Doey and Katelynn stood inside a room near the pod-like elevators. Katelynn paced around before looking at the elevator, concerned. "Please come back to us... Big Brother... Big Sister..." she said, lowly.
Doey looked at Katelynn before approaching her and placing his hand on her shoulder, which made her look at him. "They'll be fine, Katie... both of them are really smart," he said. "They know how to handle themselves..."
Katelynn remained silent before looking down; the duo heard something open, which made them look forward. Soon after, the duo saw Michelle and Kevin exit the elevator; Katelynn smiled before sprinting toward them. "You're back!" she shouted.
Katelynn hugged the duo while her tail wagged. "I'm so glad both of you are alright," she said. Kevin chuckled a bit and petted Katelynn's head. "Of course we're alright," he said.
After Katelynn let go of the duo, Kevin lifted Michelle and placed her on his shoulder. "When you've got two badasses like us working together, we get things done," he continued as he flexed his other arm. Michelle giggled. "Very true..." she said before kissing Kevin's head.
After Kevin placed Michelle on the ground, she looked at Katelynn and Doey. "Now then, let's go find the Doctor," she continued. The duo nodded as the group left the room.
As the group turned left, Doey looked at the others. "While you two were taking care of Cat-Bee, Katie and I managed to find other parts for the generator," he said.
Michelle hummed. "That's good... I just hope the others are managing without you at Safe Haven," she said. Doey smiled. "Of course, Safe Haven is in good hands; I left DogDay in charge in case things get out of hand," he said.
Soon after, the group entered a room with blue pipes filled with liquid nitrogen. Katelynn looked around the room with crossed arms. "I don't like this room..." she said, lowly. Doey approached the door. "Don't worry, we'll be in and out of this room quick," he said.
As Michelle followed the pipes, she spotted a large hole near the door. Soon after, the liquid nitrogen got close to the hole, which made Michelle's eyes widen before looking at Doey. "Get away from the door; it's a liquid nitrogen trap!" she shouted.
Doey looked at the hole, shocked, before Matthew split from Jack and grabbed him. Matthew looked at Kevin. "Kevin, catch!" he shouted before tossing Jack.
After Kevin caught Jack, the liquid nitrogen shot toward Matthew, which made him yell before he froze, while the group's eyes widened. "Matthew?!" they shouted.
Dough tears pricked Jack's eyes as he tried moving forward. "No, Matthew!" he shouted. Kevin held Jack in place. "Don't be an idiot; if you touch him, you'll freeze too," he said.
Michelle looked up and saw a yellow handle before aiming and pulling the left trigger. The blue hand grabbed the handle before turning it, which stopped the liquid nitrogen.
Soon after, Matthew thawed out before kneeling on the ground, shivering. "Damn it, it hurts..." he said, lowly. Jack got out of Kevin's hold before sprinting toward Matthew, which made the others follow him. "Matthew!" he shouted.
Before Jack held his hand out to Matthew, he looked at him. "Don't touch me..." he said, which made him stop. "I don't want you to get cold either..." Kevin growled. "That fucker..." he said. "He makes it impossible for us to get around here... traps like this are everywhere!"
Dough tears fell from Jack's eyes. "It's the cold that hurts us..." he said, lowly, before wrapping his arms around himself. "The big, mean Doctor knows that..." Matthew looked at the duo. "H-Hey, it's OK..." he said, lowly. "It'll all be OK..."
Michelle approached Matthew and pulled her jacket sleeves, which covered her hands, before rubbing them on his arm. Matthew looked at Michelle as she rubbed his shoulder. "This might not be much, but I hope it helps," she said.
Matthew stared at Michelle before chuckling a bit and looking at Kevin. "You found a great woman to be with," he said. Kevin blushed before looking away and crossing his arms. "Even though you're right, you don't have to say it out loud..." he said, lowly.
After Michelle removed her jacket sleeves and pulled her hands out, she looked at the group. "As much as I hate to say it, I think it's best if he heads back to Safe Haven with Kevin and Jack," she said.
The group was shocked. "Are you serious?" Jack asked. Michelle nodded before looking at Matthew as he shivered. "Medic probably has better equipment or methods to help Matthew warm up," she said.
Kevin looked at Michelle. "While that may be true, you can't be out there by yourself," he said. "At least let me come with you." Michelle looked at Kevin. "But what happens if you reach your limit and turn into a puddle? I have no way of picking you up," she said.
Kevin growled a bit before looking away. "Damn it... as much as I hate to admit it, you're right..." he said before looking at Michelle. "But I don't want what happened back then to happen right now."
Katelynn stared at the group before looking down. Soon after, Katelynn clenched her fists before looking at the group, determined. "She won't be there alone," she said, which made them look at her. "I'm coming with her."
The group was shocked as Kevin looked at Katelynn. "Hang on, this place is—" she looked at him, "I'm well aware it's dangerous, Big Brother." Katelynn looked at Michelle. "I'm not like Suzy anymore; I know that I must keep Big Sister safe," she said. "Plus..."
Katelynn's body bubbled a bit as her fingertips turned into sharp claws. "I want payback for what that bastard did to Big Sister and me," she continued.
The group flinched, which made Katelynn deadpan them. "Oh, come on; Big Brother and Big Sister always curse even back at Playcare," she said. Kevin snorted and chuckled, which made Michelle look at him. "Kevin?" she asked.
Kevin approached Katelynn as she looked at him. "If you still plan on making me leave, I'll—" he placed his hand on her head, which surprised her. Kevin smiled and petted Katelynn's head. "Alright... you can go with Misha," he said.
Katelynn looked at Kevin. "Big Brother..." she said, lowly. Kevin laid his forehead on Katelynn's and closed his eyes. "Just be careful," he said. Katelynn stared at Kevin before closing her eyes and nodding. "Right," she said.
After Kevin pulled away, he approached Michelle and kneeled. "You be careful out there, too," he said. Michelle smiled and nodded before the couple kissed.
Jack stared at the couple as they separated before looking down; he glanced at Katelynn before approaching her. "Uh... Katie..." he said, lowly. Katelynn looked at Jack. "You'll come back to us safely, right?" he asked.
Katelynn stared at Jack before smiling a bit and kneeling before him. "Of course we will; we've got people waiting for us... especially loved ones," she said before kissing his cheek, which made him blush.
Soon after, Jack was in a daze. "Oh wow..." he said, lowly, which made Katelynn giggle. Kevin stared at the duo before sighing. "I didn't think it would come this early..." he said, lowly.
Michelle giggled a bit and petted Kevin's head. "There, there," she said; Matthew looked at the group with a slight chuckle. Katelynn stood properly and looked at Michelle. "Big Sister," she said, which made her look at her. "Time to go."
Michelle nodded before looking at Kevin. "Get those two back safely, OK..." she said. Kevin nodded as Michelle and Katelynn approached the door before leaving the room.
Kevin stared at the door. "Be careful..." he said, lowly. Kevin turned his head to the dazed Jack. "C'mon, Jack; time to head back to Safe Haven," he continued.
Jack flinched a bit before shaking his head. "Right," he said before approaching Kevin. When Jack was close to Kevin, they fused into Doey before looking at Matthew. "C'mon, Matthew; let's get you back home," he said.
As Doey helped Matthew get on his feet, he looked at him. "Hang on, you shouldn't—" he looked at him, "It's fine; you're not as cold as before."
Matthew looked down as the duo approached the door. Get that Omni-Hand for us, Misha, he thought before they left the room.
