It's just another day in their lives. A day to get yelled at by Dr Cox, eating bad food in the cafeteria, get yelled at by Dr Cox some more, oh and helping patients of course.
That's why I started to study to become a doctor. To help people. Take away their pain. Since my childhood wasn't one of the best I was seeking redemption somehow and found it in the medicine world.
Zack wasn't happy at my decision. It meant I had to stay at one place for a couple of years, and he had a rule that we were never suppose to stay at one place more then 3 months.
He screamed, yelled and ordered me not to become a doctor.
But I didn't let him move me. Zack didn't talk to me for 3 months after that day.
Then one day I got a card by the mail. A card of the Blue Lady. Our childhood's protector. The one who was looking after us. He gave me my blessing in silence.
Yes, in silence. He was never going to admit it out loud. Because let's face it. It's Zack we're talking about here. You can't make Zack talk about his feeling no more then you can get Dr Perry Cox go one day without insulting people. That's who they are.
So here I am. Walking around as a doctor. Helping people. Healing people.
Healing people. Wow...it feels weird to say it. I wasn't made to heal people, I was made to destroy and kill them in silence.
But it changed 14 years ago, today. That's when I escaped. Escaped to freedom with my family.
Escaped to heal...
"Yo Newbie! Get your girlie butt down here now or I swear this will end badly."
J.D sighed out loud. Dr Cox was in a bad mood. And when Dr Cox was in a bad mood. Everyone got in a bad mood. Just what he needed today.
"Angela, I haven't got all day!"
The new nurse Angela looked around confused and saw J.D made a face when he walked by her.
"Don't worry. It's me he means." He said encouragingly to the girl and she smiled weakly.
J.D walked up and found Cox standing next to Kelso. Uh oh. This couldn't be good!
"Bob here thinks you got a thing for the new nurse and I tell them that you do NOT have a things for girls. Because you are one yourself..." Dr Cox started and J.D stopped listening for a few seconds when he turned his hearing to the stairways instead.
He increased his hearing and heard light footsteps running from 2 floor.
He wrinkled his eyebrows. Since when does anyone in this place run with light footsteps?
"...and Kelso believes that we should throw out 5 patients just so his gardener can get room space. Are we gonna obey?" Cox finished his speech and glanced at newbie. Great, the kid wasn't listening. Again!
Cox opened his mouth to growl at J.D when he noticed that something in J.D had changed. His eyes were cold and dark and he had within a few seconds changed from a relaxed and goofy posture to stern and combat ready one.
J.D's eyes were fixed on the stairways like he was waiting for someone.
The door opened and a young man with blonde hair and blue eyes stepped through it. Cox couldn't help but notice that the aura around the young man were screaming "warrior" long way.
J.D and the man locked eyes and they both tensed for a short minute when J.D relaxed completely and smiled a wry smile.
The other man relaxed also but he didn't move a muscle in his face. The only thing that betrayed that he was happy to the other man, was his eyes. They were shining with pride when he walked towards J.D.
"Well, look at you. I wouldn't say that blue is your colour, but hey. It looks good on you!" he said
J.D giggled for a few seconds and walked towards his brother and hugged him.
"Well, it was either that or purple scrubs." J.D answered him and to his delight Zack chuckled.
"Purple's so not your colour Jay!" Zack answered while checking his stethoscope.
"Well look who's speaking mister I-wear-black-because-I-like-to-brood!" J.D replied with a teasing voice.
Before Zack had the chance to reply they heard a loud coughing beside them.
"Look newbie. Not that I love to see how this turns out but you have a job to do and you do not have the time to stand around with your friend and chit chat all day. So I suggest you get to work." Cox said with a mild voice and Zack saw the surprise on J.D's face.
"Yes Dr Cox, it's just that..." J.D started with respect in his voice.
"No, your friend can not go with you when you take care of the patients. His punk look would most certainly scare all the older patients to death. Not to mention those eyes that would scare any normal person from his mind." Cox rambled and didn't miss the fast movement when J.D grabbed the other man's hand before it got the chance to strike him.
But unfortunately J.D couldn't stop the mouth from talking.
"Let go of my hand Jay. And let me finish him!" the other man growled and to Cox's biggest surprise, J.D growled back in the same tone.
"This is so not the right time to get hurt feelings Zack. This is my job. And my job is to make sure that I follow his orders."
"Orders!" Zack spat out the words with disgust.
"Yes orders!" J.D claimed
Their argument were cut out when their attention were brought somewhere else.
They both turned their heads and looked down the corridor and watched three men appear. The brothers easily recognised who they were. Bounty hunters from T-Red. A company that recently joined forces with Manticore to catch the escaped X5's.
And the trouble was. J.D and Zack were two of them.
