The next day on earth. The league sat in silence in the briefing room. "After what happened yesterday it would be safe to assume everyone understands why we have this meeting?" Batman began, his voice low and commanding, filling the room. He paused for a moment to ensure everyone's attention. 

"Listen first, discuss later," he continued, cutting off any potential interruptions.

"Moving forward we have to decide on our stance on the Destroyer God, we brought him here and enabled his ascension." Batman started as he pulled out a remote and pushed a button, the image revealed Gohan's unconscious form and the next slide was them facing off against Vermont, the next was of him eating.

"One potential vulnerability is his appetite. It's a lever we could use, given the trust he has in us," Batman explained, his eyes never leaving the group. "But the risks are high—97% to be precise—especially considering Vermont's interference." Batman started, he could tell Barry had a very irritated expression on his face.

Taking a deliberate pause, he added, "this can definitely be something the league focuses on," 

"Alternatively, we could choose to trust Gohan," Batman proposed, surprising some with his uncharacteristic openness. "He's shown no intention of causing harm without reason. Diana, having spent considerable time with him, can provide her perspective." With that, Batman concluded, allowing Diana to take center stage.

Diana closed her eyes, recalling her conversation with her mother from the previous day.

"I won't let go of him," she had declared to her mother, who shot her a fierce glare.

"You naive child! Haven't you learned from our history? Neither gods nor men can be trusted!" Hippolyta exclaimed, slamming her hand on her throne. The Amazon warriors in the throne room were shocked; they knew Diana had a strong will, but defying the Queen so openly was unheard of, but it was Diana.

"Maybe I am naive," Diana sighed, placing a hand on her belly. "But I'm too committed now to think otherwise. Besides, I love him," she confessed, causing her mother's jaw to tighten.

"You dare speak such nonsense in this throne room! If you keep that god's child, be prepared to leave your home," Hippolyta issued her ultimatum.

"Mother!" Diana protested. However, she stopped when she saw the mix of anger and sadness in her mother's eyes. Avoiding her gaze, Diana bit her lip, then turned and left the throne room.

As she exited the throne room, Diana was met by her younger sister, Donna. "Donna..." Diana started, but Donna interrupted her, holding up her hand.

"Take me with you...please," she pleaded. Diana gently cupped Donna's face, her smile tinged with sadness.

"If you leave with me, you'll be giving up your home. The world of man is vicious. Much of what we're taught as young Amazons is true; they can be vile and ruthless, willing to do anything to get what they want," Diana explained. Donna had always been intrigued by Diana's stories from her visits to the world of man.

"You've told me it's not just men! Women can be just as evil! What about Cheetah? You've said she's one of your greatest nemeses," Donna countered. Diana couldn't deny it.

The world of man was indeed littered with darkness, and women betrayed women just as men betrayed men. The intricate balance of good and bad didn't exist in just one gender; it was a darkness that plagued not just the world, but the universe.

Suddenly she understood the scope of Gohan's hardship, Diana clenched her fist tightly, causing Donna to worry for her sister.

"You aren't ready yet, Donna," Diana finally admitted. Donna looked dejected but then summoned her courage, locking eyes with Diana.

"If mother says yes, will you take me with you?" she asked. "You should understand my desire to see the world and experience adventures. I may face hardships, but I'm willing to take the risk. After all, you escaped under the moon with that man, Trevor," Donna pointed out. Diana was taken aback by her sister's words and realized she hadn't seen Steve Trevor in quite some time.

Diana took a moment to gather her thoughts, her eyes searching Donna's determined gaze. She could see the same spark of curiosity and longing for adventure that she herself had once felt.

"Donna, it's not just about the adventures or the thrill of the unknown. The world of man can be a dangerous place, filled with challenges and temptations that can test your strength and resolve," Diana cautioned.

"I know, Diana," Donna replied earnestly. "But staying here on Themyscira, always wondering what lies beyond the horizon, it's like a fire burning inside me. I want to learn, to grow, to understand the world and its complexities, both the good and the bad."

Diana sighed, her heart torn between wanting to protect her sister and understanding her yearning for freedom and knowledge. "I remember feeling the same way, Donna. The world opened my eyes to both wonders and horrors beyond imagination. But it also shaped me, made me stronger and more compassionate. I just want you to be prepared for whatever you might encounter."

Donna nodded, her determination unwavering. "I am prepared, Diana. I've been trained by the best, and I have you to guide me. If mother agrees, will you mentor me on this journey?"

Diana looked deep into Donna's eyes, seeing the determination and resolve that mirrored her own. "If Queen Hippolyta agrees, and if you truly understand the risks and are prepared to face them, then yes, I will mentor you and guide you on this journey."

A smile spread across Donna's face, her eyes shining with gratitude and excitement. "Thank you, Diana. I promise I won't let you down."

With that, the sisters embraced, "mother has to approve, so before you get too excited perhaps you may want to speak with her, I will return two days from now as I will be held up tomorrow," Diana explained to which she nodded.

Opening her eyes, Diana began, "As Batman told you, I've been with Gohan for a long time. I've learned about his duty and the weight of his responsibility."

She continued, "I believe in his vision for the future. He doesn't want us to keep fighting endless battles against villains. He wants to address the root of the problem," Diana said with determination.

Cyborg raised his hand, "How is that possible? We can't prevent everyone from suffering, but we can help where we can."

Diana responded, "He has plans to change the world for the better, not just for humans but for every species. He wants everyone to feel safe and live fulfilling lives, something he was denied as a child."

"He can supply the great empires with resources, enough to provide food for all citizens. These empires don't value currency; they trade in energy and wage wars to steal stars. He can offer a steady supply," Diana explained.

Green Lantern chimed in, "Wouldn't that worsen corruption? Some might try to profit from it."

Diana replied, "With an endless supply, who would want to wage war? The fact that the planets are now interconnected via his broadcast makes it impossible for their leaders to lie."

Barry added, "He's given the universe an unbiased news feed. Fate said it himself, Angels have no reason to lie, and neither does he."

Diana looked at the members with resolve, "We all had our doubts, but if you give him a chance—" her expression resolute as if she was on the verge of a life-changing choice.

"I've decided to leave the Justice League," Diana announced, shocking the members. The room fell silent.

"Why, Diana?" Supergirl asked. They had a disagreement the day before, but leaving seemed drastic.

"After learning of the approaching threat, I don't want to sit back and wait. He's working hard to protect us, but I have someone I want to protect too," she explained, touching her stomach, sensing a unique Ki developing within her.

Everyone was stunned, except for Batman, who stood up, seemingly unsurprised by Diana's revelation.

"Would you consider staying on as a part-time member?" Batman asked. He couldn't afford to sever their connection to Gohan, the destroyer god, especially when they only had Barry. Having two backups would be beneficial.

Diana nodded, "Earth is my home, and I'll continue to defend it. However, I'll spend more time training on his planet. I need to become stronger too."

Batman nodded in understanding. "I understand your decision, but I have a request," he said, catching her curiosity.

"I'd like you to take Robin and Batgirl with you," Batman revealed, shocking everyone in the room. "They'll grow more on Gohan's planet than they ever could in Gotham. Besides, I believe Joker might target Barbara," he added, his finger twitching slightly.

"We may have our differences, but Joker could use them to get to me," Bruce explained. Diana nodded slowly, silently acknowledging, 'The Bat does have a heart.'

"That should be alright, I might take my sister Donna with as well," Diana revealed.

Power Girl stood up, surprising everyone in the room. "I don't fully agree, but I do think we need to get stronger. We can't always rely on Gohan to save us," Karen said, leaving the group stunned.

"I'd like to join the training too," she added. Recent events had shown her she wasn't among the strongest anymore. "I won't leave the league, but I'll take the training offer if it's open," she concluded, showing her readiness for a new challenge.

Supergirl chimed in, "If Karen's training, then I want to as well."

Batman considered their requests. "Sending you both one at a time should be fine, especially until Superman recovers." Earth couldn't be left without a Kryptonian.

Batman then addressed the group, "It seems we've come to an agreement. All in favor of working with Gohan to make the world safer, raise your hand." Every hand went up.

"We'll still prepare emergency plans in case he turns against us, but those will be a last resort. I believe he'd agree with this approach," Batman stated, receiving unanimous approval.

"Now, about Superman," Batman began, leading to an uneasy silence, particularly among the Kryptonians.

Batman addressed the two other Kryptonians, "You both seemed certain that what Gohan was doing was evil. Can you explain?"

"It's like the sound of nails on a chalkboard, but much worse. We heard them being torn apart before they vanished. It sounded like a horrifying way to die," Supergirl described.

Turning to Diana, Batman asked, "Do you have any insights?"

Diana nodded, "He told me he chooses the level of pain someone feels. Innocent people experience no pain, but those who oppose him, like those who tried to kill him, suffer greatly. Destroyer Gods value their reputation. With Lord Beerus present, it would have been a drawn-out and agonizing death."

She continued, "In our world, it's easy to forget these powerful forces exist. He doesn't revel in the pain and destruction he causes, but if he doesn't someone else surely will and with no restraint," she finished.

"The Priest told Supergirl that many issues could be resolved by erasing everything and starting anew. But that would mean our erasure too. Instead, we've been given a chance," Diana concluded, reminding everyone of the Grand Priest's words they had all heard.

Power Girl spoke up, "We've all made mistakes. Can you trust us to handle this? We'll discuss with Clark when he wakes up." she finished looking at Supergirl who nodded in agreement.

Everyone agreed, acknowledging the chance they had been given to correct their errors.

"Is there anything else we should discuss before I dismiss everyone?" Batman asked, inviting further comments.

"Yes," Barry spoke up, clearly still bothered. "Regardless of what happened, our relationship with Gohan deteriorated because of it. So, when you guys go to train on his planet, how sure are we that something like this won't happen again? Who knows what Superman will do once he wakes up? I know he's a good guy, but he can tunnel vision. We've seen that," the image of Gohans searing flesh flashing in everyone's mind.

"That's unfair," Karen began. "Clark has always stood up for what he believed was right, and he's rarely been wrong. He deserves some forgiveness for this one mistake," she defended.

"I don't disagree. I like Clark; he's a friend. But before another crisis occurs, we should be prepared to intervene if necessary. Or at the very least, help him understand," Green Lantern added.

"I agree. My nose is still sore from that lady's headbutt. Compared to Gohan, she's definitely the greater threat," Martian Manhunter said. "But I understand her anger. I can't imagine how I'd react if I lost M'gann and then saw her burned alive..." His words hung heavily over the table, leaving a moment of silence.

"Alright!" Supergirl declared. "We can do better. Right now, we're the ones who acted like villains," she said, determination shining in her eyes. "If Gohan has a plan to reduce suffering overall, then it's our duty to help him to the best of our ability. Normally, I'd say we shouldn't play god, but in this case, he's literally been given the authority to act as he sees fit by god."

"I never thought of it that way, but you have a point," Cyborg added. "Maybe we needed this reminder that we aren't the ultimate moral authority," he said, leaning back in his chair.

"The guy can resurrect the dead without facing any karmic consequences. It seems even the universe doesn't want to cross him," Green Lantern mused, looking at his glowing ring. "No wonder my ring didn't want to confront him."

Suddenly, his ring glowed brighter, catching everyone's attention. "A summons?" Hal questioned.

"From the Guardians?" Barry inquired, to which Hal nodded.

"Yes, it's an emergency summons," Hal confirmed. "I think I know why, though."

"They probably want to warn the rest of the Corps to avoid Gohan," Hal suggested as he stood up. "This is a chance for me to ask some much-needed questions."

"GL, here are some questions I want you to ask the Guardians about the legitimacy of the Destroyer God position. I'd like to get a different perspective," Batman said, sending Hal a PDF file.

Hal reached into his pocket for his communication device. Fortunately, he could easily remove the portion of his suit blocking his pocket with a simple thought.

Hal nodded and left the table. "I hate to leave during this meeting, but I can't ignore the Guardians' summons," he said. Batman nodded in understanding.

"Don't worry, without that ring, you'd struggle to remain a member. It's best you go," Batman added. Hal gave him a blank stare as the other members chuckled.

Kakarot and Garlia entered the Royal castle, with Garlia holding little Taron. "He looks exactly like Lord Gohan," Garlia remarked, noticing the resemblance.

"Of course, this little guy is destined for greatness. His power level is four hundred! That's impressive for a child," Kakarot said with pride.

"My power level as a baby was two hundred, and yours was two. You don't think nature works in multiplication, right?" Garlia asked. Kakarot was stumped before bursting into laughter.

"Who cares! He has your natural potential and my determination to grow," Kakarot said thoughtfully. "Maybe that's what happened with Gohan. His mother must have some incredible hidden potential mixed with Goku's determination."

Kakarot had gotten used to calling Goku by his Earth name to avoid confusion. Garlia simply nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Strix approached the palace where her brother was supposed to be. She peered inside and thought, 'Strange, where is he? I didn't know how to sense Ki when I last saw him, so I'll have to find him the old-fashioned way.'

Entering the room, it appeared vacant. "L-lady Strix..." a maid suddenly recognized her.

"Where is my brother? He should be in this room," Strix asked curiously.

"Master Cassius... he's downstairs. The master put him in the basement," the maid explained fearfully. "None of us servants could stop him."

An explosion of Ki echoed down the hallway, shaking the palace's foundation as Strix flew towards the person who dared to imprison her brother.

Outside the vastness of creation, a lone being observed reality from the Abyss. 'Those two destroyers were weak. Even after all these eons, they still can't stand up to my youngest brother. What a bore,' the figure mused. 'I can't blindly rush in, though. Father might not confront me directly, however, being detected by the Grand Presence means certain erasure again. Maybe I should seek assistance. Trigon owes me, and he hates the Grand Priest as much as I do. After all, it was Father who locked him out of our reality. He has been trying to get into the 21st universe, his only connection being some mortal girl,' the silhouette of an Angel with a side-swept undercut hairstyle contemplated.

"Now he's punching air in the Negaverse," he chuckled to himself. "Why not?" he mused before turning away from the Grand Presence's Omniverse, flying deeper into the Abyss towards the negative reality.

Back on Gohan's planet, Gohan sat in his Beast form, eyes closed, meditating. He had been working on controlling the form. 'The initial power burst was impressive but uncontrolled. I need to master it to become even stronger,' he thought. His intense Ki pressure was almost unbearable for Bardock and Raditz to be around for too long, so they spent most of their time training with Vermont. Even Goku and Vegeta saw it as a challenge to surpass, preferring it over trying to overcome Lord Beerus's seemingly limitless power.

Beerus, Vegeta, and Goku meditated next to him, contemplating their understanding of Ultra Instinct. Goku sat in Ultra Instinct Sign, while Beerus studied his aura, trying to grasp more of Goku's weaker version of the godly technique. Whis and Vermont had suggested that being near the aura might offer some rudimentary understanding.

For most of the day, they meditated until Beerus opened his eyes and stood up.

"Alright, I'm going to get Broly and talk to Belmod about Jiren joining us," Beerus announced.

Gohan stood up, powering down into Super Saiyan God just to relax for a few moments. "Alright," he began, "I know you said you want me to be stronger first—"

"Forget it. If you want to visit your family, you're more than welcome," Beerus interrupted, stunning Gohan, who quickly relaxed and smiled.

"Don't look so happy! I just think it would be unfortunate if you don't see your family and friends before facing an Angel," Beerus added, avoiding eye contact.

Gohan approached Beerus and held out his fist. "Let's not worry about why. Thanks, Beerus," he said. Beerus, surprised, gave him a fist bump that turned into a smirk.

"We'll stop Merno and have the best fight in the Null Realm," Gohan promised. Beerus returned the fist bump.

"I'll hold you to that. Goku, Vegeta, stay and train. With how much weaker you guys are, you need constant training," Beerus instructed. Vegeta's eye twitched; he was meditating but could still hear Beerus and Gohan.

Goku opened one eye. "Lord Beerus, we'll train here for a few more months and then head back. I feel like the Room of Spirit and Time would be one of our best training methods." Both Gohan and Beerus nodded in agreement.

"Training in the chamber is a great idea. I think I'll go in there for a few weeks," Gohan said.

"Won't you grow old in there?" Goku asked, his eye switching between Beerus and Gohan.

"Dad, I don't age anymore. I'm a god now," Gohan reminded him, causing Goku's eye to widen.

"That's right! For a second, I thought you'd come out an old man. Videl would be pretty surprised to see you all wrinkly," Goku chuckled.

Gohan paused Videl, she was alive. "No, that isn't a problem." He knew she had some feelings for him just as he had for her before but he was with someone else now, his heart ached slightly before shaking his head, he would talk to her and hopefully she would understand.

"Oh, that reminds me. You haven't seen Videl in a while. Don't forget to drop by; she's been waiting for you," Goku said. Gohan nodded.

"Another woman? What are you, some player?" Beerus demanded, his pride wounded.

Grinding his teeth, Beerus turned to leave with a red face. "Don't take too long, or I'll change my mind!" he warned before heading off to Whis, leaving them surprised at his outburst.

"You know, sometimes Lord Beerus is a weirdo," Goku commented as Gohan facepalmed.

"Dad, you're the only one who has the guts to say that out loud," Gohan said, entertained by his father and Beerus's friendship.

Vegeta opened his eyes, making Goku frown. "Hey, Vegeta! We were in the middle of a fight, what gives?" Goku asked.

"Maybe if you weren't splitting your focus, the fight would be at least somewhat interesting," Vegeta responded. Goku dropped out of Ultra Instinct Sign, frowning.

"I was about to concentrate again!"

Ignoring Goku, Vegeta looked at Gohan. "He's the same with the Grand Zeno," he explained.

"We didn't tell you, but your father was responsible for our Survival Tournament. He befriended the Grand Zeno and asked him to hold a multiverse tournament, which actually saved us because the Grand Zeno was planning on erasing our multiverse," Gohan couldn't believe his ears.

"You're friends with the King?" he asked, stunned, as Goku shrugged and pulled out a button.

"Oh yeah, Zenny and I are pretty close. He even gave me this button. I can go to him or summon him to me," Goku explained, showing Gohan the button. Gohan eyed the button warily. The thought of arriving in the Omni-Palace for his coronation had been scary, and he'd never even seen the Grand Presence. He couldn't imagine calling the supreme being by a nickname.

Stunned for a moment, Gohan chuckled. Of course, his father had befriended the literal ruler of their reality. "After what happened in Trunks' timeline, I'm pretty sure it's best if Zenny doesn't find out about what's happening. He'd probably just erase this universe. He should definitely be a last resort. If it ever comes to that, I'll try my best to convince him not to erase the universe."

"Trunks' timeline? He came back?" Gohan was surprised, then shook his head. "You have to tell me sometime. It sounds like a lot has happened." Goku nodded.

"You have no idea. Did you know Supreme Kais could turn bad?" Goku said, surprising Gohan. Shaking his head, Gohan then transformed into Beast.

"I'm going to look for Brainiac and Sinestro for now, Beast would be the fastest. Then I'll go get Diana. I'm sure she'd like to join me in visiting the 7th," Gohan said. Goku nodded, and Gohan headed towards Vermont and Whis, where Beerus was.

"Beast?" Goku questioned as Vegeta shrugged. "Must be the name he choose for his new form." Vegeta ended.

Upon arriving, he saw Bardock and Raditz walking around with weighted suits, trying to keep up with a disappearing platform. "Could you give me the location of those two? Brainiac and Sinestro," Gohan asked. Vermont nodded.

"Of course, my lord," Vermont's staff glowed before transferring the knowledge to Gohan, who nodded.

"Thanks," Gohan said, looking out into the universe. His red eyes seemed to pierce through the vastness of space, homing in on the two. "Found you," he said, disappearing in a burst of speed and immediately appearing next to Brainiac, who didn't seem too surprised.

"I had a feeling you'd come looking for me soon," Brainiac said. He was seated on his chair. "I won't just let you defeat me so easily." A thin beam of light hit Gohan's forehead.

Brainiac watched, trying to assess the damage, but wasn't surprised when Gohan didn't even flinch from the high-density laser.

Brainiac sighed, 'I didn't think it wouldn't do anything, but I guess the planet-destroying laser isn't enough. Enchantress was right; these combat gods are truly formidable.' That was his last thought before Gohan erased him with a "Hakai," turning the 12th intellect into purple sparkles. Brainiac smiled before disappearing.

'Hopefully, he didn't realize this isn't the last copy of m—' Brainiac didn't get to finish his thought as his entire being was destroyed, along with his ship.

Sinestro was flying as fast as he could towards nothing, starting to panic. Brainiac had been turned to dust, and he feared he was next.

Closing his eyes to locate Gohan, Sinestro couldn't believe he was fearing for his life. He felt pathetic. 'I should never have fallen for what that witch said! If I never confronted him, I wouldn't be running for my life right now,' he thought, suddenly feeling like he flew into a solid wall.

Opening his eyes, he trembled as he stared down the God of Destruction, Gohan, who had an indifferent expression on his face. Sinestro backed up before clenching his fist and attacking instantly, creating a hammer and smashing it against Gohan. Gohan didn't bother to block and just floated towards Sinestro, his energy constructs shattering upon colliding with the Destroyer God.

"You'll need stronger constructs if you want me to feel them, let alone injure me," Gohan said, suddenly appearing in front of Sinestro, who instantly created a barrier.

"If it's a contest of raw power, you're way in over your head." Gohan erupted his aura, sending cosmic tremors across the universe, shaking everything violently and sending the universe into a state of fear and terror. Everything felt as if it was being torn apart, before suddenly stopping.

"You said you'd find Enchantress first!" Sinestro let out as Gohan's indifference turned to irritation.

Sinestro trembled. 'Oh, I'm screwed...' His energy construct faded away, having lost all will to fight back. He knew his limit.

"My name is Son Gohan, God of Destruction, also son of the greatest warrior to ever live so there's that too," Gohan explained, approaching Sinestro again, who couldn't move.

"You could have been a strong ally. When you come back, try choosing a better lifestyle. Who knows, we could meet again. For this, I won't use the Hakai on you," Gohan said, releasing an eye beam that reduced Sinestro to nothing, incinerating him instantly, sending him to the afterlife.

Silence filled space as the entire universe stood still. People who weren't even watching the broadcast were freaked out. Many thought they were about to die; their reality almost shattered. It felt like they were truly near death.

Hippolyta was with Donna, their conversation heated. "I don't wish to stay here for the rest of my life and grow old, mother. I wish to go beyond the horizon and see the wonders of the world. Diana even agreed—" Donna stopped; her mother's eyes were furious.

"Don't mention her name! She will learn the hard way. Man or god, both are worthless. Neither can hold their wor—" Suddenly, the ground, the sky, and even the ocean violently shook as a shockwave reverberated through their very being. 'Is the world falling apart?' Hippolyta wondered as space around her began to distort, tearing her in half before it stopped and everything went back to normal. She broke out into a cold sweat.

'What in the?' Quickly shutting her eyes, she trembled lightly. 'Just what did that fool do?' she questioned.

The Royals were frozen in cold sweat, having experienced that. Every planet was currently terrified; they almost died! Slowly closing their eyes, they knew only one person could have been responsible.

Carnelia had finally begun to feel better, thanks to their healing technology. Just as she started to recover, an intense shockwave hit, making her feel as though she was being torn apart by space. "W-what was that?" she questioned. Realization struck her: it was the destroyer god. She quickly shut her eyes.

Suddenly, Gohan spoke up, "I can't promise you won't experience that again, but I promise I will minimize shaking reality like that." In his mind, he knew there might be times when he couldn't stop Merno. He needed to get these mortals used to the idea; their reality was fragile in the eyes of true combat gods. He required their cooperation for this to work. While he didn't want to be a tyrant, he had to remind them that he could be one if pushed too far.

Many were too afraid to voice their dissatisfaction. Amanda Waller, however, was shaking with fear and anger. 'How dare he! Soon I'll teach him a lesson for looking down on Earth. He just threatened everything, inciting a challenge.' Pulling out her phone she called the Doctor. Wasting no time.

"Doctor, increase the time frame by two years. Focus on enhancing adaptability and raw power output. See if we can extract some of his memories through his DNA. Train the Sentinels accordingly. But tweak them a bit; make them believe they grew up as my children. Portray me as a loving mother to them. And in two years, we'll have solved the loyalty problem. And just in case, let them know this. We wouldn't want them to figure out we just wanted a weapon. Tell them I choose to make children through science instead. Say I didn't want to adopt," Amanda instructed, smirking. " After all,"

"I am a scientist at heart," she explained to the Doctor, who nodded.

"That's not a bad idea. It's risky, but I have a question," the Doctor began.

"What about their immense strength and power?" he asked. "If you just wanted children, this wouldn't have been necessary."

"Just say I wanted them to have superpowers. Is it really that hard to think for yourself, Doctor? It would also explain why I decided to create them, I wanted to give them the greatest destiny, become a protector of earth, and most importantly, me, the director of A.R.G.U.S." she explained. The Doctor chuckled.

"I apologize; you're correct."

Amanda walked away, "Keep me posted," she ordered as she left.
