Title – Go Save The World
Setting - 3rd Season
Chapter 1 A.K.A. Mad Scientist
Dr. Cuddy's voice sounded through the lobby. House kept limping towards the elevator as fast as he can. He knew she had another case for him and he wasn't in the mood to deal with another lying patient. His leg hurt too much this morning and all he wanted to do was take his vicodin and take a nap in his recliner. He had no such luck when the elevator stalled and Cuddy caught up to him.
"Nice try," she commented on his futile attempt to escape. "I have a case for you."
"Aww mom, do I have too," he whined sarcastically as the elevator opened. She rolled her eyes in annoyance as he walked in and she stopped the doors before they can close. She held out the file, not in the mood to play games with him.
"Take this case and you're excused from the clinic for two days."
"Make it a week," he demanded.
"Deal," she said quickly without a second thought.
House narrowed his eyes.
"Why do you want me to take this case so bad? Is the patient interesting?" he asked mockingly as he grabbed the file from her hand.
"He's a scientist at the university in New York," she explained as he flipped through the file.
"And he has fatigue, headaches, and vomiting. Give him a flu shot," House snapped.
"He doesn't have a fever and he seized this morning," she said quickly, knowing he couldn't resist another puzzle.
"Make it two weeks," he said as he pressed the close button. With a small smile, she watched the doors close.
"New case," House announced as he walked into the differential room. His team, Doctors Cameron, Foreman, and Chase all looked up at him in surprise. It's been ages since they've had a good case and they knew Cuddy must have forced him into it.
"Hell must have frozen over," Chase smirked. House glared at him as he rudely threw the file at him. Chase had barely caught the file before it can hit him in the face.
"You can see for yourself while you check the patient's house, lab, and work after the differential." Chase groaned at the workload as House started listing the symptoms on the whiteboard.
"Are you sure he just doesn't have the flu?" Cameron asked as she read the chart.
"Of course he has the flu," House said.
"Then why don't we just dose him with Nyquil and send him home?" Foreman asked.
"Because not only does he have the flu, he had an allergic reaction to whatever he had in his lab."
"He's a professor at NYU. Whatever he has in his lab it can affect the students. Someone needs to get down there," Cameron explained.
House smirked at Chase. "Well what are you waiting for?"
"Arrogant bastard," Chase mumbled bitterly about House as he tried to pick the lock of the patient's home. He was exhausted. He had already searched the school including the patient's class and office. He hoped the lab was here too since he couldn't locate it at the school. After a while he finally managed to get in. The house was big and spotless and after a quick search he didn't find anything that would explain the seizure. It wasn't until he found a thick metal door that he had finally found the lab. He was impressed at the equipment he saw as he went down the stairs. It was a huge room with machines and counters and shelves full of different color glowing chemicals. Chase didn't have a doubt that one of those caused the seizure. There were even a couple of cells in the corner. Wondering what that was for he quickly grabbed a vile of a bright blue chemical and got out of there as fast as he can. He couldn't explain it but that lab gave him the creeps.
For the first time House actually decided to give the patient a visit. He was interested in his work. Dr. Archie Hamilton was well known for his research. Sometimes the experiments he did were cruel and unmoral. If anything he was like a mad scientist back in the day and now years later he was just a science professor and House wanted to know why after everything he accomplished he decided to teach know it all med students.
"Ah you must be Dr. House," the old man chuckled from the bed. He was thin and sickly looking.
"Well since we're stating the obvious you're Dr. Archie Hamilton aka mad scientist back in the day who conducted hundreds of cruel and unmoral experiments on just about anything. You were almost too good at your practice then so why did you decide to teach a bunch of snot nosed med students who can't tell from left to right?"
"You're smart Dr. House, but every great doctor needs to retire. I just got tired and resigned. Teaching the world's future leaders is what I now take pride in." House narrowed his eyes. He didn't trust this guy. His gut told him not to and his gut was always right. Something was up, something sinister and he was going to figure it out.
Chase ended up coming back from New York in the late afternoon. By the time he got to the lab to test the blue chemical, Cameron and Foreman we're already there, running a bunch of tests on what the patient might have. He had explained to them what he had the found, the lab, the strange machines, the cells, and the weird glowing chemicals. At first they had trouble believing it but when Chase pulled out the bright sky blue vile they looked at him in awe. Foreman looked a little freaked out while Cameron seemed to be interested.
"Wow, and he had a whole bunch of these?" she asked, putting on her glasses and taking the vile for a closer look.
"Yeah and in all different colors too," he said.
"Hey, Cameron be careful with that. We don't know what it can do to you," Foreman said cautiously as Cameron carefully put it down. For some reason she was memorized by it. She couldn't take her eyes off it. Foreman must have noticed because he instantly tried getting her attention.
"Cameron go check on the blood tests. Chase and I will take care of this." Disappointment clouded her eyes, but she didn't argue and went to the other side of the room to check on the blood tests she had done earlier.
"Alright so how do you want to do this?" Chase asked as they put on some goggles, gloves and some other protective gear.
"Before we try anything let me take a sample and put it under the microscope," Foreman explained. As soon as the slide was done, Foreman took a look and was amazed at what he saw. The liquid resembled human cells but they were almost alien like, dividing from each other at a rapid pace.
"Chase look at this," he said, moving aside so his colleague can take a look.
"Can I see?" Cameron, who had overheard, couldn't help but approach them.
"This is weird," Chase remarked as he looked up to give Cameron a chance.
"Remarkable," she mumbled to herself as Chase decided to experiment a little more.
"Let's see what happens when we mix it in with this," he said, putting a drop of one of the testing liquids on the slide and the moment that happened there was an explosion. As they were all being thrown across the room, not only did they feel hot energy surrounding their body but they each felt a different sensation. Cameron's eyes felt as if they were on fire since she wasn't wearing goggles. Chase's hands felt as if they were frozen in ice, and Foreman's muscles felt unbearably heavy. Pain erupted through their bodies and before they knew it, darkness overcame them.
