Hey all,

Thank you all for the reviews, favourites and follows.

I was meant to update yesterday but got a little busy, whoops. But anyway: How gross was that spider?! I was expecting a little spider or something, not that great big thing! A little poisonous spider will be used in this, not the one onscreen.

Two hours since the spider incident, Ethan started to feel less worried about his bite since he felt fine and wasn't poisoned. He didn't develop any spider powers either so that proved to Ethan that Spider-Man is just fictional but people can dream.

Ethan stood in a cubicle, giving antibiotics to a patient before discharging them.

"Two of these each day and that infection should clear up." Ethan smiled as he handed the patient the pharmacy bag. He walked away and closed the curtains so the patient had some privacy to get dressed into their normal clothes.

Ethan was walking till he felt something: Heat. He was confused. Why did it suddenly get hot? He was sweating. Ethan placed the folder down on the nurse station and headed to the bathroom quickly and washed his face with cold water. He rolled up his sleeve to reveal his bite has now turned yellow. Ethan was confused. Was his bite infected? Ethan rolled his sleeve back down and headed back out.

A little while later, Cal was searching the ED for Ethan till he found him at the desk outside resus looking at an X-Ray on the iPad. He walked over.

"Nibbles. You coming pub tonight?" Cal asked positively. His smile went when he didn't get an answer from Ethan. "Ethan?" Cal tapped Ethan on the shoulder, causing Ethan to jump slightly. "Hey jumpy." Cal tried to joke but saw Ethan's sweating face. "You okay? You're sweating."

"It's just hot." Ethan panted as he shut the iPad and got up. Cal stood in front of him.

"You're wearing long sleeves, I'm not surprised. Why don't you take it off?" Cal asked as Ethan placed both hands on the desk to keep him up.

"I-I-I can't." Ethan spoke. He felt like he couldn't breath.

"What do you mean you can't? You never wear long sleeves with your scrubs." Cal queried.

"I-I-I-" Ethan was cut off by Cal.

"Ethan, are you alright?" Cal asked, placing a hand on Ethan's back. Charlie, who was near the brothers turned his head and his heard Cal's concerned voice. Ethan started to breath shallow breaths before collapsing slowly. Cal quickly grabbed him. "Ethan!" Cal lowered Ethan's body to the floor. Charlie ran over to the boys and kneeled down.

"What happened?" Charlie asked.

"I don't know. He complained about it being hot then he just collapsed." Cal answered as he looked at Ethan's unconscious state.

"Okay, shall we get him into the resus?" Charlie asked whilst he stood as he pointed to resus with his hand. Cal nodded before placing Ethan in a bridal carry and headed into resus with Ethan's head bobbing slightly side to side. Charlie held a door open for Cal. Cal quickly walked over to a trolley and placed Ethan on it. Connie turned her head and noticed this. She walked over.

"Dr Knight, what's happened?" Connie asked sounding professional in front of other patients.

"He said he was hot and then just passed out." Cal answered whilst placing his stethoscope on Ethan's chest. "His heart rate is a little slow." Cal stated as he threw his stethoscope around his neck.

"Has he taken anything, Cal?" Connie asked Cal. He couldn't take his eyes off Ethan. "Cal?" Cal finally noticed Connie and answered.

"No, I don't think so." Cal answered. He was ready to give up till he noticed something: a red-yellow spot stain on Ethan's sleeve. Cal rolled up the sleeve to reveal a bite "Mrs Beauchamp?" Cal got Connie's attention as she looked at Ethan's wound.

"What is that?" Connie asked. Cal couldn't think of an answer till he remembered.

Flashback

"Science project?" Cal asked as he walked next to Ethan holding a spider in the glass and magazine

"Nope, just being a knight in shining armour." Ethan answered with a smirk then walked out the ED with the spider.

"Spider bite." Cal whispered, looking down at the floor with his eyes. Connie looked out him.

"What was that, Dr Knight?" Connie asked. Cal looked up at Connie

"Earlier, Ethan was carrying a spider out of the ED. It must of bit him." Cal answered. Connie then thought.

"Cal, do you know what spider it was? What did it look like?" Charlie asked.

"I'm not sure. I looked at it for a second." Cal answered. At this point Robyn walked in and noticed Ethan on the trolley. Charlie walked over to her.

"Charlie? What happened? Is Ethan okay?" Robyn asked worriedly.

"We're not sure Robyn. He was bit by a spider but we aren't sure what it was." Charlie sighed.

"Was it the spider from the staff room earlier?" Robyn asked. Charlie looked at her with confusion. "There was a spider there earlier and Ethan collected it and took it out the ED." Robyn stated.

"Robyn, this is really important: do you remember what it looked like?" Charlie asked. Positive for hope.

"It was black and quite tiny." Robyn answered.

"Did it have a bit of red on it?" Charlie asked.

"No, it had white on it." Robyn answered.

"Thank you Robyn." Charlie smiled and walked back over to Connie and Cal. "I think he was bitten by a false widow." Charlie looked at Connie. Cal was about to speak till they heard the door open, revealing Lily with a tiny plastic box. Everyone stared at her.

"I think you might need this." Lily smiled as she took the box over to the counter and opened the lid slightly as Charlie looked in it. Revealing the spider that bit Ethan.

"How did you know?" Cal asked as he still stood by Ethan's side.

"I was there. I saw Ethan get bit. After he walked into the ED, I went over and collected the spider just in case." Lily answered.

"We have a better idea of what we are dealing with now. Well done Dr Chao." Connie spoke. "Can you call the National Poison Unit and tell them we require Anti-venom for a steatoda species?" Connie asked Lily. Lily nodded and grabbed the phone. "Cal. You can stay but you are here as a relative, not a doctor. Got it?" Connie asked. Cal nodded.

"I thought Spiders don't attack unless provoked?" Cal asked.

"Usually they would but this just doesn't make sense. Ethan didn't provoke it." Lily answered.

"Let's not worry about that now. We will get the anti-venom, antibiotics for the infection and then monitor him for the next 24 hours." Connie spoke then walked away. Cal walked after her.

"Is the anti-venom necessary? False widow spiders surely aren't that bad?" Cal asked. Connie stopped and faced him.

"Until Ethan comes round, we are not sure of his condition. I would rather have the anti-venom down here and not need it." Connie spoke then continued to walk away whilst Cal stood there, exhaling a deep breath before walking back over the Ethan and grabbing his hand.

Going to end it here. Hope this chapter was okay. I was thinking of doing a POV for the next chapter.

I know infections don't happen that quickly but I don't want this story to drag and I'm not an expert of treatment for spider bites. Most the websites say to just wash the bite but I wanted to shake it up a little.

Anyway, see you all in the next chapter : )
