J.R. wakes up Ninety minutes later. She laid on the bed and looked at Jayce, still asleep.
"She does this every day," Hound says.
"Wouldn't surprise me if she still feels terrible for what she did that gave Jayce shit to deal with. She's probably wondering if Jayce woke up at all last night and how bad she'll be feeling today," Crosshairs says before going to sit next to her. He tries to get J.R. to drink a bottle of nutrition drink, but she refuses. Bulma walks into the room and isn't liking how J.R. doesn't want to drink. Crosshairs tells her to leave J R. alone; it's only eight-thirty in the morning, so he wasn't too worried yet. He stayed with J.R. while the others talked in the hallway. Of course, Bulma didn't like hearing about J.R.

"You think Jayce would be the same way if she wasn't dealing with the headache and dizziness?" Hound asks.
"Most likely, yes," Bulma sighed. Drift walks back into the room. Hound sighed as he watched Drift go back into the room.
"Something is bothering him, besides what's been going on, and I wouldn't be surprised if Crosshairs is also thinking about whatever Drift is."
"Maybe we can get them to talk later. Though we know, they're thinking about the girls but not specifically if it's something different from what they have been thinking."
"After watching J.R. last night, I don't think they want to leave the girls alone for long. Damn it."
"And I know they want to see Jamie, especially Drift. There's really nothing I can do to help them besides what we've been doing."
They didn't know Vegeta was standing behind them, listening to them until he walked by them and into the room.

Bulma and Hound go in soon afterward. Drift was sitting in the chair next to Jayce's bed.
Strange she's sleeping this late, but I know it's good for her.
"I'm going back. Here, I had a feeling you'd need this," Bulma says, handing Drift a syringe. "The quick painkiller." She walks out of the room; Vegeta follows Bulma back to her lab and goes with her to Cade's dimension.

Bulma tells Bumblebee and Cade about the girls without him even asking. As usual, they both hate what they're told and know there's nothing more Bulma can do. She says nothing about the blood test, and Cade doesn't bother asking.
"Damn it; with Bulma back and Jamie stable, I'm going back to her dimension."
Of course, Cade tells Bulma in case she'd rather he'd stay after doing the blood test, but Bulma has no problem with him or Bumblebee leaving.
She'll be fine, and I doubt you'll be long like the others usually are.
"You didn't tell them the blood test results?" Vegeta asks.
"I will tell them later when Crosshairs and Drift can leave the girls alone. Hound thinks there's something bothering them besides what's been bothering them the past month. Obviously, about the girls."
Vegeta doesn't ask her to tell him the test results before sitting by Jamie and taking her hand.
Come on, I know you're a fighter.

"What are you doing here?" Hound asks when Cade walks into the room. "You know Jayce and J.R. do nothing all day."
"Hoping to get Crosshairs and Drift to go back and see Jamie," Cade whispers.
"Good luck with that. After last night and how the girls are doing this morning, they will not leave. Crosshairs finally got J.R. to drink a bottle of the nutrition drink. Jayce woke up fifteen minutes ago and feels like shit. Bulma gave Drift a syringe with the fast-acting painkiller, but like J.R., Jayce is refusing to drink, and that painkiller lasts only an hour."
Jayce gives in fifteen minutes later, even though she's still feeling terrible.
Damn it, ten days of this.
Crosshairs knew she was watching Jayce and how she really hated what she did. Like everyone else, he hated how Jayce is, even if it distracted both of them from worrying about Jamie. Jayce had to lie down fifteen minutes later but refused to take the painkillers that last awhile.
I thought she was getting better. If this is how she feels without painkillers, damn it.

Drift wasn't surprised that Jayce fell asleep fifteen minutes later. Cade takes this as an opportunity to get Crosshairs and Drift to go back to his dimension and see Jamie. Between him and Hound insisting on them going and assuring that Jayce and J.R. would be fine for a couple of hours, Crosshairs and Drift finally agreed to go back.

Vegeta stood next to Bulma, sitting at the table when Crosshairs and Drift walked into the building. He insisted Bulma leaves the building with him.
"You going to eavesdrop?" She asks once they are a suitable distance from the building
"No, leave them with Jamie for a while. It's getting harder for them to come here without worrying about Jayce and J.R. It Would be great if they stayed for the day."

Cade got J.R. to go watch some TV to distract her, but by noon, she's had enough of the TV. Cade takes her back into the room. J.R. sits on the chair by Jayce's bed. Jayce is still sleeping.
"I thought Drift gave her a quick fix?" Cade whispers.
"He did. Though usually, Jayce has the painkillers that make her want to sleep. Between the headache, dizziness, and feeling depressed, I think she just wants to sleep. Bulma says it's good for her, so I wouldn't be too worried."

"Should we go back?" Drift asks Crosshairs. Crosshairs could tell from Drift's voice that he really didn't want to go back.
"The others know to contact us if there's a problem." Crosshairs replies. Drift knew it was true and could tell, like him, Crosshairs didn't want to leave. By now, Bulma was back to her work on her laptop, though Vegeta insisted she stay out of the building until Crosshairs and Drift left. He knew there was a system in place in case Jamie declined. Crosshairs looked over towards the table to see if Bulma came back.

He stood up, walked to the table, and sat on a chair next to her.
"Are we in your way?" He whispered.
"No, It's fine. I know you two want to be with Jamie. You know that there's not much that's done to care for Jamie. Though I assume, like Cade, you guys want to wait until she recovers to learn about all this. I know you guys know how to care for her when she has a mild flare-up, though I also assume Jayce took care of that."
"No, we were lucky that Jamie didn't need much care."
"Not really lucky. Like I said, I kept the severe flare-ups to a minimum. The last one was eight years ago. Did you tell Drift what I told you about what Jamie went through recovering from when Vegeta tried to kill her?"
"No, he already hates seeing how critical Jamie has been the past thirty-one days. I know he'll hate seeing her slipping in and out of conciseness if that'll happen and to have him think about that among the other things on his mind."
"And yours. I know you two have been thinking about the girls. Something new is bothering both of you. Am I right?"
Crosshairs sighed and looked over at Drift.
"Nevermind, you both can tell me when you both want to," Bulma assures him. She would like to know, but fine with her if they didn't want to tell anyone. She had her suspension about what new thing was bothering them. Crosshairs went back to Jamie. Drift is getting more upset the longer he stays with Jamie, but it's what he wanted, so Crosshairs didn't bother getting him to go back to the girls.
I know they both want to stay here but worry about leaving Jayce and J.R. with the others for long, even though they can take care of the girls.
Bulma watched the two mechs before returning to her work. Bumblebee walks in five minutes later and sits on the chair beside Bulma. By now, he wasn't bothered by how he couldn't say anything when using his holoform. Like Cade, he was too worried about Jamie to leave Jamie. It's not like he could do anything the others aren't to help Jayce and J.R.

Another two hours passed; Crosshairs and Drift are still torn between staying with Jamie and getting back to Jayce and J.R., especially with the way J.R. has been the past three days. They knew Jayce would most likely be sleeping but knew she could get upset like J.R. that the two mechs have been gone all day. Vegeta has been with Jamie for the past two hours and knew Crosshairs and Drift were debating going back to Jayce and J.R.

J.R. is happy that Crosshairs and Drift are with Jamie, but also want them to come back. By now, Jayce was awake and knew Crosshairs and Drift were with Jamie. Cade was now debating on getting Crosshairs and Drift before either of the girls get upset, especially J.R. bur he knew it was a challenge for Crosshairs and Drift to see Jamie.
I'll give them a couple more hours.

By five p.m., J.R. was getting worried that Crosshairs and Drift were not coming back for a couple of days. She could tell Jayce was getting worried, and of course, that Jayce was uncomfortable.
I made her worse by bringing her with me to Jamie's dimension, but I know she wants Crosshairs and Drift too.

Cade and Hound stood in the hallway, talking about if they should get Crosshairs, but got distracted by J.R. running out of the room. Cade ran after J.R., and Hound went back into the room. Hound found Jayce sitting on the edge of the bed but clearly feeling too dizzy to follow J.R.
"She's really upset," Jayce says before holding her head in her hand. Hound heard her mumble that she also wants Crosshairs and Drift and that Hound should go help Cade. She knew how difficult J.R. has been. Hound gets her to lie down before going to see if Cade needs help. He had a feeling J.R. most likely triggered an emotional seizure with how upset she gets.

I hate how I'm right. Hound watches Cade walk back to the room, carrying J.R.
"I can't believe she gets this upset," Cade says.
"Both of them do, but normally not enough to trigger a seizure. Just enough that Crosshairs and Drift have to give in and use drugs to get them to sleep. It's been a challenge. They've both been getting worse as this shit continues."
"What the hell?" They heard Crosshairs. Crosshairs took J.R. from Cade and brought her to another room, knowing Jayce would end up upset seeing the way J.R. is. Drift peeked into the room and saw Jayce was fine before going to the room Crosshairs went to.
Cade followed to see if he could help Crosshairs and Drift. Hound went back into the room and saw Jayce trying to get out of bed. He watched her sit on the edge of the bed for a minute before laying on her stomach and covering her head with a pillow. He could hear her crying through the pillow.
I know you're tired of feeling like crap. I don't understand why you refuse to take painkillers.

"Unbelievable, she thought we left for days. We should have come back sooner," Drift sighed, looking at J.R. As always, after a seizure, she's quiet and tired.
"She was fine until ten minutes ago," Cade says as he walks into the room,"is she ok?"
J.R. had her head resting on a shoulder and hugging Crosshairs.
"Yeah, she's always quiet and tired afterward," Crosshairs says, "I don't know what's worse, this or panic attacks. The girls are struggling."
"I don't even want to know how bad Jayce is. You saw how fast they can go from being ok to not, Cade," Drift says as he gets up and leaves the room.

Drift knew Jayce would be upset, knowing J.R. ran out of the room and knowing what can happen when J.R. gets upset. Drift didn't think Jayce would try to get to J.R. but was too dizzy to go anywhere. He sat on the chair beside the bed. He didn't expect Jayce to look to see who's next to her, nor did he expect for her to move onto his lap even though she's dizzy and had a headache. Like J.R., Jayce rested her head on Drift's shoulder. Cade and Hound watched them, seeing how uncomfortable and upset Jayce was and how Drift seemed to be mad at himself for not coming back sooner.

"I really hope those two aren't beating themselves over not coming back sooner." Cade whispers, "They needed to be with Jamie. I was hoping to get them to go back in an hour, but I doubt it now."
"Then it's our turn to be with Jamie. I doubt they'll be able to get away from the girls for a few hours."
Cade and Hound both go back to Cade's dimension.

"Damn it, I want to check on them. I'm getting concerned about J.R. I can wait a bit. I need to take care of Jamie." Bulma says before going to get what she needs to take care of Jamie.

"J.R. didn't just tell you she wanted to come back here, did she?" Hound says as he and Cade walk out of the building.
"No, she told me how she's tired of all this. She doesn't think I know what's been going on with them. I know she didn't finish before..you know."
"I'm worried they will harm themselves again."
"You don't think they'd try to-?"
"No, I think they'd pull the plug before doing that. You know, Jamie's barely holding on. Though I think they're too scared to even come here and do it., I think even if we told them what Vegeta did, even if we told them that Jamie is improving when she does or even showed them, they'd still have little hope that she'd recover until she gets to the point where she can't decline."
"Which it's going to be weeks before that happens."
"Most likely." Bulma sighs as she walks up to them. "Jayce most likely could recover from Post-Concussion Syndrome before that, and you know how much more of a challenge she'll be."
"Great." Cade slides his hand down his face.

Crosshairs knew Jayce is upset just by seeing Drift holding her while sitting on a chair and that she was feeling dizzy since she was resting her head on his shoulder.
Wouldn't surprise me if she is worried about J.R.
He got J.R. to sit on the bed and drink before helping Drift get Jayce to take some painkillers. She wouldn't let Drift lay her on the bed. Crosshairs sat next to J.R. The two mechs looked at each other, knowing that they'd need to talk.
