Back at the hideout, everyone is hanging out in the living room, trying to adjust to their new living conditions with Wolf, making sure he remains stable. Suddenly, Snake remembers something.

"Oh shit... Wolf! I forgot to check your wounds!" The serpent says, and frantically slithers around the canine to check his back.

"Wait, what?" Webs says.

"Yeah, he got shot by cops the other day." Snake says.

"Still hurts like a son of a bitch, I can't believe I forgot to remind you..." Wolf sighs.

"Are you okay bro?" Shark asks with worry.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Wolf says.

"Are you sure Chico? I've been shot once before, and it shouldn't be taken lightly." Piranha warns.

"Heh, don't worry pal. I'm okay." Wolf chuckles.

"Uhhh... this doesn't look okay I'm afraid." Snake says with a worried expression.

"What do you mean?" Wolf asks.

"Ewwww it's all infected!" Webs groans.

"Yeah... that." Snake sighs.

"Oh no... am I gonna die?" Wolf asks in a panicked voice.

"Not if we get you an anti biotic." Snake reassures.

"That's true, if we treat it fast enough you should be fine!" Webs says.

"And what about the wound itself, infection aside? Will I still need something to cover it up?" Wolf asks.

"Ehhhh, I'd say it's fine now. You aren't bleeding anymore, and the holes have noticeably gotten smaller. Wow, even when not in curse mode you are still a fast healer buddy!" Snake says, clearly impressed.

"Heh, thanks." Wolf smirks.

"I'll get the anti biotic." Shark says suddenly.

"Huh? Why?" Webs asks.

"Yeah, we should go together. Well, Wolf aside of course. He definitely can't show his face in public for at least a while." Snake says.

"Wait... you were planning on leaving me alone? I'm bleeding and can turn psycho killer any minute!" Wolf protests.

"Buddy, it's fine! You aren't bleeding anymore. And don't worry about turning, I know you can control it!" Snake says, attempting to reassure his friend.

"No, Wolfie's right. One of us should stay back and make sure Wolf doesn't lose himself." Webs says.

"Why can't I just do this myself? It's just a walk to the pharmacy and back." Shark says.

"Because there's a killer on the loose Hermano, remember?" Piranha says.

"I know, but she's not after us! Only Wolf!" Shark says, only to realize what he just revealed and covers his mouth with his fins, eyes widened in regret.

"Damn it big tuna!" Snake grumbles.

"He wasn't supposed to know about that! At least not yet..." Webs says.

"Woah... what? There's some psycho after me and you planned on keeping it a secret?" Wolf asks.

"We didn't want to worry you Chico." Piranha explains.

"I think I still have every right to know if I'm in danger!" Wolf huffs, growling slightly.

"Uh-oh." Webs says.

"Buddy, chillax!" Shark says.

"Please, just calm down okay? Remember, anger triggers the transformation!" Snake warns.

"Ugh... fine. I'm sorry, I know you were just trying to protect me. It's just that... all of this at once is a lot to handle you know? Sheesh, a psycho killer is after me, and apparently I've been cursed for possibly the rest of my life to have some evil alter ego just waiting for any opportunity to emerge... it's, to put it simply, batshit nuts!" Wolf says.

"Heh, yeah. It's nuts alright. But everything will be fine as long as we work together to get through this." Snake says.

"I hope so... hey, why is she after me anyway?" Wolf asks.

"That doctor you killed mercilessly, well... it's his sister." Piranha says.

"Well shit. I'm royally fucked." Wolf says.

"No, you're not. We're going to get you those anti biotics and then think of something to deal with that witch!" Shark says.

"Shark wait... don't go. What if that psycho decides to come after YOU? She must know about our affiliation with Wolf, given how famous, or rather infamous, we were back in the day. She might try to kidnap you and hold you hostage for leverage or even straight up kill you!" Webs warns.

"She's right shark... don't risk your life over this." Wolf says.

"But Wolf... if we don't treat that infection you're going to die!" Shark protests.

"Don't worry Hermano, I'll come with you as back up!" Piranha says.

"I still don't know about this guys..." Snake says.

"Actually, this might work." Webs says, much to the shock of Wolf & Snake.

"What do you mean?" Wolf asks.

"Well, think about it. If 1 person leaves, that makes them extremely vulnerable to an attack. But if 3 people leaves, that means 1 of us will be alone with Wolf, and worst case scenario no one will be around to help stop him if he goes apeshit. So, naturally, two teams of 2 is the only logical solution. 2 to get the anti biotic, and 2 to stay back and watch over Wolf." Webs explains.

"I'm impressed!" Snake says.

"Thanks grump." Webs jokes, earning an eye roll and chuckle from said serpent.

"You know what? That's why you're the brains of this operation, Webs!" Wolf compliments.

"Oh, little ol' me? Sure, I may be the smartest, but let's be honest Wolfie, you're by far the hottest!" Webs says with a giggle.

Wolf blushes like a tomato, causing everyone to laugh.

"Oh, that's too funny!" Snake says, wiping away a tear with his tail.

"Hehehehe. So I guess it's settled? Me & Piranha will go get the anti biotic?" Shark asks.

"I guess so." Webs says.

"Wait a minute. No offence, but how is Webs supposed to help Snake if Wolf goes out of control?" Piranha asks.

"I have my scientific inventions that make up for my small size, remember?" Webs says with annoyance.

"Oh, right. My bad." Piranha says, slightly embarrassed.

"Well, good luck you two!" Wolf says.

"Yeah, try to come back in one piece, eh?" Snake chuckles.

"Thanks, and we will! Cya later guys! Be back as soon as possible." Shark says.

"Cya." The other three say in unison as Shark & Piranha enter the elevator and the door closes and they head down.
