**Josie’s POV**
The ride is tense, Mason groans in pain with every bump and turn the van makes, I keep a hand on his shoulder to let him know I’m there, but he’s too consumed in his pain to acknowledge me. Mr Collins is still and silent as the healer works on him. I watch him work, curious about his ft as his hands hover over Mr Collins‘ body, seeking out injuries. I want to ask about his gift, and how it works, but I don’t want to Interrupt him. His main focus seems to be around Mr Collins‘ head.
“Did someone start healing him already?” the man asks, his voice startling me because I’d been so intensely focused on watching his hands.
“No, none of us have a healing gift,” I shake my head.
“He’s partially healed. One of you has the gift, you just dont know it yet,” he grins at me. “He’s stable for now, I’ll fix him up properly once we have a stable work environment. It’s hard to focus with the jostling of a moving vehicle,”
“Thank you,” I nod.
“I’m Arturo, but most people call me Art. I teach at the academy and also help out in the infirmary, and occasionally, I come out on these rescue missions,” he introduces himself.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Josie, thank you for helping us,” I smile, glad to have some normal conversation right now.
“We have met before, although you were unconscious at the time. I’m glad to see you recovered well. Dot did a fine job, I was immensely proud of her,”
“Oh, well I’m sorry I missed our first meeting, you caught me on a bad day,” I joke. Mason groans again and Art shifts his attention to him. His hands hover over Mason’s chest and I see him visibly relax.
“Thanks,” Mason rasps.
“That should take the edge off, for now,” Art says and then his hands move up and hover over Mason’s head. ” You’ve had healing too,” he frowns.
“Josie,” Mason says and I almost respond until I realise he’s saying I healed him.
“I don’t think it was me. I mean, I didn’t try to. I don’t think I have the gift,” I shake my head because surely I would have felt something. The van comes to a stop and the back doors open quickly.
“Well, we are going to find out,” Art winks at me before instructing the men waiting outside how to transport his patients. Mason and Mr Collins are unloaded and Art helps me out of the Van. I’m surprised to see we are at the academy.
“Why are we here?” I ask.
“The infirmary here is just as good as anywhere else, and this was the closest, bar the prison,” he shrugs as we follow the stretchers.
The room we are taken to contains four beds, and Mason and Mr Collins are transferred to two of the beds, the other two remain empty.
“I’m going to get you something to help you rest,” Art says to Mason before leaving us alone.
“I just received a message to attend the infirmary, how can help?” I hear Dot’s voice in the corridor.

“You weren’t called here to help, Dot. It was a family admitted alert,” Art says softly and Dot gasps.
“Where is he? What happened?” She asks.

“Fuck,” Mason curses and tries to sit up but soon gives up, the pain tiot allowing him to move.
Dot appears in the doorway, her eyes wide with fear as she takes us in. Her hand goes to her mouth to cover her shock. “What happened?” she rushes over and I move around Mason’s bed to greet her, she pulls me into a hug. 1 finch as her hands brush over the wounds on my back. “Oh gosh I’m sorry, let me heal you,” she says.
