`` This child... Marinda... she's too powerful.'' Dr. Gaines shook his head, his clipboard resting against his chin. Dr. Marshall teased him often about it being one of his many nervous habits. 
 
 The girl, the prodigy to the doctors, was outside in the yard. After discovering what she could do, the doctors took every precaution imaginable to keep her calm. A happy child was one thing, but a scared, and even angry child was a force that they did n't dare want to challenge. Everything *had* to be perfect. 
 
 She was playing with her `` friends''. She believed them to be real, but they were, in fact, figments of her imagination. They were pretending that they were climbing a great, perilous mountain to rescue a litter of lion cubs. Marin loved to explore, and to help. The doctors believed that, in the future, she would amount to great things. 
 
 Dr. Marshall clicked her tongue. `` Perhaps, but with the proper guidance, she could become the greatest thing to ever happen to this world.'' 
 
 `` Yeah, I guess, but I ca n't help but feel a little bad. I mean, she's, what, seven years old? She's playing in a fenced off yard with friends that are n't even real. How long until she realizes where she is? Let's face it, Marshall, when she stops imagining, the walls we've built around her will crumble, and we wo n't be able to cover the whole fire!'' 
 
 Dr. Gaines did n't remember what happened next, but he ended up compressed against the wall with Dr. Marshall's hands near his throat. His eyes were wild, and his heart was struggling to recover from the unexpected blow. 
 
 `` Do n't let HQ catch you talking like that, *doctor*. You know what they do to the ones who let their thoughts wander.'' Dr. Marshall warned. Gaines thought of Marshall as a close friend, so hearing him speak in such a way made him feel like a child being scolded by his parents. 
 
 Dr. Gaines glanced back out at Marin. She was so gentle, and kind, but they both knew he had a point. There would come a time when she grew up, and those creations she made from thin air would wane into nothing. 
 
 Dr. Marshall, releasing his grip on Gaines' shoulders, patted his friend on the shoulder. `` Hey, relax, okay? HQ knows what they're doing, they'll figure it out.'' 
 
 Dr. Marshall stepped away from the window, heading towards the door. 
 
 As he exited, Dr. Gaines sighed. HQ seemed to know everything.
