Chapter 15: Infected
:
The only thing he could do at the moment was dive for cover and try to protect himself from the deadly gas that could fatally kill them all. Bringing his worn trench coat up over his face he heard a woman's voice call out. He couldn't quite understand her but he could tell she was pissed. A thick and cloudy gas filled the room and Remy's thoughts flew instantly to Rogue. She could die with all the gas in here her breathing was slow enough with out the gas making it worse. Remy felt in his pocket real quick and checked for something, finding it was still there he rushed over to Rogue's bedside. " Come on chere y' can sleep later." He gently nudged her and she began to stir then began to cough. Remy immediately picked up her limp form and carried her bridal style out of the clouded med lab.
Once out the sliding doors closed and a strange voice filled the room. " Danger, acid and radiation levels in med lad 4 code number 5679B45 have reached a dangerous level." Remy's head snapped up at the mention of 45. 'Dam he thought. He hated how his head still snapped up when he heard it. " Med Lad 4 code number 5679B45 will be fully sealed off in 10." Remy looked around the hallway and saw Toad laying on the ground against the wall. So that was the thud, Remy thought. ".9."
Remy heard the soft thud of large foot steps coming quickly down the hall he began to panic a bit until he saw it was Hank. He looked calm with all things considering.
" 8"
" Oh my stars and garters..What's going on? What happened?" Mr. McCoy began to question, Remy really didn't have any good answers to give him at the moment.
" 7"
" Well uhhh."
" 6"
"Sweetums?" Toad's voice cut Remy off, the boy was still on the ground but he was waking up. Both Remy and Mr. McCoy looked over to Toad he slowly began to get up and rise to his feet. Mr. McCoy looked over to Remy with horror written all over his face.
" Wanda's here?" He asked with great urgency. Remy nodded wondering how they knew Wanda. He walked to the side of the wall and set Rogue gently down on the ground. Mr. McCoy walked over and checked on Rogue.
" 5"
" Where is she?" Toad asked to Remy. It was then that Remy realized that she wasn't out there, she was still inside the Med Lab. " Is she still in there?" Toad asking in a panicked voice as his eyes grew huge.
Both of them looked back into the Med Lad. You couldn't really see anywhere in there, and before Remy knew what was happening he saw Todd jump like a mad man into the Med Lab with out a second thought. " Come back." Remy shouted at the last minute but he was already gone. Remy shook his head and looked over to Mr. McCoy. " T'ink he'll make it?" Remy asked to Mr. McCoy and himself.
" 4"
" He'll try." Mr. McCoy said solemnly as they both intensely watched the sliding med lab doors for any sign of movement.
" 3"
There was no sign of movement from the other room, both Hank and Remy were holding their breath and didn't even realize it. Every once and a while Rogue would let out a small cough but that was it.
" 2"
" He's not goin' t' make it." Remy said to himself praying that he made it. No one deserved to die like that. Just when he was about to give up hope the med lab doors slid open and there was Toad with Wanda being carried over his shoulders. Toad was coughing up a storm as Remy hustled over and just yanked them out of the way of the med lab doors slamming shut on hem as the three of them fell to the floor.
" 1. Med Lad 4 code number 5679B45 is now completely sealed off. Approximated time till perimeter is safe is precisely 12.25 hours." The female computer voice answered as Remy began to pick himself off the floor. Todd and Wanda remained on the floor, Wanda was breathing heavily as she began to drift in and out of consciousness. Toad remained holding her closely to him and for the moment she didn't do anything to stop him.
" Y' guy's okay?" Remy finally asked. Toad looked up to him but didn't give any time of answer Wanda remained to stare of into space. They all took in the silence no one saying anything as Remy's question remained unanswered.
" Come we must get these two to the Med Lad." Hank ordered, Toad and Remy nodded as Toad picked up the now unconscious Wanda and Remy picked up Rogue. She had woken up but her body was still fighting off the toxin so she had fallen back to sleep.
" Wait y' have another Med Lab?" Remy raised an eyebrow as he followed. Mr. McCoy nodded.
" Yes we have four to be exact." Hank answered as Remy's jaw dropped.
" Y' kindin' Remy right?" Remy asked thinking they were just pulling his leg. But Hank shook his head.
" No my dear boy I rarely kid." Mr. McCoy answered as they walked down a long corridor. Remy then realized that they were walking quite a distance and from what he could remember the house he saw out side didn't look this big.
Nothing more was said until they reached the Med Lad, and then the only thing said was from Hank asking for them to place the two on the bed and for Toad and Remy to take a seat.
" So she ganna be okay Doc?" Toad asked in a worried tone looking over Hank's shoulder as he examined Wanda. Hank shook his head and gave Toad annoyed look. Toad frowned and appeared to be a little paler then normal.
" I'm not quite sure Todd but you're blocking my light. Now please take a seat." Hank ordered gently. Todd didn't go sit back down he took a few steps back and watched Mr. McCoy work his magic in healing Wanda. He inserted am IV into her left wrist and covered her mouth with an oxygen mask. He walked into the cupboard and grabbed two small vials and set them over one of those Bunsen (can't spell.) Burners. The chemicals began to boil and a small trail of gas began to evaporate into the air.
Sick of being stuck in the dark Remy decided to ask what the heck he was doing. " Um, Doc?" Mr. McCoy looked up at Remy whom was sitting in a chair right next to Rogue's bed holding her bare hand. " What are y' doin'?"
Mr. McCoy gave a small apologetic smiled and began to explain. " Well you see Wanda has been exposed to a more potent form of the AM Toxin in the matter state of a gas. Seeing as how there is no point source that it entered her body other then the lungs I must make an antidote in the form of a gas to counter it. Which reminds me what exactly happened?" Hank explained looking at both of them. He reached for a small tube that was connected to Wanda's oxygen mask and a small funnel tube. He connected the funnel tube to the glass container letting of the faint blue gas into the air. He then connected the plastic tube to the end of the funnel's opening and let the antidote flow into Wanda's oxygen supply. With this action Todd seemed to calm down a bit, but he still seemed a tad out of it. He had small beads of sweat begin to gather and roll down his face. Mr. McCoy looked at the two of them. " Well are you going to answer my question or am I forced to guess?"
At this both of them snapped out of their somewhat dazed state of watching Mr. McCoy work. Toad looked to Remy, he was the only one that knew why she was really here. " De fille was planin' on usin' de AM Toxin t' kill her pere, Magneto." Remy answer, Todd sighed and Hank shook his head.
" Again. I thought that she would have given up on it by now." Hank said quietly. It was now Remy's turn to ask a question of his own.
" How do y' know Wanda anyway?" Remy's question must of caught Hank off guard because his eyes got huge. Why Remy wasn't to sure, it seemed like a simple enough question.
Both Toad and Mr. McCoy exchanged glances as if it was some big tragedy. Toad nodded his head and Hank sighed in defeat. " It isn't the best of stories mind you." Mr. McCoy answered as if he was trying to get out of answering the question.
" What was so terrible dat y' don' want t' tell Remy?" He asked to both of them. Neither of them answered. Hank tried to keep himself busy with walking over and really quickly checking Rogue's vitals. Seeing that it was okay, he then proceded to check and make sure that Todd had not been infected with the AM Toxin.
" It's just that..look yo the girl had a troubled life an'..her father didn't make it any easier." Toad answered as Mr. McCoy pricked Toads finger so he could check the blood. He then really quickly did the same to Remy.
" Look jus tell Remy. We all have had a bad past." Remy answered him, Mr. McCoy sighed in defeat.
" When she wakes up she could tell you more. But the main just of it is this. About a year and a half almost two years ago there was a warning that was distributed to the authorities of the area to be on the look out for a dangerous mutant that had escaped from a mutant asylum. I somehow managed to stumble onto this information while I was doing research on the governments latest research developments on mutants. I managed to hack into their systems from my computer and came across the information. I read over the files but didn't pay much mind to them. I didn't think that I would come across the woman in the files. Well about a week later Todd came across a woman passed out in the woods near a swamp he goes to and often. He brought her here." He paused a moment, then looked up from the telescope. " Remy you seem to be unaffected by the toxin." Remy nodded.
" Dat's good. Continue." Remy said knowing there was more. Hank nodded and sighed.
" Well she was beaten badly. You couldn't even tell she was a woman. Her body was swelled beyond belief; she had at least ten broken bones, cuts and bruises all over her body. Her hair was tattered and stained with blood. Her clothing was noting more then blood stained rags. How she made it that far from the asylum in her condition is a miracle in itself." Mr. McCoy took a deep breath, and looked over to Remy. Remy was in shock. How the hell could they do that to the poor girl? Why would they want to? " Well after we treated her she remained in a coma for almost two months during that time Todd spent a majority of his time watching her while I tried to gather information about the missing girl. I was sure it was her. And from what I found in my research was on the outside Cougar Labs was a treatment and holding clinic for mutants that were a danger to themselves and those around them. They would learn to control their power and would be release once they could. But. It wasn't like that at all. It was a research lab they test and experimanent on mutants as if they were lab rats. They beat them when they would not cooperate and drugged them. Most of them were just kids. And they treated them As if they were worth noting. I checked and there was rates of about two deaths a day do to over experimenting. Two." Hank was upset now; his rage was getting the better of him. Remy was pissed as well. How could they do that? It sounded just as bad as what he went threw day after day for four years. No wonder she was so pissed off with the world.
" Clam down Doc. That's in the past. Cougar Labs closed down remember. They won't hurt anyone else again." Todd had tried to calm Hank down and it was working slowly.
Hank looked up from the desk and sighed in embarrassment. " I'm sorry, I tend to get to emotional when talking of such things. My apologizes." Hank said in a deep sincere voice. Remy gave him the best smile he could manage at the moment.
" T'ink nothin' of it." Remy answered, Hank smiled.
" So I take it Wanda's the only one that got infected right?" Toad asked getting up from his seat, he stumbled a bit but managed to catch himself.
" Oh well I have yet to check your sample Todd one moment, please." Mr. McCoy said giving him an uneasy look, then examining Toad's blood sample. A small gasp escaped his lips but when he looked up to Todd he was to late. Toad had passed out on the floor and Remy had rushed over and placed him back onto the bed.
" So Remy takes it he was infected too mon ami?" Half question, half statement. Hank nodded, as he began to hook Todd up onto a couple of machines.
" Yes it would seem so. However I only have enough to cure one of them for the time. I do have a small amount that would be able to treat him for a time but other then that I need to get the antidote. Wanda was kind enough to bring me some on her last visit but I fear with treating Rogue, Wanda and now Todd I fear that there is not enough for him." Hank said gravely.
" Dis ain't yer night mon ami. Can y' do anythin' t' help him?" Remy asked, he hadn't know the boy for long but didn't want him to die. Hank shook his head in puzzlement.
" Wanda is the only one that knows where to get it." Hank answered as he inserted an IV into Todd's left wrist.
" Well how long till she's better?" Remy asked looking over to Wanda; she was in a coma so it wasn't really a question Mr. McCoy could answer.
" I don't know a week, two, a month. It's hard to say." Hank answered. He had just finish hooking up the heart monitor to Todd. Now there were six simultaneous beeps going off every few moments. Three of them for each of there heart beats and the other three for measuring their brain wave patterns.
Both of them stood and looked at the three of them. All of them had been infected with the AM Toxin, damit and there wasn't enough of the antidote to cure them all. The lonely two just stared and remained in deep thought for a time. Remy tried to think of a way to help Todd but also tried to think of a way to help himself. Mr. McCoy said Rogue was going to need another dose after a period of time so she was going to need more too. And Wanda, well the girl had tried to kill him on many occasions but now that he knew where her anger came from he could sympathize with her. Toad well the kid was weird but okay he didn't deserve to die like that. Actually now that Remy thought about it, he wasn't too sure if the toxin could really kill them. Todd wasn't he infected before with the same stuff? Remy began to think. And Hank had said that Todd had found Wanda and she had brought him the antidote before. So he must of made some in the past. " That's it." Remy said aloud. His words snapped Hank out of his thoughts.
" What's it?" he asked looking over his shoulder at the Cajun that was now smiling like he had just thought of something brilliant.
" Didn' y' make an' antidote fo' Toad befo' Wanda gave y' de antidote?" Remy asked with hope in his red on black eyes. Mr. McCoy's eyes grew wide in realization, as his mouth created a small "o" shape.
" But." His face fell a bit. " I haven't made any for almost three years and even then it didn't really work out for the boy. The toxin then wasn't as strong. He had to stay here and be treated every week." Mr. McCoy tried to explain but Remy shook his head.
" Den make yers stronger den befo'." Remy encouraged.
" It will take some time." Hank answered truthfully.
" Well how long till de stuff is permanent?" Remy asked starching the stubble on his chin in thought.
" One week." Hank answered his mood darkening again.
" Well den you better get started mon ami." Remy answered pushing him towards the medicine cabinets.
" It will only be a treatment not a cure. For a cure I will need the antidote that Wanda provided for me before." Hank answered trying to stop Remy from shoving him into the wall. Remy just grinned.
" Leave dat t' Remy."
