Fleetway slowly stretched and yawned, opening his eyes to find himself sprawled out on the couch. Scourge was no where to be seen, Fleetway sat up quickly "Scourge??" He said confused before getting up and tossing the blanket onto the couch. He noticed the bathroom door was closed so he walked over and tapped on the door

"You alright in there-?" He asks as he could hear Scourge throwing up, he hoped his cooking wasn't the reason for Scourge's illness. He waited outside the door for a few moments before Scourge opened the door, Scourge was deathly pale and his legs were shaking under his weight. Fleetway's eyes widened "Oh god..." he said helping Scourge back to the couch "Stay here I'll get you a bucket..." he said dashing off for a moment before returning.

Once Scourge was tucked in, had some water and had a bucket nearby Fleetway flushed vomit down the toilet since Scourge had forgetten before spamming Jules's phone with panicked messages

Jules!

Please respond!

He's gotten worse his been throwing up and he looks so pale his muzzle is more white then peach!!

Hello!??

Fleetway rubbed his temples and paced around in front of the couch as Scourge watched him, it surprised Scourge how badly Fleetway was freaking out. He only had a bad fever, Scourge started to put two and two together 'This guy has never been sick.. or taken care of someone who is sick' Scourge thought to himself, he studied Fleetway more closely noticing his resemblance to Super Sonic. 'He can fly, he can go fast... he looks like Sonic.. is he another Sonic from a different zone??' Scrouge couldn't shake that thought.

Fleetway, his fever has probably increased. It is normal and he needs rest make sure he's sleeping well and keep him warm and comfortable, use a damp cloth to cool his forehead it'll help him recover.

Fleetway stared at the text "Mortals are fucked.." he frowns and flys off to the kitchen getting a cold damp cloth for Scourge 'This motherfucker just called me a mortal? What is he??' Scourge was feeling too sick to really care at this point and the couch was comfy enough to make him sleepy. He yawned and closed his eyes he could feel Fleetway apply the cold cloth to his forehead as he drifted off to a dreamless sleep.

Fleetway stepped away from Scourge and immediately took off to Jules's house. Knocking on the door (More so banging on the door like he was going to break it) before Sonic was the one to answer "Oh- Sonic didn't know you'd be here, I need to talk with Jules it's kind of important" Fleetway said as Sonic frowned "What could you possibly want with my dad?" He asks tapping his foot "Uhhh how to care for a sick hedgehog" Fleetway answered honestly as he hung his head

"What?" Sonic said confused as Jules walked over to them "I see Scourge isn't getting better?" Jules asks as Fleetway nodded "If anything he's gotten worse, I'm not sure if it's my cooking or his fever or I didn't cover him properly or maybe my house is too cold-" he was cut of by Jules "Fleetway... It could be any of those, I tell you what take me and my son to your place so we can see what could be causing him to get worse?" Jules suggested as Sonic frowned but nodded

Fleetway held out his arms "Grab on tight" he said as Sonic gave his father a look of 'you better explain this later' as both Sonic and Jules grabbed onto Fleetway's arms. Within two seconds they were on Fleetway's porch, Sonic looked around "This place is musty" he looked down at the pool of water below the deck and backed up "That's alot of water.." he said as Jules was scanning the area "This isn't ideal living conditions but not the worst for Scourge seeing he can't escape" Jules said as Fleetway lead them inside.

"Okay- this is freezing" Sonic said as Fleetway nodded "Knew it would be something like that.." he said walking over to the left wall where there was a window and a small grey box "How high should the tempture be?" He asks as Jules thought for a moment "18 degrees celsius would be ideal" he said watching as Fleetway turned up the temperature. Sonic had made his way across the area into the living room (The house is a very open plan the only things closed off in the first floor is the guest room and the bathroom)

Sonic looked at Scourge who was laying on the couch half curled up in a ball and snoring softly. Fleetway and Jules walked over "Glad to see you didn't leave him alone while he was awake" Jules said in a soft tone as Fleetway nodded "He hasn't said a word to me the last day and a half he's been here it's like he's gone mute" Fleetway muttered as Sonic raised an eyebrow "Normally he can't shut up" he said honestly "I can't see why he wouldn't speak to me.." Fleetway said slightly offended but tried to not let it show.

"He just needs time to understand what's going on, he's confused after all he's never been properly cared for." Jules said as Sonic huffed "How do you know?" He asks crossing his arms "It's simple really, his outbursts are directed towards you Sonic because he sees what he could have been. He doesn't see himself worthy because no one ever told him he was good enough to make the right choices" Jules said making Fleetway lower his ears "I don't want him to feel like that.. I care about him despite knowing him for only a day" He blinked at that, he sounded stupid.

"That's only your theory dad we won't know unless Scourge says it himself" Sonic said walking away towards the door "We found out what's wrong with him now can we leave??" Sonic asks as Fleetway huffed "Wow what's up your ass?" He asks as Jules follows after Sonic "Oh nothing just my second biggest enemy is staying with someone who is supposed to be changing for the better??" Sonic growls

"Sonic. YOUR father put me up to the task to make him a better person. I am going to do it even if it means you hate me I don't care!" Fleetway snapped "Now get out off my house before I throw you in the water below!" He growls grabbing Sonic's arm with force but being much more caring to Jules who just remained quiet knowing Fleetway's explosive temper. Fleetway dropped them off at their place pretty much throwing Sonic face first in the dirt and returned to Scourge who was wide eyed when he returned.

"What's wrong?"
