"Before we see what kind of mess Faunus has created, I need you to secure Nedrick's soul first, Freddie." Ned said.
"Giving that we're running out of time, that sounds like a logical first step." Fernando replied summoning a crystal ball the size of a volleyball in his hand.
"A crystal ball?" Ned questioned.
"I need it to secure his soul." Fernando Answered.
"The way you summoned it was cool." Garrick commented, "Not really hun, you're just easily impressed...I can tell that just from looking at my replacement." Fernando replied smirking as he looked Ned up and down.
"If you're done dwelling on the past, I suggest you follow me Freddie, because we have work to do." Ned replied making Garrick and Faunus chuckle.
Scoffing, "And where should I follow you exactly?" Fernando asked.
"I had my brother moved somewhere deeper into the hospital, it's a place that's not accessible for everyone." Ned said and started walking ahead of the group.
After a couple of minutes from following Ned, the group made it to a hidden Area inside the hospital, with a sign that read 'Special Emergency department'.
This part of the hospital seemed to have few patients around, but more Security.
And As the group walked inside, They stopped briefly When Ned approached the receptionist Desk that divides the department in the middle into two sections, with Section 1 on the left, and second 2 on the right.
When Ned was done, "Security in here is tighter than the rest of the hospital, And I can smell something mixed in with the overpowering smell of disinfectants." Fernando spoke-up.
"This department is for secondary genders health issues, I had it specifically hidden away...Anyways let's go." Ned explained before turning left towards section 1.
"WAIT SIR!" A tall guard loudly stopped Garrick from entering section 1.
"Sir, section 1 is strictly for Omegas, As an Alpha you need a permission to enter this side, do you have one sir?" The guard asked.
"Umm...Ask him?" a nervous Garrick said pointing at Ned that was now in front of the guard.
Looking down, "Boss! I didn't see you there!" The guard was spooked when he finally saw Ned.
"Jeffery, how come you didn't see me huh? Am I that short?" Ned Asked annoyed.
Embarrassed, "Sorry boss, is this man with you?" The guard asked.
Sighing, "Yes he's with me, in both senses." Ned replied making both Garrick and Faunus chuckle again while Fernando rolled his eyes hard.
Embarrassed, "I see...I'm sorry again sir, I wasn't paying attention, I'm kinda tired and I didn't mean to stop your boyfriend on purpose. " The guard replied.
"It's okay dude, you were just doing your job." Garrick said smiling.
"Garrick's right, And I guess it's my fault for bringing him around here, knowing he's an Alpha and all." Ned spoke next.
"Oh, and Btw Jeff! tell the rest of the security team, I'm sorry for overworking you guys, I was told earlier about this issue." Ned spoke again bowing his head apologetically.
Blushing, "Thank you boss, I'll send over your message to the others.
Please proceed." The guard replied clearing the way.
After passing through security, the group continued walking behind Ned until they eventually made it to a secluded operation room, where a couple of doctors waited for them inside.
"Ooh!" Faunus looked around in curiosity, "Is there a reason why you chose this room?" Garrick asked.
"This operation room is generally reserved for my family's use." Ned explained.
"I forgot you're crazy rich...Well, I'm impressed Valentino." Fernando said.
Dismissing the other two doctors, "Now that we're alone." Ned replied, "Here's your patient, Freddie." he added pointing at the person who was laid on the operation table.
After approaching him, "Damn, The accident really did a number on him!" Fernando said inspecting Nedrick's body, "Btw, he does look like you Ned! your mom got some strong genes." He added jokingly.
"Ugh, he is so embarrassing!" Faunus said disgusted.
"Wouldn't it be too much to move Nedrick from here?" Garrick questioned.
"You are right! Mother, I have an idea... instead of going through the whole trouble of moving your brother to My brother's workplace, why not continue using this room?" Faunus suggested.
"That's what I was about to say!" Garrick said, "It does sound like a nice idea." Ned replied, "Freddie, you can use this room.
It hasn't been used for a long while now, meaning it's isolated and unapproachable, so nothing would interfere with your work." He added.
"Does my opinion matter at this point?" Fernando said rolling his eyes.
"It does, but only when it comes to Nedrick's body-crafting process." Ned replied with honesty.
"Whatever." Fernando said, "I could roll with this, but that's just Because i'm not doing this for free or out of good will." He added.
"Fernando doing things out of good will? I think pigs will fly before that would happen." Faunus commented sniggering.
Smiling, "Pigs will most certainly fly when you lose those ugly stripper heels." Fernando replied mocking Faunus.
"Why You!" Faunus said hissing at Fernando, "I think you should go twin brother, it's time for the grown ups to work!" Fernando replied.
"These two." Garrick shook his head in disapproval.
"It's not that I agree with what Freddie said, but you should go Fau." Ned spoke-up, "I need you to go back to Edward.
And I suggest this time, you'd move him to the hotel." Ned added.
"The hotel? you want him to stay in a five-star room?" Faunus questioned.
"No! don't be silly, I want you to lock Edward in the wine cellar, or suspend him...your choice.
Keep him there Until I hear what he has to say...which basically would be very soon from now, giving that I'm about to time travel." Ned explained.
Slightly bowing his head, "As you wish mother, goodbye for now everyone." Faunus replied smiling.
"Bye Fau!" Garrick said, "Meow-meow Bitch!" Fernando said blowing Faunus a kiss.
After giving his twin brother the middle finger he very much deserved, Faunus took off.
...Few minutes later...
"I brought everything I need, it's all set and we can start any moment you like." Fernando said.
"Thank you again Freddie...And Garrick, are you sure you want to help? I'll appreciate it very much to have you by my side.
But I also understand if you want to back away now." Ned said, "You already know body-crafting is not a pretty process, and it's getting done by somebody you don't like either." he added.
"No, it's fine...I'll stay with you lovely." Garrick replied despite feeling uneasy.
"Thank you Handsome." Ned said giving Garrick a quick kiss on the lips.
Clicking his tongue, "No freaky-dicky stuff around here! this is a professional workplace.
So, are we ready? And btw If we're traveling back in time from this moment, will we be back to this exact moment once we're done?" Fernando questioned.
"Yes, It'll be as if we never traveled to begin with." Ned replied.
"Cool! I can't wait to fix this one up... now that I see him more closely, I think Nedrick is kinda cute...even in this condition he looks better than you Ned." Fernando said smiling.
Surprised, "Eww Freddie! that's my brother!" Ned said, "Half-brother, at least he doesn't share your dad's ugly genes!" Fernando replied.
"Double Eww! the kid is half dead right now Freddie!" Garrick said.
"Blame it on the car driver cuz I didn't run him over sugar." Fernando sassily replied, "BTW Ned! your brother looks old enough to be an adult, is he an adult by any chance?" he Added asking.
Sighing, "Yes Unfortunately, he's 18...And he's an alpha if you're wondering too." Ned answered while slowly regretting it.
Clapping his hands together, "Sweet! So he's like the the actual date-able version of you! I'll keep that in mind when I'm done with his body." Fernando replied, "If I didn't know you have the money and the means Doc, I would've given you a discount, just for your brother." he added.
Leaning over to whisper to Ned, "Please tell me you're not gonna actually let him date your brother! I started dating Freddy when I was 18 too, and I'm pretty sure this is creepy even if it's not considered criminal." Garrick said horrified.
Equally horrified, "It'll be in Another universe before Freddie becomes my brother-in-law, so don't worry about it." Ned whispered back.
Clearing his throat, "Uhum! you two done whispering to each other like two old Aunties at a wedding they didn't wanna attend cuz they have beef with the bride's mother but still came for the food and the gossip Anyways?" Fernando asked.
While Garrick sighed, "Yep, let's start!" Ned replied.
...Meanwhile...
Tired of Agu silently sitting besides him, "You gonna stay quiet forever? you know I wanna hear it from you before anybody else, So please tell me why did you fight with Ned?" Yuuya asked, "I want you to hear it from me too...believe me.
But I'm afraid you're gonna hate me for it, I did something bad, it's worth you giving me back my ring." Agu replied.
"I can't promise you I won't be mad." Yuuya said, "But if you come clean to me, I promise this ring will never leave my finger." he added.
"You promise?" Agu said, "I do." Yuuya replied.
...Few minutes later...
"You did it for me...So this is partially my fault." A sad Yuuya said with difficulty as a lump formed in his throat.
Grunting, "Baby no! it's not your fault, not even a tiny bit!" Agu replied hugging his fiance close to his chest.
"It is my fault!" Yuuya bursted crying, "I made you hurt Garrick." he sobbed, trembling uncontrollably in Agu's embrace.
Agu's eyes were prickling with tears, "I chose to do it, it's my fault and mine only if Garrick ends-up resenting me." he replied.
Waltzing into the room, "Are you sure? because I don't resent you, at all." Garrick spoke-up chuckling.
"Garrick?" Yuuya said surprised to see his bestfriend, "Ned told you already?" Agu questioned.
"Yeah...he did, last week actually...Forget what I said, it doesn't matter anymore." Garrick said confusing The other two.
Sniffing, "I don't know what that means but... where's Ned?" Yuuya asked.
"He's occupied.
But he explained to me what Agu did and why, and although I don't approve of the method considering you're my friend and you drugged me.
Yet the drugs had a weird effect on me, that I'm actually grateful for." Garrick said.
"What do you mean?" Agu asked, "I got my childhood memories back! I know where I came from...I have a family, Siblings and parents!
In fact I met my father today, it was weird cuz she's an alpha, she has a crush on Ned and I punched her because she kissed him, then you drugged me and I got my childhood memories back, and remembered that she's actually my father..." An excited Garrick began telling everything altogether and it further confused the couple.
"Stop! sit down and speak slowly, I didn't catch half of what you said right now!" Agu said.
"Okay!" Garrick hurriedly sat besides his two friends, so he can tell them about everything that happened today.
...Meanwhile...
"It's amazing...Your work is marvelous." Ned said looking at his brother.
"You're welcome.
This is what I do for living after all, I gotta be the very best.
Also I was right, he's very cute." Fernando replied smirking.
"Once he wakes-up, he'll be either very thirsty or hungry... let's hope it's the first." Fernando spoke again while he inspected for the final time, The fully recovered body of Nedrick.
"Thanks Freddie, this is worth any trouble I'll get into with Yuri." Ned replied smiling happily.
Watching the doctor stare at a brother he just met with pure joy, "You're really an angel...Eww!" Fernando replied fighting a smile of his own.
