Stability. It was something very important to River. It was necessary. Calm. Patience. They stole her childhood. Her ability to filter things out. She had her good days and she had her bad. Being stuck in the medbay for over a week? That tended to lead itself to the bad side of things. The teen hated it in here. There were too many reminders. But she was dangerous. The weapon had come out and they couldn't trust her. Because Mara was still here. Luke. So she was in isolation. Nothing was wrong physically but mentally? Something was very wrong.
John had been the first to go. Four days. But he hadn't been there. Not really. Shouldn't be there and so he left. Everyone was calmer now that the ghosts were gone. No more taunts. No more pain. No more questions. But John left and Anatoly took over. He reminded her of Simon. The patience. The calm. But he was pulled in all directions. Elena. She had been Anakin's mate, his dopple. But she went home all broken and trying to hold herself together. So it was River and the Russian doctor. They played chess. She liked it. It focused her mind, focused his. It started because time needed to be passed. It was turning into more. Because he read the board like she read people. And she needed to find out the secret.
But then the blond came in. Kimberly. Anatoly wasn't allowed to come in anymore. Because he was exhausted and his family needed him. Family. Her family was mismatched. And not here. Simon was gone. Zoe. The Captain. Luke and Mara tried but they were distracted and she was alone.
She hadn't given much of a response. Merely repeated Kimberly's words. Not coming in for a week. And now there would be a cycle of 'doctors', people who didn't understand. She may not have screamed, may not have thrown things as if completely unhinged, but River wasn't okay. Not by a long shot.
"Two by two. Vanish away...put down the stray before she attacks you..."
The words were spoken to the air. River had claimed the counter of her isolated location, sitting on it, curled away from the people. Safer that way. At least in theory, anyway.
