Trigger Warnings: mention of minor panic attack, injuries, kinda sad  poem?

     Speedy sighed as she closed her laptop. She was watching the "Sanders Sides" videos again. 

     She got off her bed and walked over to where Ruby was drawing, "Hey Ruby."

     "Yeah Speedy?" Ruby asked, not looking up from his desk. 

     "Do you think we will ever meet this Virgil dude?"

     "I don't know. I haven't seen all the videos."

     "What?" She asked in disbelief. 

     He shrugged, "I don't really care for them."

     "You're just too busy drawing and staying neat."

     Ruby turned and rolled his eyes, "If you are done making fun of my hobbies, I need your opinion on a drawing."

     Speedy leaned over his chair and looked at the piece of watercolor paper Ruby was using. "What are those?"

     "They are logos! Y'know. Like how Janus has that two headed snake, Remus has a sword, Remy has a coffee cup, Patton has a heart, Logan has a brain, Emile had a notepad, and I'm pretty sure Roman has a shield."

Don't worry, you'll get a picture soon ;)

     "Oh yeah! But why are you making logos?"

     "Well I was thinking after we reveal our names to them all, we could change out looks a bit."

     "Oh! That seems fun! Can I help come up with outfit ideas?"

     "Of course," Ruby said. He pushed his rolling chair back a bit so that he could access all his art supplies. He pulled out what he needs for painting and a line art pen. 

     Speedy walked back over to her bed. "So do you have a name for yourself yet? I got mine."

     Ruby turned around, "Are you trying to flex on me by already having a name for yourself?"

     "Nooooo..." 

     Ruby shook his head and turned back around, "Anyways, I already have a name for myself."

     Speedy giggled, "Tell me!" 

     Ruby turned around to find Speedy right behind him. He shrieked and fell out of his chair. He groaned as he fell on his arm. Speedy started to freak out, "Oh I'm so sorry!"

     She helped him up and sat him on his bed. "It's fine. But I can't move my wrist," Ruby groaned as he leaned back onto the wall.

     "I'll go get ice!" Speedy said as she ran out of the room. She ran into the kitchen and ignored Emile's warning against running. She opened the fridge and groaned at the lack of an actual ice pack. She scanned the fridge one more time and grabbed a bag of a pea, corn, and carrot mix. 

     She ran back into her and Ruby's shared bedroom Unbeknownst to her, Emile followed.

     She placed the ice bag on Ruby's wrist, "There. You don't think you broke it do you?"

     Speedy went into a spiral of anxiety inducing thoughts. Soon enough, she had spiraled herself into a panic attack. Emile came over and started to calm her down, her panic attack was starting to panic Ruby. With a bit of time, Ruby and Emile got Speedy calmed down and asleep. 

     "What happened Ruby?"

     "She scared me out of my chair and I fell onto my wrist. It hurts and I can't move it well. But I think the adrenaline is still pumping twenty five thousand miles per hour."

     "Hey, let's call Logan and then we can get your wrist checked out," Emile suggested.

     Ruby started to whimper, the pain was kicking in, "Janus too?"

     Emile chuckled, "Janus too."

     Logan and Janus came within seconds. "What seems to be the matter?" Logan asked.

     "Ruby seems to have hurt his wrist. Could you look at it?" Emile asks sweetly.

     Logan nods and summons what he would need. He summons an actual ice pack and rag to replace the frozen pea bag and a small battery powered lamp to gain more light in the dim room. Janus knew that he was just there for moral support so he walked over and sat on Speedy's bed, waking her up. "Will Ruby be okay Jan?"

     "He'll be fine. We heal quickly in the mindscape, remember?"

     "Yeah... Do you want to listen to music?"

     Janus smiled. He remembered listening to music with his emo son. He missed it. The kids hadn't asked if he wanted to listen to music yet. He guessed it was because Virgil just needed someone to be with, not talk to, and that the twins always had each other. "I thought you would never ask."

     Speedy held out a wireless earbud and Janus took it with a smile. With Speedy's cat ears, she didn't have actual ears. So, Remus helped her create a set of headphones that would work with her ears and made it so that her phone would connect with the headphones and a pair of earbuds. 

     Janus smiled as music started through the headphones. The twins had a similar taste of music to Virgil. Although, Speedy's music had a bit more of musicals, heartbreaking songs, and ofcourse gaming songs while Ruby had more pop culture songs and a few songs just for jokes or to lift spirits. They both still had Virgil's taste for 'emo' music. Janus and Speedy nodded their heads to the beat of Break My Face by AJR while Logan and Emile took care of Ruby.

     Logan sighed as he finished examining Ruby's wrist, "It seems that you have just jammed your wrist. You won't need a cast or a sling, however you will need an immobilizer."

     Ruby chuckled a bit, "That doesn't sound fun." Emile chuckled off to the side.

     Logan sighed once more, "I assure you, you will be in no physical harm. An immobilizer is similar to a brace, it just keeps your wrist in a certain position in order for it to heal properly. It is adjustable for any discomfort or pain, although should be kept somewhat tightened."

     Logan summoned a black immobilizer and showed Ruby how to adjust it, take it off, and put it on, "If you could, refrain from getting it wet. If it does get wet, just let it air dry. You will take it off during showers, any swimming, and when you sleep. Come to me in two weeks to see if your wrist is healed."

     Ruby nodded along, "One question. What's the difference between an immobilizer and a brace?"

     "An immobilizer completely restricts movement in the joint. A brace usually has a bendable metal that allows the joint to move back and forth."

     Ruby nodded and Logan bid his farewells. He sunk back down to check on Thomas and to discuss the next video idea.

     Speedy paused her music, which just so happened to be Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths, and walked over to Ruby, "So what's the verdict?"

     "Just jammed. I'll be fine."

     "I'm sorry again."

     "It's fine. I promise. May have to wait to finish any drawing I was working on. And may have to stop writing poems for a bit..." Ruby narrowed his eyes in frustration.

     Janus laughed, "Welcome to the club." For some reason, the left brained sides tended to be right handed where as the right brained sides were left handed. Ruby was left handed while Speedy was right handed. 

     Emile smiled, "Can we look at your drawings and poems?" 

     "Oh uh- sure..."

     Ruby handed Emile a nearby sketchbook while Janus flipped through the first journal he saw. 

     Janus looked for a page to read. He flipped to the middle of the book and found a poem called "Listen Up."

"You are beautiful

You are loved

You are wanted

You are smart

You are perfect

You are going to be okay

You are the best

You are so amazing

You are so brave

You are trusted

You are so funny

You are going to do great"

If only she had listened

To herself

     Janus closed the journal slowly. It was a short and simple poem, but the message spoke volumes. However, Janus couldn't help but think that he had heard it somewhere before. Janus put the book back on it's shelf and smiled at Ruby. He'd look into it later.

     Emile smiled, "Hey! Let's go watch some cartoons!"

     "Can we also bake cookies?" Speedy asked hopefully. 

     "Yeah we can bake cookies."

Whoo- This was nice to write. Not many heavy things happened and it was just basic fluff with a hint of foreshadowing. I swear, I will get back to actual story building soon. I have a kinda solid plan now, it's just that the characters are doing whatever they want right now. Like Ruby wasn't supposed to hurt his wrist- Oh Well...

Did you like that poem? It was actually something I wrote. We had a poetry contest for school one time and I wrote so many poems- We were only supposed to write one, but when you get me on a task like that, I write until I run out of ideas- 

Bye~
