteria set up sometime last night for rations to be more uniformly passed out, I see many people already here eating and several airships transporting supplies and people in and out of the military camp.

I see no one of the injured from yesterday so assume they have already been shipped out when I enter the medical center to a empty area.

I am sure they will evacuate us all by the end of today and will continue to fight until either all the enemy is caught or they run away, I can see many people talking among each other trying to know who leaves next and how the exam will be scored now that it has been interfered with.

I leave on one of the last ships due to being a medic and being left until they could no longer keep me, entering the hanger from the ship and returning to the training hall to work off some steam from this latest situation. Their is only about ten people here others probably sleeping from the harsh situation and trying to get as much information about the entire situation.

The ten where all older students and seemed too not have been influenced by the events even slightly as they all had calm and relaxed looks to them, three of them are even laughing and joking around as though nothing happened.

I begin practice ignoring them by until 30 minutes before lights out and gathered my water battle to head back when one of the girls laughing around earlier approaches me, she has light brown hair that almost looked red as well as glistening purple eyes. "You are the new healer that got in on ability alone, right? I heard you helped out even during the fighting and where one of the last to leave. Do you know how the school found out about the attack so quickly when no one could get in contact after the attack occurred due to a device interference field."

I look at her and decide it is better to let it get out through me what occurred rather then the rumor mill.

"I scrapped myself on one of the blades in the hospital so in order to prevent hygiene problems tried to heal the wound but couldn't make my ability work and I immediately called the school using an outdated phone that ran on electricity so they couldn't interfere."

I see the girl smile and turn around, returning to her spot next to a boy and another girl she talks with them all of them seem to laugh at whatever she said.

I go back to my dorm unimpeded falling asleep quickly.

Next day is all about filling out reports and saying what one was doing at the time of the attack as well as how they aided so as too help assign merit to those who helped, then more working out and so everything returned to normal.

By the end of the month I am through the fourteenth course in the required time and working on the fifteenth course.

Slowly time turned and my place in the school remained that of a neutral healer and all assignments where done as the schools healer, I am now 17 and have completed all 20 of the obstacle courses but remain alone due to my lack of taking sides.

My graduation and eighteenth birthday approaches and I have already received a paper on my placement, 3rd squadron of the anti-terrorism legion, the worst position one could get.

The 3rd squad of the ATL is known for the useless and troublesome people, the dregs of society who are mutants so need to be put in the military but no one wants, there is even rumors that past terrorist who betrayed their organizations are in there. 

My life from this point over is all down hill.
