One of the reasons that Ty had excelled during his Division training was because of his ability to stay calm under pressure. After working as an EMT for so many years in New York City, arguably one of the craziest cities in the States, he had thought there wouldn't be anything that would surprise him anymore. But somehow the Observers had managed to hit to the core of his fears in one swift stroke: Kira bedridden and dying from a disease that had enough symptoms similar to green poison. It shook him up more than he cared to admit, made him feel frantic and grief stricken in wild turns. Not a great combination when it came to going on an expedition to get snakes whose venom could cause hallucinations and even death, but even if it was extremely selfish of him, Ty couldn't stay behind.
Working at the hospital wasn't the haven it usually was, because every time he glanced over to see Kira's prone form, it hit him like a sledgehammer to his stomach. It was hard to breathe or focus, and his hands couldn't stop shaking. Losing Kira would be on par with losing Delilah or his mother. He didn't think he could handle it, especially not if he sat on his hands and did nothing.
He'd padded his arms and legs as much as he possibly could, but even he knew he had been a bit reckless and careless. So he couldn't say he was too surprised when he felt fangs bite into the flesh of his calf before he managed to wrangle the offending snake into one of the containers he was using.
"Okay so, I just got bit." Ty said, trying to keep his voice calm. "How quick are those hallucinations supposed to kick in?"
[ RECOVERY ]
During his hallucinations, Ty was going to keep seeing his mother just beyond his reach, and every time he sees her he'll try to get out of bed and follow her or take care of her.
He'll also see his childhood best friend Delilah, who either will calm him down or get him surly and upset, depending on what the hallucination was saying to him.
And if it's not the two of them he's seeing, he'll just be seeing friends and family in various states of disease accusing him of abandoning them. To which he'll just be mumbling 'I'm sorry' over and over.
Once the fever breaks, he'll try to help out with those who are still sick and he'll steer clear of the snakes, thanks.
