Beneath the Mask

"I'm...not dead? How?" Seán questioned Schneep as he sat up, a small smile lighting up Schneep's face.

"That serum..." Seán trailed off as he pressed his hands over his ears, wincing in pain as Schneep shot up to his feet.

"Jack, are you okay? Are you feeling alright?" Schneep asked Seán worriedly, the Irishman looking at Schneep before his eyes widened in fear.

"W-what's happening to me?" Seán stammered as he scrambled off of the bed, Chase making sure he wouldn't fall by standing by Seán's side.

"Tell me vhat is going on so I can help you." Schneep directed calmly, Seán shaking his head as he retreated away from Chase and Schneep.

"I can hear someone watching tv from six miles away, I can see your skeletons, I-"

Seán broke off as he abruptly ran out of the room, Schneep and Chase hastily running after him.

"Vait!" Schneep cried, Seán doing a front flip over a nurse pushing a stretcher down the hall to clumsily land on the other side and run for the door.

"How can he do that?!" Chase exclaimed as Seán ran out of the hospital, Schneep stopping next to him while struggling to catch his breath.

"It's zhe serum, it's affecting him differently zhan zhe other patient ve used it on." Schneep mused while panting for breath.

"So what do we do?" Chase asked Schneep, the German walking out of the hospital before pausing to look back at his friend.

"Ve hope zhat Jack makes zhe right choice."
