A/N: This is a fan ending of Stolen Ice by Aelsa which is basically required reading. The events in this ending start as soon as Chapter 51 ends. I got inspiration to write this after the actual ending tried to wind things down way quicker than the story itself wanted to. Way too much was either ignored or resolved with a wave of a hand and it just does not fit with the rest of the story. The actual ending is still decent and I recommend you read it but to me it just doesn't feel right with the rest of the story.


Chapter 52: Memories of a Golden Age


Despair, Depression, Hopelessness.

Anna knew all of these words and had used them many times, but she had never understood their true meaning until Jane had abandoned her on that rooftop. As she was bought back to her hospital bed by the nurses she remained silent. Anna knew that at some point she would have to explain what happened but as the IV drip was put back in and a fresh lot of morphine entered her system all she could do was sleep.


Jane had reached the ground and immediately set off away from the hospital and towards her hideout. She felt guilty for abandoning Anna like that but she knew that she had to get away from it all and take some time to sort out who she really was. For as long as she could remember she had been Jane – a woman determined to find out her true identity. But was Elsa really who she was? That question would have to go unanswered for now.

As Jane opened the door to her hideout Olaf was waiting to greet her.

"What happened up on that roof?" he asked.

"I wish I knew."

"More reports have come in about what happened at WGT. Still no sign of Hans but I am following up on a couple of hints as to where he might be."

"Thanks, Olaf." Jane fell into her bed and started sobbing.


The physical therapist gave Anna a prescription for strong painkillers and gave her the all clear to leave hospital. She first checked herself into a hotel nearby and put up the "Do Not Disturb" sign outside the door. She needed time to think about everything that has happened over the past few months. Had she been at fault? What caused everything to fall apart so quickly?


"Why did I have to play along with him?" Anna asked herself knowing that she may never get a real answer.

"Why did she not tell me who I was?" Jane asked

"I don't know." Olaf replied

"Was she even telling the truth then?"

"As far as I know, she was."

"What do you mean?"

"I've found records from the orphanage where you grew up."

"What?" Jane was stunned.

"The records were incomplete but what is there matches with Anna's story."

"Wait…" Jane put her fingers on her temples "You mean to tell me that they had records about me this whole time?"

"Yes."

"But how did the doctors not know?" Jane suddenly thought of the answer. "WGT?"

"WGT." Olaf confirmed

"So they've been involved this whole time?"

"Ever since you slipped on that ice as a kid."

"How do you know about that?"

"One of their agents was watching you from when you started the escape plan. They had always been keeping an eye out for potential agents and as soon as any possibility comes up they follow it up."

"When did this incident happen?"

"It was when you were six years old. Anna was only three"

"And they kept all of this hidden?"

"Yes."

"But why?"

"Because once they saw your reaction to such a large electric shock they realized that you were very useful to them."

"Electric shock?"

"Yes. You ran into an exposed wire from an electrical transformer. A normal person would have been dead on the spot."

"But I am quite obviously not a normal person."

"No you aren't."

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes, the monitors they hooked you up to all behaved strangely, but only when attached to you."

"Just like how I can influence electronics now…" Elsa's eyes widened as things started to fall into place "So that means…" she gasped

"The shock activated something that was already there."

"It charged me."

"Correct." Jane slumped back down onto her bed and put her head into her hands.

"But why was I running?"

"You were chasing the train that you had just put Anna into." Elsa gasped as the memory finally came back to her and then started sobbing again.

"I'm sorry, Anna."


Anna was also coming to terms with what had happened. She knew that she was to blame for what happened between them. She had wilfully conducted the deception without thinking about how it impacted the target. She had never thought about that aspect of her profession. Always forgetting about her last target and moving on to the next. Conducting the next manipulation without thinking about what it does to the targets, to the people that were affected by it. She made a resolution to never do that again. She would have to start a legitimate business. Jane could help…

"Jane…" Anna started a fresh round of sobbing "I'm sorry."
