Florence was born in Paragon to the proud parents of Diana & Bruce Gale in 1978.
Bruce was a surgeon at the Gimrey Ridge hospital in Steel Canyon, an up & coming star in the hospital world at the time. Which is where he met my mother Diana, they shared a passion to do good & aid others.

When I came along it sort of scuppered their plans but alas they persevered & maintained a working life with a jam eater in tow.
As a child I wasn't spoilt, but I was special (so my dad always said) & he used to take me to work with him during the holidays. I loved the hospital, all those nurses & doctors, (I did't realise it then but I was already becoming part of that world as if being groomed).
My dad said I was a natural.
We lived in Founders Falls near the Liberty Town area, I was always proud of living in an area named after one of the many heroes we had in Paragon.
Miss Liberty, what a star, a fine example to an up an coming young lady. I say lady I wasn't stuck up or anything but having the parents I did they were a bit overpowering & expected me to do well.

Well, do well I did, I left school with a fairly good education & was hurtled into the medical industry. I longed for knowledge, I studied at Founders Fall University & when I wasn't there I was with my father at the hospital, learning constantly until that day when i graduated. I remember my mother, those tears of pride we cuddled each other & then my dad hit me with a bombshell.
He told me of my mothers condition, (I knew she had been unwell, even in my junior years i knew something was wrong, but wouldn't admit it)
My mother had this genetic disease, the survival rate was minimal at her age my dad said, I was devastated. I researched into the long hours of the night for weeks after he broke the news, but he was right there was nothing i could do.
Worse still it was a hereditary disease, I may inherit it from my mother. (I had to find out if I had the gene that caused it).
"My best friend Rosey would help me find out i'm sure". I thought.
"I'm sorry Flo its positive", those words will haunt me, i dropped to my knees, tears dripped through my fingers,........ was I to suffer the same fate as my mother?
I was lost what would I do without her, what would I do, myself?. I spent most of my free time with my mother right up untill that awful day. I remeber holding her, feeling helpless & lonely, my world had crashed., but I had to be strong for dad.
We expected it happening, but it wasn't easy by no means, dad was a wreck he blamed himself for our loss, he got wrapped up in guilt, I tried to explain, I even had medical evidence to back it up. He said "They said she had a weak heart, but your mother had the greatest heart of anyone I ever knew. She was all heart, illness or not"
But dad blamed himself for not being able to save my beloved mother, if fact it drove him to near madness. So much so he left the medical profession.

Not long after dad left the medical world I had a call from the head of Riviera hospital in Outbreak. A friend of dads, asking me if I would like a position on his staff.

To cut a long story short I was working on the ward when I heard about the important patient down stairs, I had heard about him & was desperate to go down & treat him, (even though it wasn't my department) but I had patients of my own to attend to.
I had just went into the dispensary when it happened, the noise was horrific & the light, the glow was immense, & I knew no more.

"Once I came too, their were elated feelings around the ward.)
Rosey I heard say " shes come too, quick hurry up "
Was it all a dream, was i dead. no I was concussed but ok.
I woke up fit as a fiddle, no signs of anything,
Rosey said I had a glow about me & we laughed about it.
But she was right, it was, what seemed like a miracle but everyone on the same ward as me was discharged the next day with a full bill of health.

Once I came too so to speak I went back to work unawhere what changes had happened that day, I'm no angel but some how I had the ability to heal.
It was scary I didnt have to do anything to heal people I just had this aura, I had to be discreet though. What was happening to me?

Was I becoming a super being, what had happened to me on that day. I wasn't a hero I was a nurse, a nurse for gods sake. But I couldn't explain anything. All my training & knowledge contradicted what was happening.....was I a super being, no I was Florence Gale a nurse , a nurse.
I was frightened what was happening to me, I felt strange, not in a bad way but in a healthy way as if nothing was wrong...
I knew what I had to do, Rosey worked with me back then, now we were going to do the same test we had done years before. I had a hunch, call it a gut feeling.....
" Thats impossible, Flo you sure you gave me the right sample?." of cause it is I snapped, feeling anxious, how dare you question me.
I had snapped at Rosey fearing the worst, but we were good friends, it wasn't personnal, I'm sure she understood.
"But Flo, the test is showing negative", "thats impossible" I said "its a hereditory disease. If my mother had it then surely I must?"
"Lets do it again" I said & again Rosey said "the test is showing negative"
I didnt understand,what was happening to me?
"Have you cured yourself Flo" Rosey said with a look of shock on her face. All I could do was wonder...........

It wasn't untill a few months later when Dr. Furnace approached me, he had been what my dad was, head surgeon at Riviera & a good friend. He took me to one side & told me of a group of people that I should meet. I was curious & agreed but was suprised at what I found.
"These people have suffered from the same incident as we have, they can help us" he said "Us I said, confused, but dr why us?", " because my child you & I come from the same profession" "you mean we can help others" I asked? "Yes Florence I too have had strange feelings as of late, I have left the hospital to persue my calling". Then a couple of days later the Dr introduced me to some strange people
These people had super powers. They were heros & heroes fought villains.
I was a nurse I said "I heal people I do not fight or worse kill".
Then this man a strange character said "If you heal, then heal us"
I could heal any of the group of injuries, but I couldn't cure them of what had happened to them?, we all were drawn to one another, by what or how I do not know yet, maybe the Dr. could find out.
I was afraid. I didn't know these people
But the Dr, calmed me & made me see reason.
That is how I became a Watchman
