Matt's scream echoed throughout the entire bunker. Julian and the fusions rush to his side, checking screens and doing tests. Darin seems to be leading this medical emergency, giving directions, calling for supplies. a few familiar faces of popular youtubers handed him gauze and towels. Matt kept wincing and yelling in pain, calling out for Ryan. Chris watched as his friend was restrained and tried to be kept still in order to receive an injection. Ryatt rushed to his side with a wet towel, cooling his forehead.
"Oh.. Ryan..! You're back.." Matt reached out to Ryatt. Worriedly, Ryatt looked at the other fusions, seeing as Matt had calmed down, they gave him a nod. With hesitancy, He turned his cap around front.
"Y-yeah Matt. I'm here. just chill out, we know you're in a lot of pain so we're trying to help you. Just keep still for a second..." Ryatt spoke in Ryan's voice. Chris watched as the gave Matt an injection of a light blue fluid. Matt relaxed after tensing up for a second, then began to squint at Ryatt. In a split second he realized who he was.
"YOU, YOU'RE NOT RYAN!! GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!!" Matt tried to push Ryatt away, but he had already managed to dodge Matt's attack and walk away. Ryatt looked hurt, but not resentful, like he understood the truth behind Matt's message. Matt tried to get up but ultimately failed. Julian dismissed Darin and Juliding, sitting by Matt's side and trying to bring him back to reality.
"Hey, Hey, Matt slow down. You're fine, It's me Jules. For real." Matt looked at him before relaxing again.
"God, Julian I-I just don't know what happened. I went for Chris and now I'm here and he's..." Matt Paused. Julian looked at Chris, signlaning with his head to go to him. He walks over to a solem Matt, who looks up at him and in a second, looks shocked.
"Chr-Chris! You're fine! But how?! I thought it got me AND you, I just don't-" Matt paused as Julian put a hand on his shoulder.
"Matt, do you remember that you managed to send a distress signal in time? I got you and Chris out of there, with you in critical condition. Sorry for Holding you down and what not, But you needed the Anti-Virus." Matt looked from Julian to Chris to his arm, now complete with a little cotton ball taped to his arm. Chris watched as Matt looked around the room, spotting Ryatt hunched over at a computer. Matt looks down in shame and bites his lip. He looks at the both of them.
"Damn..Really done goofed this time huh?" Matt says as he tries to make a little joke out of it. Julian laughs a bit before sighing. He looks at Ryatt, then back at Matt.
"It was the shock and delusions. He knows you didn't mean it, but an apology would probably be appreciated." Julian smiled at Matt before Matt called Ryatt over. Julian took Chris to a nearby table so that they could have their privacy. Chris admired the way Jules seemed to be running this revolution of sorts. He never pinned him as the "Leader" type, but here we are. The table they were at had a world map on it, with several little pins in all parts of the globe. Routes of some sort were marked in multicolored lines. Chris wondered just how long this had been going on. He snuck a glance at Matt and Ryatt, who were both smiling and laughing.
"Matt and Ryatt are pretty close. Ryatt has told me he sees Matt as a father. Don't tell him I said that or I'll kill you." Julian jokingly took a knife from the table and pointed it at Chris.
"Does... everyone get along?" Chris asked. Julian looked around. The bunker was dim, but Chris had a feeling he didn't really need to see to understand.
"Not really chris. Most don't get along with the fusions, so I'm kind of the peacemaker. Ryan, for the short time he was here, didn't like Ry. Dan doesn't like Dare. a few others just don't treat them with respect. I guess cuz they see them as less? God Chris it's super dumb and like the fusions did like nothing." Julian sighs before shaking it off and pointing to an orange dot on the map, right in Oregon, U.S.A , with a small label that read "Johnsville".
