Riley soon got nervous about what was happening to Katie, and started to bounce on his feet. After about a minute of it, Jesse grabbed his arm. "Stop," she ordered him, as she returned to her tests. "You're gonna get Katie move nervous."
"I'm sorry," Riley said, as he sat down on the bed next to Katie. "So, little one, what do you want to play?"
"I want to get out of here," she answered, as she poured some of the orange serum into a container with some blue serum only to have it lit on fire. "Cool, but that's not a good thing"
She grabbed it and threw it into the sink. "Okay, a reminder for everybody, don't miss blue and orange together. They tend to make a fire."
"We'll remember that," Janet said, as she watched as Katie began to shake. "She's getting worse."
"I know." Jesse then stared down at the vials of the serum. "The antidote is here. I somewhat remember Nirrti making it along with the plague. Now all I have to do is get the right serums together."
"We'll figure it out." Jesse poured some of the blue serum into some yellow serum. It didn't do anything but turn green. "Okay, that didn't explode."
"This might be it." Jesse then shot a glance over to see that Riley had fallen to the floor and wasn't moving. "Ri?" She set the vial down and blurred to his side. "Riley?" She rolled him onto his back only to see that his face was blue. "Riley, wake up!"
On the other side of the windows, stood Ethan and Daniel watching them, and Ethan was scared out of his mind. "They're going to be okay, Ethan," Daniel said to him, as he turned to look at Ethan. "They're in good hands."
"I should be in there with them," Ethan said, as he began to bounce on his feet. "Not here."
"But you're safe here. Your sister knew what she was doing when she ordered you out of the room."
"I know, but I want to be there."
"This is as close as you can be without being there." Daniel then turned to see that Riley had started to seizure. "That can't be good."
"Riley, wake up," Jesse ordered him, as she fought to keep her hold onto him, as he began to seizure. He threw her back, but she quickly was back by his side. "Riley, wake up. The Jaffa are here." Riley's eyes snapped opened and she shot him a smile. "I knew that would work." His seizures started to slow down and his eyes began to focus. "Ri?"
"Yeah, it's me," he said, as he shot a glance around to see that he was on the floor with Jesse leaning on his chest. "Okay, what happened? Why am I on the floor?"
"Because you had a seizure." Jesse gently helped him sit up and he touched the back of his head to find a rather large bump from where he had hit the floor. "Are you all right?"
"I think that I'll be okay." He squinted his eyes and then shook his head. "Man, that hurts." He grabbed onto Jesse's arm, as she helped him to his feet only to have him stagger against her. "Okay, you can stop the world from spinning now."
That got a small chuckle out of Jesse as he sat down on an empty bed. "I wish that I could, but if I did it for you, I would have to do it for myself."
"Dizzy?" Janet asked her, as she came up with her pen light and checked their eyes. "Which way is it going?" Jesse showed her with a finger and Janet smiled. "That's normal."
"How's she doing?" Riley asked Janet, as he turned to look at Katie, to see that she was growing paler by the hour. "She doesn't look so good."
"Well, for starters, you two are better off, than all of us, because of those bugs in your system that allow you guys to heal rather quickly. Sam and I are just your normal human. That's why it hasn't effected us in the same way is because our bodies are weaker than you guys'. In a few more hours, we'll be showing the effects just like you guys are."
"This thing can be cured?" Riley asked Jesse while she sat down next to him on the bed and he quickly noticed that she was shaking. "You okay?"
"No, Ri, I'm not," she answered as she looked up into his eyes with blood shot ones. "I don't have very much loner to live."
"What are you talking about?"
"For our kind of human, the life expediency of the plague is seven hours. It's been four. I haven't been able to stop shaking for an hour now. I'm scared. I saw what this can do when I worked the labs for Nirrti. She would wait until they were almost dead before she gave them the antidote. Ironically, we're no where close to her. She could have told us what makes the antidote."
"Jesse, we're gonna get through this."
"How are you so sure, Ri? You can't go back to get more. There is none. We have to work with what we have."
"I know." He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her into his side. "We're gonna beat this. We're not gonna die before we get the chance to see the Goa'uld destroyed."
"You're right." Jesse slipped away from him, stood up on the floor, only to sway, and turned to face the vials. "I think I know which one it is."
"How sure are you?" Jesse touched her head and Riley smiled. "Ah, I forgot, photographic memory. She remember everything."
"Of course I do." She picked up a small syringe of the orange serum and before anybody could stop her, she injected it into her arm.
"Jess, what the hell are you doing?" Riley soon was at her side and he caught her as she began to seizure. "Jess, talk to me."
"I have to make sure that this is the antidote. The serum will make my immune system five hundred times stronger. I can survive if it is the wrong one."
"The orange serum will kill you."
"You'll save me. You always do." She then let out a sigh as she slipped into unconsciousness.
"Jess, you're an idiot."
