AN: Hey guys! This idea just popped into my head a while ago. So, I put part of it down in a Doc... and here it is. Hope you enjoy, it!

Chapter 1. Walter POV:
Walter picks up one of the rats from the container and attaches the electrodes to it. He's done this countless times, making slight changes every time. Doing things exactly over again are pointless. You will always get the same result. So, he didn't. But it was very time consuming. Megan's research has been taking up all of Walter's extra time, and he knew she didn't have too much longer. Trying to stray from the fact that Megan would possibly die, Walter thinks of all the fond times that he and Megan had together. Pulling the fire alarm. Science projects. The beach. He also thinks of all the bad times that they have endured. Megan being sick. Her diagnostic. The hospital. It seems all the bad times have had to do with Megan's condition. MS has taken his and Megan's time together and cropped it off. Walter feels blood rush through his body. MS was eventually going to take Megan's life. Unless, he solved it. And fast.

Paige POV:
"Goodbye, Ralph! Have a great day at school!" Paige yells out to him as he walks into the crowded building. Ralph had been doing better at school ever since Scorpion has been helping him through it, and she was thankful. She didn't think she could endure anymore days when Ralph would come home and not speak for days. Paige puts her foot back down on the pedal and drives down to the garage. They hadn't had many missions for a while, but instead of socializing, the team immersed themselves into their own projects. Walter especially. Paige worried that he would spend too much time trying to find a cure when he could be spending more time with Megan. She reaches the garage and finds only Walter's car in the parking lot. Since Paige had gotten coffee and donuts for everyone, right before she had dropped Ralph off at school, the food and drink would have to wait until the rest of the team got there. She got out of the car, trying to carry the load of stuff that she had in her arms. Balancing the drink container, donuts and her bag she made it through the door and placed everything onto the counter. Everything in the garage was dead silent except for the scraping of chalk on a chalkboard upstairs. Walter. Paige sighs aloud. Couldn't he do anything other than work?
"Good morning! I brought coffee and donuts!" Paige yells upstairs and gets no response except for the same sound of chalk on the board. "Walter?" Paige says and walks up the steps. She finds Walter writing on the green chalk board, that was mostly white now. The area around his was scattered with books and torn out sheets of paper.
"Walter." She says and receives no response. This was not normal. Even people with extremely low EQ's don't completely ignore people. She walks up to him and stands right in front of him to look at his face. He had a blank expression on his face and his eyes weren't looking outward, they were looking inward. Not vanity wise, more like he was so deep into his mind-
"The Rabbit-Hole." Paige whispers and lets Walter push her aside so he can keep writing. That's it. The Rabbit-Hole is what Walter was in. The team had told her about this when Mark Collins had been around but Paige had never seen it before. Sure, she had seen the team deep into their work. But not like this. Walter suddenly stops writing and Paige looks up. He had run out his piece of chalk. Walter just picked up another piece of it and kept writing. Paige couldn't understand what he was writing on the board, it was mostly numbers, letters, equations, diagrams and more. She runs downstairs and tries to decide who to call. Happy, absolutely not. Cabe, no. Sylvester, probably not the best choice. Toby, right on the money. She dials Toby's number and it rings for a few chimes. She prays with all her heart that Toby will pick up.

Toby's phone blares out his annoying ringtone from the seat next to him in his car. He sloppily picks it up and checks the caller ID. It's Paige. Now, what would Paige be wanting with him this morning? He answers and holds the phone up to his ear with his left hand and holds the steering wheel with his right.
"Hey Paige." Toby says and hears a sigh on the other end.
"It's Walter. Something is wrong with him." Paige says and Toby remembers the last time someone had told that to him.
"Something is wrong with him." Happy says as she stares at Walter. Mark had left the garage hours ago and Walter had acting strange. He had been ignoring them. Food. Water. Everything. Except for the chalkboard, books and his work. He was in a trance. And he wouldn't come out of that trance for another 3 and ½ brutal weeks.
"What is wrong?" He manages to stutter out, pushing down the memory.
"I think Walter is down the Rabbit-Hole." Paige says and Toby barely makes it to the garage without hitting people. If it was true, that he was down the Rabbit-Hole, then things were about to go very badly. Badly, indeed.
