Daren stumbled into a room, his head pounding, one eye swollen shut, the other bleeding above the temple. A rib was broken, probably his left arm as well. The young man simply fell to the ground, his hands still extremely hot from the massive outburst. "Uhn... My eye..." Daren lapsed into unconsciousness, his body crumpling against a wall.

[[Since you said 'a room', I'm gonna say you found the medical room.]]
Ms Hannigan walked quickly over, unfazed by the fact a strange boy had just collapsed in her hospital wing, and checked Daren's pulse.
As an empath, she could feel the heat in his hands. Sensing his other injuries, she held her hand over his rib first, then his arm, and finally his eyes. As she healed him a golden glow radiated from the palms of her hands and fell over his injuries. It took about 2 minutes each for his rib and arm, and mere seconds for each of his eyes. The swelling had gone down but there was still going to be some bruising. Well, she could do that later.
Picking him up with surprising strength for such a tiny woman, she placed him on one of the beds, and hooked him up to a monitor before she went to get the numbing lotion for his eyes and hands.
After she'd applied it, she gently shook him.
"Hello?"

Daren awoke to a dull pain, like something that had been healed, but not fully. It hurt, but not enough to detract him from standing up. "Who... Who are you? What happened to my arm?" Daren lifted his legs from the bed, swinging them around, to face the woman who had healed him.

[[Could you use another colour or preferably bold for speech please? I make corrections in red. Not that that needed any, but still.]]
Ms Hannigan looked him straight in the eye, not unkindly but kind of sternly nonetheless. She did at least have her nurse's uniform on; things like this happened a lot more than you'd expect, so it helped for her to show she had actual authority and training.
"I suggest you don't stand for a little while; it could disorientate you." She moved a little closer and got a small penlight out of her pocket.
"I'm just going to check your reflexes, okay?" Without waiting for his reply she shone the small beam in both his eyes, then nodded to herself, apparently satisfied.
"My name is Ms. Hannigan. I'm a school nurse at the Parker School for Gifted Students, which is where you are currently. And your name is...?"
She knew he must be either a new student or a kid with powers who just happened to be passing; nobody else could get past the shield, and she usually got medical files for each student within 24 hours of their arrival.

((Mmkay, sure thing.))
Daren looked at her, not flinching as the light shone in his eyes. "My name is Daren. Daren Cortus. Thank you for helping me, Ms. Hannigan. I truly do appreciate it. If you are a nurse here, then that means there are people who live in this... school? Gifted people? Please explain this to me, Ma'am." Daren sat back down, his back arching slightly at the effort. He didn't know anything of this... ability of his, and it didn't help at all that they kept throwing more and more surprises on him.Daren lay back, closing his eyes, letting himself get some much needed rest.

"Don't you mention it Daren, I'm just doing my job. Now, if you feel like you need to sleep again, you tell me and I'll leave you be, alright?"
Ms Hannigan pondered for a second, wondering whether or not he even knew he had a power. He obviously hadn't meant to come here intentionally.
"Well, Daren, when you got here your hands were incredibly hot. I'd guess you got in a fight and suddenly you shot flames? Or maybe jets of energy? That's what we mean by gifted." She paused, allowing him to digest that for a moment. "This is a school for other kids with talents like that... superpowers, really."
She smiled reassuringly, and glanced at the monitor.

"Superpowers? Me? I don't know what happened, it's just... one moment, I was getting beaten up, then a white flash, and they were on fire. That's all I can remember. But I think I have an idea." Daren smiled, formulating a plan.
