Decided to do something an bit different, and actually wrote my first fanfic story set within the Trauma Center Manga, since I've gotten encouraged several times, I'd figured I'd give it an shot and this one is based off an ghost story idea I came up with during an twitch stream Storm Arashi did, bear in mind that due to this being my first sort of fanfic like this ever, it may look off or weak in someplaces.

As for the placement I think it could honestly happen anytime after Chapter 8 of the manga but right before chapters 9 and 10.

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The case of the haunted Caduceus Laboratory!

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Every wise Doctor or Nurse knows that in order for progress to be made in modern medicine, they must always work together with researchers to further their understanding of disease and find the perfect cure as a result, and nowhere is this more emphasized than in Caduceus, especially with the newly discovered man-made disease G.U.I.L.T on the horizon of becoming an widespread outbreak.

However like all other things, hospital work of any kind can go on into the night and let's just say that coupled with an thick fog that can sometimes occur in Angeles Bay, it has many ways of conjuring up many spooky tales ranging from past horrific tragedies, or the simple hauntings of restless spirits of deceased patients in the morgue, a hospital always seemed to be the most ideal setting for such an tale…

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One such incident would occur in Caduceus USA, Nurse Leslie Sears was making her way home after finishing her rather longer than usual shift for the day.

Night time had fallen by the time she was passing through the empty Caduceus hallways, and she was looking forward to crashing in bed before another busy day tomorrow.

"I swear the number of patients always seems to increase during these foggy periods…" she sighed, letting out a tired yawn as thick fog often raised the risk of road traffic accidents and today was one of those days.

"Kch, you're telling me… I don't even remember how many doctors I assisted alongside treating patients today… the sooner this bad weather lifts the better…"

The voice of agreement came from an surgeon called Julia who was part of the reserve team that dealt with G.U.I.L.T, while she was supportive like Leslie, she could be rather full of her own ideas, often getting up to several wisecracks that earned her Nurse Angie Thompson's ire on occasion, but when it came to work she could become serious when required, and it seemed today really burned her out to the point she couldn't make an wisecrack today.

Before Leslie could respond however, they began to hear a strange sort of hissing sound… "Wh-what was that?" Julia asked, an bit perturbed by the disturbance, Leslie looked around the hallway was deathly silent, aside from the occasional cricket that sounded now and then...

"I-I don't know… m-maybe it's our minds playing tricks on us due to being tired from all the stress today!" Leslie tried to reassure Julia, but her tone of voice didn't match her confidence.

Just then they heard another noise, a sort of bubbling kind of sound followed by the same sound of hissing again but this time it was louder and seemed to be near a laboratory.... suddenly there was a loud *POOF*! followed by a sudden flash of green lighting up the entire room, followed by an creepy looking shadow appearing out of nowhere, it was too much for the nurse and doctor!

"AIIEEE!!! LET'S GET OUT OF HEREEEE!!!!"

They both shrieked, terrified for their lives the nurses bolted down the hallway as fast as their legs could carry them! They didn't stop until they reached the safety of their homes!

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, the pair were extremely exhausted, neither had gotten much sleep due to having the living daylights spooked out of them last night, and needless to say were quite jumpy at the slightest of sound...

"Good Morning Leslie and Julie!" Came the quiet, but friendly voice of James Lunagazer, the primary surgeon of the same G.U.I.L.T reserve team as Julia, he'd only meant to be polite in his greeting, but Leslie had quite the awful fright and nearly jumped out of her skin!

"AAAAH!! STAY AWAY!!!" Leslie unnaturally screamed, causing James to flinch and jump back in surprise, letting out an little squeak in the process.

(Okay... that's not like Les… she's normally so chipper to say hello to me, in fact she looks rather pale...!)

"U-U-Um… i-is something the matter…? You and Julia for that matter seem to be rather err…on edge for just an morning's greeting." He said carefully, afraid of being screamed at again, and a little hurt for being told to stay away unexpectedly, but he decided to find out what was wrong.

Leslie soon recoiled, instantly feeling guilty for scaring younger surgeon at once, "O-Oh… sorry James, j-just been a very long night for the both of us…"

She put an hand on his shoulder to comfort him, he was practically like an little brother to her at times due to how he spent time as Dr. Tyler Chase's pupil of sorts, since Leslie was Tyler and Dr. Stephen Clarks' main assistant, as a result they got to know each other pretty well.

"Is everything alright there Leslie? We heard you scream."

Asked an concerned voice which belonged to Dr. Derek Stiles, alongside Angie Thompson, Tyler and Senior Nurse Bentley Toby also joined them, wondering what the matter was as well, seeing everyone be so concerned, Julia decided it would be best to tell them about last night.

"W-Well... you're all probably not gonna believe this.... but do you promise not to laugh?"

"Um... sure, not sure why you'd think we even laugh at you two when it's clearly an serious situation but okay..." Derek said scratching his cheek in confusion, soon the whole room fell into silence.

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once Julia and Leslie finished recounting the events of last night, there was a long silence until a few snickers turned into laughter broke it.

"That's some likely story! Are you two sure you weren't half-asleep, from being overworked yesterday or something?"

"Dr. Tyler Chase! I swear we are NOT making this up!"

Leslie pouted crossly, her face burning with anger, which made James and Angie both jump in surprise, and were slightly scared, as this was a new side of Leslie they had never seen before...

Julia also glowered at Derek who seemed to have a slight grin on his face and the two boys immediately subsided in response, completely unnerved, (Mostly from Leslie's reaction though!)

"Ahem, putting all that aside, this is most strange... just what was going on in the lab that night? I cannae recall anyone making plans to work in there to my knowledge, unless anyone has any bright ideas?"

Pondered Bentley trying to keep the topic from escalating out of hand and Leslie soon calmed down afterwards, giving James and Angie an apologetic look.

"M-m-ma-maybe... it was the angry spirit of a dead patient that's seeking revenge!? I've heard many tales about that sort of thing... perhaps one of them's come to curse us!" James shuddered, fully believing the story, and practically admitting he was scared of ghosts!

"PAH! What utter rubbish! There has to be a more reasonable and scientific explanation for this! There's no such thing as ghosts or any thing haunting of any kind!" Angie frowned, finding the whole notion rather ridiculous, being the more logical type than believing in the supernatural.

(Well... I do see or hear advice from an spirit every time I use the Healing Touch, but best not to tell the others that...) Derek thought remembering Asclepius, it would probably make things more awkward and test Angie's patience.

"Well then Ms. Scientific Explainer, why don't YOU give us one!?"

Julia thundered pointing an angry finger at Angie, completely offended that no one seemed to be buying the story, before an heated argument could break out, Bentley quickly stepped between them!

"Calm down lass, I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of this, getting angry now won't solve anything." Bentley said gently, but firmly, Julia let out an huff in response but obeyed, "Fine." She said then heading out of the room to cool off.

Angie watched Julia go and couldn't help but feel guilty, "Never mind Angie, I'm sure she'll apologize later and understand you never meant to offend her." Leslie reassured, being more calmer about all this compared to Julia, "Thanks Leslie..." Angie smiled in response.

"Still, we'd better get to the bottom of this, otherwise I won't be able to sleep or pass by there at night...." James shivered, feeling an massive chill go down his spine....

"I'll make sure there isn't anything strange, I'm on night shift with Dr. Stiles tonight, and we'll prove that there isn't a ghost!" Angie said determinedly, being the more serious about this, partly to also try and set things right with Julia.

"Wh-What!?! Me too!?" Derek exclaimed, caught off guard, "Yes, you too, would serve you right for snickering earlier." Angie said, an bit of sly grin on her face, Derek sighed in defeat, he knew better than to try and argue with Angie when she had an authoritative tone.

"Alright fineee..." Angie then winked at Leslie and soon went off to continue the rounds, James struggled to hold back an grin, at seeing Derek get an bit of karma from his short assistant.

"Any bets on whether she'll scream loudly or not?" Tyler cracked feeling mischievous, everyone either just rolled their eyes or facepalmed in response, "I'll go talk to Julia in the meantime, and hopefully she'll join us in this ghost hunt!" Leslie said, deciding to go with Derek and Angie too.

"You'd best be on your guards tonight then..." James responded, but then gulped remembering that he too was on night shift....

(Why do I suddenly get the feeling I'm gonna be dragged into all this...??)

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Soon darkness fell once again, when all the work was done, Angie went down the hallway alongside Derek, Leslie, Julia and James who Derek managed to persuade into joining, much to the younger surgeon's initial reluctance, but he eventually relented in order to try and conquer his fears, and mostly because Tyler had to go attend to something else...

(I'll bet Tyler said that just to bail out and throw me into the line of fire, well I'll show him!)

"So... what do you think we'll find?" James asked, glancing all around uneasily hoping nothing out of place was there the hallway looked rather eerie at night, the only sound being the flickering lights above that cast shadows...

"I don't know exactly, but just know that if any of you need to take a break, don't be afraid to do so." Leslie advised, trying to be brave for James and Julia's sakes.

"Oh don't worry everyone! I'm sure we won't run into anything--WWWAAAARRGHH!!"

Derek shrieked hearing a sudden noise, as soon as that happened the whole group stopped dead in their tracks at once!

"AH! Wh-what?! What!?! WHATWASTHATISITANGHOST!?!!" James squeaked, holding onto Julia's arm out of fear, much to her surprise!

Leslie then peered towards the window and then an owl flew by the tree that was always present outside the hallway, giving an little "Hoot!" As it wandered off elsewhere.

"Phew... only an owl, those cuties really take you off-guard in spooky settings don't they?"

She giggled, as Derek's cheeks burned red with embarrassment, Angie had her hand over her mouth clearly trying not to laugh, "Okay, okay I deserved that..." He sighed in defeat.

(I have an feeling that was Angie's plan all along, I'd better be more careful of my jokes from now on...)

"Um...James? Y-You can let go of me now..." Julia said softly, blushing from the surprise death grip on her arm, once James realized the close proximity to Julia, he quickly released himself from her and looked away.

"S....s....sorry...." He said, reduced to mere mumbles, fiddling with his ponytail out of habit, he wanted to cover up his face but he couldn't as his hooded cowl was in the changing locker, his cherry red face practically could light up the whole hallway right now, which Leslie thought was far too adorable, unable to keep a smile off her face.

(Shame Tyler decided to skip out on this!) She giggled, she could only imagine what'd he say if saw James and Julia together just then!

"O-oh yeah! I-I-I-I-I once heard from a train ghost story that whenever an owl hoots a mist rolls in! Th-Th-Though that's not likely to happen in reality though, ahaha...l-let's just go..."

He said attempting to change the topic but failing miserably, he then walked on in shame, not saying anything else in case he made it more awkward, amidst some quiet laughter from Leslie and Derek.

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However soon they neared the same lab and the mood grew tense, it felt as if anything could jump out at any moment, the only sounds that could be heard was the constant flicker of overhead lights as from before, but it hardly did little to lessen the atmosphere, even Angie internally had to admit it was very creepy and disturbing.

"Th-think we should split up and search through the labs one by one?" Julia asked, more uneasy than before thinking there was going to be an jump scare.

"U-Uh... Haven't you seen horror movies? That's a terrible idea, makes it more likely to get you picked off..." James replied shakily.

"You're surprisingly knowledgeable about horror stories." Angie said raising an eyebrow in curiosity and looking over to the boy.

"W-Well...n-n-not that I've seen any!" James tried to bluff, raising his hand to his glasses to seem confident, but his shaking legs gave him away.

"Honestly you're as terrible of, if not worse of a liar than I am! Didn't you just say you heard of a train ghost story that had a owl an moment ago?" Derek frowned, instantly seeing through it.

Before James could retort though, they suddenly heard the same hissing sound as before, and it seemed to be much louder this time!

"Th-that's it! That's the sound we heard!" Julia exclaimed, "We must be close... let's move in." Derek said as he reached for the door, but just as he opened it there was an loud *BANG!* and suddenly the lights went out!

"AAAAAH!!" Julia shrieked, panic fully beginning to set in as they then heard shuffling noises, but that was the least of their concerns.

"A-a-an blackout!?!" James gasped, then trying to fumble his way in the dark only to step on something soft, and it resulted in an painful--

"OW! Careful! That's MY foot you're trampling on!" Derek exclaimed, "Sorry! I just can't see my hands in front of me!" James apologized, Leslie tried to move up but only succeeded in crashing into James and Derek!

"Nobody move! The lights will turn on eventually!" Angie sharply called, although there seemed to be a more high pitched sound to it…

"Wait a minute! I have a flashlight! Call out if you feel me giving it to you, and pass it up to whoever's in front!" Julia called.

"Oh, and you wait until NOW to tell us this!? Why couldn't you have said that sooner!?" Angie snarked, as Julia eventually passed it up, but as soon as it was turned on…

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!"

That chilling scream was so loud it seemed to shatter glass, just as the light flashed on a shadow of a person!

"L-LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!! I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!!" Angie cried, now terrified to the point of tears, "I TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID ABOUT THE GHOSTS! THEY ARE REAL!! HELP!!!!!", unable to bear it any longer, she shut her eyes and prepared for the worst!

"I beg your pardon...? And just who the hell are you calling a ghost Nurse Thompson?"

Suddenly there came a rather grouchy familiar voice of…

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Wait… what!? VICTOR!?" James exclaimed just as the lights finally came back on to reveal the head of Caduceus USA R&D, looking rather exhausted and very cross as his eyes fixated on the stunned group in front of him.

"Tch... figures, I was wondering what all the screaming was from the other night, and just what all this kerfuffle was all about, what kind of crap were you lot smoking to think I was a ghost? " He demanded, clearly not in the best of moods, if he ever was to begin with....

"Well, there was the sudden poof, a-a-and the whole green flash of light Leslie and I saw!" Julia stammered out, trying to regain her composure as she stood up again.

"Oh that? That was just some chemical vial I was testing out, it's for our G.U.I.L.T research and development project to create an new vaccine, but obviously since I didn't want a certain "SOMEONE" disturbing me during the mixing process, I decided to conduct these tests in secret at night, unfortunately it seems it's an bust and needs more refinement before it can be safely used…"

"And what about the hissing sound?" Leslie asked.

"That was just the kettle I was using to brew coffee, I would require that stuff to keep me powering through the night, Now then, you've got anything else to quiz me on? Or do you morons want to keep playing this stupid love-dovey scare act malarkey?"

Victor grumpily asked, then pointing over to Angie who was revealed to be clinging onto Derek rather tightly, eyes closed and tears formed in her eyes from the fright of her life she just had.

The dynamic duo immediately turned as scarlet as an tomato, and quickly scrambled up to their feet away from each other, "W-W-We are not playing an stupid love-dovey act! D-Don't be ridiculous!"

Angie stammered out in denial, not scared anymore, but she was feeling rather humiliated and foolish, not helped by the fact Julia, Leslie and even James were quietly giggling to themselves, Derek was far too embarrassed and shocked to reply.

"Well, I think that solves this haunted mystery! It was just Victor all along doing some-late night experiments!" Julia proclaimed.

"Yes, yes, great work that you solved that charade, yay, now if you'll excuse me, I must to get back to work before Chief Kasal gets on my rear again for staying up late... honestly why do I even bother with this wave of morons...?" Victor grumbled quietly in heavy sarcasm, as he continued to burn away the midnight oil...

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By morning the fog had cleared up, Julia and Angie were now in the break room having an coffee break before going back to work, silence hung over the pair for an moment before Julia then spoke up.

"Hey um...Angie? Sorry I lost my temper at you yesterday, I was just feeling frustrated from all the stress of the other night, and ended up taking it out on you, it was so unprofessional of me and for that, I apologize." She said guiltily.

Angie simply smiled, "Apology accepted Julie, like Dr. Stiles I'm not one to hold an grudge for long, and I'm sorry about coming off as unintentionally rude with those comments yesterday, that scare really got to me, even if it was just Dr. Niguel." She replied in return.

"Eh, to be honest you were the more rational one, and for what it's worth you were pretty brave to get to the bottom of this, despite the rather high pitched scream which I'll admit was pretty cute!" Julia teased with an bit of mischievous grin.

"H-hey!" Angie pouted, "I'd much rather forget that awful experience...." she muttered.

Julia laughed, "Sorry, sorry! Couldn't resist!" She said, "But I'll make sure that what actually happened stays between us." She winked, Angie nodded in agreement, shaking hands with Julia mending their friendship.

*CRASH!!!*

"CHASSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Just then, Tyler and an rather furious Victor were racing down the hallway, "Oh come on Vic, it was an accident!!!" Tyler pleaded, looking rather terrified almost as if he'd seen a ghost!

"OH THAT WILL CHANGE RATHER QUICK WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU....YOU... LAB DISASTER DEMON!!!"

Victor bellowed, charging towards Tyler with all the ferocity of an mad bull that had seen red, upon this, Tyler let out an unnaturally girlish scream and soon the pair disappeared into the distance!

James and Derek came up following them close behind, and were absolutely beside themselves in hysterics along with Leslie, Derek had to lean against the wall for extra support as he guffawed out loud!

"What was that all about?" Angie asked confused, Derek managed to wipe an tear and recover.

"Pfft... w-well... Tyler was just teasing us for being scared of ghosts last night, said he'd never be scared be anything, except in his distraction of teasing us, he....snrk...hehe...."

Derek completely broke again so James had to finish for him, "He...he... ended up breaking an object in Victor's lab, and now Victor's got Tyler...on the "Chase!" So to speak! BWAHAHAHA!!!"

And everyone just erupted with laughter right then and there at James' awful pun, even Angie, it was like that one old saying: "Laughter really is the best medicine."

And in this case it really was from the spookiness of the past two nights, but not for Tyler, seems he and Victor will be running for quite an while!

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Be honest, who figured it would likely be Victor that was the ghost all along? Also I can just envision the whole Victor chasing Tyler around scene to have Benny Hill playing over it!

Man though, Tyler really cannot catch an break lately can he? Anyway that was my first fanfic, hope it entertained you in any way possible, and I might be doing more of these sort of side story fanfics later down the line as I have an few ideas.

(*Slight edit from the future.)

Also might be doing Julia as another OC character drawing next, she was actually gonna be an ER Surgeon named Molly Hailey, but who knows I might do that character too, *figured another nurse would be nice for Lesile and Angie to talk to (*If you're re-reading or reading this for the first time, I've decided to change Julia to being an surgeon alongside James instead, kinda making her the Valerie to James' Markus.)

Also James' sister Kira was supposed to have an role in this, but figured she didn't fit so had to cut her out, but I'll defintely include her in the next one! So yeah thanks for reading and I'll see you for the next one!
