[Never once in his life had he been so glad to hear a viable response to something he'd said, the hope being Jack was cognizant, and Eugene was latching onto that hard. The abrupt heaviness of Jack's body however-- was he... trying to lie down? He genuinely looked to be in pain, which brought him back to the fact he'd probably just been shocked-- or as close to electrocuted as one could get.]
Hey! No--nope! Jack. [Old habits died hard and he wasn't even sure if keeping Jack awake now was essential but he wasn't going to risk finding out if it wasn't. Using his sternest tone, he shook him a little, working to snap him out of it.]
Eyes on me. Stay awake. I know it hurts, but it'll be okay so long as you don't fall asleep.
[What Jack really needed was to get to their car, driven back to the medics, because belatedly he'd noticed the burn on Jack's arm and he thought he felt his heart drop into his stomach. Shifting to press his weight on his good side, Eugene wrapped an arm around Jack and worked to haul him up. The position precarious, he was fairly certain some of this strength wasn't really his, he was taking it out on loan with interest on adrenaline.
He'd pay it back later, right now he needed to get Jack into the car at least]
