Bunker, December 23th, 2027.
He's made it... No. They made it. He still didn't know if it was luck or fate, well loosing most of what was left of your friend, healing a gut wound with a torch, and losing half his limbs after an intense fight certainly didn't smell like luck... at all.
But they made it.
The Bunker... it really wasn't anything that incredible, it didn't have a complex design, a two-man wide tunnel with many rooms, most were bedrooms but there was also a laboratory, an engineering room, an infirmary, a common room, a kitchen and a conference room at the very end of the tunnel.
Wade went to the engineering room first where he carefully placed Jade on one of the tables, his priority was to finish healing her of course but doing so with only one arm would be both stupid and dangerous, unfortunately, since he had no similar spare body parts, he needed to repair those he had, but it would need at least a week before they would work correctly, a week he didn't have. So he settled for pieces of an endoskeleton, liter than his body parts sure, but stripped off all the equipment he needed on the field, those limbs weren't as smooth looking as his "main" body parts but, hey, as they say, beggars can't be choosers.
When he was finished changing his parts he took Jade to the infirmary and lay her off on a gurney, and start examining her and felt relieved when he took off her bandage, to find out that her healing power had kicked in, and that the wound was only half the size it was a few hours ago, even the burn had healed and didn't leave any marks on her skin.
He starts applying some antiseptic on the wound, to wash it from any kind of infection it could have had been in contact with since she got stabbed, he stitches the wound with care, and covered it with a sterile patch of gauze, and applied on the gauze the green and jelly content of a small jar, on which you could read Panacea ex Caduceus#7
"Good."
But now that her wound was taken care off, he still had to change her clothes, and wash her from the dirt and dried blood, she was covered with. So he carried her to her room, took off her now ripped uniform, and carefully wash he body in the shower of her room.
Once the shower was done, and her body dried, he dresses her in a gown, and laid her on her bed, after a full scan and set some sensors in her room to check on her from time to time, he saw that her face wasn't giving any sign of pain anymore, and decided that she would be fine, went back to the engineering room, and sat in front of his computer.
A lot happened in the last 24 hours, the heist at Ground Zero, the arrival of a General, the death of Shego, the sacrifice of Drew, Drew's computer data, Jade's injury, the amount of Sentinel patrol on a small area, the presence of a SwordsMan's, the double use of the *emergency only* supercharge of his weapon, his broken body parts, the High-Frequency Blade...
He really had to work on an awful lot of stuff from that point, and as exhausted as he may feel at the moment, he knew that he couldn't have one of those nightmares, not yet.
So he decided to start with the most important thing first, the object of the heist, what both Lipskys had died for.
He put his hand against his right pectoral plate, which opened slowly after emitting a light blue glow and pick up a small metallic cylinder and looked at it.
"You sure gave us a lot of work back in the days" More to himself than to the object.
"I guess it is finally time for me to see if the Twins' theory was right, or if our hope is going to die because of you." He said extending his arm to place under the light, the Pan-Dimensional Vortex Inducer.
