Mr. Alter (Cherik au)

Day 5: Part 2

\\

"Thank you, come again." The clerk said as she handed me the book.

I smiled back before running out of the small bookstore across the street where the hospital was.
My feet carried me towards the pedestrian lane, where the light was still red.

I stood there with other people, waiting anxiously for the green light. My phone then notified me.
I fished it out of my pocket and looked at the open home screen.

'Askdjjcjtkrda.' From Charles.

I looked at it with utter confusion and disbelief. Has my brother gone insane? If so... maybe its mister nice guy Lehnsherr! I knew those steel eyes were magnetic. It lures people in!

The green signal was switched on and the incoming vehicles stopped. I shoved my phone back to my pocket and hurriedly walked towards St. Ives Medical Hospital.

I entered the hospital with witty stealth, well... sort of.

Like Monica of course, I made sure that everything was as it as it was before I left.
Patients and nurses, left and right were rolling along busily. Scott Summers surfaced from the hall and greeted me.

"Raven, you're here." He said.
"Yep, after an hour or so" I said.

He nodded, the clipboard still in his arms. "By the way, Charles hasn't come out yet,"
"Excuse me?" I asked.

"He hasn't been dismissed yet by Dr. Lehnsherr. His wound was only a broken nose and split lips but that would've taken only 40 minutes." He shook his head.
"So, can I go and knock to see the progress? I can't waste my time today." I informed.

He shrugged. "Well, doctors don't usually let nurses or other people in upon directions, and certainly he didn't allow anyone to be inside except for him and your brother. You could make an exception if you spoke with him though."

I smiled. "That's great, I'll just do that."
"Good, he is located at the quiet part of the hall, beside the dermatologist laboratory by the left of Hall B." Scott directed.

"Thanks." I said.
"You're welcome." He replied before turning away to talk to a new patient.

My feet tapped against the cold tiled floor of the quiet side of the hospital. There were a few nurses there but they then disappeared to other parts.

I passed by the Doctor's offices before finding the Dermatologists' Lab by the right. Beside it was the white door and wide windows beside it. The shutters were covering it and the glass was soundproof.

I found the chair by the door and I reluctantly sat down.
There was a faint tap from inside.

I leaned in closely to hear it again, this time it was from the door. In bored curiosity, I pressed my ear against the cold metal and listened to whatever was going on.

"Oh fuck!"
"Ah, yeah! oh!"

I gulped as I listened.

"Mmhpphh, Oh! Erik uh!"
"Almost there, don't give up you're doing good."
"Nngg, mph! Uh that feels amazing! Oh!"
"Uh yeah, you're so hot!"

My mouth went dry and my head was spinning. What the hell.

"Yeah! Uh uh! Im almost there."
"Yeah, do it for me."

I almost puked and then accidentally, my hand fell into the metal, causing a loud knock to echo.
In utter horror, I scrambled up and walked away towards the lobby to be only stopped by Scott and another nurse.

"Oh hey Raven. Any luck?" He asked.
I awkwardly shifted my weight around my legs, trying to compose myself. "Yeah um, yeah everything is... is fine."
He nodded. "Oh and this is Logan, he is Dr. Lehnsherr's assistant."

I smiled and we shook hands. "Hi, um nice to uh meet you."
He smiled back. "Pleasure to meet you."
Scott the cocked his head as he looked at me. "Raven are you okay?"

I bit my lip and felt my mind trying to comprehend everything. "Oh what? Uh yeah.. YEAH everything is very... uh... FINE. Nothing to worry about here."
"Okay... I believe that they should be done right about now." Scott said.

After a few seconds, the door opened and the two figures stepped out with unsettling smiles plastered on their faces.
I gulped and stood uncomfortably.

"Thanks Erik, I had a great time." Charles blushed as he pulled up his sweater.
Erik smiled back. "No problem, anytime Charles."

Then both eyes turned to us. My thoughts racing back to me.
"Oh hi Raven, sorry it took so long. We were just having a hard time." Charles innocently greeted me.

I nodded. "Oh... yeah, a HARD time...hahha.."
Erik looked at me with that steely stare, like something he wanted to hide.
"So, Dr. Lehnsherr, that was long than expected." Logan said.

Erik nodded, eyes still stuck on me. "It's fine, we were just having a, HARD time fixing him up."
I coughed a bit.
Charles cocked his head. "You okay?"

I glanced at him with sickly and crazy eyes. "Yep, nothing to worry about I was just.... tired."
He nodded and smiled at Erik. "Thank you Erik."

Erik waved his hand. "You were great Charles."

What a long day it was.
