Same Night: Rose Hills, Tennessee
Inside: Timmy's Garage
Dipper is standing, looking down at Mabel as she sleeps. He's already fixed and bandaged the cuts on his arms. Beside them, Timmy continues to examine the suits when suddenly a pair of headlights shine through the windows.
Timmy looks up at Dipper, "Who's that?" Dipper doesn't answer and acts fast by quickly activating Mabel's suit, it powers up, and Dipper steps into it.
Dipper's voice in the suit tells Timmy, "Stay by Mabel and don't move." Timmy, afraid, nods and kneels down by Mabel's head.
As Dipper hears the person get out of the car and footsteps move closer to the garage. Timmy's breathing becomes heavier, and he jumps a bit as the unknown person knocks on the door.
Dipper holds his left hand out as he slowly grabs the handle in his right, then quickly turns the handle and opens the door, pointing his hand at the unknown figure.
The unknown person screams out, revealing to be Jazz Fenton. Dipper quickly lowers his hand, "What the hell, Dipper?" She asks angrily.
Dipper relieved, "Jazz." He looks around outside before gently grabbing Jazz's arm and pushing her inside. He closes the door. Jazz panting, still startled, Dipper turns to her as he steps out of the suit, "Thank god, you're here. Thinking you wouldn't come."
Jazz gives Dipper a confused and worried look, still panting as she looks at the cuts on his face, "Oh my god." Dipper notices her worried look as she stares at his face, but he shakes his head and waves her off with his hand. Jazz snaps out of it and tells him, "Of course, I came. You said it was urgent and that your sister was seriously hurt."
Dipper nods, "Yeah." He gestures with his hand to follow him, "Over here." He leads Jazz over to Mabel on the couch.
Timmy, who was beside Mabel, stands up, looking at Jazz confused, "Who's that?" Jazz kneels in front of Mabel, checking her temperature.
Dipper motions for Timmy to step away with his hand. Timmy moves away from Mabel and steps closer to Dipper as he explains, "This is Jazz, a good friend of mine." Both look at Jazz as she looks Mabel over, in full doctor mode, looking at the scratch on her face, "She's here to help Mabel get better." Jazz then gently pulls the blanket back to see the tourniquet around her waist to stop the bleeding. She gasps slightly at the sight before examining it. Dipper asks curiously, "So Doc, can you help her?"
Jazz covers Mabel back up with the blanket and stands up as she says, "I can help her." Jazz gives him a look.
Dipper sees Jazz's expression and tells the kid, "Kid, keep Mabel company for a moment."
Timmy, being his curious self, looks up at the adults and asks, "Why? Is Mabel going to die?"
Jazz looks down at Timmy as she answers honestly, "I don't know." She and Dipper then walk to the side as Timmy kneels back down beside Mabel. Jazz and Dipper stand side to side, far enough away from earshot but talk lowly, "I can operate, but it will take some time and a lot of help."
Dipper crosses his arms and narrows his eyes at Jazz, thinking as he asks, "How much time?"
Jazz answers with a worried look on her face, "It depends on how deep the glass went. I'm going to need your help with this cause one wrong move, and I could sever an artery, and she will bleed out." Dipper rubs his face, sighing a bit, taking the information in, then nods in understanding, "I need to be very careful, especially now that she is very weak and has lost a lot of blood. She's lucky to be alive right now."
Dipper looks at Jazz with a hard look, "She's strong, okay? She will make it through this." He turns away from Jazz as he mutters, "She has to." He looks at Mabel's sleeping form for a long second. Dipper turns back to Jazz, "What do you need from me?"

Outside / Inside: Garage
Outside by Jazz's car, Dipper and Jazz grab 4 big bags from the trunk.
Inside the Garage, Dipper and Timmy are clearing off a metal table of things as Jazz clears another smaller table with wheels.
Jazz quickly sprays disinfectant and wipes the bigger table down.
Dipper is setting up a laptop. The computer screen lights up.
Timmy moves a stool over to the large table.
Jazz sets a tray of medical tools on the wheely table with a bowl of water beside it.
Dipper moves two large lamps to either side of the table, turning them on for good lightning.
Jazz puts a large clean white blanket on the table.
Dipper sets down a few oxygen tanks beside the large table with the oxygen mask attached.
Timmy took boxes of surgical gloves, surgical masks, and surgical gowns out of the large bag that was brought in.
Dipper moves a coat rack over to the table beside the oxygen tanks. Jazz hangs an IV bag along with a blood bag of Mabel's blood type.
Timmy carefully sets a few extra IV bags on the second self of the wheely table.
Jazz puts on her gown and then puts on a surgical mask.
Dipper moves the blanket off of Mabel and picks her up bridal-style, and walks over to the table, gently setting her down on her back, on the table.
Jazz washes her hands. When done, she holds her hands up, helping Timmy put surgical gloves on her.
Dipper puts on his own gown and mask and washes his hands, putting the gloves on himself.
Jazz prepared Mabel but removed her ruined shirt, leaving her bra on, covering her chest with a blanket, covering her clothed lower section with another blanket, covering the other half of her stomach that's not wounded, and leaving the injury area bare. Jazz then inserts the IV needle in Mabel's right hand with the anesthesia along with the blood in the other hand.
Dipper gently puts the oxygen mask on Mabel, and Jazz turns the oxygen on. Jazz looks at Dipper, and he looks back, both exchanging an encouraging and reassuring nod.
Minutes Later
Jazz is operating on Mabel. She had already cleaned the blood from around the wound to see better and had already taken out a few small pieces of glass and is currently working on taking the largest piece of glass with 2 tweezers, the computer screen showing an x-ray of where the pieces are inside Mabel and her heart rate at the side.
Jazz asks Dipper as she focuses, "How did this happen?"
Dipper doesn't answer but asks bluntly, "Don't you watch the news?"
Jazz rolls her eyes before focusing back on Mabel, "Seriously, how did this happen to her?"
Dipper hesitates and sighs before admitting, "I threatened a terrorist. They attacked my home, and Mabel got hurt. What can I say? This happened because of me."
Jazz was sympathetic and about to say something before cutting herself off and removing the large piece, "Okay, Dipper, I need the bowl." Dipper quickly grabs the bowl and holds it out as Jazz slowly and gently removes the largest piece of glass from Mabel's waist. Jazz tells Dipper, "Monitor the screen as I take the glass out. Tell me if you notice anything." Dipper nods and looks at the laptop.
Dipper looked at the x-ray, "Okay, doing great." Jazz takes the largest piece out, drops it in the bowl, and then quickly removes the tiny pieces from the open wound.
Jazz asks Dipper, not looking away from the open wound, "How many pieces are there?"
Dipper answers as he stares at the screen, "5 and the really tiny little thing there." He points at an area on the screen. Jazz glances at where he's pointing before quickly getting to work.
Jazz takes out the 3 shallowest ones and drops them into the bowl before going deeper to grab the other 3, seeing the tiny-tiny one that Dipper pointed out first.
Second Montage: Jazz / Mabel / Dipper
Inside / Outside: Garage
A couple of hours later, after successfully taking all the pieces of glass out, Jazz stitches Mabel up with Dipper wrapping a bandage firmly on the area as it's one long line with two shorts, one on either side, a smaller one below them and a slightly bigger one above the 3, revealing 5 lines with 6 unstitchable cuts around them.
Jazz cleaned the surgical tools that she used with her disinfectant spray.
Dipper goes outside, takes out 3 large thick black garbage bags, and throws them in a nearby dumpster.
Minutes Later
Mabel's now on the couch with a new IV and blood bags beside her, along with the computer screen showing her steady heart rates as she's breathing on her own.
Dipper, with a pair of surgical tongs, holds up the piece of glass that was inside Mabel, staring at it blankly with a hint of anger.
Jazz slowly walks up to Dipper, "I gotta tell you, Dipper, you handled that very well." Dipper looks at her, "Most people wouldn't have handled that as well as you."
Dipper tells Jazz a little bitterly, "Well, my focus was keeping her alive." Jazz nods her head, knowing that's the answer she will get. Jazz turns to walk away, but Dipper stops her, "Hey, Doc?" Jazz turns to look at him, "Thank you for saving her life." Jazz smiles a bit and nods her head before she walks away toward Mabel.
Dipper turns back to the bowl of glass with the water red of Mabel's blood, his expression hard.
Later: In Town
After making sure Jazz is okay being with Mabel alone, Dipper and Timmy go into town.
Dipper comments on the supplies he asked Timmy to get, "The sandwich was fair, the spring was a little rusty, and the rest of the materials, I'll make do." They turn to an alley around a corner, Dipper wearing a hat and jacket, "By the way, when you said your sister had a watch-"
Timmy looks at Dipper, "Yeah?"
Dipper pulls up his left sleeve to see him wearing a pink Dora watch for children, "-I was kinda hoping for something a little more than that." He pulls his sleeve down as he and Timmy walk down the alley.
Timmy laughs in amusement and exclaims, "She's six! Anyway, it's a limited edition. When can we talk about New York?"
Dipper answers stiffly, "Maybe never. Relax about it."
Timmy asks Dipper, "What about the Avengers? Can you talk about that?"
Dipper answers annoyingly, "I dunno. Later." He sees the kid walking too close and holds his arms out, and Timmy moves away, "Hey, kid, give me a little space." They stop at the end of the alley, and Dipper looks at the remains of the local explosion site he read earlier and starts to investigate, "What's the official story here? What happened?" They walk closer to see a memorial and candles for those who died.
Timmy, sad, explains, "I guess this guy named Edwin Durland used to live roundabouts." The kid sits down at the edge of the crater as he continues to explain, "He won a bunch of medals in the army. And one day, folks said he went crazy and made, you know, a bomb." Dipper walks up to the wall with black human figure shadows. He touches one, grazing his fingers a bit, "Then he blew himself up, right there."
