"Virgil's Pov:

"I-i have c-c-cancer"

The bomb my own brother is dying and didn't notice "w-when do you start treatment"

The next words broke me

"I-i don't,i-its t-terminal"

4 words, 2 clauses,1 sentence and a eternity of sadness. my brother and the glue to the family is going to die " no…" i whispered as i fell to my body was crying and Thunder was crying. I couldn't take it, it was overwhelming. water fell from my chocolate brown eyes as my body started to seize with silent sobs my mind was like a motorway thoughts rushing so fast that you can't tell one from another. The rational part of me was slowly taking over;taking a deep breath i silently stood up

"How long?" I said while putting my hand on his soldier - which was way too boney - willing to wake up and this to be a dream…

but i didn't wake up, it was real….. Too real.

general pov:

How long? Asked in any other time it meant a period of time , asked on a securement how long till it was too late, asked now… it ment how long is it to the final goodbye? When would be the last hug ? the last goodnight?the astronaut thought then replied

"Fi- five months at best."

Time slowed down, John saw in that millisecond, every atom in his brother's heart shattered into a million pieces and came back together, he watched the fear of losing his older brother, the doctor in him taking control.

"john!. Are you ok? You look pale."

John was swaying, his head pounded and sight was fading in and out. He felt like gravity just increased, everything from his shoulders to his toes felt on fire. He wanted to cry , to scream, to just curl up and die. Black dots clouded his vision as he lost grip with reality

"John!" running to his side virgil pushed the emergency button on his wrist

A holographic image of brains popped up "V-virgi, w-whats the e-emergency?" He was out of breath so answers were short but effective. There were obvious lines on his forehead and a look of pure concern in his eyes.

They had only used that protocall 3 times

When kayo plane was going down and we thought she was gonna die

When gordon crashed and almost drowned

When thunderbird 5 blew up

"Its john, get my 'bird here but don't let the others know…..not yet"

"Virgil what's wrong? Why cant we know?" It was scott this time

Look get me my 'bird, he asked me not to say anything so i wont. But if you don't hurry HE WILL DIE!" virgil's tears started to slip down his face again as his voice raised. This isn't fair, but by now he knew life wasn't. What hurt more was the fact that he could do nothing about it.

Realising the rush Scott jumped into his bi rd and got 2 to follow flying through the sky at full speed. His heart pounded loud in his ear was it an assasination attempt … or success?! No not success as virge said he would die not is dead. Deciding for some reason that this was an assasonation attempt (from one thought, realy scott?) Wait is the attacker still there? Was Virgil the target, not john? Was it the hood? What happened to John for him not to hit the button ,but virgul? Could he be knocked out? COULD HE BE BLEEDING OUT?!

"VIRGIL COME IN?" a panicked pilot screamed into "what wrong scott?"

"Is your attacker still there?"

"What attacker" then our residential medic realised and burst out laughing

"The …. Assasination atemp...im dumb" he almost facepalmed but instead he just tried (and failed, that what happens when your on max, stupid) to increace his speed, fore a moment he forgot that his brother was almost dead on the floor untill…

"Scott he is not breathing"
