Raine's Anatomy

Disclaimer: I don't own Grey's Anatomy, Trauma Center series, and ToS. But anyways…

A/N: It has been a while since I have written. I simply had to start writing this again. I have all the ideas I want, too! I also updated my profile, and didn't delete any of it yet. It should be warning me any day that it will sue me for using so much space. But it's time for me to get into it now.

Procedure 10: Come To Terms

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\Raine's Anatomy/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Every time I looked back, there was always something to haunt me.

Every time I looked forward, I had to fight my hardest to break through.

Every time I stood still for a second,

When my heart stood still…

I analyzed it. Picked it apart until there was nothing left.

The people in this world are like the ones in mine.

Some have hope, others not.

Some have dreams., some do not.

Some are straight, others are not.

Then, lastly, there are some who fear things.

Operations, relationships, it's like my life is a novel.

So I will be patient. I will wait this to the end.

"So you'll do it? You'll have the operation?" Rubyi pounded Cennery's knees with enthusiastic anticipation.

"I trust Dr. Sage. She can do this, right?" Cennery put his hand down on a counter next to him.

"Yeah! Raine's so great!"

"Don't you think it's a bit odd you call your boss by her first name?"

"Actually, she's kind of an old friend. I always refer to her that way. You don't think it's tacky."

"Well, I'm not telling you to stop, am I?"

"I suppose not. But since I have your consent, I'll go get Raine. She should be off being frustrated somewhere."

Cennery let out a small laugh, ad then called after Rubyi, "Wait a minute."

Rubyi stopped on one heel and leaned backwards, giving a sideways look to Cennery, "Yeah? I can't hold this position forever. I'm in scrubs!"

"I suppose it doesn't really matter. Go on. Get Raine."

"Okay, then!" Rubyi took off from her position and went to find Raine.

'Kinda odd…' Rubyi thought, 'But maybe that's just his way.'

'His way?' she asked herself as she strode on, 'Nobody does that, Rubyi. Stopping somebody then not saying anything isn't a trait.'

'Although maybe I'm being to paranoid about it.' she replied to herself, 'He looked sort of scared for the operation, but I think I calmed him from that at least…'

She reached Raine, who looked up from a clipboard acquired from storming off and checking on other patients.

"So he'll be okay." Rubyi said, still thinking she was mentally speaking.

"What?" Raine gave Rubyi a quizzical look.

"I mean, yeah, yeah. Yes. So, when are you going to operate on Cennery?"

"He gave you his consent?"

"Well you know, I can be invaluable at times like this. You know, I'm not cold like some people…" Rubyi gave a look to Northe as she passed by, "I'm not that shy…" Glance to Eglise. "I'm not a complete pompous…" Look to Oce. "And I know what I'm doing. You should operate right away, so let's being him to the OR as fast as we can."

Raine nodded, and so the two went off.

"So we have consent and Miss Redan will be operated on."

"It was the least you could do to pay for the operation." Northe said, lifting her hand up in the air as if holding some invisible string. She and the lawyer were both out of the room, while the attending discussed the operation and let the patient know what was going on.

"You know, he did feel horrible."

"Hm? Oh, you mean that Zeut person?" Northe seemed a bit unfocused, whishing her string this way and that.

"This is the time where pop rock and guitars are at their finest! It's the age of all sorts of music!"

"I suppose I should pay more attention, then."

The legal-man sighed heavily. It was between an aggravated grunt and some other things, "Anyways, he wanted to apologize in person, but…"

"You didn't let him? If he wanted to come in personally, you should of let him apologize!"

"I told her he gives his regards."

"Oh, any moron can give regards! It's a whole different thing to come in person! People are on their deathbeds here! People fly all around the world to see their loved ones, possibly for the last time! You can't even let him in for a single visit?!"

"He has a tight schedule."

"Not tight enough to see the girl he hit in the face. With his guitar, no less."

"Would you like to be the lawyer?"

"Certainly. I'd do a lot better than you could. Do you want to the doctor? Wit and words are petty in the ER; I'd like to see you try."

That shut him up. Northe smiled. Wit, words, magnificent suturing (if I do say so myself), and an unbreakable will. You can't win against me.

"You will let him see her--no actually, you will make him see her--to apologize. Good luck."

Reef suddenly came out of the room.

"Northe, we'll be putting her under soon. Would you follow me to the OR?"

"Yes, of course, Dr. Corel."

She strode off, triumphancy in her will and victory in her grasp.

"Um, Dr. Robinson." Eglise shifted nervously.

"Yes, Eglise?"

"What kind of operating will we be performing today, exactly?"

"Full-on skin transplant to the lower legs, 25 to the upper. We also will be doing other minor things, restoring capillaries as you previously stated, and there is a variety of other small things we will be doing."

"O-Okay."

"Burn victims…you seem to take a lot of the operation, Eglise. It's better for a doctor to be more well-rounded in her studies."

"…I…In the Psych ward, I confronted many patients about this. It's something I do. That's all."

"The next time a burn victim comes up, you will find another surgery. I cannot have all you interns doing one sort of thing. We're the melting pot of the world, I expect you to be the same."

"Yes, Dr. Robinson."

'Driving me away from the ones who need help the most; who does he think he is? It's true, I do take an uncanny amount of burn victims. But still…'

She sighed, looking up at the clock.

5 minutes until operation…

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\Raine's Anatomy/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

"Okay, he's under." Rubyi checked. Cennery had a content look on his face. Rubyi smiled. It seemed like it took forever to convince him to be operated upon.

Raine took up a scalpel in her hand, "It's normal to see this low of an oxygen level in the arteries with this disease, but prepare to resuscitate if need be. He had a lot of phlegm before we operated; this is definitely what we thought it was. We'll need to perform a bronchoscopy to see…"

"The cysts?" Rubyi asked.

"Very good, Ms. Redjewel." Raine nodded, "Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia has characteristic cysts, which we'll need to eliminate. First however, we must dye the area with olivine blue, as these cysts will be hard to see without it. After taking care of this area, we'll move onto to the rest of the operation, applying trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole at the kidneys. These antibiotics will take care of pretty much everything, and then we just need to check for any abnormalities."

"Are you ready to do this?" Rubyi whispered, barely moving her mouth at all, "You just seemed to have arrived here…and I want Cennery to be alright."

"I am sure. I've studied up on operations and such, now it's time to perform." Raine silently stated back. She cleared her throat.

"I'm making my incision in the chest…" Raine dragged her scalpel down Cennery's muscular torso.

"There's his lungs." one nurse said, "And here's the bronchoscope and dye for the cysts…"

She handed a small instrument and a vial of deep azure liquid to Raine. The Professor motioned to her intern, "Rubyi, I'll need you to dye the area and then I will take care of the cysts. First I'll use anti-inflammatory, slightly mixed with our antibodies, and excise. Some smaller cysts may go away, which means they've healed and will not hinder us again."

Rubyi nodded and lightly pressed the vial. Blue liquid spread out. Not many inflammations were present. There was one big one, which needed to be excised, but the others were very small in size, easy to get rid of. Raine readied a needle and injected it into the large cyst..

"Not improving…" she mumbled, "I'll need to excise it right away." She switched the needle with her scalpel on the fly, and began to cut around the inflammation. Once it was loose enough, Raine had her forceps in her hand instantly. She took the cyst out carefully, placing it onto a tray. Rubyi, subconsciously knowing what to do, had finished injecting the rest of the cysts, of which whom submitted to the antigens and shrunk. Raine meanwhile, had finished draining the blood and other liquid the large cyst had left behind, and applied a synthetic membrane to the area. She applied a gel that would help heal tissue, quickly, checked her area and breathed a sigh of relief. She sutured her incision and moved down to his lower body.

His kidneys. This was the main spot. Concentrate…

"Hey." Rubyi pointed to a spot on his skin, "This is discolored…Raine, I think you should make your incision here."

The white-haired woman nodded and made her second incision. She gasped at what she found.

"There's blood everywhere in here. Rubyi, thank you for telling me this. He must have had an aneurysm the MRI didn't pick up…this is serious. I can't let this spread. Get me the drain."

Once acquiring her object, Raine used the drain to remove the blood. It stayed content for a minute, but did not stay this way. More blood came out. Raine drained it away.

"But where is it coming from…?" Raine searched the area. She couldn't let the blood keep flowing out like this, "There it is."

She saw a capillary, which had been split in the center. Raine lifted one end to the other and sutured the two together once she had applied the solution that helped heal tissue.

"That should be alright…" Raine began to apply the antibodies in the kidneys. Everything was going smoothly. She looked at the small tubes in his kidneys, nephrons, to see if they remained stable. They were, until one burst, and all the others followed.

"My Go--" Rubyi was cut off.

"No! This isn't right. A clot?!"

In times like this…

'I have to find a way to save him…I can't get to all these places in time…' Raine now had prespiration running down her face.

'I have to…'

'If I just minimize my effect, I might be able to suture those wounds and fight off whatever disease there is…'

'Holy Lance!'

Raine lifted her scalpel up, her focus for magic energy in this situation. She watched as a soft glow crossed her area, and almost robotically, sutured the nephrons and applied the rest of the medicine. Rubyi looked at Cennery, as a small whisper traveled throughout the nurses.

"Condition is stable…" Rubyi said, "No sign of it now…"

Raine's eyes darted around. Why was everyone so shifty all of a sudden. She sutured up her incision and made sure her patient was all right. Everything checked out.

"We'll just wheel him off to his room now and check on him overnight and such." a nurse said, "You and Rubyi did such a good job, we'll just do it for you…"

Raine took off her scrubs and removed her gloves and other equipment. Rubyi did the same, and both walked out with an air of confidence mixed with worry.

"What happened in there, Raine? I saw a small glow…you didn't use magic?"

"I didn't mean to. He needed to be saved; it may have subconsciously went off…my thoughts were racing. I had to save him."

"I don't think anyone else noticed…your speed seemed to be enhanced, too…I…it was amazing to watch."

"Yes…" Raine felt a twinge of vertigo, and sat down.

"Are you okay?"

"It seems using magic here isn't the best idea…this planet's brimming with it, but it must have no been used in a long time…I may have offset a balance, which could spread to the caster. It's nothing serious, I feel a little exhausted, however…"

"Do you need anything?"

"No, let's just check on Cennery when he awakes."

An hour passed. Raine spent her time pacing, wondering if her mana had done the reverse effect. Had it killed him? Did magic here have some disgusting effect? Was he dead? Was it her fault? These were thoughts that flooded her mind and she walked, until Rubyi stopped her.

"I just got a report on him. He's awake, and he wants to see you."

Raine nodded and went off to the room, trailed by her red-haired friend. Cennery had a look on his face that was…indescribable. His expression was unreadable. He began to cry. Rubyi went to his side.

"What is it?"

"My AIDS…"

"Yes? They haven't gotten worse or anything?"

Raine's nervousness swelled inside her like a hot-air balloon. Did she…?

Cennery cleared his throat and moved his tears. Rubyi's worry increased.

"It's cured. It's not here anymore. It's gone."

He went over and embraced Raine, "Thank you. Thank you so much…"

Rubyi leaned and both of them and began to tear up as well, "But…how do you know? We haven't done another MRI or anything…"

"You'd just know…it's like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders."

"Raine…"

The Professor got up from the two. Unbearing. Unbelievable. Unknowing.

And so she ran.

Rubyi: Next on Raine's Anatomy:

"You cured it, but magic only goes so far…and you could collapse. I'm telling you this Raine--don't use it again. You could kill yourself trying to save someone else."

Rubyi's eyes were dead serious. Raine straightened herself up, "I have to see the Chief of Staff. People will be raving about this, but…"

A/N: Raine uses magic for the first time, but it will come at a price. We'll see what happens, and what's going on with everyone else, as well.
