Handy was just on his way to the gym - with his hand and leg bandaged, he couldn't swim like he usually did (not that he could work out very well at all with his injuries) - when he heard the distinct sound of a child crying up ahead. Letting the door to the gym swing shut, he limped his way down the hall toward the lobby.

And there he was - a little boy, all curled up and crying. Bugger. Handy was sure he'd never seen anyone this young at the hotel before. They'd all thought the place had struck a low with the teens that had been brought in, but this one looked like he couldn't be more than a decade old.

He forced the anger out of his voice and expression as he came into the lobby, moving closer. "Hello?" he called gently. "Did you just get here?"

Peter started up and reached for his sword, but it was gone. He then reached for his knife but that was gone too. Someone had stolen his things! Instead he put the chair in between himself and the tall man and bared his teeth instantly hostile.

"Where is this place? Why have you brought me here? Did Hook put you up to this?"

"...Right." Those movements - the kid had been reaching for a weapon. Several weapons. Handy stopped where he was, holding his hands at about chest level, palms out, to show he wasn't a threat.

"You're in the Hotel California, I didn't bring you here, and I don't know who Hook is. Assuming Hook is a person and you're not just talking about a hook, but that wouldn't make any sense - I'm the Doctor. What's your name?"

Peter actually looked a little afraid of the man. "A Doctor. I don't need to see a doctor. I never get sick. Doctor's are as evil as pirates." And he jumped... trying to fly away only to land with a look of disappointment.
