If you can actually read what Oobleck says, I'll give you a cookie.
"There's nothing to be afraid of when it comes to dentists. Just be on the lookout for doctors. They'll rip out your organs the first chance they get." – My friend after their surgery.
If Jaune had ever regretted cheating his way to Beacon, this was probably the time. As he lied stiffly on his bed, Jaune was face to face with his teammate. Or rather, his supposed doctor. Mind you, Jaune trusted Nora; in fact, the Knight was perfectly fine with his life in her hands.
That is – if he and the rest of his team were fighting the creatures of Grimm.
In any other situation, Jaune's chances of survival with the bubbly Ginger were as small as his chances of getting a girlfriend.
"Um...Nora-"
"Doctor Valkyrie!" Nora interrupted as she dramatically pointed to Jaune. "Please try to call me by my professional name. If you don't, I'm afraid I'm going to stitch your mouth shut."
"R-Right...um...Doctor Valkyrie, I don't think it's legal to impersonate a doctor..." Ironically, this was coming from HIM out all people. But at least his forged documents didn't really harm anyone! Worst case: Jaune would end up in some prison. Nora on the other hand – well – the Knight prayed that at least all of his friends would attend his funeral as soon as Nora somehow inverted his spine and displaced his heart with his stomach.
Don't question it, that's the only way to understand the concept that is Nora Valkyrie.
"Hush 'Patient Arc', I know you are uncertain with this sudden development." Doctor Valkyrie explained in a tone that mimicked the average doctor on some television show, "but I can assure you that you are in good hands! Look, I even have a doctor's license!"
Nora rummaged her left hand through one of the lab coats' pockets and pulled out a small card. Upon inspecting it, Jaune's fear for his life only grew more.
"This is a driver's license, Nora! And it's not even yours" – Jaune glanced at the card, then looked back at Nora's grin – "this is...this Proffes- Doctor Oobleck's license! Why do you have – no, HOW did you even get this?!"
"Hmm..." Doctor Valkyrie thought out loud, her eyes forced shut and one hand on her chin – creating the image of some wise thinker. "To be honest, I don't even know!" the Ginger answered happily.
"EH?!"
(Meanwhile in the streets of Vale)
"Rolling around at the speed of sound, Got places to go, gotta follow my rainbow. Can't stick around, have to keep moving on, Guess what lies ahead? Only one way to find out!-" the radio burst out loud as a green car was rushing through the traffic, at a velocity that broke the speed limit a long time ago.
It was none other than Doctor Oobleck who was behind the wheel. Aside from the responsibilities of being a professional huntsman, as well as an esteemed doctor, the green-haired speed demon only drove his beloved car on rare occasions.
"Trust me and we will escape from the city.I'll make it through, follow me!" the Doctor sang along with the lyrics.
He would have sung the entire soundtrack if a police car hadn't pulled him over to the curb.
"Issomethingwrongofficer?" Oobleck asked in his usual quick tone.
"You were speeding sir. Quite fast I might add." The officer answered as he brought out his pen, preparing to write down the speeding ticket.
"Idon'tseewhat'swrongwiththat!ImeanaslongasIavoidhittingpeopleandcars,Ibelievethatnolawshouldrestrainme!"
"Riiiight..." the officer muttered as he narrowed his brow. "Why am I always the guy who gets the pot-heads?" he whispered to himself. "Sir, I'm going to ask you to hand me your driver's license."
"Butofcourseofficer!" Oobleck responded as he quickly pulled out the card at blinding speeds.
All it took was one good look at the card before the officer let out a long sigh. "Sir, this isn't a driver's license. This is a student card."
"What?!" the Doctor exclaimed as he glanced at the student's picture on the card: Nora Valkyrie.
"Drug user and a predator, this is going to be a long day..." the officer sighed once more. "Sir, I'm going to ask you to step out of your vehicle, kneel down, and place your hands behind your head."
"..." the Doctor replied with an unreadable poker face.
"Sir, I'm going to ask one more time. Step out of the vehicle and-"
"YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE COPPER!" Oobleck announced as his vehicle rushed into the sunset, leaving behind a trail of green flames.
The officer just let out a sigh as he went back into his car, thinking of what he should tell his boss that he wanted to go back to being a mall cop.
"So uh... Doctor Valkyrie," Jaune began in a nervous expression, a small bead of sweat running down his face, "do you even know what to do as a doctor?"
"Pft, don't be silly Jaune, of course I know what to do!" There was a glint in her eyes as she said this. Jaune didn't like that. It only made him feel even more terrified. "So remind me, patient, when is your heart transplant again?" she asked, suddenly holding a chainsaw in front of a terrified Jaune.
"No! No! No surgery! Broken legs remember?! No need for chainsaw surgery!" Jaune cried out. He leaned his immobile body as far back as he could in a poor attempt to create distance from him and Nora.
"Awwww man, and I really wanted to use this chainsaw too! Oh well!" Doctor Valkyrie said as she tossed the object out of a window near Jaune. She pondered about what to do with her patient now. Jaune didn't appear to be suffering aside from the lack of movement. Finally, the brilliant doctor came up with a simple idea. "Tell me patient, do you want to go outside?"
"Uh...what?"
"You know – get some fresh air, smell the flowers! You know it's psychologically unhealthy to be in the same room with nothing to do. It creates stress; slows down the recovery process. Sure, every patient must rest in order to recover, but boredom and resting are too completely different things!"
"You're taking this whole doctor thing very seriously," Jaune stated. At this moment, the blond wasn't so sure whether he should relax or still be terrified.
"Well I didn't earn this fancy coat for nothing you know?" she answered back in her bubbly tone. "So, you up to feeling the sun?"
"Sure?" Jaune could see truth in what Nora told him, but he still was uncertain about something. How was he supposed to go outside? He couldn't exactly move his legs around.
"Great, wait right here!" Doctor Valkyrie yelled out as she ran out of the room.
A minute hadn't even passed before Nora returned into the room with a wheelchair.
"Well don't just sit there! Get on!" she exclaimed, as she pushed the wheelchair to the right side of his bed.
"Um...Doctor Valkyrie" Jaune frowned as if Nora knew this was some cruel joke, "I'm not sure if you noticed, but I can't exactly move my legs at the moment."
"Oh right, I totally forgot about that!" she declared. "Well, looks like I have to do this myself then!"
"Wait Nora what are you doing?!" Jaune demanded, as the Ginger surprisingly lifted him from his bed.
"There we go! Now let's place you down gently."
Now when Nora meant "gently", she meant dropping the poor Knight onto the wheelchair.
Jaune's face contorted into a twisted expression as a wave of pain rippled through his lower region the moment he landed onto the chair. He didn't cry out however, the white Knight had to reserve any pride he had left – no matter how small or insignificant it was. So instead, he let out a silent scream.
"Don't you think I look a little awkward?" Jaune asked as he inspected himself. He was in a normal sitting position, except that his restrained legs hung outward. "I mean, I feel like I might fall off if I get pushed."
"Hmm, we wouldn't want that now would we?" Doctor Valkyrie began to rummage through her coat pocket and pulled out a roll of duct tape. "Here, this should make you stationary on that thing!"
Worried, definitely worried and terrified of Doctor Valkyrie's methods of treatment.
The blond couldn't really do anything, so he just sat there in silent defeat as the Ginger wrapped the tape around his broken legs to the base of his seat.
"There, now you won't have to worry about a thing!"
"R-Right, so how exactly do you move around?" he asked, realizing that there was a silver covering over the wheels which prevented Jaune movement on the wheelchair.
"Silly patient! As your doctor, I'm going to personally escort you around the great outdoors!" the Ginger merrily answered as she began to push Jaune out of the room. Jaune silently gulped, hoping that he would make it out alive by the end of the day.
. . .
It didn't even take 5 minutes before Jaune's doctor had to make a pit stop to use the washroom. And if there was anything that Jaune knew about Nora, it was that she took forever in the washroom. He should know after all, they literally live in the same room.
So now he just sat idly, noticing the passerby students giving him bewildered looks. It made sense in a cruel way. Jaune was the only huntsman-in-training to be in such a predicament, and being parked in front of the female washrooms didn't exactly improve his situation either. Fortunately for him, a wandering friend quickly noticed the Knight's disposition and walked up to greet him.
"Jaune?"
"Hey Blake" Jaune waved back as she approached him.
"Do I even want to know how you got yourself in this position?" she asked, eyeing the duct-tape around his casted legs.
"Heh...well..." Jaune mumbled as he scratched the back of his head, "do you know Doctor Valkyrie?"
"Nora's parent is a doctor?!" she exclaimed in surprise. Well, 'surprise' wasn't the word that Blake was feeling at the moment. Rather, she felt shocked more than anything. Who knew that the hyperactive Nora had a doctor as a parent?
Actually, that explains a lot. Having someone who specialized in medicine and the body, Nora was probably free to do whatever she wanted with little to no fear for the consequences of her safety.
"So is it her father or mother?"
"Neither."
"So it's a relative? Sibling?"
"It's Nora." Jaune smiled the best he could as he answered her.
"What," Blake replied. "Jaune, I think you need to tell me the whole story here."
"I don't think you need to know the whole story Blake" Jaune sighed, "look, long story short: Nora is my doctor, and I'm her patient."
"I'll make sure to get flowers for your funeral..." she said as she placed a comforting hand on the Knight's shoulder.
"You really have no faith in Doctor Valkyrie do you?" Jaune grimaced at his friend's optimism.
"Well it's either that, or you'll end up in the infirmary for another five days." She crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"You seem so sure."
"Call it a sempai's hunch." Blake smiled. Ever since Blake had agreed to tutor Jaune, she came to realize that he wasn't as bad as she first perceived him to be. Jaune seemed to be the kind of guy who wasn't serious at anything. But at the same time there was that glint in his eyes that portrayed his untapped determination. Not only that, but surprisingly, Jaune was a guy who could open to others if they gave him a chance.
Granted, she hadn't completely opened up to the Knight as she did with the rest of her team, but she did acknowledge him as a friend now. It was a good progression; way better than just acknowledging each other's existence and nothing more.
"So where is this Doctor Nora anyways?"
As if she possessed a sixth sense, Nora slammed the door to the washroom open and screamed out, "THAT'S DOCTOR VALKYRIE TO YOU!"
Blake had to blink three times in order to comprehend the white lab coat that Nora was wearing.
Unfortunately, Jaune was parked in front of said door. So the moment Nora came out to confront Blake, the poor Knight was launched at Oobleck's speed through the halls.
"OH GOD, HELP ME DOCTOR VALKYRIE" Jaune yelled as he sped into the distance.
"Patient Arc!" Doctor Valkyrie chased after the out of control wheelchair. Out of concern for her friend, Blake followed as well.
"I'm going to die, I really am going to die..." Jaune thought out loud as he tried to claw his way out of the hold of the duct tape around his legs. But alas, Nora did a regretfully good job in securing his legs to the death seat with wheels.
The out of control wheelchair was still rising in acceleration as it was speeding through the suddenly empty halls. It was only a matter of time before he crashed and snapped his neck in the process.
Jaune turned his head back, hoping that his friends were close to him, but all he saw was a black and orange dot in the far distance. It was either that they ran surprisingly slow or that Jaune had broken the reality barrier. Leave it to Nora's inhumanly strength to achieve such a speed.
So as a last ditch effort, Jaune went back to his pathetic attempt of escaping Nora's duct tape.
(In some other part of the halls of Beacon)
"Hey Ruby?" Yang asked her sister as they were strolling down the hallway.
"Yes Yang?" Ruby answered as she moved her silver eyes to the Blonde.
"Did you see that commercial on those swords last night? I heard that the quality was sharp" Yang sniggered as she explained, putting a hand over her mouth to hide her sudden amusement.
"That's actually pretty creative sis', I'll give you props for that one" the Crimsonette giggled in response. "How do you think Jaune is holding up, Yang?" she asked, moving the topic away from puns as far as possible.
"Heh...uh...I think that the little Knight will be just fine...heh...heh" Yang answered nervously as she scratched her brow. If her little sister found out that she was the one who caused Jaune's injury, Ruby would never look at Yang the same way again. Of course, they would still love each other, but there would be a slight rip in the trust that they had built up over the years.
Ruby was at an age where she needed her personal space, so Yang was trying her best to respect that. The only problem was that she was a bit protective of her sister. The Blonde was furious when she discovered the scene with Ruby and Jaune, and of course, she overreacted. After finding out that it was a misunderstanding, Yang felt horrible for what she did to poor Jaune.
Maybe when she was done hanging around with Ruby, she would visit the white Knight and apologize.
"Yeah, I should do that!" Yang blurted out loud.
"Do what sis'?"
"Uh...well...you know...ge-
"SOMEBODY HELP ME" a familiar voice screamed out as a sudden blur zipped right past them.
"Great Monty, was that Jaune?!" Ruby cried out, her eyes wide from a lack of comprehension.
"With that type of screaming, it can only be Jaune." Yang stated.
"Jaune!" Nora's voice cried out moments later. The Ginger chased after the runaway chair, ignoring Yang and Ruby's presences as she ran past them.
Both the sisters had to blink multiple times in an attempt to comprehend Nora's unusual attire.
Blake soon appeared as well, but before the Ninja could continue her chase for Jaune, she felt a strong grip on one of her arms.
"Blake, can you please tell me what the heck is going on?!" Yang demanded, her grip wasn't going to loosen until she got answers.
"Nora's playing doctor, and Jaune is her patient" she replied.
"Oh! I'll be sure to get flowers for his funeral then..." Yang muttered as she let go of her partner, although Blake just stood there and stared at the Blonde.
"You have time to joke around, then you have time to help me get Jaune" Blake immediately broke into a sprint afterward. Yang and Ruby followed.
. . .
"You know, Jaune's going pretty fast for a guy who has broken legs" Yang explained while the girls were running. "You have any ideas on how we're going to catch him?"
It was at that moment that Ruby mentally face palmed herself.
She was so caught up in the moment that she forgot that she had the semblance of enhanced speed.
"Don't worry, I'll get him!" Ruby announced. Taking a deep breath of air, she felt the world around her slow down as her semblance began to take effect. And then Ruby disappeared.
Meanwhile, Jaune's attempts of escaping turned out better than he expected. Well better was an overstatement. He managed to peel through the first three layers, but the amount that Nora supplied seemed endless. It was worse as his fingers felt as if they were set ablaze from all his excessive clawing.
"Jaune!" a nearby voice cried out to him from behind. He turned around and broke into a slight grin at the sight.
Ruby Rose was using her speed to save him. Jaune let out a faint sigh of relief at his sudden turn of fortune.
Closer.
Closer.
Almost there!
However, as fortune would have it, Jaune, as well as Ruby, were going to get screwed over very soon.
Just as the youngest leader was about to get a hand over the wheelchair handles, she tripped.
That's right, Ruby tripped. She fell face forward and her momentum forced her to roll over the floor. Meanwhile, Jaune suppressed the urge to yell at his misfortune. Of course the universe would do something like this! It never gave him a break - NEVER!
"Ruby! Speak to me! Are you okay?!" Yang cried as she ran over to her sister. She rolled her over to see her face. What Yang saw were swirly-eyes and mini Zweis circling over Ruby's head.
"Zwei? How did you get here...and why are there so many of you?" Ruby mumbled in confusion.
"Well this sucks" Yang declared, gently placing her sister onto the floor. "Got any other ideas?"
Blake had an idea, but she grimaced at the very thought of it. There's a 50/50 chance that she would screw up and Jaune would end up being impaled. Then again, the longer Jaune kept accelerating, the higher risk that they would have to attend his funeral. What flowers would he like: red roses or white violets?
Steeling her resolve, Blake drew her Gambol Shroud and hurled its ribbon form towards Jaune. Fortunately, her weapon managed to latch on to one of its wheels, however, the wheelchair didn't lose any ground; it was as if some unknown force was pushing it forward. With all of her strength, she pulled the black ribbon.
Seizing the opportunity, Yang got up and helped her partner pull. However, even with both their added strengths, they slowly began to lose their ground; their planted feet inching in the direction of Jaune's.
Nora however grew impatient with the lack of results. "Stand aside ladies, let me show you how a doctor retrieves her patient!" she announced, gripping onto Gambol Shroud's ribbon, and with a grunt, she gave a fierce tug.
Perhaps it was too fierce, since Nora's strength ripped the very wheel from the seat itself.
With nothing to hold itself back, the wheelchair continued its rampage. But without a second wheel to guide itself, it began to spin out control.
"I'm going to hurl!" Jaune let out, his motion sickness beginning to take its toll.
Yang's eyes flared red in frustration, "Oh that's just fantasti-
Before the Blonde could finish, the wheel that was ripped out collided into her face.
Blake's heart sank the moment she saw her partner collapse onto the floor. "Yang!" she threw her weapon on the floor and quickly approached her.
"Heh...sorry Blake-y...looks like this entire situation made me...tire-d out..." she smirked at her before she passed out.
Two down; two left.
"C'mon Doctor Valkyrie," the Ginger thought out loud, "you can do this! Think! Think! What should we do nex-
As luck, good or bad depending on this moment would have it, the wheelchair slammed into a wall, bounced off, and the wheelchair holding Jaune flew out of the window.
"NOT AGGGAAAAIN!" the Knight screamed.
Moments later, a sudden THUD echoed through the halls.
"Jaune!" Nora called out, running towards the shattered window. Her heart sank when she saw her leader's limp body lying stiffly on the cold surface. She was about to break into tears when she felt a comforting hand over her shoulder.
"Don't worry he'll be fine," Blake assured her.
"B-But, he fell out of the building!" Nora protested.
"Like I said, there's nothing to worry abo-
"Don't give me that!" she cried, "Don't say 'Oh don't worry Nora! It's not your fault! Everything will be just fine!', because it's not! It's my fault, if I didn't slack off in medical school...I...I-
"You're taking this doctor thing way too seriously. Besides, if I recall, Jaune said 'NOT AGGGAAAAIN', which meant that he probably experienced falling out a building already. Like I said 'Doctor Valkyrie', your patient is perfectly fine." Blake responded in a calm tone.
Behind her impassive mask, Blake was silently cringing at Nora's emotional performance. It reminded her of her mistake when she accidentally punched Jaune off Beacon's building. An accident that she was going to keep secret until the day she died.
"H-He's fine?" Nora whimpered.
"Absolutely" the Ninja replied, walking away from the Ginger and towards her downed teammates. "Besides, isn't it you job to treat the injured at specified locations? Locations like...the infirmary?"
With the fire restored in her eyes, the Ginger in the white lab coat declared in a cheery tone, "I'm coming patient!"
And with that, Doctor Valkyrie leaped out the window to retrieve her (unconscious) leader.
Blake let out a subtle sigh with the new problem she was facing.
Which teammate should she bring back to the dorm first?
Jaune awoke back in the infirmary with a weird feeling in his gut. He stared around the plain room and quickly noticed that something was off. Actually, they were many things that were off!
The aligned rows of beds were missing, leaving his bed in the very center in the empty room. The room itself looked like a prisoner's cell; the windows that Jaune would stare out suddenly vanished! The only lighting in the room was the dim light bulb that hung over the ceiling. What shocked him the most was that the thick casts around his legs were gone! Hesitantly, Jaune inched his knee upward; there was no pain.
"How long have I been out?!" he thought out loud. Had he been in a coma after falling out of the building?
Or worse, did Ozpin find out about his fake transcripts?! Was he in prison?!
His heart froze when he heard the click of the door opening. Oh god, were they going to execute him now?!
What he saw were four familiar faces entering the room, except their attire looked a bit scandalous-
Oh Monty, this better not be the same scenario like last time.
In front of the Knight were Nora and the members of RBY, all wearing revealing nurse uniforms. It was a sleeveless one-piece white dress that ran down to their upper thighs, revealing an extravagant view of their feminine milky legs. Their sleeveless arms were just as beautiful with those nimble shoulders would sway according to their each step, their hips would rotate which only made Jaune gulp at the awe-struck sight.
"Mr. Arc, we're here for your daily checkup" Nora cooed in a seductive voice. The other girls giggled faintly in response.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no...THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! NOT AGAIN!" Jaune swiftly rolled off the bed and crawled his way to the corner of the room.
"You're not real! Stay back!" he shrieked.
"Oh? It looks like our little patient is playing hard-to-treat" the false Blake whispered, loud enough for Jaune to hear.
"We wouldn't want that now, would we?" Ruby announced, pulling out a large syringe the size of Crescent Rose out of thin air.
"Yep, looks like we'll need to relax his muscles first..." Yang declared.
Out of no-where, nurses Nora, Yang, and Blake held Jaune down as the Red nurse approached him. "It looks like we'll have to inject the love serum into you."
Jaune struggled even harder.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
"-AHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
"Patient!?" a concerned voiced called out.
"Nora?!"
"That's Doctor Valkyrie to you!" she corrected, lightly slapping him across his cheek. Jaune looked back at Nora and saw her lab coat. When he tried to move his legs, he realized he couldn't. Jaune quickly glanced down at noticed that his legs were confined in white casts. He sighed in relief; he was back in reality, he was awake.
"W-Where am I?"
"The infirmary, silly! But wow, Blake was right; looks like you can survive falling out of a building after all!"
Jaune ran his hand through his hair as vague memories of a wheelchair ran through his mind.
"Hmm, I believe you're suffering from mental trauma, patient..." the Doctor said in her, well, doctor tone. "Don't worry; I'll be here all night if I have to! I am your doctor after all!"
"Ha...ha...ha..." he laughed quietly, a sudden twitch with his left eye. He gazed out of the window and noticed that it was night time.
His laughing intensified even further.
Yes, this was going to be a long night with Doctor Valkyrie.
And while all of this was happening, Ren was happily dreaming about the ocean; for the Stoic was free from all the stress on his shoulders.
