The figure stood there, holding his side. He slumped over in front of the machine lying there groaning in pain. Adam went over to the body and turned him over. It was-
Adam: Kr-Kramer?
Kramer: No, it's Mickey Mouse. Who do you think it is Adam?
Adam: oh my God, professor how are you alive?
Kramer: Wait...what are you talking about? How did you know that I almost died?
Adam: We sent a camera through the door! And we watched as the other Kramer shot you...
Kramer: You must have seen the wrong reality because I dodged it, kicked the gun out of his hand and then went into the door.
Kramer was starting to groan and cough in pain. the blood was subdued but it was still dripping through his shirt. Adam went straight to the first aid kit and then ripped the shirt where the injury resided. He then looked at the wound and found it was a perforated rip through his skin...it was a perfect circle.
Kramer: Quit gawking at it and help me dammit!
Adam was startled.
Adam:...Huh? Oh! Of course!! Amy would you mind getting some professionals? I'm good at sewing but I can't do it if I just keep ripping his skin apart...
Amy: Okay! I'll go now!
Adam was attempting to close it when he realizes...Kramer's been shot...there might be something held against him if they knew it was a gunshot wound. If they knew where the wound came from they would find out that the machine is done and they have control over everything.
Adam: Amy!! Make sure you tell them that it was a lab experiment gone wrong!!
Amy shouted down the hall.
Amy: Got it!
Adam looked back at Kramer for a small moment.
Adam: I think you'll be okay for now, but I'm never too sure...never did pass the first aid part of highschool.
Kramer: It's fine, just sit me up so I can tell you what he told me when i went through the door...
Adam propped him up on a cabinet door and got something for him to drink. Kramer started to speak.
Kramer: ok...So he said that he had a device that allows him stop all other universes in their tracks, and somewhat collapse them. This makes it so there is only one universe to control.
Adam: What about the other versions of himself? Would they not have the same plan?
Kramer: I thought the same thing until I saw a file with the device picture on it.
Kramer reveals a file from his lab coat. On the front of the file it has a picture on it that resembles a hand grenade.
Adam: You sneaky devil. He didn't see you take it?
Kramer: Adam, do you see me put an extra two cubes of sugar in your coffee so i can sip it every once in awhile.
Adam: Huh?
Kramer: Nothing, my point is that I took it and now I know what he's going to do to the universe.
Kramer slowly picks himself off the ground as the medic team walks in with medicine and stiching equipment, sitting him back down. The one male nurse comes close and inspects the wound.
Nurse: Hey, this doesn't look like anything I've ever come across...
Adam: Well you know us. Always blowin' stuff up.
Adam sports a nervous smile and walks over to where the door is, making sure the thing is turned off before anything bad happens.
Kramer: Careful...I need to get up, I-
Nurse: No! You need to rest yourself for now. this wound is pretty severe.
Kramer: Hey! I may not be a PHD in medicine, but i can see that I can lift myself off the ground!
Nurse: Okay, okay...sorry sir.
Kramer: No time to be sorry...I have better things to do today...
