He wondered if the stupid experiment would cause any trouble. Well now he just jinxed his chances of getting out of there safely. Might as well just leave now. Turning, he headed silently for the exit of the lab.
"Leaving so soon, Sheriff." The bored, deep, sexy drawl made him turn around and he silently berated himself for the sexy part. His brain was turning into to mush just by staying and not going home.
"I want to go home, Stark," Jack said with a glare.
"But I thought you wanted to finish making sure that I don't blow up the lab." Jack eyed the vat of red liquid and then Nathan.
"Don't tell me you're scared, Sheriff."
That made Jack's glare darken. He was sleepy and he ached because of Nathan sending him around town for his stupid experiment that went nuts. That sexy bastard. This time Jack smacked himself in the head. Another sexy. He was really tired.
Nathan looked at him in amusement. "Something wrong, Sheriff?"
"Shut up," Jack grumbled.
Nathan turned around to see the vat was increasing suddenly in temperature. Jack watched as the Scientist started to type.
"Allison, are you increasing the heat."
"No, I'm not."
"I knew it was going to get worst," Jack mumbled as he watched the two work. He just stood back and watched the disaster unfold. It was the only thing he could do before he could fully assess the situation.
The liquid started to bubble out of the vat and Jack looked at Nathan.
"Is that suppose to happen?"
Nathan turned and glared at him. "Yes, Sheriff. That's suppose to happen."
Jack rolled his eyes at the sarcastic tone.
"Bastard," he mumbled.
More of the red liquid came out but this time it popped out a good distance. Jack took a step back, reflexively.
The vat wasn't that big but it wasn't small and Jack was ready to tell them they needed to leave.
"Let's go. If you can't fix it right now then we need to leave."
"I can fix this," Nathan said as he continued typing.
"You and Allison can go." Jack looked back at the vat as more liquid popped out violently.
"I may not be a genius but something tells me that you shouldn't try to fix this." He grabbed Nathan's arm and pulled him from the chair.
"I can fix this, Carter," Nathan said as he pulled away and went back to the computer.
"You don't have enough time." Jack grabbed Nathan again and pushed him out of the way.
"Jack, get out of the way!" He turned as the hot liquid splashed on his face. It quickly started to burn his eyes and skin and he screamed in pain as he fell to floor, fainting.

The sound of voices flooded his ears as well as overwhelming panic. He tried to open his eyes but they wouldn't open.
"Hello," he said as his hands went directly to his eyes. The action was immediately stopped by two strong hands on his wrist.
"Leave that alone, Carter." Jack looked in the voice's direction.
"What's wrong with my eyes? Why can't I see?" Nathan looked at Allison.
"Your eyes are fine, Jack. You are going to be temporarily blind. We are not sure exactly how long," Allison said.
Jack pulled his hands away from the strong grip. "What do you mean blind?"
"Temporarily, Sheriff. Some of the liquid got into your eyes but lucky most of it landed around them and the rest of your face."
Jack didn't know what to say. This was not what he expected. He needed to see to be able to do his job and they had no idea for how long.
"How long?" Nathan sighed.
"We estimated close to about two months but we're not sure."
That is a long time, Jack thought as he reached up again to touch his face. His hands were grabbed again.
"Do I have to tie them down, Carter?" The Sheriff pulled his hands away roughly and placed them on his lap.
"What else? And don't tell me there's nothing else."
"Around your eyes you suffered second degree burns. On the rest of your face there are some first degree burns," Allison said and she watched as Jack tried to lift his hand again but put it back on his lap.
Nathan watched him and then looked back at Allison.
"Jack, since Zoe isn't here Nathan will be taking care of you."
Jack's head turned quickly to look in her direction. "You can't be serious."
"You think I'm happy about this either," Nathan said and Jack flinched slightly at the angry tone.
"Nathan," Allison said, warningly.
"Do I get to go home today?"
"Yes," she said and she touched Jack's shoulder.
"I'm sorry Jack but you need to be supervised and Nathan isn't doing anything important."
Jack nodded but then he frowned.
"I'll be over to check on you two regularly."
He sighed and shoulders sagged. "Fine, I just want to go home."
A doctor helped him get dressed. Jack couldn't help but feel like an invalid. He really wanted to push them away. It made him feel useless.
After the doctor left, Jack sat on the bed thinking about being stuck with Stark. Stark hated him so why should he have to put up with him? Jack just wished he didn't hate him.
He heard the door open and someone walk in.
"You ready Sheriff?"
Jack raised his head to look but knew it was a waste of time. "Yeah I'm ready Stark."
Nathan walked into the room.
He saw Jack's bowed head raise and then go back down in defeat.
Nathan couldn't help but feel sad for him. More guilty than sad though. If only he had listened and just left the lab then the Sheriff wouldn't be blind. It wasn't a nice feeling and he felt he owed Carter something. One of the reasons he's staying with him was because of the feeling of guilt.
Nathan helped Jack up and slipped his arm into the crook of Jack's arm.
"Come on Carter." Nathan guided Jack out of the room and to the elevator. He went slowly enough for Jack to get his footing.
As they walked through GD to the door, Nathan saw all the stares they received. Jack could feel the stares and he involuntarily tightened his grip on Nathan. Nathan couldn't help but squeeze back in reassurance.
He shot a couple of glares and some scattered while others turned and minded their own business. Nathan smirked.
He helped Jack into the car and got in on the driver's side.
"Couldn't I get these bandages taken off?"
"Not yet. I'll have to take them off when I put the burn ointment on but they have to go back on. Tomorrow I'll take them off."
Jack nodded his head and then looked around. He then shook and lowered his head.
Nathan started the car and looked at Jack. He watched him fiddle with his hands. He drove off from GD towards the bunker.

Nathan helped Jack down the stairs. "SARAH door," Jack said. The doors air tight seal hissed and the door opened.
"Hello Jack and Dr. Stark."
"Hi SARAH," Jack said.
"I'm recording your games for you Sheriff for viewing at a later date."
"Thank you SARAH."
Nathan and Jack sat on the couch.
"I need to put the ointment on. It's been a couple of hours." Jack flinched in pain when one of Nathan's fingers brushed a burn on his face.
"Why aren't those bandaged?" Nathan carefully unwrapped the bandage around his eyes.
"They're not as serious as the ones near your eyes. The ones on your face are almost healed but they probably will be a little sore."
Nathan looked at the healing skin around Jack's eyes. He then looked at the bright blue eyes that shined in the light but looked somewhat vacant.
"At least the skin is healing back nicely. You won't even know you were burned."
Jack gave a small smile.
"I didn't know you were so concerned about my looks, Scientist."
Nathan snorted. "Sure, Sheriff."
He took the ointment out of his pocket and opened it.
"This will help the burns heal faster," he said as he spread it over the burns.
Jack twitched in pain but stayed still. He felt Nathan's fingers leave his face and heard a package being open. Again his eyes were being wrapped in bandages.
"They'll come off tomorrow, right?"
"Yes I'll take them off tomorrow."
Jack smiled then frowned and then sighed.
"It's going to be okay Carter." Jack wanted to say something but thought better of it.
"Are you hungry?" Nathan asked.
"Yeah." Jack could feel the weight lift off the couch. He took a deep breath and leaned back on the couch and listened to the sounds of Nathan making dinner.
