Let's Hear It For America's Suitehearts

3RD POV

Remington and Gerard were bringing in the new arm just as Pete was waking up from a nap.

"Peter, we're here to get the new arm on, alright?" Remington smiled and picked up the prosthetic, bringing it over to him.

Gerard gently picked up Pete's actual arm and the two nurses worked together to put them together. It took a few minutes but it had finally been attached.

"Mr. Wentz, try it out, yeah? Theres technology in here that allows it to connect to you like a real arm would so you can do almost anything you did before!" Gerard explained, smiling widely.

Pete moved and grabbed the water bottle that was by his bed. He picked it up and took a drink. "Sadly it's not my real arm, but it's better than nothing I guess."

The two nurses nodded. "One of us will be in in a few hours to check your vitals again."

Pete sighed, flipping over and going back to sleep. The constant worry gnawing at the back of his head was enough to keep someone up at night, which was no exception to Pete.

-IN AMERICA-

Benzedrine was down in his lab, yet again, still working on something to get Pete and Brendon through the portal. The green portal stayed in the center of town for any who managed to fall through and end up here, so it would be easier for Benzedrine to get in and out.

Ryan was currently checking out all the items and medicines that had been concocted in the large underground lab. Some things Ryan was allowed to touch, but there were also a few things that Benzedrine wouldn't allow him to, those were mainly the deadly ones.

"Benzedrine, what's this?" Ryan asked over the soft humming from Benz.

He looked up from his notebook. "Huh?" Benz took a closer look. "Oh, be careful with that. I made that about 3 years ago. The first person I tested that on was Pete, since he's always walking at night. It cures muscle and joint pain."

"Wait, really? How quickly does it work?" Ryan stared in awe at the green liquid.

"Doesn't take long. Maybe about 10 seconds and it should completely take away the pain until you get hurt or become sore again." Benzedrine stood with the leather bound book and set it down on the metal table all his ingredients and mixing potions are on.

He took two drops of a navy liquid and four of a purple liquid with a dropper, putting it all together in a small beaker. Benz also took two types of herbs and a sparkly dust that only appears in America, and mixed the ingredients.

"What's that for? What is it?" Ryan followed like a lost puppy, constantly wanting to know all of what was going on.

"It's the earliest stages of what will bring Sandman and Brendon back home, Ryan." Benzedrine grinned, setting the beaker on a hot plate in the corner for about a minute.

"This'll bring them home, Ryan, I swear." Benzedrine whispered, but he knew Ryan couldn't hear him. It was more reassurance for himself.
