"You can walk and stand, but no sudden movements and take it easy. Unfortunately rib breaks often have to heal on their own. I can get my assistant to speed up the process when he's done dealing with a few other patients." Cas explains nodding towards Adrian and Iki even as she turns her attention back to Dante. Though Cassius's movements leave her twitching the urge to go to the thief strong, but her duty clear enough.
"I'm just better at compartmentalizing stuff then most Dante. You find you'll deal with a lot of disturbing stuff if it means helping people and those you care about." Doctor Cross murmurs her voice going a bit soft as she narrows her eyes in concentration carefully picking various bits of debris from Dante's burns and injuries. Before going over his back with a disinfectant wipe. Were it not for the topical anesthesia he'd likely be screaming as the burn as thankfully not so deep as to be a fourth degree burn and only a third degree in most sections, but that meant his nerves were still active.
"All right I'm going to slather you down with burn ointment and tape a pad over your back. Try not to move much till my assistant can speed up your healing. I'm going to need to monitor the process to ensure I got everything out of the wound." She explained carefully putting said ointment over the injury as she applied a medical pad taping it over the injury with medical tape.
"Ah Doctor Cross I'm all done with the...oh it seems we have more patients." The Medicmon trailed off as he pushed open the door to the surgery room.
"Ah Jegan just the mon I was waiting for." Cas murmurs with a smile.
Meanwhile Zaku zigs and zags showing off his ninja like dexterity or lack there of at times by dodging Wormmon and soon Shoutmon when he's it. Though the little Monitamon was prone to tripping on his own feet attempting to make last minute ducks and spins. "Heh this is fun! Maybe when the rain stops we can all go play in the backyard." Zaku chirps out happily.

Wormmon and Annie join with Shoutmon and Monitamon for a game of tag inside the waiting room. Wormy is able to catch up to Shoutmon in the corner of the room, tagging the one who tagged him in the first place. After all, he never said no tag backs. Monitamon tries their best to avoid being tagged, but it appears that he is too clumsy for his own good. Annie tries hard not to get tagged, and stands around looking anxious when whoever is it is going after someone else. Playing tag felt a little too much like her own struggle to survive. Though this was a lot more fun. She starts to enjoy herself.
"You're right, Zaku. There's a lot more room outside. As long as that motorcycle doesn't chase us. I doubt any of us would be able to tag them."
Dante however was not enjoying himself, as is the nature of being in an operating room. Cas is right, sometimes if you want to help people, you deal with the dark and disturbing realities of life. Even with his back numbed, he can feel his body twitch as Cas removes the charred debris lodged into his flesh. Cas explains to Dante that she is going to apply burn ointment and tape a pad on, telling him to try not to move around too much.
"Alright. Can I lay on my back, or do I have to lay facing down?"
Iki seems to be warming up to the others. Adrian makes a comment about serious injuries happening to the new friends Dante makes.
"Ya, sometimes I guess. Though there's a few people I wouldn't mind seeing sent to the emergency room."
Dante looks over at Cassius laying there on the operating table. Maybe Dante spoke too soon. If people could talk out their problems without resorting to violence, this kind of thing wouldn't happen.
"I better be careful what I wish for. Cassius is a jerk ten times over, but, I don't enjoy seeing him like this. If only things had gone differently."
The redhead is still not revealing the fact that he is responsible for Cassius' stab wound. In the moment it seemed like the right thing to do. They were fighting each other after all. Dante lets out an agonizing grunt as the tendons in his back react to the ointment. Even while numbed, the burns are causing him pain. He does his best to remain calm, and grit it out through the pain.
"I've got to start rethinking this whole heroic Digimon Tamer shtick. Maybe it's time I work a more relaxed schedule. Young guns like you, Adrian, can risk your hide to protect the city. I think I will spend less time seeking danger and thrills, and look after Annie."

Alright, Shoutmon thought as he ran around the waiting room, gotta be strategic here. Zaku's probably the easiest target here, at the moment, with him being clumsy and all. If I can just tag him...
Shoutmon ran over to Zaku during a moment where he would be clumsy on his feet, and tagged him successfully. "You're it, Zaku!" He then bolted away immediately.
Like Dante, Adrian and Iki weren't having fun. Neither of them liked seeing others be hurt like this, especially Adrian. At least he was able to walk now. Just as he was getting up, a brand new Digimon he'd never seen appeared. "Whoa..." He immediately took his time to scan this Digimon.
"Hmm... A Medicmon."
"Yeah, a perfect partner for a doctor... although it may not be her partner. It might be more like those Monitamon we saw earlier."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"They're called mercenaries. If you pay the right amount of bits, then you can hire one of these guys as sort of an extra partner that doesn't digivolve."
"Ah... so, where is Doctor Cross' real partner?"
Dante then starts talking about rethinking the whole heroic act, which Adrian laughs at. "Sure, you can definitely try, but I know the truth. Neither of us were expecting this whole thing to go down today. You don't go looking for trouble, trouble always finds you. I'm still relatively new to Digimon, but I know that much."
"Besides..." Iki says to the both of them, "I think you may want to stay in this just a bit longer. Something big is coming. Something bad..."
Adrian raises an eyebrow. "Something bad like what?"
"...RedMagnamon."

"Despite common misconception I don't actually relish blood and death even in regards to my enemies." Cassandra explained with a shake of her motioning Jegan over.
"Adrian, Iki, Dante, this is Jegan one of my companions. He's going to work on healing your ribs Adrian so please hold still for him." She explained before turning to the Digimon himself who glanced between the three humans with clinical interest.
"Adrian has a couple of fractured possibly broken ribs. None of them have shifted out of place though so you should be able to heal them easily." Cas instructed even as the Medicmon gave a nod ambling up the boy himself.
"If you would remain still please and try to breath shallowly so as to not cause shifting." Jegan instructed as he radiated soft blue healing light at the boys torso that had already begun to purple gradually with bruising. Meanwhile Cassandra herself motioned for Dante to remain sitting.
"It's easier if you do not lay down. If you can sit up straight so I can wrap the gauze it will make this even easier come time." She explained grabbing the container of ointment as she switched out her gloves and began to carefully apply it to the wounded area. She would need to apply multiple pads, but with luck Jegan could speed along the healing. Adrian would already find his breathing becoming gradually easier as the pain lessened.
"Now what is this about a RedMagnamon?" She asked listening with half a ear as she worked on securing the pads with gauze to Dante's back.
Meanwhile Zaku frowned at suddenly finding himself it, but called the game temporarily to a pause. "I doubt Behemoth will bother us. Come on! There's tons of room outside!" He called out leading the group back down the hall and out into the backyard into the fenced grassy area.
"Ok go!" He called out darting after Annie intent on tagging her this time. Though the group might notice Char watching them with interest from the back door where he kept watch on the stairs.

Adrian made a good point. Dante didn't always go out looking for trouble. Sometimes it just seems to find him. On some days, if he had his way, Dante would lounge around the house, eating junk food and smoking cigarettes. Although Wormmon would get bored fast, and soon demand some action. Going on adventures can be fun, but after this particular journey, the injuries were more than what Dante is willing to go through.
"You're right, trouble has a way of turning up when I least expect it. Maybe I will feel better about going on adventures after some time to rest."
Cas reveals that Adrian has a few broken ribs. Jegan, a medic Digimon, assists with treating the young Tamer's injuries. Cas says that she doesn't relish blood and death, but it came along with her profession as a doctor. Dante can tell just how dedicated Cassandra is to her craft by the horrors that she willingly puts herself through in order to provide care to those in need.
When Dante asks if he can lay down, Cas suggests he sit up straight so she can wrap the gauze. Dante rises up and leans forward a bit, trying not to groan too much from the pain caused by his injuries.
"Alright, best to get through this and not complain. The pain is only temporary."
Meanwhile, the rest of the gang is playing tag. Shoutmon goes after the clumsy Zaku and makes the tag. Now "it", Zaku leads the group outside to continue their game with more space. Annie looks concerned about going outside. She looks over at the door to the operating room and holds her hand close to her mouth, bringing her index finger to her bottom lip.
"Outside? Are you sure it's alright? Is Dante and the nice lady okay with that?"
Wormmon smiles up at the long haired girl.
"Don't worry, it's fine. There's plenty of friendly Digimon around. Let's go crazy!"
Once outside, Zaku starts chasing Annie trying to tag her. The young girl frantically runs away in a panic, panting and breathing heavily. Zaku catches up to her and makes the tag. Annie tries to slow down, but slips in the mud and falls into a puddle of water. Wormmon's eyes widen as he looks on with concern for the frail girl. She lays there on her stomach for a while before turning over, revealing a bright eyed smile.
"Aha haha ha haaa! This is fun!"
Annie sits up and rises to her feet. She brushes some of the murky water off of her tattered robes, but it just makes her hands dirtier. She wipes her hands on her rag skirt so she doesn't get dirt on others when she tags them.
"Okay, who should I go after?"
Annie looks around at the others. She goes after Wormmon, but the Worm King scrambles away. Wormmon hops up and tries to land on Zaku's head for safety. Annie catches her breath for a moment, then takes off towards Shoutmon trying to tag the red Rookie.
Back in the office, Iki reveals a grim prophecy. RedMagnamon? What is the Spirit User talking about? As Dante goes to speak, he hears Cassius flinching on the table. The blonde Tamer turns over to face Dante and Cas, slowly opening his left eye. Once he realizes where he is, his eyes widen and he tilts his head up.
"Aaaargh, Dante... Cas! What's going on here?"

"The Medicmon here is gonna heal my ribs? Just like that?" Adrian asked. He knew Digimon had some serious power, but all the power he saw seemed to be good for CAUSING injuries, not healing them. Still, he trusted Cas and did as he was told, holding still so that Jegan could do what he had to do. Adrian could feel his pain slowly fading away as Jegan emitted a healing light towards his torso.
Now everyone was focused on Iki, as he did mention RedMagnamon. "RedMagnamon is an evil Digimon from years ago. Do you remember that one apartment complex that mysteriously blew up about six years ago? That was him. He has a deep hatred for humans, and if he isn't stopped he's going to find a way to kill millions upon millions of people."
Then Cassius began to wake up. And, of course, he seemed pissed about being there. "You're getting healed," Adrian tells Cassius. "You should be thankful after the stunt you pulled on us back in the ruins. Surprised your values haven't changed after getting thrown against a wall."
Meanwhile, the game of tag was still going strong. Now Annie was it, and was chasing right after Shoutmon. And man, that little girl was FAST! As hard as he tried to get away, Shoutmon was indeed tagged.
"Ah, dang it... look out, Wormmon, here I-" Shoutmon was then interrupted by a loud rumbling sound. Pausing for a second, he looked down as his stomach rumbled once again. He looked back at the others and chuckled with embarrassment. "Heh... I guess both the game and the fighting worked up my appetite... Anyone else hungry?"

"Shit. At least he's not screaming." The Doctor muttered under her breath, but couldn't very well stop what she was doing to move to Cassius's side. Instead she carefully finished taking care of Dante's torso before motioning for Jegan to trade out with her.
"If you would hold still for treatment please." The Medicmon instructed carefully going over Dante's back with the warm healing light as well though he did not finish healing it completely. "Wound is now healed to optimal level, but to prevent overtaxing your body I would advise allowing it to heal the rest of the way naturally." The little Digimon instructed as Cas stepped up to the Thief placing a soothing hand on his side.
"You're fine Cassius. They brought you to me for treatment. Seems you've bit off a bit more then you could chew once again." The Doctor murmured her voice gentling slightly in regards to the Thief. "Do you feel any pain? Try not to move I've got you strapped to a board since you took some spinal and head trauma." The Woman explained keeping her voice even.
Outside Zaku paused in their chase to eye Shoutmon and his rumbling stomach thoughtfully. "We could see if Cloak is up to heating us up some food. Dagger is hopeless in the kitchen. I don't think the Oyabun would mind Annie borrowing her bathroom and some clothes. We've got a washing machine and dryer downstairs for the dirty clothes." The little Monitamon explained glancing over to the others to see if they were ok with the plan.

As if things were not stressful enough with all their injuries, the thief Cassius had woken up. Dante remained silent as Medicmon picks up where Cas left off and restores his body as much as possible. Dante and Cassius stare at each other, each one filled with rage. Had it not been for their injuries, they would of finished what they started.
"You, brought me here? Of all the places... Fantastic. A moron, a juvenile delinquent, and an amateur surgeon. I refuse any aid you can offer me. Let me go, and I will leave on my own." "You're not going anywhere, criminal. Check your ego at the door for once, and don't cause any more problems than you already have."
"What choice did I have? The little girl is a menace and a danger to everyone around her. I've had a troubled past with Dr. Cross, but I don't want you to put her at risk, Dante. Where is Annie now?" "She went in the other room. I assure you, as long as Annie is not in danger, Azetramon cannot control her."
"You mean you actually brought her here? Argh! Let me out of these restraints!"
Cassius thrashes about the best he can in his injured state. Dante sneers at Cassius and grinds his teeth, then turns to Medicmon and thanks him for the treatment.
"Thank you, Medicmon. Dr. Cross, I very much appreciate your aid. Your staff is very good. Now then, what is this about RedMagnamon? What makes you think he is going to return, Iki?"
Meanwhile, the others are playing tag outside. Annie manages to tag Shoutmon, but some sudden hunger pains interrupt the game. Wormmon is happy to shift their attention towards food.
"Yes, I think it's time for a nice meal. Is there a Chicken Hut 'round here? Oh, how about a maid café? I have a holosuit." "What is a maid café?"
"It's a place where cute girls serve you overpriced sweets. I can't get enough of their warm buns." "Warm buns?"
"Ah, what's the point of talking about dirty things if you can't tell I'm being naughty? Alright, let's go back inside and get you changed out of those filthy clothes, Annie. Also, I sense a haircut is in your near future."
Annie smiles and walks over to Wormmon. She reaches down and picks him up, hugging him tight.
"Alright, let's follow Zaku back inside. I'm, I'm not used to eating with others."
Annie was much in need of a hot meal and a change of clothes. Still, once everyone is healthy, where would she go? Would Dante take her in and look after Annie? Is the slacker responsible enough to take care of a child?
Back in the operating room, Dante and Cassius are still on edge. The thief turns his attention to Dr. Cross.
"You have to listen to me. I don't want any more trouble with you, but for your own safety, you must kill the girl. Don't listen to Dante. These fools are responsible for putting me in this condition."
"Like you didn't have it coming! Going after an orphan... You have no morals, no courage at all. You have your street smarts, but beyond that, your soul is rotten to the core."
"That's so harsh, Dante. What does that make you? You're always coming up short. It's so easy to see how jealous you are of me. Is that why you stabbed me with my own blade? Is it because Angel chose me over you?"
"How dare you mention her!"
Dante gets off the table and slowly starts marching over to Cassius. If someone doesn't stop him, he intends to finish Cassius off.

"Cloak? Who's that?" Shoutmon asked Zaku as he and Wormmon both gave some ideas on what to do for food. Wormmon suggested putting on holosuits and going to a 'maids cafe' or a Chicken Hut. However, Shoutmon was opposed to both those ideas for one reason.
"Look, I'm starving, but not starving enough to want to watch you jiggle your human breasts while you're in your holosuit." His stomach would immediately give its own thoughts by growling loudly again. Blushing, Shoutmon rubbed his stomach. "Let's just get SOMETHING to eat before my stomach starts growing teeth of its own," he joked. Back inside the clinic, things were... not so hunky-dory. Cassius tried justifying that he was in the right by TRYING TO KILL A LITTLE GIRL!
"So homicide is a justifiable cause?" Iki asked Cassius bluntly. "If that's the case, Jack the Ripper must've been the purest son-of-a-bitch back in Victorian England. Besides, what you really have to worry about is RedMagnamon. He's an evil Digimon, and the reason me and my sister are orphans."
Iki did not get the chance to continue as Dante's and Cassius' fight began to start up again. Suddenly Dante charged right at Cassius in an attempt to tackle him. He would not get the chance however, as Iki would get up and grab him.
"We do not have time for your moronic squabble. We have a real situation on our hands here. And if you two just want to act like children, go and join the Digimon outside."

The Doctor did not flinch at the sudden onslaught of arguments from all sides as she instead deftly plucked a few of the clean scalpels from the tray beside her work bench, cast Cassius a solemn gaze that made it clear he should shut up and stop struggling, and then leveled the blades at Dante and Iki. "Let me make one thing very clear." Cassandra spoke her voice pitched low and dangerous like the hiss of steel on metal. "There will be no fighting in my operating room and if I so much as raise my voice you are going to have two extremely pissed off Mega level digimon dropping in around your ears." She emphasized with a flick of her fingers the sharp edges of the blades catching the light and dancing along the tips of her own claws. Jegan himself merely watched on with a sigh as he rose fetching another syringe of morphine as he carefully injected it into Cassius's IV at the Doctor's approving nod. "I would listen to the Doctor. Her partners are irritated enough as it is." The Medicmon murmured. "We don't have to go far it's just up the stairs." Zaku instructed leading the two inside as he waved at his brother Char, the red Monitamon sighing, but letting the two pass as he went to grab a mop to clean up after Annie where she left a trail of mud behind her up the stairs. The stairs themselves lead into a large open loft living room sectioned off from a small kitchen by an island counter with large bay windows with window seats filled will pillows and the majority of the walls covered in bookcases except for three doors. One of which was open showing a small full bathroom, the other right next to them by the hall would revealed to be a linen closet, and the last further in just before a small futon couch, tv, and coffee table appeared to lead into a bedroom. Appeared, being the keyword as not much could be seen past the Tactimon that stood in the doorway with one arm in a sling. "Zaku..." The Dark Samurai Digimon began in a low rumble, "Care to explain?" The Tactimon inquired with a tilt of it's armored head eyeing the ragtag group with sharp golden eyes.

While Wormmon had more than food on the mind, Shoutmon was more focused on getting food sooner rather than later. The red Rookie did not share Wormy's affinity for round squishy objects.
"Hmm. Okay then. Maybe Cassy can wear a maid's outfit. She is the only babe around. No offense, Annie, but you are like way too young, and smell like tween spirit." "What's that?" "Oh, nothing." _______________
As Dante is going towards Cassius to knock his block off, Iki interferes and grabs Dante by the arm. Dante stops in place and tries to shake the Spirit User off.
"Let me go! I just want to protect Annie."
Cas quickly laid down the law, eliminating any chance of a melee. Dante yanks his arm free and sulks back over to sit down. Cassius sneers at the doctor.
"Fine, then. If you want that monster around, fine by me. Don't come crying to me when Azetramon returns. That is no innocent child. She is deceiving you, and you idiots are falling for it."
Cassius turns his attention to Iki.
"Are you always this clueless? Your example is not relevant. We are talking about a malevolent overlord here. You are far too brash. Don't be blinded by what you can see, boy..." "You're all driving me crazy. Am I the only one here that's talking any sense?"
"Maybe you only think that you make sense because you suffered a head injury. God forbid that inferior membrane get injured. You're already incredibly incompetent as it is. Though even I think you are more rational than these two bullies. In fact, you are all hostile right now. Just let me leave, and I will never bother any of you clowns again. Enjoy serving a sociopathic little girl."
"Are you sure that you are not the one with a head injury? You're not going anywhere in your current condition. I only spared your life because somehow I found some spec of compassion for your sorry ass deep down in my heart. And until I see some proof, I'm not going to be afraid of this RedMagnamon boogeyman. Wormmon and I are more than capable of defending ourselves and our friends when we are fully rested."
"Yes, because you've clearly done a great job of that so far." "Cas, would it be a bother to sew his mouth shut? You would be doing the world a favor. Even his own allies can't stand this d-bag." "Keep talking, Dante. It's not like there's anything you can say to rival my awesomeness, or my luck with the ladies. You just can't let it go that when given the choice, chicks choose me and my sexy abs over you and your bad breath."
Dante crosses his arms and turns his nose up. Cassius relaxes and lays back, looking up at the ceiling.
"I can't believe I am stuck with you morons. The moment I'm able to, I am out of this dump." _______________
While Dante and Cassius are being jerks, Wormmon and Annie follow Zaku inside. Annie doesn't realize that she is tracking mud inside. They reach a nice looking room at the top of a staircase, but there is a Tactimon standing in the way. Annie hides behind Shoutmon and her legs start to shiver.
"I'm s-scared..." "Hey, tough guy! Can't you see poor little orphan Annie? Let us in! And how about some food?" "Don't say that, Wormmon. You'll only make him mad!" "Relax, Annie. Looks like somebody is overcompensating for something. Can we get some clean laundry over here?"

"Fighting is not the way to do so, and you know it," Iki sternly told Dante. "If you fight him, it'll lead to more conflict than it's worth. No one needs to die." Iki then turned to Cassius. "However, I have experienced death firsthand before; it affects everyone. And last I checked, murder is still illegal."
Iki's words clearly had no effect, as Dante and Cassius went back and forth, back and forth. Eventually, Adrian had had enough:
"WILL YOU BOTH JUST SHUT UP!?" After a brief bit of silence, he continues: "Think about what you're doing! Annie has an overlord Digimon thing inside of her, and what do you two decide to do?! ARGUE LIKE CHILDREN! YOU ARE GROWN-ASS MEN! I am SEVENTEEN years old and even I have more common sense than you two babies! If you start ONE MORE ARGUMENT, I will have OmniShoutmon throw BOTH OF YOU against a wall! UNDERSTAND?!" After that, Adrian would then wince in pain. He probably shouldn't have yelled like that... Meanwhile, Shoutmon was staring at what was possibly the scariest Digimon he ever saw. Annie hid behind him, so he tried to look brave, but the Tactimon could see in his eyes that he was afraid.
"S-So... Zaku says y-you're a good cook... are y-you willing to make something for us...?"

"No one is fighting anyone in my office and you have about five minutes of consciousness right now at best Cassius before the drugs kick in. You need to remain immobile till I can ensure you haven't suffered any permanent spinal damage though the fact your wiggling around so much is at least a good indicator in your favor." The Doctor growled out, actually growled the noise low guttural and utterly inhumane as she narrowed red slitted eyes at the lot of them.
"Dante you are far enough along in your healing you and Adrian can clear out of the room. I'll have Dagger help me bring Cassius up to the futon once he's out cold." Cassandra explained ushering them out of her operation room and back towards the front waiting room which was thankfully empty and the front door locked given then hour. The Woman would however loop back around grabbing a blanket from the laundry room and draping it over Cassius so he wouldn't freeze on the cold table until the morphine kicked in before she made sure her other guests were unlikely to get into trouble.
The Tactimon eyed the group with a flat hard gaze as he let out a soft snort at the Wormmons attempts at antagonizing him. "You are the very definition of overcompensation Lust though it seems you have failed to recognize me." The Samurai Digimon spoke taking a step forward as he dipped into a mocking bow his posture a familiar one as there was only ever one Dark General sure enough in their station to harbor such sarcasm...Dark Knightmon.
"However if my partner has seen fit to grant you hospitality then I suppose I shall extend unto you what amenities our home possesses. Zaku run the girl a bath and fetch some of the spare scrubs from the downstairs closet. I will see about heating up some leftovers for our guests. Since the alternative is letting Dagger cook and I think you all value your lives." The Tactimon instructed the little Monitamon leaping to do just that.
"This way Annie! I'll get the water running. Baths are super nice." The little Digimon explained darting off into the other room that was indeed the bathroom as Cloak carefully closed to door to the room he had been in behind him. Striding towards the kitchen with an eerie and deadly grace.
