Chapter four: The worst hospital visit ever
The day had finally passed and the time had come for the Allies and Axis to meet up at the hospital. While inside they had to wait in a check-in line before visiting though the tension between the eight was almost unbearable.
"I don't understand why we needed to bring those three along?" England muttered. "It seems like coming was pointless with them here."
"Ah England, your tsundere is off the charts today." France remarked. He then glared at Germany. "Besides, even if they did try anything funny we would easily be able to overpower them."
Noticing France's stare, Germany gave a retort. "Just remember that if you do anything that could be a threat to us I'll shoot you through the head." They glared at each other until being disrupted by the loud voice of America.
"Hey knock it off you two! We have a mission to fulfill here!" Everyone looked at him with annoyance and bitterness. Everyone (except for Italy who was just happy to get to hang out with big brother France) was in an impatient mood.
"Veeeeee~~~~~ Doitsu, Why are we here anyways?"
"Hm? You didn't get a call?" Italy shook his head. "I just followed you." He smiled innocently.
Germany pinched the rim of his nose, wondering why Italy had come so willingly even though he wasn't told anything. "Vell apparently the allies found a group of women and some of them were of Axis decent so they needed us for expertise...Or at least that is the story they told me." He mumbled.
"Werr there is no point in compraining now. We are arr here now so we might as werr become comfortabre around each other."
"Well do you mind getting comfortable somewhere else?" The countries turned to see an anxious desk woman tapping her newly manicured nails on a thick pile of papers on her desk. She had her head cocked to the side causing her glasses to fall down her nose which revealed purple bags under her eyes.
The woman was giving off a hostile aura toward the eight.
"Aiya…What kind of hospital hires a scary woman like that?!" China muttered so that only the other countries around him could hear; they nodded their heads slightly in agreement.
"This is a hospital not a grocery store, now either ya'll tell me what you need or get out!" She sneered. The countries hesitated to do anything, but then to everyone's surprise Italy stepped forward.
"Veeeeee~~~~~~~ Ciao Bella signora (Hello pretty lady), we've come to see some friends." He grabbed her hand and began shaking it vigorously.
"H-h-hey! Stop that!" She pulled her hand away quickly. "Do you have any idea how many people come in here every day? Be more specific with who you're looking for or get out." Italy looked hurt from her snarky tone.
"Hey there's no reason to be so rude to him when he hasn't done anything to you! We just need to find these women." France held up the photo that they had found earlier. The front desk woman looked at it intriguingly then looked up at the men and sighed.
"I'm sorry for my rudeness but I've been up all night trying to figure out information on those patients that came in yesterday. I'm glad someone with connections has finally come up. May I ask how you know them?"
The countries exchanged looks then gave mixed answers.
"We're friends."
"We're their insurance agents."
"Da. They're our sisters. ^J^"
England, Japan, and Russia all looked at each other. England spoke up as nonchalantly as possible. "Yes, they're our sisters." He thought to himself "What a stupid lie; She'll never believe this."
The woman (along with all the other countries) looked with confusion but decided to accept the lie. "Well okay then. Just sign in your names and I'll give you the information you'll need." The woman sounded as though she was trying to make up for her temper earlier.
The men signed in their names and were given the file with the little information that the hospital had on the girls. They had thanked the woman and walked down to the elevator. The woman looked at the sign in sheet and was shocked to see the names of eight of the major countries.
She thought to herself "this must have been a joke. No way could they have been the countries." She chose to ignore this but the nagging feeling that those men were seriously important never went away.
The time in the elevator, though short, was silent and agonizing. The doors finally opened to reveal a white hallway filled with doors and bustling nurses. They filed out confused on where to go even though Germany had the room number in his hands. None of the doors matched the file paper, so after walking around like idiots for thirty minutes Japan spoke up.
"We aren't going to get anything acomprished if we keep this up."
"Let me see that file again." France grabbed it out of Germany's hand and read through the papers.
"Oh, mon Dieu! We're on the wrong floor!"
"What?! You mean we've been on the wrong floor for thirty bloody minutes? Who was the idiot that pressed the button?"
Everyone turned to Italy who cowered under their eyes. "Waaaah? I thought I pressed seven." He started to cry when Germany scolded him for not paying attention to what he was doing. After causing a small scene they went back into the elevator and went one more floor up. When the door opened they were met by a chaotic scene of nurses trying to corner an Asian woman who was wearing a teal robe and had one arm in a sling; the other arm held up a meat cleaver.
"AIYA! STAY AWAY FROM ME WITH THOSE NEEDLES!" She stepped back, shaking and pointing her cleaver toward the nurses.
"Please Miss! You're body is in too much shock to rest and we don't want you to be in danger of having a heart attack . This will just calm your nerves and help you sleep." The nurse tried acting calm toward the freaked out girl. "We realize that you aren't use to any of this but we promise we're trying to help."
The countries watched in awe as the scene unfolded in front of them, all of them trying to figure out what to do when all of a sudden another woman came in. It was the Russian looking girl with the long gray hair. She was wearing an identical teal robe and had gauze wrapped around her entire left leg. She limped forward toward the Asian.
"Please Chun, these people are doctors. They want to help." She said calmly with a concerned tone. She walked in front of the Asian who was still holding up a cleaver but began shaking uncontrollably.
The Asian girl began to tear up as the Russian girl limped closer and eventually broke down into full out tears. The Russian girl tried comforting her by putting her friends head on her lap. "Anya, I don't want *sniff* to be here anymore. We need to *hic* get back. What are the other countries going to do without us?"
"They'll be fine. There is no need to worry." The Russian girl began stroking the Asian girls head while singing a lullaby in a whisper. A nurse came up and was given a nod by the Russian girl to give her Asian friend the shot. The Asian girl slightly shook in shock and passed out in her friend's arms.
"Was it honestly necessary? Da, she hates needles more than anything."
"It was incredibly necessary. You all haven't slept since you were all patched up, and if you don't sleep you'll never recover. Now please go back to your bed before you pass out on the floor as well.
The Russian girl tried getting up but she stumbled forward clumsily, landing on top of China and knocking him down.
AIYAAAAA!" He screamed when they fell down onto the floor. Everyone in the ward turned to watch. The Russian girl opened her droopy eyes, became red in the face, and rolled off the small Chinese man.
She got onto her shaking knees and hands and had coughed out a few words in Russian. "Извините сэр (I'm sorry sir)" She collapsed and the nurses frantically helped her up.
They took the two girls behind a dark blue curtain. China, who was still on the floor, blankly stared at the curtain while trying to comprehend everything that had happened in the five short minutes that had just unfolded.
"Get off the froor. Very dishonorabre to famiry and yourserf." Japan snapped China out of his trance.
He had gotten up and stood awkwardly along with the other countries that seemed to be out of place with the rest of the hospital personnel.
"Comment étrange (very strange)" Said France who was baffled.
"Well I think we're the right floor." America murmured.
"Now what do we do?" Italy asked.
The others looked at each other. "Maybe we should just come back another time aru~. Obviously they aren't in condition to talk about anything aru~"
"Nien. You brought me out here and I'm not leaving without answers!" Germany had become determined to know everything.
"Cold as always I see." England glared.
"I can't believe I'm saying this but Germany's right! Besides as the hero they'll obviously want to talk to me so we'll be fine!"
"Veee~~~ Well let's go talk to the pretty ladies." Italy skipped to the curtain and disappeared behind it, leaving the others no other choice but to follow.
"I hope we aren't doing anything stupid by being here." Japan muttered to himself.
-Sorry that this chapter wasn't action packed or anything. I promise it'll pick up after everyone is introduced to each other. *Pinky swear*
