The lyrics of a song drifted out of Silver's alarm, jarring her awake. She shot up, blinking, blindly reaching over towards the nightstand and pawing at her alarm. Unable to find the off button Silver pulled on the cord until it popped out of the wall. Sighing, she turned back over and closed her eyes.

  But Zero wasn't content to let Silver sleep in. "Wake up Sil... We've got work, I refuse to cover your shift." A manic light lit up Zero's grey eyes, "If you don't get up, I'll reorganize your supply drawer."

  Shoving Zero away, Silver shot out of bed, her legs tangling in her sheet. As she fell to the floor she shouted, "Don't you dare touch my stuff!"

 Zero cackled happily, "You should see yourself."

 Silver sat up, untanging her legs from the blankets, and tossing the tangled sheets back onto the bed. She caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror, her dark blue hair was tangled, hanging down to her waist in knots and curls. Swearing under her breath, she grabbed at a hairbrush and yanked it through her hair.

"What were you doing until midnight last night?"

"Giving reports to Nova Prime." Silver hated lying, and she wasn't very good at it. But she had her orders.

 "Suuure"

Silver threw her hairbrush at Zero, who ducked away, laughing. Grabbing her navy blue scrubs, she pulled them on quickly, then slipped into her favorite pair of black stilleto heels. She grabbed the small metal dish on her bedside table and began clipping her earrings in. Silver hoops ran the length of her right ear, and the other ear had five piercings. Walking through metal detectors was always a pain. Doing her best to tune Zero out, she began french braiding her hair. It took longer than a bun, but it also stayed in for much longer. When that was done, she swiped her lipstick over her lilac lips and grinned at Zero.

 "I woke up late, and I'm still dressed faster than you Zero."

"Yeah well..." Zero visibly struggled to find a comeback. Failing, she simply glared at Silver, "Bite me."

"I really would rather not."

 Grabbing her spare bag of medical supplies, Silver pranced out of the room, heading for her medical ward. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Today was a fairly standard day, mostly checkups and a few minor unjuries. Silver worked as she always did, calmly and effeciently. But her mind wasn't reay on the task at hand, she was thinking about her other patient. The one shackled to a bar in a containment unit. She'd have to head down after work to check on him, but Silver found herself curious about why Nova Prime was keeping his capture a secret.
