Joe and Dr. Director in Gemini's Lair
Dr. Director waits by Joe's side, wiping his forehead with a washcloth. The impact he had suffered taking the load of wall onto his back was enough to knock him out. She feels lucky enough to have found a kind lackey within Gemini's forces.
The lackey had some Medical training, and it was mediocre at best, but he did help as best as he can by bringing her water for Joe's forehead and a clean washcloth for her to use on it. Every thirty minutes, for three hours, he would pop in to check on him. Dr. Director checks her watch and notes it's about time for him to come in. When the time comes, she frowns with concern. She examines her watch and determines it's still working.
Suddenly, the door opens and sighs in relief as she turns around. To her horror, she doesn't see the kindly lackey around. The only one in the doorway is Gemini with his dog, Pepe. Gemini has a sinister smile on his face as he walks toward her.
Dr. Director asks, "Where's Medic? He's supposed to be here right now, not you."
Gemini frowns in confusion for an instant and snaps his fingers in recognition. "Medic, of course, the kindly lackey that brought you water for the Canuck. Medic has been liquidated as a result of his humanity. I have no room in my organization for lackeys with humanity in them."
Dr. Director snarls and says, "At least Medic had some humanity within him, which is more than I can say for you, Gemini. You are a disgrace to the family name. What happened to the kind, gentle brother I had?"
Gemini leans forward and replies, "He grew up and decided he wanted the world to be his oyster. I have sent my ransom demand to your people, Betty. If they want you back alive, they will give me the Ron Factor, be it real or not." That said, he walks back out the door and closes it with a massive slam.
The slam causes Joe to open his eyes and grin weakly at Dr. Director. He then asks, "Betty, did you get the size and color of the caribou that hit me? When I get out of the Hospital, I'm gonna go hunting for it."
Dr. Director chuckles at that and replies, "That was no caribou, Joe. It was a wall that hit you. We're not in the Hospital either for that matter. We're in Gemini's latest lair." She sighs and says, "Joe, I have something to tell you. You'll probably hate me for it. If you do, I wouldn't blame you. I hate myself at times."
Joe smiles weakly and says, "Give it to me, Betty. I can probably handle it."
Dr. Director raises her eyebrows and sadly smiles. She then says, "Gemini's my twin brother. At one time, he was a nice guy, but he changed, horribly. I stayed myself so I could find purpose in my life."
Joe nods and says, "I don't hate you for it. Neither should you, Betty. What matters is the heart within the person. You have a good heart, whereas Gemini is seriously lacking in the heart department."
She sighs with relief and lets out a giggle as she wipes Joe's forehead off, saying, "It's too bad you can't meet Medic. I was sure he'd accept an opportunity to join Global Justice."
Joe looks up at her and asks, "Why can't I meet Medic?"
Dr. Director frowns again and says, "He's been liquidated for being more human than any of those other jerks. Under Gemini's orders, of course."
Joe ponders this, nods and says, "Betty, I hate your brother, just so you know. He's not good company to be in. That's for sure." Dr. Director can only laugh and shake her head in agreement with that assessment. In a blind, unguarded moment, she bends down and gives him a peck on his cheek. She bends back up and smiles softly at him. Joe returns the smile and kisses the air right back at her, resulting in a blush from her.
