Thank you Guest for the review. I appreciate it. I'm updating this early just for you.
This is a semi-fight and a cheap shot. I know this is cliché but who doesn't want to see this happen?
I don't own Generator Rex.
The Forgotten
"Six, you have to take it easy! I'm surprised your ligaments haven't been torn in half. Right now you have contusions on your wrists and muscle sprain in both rotator cuffs…"
"Is that all?"
"Be serious! You exasperated your injuries during your fight at Hotel Kiev. These can have long term affects if you don't give your muscles time to heal."
"I'll do a couple of stretches. It should be better by morning."
"No, Six! It won't be better by morning. You're going to feel stiff and if you're lucky, the pain will only be a dull ache instead of a throbbing pain."
"Nothing some ibuprofen can't handle."
"Oh, and when did you get your doctor's license?"
"Holiday, I'm fine. This happens all the time. I will be fine by tomorrow."
"Oh, you're such a stubborn... Fine, if you want to ruin your health that's your business. But I'm not going to just let you walk out of here. "
"...Holiday what are you doing?"
"Just shut up and let me do my job."
"This is highly inappropriate... "
"Look, this massage is to keep the blood flow moving so that it doesn't collect in one area and... Hey, let go of me."
"I fully intend to. I do not need a massage."
"So you have a physical therapy degree now too?"
"This isn't necessary."
"Six, you either let me treat you or I go tell White right now to take you off active duty."
"You wouldn't."
"Try me."
"... Now who's stubborn?"
"Takes one to know one."
"All right but make it quick."
"It's going to take as long as I deem necessary. I am the doctor. Now take off your shirt and lie down."
"What?"
"This way I can reach your shoulders better unless you want me to stand on the exam table rubbing your scratchy, starched shirt against your skin..."
...
"There that wasn't so bad now was it? I'm going to put a hot pack on your right shoulder while I work on your left."
...
"This would be easier if you'd relax."
"I am relaxed."
"Yes, and I can tell how relaxed you are by how tight your muscles feel... Yes, totally relaxed. Seriously Six, I don't bite. Loosen up."
"I heard you reneged on your deal with Rex."
"I didn't renege... Did he say I... I said if he brought back samples, I'd have dinner with him ... And unfortunately he didn't."
"You were really going to have dinner with him if he had?"
"Technically, I have dinner with him every night. But if had bought back those samples… I guess I would have had a slice of pizza with him."
…
"Stop smirking, Six. But I am glad you all made it back safely."
"How is everyone else?"
"Well Calan got the worse of it. He had a concussion and some of the bones in his foot have fractured. I couldn't believe he was even able to limp much less walk. He's going to be on desk duty until he is cleared to work."
"You're not going to give him a massage too?"
"He's not as stubborn as you. The most he did was grumble when I put on the cast."
"Hmph, I guess I can be thankful that I'm not that bad off."
"Oh you are that bad off but I know you would go crazy on desk duty. So I am offering you the next best thing, which hopefully will keep you from getting yourself killed."
"Ooph, I'm not going to get myself killed... Rex will probably do that for me."
"Ha, he's not that bad."
"Kid needs more training before he gets himself seriously hurt."
"Like you."
"This is different."
"Sure, keep telling yourself that. There. That shoulder's done. Now the next one."
"Do you have to?"
"So you'd prefer one shoulder stiffer than the other?"
"... I'd prefer to go back to my room now."
"Sure... As soon as I finish your shoulder. In the meantime I'm going to wrap this one in an ice pack to keep down the swelling.
"Has anyone looked at that data rod yet?"
"Yes, it's amazing. I have my assistants working on sorting through the information. It's just a matter of time before we have the technology to predict the type of EVO's a person is likely to turn into."
"I suppose that is helpful."
"The more important thing is locating where the nanites have bonded to our cells. Maybe if there was a way to break them…"
"Holiday?"
"Oh, I'm sorry Six. Drifted off there a second."
"Yes, I noticed. There are no injuries on my chest."
"Eh-hem yes, umm, well, I guess we're done here then. You can go back to your room and sulk."
"I don't sulk and now that my shoulders are treated, I think I'll go train Rex."
"Six! You can't just immediately go back to training! You might strain your…. Wait, you're joking aren't you."
…
"Well, you got me. Now go on and get out of here before I do put you on desk duty with Calan."
"Yes, doctor."
"Don't doctor me, mister. Try not to get injured so soon because the next visit I won't go easy on you."
"Too bad."
"What?"
"Nothing."
