The woman continues to explain and as Melinda takes a proper look of the woman, there is a familiarity to her, and with what she is saying, it fits the time line.
“From the look of things, you have questions and I’m not done either. Get her cleaned, she can join us in the operation room.”
The doctor explains before entering the operation room. The nurse who had lead Melinda to the room, starts to help her and within a few minutes, Melinda enters the operation room herself. It was hard seeing Skye open on the table, but she can’t look away.
“When she first arrived, without any family or contacts, I was seriously thinking about a way to take her myself. Then we get news that an agent is on the way to pick up the scared girl and there you were, walking down the hallway looking ready to end anyone who looked at you in the wrong way.”
The doctor continues to explain once the doors closes behind Melinda.
“I didn’t know what I was going to see when entering that room, all my boss had told me was that I was here to pick up someone that was hurt. I thought it had been one of my coworkers. Seeing Skye for the first time, with the wounds, it chocked me.”
Melinda hears herself explaining and the doctor looks up at her for a few seconds when she says the name Skye.
“When she moved in with her siblings, they made sure to change her name to Skye. No one has been complaining about that.”
She explain and she is quite sure the doctor smiles under her mask.
“She has siblings?”
“Self appointed once. Two sisters and a brother, she also have a aunt who loved her very much and a whole group of godparents at the ready.”
Melinda informs, not sure mentioning the group is the Avengers is a good idea at the moment. Nor that two of Skye’s siblings are in fact part of the Avengers. When she thinks about, Skye has quite the protection net and she is worried how they will all react when they learn she has been hurt.
“I’m happy to hear that, even if I’m not happy to have her on the table.”
“How is she, Dr...”
Melinda starts to ask, only to realise she has no idea of what this woman’s name is.
“Wilma Johnson, most people just call me Willie. And to be honest with you, I’m not sure. What I need are equipment we don’t have here.”
The woman explains and Melinda nods her head, knowing fully well what she will have to do.
“If I can get hold of the equipment you need, do you think you can make her stable enough for one more move?”
At this Dr Johnson looks up, a bit of disbelief in her eyes.
“And how will you managed to pull that off?”
She asks and Melinda smiles, she likes this woman.
“It’s a good thing one of her sisters is the Deputy Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and one of her Godparents is the CEO of Stark Industries.”
Melinda explains and she sees how the doctors eyes grow large at the news.
“Yes, I can make her stable, but know this. No one else is to operate on her. I’m coming with, she’s my patient and nothing will change that.”
“Good, because I was going to bring you.”
Melinda explains, nods her head in a thanks before walking out of the operation room, pulling out her phone in the progress. She makes sure to take in a deep breath before she calls Maria.
