Jayce is having hindsight in a completely different timeline and it's a strange thing to have happen all at once. But he has to focus on the here and now to handle this or it'll go so far off course they won't be able to right it. He and Viktor are the two who know these runes extremely well, well enough to handle this quickly and carefully, and he can't count on Viktor anymore. Nor should he, considering the situation.

It would have been easier to do the runes if Viktor was calm and lying still, as they had planned, and it is going to make the next part difficult. He should have known better, having seen a version of this damned thing before. "Alucard, hold him as still as you can, if he moves ...."

It could ruin a rune and they don't have the best chance of fixing that. "Nadine can you hold onto his legs? In case he tries to kick." He knows it all sounds crazy that Viktor seemed like he wanted this and put them all through the plans and he's the one messing it up now out of no where. Jayce just needs him to be still long enough for this part.

He maintains his healing hand on Viktor which is mostly stabilizing and not pouring more in yet, and with his other he extremely carefully carves the runes into the tissue. Jayce is so focused on the requirement of the moment that he doesn't think about the reality, which is a good thing.

"Ready for the serum?" Jayce asks Alucard as he finishes this up as quickly as he can. It's Alucard's serum and work, his partnership with Viktor.
