Thanks to:
KPKrazy400: Actually, when I gave you the summery, I didn't know that I was going to put that part in. It was just a spur-of-the-moment type deals. And did Quin get there in time to save you from getting beat up by Kim? hehe. :P!
ARG! Where's my other reviewers? *looks around* alrighty then! New policy: I gotta get at least 2 review before I post the next chapter! (and this is gonna start going for my other stories as well!)
Well, this chapter is kind of short, but oh well, it's an update right?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ron sat in the waiting room next to Sarah while Kim paced the waiting room floor waiting for some information on Quin.
The doctors had been examining her for almost an hour and everyone there was getting more and more impatient as the time ticked by.
Kim looked over at Ron. He was sitting down with his head hanging low and his arms in his lap. Every now and then, he'd hold his head in his hands but then he'd switch back again.
Sarah sat in quite the opposite manner. She sat up straight, her head straight and her eyes looking dead center, although they were glazed over indicating that she was in deep thought. She had been in that position since Quin had been taken in.
Kim, however, couldn't sit still. She would try to sit down but within thirty seconds she was up pacing again.
The doctor walked into the room, his eyes on his clipboard for a moment. Everyone looked at him. He looked up.
"Are you all here for Quin Separable?" he asked.
Everyone nodded.
"How is she?" Sarah asked.
"Well, we've managed to stabilize her condition." the doctor said.
"Did you figure out what she was injected with?" Kim asked.
"As a matter of fact, yes, we did. She was injected with an experimental drug . . . it's so new and so untested that it doesn't even have a name yet. Anyway, thank goodness she didn't get the whole dose because she would be in a morgue right now." the doctor said.
"So she's all right?" Ron asked, hopeful.
"No. She's not out of danger. Fortunately there is an antidote for this medication already. Unfortunately, it might take up to three hours for it to get here." the doctor replied.
"Three hours?!" Kim exclaimed.
The doctor nodded sadly. "The only thing we can do for her right now is to make her comfortable. It's up to Quin whether she lives long enough to get the antidote or not."
"Can we see her?" Ron asked.
The doctor nodded. "Yes, but she won't respond to anything."
Ron nodded as he, Kim, and Sarah walked into the room where Quin was in.
The room itself had no color - everything was white. Quin lay on a bed toward the side of the room. She was hooked up to all types of different machines that Ron couldn't even begin to guess what they were for.
Ron, Kim, and Sarah walked to her bedside - Sarah pulling up a chair to sit on, and Ron and Kim went to the opposite side of the bed.
Quin's skin was pale and if she didn't have a machine hooked up to her to help her breath, Kim knew that she probably wasn't strong enough to breathe on her own.
Ron gently put his hand around Quin's, but even that small pressure caused her skin to bruise. Ron pulled his hand away when he saw her hand turn black and blue. He had never seen her look so weak before and he didn't like seeing it.
Beside him, Kim felt so helpless - a feeling she had never felt before. She didn't like this feeling one bit. Normally, she could help fix the problem, but not here . . . not now. Quin was the only one who could fix this.
And she even looked too weak to do that.
Ron kneeled down by the side of Quin's bed. "I know the doctor said that you probably can't hear me, but if you can, just hang in there. They're getting some medicine to help you. It should be here in a few more hours. I know you're strong enough to hold on that long. And you won't be alone you know. Me and Kim and Rufus and your mother are here with you." Ron said softly.
Kim put her hand on his shoulder. He looked up at her and sighed. "If it wasn't for me, Quin wouldn't be here in the hospital right now."
"Ron, if it hadn't been for you, Quin would have been dead by now . . . actually, she'd still be in league with Drakken and Shego." Kim said.
"Yeah, well, that's one thing I did right." Ron said bitterly.
"Ron, what are you talking about?" Kim asked. "From what you told me, you were the one who tackled Shego before she could get more of that stuff injected into Quin."
"Well I didn't tackle her soon enough! And if I wouldn't have been so careless and gotten captured, Quin would be fine." Ron retorted.
Kim gave an angry sigh. \\Man is he being stubborn.// "Ron, none of us knew that Drakken was planning this. It's not your fault that this happened."
"No, Ron, it's not." Sarah agreed.
"Then how come I feel so guilty?" Ron asked.
"I don't know. But this isn't your fault." Kim said.
Ron sighed and he looked back at Quin. The three sat there in that hospital.

A few hours later, the doctor came into the room holding a bottle in his hands.
"The antidote is here!" he announced as he walked over and put on some gloves and got a shot out of the drawer. He opened everything carefully and held the bottle upside down as he pushed the needle in to draw out the antidote.
He walked over to Quin. "It's a miracle that's she held out this long." he remarked as he moved her arm and straightened it out so that the elbow that had gotten the "medicine" was able to receive the antidote.
As the doctor rubbed the area clean, Quin flinched - the first she had moved since she passed out.
"Well, that's a good sign." the doctor said. "Unfortunately, it might also cause some complications when I try to inject this into her."
"Why is that?" Sarah asked.
"Well, that spot is going to be painful when someone - or something touches it. That was one of the side effects of the medication she was injected with. She might jump." the doctor explained.
"Well, I'll help hold on to the arm." Kim said.
"Yes." the doctor said. "That would be great. Just hold her tight, I'm not sure how strong she is."
"Okay." Kim said as she held Quin's forearm and her upper arm. The doctor tried to poke the needle in, but Quin's arm moved away. Kim hadn't been expecting her to pull away that hard.
"That's all right, Kim." the doctor said. "Just try to hold her with a firmer grip. The faster we can inject this, the better off she'll be."
Kim nodded as she tightened her grip. The doctor poked the needle back into the elbow and injected to antidote - Quin twitching as he did.
"There." he said. "Now lets hope that this got here in time."

Did the antidote get there in time? You'll find out in the next chapter. hehe
Until my next update . . .
