Warehouse 13: New life

What if the one person on the team was affected by an artifact but after the artifact was neutralized nothing happened? How would the team react to this new and sudden change? Especially when the artifact creates false memories?

A.N. Myka and HG are married. HG never tried to destroy the world; instead she tried to help stop Macpherson after being debronzed and figuring out his true plan.


HG's POV

"Myka, did you wake Claude up yet?" I called "We are going to be late?"

"Yes Helena" she walking into the kitchen with Claudia on her hip. The little girl was dressed in black skinny jeans, a pink tank top with a purple plaid shirt unbuttoned. "All she needs is something to eat" About Two Months ago, while in the dark vault, Claudia was somehow affected by an artifact.

Two Months ago, in the dark vault

"HG," Claudia called to me "can you please just hurry up this place freaks me out?"

"No, we are almost done" I said when then was a sudden bang followed by a scream "Claude?"

I started walking through the vault in hopes to find the missing girl, rounding the corner I saw a pile of junk on the floor from the old vault that had yet to be tossed out

"Claudia, you okay" I started to move the things when I saw a hand, I grabbed it and pulled out the girl but this girl was not Claudia, Claude is 19 this girl couldn't be more than four maybe five

"Sweetheart?" I asked trying to wake her up, when finally she opened her eyes "Are you okay, what your name?"

"Mummy it's me" she said like it was the most obvious thing in the world "I'm your Pooh bear"

"Oh bloody hell" I mumbled. I only ever call Claudia Pooh bear for her obsession with that book when she is sick. Now looking at the girl, it did look like Claudia, minus the now black hair "uh, Okay, let's go find Artie, shall we?" I stood up and picked up the small child and started to make my back to the office

Arriving back at the office, I noticed that Pete and Steve have returned from their trip, Artie and Myka were doing paperwork

"Guys!" I yelled getting everyone's attention, and startling the little girl "We have a problem"

"Mommy!" Claudia squealed wiggling out of my arms and running to Myka

"What in the world happened?" Artie asked looking at the young girl and the confused Myka

"I don't know honestly, but that is Claudia" I pointed out "We were doing inventory in the dark vault like we were told, I heard stuff fall then a scream from her, I pulled her out of the pile of junk that fell, which you need to throw away, and she came out like that unconscious, when she came to she said I was her mummy and she was my Pooh bear, that when I knew it was still Claude"

"Aww, she is so cute" Steve said walking over to Myka and Claudia at the table

"Uncle Steve!" shouted the little girl "I told you that you can't call me cute, I'm not cute"

"You said that dark vault?" questioned Pete

"Oh my lord" Artie said

"What?!" everyone half shouted

"It the child's toy, we could never figure out who's it was" Artie started "all we know is that once it affects someone no matter if it is neutralized they stay a child. When someone touches the toy, that person is changed into a child and false memories are created, the age always varies. So Claudia how old are you?" All heads turned to the child in question who was not playing with Myka's hands while sitting on her lap

"Grumpy, I am five" the little girl held up four fingers, Myka quickly fixed her hand so it was five.

"Okay, and she called you mummy HG?" he said slowly "and Myka mommy?"

"Yes," I started "what about it"

"Well congratulations" Artie said "it's a girl"

"Wait a minute" Pete said "you are saying she is stuck like this, as a child?"

"Yes Pete," Steve said "That is exactly what he is saying"

"There is absolutely nothing you can do?" Myka questioned standing up and putting the girl on her hip and swaying slightly

"Nothing, No matter what we did when we first got the artifact reversed the affects" Artie said "but it's not looking like you will have a problem taking care of the girl" Claudia had her head on Myka's shoulder and was playing with Myka's straight dark brown hair

Present time

It took a few hours to come to terms that Claudia was now our little girl but it wasn't bad. Leena helped with getting clothes and making her room appropriate for her age, Pete and Steve were great 'Uncles' and played with her, even Artie enjoyed her company

"Here you go Pooh bear" I said giving her a blueberry waffle, and taking her from Myka so she could get coffee, I quickly pecked her on the lips while grabbing the child. "Myka you sure she is okay? She feels kind of hot." I stated feeling her head and noticing that she is not eating the waffle that she normally would gobble up, so I took it an put it on the counter

"Let me see" Myka said putting her hand on the girls forehead as the Farnsworth started going off "She does, hold on let me get this" grabbing the Farnsworth off the table and opening it "Hey Artie."

"I go a ping for you and HG, South California" Artie said "Somebody is taking the heat from the residents"

"Well Artie, we think Claudia is sick" Myka said

"Well, bring her here I will watch her till Leena can come pick her up" he stated "Now hurry up"

"Fine" Myka closed the Farnsworth and turned to me and Claude "I will go grab out bags and get a bag for Claude to stay with Leena" Since Myka and I got married we moved out of the B&B and to a large Victorian house just outside of the town.

"Alright, I will grab her some meds and book" I said walking out the room to the living room as Myka went to head up the stairs. Walking into the living room over to the couch I tried to set Claude on the couch but she wouldn't let me go "hey baby, I need you to sit on the couch so I can grab some of your stuff to stay with your Aunt Leena"

"No mummy," she cried "I don't want you to leave!" tightening her grip on me

"Hey it's alright, we will be back in a couple of days" giving up on trying to put her down. I walked around the room to the book shelf and grabbed her book and set it on the couch then went to the bathroom to get some medicine for whatever is getting.

"Alright I got out all out stuff" Myka said coming down the stairs "Let's go" and we headed out the door and into the car

"Wait where blankie at?" Claudia asked once we got to the car. We have noticed that when she is scared or upset, or now sick she talks more like a toddler than a five year old.

"It's still in her room, Will you go get it?" Myka asked as she started to strap Claude in. Even though she is old enough to only need a booster seat, she is so small we worry about her getting her we got a front facing car seat.

I ran back inside and up the stairs and grabbed the blanket, getting in the passenger seat I turned and gave the blanket to the child. We arrived at the Warehouse a half hour later, Myka grabbing Claude upon noticing that the girl was asleep, while I grabbed her bag we made our way inside.

"Okay here is her bag, inside are clothes for a week with PJ's, as well as medicine because she is getting sick." Myka explained laying Claudia on the couch that was recently moved into the office. "Bye baby" she kissed her head and laid her blanket over her. I made my way over and kissed her head as well.

"Bye" I whispered. "Bye Artie" And with that we left in search of the artifact.
