AN : I already said that I'm doing this just for fun.

The good doctor

Ruggsville, Texas

The Fireflies daily life was as usual. Meaning that nothing was too interesting nor not interesting at all... While Emily fitted in, just like Otis and Gordon, who was by far the one who brought them a lot of cash and was preparing for something big it seemed, he had to put all of his plan on hold.

His baby sister will have her birthday and soon, so he did what he did best. While he doesn't even know when he was born, Emily does know. Ironic as it is, she was born in December the 25th. Ironic as how fate does work... Not so ironic was the fact that she might be the devil's incarnation according to Otis himself, and he was so insane that he'd give Deadpool a nightmare... Well, as close to a nightmare as that guy could ever have...

So he spent a few days working on something for his baby sister. A modified, Semi-auto bowgun. While even Otis objected, it fell on deaf ears as he insisted that she needs to be ready if and when. They couldn't argue, but even Cutter knew that it was a bad idea...

And he was mistaken, as that gift was useful enough as Gordon spent enough time training his sister how to maintain her bowgun, how to use it, how to NOT harm herself. He had to admit that Baby did a really good job of helping him. Mostly because of how he threatened Earl to collect his sins by his blood, nerves, skin, guts and even blood if he as much as he threatened another family member. Earl knew the true meaning of fear once in his life... Now he knew the meaning of terror...

"Hey birthday girl, I wanted to give you this in case you need it. BUT! But you should never ever use it unless you were trained enough to use it!" Otis gave his birthday present which was a hunting knife. Go figure. Momma then chewed Otis and Gordon who both grinned mischieviously in the aftermath as their plan was to turn the girl to the darkside, to them...

However, the two men and their sister regretted an incident that happened; which was their own fault...

One day, Emily was bored out of her mind. Gordon went hunting with Rufus, Mama Firefly was making lunch, Hugo and Tiny were sleeping, Otis was doing who knows what, and Baby was in her room. While the girl didn't want to disturb anyone, she was seriously debating it. She decided that maybe she better walk outside. However, as she ran, she tripped and fell on her knife that she carried unsheathed, despite everyone's warning. Baby was the first to arrive and...

"EMILY!" Baby yelled at the top of her lungs as her sister got stabbed by a knife. While it was an accident, but the young woman didn't care at all. Gordon who just arrived bolted to the scene in a pace that wasn't seen since the extinction of dinosaurs. He carried her and yelled at Baby if there's any doctor...

"Yeah there is over there, but he lives in a hole underground. I'll..." She didn't have to finish her words as the man ran at speeds that rivaled a horse. Soon enough, he was inside the catacombs...

"Doctor, we need your help. Can you save her?" Gordon asked with a despair. While he didn't lve the girl before, he took a liking to her. Sure, he lost a lot of friends, but none was this young. She was a child, children shouldn't die in his mind...

"Put her over there. Hurry up!" Doctor Satan quickly removed the knife as he patched her up. Gordon was filled by one feeling : regret. Regret that he didn't train her, regret that he didn't bond better, regret that he wasn't there... And for the first time in his life, he went outside and broke down. He never thought that he'll be able to cry over anything, but this closer to a cyborg than human broke down at the prospect of losing his baby sister...

He didn't know how long it took, but the family arrived, including Cutter. He didn't even took notice at what happened. But the doctor's words helped him to rize up...

"If you were any later, she would've died..." Quentin said and soon, Baby, Otis and Miller asked if they could get in. The doctor left them.

"We're so sorry Emy!" The three said at the same time...

"I shouldn't have left you!" Baby confessed.

"I shouldn't have given you that knife!" Otis confessed.

"I should've trained you and stayed with you!" Gordon confessed.

"You did no wrong. You saved my life, and you did the right thing Otis!" Emily said before the pain in her chest intensified, making the Doctor inject her with a pain killer.

"When she'll be back in full health, I'll let you know. Now get out of here, you're troubling me!" Quentin chased them away.

Gordon lost his ability to speak for weeks. No words were needed for him. Baby took it the worst as all she wanted in her life was a little sister, and yet she failed to be there when her sister needed her. Otis felt for once, sick to his stomach and the three especially fell into a bad case of depression. Not just because their sister forgave them they would feel any better. Even Hugo failed to find a way to help the three siblings who drowned in self-loathing...

Rufus knew it was bad as Gordon went to the woods and came back carrying a tall pine tree on his shoulders effortlessly. Tiny knew it was bad as Otis didn't say any remark and became less talkative than Rufus. Cutter knew it was bad as Baby was moping around and was usually crying her eyes out. Gloria knew it was bad as she watched her kids depress more and more.

"I want my sister back!" Baby cried into Tiny's shoulder as he petted her back. Rufus watched as Gordon was breaking a damn tree by his own bare hands, not minding a bit that his hands became raw and bloodied. Hugo watched as Otis was usually in a bad daze.

It went like this for months, until that day...

"Ok, now she can go back up, she's healed, but... Make sure she doesn't do anything that stresses her as... You know." Quentin said as Baby and Rufus were so happy, Rufus even grinned, something he'd NEVER do...

"Don't worry my good doctor, I'll be watching her like a hawk, and I'll never let her alone, never again!" Baby promissed as she almost hugged her sister. Almost as Rufus held her before he muttered, 'Gently!' to his sister who nodded.

"Emy, let's go back home. Come'ere." Baby told her sister as the young girl walked toward her tall sister, the young woman carried her like a toddler and went back home...

"Look who's back from the fucking dead!" Hugo exclaimed in a bit of a happy face, "Welcome back kid, you worried us sick!" The old man was kind enough to ruffle Emily's hair, something that was already done by Rufus. Otis wanted to say something, only for him to keep his mouth shut. No words were needed, but his look changed... Cutter arrived to hug his daughter, just like Momma. Tiny greeted his sister with a wave. Miller however...

The tall man sighed as he picked his sister up, noticing how frail she was. He kissed her forehead while looking at her in an apologetic warm glance. When the girl smiled, he felt his soul back in his body as he looked at Baby who prepared a chair for her younger sister, right at the dinner table. The heavy guy put his sister as gently as he could...

"It was all my fault, Emily. It was all my fault... If only I didn't go with Rufus..." The heavy guy said in tears. Rufus told him over and over that he didn't blame him, Baby or even Otis. But the lecture he had made him feel guilty. Guilt he never dodge, debt he always payed, but his sibling is irreplaceable. While at first they were bitter as he loved her cuteness, while she almost bitted his finger off at each and ever occasion he wasn't sleeping or in a daze, they quickly warmed up...

Needless to say, that if anyone would harm her in anyway, he'd rip his head off... Unless of course Cutter or Gloria, as they are the girl's parents and parents are always immune... Unless a sibling took care of it according to Otis...

"No, it was mine. I never listened when you told me to always keep my knife sheathed... A lesson I didn't took at heart..." Emily replied only for her brother to excuse himself and went outside. Rufus guessed beating the living hell out a boad, or a bear, or anything unfortunate enough that came his way. But they didn't expect the results of his rampage. A story that Baby would tell us one day.

"I'm guessing he won't be back today. Maybe a few more days?" Rufus asked and Emily giggled.. Tiny however scribbled something...

'Will he EVER come back?' Tiny wrote to Cutter who sighed. Otis wrote back 'I hope so.'

Then everyone remarked what Tiny meant and their eyes widdened in terror...

"I hope the kid won't mess up!" Otis for once, prayed that his brother won't do something that idiotic...

And he did went out for a few days. However, he did mess up, but made the family look at him with a new prespective.

He went on to fight each and every degenerate, lunatic and badass in the whole county of Ruggsville. The legend of the insane barbarian was born that day...

But for now, Baby made sure that Emily was recovering. By that, she picked her up and went upstairs to her room, laying the short girl gently on the bed before gently changing her clothes, then she wore her nightgown, and craddled her sister gently as the two girls went to the blessing known as sleeping...

"Ain't Baby an Angel when she wants to be, Honey?" Gloria asked Cutter who simply smiled.

"She's sweet alright, only in her 'Big sister mode' though..." Cutter went downstairs and laughed his ass out.

"What you think Rj? Think he'll be back?" Otis asked his brother with a hint of worry.

"He will brother." Rj may not always speak, but when he does, he almost gets to the point.

"Let's hope so boys, got a kid in, got another out..." Hugo said.

Meanwhile in the catacombs...

"Hello my good doctor. I wanted to ask you a few questions if your timeframe allows you to... And maybe have a friendly chat about a few insane ideas that would help science." The heavy man asked the doctor who listened.

It went for hours. They debated and exchanged many ideas and theories about what was and wasn't medically possible. But one thing would be known one day in that Texan County, that Doctor Satan was a harmless old man compared to the project that escaped...
