The usual AN can be found at the bottom of the chapter, and enjoy!
Skylar: So, that was it?
Kaz: Yeah, that was it! Finally!
Kaz stood up, relieved. Next to him, Skylar gave him a smile. He – no, they – had told the entire story of what happened roughly six months ago. Oliver was still in the hospital. Kaz might not have mentioned it, but Oliver was hurt pretty badly and some fractures needed a lot of time to heal, but Kaz had heard from Horace Oliver could leave the hospital any time now.
Too bad he wouldn't be able to remember the Mighty Med. During his visits, he and Skylar had been giving Oliver hints about the hospital, and if he remembered he'd get the hints. But he kept telling them to stop acting weird, so there is a big chance Oliver has to find out when Kaz was slowly walking when Oliver would be stalking him because he was curious about where Kaz works each day. Yet, that was just his fantasy and he couldn't be sure it was going to be that way.
"I'm glad to have said that!" Kaz said, having a smile on his face.
"Shall we watch it?" Skylar asked, looking at the camera. They had recorded the whole story. They heard from Horace it was good to tell someone you didn't know about your problems because you'd be relieved when you did. But since Kaz didn't want a stranger to think he's weird, he grabbed a camera and just told it to the person who would watch the video. Skylar helped out to 'fill in the blanks', to tell about the pieces where he wasn't there and to tell from an objective point of view, as far as you could call her an objective person.
"Sure," she said, and they re-watched part of it. Eventually, Kaz just pressed 'stop' and turned to Skylar, about to say what he thought about it.
"I think I'm not going to watch that ever again." He concluded, and Skylar nodded.
"Me neither. Experiencing it was bad enough." Kaz nodded when he had heard her comment.
"Should we delete it?" Kaz said, and Skylar agreed to do that. So, quickly, Kaz deleted the video, being glad he has finally said it out loud and having 'deleted' that experience from his life, although the consequences would still be present. Skylar too had a hard time coping with the consequences, but she got over them. She and Oliver visited Oliver daily, but she even more and eventually she had admitted her feelings towards Oliver and he told her he was secretly having a crush on her, and so they had become a couple, often teased by Kaz and Jordan. Oliver still hadn't heard from Gus, who still was at an unknown location. Yes, his training was completed, but the other three months he had spent to travel around without Brain Matter, who had brought him home, but Gus had had other plans.
Speaking about that weird little fellow, the screensaver of Kaz's laptop suddenly disappeared and instead, Gus appeared on the screen. Kaz wasn't as afraid of it as when Gus had did it the first time, but it still scared him when Gus did that. Kaz sighed with a smile and walked over to his laptop.
"Gus, when will you stop doing that?" Kaz asked Gus.
"The day I die!" always was his response. Skylar had left to get herself a drink and would bring something along for Kaz if she was in the mood. Gus shrugged, and Kaz smiled at him.
"So, how's it going?"
"I'm fine! I'm about to visit an old friend of me," the weird boy announced, and Kaz nodded.
"Cool! Who is it?" he wanted to know, and he saw how Gus pretended to think about it while moving on and doing something with his finger behind his phone or iPod or whatever he possessed. Eventually, he had decided it was enough and he gave Kaz his answer, by pressing something. At that same moment, the door at the puzzle entrance opened and when Kaz looked up, he saw his awkward little friend, spreading his arms, shouting 'surprise' throughout the lobby.
Kaz, positively surprised, ran over to his friend and gave him a hug. It felt great to see his friend again, and he knew Gus felt the same. When they broke up the hug, they still wore big smiles.
"Do you like the surprise?" Gus asked, and Kaz nodded.
"Off course I do! You're staying, right?" he quickly asked, not being sure if he had to miss his half-Normo friend for another six-month period. Gus grinned and shook his head.
"Nope! I've seen what I wanted to see, so I'm just coming back to school." The only words crossing Kaz's mind were: This is great! Now Gus was back, which would give him a lot of positive attention since Brain Matter made up the lie he won a prize and could travel around the world in six or three months. People were curious about what exactly he had seen during his trip, but it would be even harder to catch up with the classes. It was now mid-October and had to catch up with a lot of stuff, but even if his results would be bad, Kaz knew the guy wouldn't hesitate to change an F into a D. on the other hand, there would be a lot of people who would help him get used to his previous life style.
When they were talking, the one person who wouldn't help Gus entered the Mighty Med. The two boys turned around and saw Jordan walking in. Gus immediately walked over to her and caught her – by surprise, might I add – in an embrace. She wasn't prepared and immediately tried to get him off of her.
"Gus!?" she exclaimed, "You're back? How long?" she asked. She visited the Med every day, to help Kaz with his work, but she wasn't getting paid – yet. Horace wasn't aware of the fact Jordan had picked up where Oliver had left, and the Normo duo at the hospital now consisted of Kaz and Jordan, who had discovered she could indeed help the heroes because they weren't Normos – if they were, she wouldn't have come back at all for we all know she doesn't like to help people.
"I've been back just now," Gus announced calmly while letting go of her, "And guess what? I'm staying here now!" Jordan sighed.
"Whatever. I'm at the cafeteria." If anybody asked, she was getting a drink, but in fact she was going to see some heroes and help them. She'd take care of the more violent heroes while Kaz would try to help the people who weren't as violent or dark as the Dark Warrior. Gus watched her leave, and then turned back to Kaz.
"Did she miss me?" he asked, for she was never present when he contacted Kaz, and Kaz nodded.
"She might say no, but she really did!"
"Okay," Gus nodded, accepting that answer, "So, what else did I miss?" Kaz gave him the biggest smile of that afternoon, and put his arm around his friend's shoulder, walking around the Mighty Med while explaining what he had missed, starting with the words "Where should I begin?"
Skylar came back from the cafeteria and entered the lobby just as Gus and Kaz had left. She indeed had brought Kaz a drink, since everything was kind of free for the Normos to use, Skylar included. She put the drinks on the desks at the same time the little Diaz came back from school.
He had had the misfortune of missing the bus and having to walk all the way to the hospital. And because he was completely in the open, he had to carry his backpack instead of just levitating it and making it lighter for him. In one of his hands, he had a science test in his hands, with an F as his score. Skylar noticed, for they both were in the same science class.
"Hey Alan!" she greeted him, "Did you miss the bus again?"
"Off course I did," he almost shouted of fatigue, "How else would you explain I'm late?" he snarled, and Skylar had already taken interest in his test paper. She was taken aback when she had seen that grade – she had at least expected Alan to have a D.
"How come you failed?" she asked, and Alan sighed.
"Apparently moving objects through use of levitation isn't accepted as an answer," he explained, and Skylar looked at all the answers. He either didn't remember the right formula, or he had used something from the hero world to explain something. Skylar sighed.
"Come on," she said, "I'll help you correct it." Alan didn't move and neither did Skylar. Alan glared daggers at her while she patiently waited for him to follow her so he could correct his test. Eventually Alan gave in, sighing.
"Fine! Let's go!" Alan went ahead, going into the rec room. Skylar followed him, with his test paper, and at the same time Gus and Kaz walked back into the lobby.
"And that's, in short, everything you missed," Kaz finished his long explanation. Gus looked at him, shrugging.
"That isn't too much, but still a lot." He concluded, and Kaz nodded.
"You could say it that way," he looked at his watch, "Oh, I'm visiting Oliver right now! Do you want to come along?" Kaz invited his friend over. He could practically see how Gus got ten times happier after that certain question and Kaz had to smile again. He didn't need to hear a verbal answer to know Gus really wanted to see Oliver again. Gus nodded.
"Okay, he's in room 315. You go ahead, I'll be right behind you." Gus practically ran through the door as Kaz put out his white coat, revealing today's clothing. Before leaving the Mighty Med, he looked around once more, putting everything on a row.
This is the best life I could have ever wished for, he told himself with a smile before trying to catch up with Gus. Sure, Oliver was in the hospital with amnesia and Jordan wasn't too nice and Alan was a pain in the ass at school and Skylar simply became a little timid and Gus was still weird, but they were all a family. They were one big happy family; all of them part of one extraordinary tale. And Kaz was able to realize this.
This is the good life.
Now and for always.
The End
So, that's it, I guess. This is - was - my first addition to the Mighty Med archive. I am really glad the way this turned out, and I hope you liked it as well even though (I think) we all wished Oliver wasn't left with amnesia. And yes, this is the final chapter, so this has a rather open ending. Before I really close off, there are two things I'd like to discuss with you:
1) I'd like to thank everyone who has read this story, because I didn't think it would catch on (since most stories' theme here is Skoliver) and I want to thank you for your support, also. These are the names of the users of whom I know followed, favorited, reviewed and read the story: Adeo1234, BTRlover1122, GoldDragonNinja, Rabbit Paols, eldewulf, littlemisschatterbox13, 8thgradecowgirl, LittleMissFanGirl14, Rocksoroll, Spades231, Spades23, Wolfblood2o12 & Theminergirlcraft! you're all amazing, and a final thanks for doing as said before!
2) I will be adding more stories. Right now, I am working on two Mighty Med story ideas. One of them is Kaz-centric (told in first person) and has a lot of fantasy in it, and the other will be about just the superheroes that have appeared and were named in the series. That's all I got right now, but when I have finished one idea, you will find the story here!
And, that was it! The end of the Inevitable!
I hope you enjoyed!
