J.R. still feels tired but rested enough to get out of bed. She peeks into Jayce's room but doesn't wake her up. She knew Bulma or Drift had drugged Jayce for her to sleep. J.R. is halfway down the stairs when she sees only Vegeta.
Oh no.
She walks down the rest of the stairs and walks up to him. Vegeta worried she'd get upset as he tried to get her to drink a bottle of the nutrition drink.
Damn it, I told Bulma not to rush them, but Crosshairs needs to get back here soon.
"Jamie didn't survive?" J.R. asks before bawling.
Shit. I don't understand how J.R. thinks this even though she saw the Autobots four hours ago; she's in a terrible mental state. Vefeta frets as he hugs J.R.
After five minutes of bawling, J.R. ended up in a seizure. Crosshairs and Drift return seconds after a seizure starts.
Shit. Crosshairs activated his holoform. Drift activates his holoform and goes to check on Jayce.
J.R. is out of the seizure a minute later, looks at Crosshairs; tears roll down her face. Crosshairs took her from Vegeta, moved to the couch, and held her with her head resting on his shoulder.
What the hell is going through your mind today? Crosshairs wondered.
He knew he couldn't ask Vegeta yet. Vegeta sat on the couch but kept his distance from Crosshairs.
You don't want to know what started this.

Drift comes down, asks Crosshairs if J.R. is ok before asking Vegeta for the syringe Bulma made for Jayce. He took it and a bottle of the nutrition drink. Both Crosshairs and Vegeta wondered if he would wake Jayce.

Drift sat on the chair by Jayce's desk. He wanted to wake her, knowing how long it's been since she drank a nutrition drink but knew it's good to let her sleep.
This is a disaster. I don't want to give up, but Jamie isn't strong enough to fight. Jayce and J.R. aren't doing good. I don't want to lose her, but I worry either Jayce or J.R. may resort to suicide.
Drift put the syringe and bottle on the desk, left the room, and went out to the balcony. While the balcony is on the second floor, Crosshairs can watch Drift go out to the balcony. It's an odd design choice by Jamie.

"Take her," Crosshairs insisted. Vegeta sat next to Crosshairs so he could move J.R. on to his lap. Crosshairs assured J.R. he'd be back.
Crosshairs wasn't sure if he should say anything to Drift; he just stood next to him.
"What happened with J.R.?" Drift asks.
"I don't know. I'm waiting until J.R. is asleep to ask, but I have an idea about what happened."
"This is a disaster."
Both of them are anxious about all three girls. They knew the others also are. Hound and Vegeta are helping the best they can. Bulma is becoming very stressed like Jayce, but there is no one to take care of Jamie, so Bulma can take a break. Crosshairs and Drift suspected Cade is mad at himself for not learning how to care for Jamie, though it isn't safe for him to learn how to while she's critical.

Drift went back to Jayce's room fifteen minutes later, Crosshairs followed him. Jayce wakes up ten minutes later. As Crosshairs and Drift expected, she was very uncomfortable.
Damn it; she still needs drugs to not feel like shit. Crosshairs thought as he gave Drift the syringe. Jayce felt better within five minutes, so she could sit up and drink the nutrition drink. Drift knew Jayce would want him to hold her. They both watched the tears roll down her face. Crosshairs left the room and took J.R. from Vegeta. She was still quiet, though Crosshairs thought she'd be asleep.

What a fucking nightmare. Vegeta goes to Jamie's room, sits on the bed, and looks at the photo on the end table.

"She's stable; I'm going to check on the girls,"
Bulma tells Cade. She knew he still didn't like her leaving Jamie for long. Hound goes back with her.

"What happened?" Bulma asks, looking at J.R. Crosshairs tells her how J.R. had a seizure, but he didn't know what happened before that. Hearing J.R. had a seizure and how she's been quiet for the past ninety minutes concerned Bulma. Crosshairs told her Jayce woke up and had a bottle of the nutrition drink before wanting Drift to hold her. Bulma knew Jayce was ok, so she sat next to Crosshairs and looked over J.R.
Vegeta came down the stairs fifteen minutes later. Bulma rushed to him so they can go to talk about what happened with J.R. Though Vegeta wanted to wait until he could tell Crosshairs and Drift. Bulma is shocked at what caused the seizure.
That's how bad her mental state is, and with those two having a hard time hiding how upset they are, I don't know what we can do. Bulma fretted.
Bulma tells Vegeta they must wait until he can tell Crosshairs and Drift what happened. She tells him to get her when the girls are asleep before leaving. Crosshairs watched her leave, trying not to worry that Jamie was declining already.

Cade hated hearing that J.R. had a seizure and what caused it.
This is a disaster. J.R.'s mental state is declining, and I think Jayce would be the same way if she didn't take painkillers to deal with post-concussion syndrome.
"What are you going to do?" He asks.
"You know there's nothing we can do. I don't know what we will do if Drift and Crosshairs stay away from them for a while longer," Bulma replied.

Are you this upset I left? Crosshairs wondered, since J.R. still didn't want to let go, though he knew she most likely wouldn't do anything besides lay on the couch. Drift brought Jayce down and sat on the couch, leaving little space between him and Crosshairs. They both looked at each other, knowing they need to figure out what to do about this. Hound and Vegeta tried to get the girls to let go so the two mechs can see Jamie, but Crosshairs and Drift insisted on waiting until the girls went to sleep. Hound waited until Vegeta could talk to Crosshairs and Drift to find out what happened. He and Vegeta decided to see Jamie.

"... I'd rather hear Crosshairs complain he's bored then watch all this shit happen," Hound finished telling Bulma and Cade about the girls. Though she didn't understand why Crosshairs would complain that he's bored, Bulma knew anything was better than this situation.
"I can't believe how bad Jayce and J.R. have gotten mentally," Cade says.
"It's hard to say if this is how they respond to shit like this or because Jadin is the one who caused this situation. There's nothing we can do but make sure they're not neglecting or harming themselves, which is difficult."
"Have you been here all day, Bee? Hound asks as he and Vegeta join him and Cade by Jamie. Bee nods yes.
We're all too afraid to leave her, but we can't bring Jayce and J.R. here. I know Crosshairs and Drift want to be with Jamie. Bulma watched the others by Jamie for a minute before returning to her work.

Two hours pass before Hound goes back to Jamie's dimension, but he leaves. His quick return alarms the others. They worried something was wrong. Hound explained to them he found the girls, Crosshairs, and Drift sleeping on the couch.
They agreed to leave them alone for a few hours.

Jayce woke up a half-hour later. She didn't expect to see Crosshairs and Drift asleep, but figured J.R. would be asleep, though not on the couch.
No surprise, I'm still dealing with this fucking headache and feeling dizzy. I'm tired of this shit.
She tried to get up and go to her room, but she ended up tripping over Drift's feet, which woke him up. He watched the tears roll down Jayce's face as she tried to stand up. Drift got up and picked her up. Jayce is too uncomfortable to fight him. He took her to her room and laid her on the bed. Drift hated what Jayce told him as she cried. He didn't want to leave her alone, but he had to get the painkillers and water. By now, Crosshairs is awake, watching Drift get painkillers and water.
She's still dealing with headaches and dizziness. Damn it.
Crosshairs wanted to talk to Drift but didn't want to leave J.R.

A half-hour later, Jayce and J.R. want to watch T.V. while drinking the nutrition drink. Crosshairs and Drift were happy to see the girls wanted to do something, though they wondered why now? It was a good time to have Bulma, Hound, and Vegeta come back and talk about J.R. though they didn't expect Bumblebee and Cade to come. They knew Bulma wouldn't let Cade come if she didn't think Jamie would be fine, but knowing how she can decline, they worried about how no one was watching her.
"Come on, you know I wouldn't leave her if she wasn't stable enough. She's ok for now," Bulma says, knowing Crosshairs and Drift worry about Jamie."Look, if you'd rather, I'll go back. I already know what happened," Cade jumps in.
"If Bulma thinks it's fine, then it's fine," Drift says.
They stood far enough so the girls couldn't hear them but close enough to still see them.
As Vegeta expected, Crosshairs and Drift hated hearing what caused the emotional seizure this time, just like Bulma, Bumblebee, and Cade.
"Damn it, J.R. is worse than I thought, and Jayce might be like her if she wasn't dealing with other crap," Crosshairs says, watching the girls.
"I told you, the longer this crap goes on, the more terrified they become," Drift says.
"I think we all are," Hound says.
Bumblebee points to the girls, and they see Jayce go back to her room.
"She's fine; the light from the T.V. is most likely bothering her," Bulma assures everyone.
Drift listens quietly, thinking about what he was just told.
"Drift?" Crosshairs gets his attention. "What are you thinking?"
Everyone looks at him. Drift sighed after a minute of thinking. He had a hard time telling everyone that maybe it's time to end this, even though it's the way none of them want.
"No, Drift, I don't think you mean it," Crosshairs says, trying not to be angry at him.
"You fucking bastard!" Vegeta is in Drift's face, "do you think Jamie would give up no matter how injured you were!? No, she'd refuse to give up!" Vegeta yelled. Everyone watches, waiting for a fight to break out and worried J.R. can hear them. Drift just walks upstairs, out to the balcony. Everyone still worried now Crosshairs would start an argument with Vegeta. They went distracted and didn't know J.R. heard everything. She ran to her room.
"I'm sorry, but I had to."
"I was about to say the same thing to him. I know it's hard for him to watch the three girls struggle; it's hard for all of us."
"I hate - to interrupt," Bumblebee jumps in and points to where everyone thought J.R. was.
"Shit, she heard us, not good," Bulma says and runs up the stairs; crosshairs activates his holoform and follows her.
"Great, I get why Drift wants to end this, even if it's not the way we want. Jayce and J.R. are struggling mentally and emotionally, and it's causing serious effects on them. Still, I wouldn't give up on Jamie," Cade looks at Vegeta, "I didn't tell her about your idea. I think she'd say it's pointless even though she's not done with the test or knows what to do afterward."

Bulma comes down the stairs ten minutes later.
"This is the third time this has happened. Damn it, it's not good for J.R. to deal with this, but it's a challenge to prevent this from happening. Jayce is asleep. I'm staying here for a while to make sure J.R. wakes up and is ok."
"I'm going back," Cade says as he walks away. Bumblebee and Vegeta go with him.

Drift comes in twenty minutes later but doesn't bother asking what's going on before finding Crosshairs. He looks in J.R.'s room and hates what he sees.
Shit, she heard Vegeta.
He wasn't sure if he should go into the room or not, but he is worried about J.R.

A half-hour passes before J.R. wakes up.
Good, not as long as the last two times, but this is still unusual.
Crosshairs sat on the bed and held J.R., who is quiet; crosshairs worried she is thinking about what she heard Vegeta say.
He took her downstairs so Bulma could make sure she was ok. Hound tells Crosshairs that Drift went back to Cade's dimension. Bulma left as soon as she was sure J.R. was ok.
I can't leave her even if Hound is here.

"I didn't know you came back here," Bulma says to Drift as she walks into the building. It's no surprise that Bumblebee, Cade, Drift, and Vegeta were standing by Jamie. Bulma sits at the table and resumes her work. Drift looks over, wondering what she has been working on before looking at Jamie again. Vegeta looked at Drift, wondering how long will he stay.
I should have told him my plan, but if the test doesn't show the desired results.

Jayce went back downstairs fifteen minutes later but didn't like that Drift was not around, though she knew he was back in Cade's dimension.
I want him to be with Jamie, but I also want him here.
She sat on the other side of Crosshairs. Hound turned the T.V. on. The Autobots have spent enough time with the girls in Jamie's dimension to know what they like to watch. He knew Jayce wouldn't watch T.V. for long.

A half-hour passed before Drift steps away from Jamie and leaves the building. Bulma follows him. He walks to the back of the property and slid down the fence to the ground. Bulma sat next to him, unsure what to say.
"I don't think you want to let Jamie go," she finally said after five minutes of silence.
"No," Drift says in a sad tone, "you see how much Jayce and J.R. are struggling mentally and emotionally. I'm tired of watching all three of them struggle. We're out of options, even if the test shows the desired results. She's not strong enough to fight this. I can't take her flatlining again."
"And you know Vegeta is right; Jamie wouldn't give up if you or anyone else had severe injuries or hanging by a thread. Though this is different because there's not much I can do to help her, I'm not giving up on Jamie."
Drift said nothing; Bulma waited five minutes before leaving him alone.

Bulma returns to the building and her work. Vegeta waits five minutes before walking up to the table.
"I have an idea on how we can help Jamie."
"I already told you-."
"I know, I thought maybe if I gave her some of my energy, she could have the strength to fight this, or nothing will happen."
Bulma thought about what Vegeta said.
"That might work. Does anyone else know?"
"Bumblebee, Cade, and Hound. I wasn't sure if I should tell Crosshairs and Drift."
"I don't think it would matter if you told them now or after the test."
Vegeta went back to Jamie.

Crosshairs joined them an hour later. He was expecting to find Drift with them.
"Did he drive off again?" Crosshairs asks Bulma fifteen minutes later.
"I don't think so. Drift should be at the back of the property," Bulma tells him. Crosshairs walks out of the building to find Drift.

Good, he didn't drive off. Crosshairs sat next to Drift but said nothing. Drift knew Crosshairs was here because the girls were asleep.
"J.R. went to sleep, no problem, though it most likely means she's exhausted and might wake up in the middle of the night. They wanted to watch T.V., which is strange but good. Jayce didn't watch T.V. for long. I think the light bothered her. She had no problem going to sleep."
Drift was happy the girls are doing something, though both he and Crosshairs knew it didn't mean the girls were doing better. Crosshairs then repeated what Vegeta said to him.
Drift could hear the sadness in his voice. He knew, like everyone else and himself, Crosshairs worries there is nothing more Bulma can do to help Jamie. They'd either Jamie continue on the path she's been on or let her go.

After saying nothing for a half-hour, Crosshairs insisted the two of them see Jamie. He knew Drift wanted to but, like him, hated seeing how bad Jamie is doing. Drift agreed to go with him. They figured Cade was still with Jamie. Bulma watched them, seeing how both concerned Crosshairs and Drift are. She debated telling them about Vegeta's plan, but worried about how it could just be false hope.

Hound and Vegeta worried how bad the night could be. Vegeta debated taking the girls back to his dimension, knowing Jayce already hurt herself with a weapon Jamie has at her base. After Hound told him how they did something and seeing how scared J.R. got not seeing Crosshairs, he wasn't sure if he should take them to his dimension.
"... I'm not sure if she panicked not seeing any of you guys or because she didn't see Crosshairs. She wouldn't let him go when he came back."
"Might find out tomorrow. Those two might stay with Jamie all night."
They made a plan in case Crosshairs, and Drift didn't come back. J.R. was calm, but they made a plan if she woke up and ended up having a panic attack and needed Crosshairs. They'd also check on Jayce a few times overnight, knowing she has been trying to ignore the pain, which would mean she'd end up being up all night.
I hope I'm right, and my plan works. Even if it does, who knows how long Jamie will take to recover fully. I could end up just giving her enough to stop flatlining, and she could still take a long time to wake up.
"I'm going back, but I'll be quick," Hound says and walks away.

Hound knew Crosshairs and Drift would be with Jamie. He noticed how they were trying to avoid reading the monitor. He knew at this point; they were afraid to see her decline again. Hound read the monitor and is relieved Jamie is still stable for now. He moved a chair close to Bulma.
"Do you know if Vegeta's idea will help?" Hound whispered.
"At most, he'll give her enough strength to stop flatlining."
"Damn, that's how weak she is."
"Yes," Bulma sighed, "Jamie will most likely still decline again. Vegeta's energy may just prevent her from flatlining for a little longer; I don't know..."
Hound watched her try not to tear up. He got her to walk out of the building with him. The others didn't notice.

"I know you hate how you don't have the answers. You know Jamie is a fighter."
"I don't even know the test results. Even if it's good, I can't tell Crosshairs and Drift about the plan and how it might not work. I wouldn't have told anyone, but Vegeta told you, Cade and Bumblebee, before telling me."
"Because he was waiting until he saw the test results and knew you'd worry like you are now. Why he didn't wait, I don't know."
"Well, I'm not telling Crosshairs and Drift. I hate telling everyone without knowing the outcome and telling them-."
"Tell us what, Bulma?" Drift asks. Bulma saw the Drift and Crosshairs walking towards them.
"No, I can't.." Bulma couldn't finish before starting to cry. Drift hugged her and tried to get her to calm down. Crosshairs wanted to ask Hound what Bulma refuses to tell them. After watching the girls struggle, he is worried about Bulma, worried she was slowly ending up like the girls. Bulma didn't take long to calm down.
"What's the problem, Bulma? I don't care what it is, please tell me," Drift insisted. Crosshairs also insisted she tells them. Bulma did what they asked, and while they understood her concern and why she didn't want to tell them, they were happy she did. Everyone felt a little more hopeful, but aware Vegeta's plan could just be a temporary solution. Bulma told them they'd find out if Vegeta could even do his plan tomorrow. Crosshairs and Drift wanted to go back to the girls, but worried Bulma would be up all night. Bulma insisted they go back, knowing what happened when J.R. overheard Drift and since she overhead Vegeta today. Hound went to see Jamie, and Bulma returned to her work.

It surprised Vegeta to hear Bulma told Crosshairs and Drift about his plan. Vegeta knew the others worried this wouldn't work; everyone is worried. The three of them went to check on the girls, who are still asleep. Both Crosshairs and Drift stayed in J.R.'s room. The girls may end up having a nightmare, and Jayce would ignore the headache, or at least try to, concerned the two, but they were more worried about J.R. Vegeta stayed with Jayce.

J.R. slept for six hours before being woken up by a nightmare and ending up with a severe panic attack. Vegeta sees J.R. and Crosshairs trying to help her get her breathing under control before giving Drift a syringe. He tells both of them how Jayce woke up and tried to deal with the headache, but he took care of her, and she's asleep before going downstairs. Crosshairs held J.R. once she was breathing returned to normal.
"Damn it; this is bad," Crosshairs felt J.R. trembling, "It's already late; doubt she'll fall asleep soon."
Drift nodded and gave Crosshairs the syringe. J.R. is asleep twenty minutes later. Crosshairs laid her in bed.

"This is becoming a nightly problem," Crosshairs sighed. They left the room, went down the stairs, and sat on the couch.
"That bad?" Vegeta asked.
"Yes, worse than they have been. The longer this goes on, the more terrified she gets and most likely Jayce, but you've seen how uncomfortable she has been. The painkillers seem to keep her calm, and she sleeps when the drug kicks in," Crosshairs explains. Vegeta goes to bed, knowing the girls will be asleep for a while. Drift went back to Cade's dimension, though he knew Bulma would be asleep. Crosshairs wasn't sure what to think about Drift wanting to be with Jamie at two A.M. and knowing Bulma would be asleep. Crosshairs let Drift have time alone with Jamie and went to Jamie's room.
