"You're smart they said, make use of it they said!" a young rosewood haired woman jeered as she sat in the clinic examination room reading a chart "I could have done something else, but no go to med school Holi it'll be a real experience for you," she frowned looking down at a chart boredly as the middle age man sat on the examination table. He started fiddling with his ears than noticed Holi was watching him and smiled at her. the doctor huffed and rolled her eyes, before writing something down as she stared at the irritated skin around his ears.
"Some experience, here I am nineteen year old genius. and four years of overpaid daycare, I'm stuck looking after idiots like you, who have the mental span of a peanut and most of whom have little to no idea of how babies are made!?"
"…"
"Y'know? most patients would have called me a bitch, and reported me to the caddy shack…but not you, then again you can't hear me right now! so, really doesn't matter what I say to you, does it Mr. Simmons?"
Her patient stared blankly then smiled and awkwardly nodded when her. laurel green eyes landed on him before the redhead bit the inside of her cheek, before grabbing an otoscope, mineral oil drops and tweezers. Than gestured to Mr. Simmons to tilt his head so Holi could check his left ear.
the redhead grimaced when she saw how inflamed the entrance was making it very clear; that her patient has not been cleaning his ears properly. which was even more evident when she saw something blocking the cannel "What the hell…?" she trailed off.
(Note based on a you tube video I saw, this gets gross!)
Holi frowned before reaching for her tools. Using the drops she waited a few moments for them to set, She too the tweezers and grabbed a hold of what ever it was, after a few tugs the foreign object, which turned out to be a hardened nugget of what looked like impacted earwax the sized of a almond "Oh my god!" the red head gagged as her patient perked up and looked right at her as stinky pus slowly leaked from his ear.
"Yay! I can hear! Sort of…"
"That's great Mr. Simmons! could you please place this cloth on your ear? I have to make a phone call real quick!"
"what's that swishing noise?"
"Yeah! Uh Greg? It's Dr. Reedzen, I have a gentlemen here with some very nasty infected ears…they need to be unplugged and drained ….yeah that bad,…I can smell it from here!? Charles Simmons…I'll give him a prescription. and send him up now, bye."
Holi slammed the phone down on the receiver, wrote down a prescription for Polysporin, and a instructed Mr. Simmons to head to room 311. before, calling in her next patient; which turned out to be nothing. Just an Idiot who didn't know how to use their EpiPen, which they demonstrated by pulling an orange from their bag, injecting it with the pen… than ate the orange.
Holi just stared at them for five seconds, than explained the Pens proper use in her own way, the end result was the patient cussing the redhead out stomping out of her office. She'd had enough of this hospital for today [mental image of the runny ear] no,… the entire week!
Holi yawned and stretched as she exited the hospital. Somehow avoiding her boss in process! Maybe he's having a case of 'What's the blockage?' too and the universe cut her a break! "Heh, fat chance!" she snorted the redhead stretched again; letting out a content sigh. when her shoulders and back popped.
"(Whistle) oh yeah, those were some big ones." she mumbled to herself mind drifting off to whether going on a run or going to a the club tonight, "Been a while since I've had some..fun." she mumbled to herself and she cut through the Hospital's courtyard Holi eyes caught something in their peripherals.
A man sitting on picnic table with two other guy one huge and one antsy looking fellow who looked like he hadn't showered in weeks! Suddenly the hairs on the back of her neck stood up, something felt off…. The green eyed girl's instincts were screaming …go back to the hospital and call Dick!… Against her better judgement the redhead hid behind the trees and got as close she could the group.
at first it just seemed like some guys bumming around the park, until the doctor noticed the anxious body language and nervous eyes. as one of the men handed a small baggie over to the sickly looking fellow. Holi narrowed her eyes as it clicked. {"A drug deal, at a hospital?…now that's just fu-"} she accidentally snapped a twig of the tree she holding on to getting the men's attention.
"Who the fuck are you?"
{"…uh oh!"} " sorry guys, I usually cut through this way to get home…" She tried to reason backing up as the men eyed her like a pack of wolves. " but, you seem to be using it at the moment so-"
"Bullshit! You were spying Fester take care of her!"
"That's not really necessary, I'll just be le-…"
That's as far as that sentence got…Than Holi woke up dazed, she blinked a few times and tried to stand… only find she was tied to a chair! Her eyes finally adjusted to the dim lighting Holi scanned to room,as one of her captors noticed and smirked maliciously "Oh, look boys, someone's waking up!" the doctor tested the ropes and hissed when they dug into her wrist bringing back a shattered memory, one she'd she'd really love to forget.
The sound of snapping fingers pulled Holi from her trance, one the drug dealers was glaring at her. "So what do we do with her?" One asked looking at her like a piece of meat, it made her want to vomit. "Nothing, till Red-Hood has a word with her." the one who ordered Fester to 'take care' of her stated.
Holi decided to dub him Risky. Just as the door opened and a tall man decked out in tactical gear and a red helmet walked men surrounding Holi made a wide berth for him, as he walked over the redhead, the hooded man glowered at the petite woman, who stared back unnerved as his eyes narrowed the turned to Risky.
"what the hell is this?"
"Not really sure boss, we caught the bitch eavesdropping on one of our dea-"
"Bullshit! You were dealing outside of my hospital!"
Holi snapped voice slurring slightly this earned a slap from Risky oh, how lucky he was that she was tied up right now…her laurel green eyes glared at him."Shut up y'stupid bit-" What happen next shocked Holi and scared the shit out of the other men, Red-hood silently turned Risky around and pistol whipped him in the jaw knocking the man to the floor!
Risky clutching his now dislocated jaw looked up at his boss confused, he tried to talk only for a deafening bang and Risky's pained and horror filled screams were echoing off the warehouse walls, Red let him suffer a few minutes letting his crew know what will happen if they ever act out of line in front of him again… A swift kick to the temple later and Risky was knocked out.
Red-hood then turned to the rest of his gang who were gawking at Risky then at their boss. "Let this moron." he lifted Risky up like a rag doll to show them the knocked out man. "Be a lesson." the next time one of you decides to get rough without my permission." he snarled before throwing Risky at Fester who looked ready to throw up seeing his partners limp body land at is feet, the men all blanched and nodded before Red hood turned his attention back towards Holi he walked over to her and silently cut her bindings.
Holi shot up flexing her wrists; she was about to book it but her god damn doctor instincts caused her to check up on Risky, "Hold up." she called after Fester who looked at her nervously; Red-Hood was eyeing him over her shoulder with a look a told him, She gave him an order…and he better damn well follow it'. "Wh-what do you want?" he stuttered.
"I want to have a look at you friend, that is if you want him to die?"
"…you a nurse?"
"I'm wearing scrubs aren't I?"
"But you're a kid…"
The rosewood haired woman gave him a look that could melt steel, Fester gulped and put Risky down, Holi immediately check his pulse it wasn't bad but, it wasn't good either, he was loosing a lot of blood from his leg, "Hold his head for me." she ordered Fester did as he told and and Holi carefully popped Risky's jaw back into place the sound it made caused the gang members to wince, "He might also have a concussion…" she mumbled examining his forehead a large bump already forming, then moved on to his leg but without any surgical tool it was a fools errand. "Dammit,it no good! the bullet was the only keeping his knee together…"
She growled looking around for her purse then saw it on a crate, she grabbed it and went back to her patient, knowing he was losing a lot of blood she pulled out a Maxie-pad and a untied Risky's bandanna she stuck the pad to it and then tied it to his kneed. then she quickly pulled out a notepad and scribbled on it.
"If you want him to keep that leg, go to this address. ask for DK tell them Evan sent you." she ordered before looking at the bewildered man. "What?!" Fester flinched and carried Risky away, all while a semi impressed Red-hood watched on after a few seconds of silence Holi looked at him warily "Can I leave now?" her voice slurred a bit he silently nodded and pointed at a door at the far end of the warehouse.
Holi hummed unsure if she should believe him and walked he noted she was shaking the entire time, he silently followed after her. But not before turning to his gang who were still trying to comprehend what the hell just happened, " if I find out any of you have been dealing outside the hospitals again?…" he calmly cocked his gun causing the men to jolt from the sound. "You're gonna have a bad time." His voice was cold and held promise his lackeys gulped as took off towards their cars.
The redheaded doctor looked around the warehouse's parking lot, she looked around and sighed in relief Pinkney ave…. Upside? she knew where she was. downside? Holi couldn't warp out to her flat without risking her identity, the redhead swallowed and glanced cautiously debating if she should book it or not, only to yelp when a large hand grabbed her wrist and saw it belonged to Red-Hood "where do you live?" he asked as dragging her towards his motorcycle.
Holi grimaced the last thing she needed was a gun trotting nut knowing where she lived "Actually could you take me back to the hospital?" Her voice went slurry again "They probably know I'm missing By now." Red-hood looked at her oddly before, handing the redhead a helmet as she sat behind him and wrapped her arms around his midsection.
The bike revved to live and took off down the street "so what's up with your voice?" the gang leader asked Holi blinked not really sure how answer that "um, head injury when I was kid," that wasn't a complete lie… for a second she felt the man tense up and saw his hands tighten on the handle bars as they stopped at a red light.
"What kind of head injury?"
"The kind where it's none of your business!"
"Must have a been pretty traumatic…any other problems?"
"Memory problems and migraines and tinnitus especially when I'm stressed. But, other then that nothing."
Red-hood stared over his shoulder at Holi briefly before focusing on the road she winced feeling the bump on her head press against the helmet as the bike moved on, when they got to the hospital , the redhead sighed in relief and jumped of the bike and looked back at the gang leader. "Um, thanks Red." the man just waved her off and got ready to leave as Holi turn enter the hospital a voice stopped.
"By the way, I never caught your name girly." the doctor froze and tried to come up with a fake one only for her boss to screw up her plan.
"Holiday Reedzen! Where the hell have you been!?" Dr. Dewier roared as he came stomping out of the building Holi started to sputter trying to explain and calm him down as Red-hood rode off leaving her to deal with her ogre of a boss,
Jason/Red-Hood's POV
Jason parked his bike into an alley and sat there processing everything Holiday Reedzen… Holi was alive? At first he just thought it was some chick who bore a scary resemblance to her. but, the mention of her head injury matched up with the video that sick bastard clown tortured him with it in his final moments.
"Oh, don't feel sad birdie boy! you won't be going alone~ here, I've called in a special favor just for you!~"
Joker hired some biker gang to kidnap her they dragged her out into some woods and shot her in the head. Jason could still feel the numb and empty he felt when his friend's body hit the ground blood pooling around her before the video that was acting as the bomb's timer went off.
Since then the only thing that was on Jason Todd's mind was vengeance. But, now one of the weights that he'd clinging to was lifted and now the former Robin was conflicted telling her who he was, or let it go and let her live her life, Jason let out an growl as option A won, and decided to talk to her tomorrow then something caught his attention and noticed Nightwing running around and smirked a least he'll have something to keep him occupied for a while.
