Crosshairs POV
Two days have passed. We can't tell if Jayce gave up trying to kill herself and won't harm herself. J.R. continued to deal with the pain from her wound, but it's easy to give her pain relief. Cade has looked at the wound twice a day, and it seemed to be healing, or so we thought...

I slept in Jayce's room to give Hound a break since J.R. sleeps all night. J.R. has been sleeping until ten, so I wasn't too worried, but I went into the room anyway. She was still sleeping but looked awful. J.R. looked pale and felt warm. I didn't want to wake her up, but I need to figure out what's wrong now. I returned to the room with Cade five minutes later. Jayce was sitting on her knees by the bed. She looked at us, concerned but not panicking. Where's Hound? I don't know if she'll be difficult.
"Something is wrong," Jayce says, scared.
So, she knows it's not a cold or the flu.
"I'm taking her to the medbay," Cade explains.
J.R. moaned as I picked her up. I know the pain relief wore off. It's concerning a moan is her reaction instead of telling me she's in pain.

Cade, Jayce, and I headed downstairs to the medbay. Hound was relaxing and watching T.V. Hound spotted us and tried to get Jayce to stop following us. "It's ok, Hound, let her," I tell him. He comes with us to the medbay. We're not sure if J.R. is asleep or very weak and is keeping her eyes closed. I laid her on the bed, Jayce stood on the other side and held J.R.'s hand as Cade put J.R. on the monitor. J.R. had a slightly elevated heart rate, low-grade fever, and is breathing a little faster than usual, but it's not noticeable just listening to her breathe.
"How did this even happen?" Hound asked.
"The knife she used wasn't clean. Even though Crosshairs has been taking care of the wound, infection is still possible three days after the wound occurred," Jayce explained. She was calm while explaining but had a concerned expression.
"J.R., you awake?" Cade asked. I assume he's trying to figure out how to deal with this. I know be doesn't want to wake her up. J.R. opened her eyes and looked at Cade, "I need to take care of the wound and see what kind of infection you have. I can give you the pain medicine, but I don't know how well that'll work," he explained. I know Cade is doing what's needed. He'd have a good reason for not giving J.R. something for her fever.
"I'm leaving, she will be uncomfortable, and I don't want to hear her cry," Jayce whispers to me before leaving.

Jayce POV
I know J.R. will be ok. We caught this early but, she's so uncomfortable, and there's little Cade can do to help with that while she's on antibiotics. Shot, how long do we need to wait to get them from Bulma? Then I realized, oh fuck.
"She was trying to bleed to death."
That's why the Autobots rushed me out of J.R.'s room two days ago. I thought she just wanted to cut herself.
"You got to her in time," I hear Hound behind me. I turned to face him, "you just said she used a dirty knife, and that caused the infection," he put a hand on my shoulder, "she'll be ok."
"What happened?" I jumped, hearing Drift's voice, "I'm alone, Jamie is still asleep. Now, what's going on?"
I insisted we go to my room to talk. We'd have a lot of explaining to do if Jamie finds out. I told Drift what's going on.
"...she might get what she wants."
"She wasn't concerned when she saw J.R.," Hound tells Drift, "she said we caught it early, and J.R. will be ok."
"J.R. will be ok," Drift assures, "I will see how she's doing."

Cade POV
I tried to get samples for Bulma to test, as I don't know how to do the test needed, but J.R. was becoming agitated. She feels like crap, but I knew from her moans she did not like this. I was expecting Crosshairs to yell at me to stop.
"All right, I'm done," I say and take out my phone, "Let's see if pictures are enough for Bulma to figure this out."
From what I'm seeing, this isn't serious, but I don't want to be wrong, and we find out this I serious as J.R. is dying.
"You'll be ok," Crosshairs assures J.R. as he covered her with a blanket when I finished taking pictures of the wound. The door opens, and we both jump worried it's Jamie.
"It's just me," Drift says as he walks over to the bed, "how is she?"
"Awful, but Cade couldn't get what he needed, so we're hoping some pictures are all Buma needs to figure out what type of infection she has." Crosshairs explain.
"Who asked 'what else can happen'?" I tried to lighten the mood, but they weren't pleased, "ok, sorry." I left the room, waiting for Bulma to contact me.

Drift POV
J.R. looked up awful, both Crosshairs and I worried this is serious and hated how Cade is waiting to hear from Bulma to start treatment. J.R. closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"So, even if this isn't serious, J.R. will still feel like shit for a few days," Crosshairs starts.
"She looks like she has the flu, that's what we will say if Jamie asks."
"She's missing some symptoms. I don't think a human can have the flu without coughing or a running nose," Crosshairs points out, "I don't think we can fool Jamie when it comes to anything medical."
Crosshairs is right, and Jamie might find out what's going on.
"J.R. is asleep, go back to Jamie," Crosshairs tells me.

I found Jayce sitting on the couch, scared.
"Jaimie will find out," Jayce fretted.
I put my hands on her shoulders, "calm down, and she won't."
Bumblebee tried to get Jayce to go upstairs to her room, but she ran to the medbay, Bumblebee followed her.

Crosshairs POV
The doors flew open as Jayce ran into the room towards me.
"Shh, calm down. J.R. is asleep," I had Jayce sit on my lap, "you said yourself she'll be ok, what changed that?"
"J.R. didn't want to harm herself; she was trying to bleed to death."
I sighed, "we know, we didn't want you to know. J.R. will be ok."
"She will be, Jayce," I hear Cade say as the door closed, "Bulma is certain this isn't a serious infection. She gave me a list of things to watch for."
Cade leaves the room; I assume he's headed to Bulma's dimension to get the antibiotics for J.R. One of the few things we don't have here. Though the medbay was more for Jamie's care during a flare-up, Jamie insisted on having a full medbay for both humans and Autobots. However, antibiotics are only for bacterial infections, which no one has gotten while here. Cade came back fifteen minutes later and started an I.V. for J.R.
"I will do this for today, and we'll see how she's feeling. I doubt she wants to move. This will take a half-hour."
"You sure you don't want to wait until she wakes up," I ask, worried J.R. will wake up.
"She will be asleep for a while," he says as he poked J.R. As I feared, she felt it but was too weak to move. She just moaned, I watched tears roll down her face, "you want me to stop?" Cade asked, thinking I was about to yell at him.
"No, keep going," I say as I get some tissues and wipe the tears from J.R.'s eyes, "it's ok, Cade is giving you medicine to help you." I stroked her forehead, hating how warn she felt.
Let this be a minor infection.J.R. fell asleep soon after Cade finished putting an IV in.
"Why do you have to be on the unusual side of things, J.R.?" Cade asks, "you, Jamie, and Jayce. This is a minor infection; she shouldn't be that sick."
"Are you sure it's minor, then?" "You want me to sedate her and get samples for Bulma?"
I feel like I'm questioning Bulma's knowledge if we do that, but this is unusual.
"No, we'll watch J.R. closely." With that, Cade left the room. I know J.R. will be asleep for a while, but I should stay here.

Drift POV
With Bumblebee and Hound staying with Jayce, I returned to Jamie's room and laid on the bed with her laying on top of me.
"It's about time you woke up," I joked as Jamie looked at me. My phone was vibrating, but I don't want to alarm Jamie.
"You will not see what that's about?"
"If it's important, they'll come in."
They wouldn't come in to tell me what's going in with J.R. I hate I have to lie to Jamie. The one time I want to keep Jamie in her room for a while is the time she can't wait to use the bathroom. Though I didn't know how long I would have her stay here. It should be fine as long as she doesn't go into the medbay.

Jamie POV
How strange Drift ignored either a call or a message. I don't know if Optimus would contact any of the Autobots via their cell phones, but it's odd Drift didn't see who is trying to contact him. I caught Cade heading towards a hallway where the medbay and weapons room. No need to get weapons so...shit, which one of them is unconscious now? Drift was busy making tea, and I know he won't let me go to the medbay, so I will have to go while he's distracted. I wasn't prepared for what I see. J.R. was unconcerned again, but she looked awful and needs medicine. "Jamie?" Cade exclaims.
I don't know what's wrong with J.R., but I fell to my knees and cried.

Jayce POV
It's been an hour since Crosshairs brought J.R. to the medbay. Cade must have heard back from Bulma by now. I want to know what we're dealing with. This was not what I expected.
"Jamie?" I exclaimed and ran to her though Crosshairs was already with her. He saw me, got up, and left the room.
Geez, Crosshairs, do you think Cade can't be with her for the minute it'll take you to get Drift? This isn't like Jamie at all. She'd investigate what she sees, not immediately panic.
"Jamie, you know you can't assume what's going in by what you're seeing," I say as I hugged her, "J.R. will be ok."
I'm worried about her mental state if she's frightened by what she sees. Course, seeing J.R. unconscious in here once and me twice before doesn't help.
"Jamie, it's ok, J.R. will be ok," Drift says as he sits on his knees beside me.
"This isn't like her. What are we going to do?" I asked, afraid we need to show her the wound and how J.R. has a minor infection. She knows how Jayce and I are often on the unusual end of things medically. Her entire medical history is rare but, if she's frightened now, then I think showing her will not help. She can't concentrate on J.R.'s energy either.
"Come on," Drift tried to pick Jamie 's shocking to see she's fighting him. It might not be the best way to get her to stop, but I forced her to the floor and pinned her down by the shoulders. I'd like to slap J.R., but that can wait a few minutes.

Drift POV
Our luck has run out. Jamie may not know what Jayce and J.R. have been dealing with for almost four months, but the fact she's terrified seeing J.R. in medbay isn't good.
"Let her go, Jayce."
I had my hands ready to keep Jamie from running off. She let me hug her.
"Shh, it's ok." She's still crying but calming down.
"Show her J.R. is ok," Jayce insisted.
They might be a good idea or frighten Jamie even more. Still hugging Jamie, I stood up and walked to the monitor. Though J.R.'s heart and respiratory rate were still slightly elevated, Jamie should understand this doesn't mean J.R. is critical. I don't want to show her the wound. I stood by the bed for a minute before carrying Jamie out of the room.
Sitting on the couch with Jamie on my lap, I tried to get her to stop crying. Crosshairs sits next to me five minutes later with Jamie's water bottle.
"Here, you need to drink some water," he says as he hands her the bottle. She had a little drink.

Cade POV
I can't believe how terrified Jamie is from seeing Jayce and J.R. unconscious in the medbay, but why? With her extensive medical knowledge, this makes little sense. Something else has to be bothering her. Jayce is bothered by how frightened Jamie is and not about J.R.
"Jayce, how is J.R.'s energy?" I asked.
"As it should be even with her elevated heart and respiratory rate. I don't understand why Jamie is reaching like this," she says and hugs me.
