"Hello, Matthew. My name is Wesley," he said as he sat the items he had brought with him down on the portable tray next to the bed. "How are you doing?"
"Okay, I guess," he said. "That man who came to my school said I had to come because something's wrong with me?"
"Inside your heart." Wesley picked up the pouch he had made up in his office. "But it's something my wife and I intend to fix. Just relax, and we'll do everything we can to help you okay?"
Matthew nodded, and Wesley began chanting in a soft voice as he waved the pouch in an arc around the boy. A soft orange light glowed in the air, creating what looked to be a protective bubble around him, telling Wesley it was working. After a moment, the light dissipated, but Wesley knew the block was still there - it would stay there until he brought it down. Now, whatever happened, Fries couldn't trigger his son to become Patient Zero in the worst viral outbreak in history.
"Now, we just need to wait for my wife," Wesley told him as he started getting the items ready for the next part of this. "You know, we have a daughter about your age. Her name is Regan. She quite likes that comic book you're reading. X-Men."
They talked about that for a few minutes before Fred came in with the antidote. Wesley smiled at her, glad that this whole thing was about to be over for Matthew. He certainly didn't deserve any of this. And he hoped that there was a way to keep him from going back to that monster of a father who had done this to him.
As Fred injected Matthew, Wesley held another pouch over his heart, concentrating on the vessel holding the virus inside. The antidote was racing through the boy's bloodstream, and when it reached his heart and the vessel, Wesley opened a crack with a few words to let the antidote inside before sealing it up again. He looked over at Fred as he stood back before going over to the door and calling to the doctor, who came in with a scanner to check Matthew over.
"The antidote is killing the virus," he announced. "It should be completely gone within fifteen minutes."
