FTEC, Saturday Night

Tommy was neither tiny nor wee.

He was, however, in FTEC for anybody who might need snarky medical help of some sort.

Artie leaped into the clinic, carrying Phoebe. "Doctor person! We require aid!"

Tommy snapped some gloves on and came over to check. He saw Artie and some little kid he'd never seen before. "What happened?"

Phoebe was about to wail again.

"The balcony hurt my arm and made it make a funny sound like when you break a plate!" Phoebe tried to show him her left arm but then cried when she tried to move it.

Tommy had daughters. He knew what this was like.

"If I give you five dollars will you stop crying?"
sensethevisions: (Wee!Phoebe)

Phoebe shut up immediately.

"Okay."

Her lower lip was trembling still, but he now had her complete silent attention.

"Atta girl!" Tommy said. He peeled off a five and put it where she can see it. "Let me take care of your arm without a problem and the next one'll be a ten."
sensethevisions: (Wee!Phoebe)

[personal profile] sensethevisions 2006-04-30 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Phoebe's eyes widened at his words and then she nodded solemnly, determined that she wouldn't make a sound. $15? She'd be rich!!

"Okay Dr. Tommy!"

[identity profile] ladder62.livejournal.com 2006-04-30 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay, sweetheart, I'm going to take a look at your arm now," Tommy said. "You can be a big girl and sit still, right?"
sensethevisions: (Wee!Phoebe)

[personal profile] sensethevisions 2006-04-30 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Phoebe nodded and bit her lip. "I'm a big girl," she agreed.

She liked Dr. Tommy. He wasn't scary like other doctors. He wasn't creepy like Dr. Troy was.

And? He liked giving little girls who got hurt money.

Tommy tried to examine her arm as gingerly as possible. "Yeah, that looks broken all right. I'm gonna need to handwave an x-ray and put a cast on it. Ever had a cast before, sweetheart?"
sensethevisions: (Wee!Phoebe)

[personal profile] sensethevisions 2006-04-30 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Phoebe's eyes welled with tears again.

"Is it going to hurt?"

[identity profile] ladder62.livejournal.com 2006-04-30 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
"Nahhh," Tommy said. "X-rays don't hurt. It's just like light. Does it hurt when light touches you?"

Then Tommy realized that on this freak-ass island it was entirely possible that it did. But at least this way he'd find out early.
sensethevisions: (Wee!Phoebe)

[personal profile] sensethevisions 2006-04-30 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Phoebe thought for a second and then shook her head.

"Fire hurts, but not light," she agreed. "And will this... castthingy hurt?"

[identity profile] ladder62.livejournal.com 2006-04-30 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Pfft, nah," Tommy said. "Might hurt other people if you hit them with it though. That's fun."
sensethevisions: (Wee!Phoebe)

[personal profile] sensethevisions 2006-04-30 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Phoebe thought about this and then she got a gleam in her eye. She could hit that mean Anakin with it.

She smiled bravely at Dr. Tommy.

"Okay."

[identity profile] ladder62.livejournal.com 2006-04-30 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Great," Tommy got up to get the portable x-ray. "Now put your arm up here and sit real still while we handwave we do this."
sensethevisions: (Wee!Phoebe)

[personal profile] sensethevisions 2006-04-30 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Phoebe nodded and did exactly what Dr. Tommy told her to do. Her arm really hurt but he was going to make it all better.

"The cast will make it stop hurting?"

[identity profile] ladder62.livejournal.com 2006-04-30 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
"I'll give you some medicine to help with that too," Tommy said. "Not the hard stuff, but if you want to break into Mommy's liquor cabinet go nuts."
sensethevisions: (Wee!Phoebe)

[personal profile] sensethevisions 2006-04-30 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Phoebe stared at Dr. Tommy in shock and then her lower lip trembled. Before too many seconds had passed, tears started streaming down her cheeks.

"My mommy is gone," she sobbed. "Grams said she went to a better place like heaven! She has no more cabinets and no more hugs, either!"

She looked like she might start wailing.

"Keep it up and Mr. Ten Dollar Bill goes bye-bye too," Tommy said. He started in on the cast.

Artie pulled a large, colorful lollipop from . . . somewhere, and held it out for Phoebe. He winked.

[identity profile] ladder62.livejournal.com 2006-04-30 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
"That works too," Tommy said.
sensethevisions: (Wee!Phoebe)

[personal profile] sensethevisions 2006-04-30 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
The lollipop and the reminder of the money made Phoebe stop sobbing, and now the tears were silent. She grinned at Artie and sucked on the lollipop while Tommy worked on her arm.

He didn't know her mommy was dead, so she couldn't stay mad at him.

And Artie was her hero! A superhero!

Tommy finished up. "Okay, babe, you are all done. Here's your ten, and a free marker for all your friends to sign your cast with."
sensethevisions: (Wee!Phoebe)

[personal profile] sensethevisions 2006-04-30 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Phoebe put the ten in her pocket with her five and put the marker in there as well.

Then she wrapped her arms around Dr. Tommy and kissed his cheek loudly.

"Thank you, Dr. Tommy!"
