Suddenly, Sara noticed something. Jax's eyes were a striking cobalt blue. And there was matching blue liquid spilled all over the floor, too.

"What happened?"

LOT

Firestorm paced over to Rip, his fire blazing. "I broke free." He said, in a voice quite unlike his own.

"What-who are you? What have you done to Jax?" Rip exclaimed.

"I have found a new caretaker. He is powerful. He wishes to be free of my infection." It said.

"Infection? Caretaker? What-why'd you do that to Ray?" Kendra angrily asked.

"My caretaker disliked him."

"What?!" Kendra screeched, a furious sound. But then her face changed from fury to saddened shock. "Oh. Oh no no no. It's my fault, it's all my fault." She rushed down the hall, to the medbay.

"You attacked Ray because he didn't like him too much. Does that mean you follow his orders or wishes?" Sara asked.

"I control my caretaker. But he feels weak and helpless. He is unusable. I am in need of a stronger caretaker." It suddenly disappeared.

"Oh. Teleportation. Cause that's fair." Sara sarcastically said. Rip was already racing to the medbay. No wait, he was disappearing into his room. What?

"Hello. You will be my new caretaker." It was saying to Len as Sara entered the room. It suddenly unmerged and Stein and Jax fell to the floor. It was now a blue holograph-like being, quite like Gideon. Kendra ran over and helped Stein up but turned as soon as she heard it.

Len was roaring as It tried to enter his head. Rip finally ran into the medbay with a large green syringe in his hand. He ripped open a small hole in Leonard's sweater to a big opening, big enough for the syringe. He then shoved it into Snart's arm and then it was It that was roaring. It flashed green and red as the being tried to puncture Snart's brain. The team could only watch and hope as he battled, man vs. machine.

"Malfunction. Xerodite in specimen. Initiating protocol 4B8, retreat." It said as it disappeared again.

"I'm confused." Jax said as he got up from the floor. "The hell was that? And why do I remember nothing since you guys left for 2008?" The team looked at each other uneasily.

"Jax, um, you were infected with an unknown alien substance. It consumed your body, attacked Mr. Palmer," Rip gestured to Ray's damaged body on the medbay cot, "and your alienated body proceeded to then attempt infecting Mr. Snart. Speaking of him, Mr. Rory, could you bring Mr. Snart to another medbay room please?" Mick proceeded to do so with a grunt. Jax shook his head.

"Aw, man Ray's gonna be so mad at me! We were just talking and I go and attack him?" Jax walked out of the room, with Stein following him. They could hear him attempting to comfort Jax.

"Rip? What's xerodite?" Sara questioned. "It said that it couldn't infect Len with that." Rip opened and closed his mouth multiple times.

"Rip? What'd you do to Snart?" Kendra raised her eyebrows as she walked towards him.

"I saved him. While also possibly.." Rip trailed off. "Infecting him with another alien substan-" Rip was cut off by Sara punching him in the jaw.

"You don't know what that will do to him, do you?" Sara dangerously asked. When Rip didn't reply she grabbed her two metal staffs from her white leather jacket and held them up threateningly.

"Alright, alright! He should just be unconscious for about... A couple days." Rip quickly said. Sara released a breath of relief as she lowered her metal staffs.

"Fine. I'll be in my room if anyone needs me." Sara turned and walked out of the medbay.

"Sara? Can I talk to you?" Kendra nervously asked.

"Sure. What do you need?"

"He's going to be fine." Sara froze in her steps. As she paused, she thought of Ray and Kendra.

"What would you do?"

"Excuse me? You mean with Carter?" Kendra looked confused.

"No, I mean with Ray." Sara smirked a little. Kendra paused.

"I'd do whatever it takes to make sure he's alive." She said, looking Sara straight in the eye.

"I've been doing that. But for now, I'm going to bed. You coming?" Sara asked.

"Yeah. Just gonna ask Gideon for a sedative. I've been having these weird dreams." Sara nodded and continued down the hall. As she walked into her room she saw a patch of frost on the wall. She knew exactly what she'd be dreaming about.
