The Doctor Is In

Less than twenty-four hours after being rescued from a mine, and Doctor Archie Hopper is back at the office nursing an earned hangover with ginger ale and aspirin while going over patient file for the day.

In Storybrooke, things have gone back to their normal routine as they always did. His first patient ins't for an hour, so he takes the opportunity to close his eyes and pointedly not think about what had happened the day before.

The knock on his door is unforgiving.

(As is the woman who enters without waiting to be acknowledged.)

"Dr. Hopper."

Regina is still licking her wounds after the debacle outside the mine. Henry has been sorted and seems to be doing fine, so now her attentions can be focused on other pressing matters. She looks down her nose at him. "I hope you're feeling better recovered from your ordeal."

"That all depends on your definition."

The glare is something unexpected and new. Like the ticking clock tower, the tremors through town, and the aggravating noise of crickets outside her bedroom window. Each a disturbing revelation.

Her eye doesn't miss much. She sees the ready bottle of aspirin, the ginger ale. She crosses her arms over her chest. "Physically he'll be just fine, no thanks to what put him in that mine in the first place. He's actually the reason why I've come. It would seem his care is about to change, and as a concerned mother I feel I have the right to know how."
