The Paths We Take
Author's Note: Ok I know it's been one long ass time sense I updated but you know school and crap like that have been quite the interference. But guess what, it's summer now and no more school. Sense I have an abundance of free time, expect to see more and better chapters for this story and also expect to see more stories by me for this anime and others as well. I'm brimming with ideas and I can't wait to make them into stories.
Chapter Five: The Witch Doctor
Amon couldn't wait to hear what the "doctor" had to say. What kind of crazy treatment did he have, and what was in store for them? On the way there, Amon was yet again unfocussed and almost ran into an old guy who was with his granddaughter. And yet again the old guy gave Amon the finger. "What's with old people and giving people the finger?" he thought to himself. "Amon slow down. I know your nervous and I am too but you have to focus." Robin was not at all pleased with his driving. She just gave him a look and just to be sure, held on tight to the side handle.
Not a word was said as the couple climbed the steps into Nagira's office. Inside the waiting room, the secretary lady and that weird guy were the only ones who were there. "He's waiting in his office for you two," said the secretary in her usual boss like tone. As they crossed the room, the couple heard her mutter to that guy, "That girl is way to young to have a child. I guess it didn't work out between her and Nagira so she decided to have his brother instead." Robin's powers took over and she turned around and was about to give her one when Nagira opened the door to his office and brought her back to sanity. "Oh good you're here," Nagira said. "This way. The good doctor awaits." The couple took a seat at a table across from a guy who looked to be about 45 or 50 years old. He was good looking for his age and showed no sign of wear and tear but still looked middle aged. He had a full head of shiny brown hair and deep blue eyes. "Amon, Robin, this is Dr. Lee who specializes in the treatment of witches and their powers. He is very skilled and I do believe he can help you." Dr. Roberts smiled at them and looked at the two and nodded. "I can tell this is going to be a very challenging case indeed. Hello, I am doctor Roberts. As Nagira has told you, I specialize in the care and treatment of witches and their powers. I know a great deal about the existence of witches and have devoted my life to helping my kind." That last remark caught Amon's attention. "Your kind you say. I see. You're a witch also." "Yes I am. My powers allow me too memorize and learn a great deal. Sometimes I know the answer to things I never learned about. It especially helps in the medical field so it helped me become a rather wise doctor if I might add." Amon was somewhat skeptical. "Just where did you go to medical school .... Owe, what was that for?" Amon looked over at Robin who had just elbowed him in the ribs really hard. She leaned over and whispered to him, "be nice to him would you? He's the only one who can help and I don't want you to drive him away with your attitude." "That's quite all right," the doctor said in a friendly and understanding voice. "I would have asked the same thing if I were you. It's obvious that you love your wife very much and I promise to help all that I can. I got my PHD at Harvard Med and I graduated first in my class. It wasn't until I got there that I found out more about my own kind...about witch medicine. There was a secret class there that I learned about through a fellow witch. I was even more surprised because at the time, I didn't know I was a witch. I just thought I was very smart. When I went there, I surprised my professor and myself by knowing most of the answers before I ever learned anything. Through the years, I have traveled all over the world to help fellow witches with my advanced knowledge." "So doctor, what kind of treatment have you devised?" asked Robin. She couldn't wait any longer. This was the most she ever relied on anybody and surely with his powers, if he couldn't help, nobody could. "Well it's simple really," he said with an ordinary voice as if this happened everyday, "all we have to do is give Robin gene replacement therapy. But it still will be challenging. Her powers, from what I hear, are set to destroy anybody who tries to harm or anger Robin. That's why before the treatment, we have to kill her first." "What!" rang all three people's voices in the office. Amon was furious and grabbed the Doctor by the collar of his shirt. "Nagira!" Amon yelled, "What kind of maniac did you let in here?" "Hey!" Nagira yelled back, "Doctor Lee didn't mention that part to me." Robin on the other hand sensed that there was more that wasn't said. Robin looked and Nagira and Amon fighting like children all while the poor doctor was gasping for air and trying to get Amon to let go of his throat. Suddenly a blast of fire shot out just missing the top of Amon's and Nagira's head. "Will you two shut up," she yelled. Amon and Nagira looked up in surprise at Robin. "Amon let go." "Do I have to?" "Yes!" Amon let go reluctantly at the command of his wife. "Now will you two shut the hell up and let the doctor talk. I'm sure there's more to it than what you thought." All three men were now scarred that the once gentle girl would skin them alive if they didn't let the doctor talk. "Are you all right?" she said in her most kind voice to the doctor. "Yes, thank you. Now before I was so rudely interrupted, I was going to say that I would have the aid of another witch. Of coarse if we just kill Robin the whole thing will be meaningless but my assistant who is also a witch has the power to bring things back to life just by touching it. Once the therapy is complete, she will use her power to bring back Robin and she should make a full recovery. Now let me explain the actual therapy. In order for Robin's powers to take over, they must stake a permanent claim in her, therefore, her genes. Once there, they become part of the person as if that had been how she was always. Robin's occasional fits of rage mean that her powers are taking a claim in her genes but haven't affected each strand of DNA. Once each strand has the negative power in it, Robin's true form will immerge and to sum it up, all hell will break loose. I will inject a solution to rid of the bad genes forever while running various tests and things like that. We will also need to do several things like electronic blasts to help the fluid effect every gene and move along in the un-flowing bloodstream. While this is happening, Robin's powers won't lash out at us because she will be dead and her powers only trigger when one is alive of course. I must warn you though. This procedure is very new but we can't waste time. When every gene is effected, it will be almost impossible to do the treatment because Robin will kill us all before we could even touch her. Also, there are other risks as well. Robin could loose her powers forever and she could even loose her baby." At this Robin looked terrified. The last thing she wanted to do was harm her child in any way. "Doctor," she said gathering all the courage she had, "I want to have the procedure as soon as possible. If I wait to have the baby, it will be too late and I will kill everybody I love and eventually my baby would die too. This is the only way I see that it could possibly survive. I don't care what happens to me, just let my baby live." Amon was just as scarred as Robin was. There was no way he was going to see either of them die. "But doctor," he said, "wouldn't your assistant be able to bring the baby back to life?" "It would seem that way but when we experimented on pregnant lab rats, the baby.... well it seemed to...disintegrate. But that only happened to some of the rats. It was do to something in the fluid we injected but we don't know how to correct it and even if we did, there's no time. There is a good chance that your baby will be fine and will return to life when my assistant uses her power on Robin." "Amon," Robin said in a confident voice, "We have no other choice. This is the only way." Amon understood that also and knew that his wife had set her mind and nothing could change that. Robin then reached out and shook the doctors hand to seal the deal. As the couple walked out, Dr. Lee motioned for Amon to talk to him in private. "Amon, I suggest that you make the days leading up to the operation as happy as possible for Robin. "I know, because this might be our last happy moments." "No," the doctor said. "It's because Robin is pregnant and you don't want to piss off a pregnant women, especially one who could kill you in a second." The doctor walked away with a smile on his face leaving Amon even more afraid to ever use up all the hot water.
