Jamie retched into the toilet for the fifth time in less than thirty minutes then rested his head on his arms which were crossed on the seat of the toilet. He felt like he was freezing to death and his heartbeat was loud in his ears. His stomach lurched again, and he leaned over the toilet throwing up before just resting his head back on his arms and forcing himself to breathe as evenly as he could. He had woken up about two hours ago freezing and nauseated more than likely from fighting in the rain the previous morning.

{Jamie} Khaji asked concernedly scanning all his host's vitals in the background. His temperature was high, but his blood pressure, blood sugar, and hydration levels were concernedly low. Jamie's head lolled to the side with a soft sigh {Jamie?} Khaji's soft voice spoke through his head {You need to lower your body temperature.} He was only met with an incoherent grunt and the feeling of being pushed to the front of the shared consciousness.

He wasn't really interested in being on the front of consciousness but he shifted anyway, his senses always seemed to turn up to a thousand when he was in front and with Jamie being sick he could feel the Nausea, dizziness, and the feeling of freezing despite their high temperature. Worse has Jamie had almost no energy and Khaji's external battery was almost dead (since it only lasted about an hour and he had been using it to keep Jamie from fainting since he had woken up.)
He tried to slowly stand up only to stumble and fall back down in a wave of extreme dizziness and causing him to throw up once again. Khaji had never experienced the sensation of throwing up before, he didn't like it. His sinuses being clogged mixed with his low energy seemed to lower his senses and he didn't even hear Nightwing knock on the door or come into the room. Khaji was now sitting on the floor where he had collapsed with his bare back to the ice-cold tub and his head resting in his hand that he had propped up on his leg.

"Are you two okay?" Nightwing asked crouching down in front of the younger boy, he had always seen Jamie and Khaji as sons. Khaji's reaction was slowly opening his eyes which were completely yellow (a consequence of him being in control) and looking at Nightwing blankly for several long seconds.

"We are si..." His voice faded out as his yellow-tinged eyesight started to go static and the lines of code that were at the bottom corner began to flicker and scramble into a mess of different languages. Jamie's consciousness had fallen asleep leaving only the energy Khaji had left in his battery, which was all but dead.
Nightwing snapped trying to get the boys attention back and to stop him from passing out, which he very much looked like he was going to do. Khaji's eyes trailed back over to Nightwing as best he could be looking through the haze of static that was covering his sight. How long had he been sitting here, how long had Nightwing been crouched in front of him looking concerned? "We..." he tried again his vision beginning to flicker and he could hear warning sounds going off that whatever energy was left in his emergency battery was going to die at any minute. Nightwing said something but he couldn't hear him, his vision was stated over and his systems alarm were making it hard to hear. He felt someone touching him, their hands were warm.

It was Khaji who woke up first and in the front of consciousness. His mind was hazy and his screens flickered on but were static making them hard to read.
"He's running a really high fever" The voice sounded distorted and far away. Whoever was talking wasn't speaking to him.
"Get some ice packs we need to cool him down" The second one was just as confusing and hazy, this is what Khaji imagined it was like when listening to people from underwater. His screen flickered a low energy warning popped up blocking out his hazy vision.
"Khaji" the voice sounded closer and softer but he couldn't hear what it said as his scanners spoke loudly to him.
