katikatSo, I decided to continue my Sentinels and Guides GW series. I put a little something together. It´s unfinished and unbetaed, so beware:
The Sentinel Institute
by KatiKat
Sally Po had had enough! She knew that the emergency room of the Sentinel Institute, usually called just SI, was a busy place but the noise that was reaching her through her padded door was ridiculous. She saved the file she was working on on her laptop and strode to the door, her white coat flying after her.
She threw the door open and marched into the emergency room. "Okay, what´s going on here?!" she shouted and pushed her way through the mass of people and... Androids? What were the AUs-
"Sally?" the well known voice reached her before she could reach its owner.
"Heero? What-?" She stopped short seeing him stand in the circle the policemen and AUs built around him. What shocked her most was the lifeless body hanging in his arms.
"I´ve found my Guide, Sally," he said, his voice low with pain as he looked down at the pale face of the longhaired figure he clutched to his chest.
She rushed forward pushing away the policeman who tried to block her way. "Is he alive?" she asked anxiously touching the artery on his neck. Feeling the wildly running pulse she sighed out in relief. She then touched the boy´s forehead feeling how cold and clammy his skin was. Empathic shock for sure. "Okay, we have to take care of him now. Take him to the room 003. You know where it is."
He nodded. He had been a frequent visitor here in the last weeks since his state started to deteriorate and nothing short of a shot of morphine was able to take the edge of the violent headaches his out of the line senses caused. He gripped the limp body in his arms tightly and set off in the proper direction.
Sally moved to follow him when she noticed that one of the Officers showed every intention to join him. "And where do you think you are going?" she asked him.
Officer Brown almost flinched hearing the hostility in the Doctor´s voice. He had had enough for one day and only the vision of a hot shower and cold beer kept him from breaking down. "Sorry, Doctor-" he looked at her nametag, "-Po, but officialy the unconscious young man is a prisoner of mine." Seeing her open her mouth to protest he held up his hand. "All you have to do is sign the papers that the two are bonded, I´ll call the SSD to let them handle it and am outta here."She looked at him with suspicion and he had the feeling that she didn´t like him. "Ma´am, I´m just doing my job here," he tried to placate her.
After a couple of seconds she nodded and moved in the direction in which her patient disappeared. On the way there she encountered two of the security guards the SI employed for... well, situations like this one. "Officer Malley, Officer Dickins, would you please get these-" she pointed at the AUs, "-things out of my emergency room?"
The two young men nodded and she breathed out in relief for the second time that evening. She hated the things. They tried to make them as similar to people as possible, but the white hair, red eyes and white, artifically looking skin gave her the creeps. She considered the modest black police uniforms they wore a mockery to the normal human Police Officers. She liked the plain droids much better. They were robots and didn´t try to look like anything else.
She entered the examination room, Officer Brown following her quietly. Heero had already laid his Guide down on the examination table, took off his boots and jacket. She saw him threw the policeman a threatening look before returning back to the task of undressing his Guide.
"Okay, Heero," she said as she snapped the white gloves on her hands. "What happened?"
"We bonded," he said quietly, not meeting her surprised look.
"So the mixers helped, huh? They found you a Guide." She took her penlight and got on her work while Heero slowly pulled down the boy´s pants.
"No, I met him on the street."
That surprised her enough that she straightened. "Huh? On the street? When?"
"Tonight."
"How is it possible you didn´t meet him sooner? I mean you went to every meeting the Doctors scheduled, you met every Guide at the SI, so how is it possible that you didn´t meet him?"
It took him a while before he answered. "He is an Unregistered," he said unbuttoning his Guide´s shirt.
That would explain the whole mess in the emergency room and the black clad man standing unobtrusively in the corner of the room. She looked at Heero, her eyes narrowing. "Are you telling me that you bonded with an Unregistered, untrained Guide without Sentinel Doctors being there to oversee the whole thing? You could have killed him! He might still die because from what I can see he is in a deep empathic shock!" It was obvious she was angry.
Before he could answer two nurses rushed into the room and she started to bark orders to them. They had to ward off the shock and keep the Guide from falling into a coma. She just hoped that they weren´t too late.
During the whole examination, poking, proding, drawing blood and giving shots and infusion of this and that she kept throwing Heero furious glances. The young man moved out of their way but still kept close to his newly bonded Guide, not letting him out of his sight.
It was a small eternity before she called the orderlies to let them wheel her patient into the SI ICU. "Tag him with Maximum Risk," she ordered and turned to Heero who wanted to follow his Guide. "Not so fast, Heero!" She caught his sleeve. He looked down at her as if not comprehending what she wanted. A concerned thought pushed its way through her mind filled with anger. The unfocused look, the pale face... He looked as if he was on the verge of falling into shock himself. "I have to ask you a few questions." She took the forms one of the nurses thrusted into Heero´s hands during the examination. She looked over it, her eyes narrowing once again. It was empty, not one thing written in it.
When Heero tried to pull out of her grasp once again she tightened her hold. She knew that he could break the hold any time and that he didn´t do it showed her that he was still more or less there with her. She waved the empty sheets of paper in front of his face drawing his attention from where he was surely following his Guide with his senses. "Does that mean what I think it means? Do you want to tell me you don´t know anything about him?"
"He is mine," Heero answered, his voice tight. She met his eyes and noticed the challenge that entered the narrowed orbs.
"Nobody is questioning that. I´m just asking - does he have family? Does he have any sickness or allergies we should know off? And the main question - what´s his name? You didn´t fill even that. Do you actually asked before you tore through his mind? And try not to tell me that you didn´t use force. What I could see and read results, this couldn´t be a willing Bonding. His pathways are untrained but if he agreed to the Bond he would be at least partially open. But it looks like you shredded him to pieces." Heero looked away, his face paling even more, his teeth clenched. "Do you know what you could have done? You could have burn him out, just destroy him."
"I didn´t have a choice," he snapped at her finally, breaking her hold. He looked directly at her, then his eyes moved to the nervous looking policeman she had all but forgotten.
"What do you mean by that?" she asked. Obviously something was going on here that she didn´t know about.
"My Guide is an Unregistered. He stole food and the AUs followed him. They surrounded our car and he-" Heero pointed at the policeman, giving him a hateful look, "-wanted me to hand Duo over. They would have shipped him to the Mines if I hadn´t bonded with him, Sally. It´s true, he didn´t want to bond with me, but I didn´t want to let him rot in the Mines either. So I just choose the lesser of the two evils. I just hope he will forgive me one day," he added, his voice loosing the angry edge once again and filling with misery.
Sally sighed. She couldn´t blame Heero. She didn´t know what she would have done in his situation. From this the boy might recover - she prayed that he would otherwise they would loose him and the young Sentinel too - but there was no way out of the Mines. Who once disappeared down there never came back out again. She just hoped that the Guide would forgive his Sentinel for this decision.
She sighed again, suddenly feeling weary. "Heero, I understand why you did it. But as a doctor I can´t ignore what happened here. You bonded with an unwilling Guide. I will have to make a notice into your files and let the SSD deal with it. Regarding the circumstances I don´t think they will give you much grief, but I have to report it. Do you understand?"
Heero looked at her seriously for a long time. Then he nodded. "I understand, Sally. Do what you have to do."
She nodded solemnly. "Now go to him. Willingly bonded or not, it doesn´t matter now. He needs your proximity. His barriers are down and even though I gave him a shot to strengthen them I don´t think it´ll be of much help in his state. Try to talk to him, call him through the Bond. I know that you didn´t imprint him on your senses yet, so do so. It´ll support your Bond and maybe you will be successful in pulling him out of the shock. It´s waiting game now. You have to keep hope." She patted him on his shoulder and watched him walk out of the room.
She watched one of the nurses return and start to pick up the clothes Heero just threw on the ground when he had undressed his Guide. "Put his clothes and all the belongings you will find in a plastic bag and bring it to my office." She massaged her right shoulder. How could she have gotten so tired in such a short time.
"Doctor?" a voice sounded from behind her.
"What?" she asked, rolling her eyes.
Officer Brown stepped around her and held out the clipped together papers. "Could you sign these?"
She took the papers, scratching her signature on the dotted line confirming that Heero Yuy and the unknown Unregistered Guide bonded on the 20th September 200AC.

Hm, and that´s it so far.

Hm, and that´s it so far.
