I opened my eyes when they brought Max in. There was a big cut in the side of his face. Dr.Z didn't look happy. I tried to tap into her thoughts to see why, but that block was back. I guess the new powers wore off. I tired to get up and go to Max, but my body was like a giant weight. I couldn't even lift my head. Everything went black for a bit. When I came to again Max was sitting by my bed. "Are you ok Dante?" I smiled. "Just...really...tired." It was worse to talk so I linked up with him. "I can't take it anymore man. That psycho b*tch wants to cut my head open!" He nodded. "This may sound crazy...but I think I have a plan." He showed me what his other side wanted. It kinda scared me. That other him was....unpredictable. I could still feel him...waiting at the back of Max's mind behind that door. Like a lion waiting for his chance to pounce. I looked into Max's eyes. "Do you think we can trust him?" He sighed. "What choice do we have?" He was right of course. "Do you think you could do that thing again? When you pulled me back? That needs to be our backup plan." I thought for a moment. I was pretty weak...but maybe I could. "Maybe. I'm not sure though." He nodded. "Well then it's a risk I guess we'll have to take." I was getting tired again. Max got up and headed to his bed. I reached out. I had to find Pops. Hopefully he was awake at the moment. I needed to tell him about this plan..but I was scared. Would he even want to leave now? He looked like he'd given up. If he gave up what was I supposed to do? I brushed his mind and sighed in relief. He was awake and not all doped up.

Lucas was acting weird, and that guy still p*ssed me off. He just smiled and guided Lucas around. I wanted to punch him. For some reason it seemed like Lucas was avoiding me a little. Was it because I couldn't protect him? I guess I deserve it then. I headed off to my room again. The others were crowding around him and asking him questions. I closed the door and fell onto the bed. I'd been worried sick about him, but I deserved any punishment he gave me. "I'm sorry Lucas..."
