A/N A plan is made for Yazoo's treatment and we learn more of Vincent and Nero.

Disclaimer: I own nothing


Sephiroth stepped off the elevator and walked down the corridor . He found the physio therapy department with no trouble and went inside . He was looking around trying to find Vincent when he heard a voice behind him" Are you looking for my father?" Sephiroth turned around and saw a boy about Yazoo's age standing behind him. He long black hair and red eyes. He looked very much like the very person he was looking for . " If you mean Vincent Valentine , then yes I am, but how did you know?" Nero smiled , " You look like Yazoo. I assumed you were related to him . I usually join my father for lunch right after Yazoo's physio session." Nero said indicating the bag in his right hand. It was from the coffee shop where Nero worked . " Oh I see . Yes I am Yazoo's older brother Sephiroth . I am suppossed to be having a meeting with your dad but I can't find him." Nero shook Sephiroth's hand " A pleasure to meet you. My name is Nero. If my father is having a meeting with you it will , more than likely be in his private office . Follow me , I will take you there" Nero turned and headed towards the back of the physio department.

They arrived at an office door and Nero knocked, before opening the door and sticking his head in ," Are you there dad?,Mr. Winters is here to see you." Sephiroth smiled at how polite Nero was , " Please Nero , call me Sephiroth."

Vincent stood up from his desk and walked over to hug his son," Oh Nero I'm so sorry . I am not going to be able to have lunch with you. I have to talk to Sephiroth and Yazoo about the next step in Yazoo's recovery . How about we stop by a restaurant on the way home tonight for dinner? Will that be ok?"

" Yes dad that will be fine , and don't worry about lunch , I will just go eat with Shelke.I'll see you later ok. " Nero said returning the hug . " Bye Yazoo , Bye Sephiroth." He said and walked out of his father's office closing the door behind him.

" Your son is very polite Vincent . I am very impressed with his maturity." Sephiroth said shaking Vincent's hand once again. Vincent smiled , pride showing whenever his son received praise. " Thanks alot . I have been raising him on my own since he was born . He was born pre-mature , and there were complications. My wife died during the childbirth. Some fathers would blame the child for this , but it was not his fault. " Vincent said . Yazoo noticed the look of sadness in his eyes" Are you ok Vincent ?" Vincent nodded . " My wife's family consider him a monster because she died giving birth to him. They said they wanted nothing to do with him , and have refused to even acknowledge him , let alone help me raise him. So I did it on my own . It was hard , especially with the disease he has been living with. But we made it and I am so proud of him ." Sephiroth walked over to Yazoo and ran a hand through his hair. " I can totally relate to how hard it can be. When our parents died I was only 18. I was in college and was suddenly the legal guardian of 3 small children. Loz was 10 , Kadaj and this one were only 7. It wasn't easy , but I had a lot of support from my friends, Zack and Aerith. And especially Cloud . " Yazoo rolled his eyes . " Cloud helped a little too much." he muttered under his breath . " I heard that ! Don't be a smart ass Yazoo." Sephiroth said ruffling the boy's hair. " Oh stop it Sephiroth! It's bad enough when Loz does that!" Yazoo said shoving Sephiroth's hand away.

Sephiroth laughed and helped Yazoo fix his hair again. " I wish I could get this stupid cast off" Yazoo grumbled looking at his left wrist. " You will very soon Yazoo " Vincent said sitting at his desk once again . " Please take a seat Sephiroth," Vincent said indicating the empty chair across from him, " We should get started".

Sephiroth nodded and pushed Yazoo's chair closer the the chair he was going to be seated in. He wanted Yazoo close , just in case what they were about to discuss upset his little brother.

" Yazoo is progressing better than I initially thought. I feel he is almost ready for his first prosthetic. This will be a very basic prostetic. Once he learns to walk on it he can move to a more advanced Prosthetic. ." Vincent told them .

" Yazoo sat up straighter in his wheelchair at hearing this . Can I get something as advanced as your hand?" he asked excitedly.

" Slow down kiddo , let's not get ahead of ourselves." Sephiroth cautioned with a laugh.

Vincent thought for a few minutes and got up from his desk and went to a file cabinet. " I have been thinking about that Yazoo. If you are planning on riding again and performing the way you used to, You may need something a little more advanced ". He layed a plan on the desk in front of Sephiroth and Yazoo." I have been designing this for a few years, hoping to never have to use it." Sephiroth looked at the plan . " Is this what I think it is?" Vincent nodded ," yes it's a highly advanced prostetic. It is shaped as close as possible to a real lower leg and foot.I can even have a synthetic latex skin put on it to look like your skin tone Yazoo."

Yazoo sized up the plan with interest while Vincent and Sephiroth continued to go over details about the next stage of Yazoo's progress. When they were finished Sephiroth and Yazoo were both pleased . In 1 week Yazoo was going to have his first prostesis and he was going to attemp to walk for the first time. " Now you will have to stay in a wheelchair for most of the time starting off ok" Vincent cautioned. " But eventually you will be able to walk as if the prosthetic is almost as natural as your real limb" Yazoo bowed his head , " But it will never be as good as my real leg , I Know, but I am gonna try. " Vincent looked at Yazoo " Don't worry. It will be fine. He then turned to Sephirooth ," what was the other think you wanted to discuss with me?"

Sephiroth looked at Vincent and leaned in closer " Reno Sinclaire"
