Riley and Katie were forced to watch as Jesse struggled through the seizures along with Janet and Carter. "Why did she do it, Riley?" Katie asked him, as she turned away from Jesse and looked up at him. "She's gonna die now."

"No, little one," Riley said, as he sat next to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "She's not gonna die. Jesse is the most strong minded person that I have ever meet in my entire life. She's gonna make it."

"Sounds like the Colonel," Janet whispered to Carter, as she began to look at the vials. "Well, here's the antidote for the orange serum. Now all we have to do is figure out which one is for the plague."

"The only one who may know the answer to that is Jesse," Carter said, as she took up a vial of the orange serum. "Let's hope we can find the cure before her time is up."

"Yeah, let's hope."

What seemed like an hour later, but was really half an hour, Jesse woke up with a start and sat up.

"What happened?" she asked them, causing them to turn around to face her. "What?"

"Jesse, are you okay?" Katie asked her as she came up to her.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She quickly jumped to her feet and bounced on them. "Okay, a little better than fine, but I'm back."

"That's good, Jess," Riley said as he looked up from the chair he was sitting on with blood shot eyes. "Because I feel like I just got hit by a truck."

"Okay, I get it. I need to find the cure." She then began to look at the vials. "Let's just hope this idea of mine works."

"Yeah, let's hope." Jesse took up the vial that she had before and took a small syringe full of it. "You sure you know what you're doing?"

"No, I'm not sure. We really don't have much of a chance." Just as she was about to inject herself with it, both Carter and Janet fell to the floor. "Oh, no." Riley dropped down beside Janet to check her vitals as Jesse checked Carter's. "She's out."

"So is she."

"So, Ri, what do we do now?"

"We find the cure." Jesse got to her feet and took up the syringe. "Let's just hope that it doesn't kill you."

"Yeah, let's hope." She injected it into her arm and dropped to her knees as the serum rushed through her viens. "Wow, that shit's powerful."

"You okay?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine."

"So now what do we do."

"We wait and give it time to fight the plague. All we can do is wait."

"What about them?" Katie asked Riley, referring to Carter and Janet, as she came over to his side and wrapped an arm around his neck. "What will happen to them?"

"Hopefully they'll make it," Riley answered her, as he got to his feet and picked her up. "For now, we just keep them as comfortable as we can."

"Sounds like a good plan," Jesse said, as she got to her feet. "Katie, could you find them some more blankets. I have to make it really cold in here. Other wise, they won't survive."

"What about us?" Katie asked, as Riley set her down, and she went off to get the blankets. "Won't we freeze?" Jesse and Riley then got Janet and Carter onto the beds. "Here, ya go." Riley took them from her and shot her a little thanks.

"Not for a long time." Riley quickly covered Janet and Carter with the blankets. She then turned to face Riley. "Remember that freeze storm we had when we were what about eight. I was out there for hours. Came home only to get grounded by Dad and babied by Mom for week. Didn't even get a cold out of it."

"Yeah, I'm sure your parents loved you after that."

"Yeah, they always did."

"Jesse, your color's coming back." Jesse shot a glance down to see that the blue was quickly fading from her fingers. "That's a good sign right?"

"Yeah, it's a great sign." She then let out a small shiver. "Okay, now it's cold in here."

"Here." Riley wrapped a blanket around her and shot a glance over to see that Katie had cuddled up next to Carter. "Katie's with Aunt Sami, she'll be okay."

"I think that it's working." She shot him a smile as she got to her feet and she bounced. "I feel great."

"Really?"

"Yeah, besides the fact that I'm now back to being addicted to the orange serum, I'm good."

"We'll get through this."

"Yeah, we will. You've been through worse."

"Jesse!" Katie cried out to her, as she began to shake Carter. "Aunt Sami isn't breathing."

"Oh, God no." Jesse blurred over to her side and checked Carter's vitals. "She's not gonna make it."

"So what do we do?"

"We save her." Jesse took up a syringe full of the orange serum and injected it into Carter's arm. "Let's just hope that it doesn't kill her."

"Yeah, let's hope." Jesse then began to do CPR on Carter. "Come on, breathe." Jesse was on her second attempt when Carter let out a gasp as she tried to breath. "Good, girl."

"What happened?" Carter asked them, as Jesse sat down on the bed next to her.

"You stopped breathing," Jesse reported, as she tucked back a loose strand of her hair. "I gave you some of the orange serum. You wouldn't have survived without it."

"Oh, great, now I'm gonna be addicted to it as well."

"No, so." Jesse took up the vial of the antidote. "We have figured out the cure, and it seems to be working in me."

"Okay, so let's give it to all of us."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am sure."

"Okay." Jesse took up the syringe of the plague antidote and injected it into Carter's arm. "Now, this is gonna hurt." Carter slammed her fist on the bed as the antidote began to work. "But the orange serum should help it go smoother."

"I'm actually feeling somewhat better now."

"Well that's good, because we're gonna need your help."

"With what?"

"Giving the antidote to both Katie and Riley."
