The group stood in the dimly lit Med-Jack hut, discussing the tubes of blue serum that had arrived within the pocket of Tearesa's jeans. As Thomas explained that it could possibly help Alby, Athena just sat on a stool next to the bed of her ill friend, as he gasped for air, restrained by ropes around him. "We don't even know what this stuff is." Newt said in reply to Thomas' suggestion. "We don't know who sent or why it came up here with you."

"Well it's painfully obvious who sent it but ok." She said lowly, examining the tube in her hand.

"I mean, for all we know it could kill him" Newt said either not hearing Athena or ignoring her.

"He's already dying." Thomas stated, gesturing to Alby who was starting to struggle more and more to breath. "Look at him, how could this possibly make it worse?"

"In multiple ways actually." Athena explained, causing the group to look at her as she just continued to stare at the blue liquid, "But I do have to agree with them pair Newt, they make valid points. The green bean did arrive here after Alby had been stung, I mean what else could possibly go wrong at this point."

"All right, Do it." Newt said agreeing with them, but looking at Alby in defeat their leader started to sob, and handed the tube back to Thoma.

Athena followed in suit, standing up to go stand by Newt. "My name's Teresa by the way." she said, sounding almost annoyed at the nickname Athena said.

"Oh I know. But I just wanted to stick with old traditions before everything goes to shit." She said throwing the tube towards the girl which she luckily caught, and sent a death glader towards Athena which she only replied with a smirk and leant against the wall next to Newt to watch Thomas inject Alby with the weird substance.

Thomas hesitated and looked at the group only to receive intimidating glares as if they were shouting 'DO IT!' at him causing him to become more nervous.

"Ok," as he turned back to do it, he was met with a panicking infected Alby pulling Thomas' shirt towards his face. The five others in the room went to the pair to pull them off each other, but Alby breathlessly said;

"You shouldn't be here! You shouldn't be here! Ahhhhh!" he shouted as the group tried to restrain him.

One the group got Thomas off him Teresa stabbed the serinje into Alby's chest causing him to become alarmingly calm almost instantly. All looking at each other wordless of what just happened; "Well, that worked." Jeff said looking surprised at the outcome.

"Ok, from now on, someone stays here and watches him around the clock," Newt commanded the Med-Jacks with his accent showing.

"Hey," Gally said showing up in the doorway of the hut "Sundown Greenie, time to go." he said as he walked out waiting for Thomas to follow.

Once Thomas had walked off with Gally and Teresa returned to her bed in the Med-Jack hut not feeling comfortable to be around the boys, Newt and Athena went to walk about before Athena stopped and turned to the two Med-Jacks "Oh, before I forget, Jeff, Clint, try not to do too much making out while your looking after Alby." she said playfully leaving the three boys left in the room shocked.

"Wait what?"

"How did you know that?"

"We will try"

Having no desire to reply she simply walked out winking at the two flustered boys and Newt soon followed after her. "Wait, so Jeff and Clint are a thing?" he asked shocked at this new found knowledge.
