(Grace's PoV/Flashback)

Grace had already met with Jake after he ran out, due to his delight of finally being able to walk again, and figured that he adjusted to his Avatar body rather well. Just as she was going to continue speaking to him and Norm, after he caught up with them, Grace started to wonder where Kagome was but figured the new girl stayed behind to further adjust to her Avatar body.

It was then that one of the staff members came running up to her, oxygen mask over their face to allow them to breath Pandora's toxic air. Their expression looked almost panicked but clearly worried.

"Grace!"

"What's going on?" Grace asked as her expression grew confused while Jake and Norm grew curious.

After the staff member caught their breath, he spoke up, "It's the new recruit, Kagome! She just suddenly collapsed and her human body's heart rate went through the roof and flat lined!"

"WHAT?" the look of disbelief crossing Grace's face. A thing like this has never happened before, so why now.

Grace ran until she was back inside in-front of Kagome's matching, she was still in her avatar too. She saw what she had no understanding of. A flat line. Kagome Higurashi was dead.

"What about her avatar?" Grace called out, she was trying not to panic. This is something in all her time here, has never accrued.

"She is still alive in her avatar body, but just unconscious." One of the doctor's informed her. Grace took a breath of relief.

"Alright then. All we have to do is wait for her to wake up." Grace said, voice even, thought it wasn't how she felt. She was still a little shaken up, but she couldn't let the others know that.

Sighing Grace made her way to the observation room, she was going to wait for Kagome to wake up. That is all she could do right now..

All she could do is wait.

Grace sighed, it had been about an hour since the accident with Kagome had happened, and she had yet to wake up. She had just left the room so she could grab something to eat and give Jake and Norm an update on what happened.

Grabbing a bowl of food Grace made her way to sit down. She was going hurry up and eat then make it back to the observation room. She gave a small smile as she sat down across from Jake and Norm.

"So how is she doing doc?" Jake asked, Norm and him had come back from their Avatars and were now worried on how their teammate was doing.

"I don't know yet, she has yet to wake up." She sighed, and took a bite of soup, she really wished she could tell them good news, but she couldn't. She really couldn't' say if she was alright until she woke up, and she didn't know when that would be.

"Grace!" A voice called out, making the three of them turn. It was one of the other doctors from the observation unit, "Kagome just woke up!"

Not needing to be told twice she got up and hurried to where Kagome was. She walked threw the door and was greeted with a confuzed Kagome.

"Kagome!" She yelled in relief, "Thank Heavens you're alright!" Grace sighed as she heard her mutter softly , "Dr. Augustine?"

She smiled, it looked like she would be alright; thank god, "Call me Grace, and what is your question. I can tell you have them, and i am not surprised at that."

"What did you mean by 'your alright'?" Grace frowned at the woman's question, but knew there would be no way around it. She herself didn't understand what had went wrong.

"There was a" Grace paused for a moment before she sighed, continuing, "Complication when you transferred into your avatar." Grace continued to explain what had happened, and what they were going to do about it. Kagome seemed to take it well, but she knew it really hasn't sunk in yet. It would probably take awhile before it did too.

Sighing Grace stood up, patting her shoulder, "I am going to go get the others ready, so we can get ready for the mission that we were going on before all of this happened," she started to make her way to the door but stopped, "there some clothes you can change into on the stool next to you. When you are dressed meet us by helicopter Twelve." With that she left the room to get ready for their mission.

It took about ten minutes for everyone to get ready, and then they were off. Kagome and Jake were gunmen, while Norm was going to help her collect samples and do some experiments.

When they landed, Grace went straight to the little clearing, and got some of her equipment out. SHe was going see how the flow in the tree's were going. Grace knew Norm would find it rather interesting. The flow in the tree's all connected, which was rather unusual, but it was amazing all in the same.

The two were brought out of their science mode, when they heard a roar, both ran to where it came from. It was in a clearing next to them, where Jake and Kagome stood. Kagome was in no trouble, but Jake was in the line of the creature.

"Don't shoot!" Grace instructed, coming into the treeline, about ten feet away from where Jake was standing, "Don't shoot, you'll piss him off."

The creature roared again, hitting its armor like head on the trees surrounding it, knocking them over, "It's already pissed off!" Jake yelled to Grace.

"The armor is too thick, you won't be able to pierce it," She instructed, "You'll have to stand your ground."

Jake held his ground as the creature came towards him, but it suddenly stopped. As if on que, a roar sounded behind her and Jake.

"And how about this one?" Jake asked, as he indicated to the new animal that was in-front of them.

"Run! Definitely Run! " Grace yelled, as everyone turned to run. She and Norm running and headed back to the copper. When there, they both waited, looking for any sign for the other two.

She sighed when there wasn't. Great, now she had two missing people. Now what was she going to do?

Kagome looked at the wolf like creature in-front of her. It gave out a bark like growl. It was warning her not to come any closer, but she needed to anyway. She looked at the puddle of blood that was starting to form. If she didn't help it soon it would bleed to death.

"It's alright." she tried to tell it, "I am not going to hurt you...i just want to help." She took cautious steps towards the animal. She would have to be careful, she really didn't feel like getting bit today.

The wolf creature gave another warning growl, as it bared its teeth at her, " Come now, I only want to help." She was now directly in-front of it, she slowly crouched down, and ripped her sleeve to her shirt. She needed to stop the bleeding.

"I need to stop the bleeding okay?" She whispered, as she slowly brought the cloth to the wound. The animal eyed her as she did this, but let her continue. Kagome kept her eyes connected as she wrapped the cloth around the wound. It would have to do for now. If she wrapped it tight enough it should stop the bleeding pretty fast.

The animal stopped growling at her and gave her a look she would say was curiosity. Kagome smiled, least it didn't bite her. That was a good thing. Maybe the creatures out her weren't as bad as the people at the base had said.

Kagome held her hand out to it, letting it sniff her, showing it she was no threat, "See nothing to fear."

The animal stepped closer to her hand and gave it a gentle lick, it seemed like it was thanking her, "Your welcome."

Kagome sat down her back to the tree that was by the bushes, "I am not that bad am I?" She hoped the animal would be better, but she was going to look after it just to make sure.

Yawning Kagome sighed, "Well I don't know about you but I am tied..." She gave the wolf creature a look, "If I fall asleep you won't do anything will you?

The creature gave out a bark like laugh as it approached her and sat next to her. She smiled, she guessed she would be safe, it didn't look like it was going to try and kill her anytime soon.

Closing her eyes, she leaned muttered, "I wonder how long I will be stuck here." The last thing Kagome remembered was a soft whine of the wild animal and it curling up in her side, after that she drifted into sleep, not knowing what tomorrow would bring.

Yuki Note: I hope you all enjoyed the chapter! I just love the Viper Wolves! They are so cute!
