"And that's for ruining our game of tag you jerk."

"T-tag" She replied rubbing her throbbing shin. "But he called you pipsqueak."

"My name is Penelope. Pipsqueak is my nickname and I'll play with my brother if I want."

"Brother? I didn't know. I'm apologize," Eleanor replied turned red with embarrassment.

"Well you should be hussy."

Penelope would have continued using words that shocked Eleanor but the girl felt a hand tug on her dress. "What is it Teddy? Are you okay?"

Teddy forced a grin on his face. "Tag, you it."

Penelope suddenly flashed an angry face at Eleanor. "Fix it," she commanded pointing to her brother.

"Uh- what?"

"You heard me. Fix my brother. Grownups always know how to fix things so hurry up and fix my brother."

Eleanor's face turned another shade redder at this new prospect. "But I…"

"Fix now!"

Having winced at the tongue lashing, Eleanor quickly brought her shacking hand over the fly of Teddy's pants. A white light glowed from her hand for almost five seconds after which she pulled it away. She shivered as a short-lived, painful ache shot through her head.

"How do you feel Teddy?"

To Penelope's surprise, Teddy clumsily got to his feet and gave a tug on the netherland region of his pants. "feel good."

Penelope also got to her feet and grabbed Eleanor's hand. When she did not see any light she shrugged and started shaking the woman's hand. "Thanks for fixing by brother. I thought you were going to kiss it to make it better like everyone else around here but I like your way better."

Kiss… IT, Eleanor considered in shock. She quickly dismissed the thought. "Do you know where I might find Dr. Alexander?"

"Oh you mean Gilly," Penelope replied stretching like a cat and yawning. "Teddy can take you but first (yawn) Teddy could you take me back. I feel sleepy."

Teddy nodded. "Tag tomorrow?"

Penelope nodded back as Teddy picked her small body up and cradled her in his arms. Feeling his sister's soft heart beat always made him feel better. With Penelope in his hands, teddy retraced his steps through the door they had first appeared.

Eleanor found she had to maintain a fast pace to keep up with Teddy's long stride. She glanced at the sleeping girl in his arms. "How long have you known Penelope," she asked thoughtfully.

Teddy used his free hand to show a height a mere half-foot shorter than his sister. "Since small," he said. "Bad men steal sister. I drink strong juice to be big. Take her from tin man. Gilly heal her."

Eleanor regarded teddy as heroic yet tragic. "So why do your sister pipsqueak?"

"I'm bigger now."

"And she calls you teddy?"

"Bigger, hairier," he shrugged going down a flight of stairs at the end of the hallway.

At the bottom of the stairs was a door leading into a hallway filled with several other doors some of which were broken. In the hallway, woman smoking a cigarette outside her room. She seemed like an older woman around her mid thirties. She wore thread-bare jeans with a button shirt with a red bandana covering her brunette hair back.

"Hey teddy, done playing tag already? Awe is Penelope tired. I thought I heard her staying up late last night. Ooh, who's your friend?"

Teddy would have replied but he bumped his head on the same pipe he always did when walking down the bad hallway. "Eleanor," he replied gesturing toward her. "Healed my number one."

To Eleanor's horror the woman's mouth dropped. "S-she did, did she? Well that's nice."

Teddy nodded then turned to Eleanor. "Wait."

Making no reply, Eleanor leaned against the wall opposite the woman who was smoking. An uncomfortable silence filled the scene.

"My names Diana," the woman smoking spoke up extending her hand.

"Eleanor."

More silence followed.

"So did you really um, heal his number one?"

"Grrrrr," Eleanor exclaimed running her hands through her hair. "I kicked Teddy because I thought he was attacking Penelope! And she insisted that I needed- that I should heal his groin area. A total misunderstanding that I am still paying for."

Right as Eleanor was explaining what had happened; Diana had been taking a drag of her smoke. Upon hearing it she inhaled too much and began coughing out volumes of smoke. And when she finished coughing she began laughing aloud until a loud "shh" came from Penelope's room.

Diana dabbed her wet eyes and regained her composure. She took another puff from her cigarette and pointed with same hand to a room a couple doors down. "Perrier, down the hallway, moved in here around the same time I did. He made the same mistake and shot poor Teddy. Only that time Penelope kicked him. Now Perrier, he knows two things: wine and women. And it was a shame too because he really knew what to do with his number one, if you know what I mean. Iced it for a week before..."

Diana, to Eleanor fortune, ceased her line of conversation when Teddy reappeared.

"Gilly?" he simply asked.

It took a moment for Eleanor to register that he was addressing her. "Ah, yes please."

"Going to see the good doctor?" Diana inquired. "Have fun kiddo."

Teddy began plodding off with Eleanor trailing behind. They quickly returned to the corridor where she had first met him only to turn the corner through a third door. Inside was a room that looked like a work bench area with a 'Power to the People' station but upon closer inspection of the machine a tiny lock combination appeared on the side.

Teddy fumbled with the combination while glancing at his arm but gave up and let Eleanor input the correct sequence. A small click noise came from the machine as it unlocked allowing Teddy to swing a section of the wall outward. Inside was a tiny elevator that could only hold one or two people. At that Teddy plodded off leaving Eleanor alone.
