Lily II

"You sure about this Lily?" Doctor Pete asked Lily who sat across him, they where in his office. Between them was a table with a desktop on it and some neatly arranged files. Beside the files laid a stethoscope and a blood pressure cuff.

The room was well-lit, with diagrams and chart of organs displayed on the walls. Not far off from them was a dark blue sofa with a small stool in front.

In front of each of them was a hot cup of coffee. Lily picked up her cup, blew it off and took a sip "Mmmm, I never knew hospital coffee was this good Pete" she said with a look of satisfaction "you should have told me much sooner so I'd pay you a visit more often" she teased.

Pete was a middle aged doctor, his beard was well groomed with beautiful gray eyes. His hair was neatly combed back which added to his polished and organized look.

He had a frown on his face as he looked at Lily "This is not the time to joke around Lily." he snapped "You know just as much about that kid as he does of himself" Pete added.

Lily raised a brow at him, "Which is?" she asked.

"NOTHING!" Pete yelled out in frustration "Name, year, address nothing Lily, zilch, and you still want to take him?" Pete asked in disbelief.

Lily shrugged and replied "Yes, he looks cute, and he reminds me of him" as Lily spoke she looked past the doctor, her mind trailing off.

Pete let out a chuckle, "There's no data on him Lily, what if something happens?" Pete questioned her "You said you found him beaten up, care to wonder why? What if he..." Pete began but Lily cut him off

"He's just a kid Pete" Lily snapped as she dropped her cup of coffee.

"Kids can be terrorists too ya' know" Pete retorted and Lily rolled her eyes in response.

"My gut doesn't say so" Lily replied as she stared at him.

"Your gut is for digestion woman, you have to-"

"Enough of this Pete" Lily whined as she cut him off, "Will you do it or not?" she asked bluntly

Pete let out a sigh as he looked at her "What if his parents come looking for him?" Pete asked in an exhausted tone.

"Then i'd take care of it" Lily replied with a smile but that didn't seem to rest well with Pete as he shot her a glare.

"Take care of it?" he asked rhetorically, "I know how you take care of things Lily" he added as he glared at her.

They eyed each other for sometime before Pete shook his head and faced his computer "Fine" he let out with a defeated sigh "I'll help, but call me if anything comes up, and if the boys parents come for him-" Pete paused and looked at her "give them back their child please" Pete cautioned.

Lily's smile widened as she stood up "Mhm" she replied with a nod "Thanks Pete, I'll take him and-"

Before she could complete her sentence he cut her off "He isn't discharged yet, wherever you take him, you have to come back here and sign some necessary papers before you leave with the kid" Pete warned.

"Noted" Lily answered as she walked out of the room leaving the doctor to himself.

The moment the Lily shut the door Pete let out a sigh and picked up 935's file.

He read through the file, signs of burns and bruising, patient has been diagnosed with amnesia, 7 years old, black male, height read 3ft 8 inches, "Tsk, he's a bit small for his age, if you ask me" Pete commented "I see the exact day of birth will be an issue with what Lily wants" Pete said to himself as he stroked his beard "I guess i'll ask her for a day to put" he said out to no one in particular.

He continued to read on, from his blood group to his genotype" O and AA. No form of identity, nor medical record."

Pete analysed the data they had on him carefully before he dropped the paper and looked at his computer.

.....

Meanwhile 935 sat quietly on the bed as he looked at his arms, "They are not healing" 935 thought to himself.

"Your insides need to heal first" Entity responded. "You need to eat to quicken your healing" Entity added and 935 nodded in response.

The door opened and 935 turned to face it, Lily walked in with a smile on her face "Hi warrior" she greeted as she walked up to him. She sat next to him and he shifted away from her.

Lily chuckled at his reaction, she looked at him and asked "Hey, are you hungry?"

Without opened his mouth to respond but his stomach beat him to it.

*WWWRRRRRWWWRR*

Both 935 and Lily looked down at his stomach. 935 looked up to see Lily still staring, he quickly wrapped his arms around his abdomen and faced away from her gaze.

Lily smiled and stood from the bed "Let's go eat then" she said as she scooped him up from the bed and rushed out the door.

Her action took 935 by surprise as he clung tightly to her clothes to stop himself from falling, his heart raced in his chest as she hurriedly walked out of the room.

Lily carried him outside, in his hospital attire. She walked up to a red car and opened the front passenger seat. Gently she sat him on the seat and fastened his seatbelt before she shut his door and entered the driver's seat.

She sighed as she eased herself on the seat "Okay!" she exclaimed, she turned to see him staring at her wide eyed and she smiled in return, "You must be cold" she said as she started the car and put on the heaters "This should warm you up before we hit the diner" she added before she zoomed off in the car.

935 watched with wide eyes as the snowy plains and trees passed them by, he pulled at the seat belt as he tried to break free of it.

Lily watched him from the corner of her eyes "Let me" she said as she slowed the car down a bit, she reached for his seat belt and removed it. 935 knelt on the car seat as he looked out the window.

He saw people walking around and cars pass them by. "Do you not get out much?" Lily asked but 935 was far too engrossed in the world outside the car to have heard her.

After a couple of minutes, she stopped the car, 935 turned to see her walk out of the car and walk over to his door. He moved back a little and the moment she opened the door, a cold gust of wind invaded his space and he quickly wrapped his hand around himself.

"Oh I'm sorry" Lily said in a soft tone as she removed her coat and put it around him "There you go bud" she said before she carried him out of the car and shut the door.

935 looked around him, everything was covered in snow, not far of he see a squirrel run past a tree, immediately he struggles in Lily's arms till she lets him go.

"Hey!" Lily exclaimed, 935 runs after the squirrel and Lily follows him "Where are you?" she called out only to see him crouched under a tree, she quietly walks up to him.

Lily reaches for him and ask "Hey what are you doin-" she paused mid sentence as she see him about to swallow a squirrel whole.
