Okay Finally the story!
Phil had stayed up all night trying to find the best psychiatrist and for once in his life the cost was not an issue. Phil felt guilty enough for getting Nosedive in that situation and making him go through that but the after math that Nosedive had to deal with made Phil's stomach turn. So Phil worked as hard as he could to make that happy go lucky teenager happy once more.
So Phil did his research, found his statistics and finally came to a very close conclusion that Dr. Patty Springsfield was the best for the job, and not only was she excellent, her specialty was dealing with children in Nosedive's situation.
She happily agreed to take the job when it became offered to her. But not before asking some very weird questions that Phil thought had nothing to do with anything, but after all she was the professional. Some of the questions included what was his most hated commercial, what type of shows did he hate the most, and a few other opinionated things.
Now all Phil had left to do was tell WildWing so he could tell Nosedive.
The entire team was inside the living room playing cards. Nosedive played on WildWing's team. It was an excuse to be anti-social, but it worked and no one said anything. Nosedive didn't have to talk or anything, that was WildWing's job.
"Um WildWing", said Phil, "Can I see for you a minute?"
"Sure", replied WildWing. Than towards Nosedive, "Be right back Dive."
Nosedive nodded as he sadly watched his brother walk away.
"Yeah Phil", asked WildWing once they were inside.
"Okay I found a therapist", said Phil, "She is excellent, the best in her field."
"Great", sighed WildWing.
"WildWing", said Phil, "Don't worry you're doing the right thing."
"Am I?"
"Yeah of course", replied Phil, "All the way. Oh and don't worry about the price I have it covered."
WildWing stared at Phil.
"I'm serious WildWing", said Phil, "This is my fault and I am going to do as much as I can to make this right."
"Phil", sighed WildWing, "As much as I would like to blame you, this isn't your fault. I know I haven't been really kind to you lately but its hard not to be able to blame anyone."
"Understood", said Phil, "But I still feel guilty."
"Don't", replied WildWing, "You didn't put Nosedive in a dangerous situation, you had no intention for anything to happen. The fact that it did had nothing to do with you. This could have happened no matter what, and it wasn't your fault."
"But the kid didn't even want to go."
"What do you want me to say Phil", said WildWing raising his voice, "You're making me defend you, do you want me to say yes this is your fault? Well it's not so just."
WildWing breathed in.
"I'm sorry", he said, "Just very-"
"Upset?"
"Yeah, and thanks for the help I would have never been able to find someone that would over qualify, thanks."
"No problem, it's the least I can do."
"I'm still uneasy with this whole idea", said WildWing, "I mean Nosedive won't even open up to me."
"What are you talking about", asked Phil, "The kid has been with you nonstop."
"No I mean he won't talk about anything, the entire time that we were in that room during the game, he didn't say anything about anything! What makes anyone think that he's going to talk to some stranger?"
"She is a trained professional and is an expert in dealing with these kinds of situations, it's not that she-"
The conversation would have continued if not for an ear piercing shriek by Nosedive. WildWing and Phil sprung out of their seats and into the kitchen to find the poor teenager on the ground. The rest of the team were trying to help him up but he curled in defense.
"What happened", exclaimed WildWing rushing over to his brother helping him up.
"We all tripped on top of each other, and we kinda landed on Nosedive", said Canard.
WildWing brought his brother to his chest for safe protection, "What are you talking about?"
"We just tripped", said Mallory, "But we all fell on top of Nosedive, and it well you know, a man on top of him, pick up the drift?"
"Oh oh", replied WildWing, "Nosedive its okay."
The team remained silent for the two brothers.
"Okay what do we all say to eating out", asked Duke.
"Yum that sounds good", said Mallory, "I'm starved."
Nosedive shook his head no, "I don't want to", said Nosedive quietly,
"Please Wing."
"Why don't you guys go", said WildWing, "Nosedive and I will order room service."
"But Wing", said Canard.
"That's fine", said Tanya cutting him off, "We'll see you guys later."
"Actually", said Phil, "I just got off the phone, and Dr. Springsfield would like it if we all met her for dinner."
"Who's that", asked Tanya.
"Um", said Phil, "What do you think?"
"Oh", said Tanya, "That was fast."
"Incredibly", replied Canard.
"What are they talking about WildWing", asked Nosedive.
"Um Dive we decided-"
"Dr. Springsfield said she'll introduce herself and occupation at dinner", said Phil.
"If you say so", replied WildWing.
~Dinner~
The group sat down. Nosedive was still uncomfortable with the idea of eating out in public but he showed no resistance not wanting to gain any attention.
Dr. Springsfield planned on being seven minutes late; it was all part of her way of getting to know Nosedive, the team, and to comfort Nosedive. Of course it sounded ridiculous to Phil on the phone, but she had more experience and told him to just wait.
Ms Springsfield was a dirty blonde woman in her mid thirties with triangular glasses. She was very petite, very kind, and very good at what she does.
She walked in and easily spotted the ducks.
"Hello everyone", said Ms Springsfield, "My name is Patty Springsfield, but you can just call me Patty."
"Hello doctor", said Phil, "I'm Phil Palmfeather we spoke earlier on the phone."
"Oh hi there Phil."
The two shook hands, than Patty sat down.
"So how is everyone?"
"Been better", said Canard.
"Doctor I'm Canard Thunderbeak, this is Mallory McMallard, Tanya Vanderblock, Grin Hardwing, Duke L'Orange, and than these two over here are the Flashblade brothers, WildWing and Nosedive."
"Oh hello there Nosedive."
Nosedive remained silent.
"Nosedive", said Patty, "Do you drive?"
Nosedive nodded.
"Well than you know how horrible traffic can be, sorry I'm late but traffic was just awful. Don't you just hate that Nosedive?"
This time Nosedive nodded.
"Another thing that I can't stand is that annoying cat commercial on TV. I mean that commercial just keeps going and going and going, it never ends! And is it me or are they trying to hypnotize us with that ball of yarn?"
Nosedive's eyes practically bulged out of his head, "Yes! See WildWing I told you it wasn't just me!" Patty smiled, now the kid was talking.
"Yeah well", said Mallory, "I think you're both crazy."
"Don't mind them", said Patty, "They're just not as clever as us, but they'll be thanking us when we save the world from those mutant cats!"
Nosedive giggled.
So the evening continued and Nosedive began to talk more and more. Everyone was impressed by Patty's techniques and took in a great liking to her even though she only talked to Nosedive except WildWing who was still uneasy about the whole idea. However she had not onced mentioned the "incident", and Nosedive still didn't know who she was.
However time passed and it was finally time for Patty to part, or that's what Nosedive thought.
"She's coming home with us", stuttered Nosedive, "Why?"
"Um Nosedive", said WildWing, "Patty happens to be a therapist and uh-"
"I don't need help!"
"Nosedive-"
"NO!"
Nosedive ran out of the restaurant and into the parking lot. He sat on a bench shivering of the past. Trepidation met him quickly, but luckily WildWing was there to aid him in fight against fear.
"Nosedive", said WildWing, "Please I'm uneasy with this too, but why don't we just give this a shot okay?"
"NO!"
"Why not?"
Nosedive thought about it, "Because there's nothing wrong me!" "Nosedive", said WildWing sternly.
"Fine well that's not my fault!"
"I'm not blaming you Dive, I could never do that. But I think its my responsibility to help you. Look I don't to do this but-"
"So why are we?"
"I don't know Dive, I just don't know anything anymore. But I'm all out of ideas so let's just try for a few days and see what happens, all right?"
"But I don't want to talk about it!"
"But sometimes talking about things are the best medications. Please Dive let's just try this, that's all I'm asking."
"But you can't leave me alone with her!"
"I thought you liked her."
"I do, but I don't want to be you know-"
"It's all right you don't have to tell me, I'll be there for you, okay? We're family."
Nosedive hugged his brother.
"Nosedive I promise you I'll work something out, kay?"
Nosedive nodded, "If you say so."
WildWing didn't see much of a difference unlike the rest of the team, for once Nosedive had started to talk happily again, and this time it was to a complete stranger, and not his brother.
The next morning Nosedive would start therapy whether he wanted to, or not.
