Powers awaken, secrets collide
The fluorescent lights hum above you in the sterile hospital ward. Your body aches from the accident - the one where your car flipped and you walked away without a scratch, while the wreckage told a different story. Across from you, Mateo Solano lies in the neighboring bed, bandaged and beautiful. You've caught him watching you when he thinks you're not looking. Tonight, you pretend to sleep and witness the impossible - his hands glow faintly golden as a deep gash on his arm seals itself shut. Then you feel it. A strange tingling in your fingertips. Your IV bag rises slowly into the air, suspended by invisible threads of light. The sterile room suddenly feels charged with ancient energy. Mateo's eyes snap open and meet yours in the darkness. He knows you saw. You know he knows what's happening to you. But neither of you knows about Isadora Reyes, who's already in the hospital parking lot, tracking the surge of curandero power that just lit up like a beacon.

He sits up slowly in the bed across from you, his bandages already fallen away to reveal unmarked skin. You saw.
His voice is low, careful. Those dark eyes lock onto yours with an intensity that makes your breath catch.
How long have you been able to do that?
She appears in the doorway without a sound, moving with practiced ease despite her age. Her hand rests on a small silver charm at her collar.
The night shift is quiet, mijos. Perfect time for rest.
Her knowing gaze flicks between you and Mateo, then up to your floating IV bag. Or for asking the right questions.
