Chapter One: Eye of the beholder

"Should we worry?"

"Should we leave her here?"

"What's are plan?"

Questions that were being asked several times over the next few hours. Helen could count on Will to ask these type of questions when they always brought someone else back to the Sanctuary. With each question that was asked Helen would simply reply, "I'm not sure." or "I need to run a few tests in order to find out." She knew he hated it when she replied to him in that manner. But to be honest she really didn't know. Earlier that week she had stumbled upon an artifact from an ancient ruin some were off the Virgin Islands. An artifact she found quite intriguing and she wanted to study it further. Somehow or some way it led her to this young woman past out in her medical ward; tied up like a she was the green hulk herself.

She would have placed her were all the most dangerous abnormals would go but there was something about this girl that didn't raise any alarm at all. Of course Will was on it like crazy, thinking that she was crazy for not placing her in a shu. Helen always admired Will for being such a over cautious person. The monitor was on reading her heart beat and of course it was strong and steady. The woman was young, tanned skinned, long black hair, and looked almost angelic as she slept. Helen would occasionally look over at Will and there he was keeping his eyes right on the girl like a hawk. Helen found it slightly amusing and then said, "Will we need to find out what the Cabal are up to. If we are to know of there plans Henry needs all the help he can get."

Will nodded his head and took a deep breath before flashing a small grin on his face before he turned around and left. After Will left Helen looked back the girl and sighed waiting for her to wake up. It wasn't every day were she got to meet an abnormal she knows nothing about.

Will left the infirmary literally freaking on the idea that Helen captured that was completely dangerous but then of course she had to deal with John for years. She shook the thoughts of the idea out of his head and headed to the computer lab were Henry was sitting there tinkering away on some latest invention as we waited for information. When he reached the computer lab, one of many, Will saw Henry working away on the computer in his little cubie hole. Walking in and standing behind Henry looking at the computer screen he said, "So what do we have so far?"

Henry looked up a Will and then back the computer screen, "Um well Will its hard to explain. You see the Cabal are here." Then he pointed the location of were the Cabal were on the screen to show Will what he had meant. "You see," Henry continued on, "Their movements are very slow to move from point A to point B. They should be here but they are not."

"So you think they are up to something," Will replied looking at the locations Henry was showing him.

"Perhaps. I'm not really sure. But I really wouldn't be surprised either," Henry replied looking at Will with confidence.

"Do you think it might have something to do with the girl we just picked up?"

"I don't know Will but if she is theirs you know for sure they're going to come back for her," Henry replied with worry as he remembered when they took the Morgans four months ago.

Will looked at the screen and said, "Well I better go tell Magnus." Then he patted Henry on the back and left the area heading towards the infirmary.

It didn't take long for the drugs to ware off before Kura woke up from her sleep. When she woke up it was a place that was different but was the same. She didn't move her body but instead looked in every shadow of the room. The energy she was picking up was surely different. Her eye caught a woman with dark hair and bright blue eyes. She didn't say anything to her but instead just stared at her. The woman came up to her and said kindly, "I'm Dr. Helen Magnus and you're in the Sanctuary."

Kura didn't make any movements other than simply starring at her. She tried moving but it was no use so instead she decided to use her words. "Why am I here," she asked her defensively. She didn't know where she was who this woman was. All she knew was she could be a Cabal agent trying to experiment on her and she was simply not having it.

"As I said before the Sanctuary," Helen replied warmly to her. She stood next to bed looking down at the young woman would was distressed for some reason or another, "My team brought you here. You are safe."

Kura couldn't help but not believe her, once her in life someone had said that and before she knew it she was locked away like she was a mental patient. "I'm never safe," Kura replied coldly. She hated being so mean but it was simply her way of protecting herself.

"Well I can't guarantee that you will be safe. But I can promise I can try if you let me of course. What is your name?"

"Kura," she replied lowering her tone and looking away. Her body didn't sense any danger or threating energy from her, but calm and peaceful one. Perhaps this woman after all could be a person of her word and someone who could help her. She watched at the woman started to undo her restrains and allowed to move. Once she was completely free she got up and rolled around to face her face to face. She still sat on the bed and the woman was slight worried but she still held her ground to her. She did see any weapons or any knives or needles; just her standing there looking right at her. "Why did you save me?"

"Because someone said you needed are help. The Sanctuary always helps though that are in need of it. Especially people like you," Helen replied kindly. She was unsure how she should approach this by she decided to go with her gut feeling and continued, "Only if you want it."

Kura looked at the doctor for a minute and before saying anything to her. "Who told you that I was in trouble?"

Helen hesitated for a moment before saying, "A friend of mine."

Kura stood up and walked up to Helen she looked straight into her eyes and placed her hand on her Helen's hand. It only took seconds before she knew who told the good Doctor of her issues. Pulling her hand away and stated, "John."

Helen looked at the girl with bewilderment, on how on earth did she know. Then her bewilderment grew to curious and she wanted to know how she knew. She couldn't help but be that way, simply because she was a scientist to the core. "Yes, how did…"

"That isn't the problem. Why would he do something like this for me," Kura wondered as she stared pacing back and forth, "That ass hole. First he leaves me in the middle of a war. Then comes back and gives me five kids." Turns to look at Helen and yells, "Five children!" Turns back around and lowers her voice, "Then decides to go and do this job and then come to find out he just leaves me and the STUPID Cabal comes and TAKES me away and then SHOVES me into room. THERE they FREAKEN INJECT ME WITH DRUGS AND FUCKS ME UP!" Then she stopped and took a deep breath and looked at Helen and gave her a small smile. "But it is life and I must make it the best way I can. The next time you see John tell him to go fuck himself and I don't need his help."

Helen was in mere shock by what this woman was talking about. She couldn't mean the John she knew and loved in the past. She thought he wondered the world by himself, she would have never thought in a million years that John, her John would take on another woman. But she just stood there watching this young woman sit there and allowed her to get things off her chest. She was mere speechless on what to say next.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you," Kura said soon after she noticed that the Doctor was slightly worried, "Sometimes he just gets me so mad that I want to string his ass from the pole and laugh at him." Then she sighed again, "Sorry, sorry. I just. I can tell you are an ok person and it has been a long time since I met someone nice like you. And I am an Iris. Not a human. Well I am human but I have powers and I guess knowing the reputation of his place. I fit in perfectly. And I do need your help and I know where your daughter is and needless to say you really can't help her."

"You know were Ashley is," Helen said with some sort of hope in her tone.

"Yeah. My advice Helen is just think of her as dead. I have lost many children to them and needless to say when I get them back it really are not in the same state as before," she replied with a grim tone, "Let's just say I have buried enough children to know." Kura started to look at the equipment for a few seconds before she looked at Helen and noticed she wasn't happy about it.

"But she may be fixable. I can fix her. I just need to know where she is at," Helen stated as she walked up to Kura.

"Helen," Kura started as she grabbed her shoulders, "I would not get my hopes up. Your daughter is dead. Live with it. What they have created is a completely different being. She will kill you and everything that you have ever stood for." Kura really wanted to bring the point home, but she knew Helen wasn't ready to see what she had seen. The Cabal indeed killed Ashley that she knew and loved and another creature was born. Something that even she, Kura, was afraid of. She could see that Helen was holding back from crying or even believing what she was saying.

"Helen please. I can help you bring her back but I can't promise she'll be alive. I tend to kill her and the others. The Cabal has ruined my life and I tend to make them suffer for what they have done," She finished saying, "If you don't like that then I will leave this place."

"No," Helen stated looking away, she wasn't in the mood to hear it. No, not now, she wanted her baby back. She wanted Ashley here with her at this moment and in time. She was hurting and it seemed that she was the only one that was optimistic about this and the only one that knew she could fix her. Why was everyone saying that she would never get her back? Didn't anyone understand her and didn't anyone believe that Ashley would be really ok! "No, Kura please stay here," Helen stated, "It is welcomed to all. Please make yourself at home. So…. You are a Iris. I have never seen an Iris or even heard of one before."

Kura cocked here eyebrow and replied, "Really?"

"Yes. Do you mind if I ask a few questions," Helen asked.

Kura took a few steps back and replied, "Why?"

"Because I have never met one like you before," Helen stated with excitement in her eyes. She didn't want to think about Ashley anymore. So she gave her attention to another direction.

"I guess," Kura stated with a low note.
