A/N: As Costa Del Sol means "coast of the sun" in Spanish I'm going to base the characteristics of the people from Costa Del Sol on Spain and the same goes for the language. Costan is what I will be calling the language and the people of Costa Del Sol. If I make any mistakes please tell me so I can sort it out. I will always try to put a translation at the bottom.
By the way how many of you recognised that Sky' middle name and surname is the name of my favourite character Savannah Levine from The Women of the Otherworld books.
We've been sitting in silence for a while as Tseng drives, I've never liked doctors. The only experience I've had with doctors was the creepy slum doctor, Dr Garrison. No matter what age I was when I went in there he'd always get me to strip so he could take photos for 'analysing,' I've always thought it was kind of strange. "Tseng, why are you taking me to the doctors? I feel fine, nothing's wrong with me."
"Rufus just wanted you to get checked out; it's a simple check-up."
"As I am technically a Shinra, does that make me your boss?"
"In a way, yes."
"So if I say that I don't want to see a doctor, I don't have to. Right, 'cause you have to do what I say?"
"Wrong, Rufus is vice president and heir to the Shinra Company. You're not even recognised as a Shinra, and even if you were Rufus would still be higher ranking than you, so we would still follow his orders over yours." Well that shut me up, "It's just a routine check up." I curl up in my seat and fall asleep hoping that when I wake up this nightmare would be over.
I'm falling in and out of consciousness, I'm very much aware that there's a pair of strong arms around me firmly but gently holding me up close to a warm and hard but still comfortable body. I can vaguely remember when I was last held like this; I was five and it was the last time I saw my grandparents. I snuggle up closer hoping this dream doesn't end like the others, with the memory of Leanne dragging me away from them. I grab a fistful of clothing belonging to who ever it is carrying me and take a in a deep breath trying to remember what my grandparents smelt like, this person smelt clean and fresh with a the light smell of tobacco and spices lingering on the fabric of their shirt. Tobacco. I remember that my Grandfather always smelt of tobacco, I try to call out to him. "¿Abuelo?" I get no answer. I can hear chuckling, I look up to see Leanne laughing at me, her face starts to change shape becoming more angular, her skin gets lighter and her dark hair turns bright red, she carries on changing until I find myself staring up at Reno. I'm now fully awake; Reno's carrying laughing as he carries me down a sterile and clinical looking hall. He places me in a chair in the room we just entered; I noticed Cissnei was no longer with us. In walks a rather tall woman with short black hair talking to Tseng she sits in the chair opposite me, the two Turks are stood behind me. "Where am I, where's Cissnei?"
"She's gone ta pick up my stuff and bring it to our apartment yo." The Doctor logs onto her computer, from the angle that the screen is sitting on the desktop I can see that she's looking at a file with my name on it. There's only my name, date of birth, and Leanne's name down as my mother, the space where my father's name should be is left blank. The woman looks up to me with a bright beaming smile, she seems strangely over enthusiastic and happy.
"Hello Sky-Blue," again I wince at the use of my full name. "I'm Dr Warner, and as my file on you is a little short so first I'm going to ask you a few questions to make sure it's all correct and to bring it up to date. So your name is Sky-Blue Savannah Levine, correct?" I nod my head. "You're sixteen years old, and was born on the 3rd of June 1995. Your mother is Miss Leanne Constavios Levine, yes?"
"Yes."
"Okay, it does not mention of your father; do you know who he is?" I shake my head. "Your name is costan right, are you a full costan?"
"No, Leanne's full costan, I'm not sure but I'm presuming my father is white." I don't look much like a costan I only inherited two things from Leanne; my dark sapphire blue eyes that have a slight hit of violet, and my naturally curvy figure. With my white blonde hair, very pale skin and the small gathering of freckles on the top of my nose and cheeks I don't look much like the ebony haired, olive skinned sex goddesses you see on TV.
"Right, now I don't have any height or weight data on here so I'm going to have to measure and weigh you. So if you could just stand with your back straight against that measuring stick." I walk over to the giant ruler standing with my back to it; Dr Warner follows me and checks. "Five foot three." Reno's chuckling to himself.
"She's a munchkin yo." The doctor frowns at Reno, I decide to try Tseng's tactic and choose to ignore him.
"Next can you stand one those scales so I can check your weight." I stand on them looking down watching as the numbers go up, "You'll need to stand straight otherwise it'll make you heavier than you are." I straighten myself, and she takes down my weight. "You're a little underweight; Tseng said that you're from the slums?" I nod my confirmation, "You'll need to try to bring that up so I would suggest eating more." She walks back over to the computer and types in what she's found. She takes a few more tests; a blood pressure check and checking my breathing. "You may want these two to leave as I need you answer some more questions."
"Why, I don't have anything to hide?"
"Okay, but if you feel uncomfortable you can ask for some privacy anytime you want. I need you to be honest with me, are you sexually active?"
"No."
"Really? You can ask Reno and Tseng to leave if you don't feel comfortable talking about this in front of them."
"Honestly, why can't you believe that I'm a virgin? Just because I'm a slums girl and my mother was a whore it doesn't mean I'm a slag too. Unless, does that one time I had sex with my ex best friend Alison count?" Tseng and Doctor Warner turn bright red, Reno too from trying to hold in his laughter. "I'll never mix weed and drink again."
"U-um…..h-have you suffered any mental traumas?"
"Oh yeah loads, where do I begin? First there was Jerry, one of Leanne's boyfriend when I was six he tried to get me to give him a blow job by pinching my nose to get me to open my mouth, I didn't so I passed out from not being able to breathe. Mick and his son Max used to watch my through the keyhole in the bathroom door while I was gettin' changed, Gary would creep into my bedroom at night and jerk himself off while kneeling on top off me. Dr Garrison would make me strip and take pictures of me every time I went to see him, Freddy would –"
"I-I think that's all I need to hear. I'm going to find you a very good and understanding therapist; they'll sort out your problems."
"I don't have any problems. I've dealt with it all, I've had to." She starts to stare at the scars on my arms that she's just noticed. I try to hide them, "That was a long time ago." Tseng steps forward and rests a hand on my shoulder.
"Perhaps we should let Sky settle in first and see how she adapts here before putting her through that."
"I suppose so, I have no more tests to do so I thinks that's all for today." The three of us left, walked down the hall to an elevator, and waited in silence until we got to the car park. The ride home was also silent and awkward.
When Reno and I enter our apartment I noticed it had a lot more stuff in here, I go into the bedroom and look in the wardrobe; there's a lot of clothes in here now that I'm sure wasn't here this morning. There's a few men's clothes and blue suits, there is also quite a lot of women's clothes, picking one dress I see that it is in my size. My stomach starts to complain, I haven't eaten anything all day. I go into the kitchen to find Reno already looking through the full refrigerator, he turns at my presence. "You hungry too yo?"
"Yeah what's in there?"
"A shit load of healthy crap, I bet they got that rookie Elena to do the food shop yo. Have you ever eaten wutai?"
"Yeah once, it was pretty good."
"Fancy takeout then? Can't be assed to cook."
"Sure." He takes out his phone from the inner pocket of his suit jacket and hits a single number.
"You've got a wutai takeaway on speed dial?" When the food got here I watched Reno pay the man, when he opened his wallet I got a good eye full of gil. "How much do Turks get paid?"
"Enough to make all the shit we do worth it."
"So as I'm a Shinra, that like make you my bitch doesn't it?"
"Shut up an' eat your food."
A crackle of electricity shot across the heavens, I almost jumped out of my skin. "What the fuck was that! Was that lightning?"
"Oh yeah, this'll be your first thunder and lightning storm. I remember my first one, didn't sleep a wink." I go to bed, deciding that I've got another busy day so I better get a good night sleep. I strip off my clothes before going to bed, I'm almost asleep when I feel more weight going on the bed. I turn over to see Reno climbing in, I then realise that I'm in a bed, naked, with some random man that I only met this morning and a thunder storm bellowing above us. This going to be a long night.
A/N: "Abuelo" is Spanish for grandfather; I don't plan to put much Spanish in here. Also I will be doing some parts in Reno's point of view, as I want to show how the characters develop as well as their relationship. Thanks for reading, please review.
