Great news I binge watched all Chicago Fire now and I have just started Chicago Med. Unfortunately Will and Connor haven't been introduced yet in the time line of this story but I'll try to include the other doctors.
Dr Matthews is the main doctor. Sorry Severide you are stuck with him lol.
Dr Matthews wasn't wrong. The tests did run across the night. Casey and Dawson were struggling to keep their eyes open. They had work tomorrow. Casey didn't want to leave his friend behind but he needed sleep. After convincing Dawson, they both tell the nurse they are leaving and then they leave the hospital.
After the tests that felt like they were never-ending Severide gets placed in a room in the quietest part of Med like last time. The doctors hesitated wondering where to place the tiny lieutenant.
"Hey just put me on the bed." Severide says with a sigh.
"The bed is too big for you." Dr Choi says.
Gee you think I didn't notice. The lieutenant thought.
"Place him on the pillow." Dr Manning says.
Severide waves them off saving he can do it himself and steps on to the pillow. He lied on it and stares at the ceiling.
Dr Manning gives him a sympathetic look.
"I can't imagine what you must be going through."
"I don't think anyone can." Severide says with a frown.
"Let us know if you need anything okay."
Severide nods . The doctors leave. He lied there for a while before he started to drift off again. He suddenly jumps when the door opens and Dr Matthews walks in.
"Mr Severide."
His voice boomed across the room causing Severide to wince and cover his ears.
"Doc"
"My apologizes. I have your tests in."
Severide sat up now looking interested
"Well?"
"Your body rejected the medication."
"How?"
"At first it wasn't . You were growing returning to your original height but the medication was working too well. It should have taken weeks not days."
" I haven't OD. Telling the truth. "
"It's okay I seen the tests you haven't over dosed .It seems when you came off the meds, that's when your body immediately rejected the meds and those days you would have shrunk all built up and..."
"Hit me in one go."
"Exactly. I looked through brain scans, X Rays, blood tests, everything. Your cells are still the same and have you been this height all day?"
"Most of it yeah."
"Your body is having a break from the reverse development but eventually you are going to start shrinking again."
Severide stood up on the pillow looking horrified.
" What no doc there has to be a way. "
"From looking at the scans and I did get a second opinion I can't provide you a cure."
"W...What if I go back on the meds?"
"We could try that but you won't be able to come off them and with the fast growth rate you were experiencing." His eyes look up " I think that will cause problems. "
"I might shrink so much I won't exist."
Dr Matthews shakes his head . "Mr Severide. We will do everything we can to find a cure. At the moment we keep an eye on your progress. You should rest. Especially in your current condition. I'm sorry about the bedding we don't have beds for people who umm..."
"I get it. It's fine."
"Call if you need anything." He places a button next to the lieutenant "It will send a nurse. You can press it right? "
"I can jump on it. "
"Right okay. We'll keep you updated if we find anything."
The doctor nods and leaves the room. Severide lies back down but he couldn't rest. The thought of no cure worried him.
So I could be stuck like this .
He couldn't even consider that doll business either because eventually he will be smaller than a doll .The lieutenant gulps. Everything already is massive around him. Going smaller everything will be skyscraper size from his perspective. Casey, Dawson everyone else will be colossal.
The thought both disturbed and terrified him..
I'll never get back to being a fire fighter. I'm going to lose everything.
Severide turns on his side on the pillow and closes his eyes wishing that this was all a dream .
Severide's eyes open and he lets out a yawn. He stands up and immediately loses his footing. He yelps as he rolls down the big, puffy white hill and lands on to a thin white surface.
The lieutenant grumbles with annoyance and stands up. He frowns when he notices his clothes have gone big on him. He pulls on his shirt and tugs his jeans up.
How did they get so big?
It all came back to him .He looks down at his doll-size clothing that were now too big for him. Horror struck him as he looks round at his surroundings. Everything has increased in size. The bed reminded him of streets of complete fully covered snow.
The lieutenant panicked and ran over to the button. Yesterday he could step on it now he has to roll himself on to it. He jumps on the button but nothing happens. He jumps on it a few times but his tiny body was not strong enough to activate the button.
"I'm too small for it to work damm it."
Severide didn't want to sit round and wait for someone. He is desperate.
They can't come to me. I'll go to them.
The lieutenant grabs on to the sheet and slides down to the bottom. He looks at the door and sighs.
Now it's going to take longer to get there .
He took several breaths before he made a bee-line towards the door. Severide slumps forward in front of the door wheezing after that longest run he has ever experienced. After pulling up his jeans, he looks through the gap that is now definitely bigger for him to fit through .He was about to go when suddenly the door opens revealing a nurse.
"I brought food Mr Severide. I got a very small portion here. Just right for your size."
Severide waves his arms trying to get the nurse's attention.
"NURSE DOWN HERE."
The nurse frowns when she couldn't see the doll-size lieutenant on the bed.
"Mr Severide."
"DOWN HERE" He again yells but the nurse couldn't hear him .
One of the nurse's shoe goes up to take a step forward. She goes forward her shoe going straight down towards Severide.
