Chapter 12.2
17:57
MY4 in the meantime has visited some of the wounded to see how they are doing. So far, everyone is fine and thanked her for everything she has done for them all. Everyone is greeting her, even if she didn't visit them yet, while she walks towards her next person. She is known in this shelter after all.
Yet the next person she wants to visit seems to be a child that has a difficulty in walking properly for a reason or another, helping himself with an old walking stick which he got from the people that take care of him here. But he seems pretty excited noticing MY4 coming his way.
[MY4]-Hey, TYL3R!
[TYL3R]-MY4!! MISS MY4!!!
[MY4]-Alright, calm down!
[TYL3R]-I'M SO HAPPY YOU ARE HERE!! I MISSED YOU!!
[MY4]-*giggles* I've came yesterday to see you as well. Why are you so excited?
[TYL3R]-Weeeell... because you are the most awesome person I know! That's why!!
[MY4]-Heh... Why do you say that?
[TYL3R]-You are kidding me, right? Look at all the people you've helped! Everyone at the shelter talks about you and all the things you've done for them all! When I grow up, I want to become just like you!!
[MY4]-*giggles* Alright, my brave warrior! Let's see how your leg is doing for now! Take a seat.
He finally calms down and sits on a bed that seems to be his, as all the beds seem to stay side by side because of the little space and the huge population. As for where they put their things, from what it appears, most of the people put them in a bag that stays under the bed.
MY4 is taking down a piece of a torn cloth that he was wearing around his stomach which was covering both of his feet, something similar to a hakama from our world. And so, he remained in some shorts, revealing an amputated leg covered by some bloody bandages. She takes them off too and starts cleaning all the blood first, though it seems like it hurts the little guy.
[TYL3R]-Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!! It hurts me, MY4!!
[MY4]-...I know, little guy, but I have to clean the blood. Just stay strong! I promise it won't take long!
He takes a lot of deep breaths while she is working, trying to calm himself down and not to say anything so he won't disturb her. There is nothing she can do about the whole painful moment, yet she is still trying her best to not hurt him at all. He even starts crying a bit from the pain.
[MY4]-Hey! Don't cry! You're gonna make feel bad!
[TYL3R]-...But it hurts me, MY4!
[MY4]-Come on! I know you are strong! It's almost done, TYL3R!
And she wasn't lying. The blood was cleaned quickly, which means we can take a look at it more clearly. The leg seems as it was amputated recently, maybe that explains all this mess. The part where it was amputated seems to be already sewn, but it lost a bit of blood even so. Yet the only thing she has to do now is to inject an Energy Killer into the leg so it can heal in the next moments. More than that, she can't do anything about it.
Their medicine isn't advanced, they only rely on their powers to regenerate the open wounds on the body. Though this medicine is called Energy Killer, it can also be used on the other races, but it only affects the C borns with their energy more. Yet the body laws of their world make sure that the body regenerates on its own. Well, not to the point of regenerating lost body parts, but it can close open wounds easily. When it comes to lost parts of the body, this law can't bring back the bones or to recreate the shape again. When the body is no longer affected by the gas that destroys the beings' immunity, you can be sure that your wounds have healed completely.
[MY4]-You know what I have to do now. Then everything will be over! Can you hang in there just for a bit longer?
[TYL3R]-*sob* Mhm...
She takes an Energy Killer from her small handbag and injects it into his leg. Even with his struggles, he still starts crying louder from this, but she is finally done. She bandages him and ties back the piece of cloth around his stomach. Then, she takes him in her arms to calm him down.
[MY4]-...It's alright, don't cry! It's finally over! You did great, my little warrior!
In the end, she stays some minutes with him to finally calm down and make sure he doesn't faint from the Energy Killer, as his C colour in his hair and eyes was brighter the moment he got his shot. It isn't a bad sign, it only means that the body is working on healing the wound, forced. And so, the joy in his voice and on his face comes back after only ten minutes. But as she wants to take her leave and see the next person, a group of kids come to see him, around five or six.
[H4RRY]-TYL3R, are you ready now??
[TYL3R]-You guys can't wait for five damn minutes!?
[T1M]-It's been over 20 minutes, you smartass!
[TYL3R]-Well, just wait five more!!
MY4 looks at the group of kids, before talking with the little boy again.
[MY4]-Are these your friends?
[TYL3R]-Yep! And they are all IDIOTS!
[F1NN]-Shut up! We are smarter than you!!
But then, the boy seems as he gets a new idea and seems pretty excited about it as well.
[TYL3R]-MY4! MY4! Can you come and play with us too? Pleaseee!
[MY4]-I'm afraid not, little guy. I still have some people to see. I can't stay with you forever. You know that!
[TYL3R]-Aw, man... Oh! Then can I at least introduce you to them? Come oooon!!
[MY4]-*giggles* Alright, alright! But quick, okay? After that, I have to leave.
[TYL3R]-Yeey! Okay! Um... Oh, that guy over here is T1M, the one next to him is... H4RRY! That jackass is F1NN! Oh, and the three over there are KOJ1, J4X and OTT0! Boys, this is MY4! The best from the best!
[MY4]-Hi, everyone!
[ALL]-Hi, MY4!!
She looks so happy at them all, but then, she notices one boy from the group that is confused about what's happening. It seems like he is looking at a different boy, begging him for a reason she doesn't understand, so the other one takes something from his backpack which seems to be a note and starts writing on it.
[MY4]-...Hey, TYL3R?
[TYL3R]-Yeah?
[MY4]-What's up with the little one over there?
[TYL3R]-Oh, KOJ1? Well... he can't hear, so OTT0 is writing everything he wants to know on his notes. We don't know how to communicate with him otherwise...
[MY4]-I don't think I saw him around here until now though...
[TYL3R]-Oh, yeah! He just got at the shelter yesterday, way long after you left! From what the big adults were talking, someone found him up there and brought him here. Or something like that... I'm not sure to tell you exactly... But we became his friends not long after and gave him a name, KOJ1!
She gets up and walks towards the little boy for a bit who was so confused, even a bit scared. She waves at him, but his wave wasn't that lively. Yet to everyone's surprise, she started making some weird moves to him which they didn't understand, and the boy was more comfortable with her all of a sudden, starting to do the same.
[MY4]-^Hello! My name is MY4. TYL3R told me that your name is KOJ1, right?^
[KOJ1]-^Yes! I can't hear a word of what they are saying. Can you help me? I feel like I'm annoying OTT0.^
[MY4]-^That's not true. It doesn't seem to me that they get annoyed by you. They like being around you.^
[KOJ1]-^The group that raised me seemed annoyed when I was trying to communicate with them, but they were the ones who taught me how to communicate in the first place! Are you sure they aren't annoyed as well?^
[MY4]-^I'm sure! Don't worry about that!^
[TYL3R]-Whoaah! MY4, you know how to communicate just by hands? I've never seen KOJ1 so happy before!
[MY4]-*giggles* It's called Sign Language! And yes! It's something that you learn before working on this job.
[TYL3R]-Can you teach me???
[F1NN]-Hey! Teach me as well!!
[OTT0]-Me too! Me too!
KOJ1 seems confused again, as everyone is so excited of something he doesn't understand.
[MY4]-Okay, but just a bit, alright? I have to see the next person too.
[TYL3R]-*sigh* Alright, alright...
[MY4]-Okay... Let's see...
She waves again at KOJ1 to attract his attention and starts communicating with him again. But this time, instead of just making these weird signs, she will also talk so the boys can understand.
[MY4]-They... want... me... to teach... them... how... to communicate... with... you.
[KOJ1]-^Really? Why?^
[J4X]-What did he say? What did he say??
[MY4]-He asked "why".
[OTT0]-Really?
[T1M]-Tell him something!
[MY4]-Alright! Calm down!
She looks at him yet again.
[MY4]-Because... they... are... your... friends.
The little boy doesn't say anything, he only looks at them a bit unsure. It's normal after all for someone that might get into the category of "Lost Children of Heaven" to have doubts at first. Up there, they live in groups if possible only to survive, but they don't consider themselves friends or family in every case. It's most likely that the group in which he was raised didn't see themselves as friends or as relatives at all.
From all, TYL3R got a bit of the words MY4 taught them. And so, he tries to recreate a word to ensure him that what she is saying is right. And after that, all the boys copy him. They recreate the word "friends", holding out both of their index fingers hooked in a curved shaped, then reversing the initial position they made and doing it again.
Of course the kid cried a bit. He was happy to see that they've tried to communicate with him, even with his disorder. He makes another signs after he wipes his tears and looks at the girl, taking his right hand to his chin and moving it slightly down to MY4 and the people next to her.
[TYL3R]-What did he say now?
[MY4]-He thanked me. He thanked us all.
Yet she cannot stay with them anymore though. She waves at them as a goodbye and the kids wave back at her. She turns back to walk towards the next destination, but LUK3 was looking for a while at her not far from there. He was with a child, carrying him on his back and was about to come to her, only stopping after he saw everything she did with them.
[LUK3]-Hey! MY4!
[MY4]-Hi, LUK3!
[AX3L]-I made a new friend!
[MY4]-You sure did, AX3L!
[LUK3]-Wait, you know this kid?
[MY4]-I treated him a while ago. Hey, AX3L, mind if you go and play with someone else?
LUK3 puts the kid down and he listens to what she said, leaving them alone, while they look at him run freely.
[LUK3]-Can I keep him?
[MY4]-I'm not sure you are ready to be a father, LUK3. Besides, do you really think he will be allowed to stay with you at the base?
[LUK3]-Aw man... Then... can I move here? I like it! Everyone is playful and fun!
[MY4]-Let's save the space for those who truly need it!
[LUK3]-But I like to be a child of the shelteeeer...
[MY4]-Well, you truly are a child at heart. That's for sure.
[LUK3]-Hehe! Hey! You taught these kids Sign Language and not me!? Don't hide it! I saw it!
[MY4]-You didn't ask me to teach you!
[LUK3]-Well, now I ask! Teach me this language! Now!
[MY4]-*giggles* Why do you wish to learn it anyway?
[LUK3]-BECAUSE it makes you look cool!
[MY4]-No, it doesn't!
[LUK3]-YES, it DOES! Those kids were so amazed by you, even I saw it!
[MY4]-Then become a Healer and you will learn Sign Language without my help.
[LUK3]-Ninini...
[MY4]-Anyway, I still have some people to see. Do you want to join or--
[LUK3]- --Yep! I'm in! You left me behind without even thinking about me! You are so cruel! Are you even my best friend, MY4?
[MY4]-Alright. Then you can help me out!
[LUK3]-Sure! ...Wait, what?
