The situation was dire, as the brothers were rushed to the hospital. The doctors worked around the clock, trying to stabilize the brother's condition. Days passed, and there was still no news to share with the family. The only updates the doctors could offer were that Jack was showing some positive signs of recovery, while Jamie's condition continued to deteriorate with each passing day.
Doctor Takayuki had to break the devastating news to Harry that there was nothing more they could do for Jamie. However, Harry refused to accept this fate for his son. He remembered a possible solution that could save Jamie's life: cybernetic implants. With the right doctors, funding, and engineering, Harry believed that he could give his sons a chance to not only recover fully but also gain extraordinary powers.
Despite Harry's optimism, Diana was strongly against the idea of giving their sons cybernetic implants. She was concerned about the potential risks and consequences of such a procedure. Harry was shocked and disappointed by her reaction, as he believed that this was the only option left to save their son's life.
Harry rushes out of the hospital and begins working on a new project that will not only give him his sons back but also a chance to get revenge on Stallone.
1 Month Later
Harry rushes back to the hospital, where he finds Diana and Jack now able to speak.
“Hey Jack, how are you feeling?”
Jack coughs before responding to his father telling him that he’s still in a great deal of pain and that the doctors have told him that he’ll be getting out in a few days.
Harry was happy to hear the news. “What about Jamie? What's the latest on him?”
“Don’t know. He's been like that for a while. Doctors have said he’s still alive, but they're not sure for how long.”
Harry looks over and sees Jamie with a bandage wrapped around the right side of his face and dried-up blood stains on the sheets. Harry had seen enough; he told Jack that he planned on giving them the two powers that would heal them back to the way they were before. Diana looked away from Harry, disgusted that he was still going through with his plan.
Jack, on the other hand, was doubtful about his father’s idea but was willing to give it a shot if it meant he could get his brother back.

Two operating tables were set up in a sterile operating room, surrounded by state-of-the-art medical equipment and a team of world-class doctors. Jack and Jamie lay on the tables, their bodies exposed and vulnerable. Harry watched the proceedings with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety.
"Begin," Harry instructed, and the doctors sprang into action. They worked with precision and skill, using advanced technology to install cybernetic limbs and a regeneration system that would allow the two patients to heal from any damage they may sustain in the future.
As the hours passed, the doctors monitored Jack's vital signs carefully, adjusting their procedures and medications as necessary to keep his body stable. Finally, they gave Harry the good news that the operation had been a success.
However, the same could not be said for Jamie. Despite their best efforts, the damage he had sustained from Stallone was too severe, and his body was struggling to cope with the trauma. The doctors worked tirelessly to stabilize him, but his heart rate continued to plummet.
"He's flatlining!" one of the doctors shouted in desperation.
Harry felt a surge of panic and grief wash over him as he watched his son slip away. He knew that he was responsible for Jamie's fate, and the weight of that burden was almost unbearable.
But as he looked over at Jack, who was now resting peacefully with his new cybernetic arm, he felt a sense of gratitude as well. At least one of his sons would live to see another day.
“You did, Mr. Crawford.”
Harry was silent before saying, “We did it. Project Rainfall can now commence.”
A Few Days Later
Jack’s eyes slowly open as he lifts himself from the bed. He notices that the room he’s in is a room that he’s never been in. As Jack looks around, he notices the necklace given to him by his mother on a table; alongside the necklace is the cassette tape player that Jamie gave him, and on the left side of the room is a shower with a retractable toilet built-in.
The door opened, and in walked a beautiful brown-haired nurse.
“You’re finally awake, Jack,” she said.
Jack turned around and noticed the nurse holding a tablet that contained information about him.
“Who are you? Where am I?” Jack demanded.
“You have questions, but I'm afraid I can’t answer them at this moment. Tell me, how are you feeling?”
Jack replied, "No, you don't get to ask me questions; until I get what I want, now tell me. Who are you? And where am I?”
The nurse sighed. “Alright, my name is Doctor Lily Hale. I have been instructed to look after you since your accident three months ago.”
Jack was stunned to find out he’d been out for three months and proceeded to ask what happened to him, but a glance at his arm answered his question.
“My... my arm, what the hell happened to me?”
Lily told Jack to keep calm.
Jack responded, “Stay calm! My fucking left arm is missing! Argh!”
Jack begins having a headache as he has a brief flashback; he recalls the events that transpired between himself, Stallone, and Jamie. Jack immediately asks Lily about his brother, “Jamie? Where is he? Is he okay?”
Lily looks away from Jack. “I'm sorry.”
Jack realizes his brother’s fate and begins to cry, “Ohhh no..no..no..no no,”
“We tried our absolute best, but the damages that Jamie sustained were too much,” Lily said trying to reassure Jack,
Jack’s emotion changes from sad to angry, “Stallone! Where is he!”
Just then Lily gets a beep from her codec: “Hello? Ah, Mr. Crawford... Yes... Yes, he’s awake. Right away, Mr. Crawford,” Lily turns her attention to Jack, “Your father wants to see you. Please follow me.”
