Drift waited until six P.M. to see if Jayce would eat. He, Crosshairs, and J R. are relieved she drank a nutrition drink. Jayce put a tight grip on him.
I know you dislike how you feel when the painkillers wear off. I hope this won't last long. It's like you traded the nightmares for a persistent headache and dizziness to the point you don't want to move.
J.R. got up and left the room. Crosshairs followed her. He knew she's going to Bulma's lab to open a portal but to where?
Drift watched, knowing J.R. wanted to get away, he wondered where she would go though there are only two places she'd go: back to the junkyard or her dimension.

"Where do you think you will go?" Crosshairs asked when they got to the lab.
"Away from here. I can't take seeing what Jayce is dealing with, and it's my fault."
"And where are you going to go?"
"Back to the junkyard...for now."
Maybe back to the junkyard for a while is a good idea.
"Fine, but I'm coming with you."

They returned to the junkyard to find Cade and Bulma talking.
"... isn't it just death in a dimension?"
Hearing that infuriated J.R.
"You don't get it after all this time?!" She yelled as she ran up to Cade and slapped him. Crosshairs ran after her and grabbed her before she started fighting Cade. Bumblebee
and Hound were nearby and heard her yelling. Crosshairs was having a hard time keeping a grip on J.R.
"Take her, Hound!" Crosshairs yelled when he noticed Hound is using his Cybertronian form. Crosshairs was hoping Hound can keep a grip on J.R. as Hound takes her away.
"I was just asking about how this all works," Cade said, rubbing where J.R. slapped him, realizing he's bleeding, "crap."
"She got you good," Bulma walked over to the table and grabbed gauze from the box on the table, "here."
"How freaking strong is she to do this with a slap?"
"Consider yourself lucky that's all she did," Crosshairs fumed.
"What the hell is she doing here anyway?" Cade asks.
"She wanted to get away from Jayce. She hates how Jayce is but has no plan aside from staying away from Jayce."
"She's getting more violent. She shouldn't be here."
Bulma and Crosshairs knew why Cade thinks J.R. shouldn't be at the junkyard.
"Well, now she thinks you think it's not a big deal Jamie might die," Crosshairs walks out of the building.
Cade watches Bulma get a syringe.
"Please tell me you're not using that again?"
"I hope not, but I think I will have to. J.R. is beyond listening to anyone at this point."
Cade goes with Bulma though J.R. is furious at him.

Crosshairs didn't think J.R. would be as calm as she is. Hound let her sit on the ground. Crosshairs knew J.R. would be crying.
"What's going on?" Bumblebee asks.
"Later, Bee," Crosshairs replied as he sat next to J.R. As Crosshairs expected, she moved onto his lap. He felt her tremble as he hugged her.
"I'm surprised she's this calm," Bulma observed.
"Cade, you think you should be here?" Crosshairs said in an angry tone.
"Wait; what? What's going on?" Hound asks. Bulma explains what happened, "no wonder she's angry. The timing didn't help."
"I was just trying to understand how this all works."
"Now, though?" Hound asks in an angry tone, "maybe you deserved a slap."
Hound and Bumblebee walk away.
"I'm sorry, J.R. None of us want Jamie to die," Cade apologized before he and Bulma walk away.

'Well, you lucked out on drugging her."
Crosshairs and J.R. walk into the building fifteen minutes later.
"She wanted to see Jamie," Crosshairs told Bulma.
"If you think that's a good idea."
"Does it matter if she's kept away from Jamie or not? Though I doubt she'll be long."
J.R. side hugged Crosshairs as she looked at Jamie. Crosshairs hoped she didn't read the monitor. Five minutes pass before Drift walks into the building with Jayce.
"Sorry, Bulma, she wanted to come here. She'll be going back soon."
"It's fine," Bulma watched as Drift brought Jayce near Jamie.
"You sure this is a good idea?" Cade whispered.
"It doesn't matter whether or not they stay away from Jamie. They're distraught and terrified either way."
"True, but Jamie might go downhill. This might be a terrible idea."
Cade is right, but Bulma didn't want to tell them to leave now. The girls just stared at Jamie.
"Oh, crap. They read the monitor," Cade noticed the worried looks on the girls' faces, "another reason they should have stayed away."
They both watched the girls hug Crosshairs and Drift. The two mechs looked at each other and got up. They took the girls out of the building.
"Neither of them put up a fight to stay, which is strange," Cade said as he and Bulma watched Crosshairs and Drift take the girls to the back of the property.
"They know how critical Jamie is, shit. I don't think any of us thought they'd read the monitor."
"You sure they didn't know before?"
"They knew about the fever, but it wasn't this high. Shit, I forgot they don't know Jamie has a slow heart rate again. I would have told Crosshairs and Drift to keep them away."
"No, they would have figured out Jamie isn't doing good."

"Did you sense Jamie's energy?" J.R. asks
"Yeah, it's still low. Not good," Jayce replies. They both let tears roll down their faces as Crosshairs and Drift hugged them. The girls ended up crying.
"This was a terrible idea," Crosshairs said
"Avoiding Jamie or seeing her upsets them, plus they've been distracted."
"Let's go back," Crosshairs suggested. They expected the girls to fight them, but they didn't. They found Hound waiting at the entrance to the building. By now, the girls stopped crying, but tears still rolled down their faces.
"Going back? I'm coming too," Hound told them.
Bumblebee watched them leave.
"You can go with them, Bee," Cade told him.
"Not much - I can do."
That's what Hound thinks, but he's trying to help. Cade walks back into the building to sit by Jamie.

Crosshairs and Drift brought the girls back to the room. Jayce and J.R. didn't want to lie in bed. They just say on the floor, hugging each other.
"They're terrified Jamie may die. I think they think she will. This was a colossal mistake," Crosshairs observed.
"I doubt they will sleep tonight," Drift guessed.
"Unbelievable, and this won't be ending soon," Hound sighed.
"It's already been a long day. These days seem to get longer," Crosshairs sighed, "I hope Bulma is way off, and it'll be a couple more weeks at most."
"I don't think these two can take even that," Drift watched how upset Jayce and J.R. are.

"I'm going back," Bulma said as she prepared a syringe; she still had one from earlier.
"Please tell me you're not using that on both of them?"
"I think I will have to at least for tonight. They're frightened, no way they'll be going to sleep."
Cade watched Bulma leave.
Fuck. I can't believe we have to resort to these measures. Come on, Jamie. I hope this won't last eight more weeks, but this isn't looking good.

Crosshairs, Drift, and Hound stood in the hallway. They knew there was no way to plan how they can help the girls. They were giving the girls space.
"Are they asleep?" Bulma asks.
"No. I don't think they'll be sleeping tonight.," Drift replies.
"Well, I can use these."
Bulma shows them the syringes.
Crosshairs looks at the syringes, "I can't believe we have to resort to drugs,"
"We can see if they'll go to sleep without the drug, but if not, we will have to use them," Drift suggested. Crosshairs knew Drift would rather they not use sedation on the girls.

Not good. J.R. noticed something was off with Jayce. Don't tell me the painkillers wore off already.
"Come on; you need to lie down."
"I'm fine."
Dang it, how the fuck are you going to recover if you will ignore you need rest?
The others walk into the room. Drift noticed Jayce is not doing well.
"Jayce?" Drift said as he knelt beside her. Bulma noticed Jayce is about to vomit and got the trash bin before she did.
"Get J.R. out of here, now!" She demanded.
"No!" J.R. cried and put up a fight, leading both Crosshairs and Hound to carry her out of the room.
Not good. Bulma watched Jayce lose consciousness and felt how stiff she was before Jayce's arms and legs started convulsing. Either she's getting hit with serious symptoms, or she has a serious injury.
Drift watched, frightened.
Jayce came out of it a minute later, frightened. Saying nothing, Bulma injected Jayce with the sedative she had.
"Did you just..."
"doubt she would calm down without it. Put her on the bed. I need to run some tests," Bulma watched Drift put Jayce on the bed, "go see if Crosshairs needs help. This will be a while."
Drift looked at Jayce before walking away out of the room.

Crosshairs was having a hard time getting J.R. to calm down.
Damn it; she's terrified.
Drift hated seeing J.R. was bawling when he walked into the room.
"Shit." Drift mumbled. He walked over to Crosshairs.
"Let me try to get her to calm down," Drift insisted.
"She's not going to at least until she knows Jayce is ok."
"You want me to go get the sedation injection Bulma has?"
"We will have to."

Drift found Bulma in the same room as two days ago. There was a man with her, but not Vegeta. Drift could only guess he was helping Bulma, hoping it wasn't a sign Jayce is more injured than Bulma thought. Bulma walks out a minute later.
"J.R. isn't calming down?" Bulma asks as she closed the door.
"No, as much as we'd rather not, she will need to be calmed by drugs."
"I'll go take care of her."
Drift just watched Jayce, asleep from the sedation drug, getting her head scanned again.

Crosshairs watched J.R. calm down after being injected. Bulma told him to take her back to the room.
"I'll take her back," Hound insisted. Crosshairs knew Hound wanted him to find Drift. He and Bulma walked back to the exam room.

Crosshairs saw how concerned Drift was when they got close to the room. He saw what kind of test Jayce was going through as Bulma walked back into the room. They watched for five minutes before deciding to go back to J.R.

Hound watched them walk into the room and sit on the chairs, facing J.R.
Shit. Either they just hate what's been going on the past forty-five minutes, or Jayce is more injured than Bulma thought. I know they hate how drugs had to be used to get J.R. to calm down.

Bulma comes in fifteen minutes later.
"Well, the good news is she doesn't have more serious injuries," she stopped, unsure how to explain what happened, "seizures are possible with concussions. Between the concussion and feeling frightened, she triggered what's called a Pseudoseizure."
"Shit. They're both going to be frightened most likely until this shit ends," Hound stated.
"I'll go get Jayce," Bulma says as she walks out of the room. Saying nothing, Drift and Crosshairs leave the room soon after Bulma.
"What are we going to do?" Crosshairs asks.
Drift sighed, "we will have to resort to sedating her. Unbelievable, how much more do they have to suffer?"
"They'll be asleep for a while, perhaps the entire night, go back with Bulma and be with Jamie," Crosshairs suggested.
"All right."

When Jayce was brought back to the room, all three mechs were relieved the girls were sleeping but hated how drugs were used. Everyone hated how Jayce needs sedation.
"... won't be like they are now. It depends on how she responds. She may sleep a lot, or she'll be relaxed. Either is good for her with the concussion."
"How will you deal with J.R.?" Hound asked, "she will not like this."
"She'll understand this will help Jayce with her recovery," Crosshairs assured him.
"I better go back," Bulma walks out of the room, Drift follows her.
They'll be ok, Drift, and I know you want to be with Jamie. Crosshairs watches them leave.

It surprised Cade to see Drift came back. Drift stood by the table and watched Bulma check on Jamie.
Come on, Jamie, show us you're fighting this.
Drift didn't ask about Jamie when Bulma was finished. He read the monitor before taking his place by Jamie while Bulma recorded her notes on her laptop.
"What took you so long?" Cade whispered.
"Jayce and J.R. after they read the monitor. With Jayce's concussion, she triggered a pseudoseizure, which frightened J.R. I had to use a syringe on both of them, and we will sedate Jayce for at least a day."
"Shit. Please tell me Jamie is showing signs of improving now?"
"No," Bulma said in a sad tone. Cade was getting concerned Bulma is giving up.
If she's giving up, then this isn't good. Cade thought as he walked to his trailer.

"Why don't you go back? They won't be waking up for hours, and Vegeta seems to come around," Hound suggested.
"Maybe later. Drift hasn't been able to be with Jamie as much as he'd like," Crosshairs moved a chair to the front of the room and sat down.
Or are you trying to avoid Jamie? Hound wondered before moving his chair next to Crosshairs and sitting down. Vegeta came by ten minutes later.
"Are they all right?" He asks. It surprised Hound Crosshairs told Vegeta what's going on instead of yelling at him to get out. Vegeta looked at the girls before leaving the room.
Damn it. I just hope the girls never go through this shit again, but Jadin will try again.
