Healing

Andy sits next to Loki who tries to help Andy with her food as she's not wearing her arm. Miss Andy Odin says to break the silence. Yes sir? Andy says. It is not often I see a child so young with...your skill Thor told me about what happened on earth. He showed me  a...video father. Right a video. Oh..Andy says. Where did you train? I...I learned primarily through experience Andy says I learned to survive at a young age. Remnant ...it isn't exactly welcoming of my kind. Your kind? Andy raises an eyebrow. You mean to tell me your fox tail and ears - make me less human. In their eyes at least. Andy looks down. I was raised by my brother actually and the leader of ...well it's like a milita I suppose  but it wasn't always that way. Guira he didn't believe in violence being the way but the violence continued families were being killed and when the largest dust company switched over to Jacques it was over. What do you mean? The founder of the company he treated the Faunus fairly while Jacques ...did not. But where did you train? Once I learned how to use a weapon I was taught the basics I don't remember who..but my brother left me to deal with the Grimm while he and the rest went on raids. As I got older I snuck off to the various academies and I actually was able to stay at one long enough to forge my own weapon. You made your own weapon? Andy nods to Loki. And your magic? Andy looks down. My magic passed to me when my mother died. Loki's eyes widen. Andy you don't need to...tell me more about your weapon Odin says changing the subject and Andy starts to animatedly go off about how the weapon was forged and the different kinds of dust and weapons it can change in to. When they're done with dinner Thor and Loki take Andy to the training grounds. Andy sits next to Loki as Thor goes over to three men and a woman ...Andy and Loki talk quietly about magic then he says come there are things I can show you. Andy follows him into the garden and she smiles when she sees it. It's beautiful. This is my mother's garden. He says ...his eyes widen in surprise when a woman turns and she says Loki? His eyes widen mother I- she throws her arms around him and he returns the hug. I thought I'd lost you. I'm here mother. My boy..you look...you look happy...her eyes go to Andy who's studying a plant. And you met someone? A friend Loki says extending his arm to help Andy to her feet. This is Andy he says brother and I are going to help her get back to her home. That's wonderful ...come I'll make some tea.


Now tell me what is a lovely girl like yourself...doing all alone in New York? Mother! I guess it's a fair question Andy allows. I was in remnant and I had just found Yang she's ...she's like my older sister. Her family adopted me. Um ...she had been looking for her mother and his finally found her ...raven that's her name. Raven didn't want to send me with Yang but she sent me to new York to keep me out of Cinders hands. She sent you into a realm you didn't know?! And they still found you! It was better then being recaptured. They've been trying to find a way to keep me out of their way. They figured out they couldn't extract the magic from me so either they keep me subdued or - out of the way. Loki says. Andy nods. But that doesn't explain your brother showing up. Loki says. Adam Andy says. He's more my enemy then my brother. Family is family Frigga says. Not always Andy says. Blood isn't always family. Adam stopped being my brother when he killed my parents. What? Andy looks down. I'm convinced he would've killed me. But he didn't Loki says. He puts a hand on her arm. I got away from him when I was nine tried to join the atlas military. Andy laughs nervously. The general helped even if I couldn't join ...I ended up saving a lot of dust and the owner of the company gave me a life time supply of dust and had me introduced to his granddaughter. Weiss...Andy's eye's look worried. You'll see them again Loki says. You don't understand after the battle of beacon her father Jacques took her back to Atlas. She got away but they have to go back because that's the safest place the entity of it is an icy fortress. Andy's hand goes into a fist. Tell me about how the General helped you. Loki says. She relaxes. I went to Atlas when I was nine. The general was kind to me. And Weiss...she had never seen anyone like me before. At that point the Schmee dust company wasn't a friend to the fanus even if the owner didn't know it. We talked for a little while and then the beast reared his ugly head. What? My brother showed up. Frigga's eyes widen. You ran away. Of course. What happened Loki asks he tried to kill me. He almost spits out his tea. When you were nine? Yes. His eyes go to where her right arm would be. How old was he? Fifteen almost sixteen. At nine you ...yes. Wow...he whispers. What? Am I missing something? Andy managed to best her older brother while only losing her arm. Friggas eye's widen.  You must be very skilled. Andy looks down. I could've saved so many people if I- Loki puts his hand on hers. You are not responsible for your brother. He looks up when he sees someone. Yes? He says. Prince Loki the healers are ready for you and miss Andy. Come Loki says to Andy. He bows his head mother. She smiles at him and he says thank you for informing me I will escort miss Andy to the healing rooms. The servant bows his eyes wide. Loki takes Andy's good arm and they walk together. He stops when a woman blocks their way. Excuse us he says. Don't think I'm fooled by this act she says. You may have fooled your brother and even the all father but not  me. She turns her nose up and she says I'd watch my back if I were you. Is that a threat? Andy says her eyebrow raised. The woman laughs what are you going to do about it? You're just crippled animal- Andy punches the woman in the face. Don't call me an animal she says before beginning to walk away. Andy! Loki glares at the woman before going after Andy. Her face is pale and her eyes wide. I- it's alright he says  I'm sorry I didn't mean- deep breaths he says gently ...I just hate being called an animal Andy whispers I ...I understand he says they finally get to the healing chambers and they take their places on the soft beds. Andy watches them as Loki goes into a chamber ...it'll be alright he says before stepping inside. Now then let's take a look at those injuries. A woman goes over to Andy and she smiles at her. I'm Fiona she says now let's see that arm of yours my arm is gone Andy says. The woman puts her hand on the closed up stump...do you use a prothesic? Andy nods and she focuses and it appears in her hand. Here ...it's been tampered with that's why I'm not wearing it. The healer nods and studies it. This is extremely advanced for earth she says. It doesn't come from earth. It comes from atlas it's in remnant . Ah she holds it up and she says I'm going to fix this for you. Andy nods and she places it into a glowing chamber and closes it. That'll clean the toxins out. Andy nods and she says alright dear I need you to come with me Andy follows her into a cylinder like chamber and she says just step onto the Dias there ...that's it ...Andy steps on and the magic begins to swirl around her once the chamber closes ...close your eyes dear and breathe...that's it. She monitors both vitals on a screen. Later Thor comes in and he says how are they lady Fiona? Doing well she says. Your brother will take longer then the girl. Thor nods. He was gone for a long time and I suspect there is lingering effects. He studies Andy's still form. Did she have an abrasion on her hand? Yes ...then lady Sief was speaking the truth. What do you mean? She claimed the girl Andy punched her. I will speak to her about it when she wakes. Andy seems to be a ...complicated girl Fiona says. I'm sure she had good reason for lashing out. Perhaps. Two days come and go and Andy is sleeping in the bed br Loki is still in the chamber. Finally the process completes and he's moved to the bed to rest. Lady Fiona? Thor asks. The girl should be awake by mid morning and your brother by late evening. And look I wasn't expecting it to work this well she will be ecstatic He grins this is good news...


Andy's silver eyes  blink open and the ceiling slowly comes into focus. She mentally takes inventory of her body her left arm her legs her right arm...her RIGHT ARM? Andy cries out waking Fiona Andy tries to pull herself up but fails ...Fiona helps her and smiles at her. Hello dear. Andy's eye's are wide and she says nothing I...my arm...yes. The healing chambers are wondrous. You must possess a great deal of healing magic for the process to work this well. Andy stares at her right hand opening and closing the fist. She looks at her arm and sees there is a series of scars where her arm was severed Fiona touches it gently is it tender? Andy nods once. I'll get you a bandage brace just to strengthen it. Andy nods and Fiona says here drink this ...now rest dear that's it...good...
