"He doesn't look so good, maybe we should take him back so they can help him" Test says standing over Chris looking down at him and feeling his forehead "This is such a bad idea, we should take him back right now. What if he dies, if they find out we've killed one of their kind they'll hunt us down and you know they will Hunter!" Test yells stepping back from the bed where Chris is laying.
"I know!" Hunter shouts pacing the room "We cant just walk in there and say 'Hey by the way, we stole one of the superhero's in your custody to use for our own evil plot to take over the world but we thought he might die so brought him back' I swear you are brain dead sometimes!"
"We could just leave him somewhere" Test suggests looking at Hunter.
"No that wouldn't work, some goody goody human will find him and take him to a hospital and they wont be able to do anything for him" Hunter says "This wasn't supposed to happen"
"He'll be fine in a few days" Edge says stepping into the room and over to Chris, he checks his arm and then looks back at the others "He'll be fine" he says before stepping away and turning to leave.
"You gave him too much, we should never have done this!" Test says glaring at Edge's back "If you kill him they will be here in no time and they will be after us, I told you this wouldn't work but you wouldn't listen to me!" Test says sitting down in his chair.
"I said..He'll be fine!" Edge yells turning to face them before storming out of the door and slamming it hard behind him. Test looks at Hunter as he slumps down in an armchair staring at the floor; Hunter looks over to him and then at Chris.
"Can you save him?" Hunter asks watching Chris lay still on the bed, his skin pale and his eyes open and staring straight up to the ceiling. "Can you counteract the vaccine in time to stop it killing him?"
"I don't know, why would you care anyway? We're the bad guys remember, we don't care about anyone us but ourselves. That's what you tell him, you knew just like I did that giving him the vaccine to make him like us was wrong. We had no idea how much to give him," Test mumbles remembering the dose they had given him after he'd been brought back to them. The liquid injected into him was supposed to drain him of all the good powers he had been given and replace them with the bad ones, it was burning away everything he had linking him to The Fozz including his tattoo. They knew it would hurt him and would make him ill for a few days but they had never thought that it would bring him this close to death.
"I care because maybe he'll have a chance, the chance we wont have again! To get out of here and lead a half normal life!" Hunter yells making Test retract in his seat and look at the floor "I care because no one cared when I lost it all"
"I'll try" Test says as Hunter gets to his feet and walks out of the room "This is going to be a long night" Test mutters to himself pulling out a book and flicking through it looking for his page.
"What do you think your playing at Hunter?" Edge asks as Hunter steps into the main room and towards the fire, he slips down into a chair and puts his feet up on the table "Why are you trying to save him with that idiot Test, why not just let him die?!"
"You know I can't just let him die" Hunter says running a hand over the side of his face and rubbing his eyes.
"Your weak, that's why you cant let him die" Edge mutters narrowing his eyes and looking at Hunter "He's got to you hasn't he. I told you not to listen to his stories, his ideas of the outside world. He's trying to get you on his side so you'll help him and that's exactly what he's done"
"They aren't stories, he has friends, he has a job, and he has a person he cares about more than anyone in the world. They aren't made up stories Edge, they are his life and your taking that away from him, He's not like us, he'll keep fighting and wont give in you know. He wont give up like we all did" Hunter replies biting at the nail on his thumb.
"So you suggest we let him go and give up?" Edge sighs glancing at the door.
"Give up, but let him go..I don't know what we should do" Hunter mumbles staring at the fire hoping it would give him the answers, they both look round as the door to the room opens and Edge walks in helping Chris walk.
