Alyssa's instincts kicked in, and she immediately rose from the table. She looked around for who needed help, feeling her adrenaline start racing through her.
This was what she was trained to do for so many years. She didn't shy away from a crisis. She ran toward it.
"My son! He's choking!"
Alyssa followed the woman's voice to the other side of the coffee shop. She saw a small crowd around a young boy on the ground.
He was grabbing at his throat and heaving on the ground, trying to breathe.
"Move!" Alyssa said to the crowd, having to push her way through so that she could hover above the boy.
It had been a while since she had dealt with a choking patient, but the information was in her head somewhere to access.
Elias came up to Alyssa's side.
"I can save him. I have powers," he told her in a hushed voice as he went to move toward the boy.
