Not since his night of commitment had Jason Aurelius felt the sting of venom. Assembly Guardian Master Randolph was his unit supervisor, since he had chosen pediatric medicine. But they still weren't friends. Randolph knew he was sending Jason Aurelius on his first home call alone with a strange Enforcer, and with disciplinary venom fresh in his veins. Enforcer Aaron considered it cruel and complained to Court. Without the young Healer having field training did it also leave them vulnerable to attack on their lives? After being injured and nearly dying, Jason Aurelius stood by Aaron in the hospital though it meant punishment from Guardian for disobeying a direct order. Their team of Healer-Enforcer had been made compatible, a joined unit by Frederick's unique Supreme Guardian venom when she sent them forth to heal, as was their tradition. But they weren't officially joined before Assembly. Still, Jason Aurelius considered it a blood promise. He was duty bound to protect Aaron's life.
