Athena was discharged the next morning despite Carlisle trying to persuade her to stay just in case. "Carlisle, I said no I will not be staying another second in this hospital, no offense to you truly." She said as she was signing papers. "I have plans that I am very committed to." she added "I really do think you should stay for a bit more observation, Your plans for La Push can always be changed to another day," Carlisle said. Athena stopped and kept her eyes on the paper

"Dr.Cullen, my plans are none of your business, nor is it your children's business. So help me lord if I hear one more of you say anything about me going to the Reservation, I will give you a real reason to be concerned about me that doesn't involve the Res, but with my friendship with your family. Like I told them, Your issues with the Reservation are none of my concern or problem. I am my own person not one of your kids so if you try to convince me not to go to La Push one more time, I promise you as much as it would pain me I will cut people off, I will not tolerate people telling me what to do or continuously trying to "suggest" what I should do with my life " Athena said to Carlisle while getting in his face a bit "So if the next words aren't you're discharged, take care. I don't want to hear it. " She said as she glared at him and then finished the paperwork and turned around almost tripping

"Oh, my-" She held her chest when she looked down to see a man in a wheelchair "I am so sorry sir, I really need to watch where I am going." She said in a polite tone which is very contradictory to her previous one. "No no I apologies, I wasn't watching where I was rolling." He said and chuckled and Athena giggled a bit. "Are you okay over here? You sounded a bit upset." He asked as he looked at Carlisle and then back to her

"Oh I'm just peachy, just an argument that has been settled and won't be brought up again," She said turning to Carlisle who frowned a bit but nodded understandingly "My apologies Athena I was out of line." He said "Yes you were, but I will accept the apology," she said and he nodded as he smiled a bit before he went to do other things. She sighed and turned back to the man in the wheelchair who was glaring at Dr. Cullen as he walked away.

"I'm so sorry I never introduced myself, I'm Athena Lockeheart, semi-new around here and leaving my mark everywhere I go. " She said, holding out her robotic hand. He looked back at her and smiled "Billy Black, been living around here on the Reservation since birth, left my mark within my years." he said taking her hand in his. "Nice to meet you, Billy, loving the wheels they look flashy." She said with a bright smile as she truly did admire.

"My wheels?, nothing can compare to that contraption you have there," He said as he gestured to her robotic hand "Never in my 53 years have I seen something like that. " He said and Athena held her arm out for him to look at it closer "Pretty awesome right, I only started wearing them about 3 or 4 years ago. It's a lifesaver truly, I mean I can't feel anything in it but I can move it like a normal arm. It was always a dream to be a cyborg" she said and laughed which made Billy laugh as well.

"My wife would have loved you I can already tell," Billy said smiling a bit sadder. "My dad would have wanted a friend like you," Athena said and patted his shoulder "Sorry for your loss" Athena added "Sorry for yours as well." Billy said and patted her hand "Thanks he died due to a car accident Seven years ago. Miss him every day, but I know he's here in my heart." Athena said and Billy's eyes widened a bit and he gave her a small smile

"My wife died seven years ago in a car accident. I also believe she is here in spirit. " Athena smiled at him "Small world isn't it?" she asked and Billy nodded "Seems it is, my son Jacob would like you" Athena smiled softly "Making a small assumption, I believe he is younger than me, I'm going to be 19 in about 3 and a half months" She said and Billy nodded "I see well maybe you could tutor him and his friends they could really use it" he joked and Athena thought for a moment "Actually I wouldn't say no to that. I'm a smart cookie" she said and Billy chuckled "Well didn't think I'd come to the hospital and gain a tutor for my son and his two friends"
