One.. by... one.
They only fall... a-part.
Can it be.. undone?

Cain was silent again, before sighing quietly.

"I... well..." he stammered.

"Hmm." he mumbled.

"Well, if it gets REALLY bad... we can retreat to Mom's 'experiment room'." he suggested.

"Remember I told you that Mom constructed a room for where she could do more volatile experiments without risk of leveling the house?" he asked her. "Dad realised that it was sturdy and strong enough to be used as an emergency shelter. So... we sort of half-converted it." he continued.

"It's still where she goes for those kinds of experiments, but... there's supplies and such down there now." he went on.

"It should protect us, if the need arises." he assured her.

"Now, for the MOMENT? I... guess just try and ride it out." he sighed.

"Maybe find some way to pass the time and keep our minds off of it."

Lunet just sighed lightly.

"Yeah, that's definitely an option." She agreed. "I mean... we're both nigh on indestructible, but still."

"I still don't want to die." She admitted after a moment or two.

"...I don't, either." Cain responded. "Or, well, whatever the equivalent is for me." he then muttered. "I honestly have NO idea what would constitute 'death' for me, and there's been NO others like me in the history of anything, so... it's very much uncharted territory." he reasoned.

"But... I don't want to find out." he said.

He then looked around, before shaking his head slightly.

"For now... uh... you hungry? Or want to eat?" he asked.

"I think there's some pizza in the fridge from last night."

Lunet just sighed.

"Yeah... yeah sure." She answered after a moment or two.

Meanwhile, Hollie was finally released, and she approached where Hal was sitting.

"Hey." She said with a soft wave.

"Sorry about that... You ok?" She asked. She was still using her staff for support, but at least she was up and about, and the slice wasn't still bleeding as it'd been closed.

Hal looked over towards her, and sighed in relief.

"Hey." he replied.

"At least you're up and about." he said. "Angela really IS a miracle worker." he commented further.

"I'll need to compensate her for this." he mumbled quietly.

"And I'm fine." he said to her.

"How are YOU feeling?"

"I hurt." Hollie answered after a moment or two.

"A lot, but the toxins from it being a draydin attack has been taken care of." She added.

"However, I just want to go some where to crash for a bit." She then said.

"With what's going on, am I going home, your office, or with you to your place?"

"...." Hal was silent for a moment, thinking about it, before sighing.

"That... is a very good question." he said.

"It depends on how stable your home is for this sort of thing." he told her.

"This building IS reinforced to stand against such things, and my office DOES double as a place to sleep and such." he reasoned further.

"But it's all up to you, really." he went on.

"How safe would you feel at your home, my home, or... well, how is your health doing, in relation to dealing with the outside weather?"

"I think it's more I don't really want to be alone with what's going on." Hollie told him simply.

"And as a result, I'm staying with you. Or if you don't want me here, I will go to my brother." She added.

"I admit, I'm a bit wary of Anna right now. She was targetting me, and most certainly could elude Rene. Easily."

Again, Hal sighed.

"Well... hm." he said, crossing his arms over his chest.

"I want to check on Lunet, make sure she's okay..." he went on. "Let her know YOU'RE recovering..." he said further.

"Actually, here may be the best and safest place for us." he reasoned.

"I'll have a dorm reserved for us." he said.

"Unless you feel you need to be home for any Council-related duties. Then I'll stay with you at your manor."

Hollie shook her head.

"I can get out of here easily enough to get there and back for council stuff. My home is off limits to them, for them, and they can't really contact me there anyway. They call." She told him.

"And I can call my brother to let him know that he may need to fill in for me for a bit, and that I'll be here, anyhow." She added

"Okay then." Hal responded.

"I know that Lunet is with Cain, so... hmmm." he mumbled.

"I'll go and tell her everything, and be back in a few minutes." he continued.

"...or I can use the line in my office. Cell communications seem to be unstable, but landlines appear to be stable for now." he then said further. "So I'll call Reveka's home phone and inform them of this." he finished.

"For now, we need to make sure you have a comfortable place to rest and recuperate."

"Let's do what needs to be done. Because yeah, it'd be nice to have somewhere to rest. I'm not completely good, yet." Hollie commented after a moment or two.

"I do want to know what is going on, but that is something that will have ot be figured out later. I doubt anyone can find out immediately. However... what Andrew said really is sticking with me. Something about the planet being out of sync, or something."

She woke with a start before racing to the bathroom, barely managing to make it to the porcelain receptacle before she vomited. This time though, there was red to it, which was alarming.

She didn't have the strength to get to her feet, or even call out for Zeke though.

Whatever this bug was, was really doing a number on her. She was sure she'd survive, but for the moment... she'd actually prefer death with how horrible she was feeling.

Hal was shocked to hear that, and was silent for a moment.

"Out of sync?" he asked.

"Oh dear..." he muttered. "That... that might very well be something that needs investigating. Post-haste." he told her.

---

Zeke, who had been downstairs, heard the hurried footsteps, and when he started to make his way to where he'd heard them, he heard Liv retching and vomiting. And it sounded bad.

Very bad.

"...Liv!?" he called up as he ascended the stairs.

"Are you okay!?"

Liv didn't say anything, couldn't for the moment. As he knocked on the door, he heard silence.

She'd laid down on the tiled floor, the cold from it helping, and honestly didn't have the strength to say or do anything else for the moment anyhow. She knew she'd caught the flu, but it had never been quite this bad before.

This was record breakingly bad, in her opinion.

Zeke knocked once more, before taking the initiative, and opening the door.

"Liv?" he asked as he did so... only to stop dead in his tracks when he saw what he did.

"Liv!" he exclaimed, making his way towards her.

"Oh, good heavens." he muttered, kneeling down beside her.

He looked at what she had heaved up... before looking back at the girl.

"...you might need to see your mother..."

The blonde teen was completely silent as Zeke knelt next to her.

"....hi," She said quietly, weakly. He was able to see how pale she was, along with how flushed her face was as well.

She really wasn't looking good, at all.

Zeke pressed his wrist against her forehead, and whipped it away almost instantly.

"Oh!" he exclaimed.

"Oh, shit!" he cursed.

"...yeah, you really DO need to see a medic. Probably your mother." he said further, grabbing his cell phone and checking it... only to find that he wasn't getting any service. Still.

"Damn it." he growled lightly.

"Liv, sweetie..." he said to her, gently picking her up in his arms.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you're okay."

Liv was silent, and most certainly uncomfortably wamr for him to hold. She just rested her head against him, and nodded. She didn't have the strength to say anything for the moment, sadly.

Angela was sitting in her office, nursing a blossoming headache. She had Nate running around for her, mostly because they couldn't find the ibuprofen and she'd asked him to find him.

She was also hoping the darkness, the silence, would help. However, it was doing nigh on nothing.

After a moment or so, her desk phone rang. It was loud, it was sharp, it caused her to jump a little, and it caused her to curse the device out. Until she saw the call was coming from her own home. That sparked confusion, and a little concern.

"...hello?" she answered it hesitantly.

"Angela, I'm bringing Liv there." Zeke told her.

"She was puking in the toilet earlier, there was red in it, and her fever is spiking to alarming levels." he reported.

"She needs a medic. She needs her mother. You're both."

"Excuse me?" Angela asked, her voice sharp, promising potential trouble.

"You have got to be kidding me." She added.

"I assure you, I am completely serious." Zeke answered. Angela just sighed.

"Sadly. I would prefer this was a cruel prank. Wahtever, I'll get an area ready." Angela said as she got to her feet.

"See you soon."
