He turned on his heal, but tried to give a warm smile. "I'm not from your land." It was all he supplied, before walking back towards the car. He didn't care to give out his true identity. Especially one as notorious as the mad scientist: Victor Frankenstein. He didn't think that would settle well with people sending their ill and broken to him to be healed. They had to trust him.
Whale held onto the stack in his hands tighter. He didn't want the people to know. Especially when he was trying so hard to move on from that persona. Everyone was glad to be themselves again. But aside from able to finally keep it in his pants when he was around beautiful women, except Red of course, Dr. Whale had been a sanctuary compared to his real self. Whale walked away, hoping Jez would catch up to him when she was done speaking to the club owner.

Jez waved to Tim then went to catch up with Whale.
Ollie had told her about Whale, of course, knowing Robin really didn't care to begin with- and he mentioned Whale wasn't really.... proud of himself- in this world and especially his. But seeing it here in person.... damn her bleeding heart.
They climbed into the car," So.... we can hit a few more bus stops... or I think we're actually pretty close to the hospital if you want to go there..." She glanced over at him again," You know.... it's none of my business, and I could be completely be off the mark, but you don't have to beat yourself up over the things that happened. No one is a saint here, and honestly, you're a good person. Maybe you don't believe it, but it's true, and I'm apparently not the only one who sees it"

Ollie had TOLD her apparently... but the way Victor and Red shared things, it shouldn't have surprised the doctor that the piper had told his girlfriend. Victor planted his elbow against the window ledge. He had taken off his suit jacket and rolled up the sleeves to his lavender button-down shirt.
He listened to Jez in silence, looking in front of him, his blue eyes watching the pedestrians walking by. She didn't know the half of it. To get your brother killed, then to bring him back to life even though he suffered in such a state. Allowing his brother to kill their father... hell the last memory of home was of a noose being slipped around the doctor's neck by a mob, a priest thrusting a cross at his forehead, as they set fire to the lab... Gerhardt jumping out of a window... letting out an inhuman, animal cry of fear and rage...
Victor shut his eyes tight to banish the memory.
"...Thank you." He finally said in response. "The hospital is fine." He leaned back into his seat. Trying to think of Ruby... of Red... lovely and tender...

Robin gave a sigh, then got back on the road.
"Alright," Well, that was her trying, whatever demons he was battling he was going to battle on his own for better or for worse. And it wasn't her business, so just leave it alone.....
She wished Marian was here, not that it was really necessarily a good place for her to be, but she could at least lighten the mood. Hell, she was the embodiment of healing.

"Where's Marian when you need her?" He asked after there was no talking for a few minutes. "She's always so good at filling in awkward silences."

Jez chuckled a little at that,"She'd probably tell a knock-knock joke, I guess she found this website that has a ton of those and about every five minutes she busts one of those out"
She grinned at the notion, what was the one she told the other day...?
"Knock Knock"

Whale blinked.
"Uh... Who's there?" He asked. This seemed unlike the Jez from a few minutes ago. He grinned.

"Robin," She replied with a smirk.

"Robin Who?"

"I be Robin you," Jez snickered and mimicked a punchline drum on the steering wheel," Marian hasn't quite gotten the poker face aspect of telling jokes just yet, she was so red in the face by the punchline. I thought she might explode."

It was a terrible joke, but he chuckled when imagining Marian trying it out for the first time on her older sister. "She's a special girl." He said sincerely.

"Yeah...." She sighed, Marian certainly is. She wished she had seen her more when she was growing up, back in the old world, instead of using her like a carrier pigeon.
"I gues she's what you call an 'old soul', you know, if you believe in all that zen stuff..." She rolled her eyes," But it scares me how accurate that is when it comes to Marian.... You know, I've never seen her hold a grudge? Never- and with her.... past... I can't understand how." She shook her head," I don't know, I think I could take a page from her book... it's just that it's suppose to be the other way around"
Jez blinked," Wow. I'm so sorry, that was not suppose to.... you know what, never mind" Way more than he wanted to hear, she was sure. But it just sort of slipped out.

"No it's fine. Absolutely... fine." He tried to assure her. Another awkward silence. "I... don't mind hearing about it. It makes me feel like... I have more friends then I do..." He huffed, laughing weakly.
He finally sighed. "My father was abusive... though the society I grew up in would have called it 'a father teaching his son how to be a man'. My brother... was one of the few thing that made life bearable and I..." He stopped.
He looked out of his window. "He died because of me." He murmured, then smiled weakly. "It should have been the other way around, yes... but this is how it is..."

Jez bit her lip, that made SO much more sense. It's probably why Marian related so well to Dr Whale," I've thought stuff like that..... I mean, back in the day I'd wished some how Marian had escaped... run away somewhere she wouldn't be hurt... but I was afraid for myself. I used her to help with my own operations, thats why I never came home for her. I always said I would but I just, there was always something else"
"Had it been the other way around, she the elder sister and I the younger she would have come home for me... that's how it should have been. The truth is I'm much more self serving than I appear, I'm much more like my Uncle than I want to admit... I just... I don't know how to change or what to do with this realization"
She shook her head," If your brother is anything like my sister, he would have wanted you to move on. It's just easier said than done.... I'm sorry for your loss"

Victor's jaw clenched. He resisted the urge of correcting her... that Gerhardt had been brought back...that Victor had condemned the person that he loved most in the world to THAT kind of existence.
But he was afraid to. Afraid of what Jez would say to that.
"Oh, just pull into the staff parking, I have a parking pass." He abruptly said, pointing at the parking area at the hospital.
