The Third Eye
Summary: Going blind once was bad enough for them but going blind again was going to be a nightmere. Takes place after the epidsode "The Third Eye". It's just an averge day after a mission but when things start to go wrong will they hold? This is a fic based on the episode "The Third Eye". This is an alternate ending that I thought of. So don't kill me.
The amulet that controlled Marvin and Beatrice exploded in the air. The spirits of the seers vanished. Martin, Marvin and Diana let out a huge sigh of relief. Diana rubbed her eyes. "That's better. I can see again." She looked around and noticed Marvin and Martin rubbing their eyes. "What about you two?" Marvin got up off his feet and looked around.
"I'm good. I'm glad I can see again." He smiled. Together he and Diana looked at Martin who was still rubbing his eyes. "What about you?"
"I'm fine," Martin replied slipping on some sunglasses.
"Cool, let's get out of here. You got the book Martin?" Diana asked. Martin nodded and put a hand on Diana's shoulder. "What are you doing?"
"I just feel tired, that's all." He gripped her shoulder for dear life.
"Good work agents." M.O.M said. They all got in her white limo.
"I like it in here," Diana commented, "Where do you get one of these?"
"Not on your allowence Di. Besides, you couldn't get a date with it anyway." Martin laughed histrically. Diana clentched her fist and clobbered Martin on the back of the head. "Ow...hey! It was just a joke!"
"Next time I won't be so gentle!" M.O.M rolled her eyes at there childish antics and glared at Marvin.
"Agents were here." M.O.M spoke. Diana and Martin got out of the car but M.O.M pulled Marvin back in.
"M.O.M how come you're not letting Marvin come with us?"
"He's going to be relocated. He made a deadly mistake. Good day agents." M.O.M's limo left Martin and Diana alone.
"I bet you're just jumping for Joy in that small brain of yours," Diana snapped.
"I'm not actually." Martin replied drifting off into thought again. He fingered his sunglasses but didn't remove them.
"What are you hiding?" Diana looked at Martin suspiciously. "I bet your pretending to be cool."
"Yeah Di, I'm not pretending to be cool. I am cool!" Martin laughed and ran away from Diana who started to chase him angrily.
Later that night Martin washed his face and eyes. He looked in the mirror which went blurry for a second. He sighed and thought that it might be exhaustion taking it's toll on him. He crawled into bed, a headach soon coming to him. He rolled over on to his stomach but still sleep didn't come to him. He got up and went to the bathroom. He took a tylonal and climbed back into bed. It took a few minutes but the medication kicked in allowing Martin to sleep.
Morning came too soon for the blonde. He heard all the noises of the morning. He opened his eyes just as the door creaked open. Someone must have turned on the lights, thought the blonde. "Man...my head."
"Martin get out of your bed."
"Di, turn the lights off for a second." Martin moaned and rolled over closing his eyes. "They're killing my eyes.
Diana was shocked. She hadn't even turned the lights on. She walked up to Martin and placed a hand on his shoulder worried. "Martin...are you okay?"
"I just have a headach. That's all." Martin pushed himself up. "Can you off?"
"They are off."
"What? No they're not." Martin closed his eyes again, "Turn them off." He sank back down onto his bed and covered his face with a pillow.
"Martin we should go to the centre."
"For what?"
"To ask M.O.M where she's put Marvin," Diana thought of quickly, "To see if it's really horrible." Martin smiled and put sunglasses over his eyes. He ripped them off as soon as he put them on.
"Now it's too dark!" He complained and pulled on his shirt. Diana was quick to switch it around. He managed to get his pants on easily enough. Now his shoes, those Diana put on. "There. Ready to go?" Martin nodded and led Martin into the centre after opening a portal. Java would be coming back soon and would probably be waiting in the centre.
They entered the centre.
Martin Mystery...clear
Diana Lombard...clear
Martin smiled at Diana, or meant to but ended up not smiling at anyone. Diana slipped some sun glasses on Martin's face and saw Billy coming. "Look, here comes Billy." Martin nodded.
"I know. I see him." Diana let out a sigh of relief in her mind. I'm still going to talk to M.O.M about this. She knew it was the right thing to do. Diana sighed again, this time out loud.
"What was that for sis?" Martin asked curiously. "Some thing wrong?"
"No. Just thinking about how lame you can be." She smirked and they entered the tube that would take them to M.O.M.
"So how's it going?" Billy asked.
"I had a major headach last night, other then that I'm fine." Martin high fived the green alien. He waited as the door opened. Diana pulled Billy aside.
"Billy could you take Martin to your room or somewhere to do something. I need to discuss something with M.O.M."
"Sure." He smiled and talked to Martin a sec before the blonde followed. Diana walked into M.O.M's office and saw she was typing away at her computer.
"What is it Diana?" M.O.M asked not looking at her. "Well...I don't have all day."
"M.O.M can you have your doctors look at Martin? I think something is really wrong with him." M.O.M's attention was directed toward Diana now. "I went to wake him up this morning, I didn't even turn on the lights and he asked me to turn them off. It was wierd and I don't think it was a prank. Can you?"
"Alright. I'll have the medics take care of him." M.O.M pressed two buttons on her computer, "Agent Mystery report to infirimy asap." Diana thanked M.O.M and headed for the infirmiry. She met the doctor outside of Martin's room, which he was now in, being held down seeing as how he was trying to get out. Java had no troubles holding Martin down.
"What is the problem Miss Lombard?" The doctor asked. Diana told him about the mission and how Martin was acting strange the morning after it. She explained how he had complained about the lights when they weren't even on. The doctor nodded and entered the room. Diana chose to stay out. "Mr. Mystery calm down."
"Calm down? I DON'T EVEN WANT TO BE IN HERE AGAIN!"
"Mr. Mystery please. We are just going to run a few tests, shouldn't take more then six hours or so. Until then please change into these and just rest up. I can see, from your right eye twitching that you have a headach." Martin seemed to get even more riled up.
"Let me leave!" Diana stepped into the room. "Martin-"
"MARTIN MYSTERY CALM DOWN!" M.O.M stepped in, "I ordered these tests. I want all of you involved in the last mission to get the same tests done. That means Marvin comes back for now. He will be staying in the school for now until he can be relocated agian." Martin let out a sigh and Diana a high pitched squil. M.O.M, the doctor, Billy and Java covered their ears.
"Heh heh...sorry." The doctor led Diana into a seperate room and ordered the others out. He gave Martin a strong pill for sleeping that the centre had developed. It saved on using IVs.
Diana lay on a bed in the centre. She was quietly thinking about the tests they had done and she wondered why they did such a precise test on her eyes, but then again she did tell M.O.M about Martin. He seemed to be having a bad time with them. Diana sighed inwardly and looked at the clock.
"Seven thirty five." She sighed again, "This is going to take forever."
"What's going to take forever?"
"The test results." Diana smiled at her company. Marvin stood there in white pants and t-shirt while Diana wore the white dress the centre gave. "I wonder how Martin is doing?"
"He's asleep. The doctor gave him something for the headach he had." Marvin sat down in a chair, "I think I screwed up."
"Why do you say that?"
"Martin told me to put down the necklace but I didn't."
"It had you in a trance. Don't worry about it." Diana placed a hand on his arm and gently squeezed, "So what was it like to test that board. I know Martin was pretty jelous."
"He was jelous of me? That's interesting." Marvin smiled, "Should I keep doing it?"
"No." Diana replied, "Not for a while." The two got into a long conversation about this and that. By the time 1:50 rolled around the two had had a long conversation and found they had a lot in common. The doctor came in with test results.
"Good news and bad news."
"Good news first." Diana sat up.
"Good news is that neither of your eye sight has been affected and you both have twenty twenty vision.
Diana was almost afraid to ask but did anyway. "And Martin?"
"Mr. Mystery, what can I say...I hate telling people this. Please follow Miss Lombard. Would you like Marvin to come?" Diana gave a curt nod.
"What were you doing for six hours?" she finally asked.
"We were looking at the results and tyring to find a solution to stop the process."
"Process?" They stepped into Martin's room. He was still asleep. The doctor quickly but gently shook the blonde awake. With a moan Martin opened his eyes.
"Hey guys. What's going on?" Martin looked at the three of them, "What's he doing here?"
"Don't be so rude Martin!" Diana yelled, "Now doctor please tell me."
"Well, both of your eyes are fine." Diana glared at him, "But I'm afraid that by this time tomorrow around 7 pm your brother here will be..."
"Be what?" Martin asked nervously.
"I'm afraid Mr. Mystery that around 7 pm tomorrow your eye sight will start to detiriorate. By the next five hours after 7 pm your eyesight will slowly fade and be gone." Martin seemed to grow pale and his hands were shaking. Diana and Marvin, even though he was huge rival of Martin's, still felt sorry for him.
"What caused it."
"On your last mission when you blinded Mr. Mystery came out with more of the spell. It has seemed to write itself into his DNA and also his eyes were weak to begin with. Even though he's never worn glasses it was still very fragile." Diana looked at Martin, his face was unreadable for the first time ever. "I'll leave you three alone." The doctor left the room.
"Martin?" she sat down by his bed and put a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm going to go blind?"
"Martin..."
"I'm going to go blind."
"Martin..."
"Oh well!" He said with a large smile. There was nothing in that smile. "It's not like I-" shock still hadn't left the blonde. Marvin looked at Martin, he looked so weak for the first time since Marvin had seen him. He looked at himself in the mirror.
I could have been him. Marvin let out a sigh, "Listen Martin. You're not going to give up." Martin looked up in surprise then looked down.
"Looks like you won." Martin layed down and closed his eyes, "Leave me alone. Everyone." Diana stood up and walked toward the door. Marvin had left the room already feeling really low. Diana closed the door and looked and looked at her step-brother throgh the window. He looked so...it was hard to tell at this point.
