"What?!" Xavier shouted, forgetting all about the whole banner thing for now. He dashed toward the door to the bar, seeing a man on the floor, another man who looked like he was wobbling on his feet a little, An unconscious Kitty, and Brittany, who was on her knees and sobbing.
Being a doctor, he had little means to properly defend himself. He didn't carry around a six-shooter, or any sort of weapon for that matter. He had to think fast... Immediatly he undid his pony tail, letting his dark curly long hair fall around his neck and head, and put his glasses in his pocket.
"HOLD IT! NEXT PILE OF COW HEAP MOVES THEY GET THEIR HEAD BLOWN RIGHT OFF!!!" he shouted at the top of his lungs, glaring around with an evil eye.
"Which one of you sorry mongrels is the one who was hurtin' my girl? I bin itchin' fer a fella to pick a fight with ALL day, an' I aim to cut this one to ribbons." he snarled with a wicked grin across his face. His gaze rested on the burly looking beardless moron wobbling on his feet, looking at the attraction with a stupid snerk.
"I take it you're the son of a mule who decided to sign his own death wish... Tell you what son, Seeing as how I prefer a little sport, you got fifteen seconds to high tail it before my friends arrive with the big guns... Or if'n you'd like you can tangle with me until they arrive, and then they shoot us both to kingdom come?" the doctor lifted his gaze, grinning madly at the man, one eye glimmering in the sunlight though the jungle of wild black hair.
"Or you could make the smart move and get yer sorry behind out of dodge before I get yer name and me an' my boys come huntin' fer your head'n family... Now make yer move..."
Xavier's wicked grin turned into a sinister laugh as his shoulders quaked. He had to have everything perfect.. because if this hippopotamous didn't buy the bluff he would have a tough time from this point on...

Kris pointed his magnum at the back of the mans head. "Listen to the doctor 'sir'." He muttered arrogantly into his ear.
(ack, I was off for 2 days and the site lives again...)

((err just a note zephy Kitty is unconcious and Brittany is the one sobbing all over the place.))
Gampa questly entered after the doctor and slowly made his way over to Brittany and Kitty all the while glaring at the stupid drunk man that was now more or less under control with three men on him. He just hoped that none of the other men decided to join the fight. Brittany had crawled her way over to her best friend and was hugging her close and telling her to wake up and not to die.
Gampa carefully gathered 'his girls' into a protective little hug and kept an eye open for any sudden hostile movements.

The man looked at the doctor with an absolutely terrible glare, but he did not have much choice whether to stay or go.... seeing as there was a gun to his head. He looked at the unconcious Kitty in Gampa and Brittany's arms. His bloodshot eyes glinted once, then he looked at the curly-haired "madman" who was threatening him. "She's yer gal, eh? I gather you keep her occupied..." He pointed one beefy, filthy finger at the doctor. "Let it be known, mister, that she deserved everything that I done to her... she started the whole thang." His blurry eyes glinted again. "Besides, I think that she might have enjoyed it somewhat." He decided to not push his luck much further, so he laughed drunkenly and wobbled unsteadily out of the tavern, singing insulting remarks about Kitty the whole while.
Kitty could feel someone holding her... someone was talking to her... telling her not to die. She wished she could... at least she could breathe again... She winced and groaned. She probably would have screamed if she was able to, for the pain was so potenet every time she was moved. Her chest hurt... no... her ribs... She slipped into unconciousness again.

"Should I kill him?" Kris asked, most seriously.

"No... With any luck he'll get hit by a runaway stagecoach, or try to ride off on a horse in his state.. Nature takes care of it's own..." Xavier replied, replacing his glasses and binding his hair back up in a pony tail. He immediatly readopted his stalwart upright self, and quickly made his way over to the fallen waitress. He looked at her body for a moment, checking for signs of spinal damage, head trauma, broken bones, etc. He frowned as the bones on her ribcage gave way when he pushed on them. "Help me get her to my office. I can treat her properly there." he said, turning to the spectators and rising to his feet. "Mind her ribs, she's broken a few." People were still looking at him funny for that weird performance, and he blushingly looked back at the girl. "Now..please.." he mildly ordered.

Kris smiled, Xavier had compassion towards a man who so obviously deserved death. Compassion was one of those characteristics Kris never really came across in his travels. And one he certainly did not share for this man. He chased after the man, knowing full well that someone in that condition would most likely come back and harm another person. As the man got on his horse, Kris got on his own.

(( Oh man, I need drop in here more often, too much happened lol))
After the awkward display of deception by the Doc, and the fatal threat of a gun to the head from a certain individual, Jake watched the drunk man leave the bar, and then quickly turned his attention to the wounded young lady, he looked at her face for a moment. He'd seen her around town before but never introduced himself. Jake was just about to check her for serious injury but was pushed back by the Doc. Jake didn't think about the fact that a Doctor was present. Jake observed the Doctor doing his work and then quickly gave aid to carry out the Docs' orders and picked up the young woman as gently as possible to avoid further injury. He then walked carefully to the Doctor's office.

Sucking in a sharp breath Brittany stood up and walked with the men to the doctors office. She fussed about Kitty, pretty much just getting in the way as a good friend would do. Questions like: "Is she gonna be alright? She wont die will she? Will we make it to the office in time? Are you really sweet on her Doctor?" and the like spewed from her mouth at 120 miles a minute.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gampa stood up and cleared his throat. "Now I dont want no more rough housin' in this here saloon so you keep it peaceful or I'll call the sherif down here and have y'all locked up fer the night." With that he went into the kitchen to do some worrying of his own, in private.

Xavier abided with many of Brittany's questions, telling her "Kitty will be fine once we got her there," and that "she's lucky the ribs haven't punctured a lung," until the question hit him.
"Heh, no, that was simply an act to try and scare that oaf. Oh. and don't tell her I said she was my girl, she'll tease me endlessly about it if she finds out," he said with a smile. It was an attempt to lighten the mood and ease Britanny's worry.
"Thanks for taking her sir," Xavier said to Jake as they neared the door to his place. He unlocked the door and opened it for them. "I don't think I could have gotten her here on my own.. what's your name?" Xavier asked Jake, again trying to lighten their moods a little. He pointed to a wood-lined room. A cushioned chair, a small couch, and a metal-topped table stood in this room, among a sea of medical equipment and tools. "Place her there." he instructed, pointing to said metal table.

"It's my pleasure." Jake answered humbly. Jake waited a moment to answer the Doc's question and laid Kitty down on the metal table. "My name is Jake Gibson, sir..." Jake said with the courtesy of a nod. Jake looked at the girl with obvious concern for her well being. He then turned to the Doc. "What can I do?"

Brittany looked relived at the answers but let out a little sigh and a "dangit" at his last answer. She too then turned to Jake. "Oh yes, thank you so much fer helpin' us. I dont know what I'd do if Kitty here died. Dont know what Gampa'd do neither." Then an idea struck her. "OH! If you need a place ta stay I'm sure Gampa will be happy to let-cha have a room after all you've done fer us."

"That's Kind of you, but I have a place in this town," replied Xavier with a sweeping hand motion to this building.
"Mr. Gibson could you bring over that tank?" he asked, pointing to a metal container with a gas valve on it. "I'm going to need to perform Surgery to set her ribs. I'll need everyone else out afterwards, this place has to be as sterile as possible," Xavier explained.

"SURGERY!?" Brittany screeched in horror. "Couldn't you just bleed her or somin'? and...and if you stay at our place you can keep a good watch over her, unless you mean to keep her here?"

Jake answered Britney, "I am flattered with your offer. But I will be fine, I have a house not too far out of town."
Jake heard, and carried out the doctors' orders, and brought over the tank he asked for. "There you go doc." Jake said as confirmation of the task being finished.
"I'm sure the doctor knows what he's doing miss. And I do not think bleeding would do your friend any good right now." Jake stated. "Let us allow the doctor to do his work. I'm sure your friend will be alright." Jake calmly assured the worried young Britney.
