"Yes, of course..." he said as he gently placed the warmed stethoscope on Runes chest, he counted softly to himself and jotted something quickly onto his chart. Then he flipped the stethoscope over and said looking up at Rune, "Breath in for me? Really deep breath...okay....now...out....good..." Again to his chart, but this time he got up and rustled through the cabinets. "Okay, this measure how well you breath, so can you breath into this tube?" and he placed it into Rune's hands, after a quick feel, the boy breathed into the container, it inflated a bit, and the doctor checked it, and wrote it down in his charts, "Okay, deep breath now...." Scribble, scribble, "Good, now try to breath into it a little more..." Rune began to cough, and the doctor pulled away the instrument. He pursed his lips and wrote in his folder again. "Okay I need to take a little of your blood really quick okay?" He swapped a bit of alcohol on the boys arm, then a swab of a numbing agent. "This is going to sting a little, okay?" He inserted the needle into the vein, but Rune didn’t flinch nor did he whine. The doctor drew out a sample of dull colored blood and injected it into a test tube. Then, he kneeled down in front of Rune, “Are you sleepy yet?” He shook his head, “Okay, do you want to watch a little TV?” “…watch…TV…?” “Yeah…common, the nurse out there will show you to a room, you’ll be staying there for a while…” Rune clumsily slipped back on his shirt, and with the doctor’s hand, was gently led out of the room, where a nurse took over from there. The doctor held back Chrstina for a split second. The he said, “Hi, I’m Patty(Patrick)! Do you have any questions about Rune?” |

"I'm worried about him. He wasn't treated very well with his biological parents, obviously. He won't eat much. How can I get him to eat without... throwing it up?" she looks at the door worriedly as if she could actually see Rune through it.

He scratched his head, in thought, then he said, "He's probably very sensitive to eating anything, so stay away from anything spiced, sweet, or salty. Start him off on liquids or soft foods, that are easy on the stomach, like, weak broth or watery oatmeat..." he looked through his charts, "I'll have to take a sample of his blood so we can do a more detailed blood test..." He coughed, "But, even I can tell you, just from listening to his heat beat there's something wrong with it, the rhythm is irregular, and the blood isn't going through the heart muscle properly. Also, from feeling his hands, his body's not getting enough blood. His blood type, is...A/B, so I'll get some blood for him as soon as possible." He sighed, "We need to make sure he's healthy before we can preform any type of surgery for a permanent fix...so, I'll prescribe some medication for his Asthma, and antibiotics to stop the progression of the Kawaski Disease."

She nods, "Thank you." She looks at the door again, nervous to be away from Rune for too long. "It's amazing how quickly I got attatched to him..."

Patrick just smiled, "Nope! I'm not surprised at all! You should see the pediatric nurses! They get attached to kids within seconds!" He looked through his files, then he said, "I'm guessing he doesn't have any comfort items, like posters, most parents try to make the hospital room look as close to home as possible." He flipped some papers, "All you financial needs are taken care of by the Justice League, so money for the private room and cost of procedure, it's as if they gave you a blank check." He closed his folder and smiled, "I'll leave you two alone while I go copy this for your use." and he opened the door to Runes room for Christina.
Inside, Rune was on his bead, engrossed in a Spanish soap opera.

She nods her thanks again and heads in. Christina sits next to Rune. "What's going on?" she asks the small boy with a smile.

Rune was completely bewitched by the moving figures on the screen. He said, in perfect Spanish, "Rose sólo dio a luz a su hijo Paco y su hermano, Pablo va a divorciarse de ella ahora." He stared on for a while, then turned to her and said, his muted voice fascinated, "How do the people get in there?"

"There not realy in the telly Rune. The shows are filmed then broadcasted through radio waves-" Maybe she should tone the description down a bit, "The people on telly have alot of pictures taken... um..." Christina looks at the television, scratching her head. She could clearly see in her mind the film crew on-set and filming the shows normaly seen, the director shouting 'Cut' at the end of a scene or to correct something an actor did wrong. "Okay, What the actors say and do are recorded on a video camera, then later, after the video has been edited, the broadcasting channels send the shows to peoples Televisions." She looks back at Rune, smiling, satisfied at her response, "Did you understand that?"

Rune nodded without turning to her and went back to watching the TV, his blindfold covering his eye lopsidedly. Shielding his silver left eye from the world, he was able to see without pain from his blue one. His teddy was on his lap, and he was fondling it lovingly.

Christina looked around the blank room and decided it needed a little color. "Rune sweety, I'm going to get something to wake up this room a little. Will you be okay by yourself for a bit?"

Rune nodded, and decided that he wanted some sleep. He readjusted his headband, and lay down on the pillow. The thin hospital mattress perfect for him, and he fell asleep almost immediately. The TV was still running the soap opera, a sobbing woman was on the screen.

She smiled to herself and lightly kissed Runes head. She left the television on and apon leaving the room headed straight for the gift shop. Christina wasn't about to leave the whole building now! Anyway, she waltzed into the gift shop, ignoring the curious stares. There wasn't much of a choice, although there never is in a hospital gift shop. There were stuffed animals, flowers, get-well cards, magazines and the like but that was it. In the end she decided on a grey wolf plushie with big, puppy eyes and a bandage on its right forepaw, the clasic cat hanging from a tree branch poster, an agangement of lillys, and a magazine. She paid for all this with her own money which she had tucked inside of her boot and carried her treasure back to Runes room. She returned and he was still sleeping. 'The poor kid. I'll introduce him to videogames later.' She smiled and put the flowers in the window and the wolf next to where Rune slept. She laid the poster next to the flowers for the meantime and sat down in a comfy chair to keep an eye on her charge and to read the latest celebrity mishaps.

A pale hand still rested on his teddy bear, his breath came in soft gasps. About an hour passed when Patrick knocked quietly on the door, Rune was still sleeping, he entered the room and lightly tapped Christina on the shoulder. He smiled and motioned for her to move outside, so that they wouldn't disturb the sleeping child.

Christina nodded. She got up and laid the magazine on the seat she was sitting on and fallowed Patrick into the hallway, lightly closing the door, "Is there something wrong Doctor?" other than what I already know...
