"I can't do that" Wes said shaking his head. "I can't send them to Mariner Bay General Hospital."

"Wes we don't have the facilities or equipment to deal with the injuries that Alex and Jen sustained." Ms Fairweather said imploringly.

"In the year 3000 every man woman and child has had their DNA altered. Every baby is made just the way the parents want right down to the eye color and hair color. And the most important thing is that there is no disease at all ever." Wes explained. " I can't let that technology be developed before its time. We could alter the future and I can't let that happen. And in the hospital we can't control the environment to make sure that it doesn't happen."

"So you would rather have them die than risk changing the future." Carter said in disbelief.

"It's what Jen and Alex would want." Wes said quietly. His heart breaking.

Eric listened to the conversation and a thought crossed his mind. "There is one place you can take them that we already can control."

Wes and the others looked at Eric.

Later on at Bio-Med

"Thank - you" Wes said to his father.

"It's the least I could do." Mr. Collins said putting an arm around his son's shoulder. "They saved the city, and they saved you."

The sound of sliding doors interrupted their conversation.

"Wes this is Dr. Harris. He's taking care of Alex and Jen." Mr Collins said about the gray haired man. Wes held his hand out and the man took it.

"Wes your father has told me a lot about you. I just wish we could have met under better circumstances. Jen is in rough shape. She has a concussion and a back injury."

"How is Alex?"

"He also has a minor concussion, but other than some bruised ribs and a broken wrist he'll be fine. It's amazing it seems almost like their bodies are healing at an incredible rate."

"Incredible" Wes murmured worrying that Dr. Harris would find out the secret they were hiding.

Alex opened his eyes. He studied the blank white walls that surrounded him. Had he somehow gotten back to the future? And where was Jen? He made a move to get out of the bed and gasped when a pain shot through his body.

"You're not going to want to do that for a while." Carter said sitting up in the chair next to the bed.

"How did I get here?" He asked weakly falling back onto the soft pillows.

"Wes had a lot to do with it. I know your secret and don't worry it's safe with me and the rest of my team."

"Secret?"

"The fact you are here from the year 3000 where the babies are genetically manipulated to be perfect."

Alex inhaled slowly. "Thank-you Carter."

"You really should be thanking Wes. He got his father to bring you here"

"Here?"

"Bio Lab. It was the only other controlled environment we could think of."

"What about Jen?" Alex asked his thoughts turning to the woman he loved.

"She was hurt pretty bad." Carter said turning away from Alex

"Where is she?" Alex said interrupting him.

"Just a few doors down. They have her in intensive care."

"What happened to her?"

"She has a severe back injury. They don't know if she'll ever be able to walk again."

"No" he said quietly his head spinning.

"Alex you really should rest."

"I need to see Jen." He said determined trying to get up.

"Alex its not a good idea right now. Besides Wes is with her. You know he won't let anything happen to her."

Alex fell back onto the pillows yet again. "Carter, I need to see her." He said stubbornly.

"And you will.After you rest." Dr Harris said coming into the room. " You have a minor concussion and that is no laughing matter. You need to take care of yourself if you are going to take care of Jen. That's an order. Medical personnel outrank anyone in the service."

"All right." Alex agreed reluctantly.
