<strong>Location:</strong>Onogoro-Jima Beach<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Luke<br/><br/>“I need to get back to work,” Shaniqua said, noting some of the students starting back towards the water with the danger dispersed, “but thank you again.”  She waved before heading back up to her lifeguard chair.<br/><br/>“Well, there is a Wushu Club,” Doctor Cheng said.  “I’m not a fighter by any means - I take ‘first, do no harm’ very seriously - but I’ve helped when there are accidents during sparring and such.  I just know that they’re very big on carrying the eight aspects of Xia into the modern day - if you’ve met Sarge, it won’t surprise you that discipline is equally, if not more, important to her than actual combat prowess.  There was a kid a few years back who got his gun confiscated because he kept wanting to hold it sideways.”  Doctor-patient confidentiality remained, but the doctor was a bit of a gossip, like her mother, even though she’d never discuss private information.<br/><br/>The change in Luke’s demeanor got the doctor’s compassion, and she met his gaze in sympathy.  “It’s not that we don’t want to help, but there’s only so much we can do.  If-“<br/><br/>Her words were interrupted by a flash of movement, a black blur dashing across the sands and doing his best not to get so close to others that the accompanying wind didn’t throw sand at people he passed by.  It seemed as though he had more laps he had to do, and it was hard to tell much due to his superspeed beyond that he was getting worn out with the process.  Being extremely fast probably didn’t give him the endurance to run for extended periods of time, thus the punishment.<br/><br/>Doctor Lin Cheng watched him pass before continuing, “If we lived outside this island, there would just be more problems there, and less people to handle the issues here.”  She paused a moment before adding, “Outside of the island, though, the disappearances do seem high.  Hopefully some more nomadic heroes will go there to investigate.”<br/><br/>Her smile warmed about the mention of middle management incompetence, and she nodded.  “If you or your friends do get injured beyond your ability to patch up yourselves, don’t be afraid to stop by my office.  If there’s an emergency during the night, call.”  She gave a formal bow of a goodbye before departing after giving him a chance to respond, deciding just to walk back since she wasn’t in a real hurry.
