Journey Home

Spoilers: Over There parts 1 & 2

Disclaimer: I do not own Fringe, if I did Olivia would be on this side not that side.

She counted six weeks, six weeks of being in the dark except when the lights were turned on once a day and food shoved in the room as well as a jug of water.

Olivia cried and sang softly to herself, doing anything to keep her mind off of what her alternate self was doing in her world. They'd never know it wasn't her until it was too late, unless Peter noticed the differences in her attitude and she hoped he would.

This Walter was vengeful and harsh, she'd be taken to a lab and experimented on but thankfully each time she was knocked out…she just didn't know why. She was scared and alone, Ella and Rachel and everyone she knew, especially Peter, was at the mercy of her alternate self and it terrified her.

She often wished to die but she couldn't, she had nothing to kill herself with and she knew she had to wait, wait what could be days or months or even years for the others to come.

They secured her far from a weak spot, she couldn't open a portal even if she wanted to.

The lights turned on and she waited for her daily meal but it didn't come, instead the door opened and a woman stood there. It was Peter's real mother, Elizabeth, and she had a look of mixed peace and wonder on her face however hatred was there.

"Do you know who I am?"

"Elizabeth Bishop, Peter's mother." She sat up and waited, waited for whatever was to come. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry about Walter taking him away and I'm sorry for trying to take him back again but your husband planned…" she stopped and picked at her blanket, "like you'd really believe me anyways."

"She's there isn't she? Olivia Dunham, the Pessum Ire Universitas, from our universe?" Elizabeth looked at her and bent down, "she's there and she'll bring him back won't she?"

"The Destroyer of Worlds, why do you call her that?"

"She has a tattoo on her neck, a found it in a notebook Peter left. I noticed the tattoo in her file and it's a match to the one who will destroy everything…please can you help my son?"

"No, no I can't…not here. I have to get to a weak spot to open a portal to the other side. Please help me and I'll keep him safe but he can never come back however I can take you there…you'll be safe there with him."

"I can't, I'm sorry…it took me two weeks just to convince Walter to let me see you. I'll try to see that you're moved to more…comfortable containment. I'll do what I can but he'll never let you go…you're unique, unlike all the others you haven't died. Tell me why Olivia, why haven't you died?"

Olivia shook her head and moved back, knowing it was a trick…everything was a trick, the statement she made about her alternate self being the destroyer of worlds. "I'm sorry."

Suddenly Elizabeth morphed and in her place stood the Walternate, he eyed her. "You are tough, tell me why you haven't died?"

"No! I'll keep Peter safe till the day I stop breathing and that means telling you nothing. You've experimented and tortured me and I've still said nothing. I won't tell you anything that will give my alternate self a way to hurt Peter." She looked at him, "know this though, I told something to Peter before we attempted to leave this world and the moment Peter realizes that my alternate self didn't say it…he'll know."

"And he'll come for you."

Olivia shook her head, "no, because I'm the only one who can cross over, the only one with the ability to do so from my world. Peter can't but he will kill her without mercy because he'll assume I'm dead…who knows, maybe she's already dead."

"Far from it, Agent Dunham is still very much alive and I like her, she'll make a wonderful daughter-in-law."

"I hope Peter kills her and makes her die without mercy because it'll help him move on, but he'll never think of you as his father the moment he finds out I'm not with him. He'll see the man who took him as the father who really loves him, who saved him twice while he knows you tried to kill him."

He tried to choke her but his hand stopped midway, it shook as if trying to moved and Olivia smiled. He eyed her, "what are you?"

"Bell and Walter described it as the next step in human evolution." She pushed her arms out and he flew into the wall, passing out as he slid to the floor. Getting up she walked over to the man and grabbed his 'show-me' as well as what was in his pockets, a Model 76 and several data pads.

Olivia quickly shut the door and made sure the lights were out and the window was shut before leaving. She quickly found a locker room and changed into a combat suit she found there. Looking up the data pad, she found the nearest weak spot was a state away…she'd have to hijack a car and drive there but without getting caught in the process.

It had been her plan all along, to stay scared and eventually her abilities would develop. It had taken weeks of control and weeks of staying scared but finally she felt the abilities as if they where there. She had no idea she could do but apparently anything her mind could think of.

If that was so, could she make people believe she was Walternate, could she change their minds? She'd have to find out and she had to be quick about it.

A/N: What will Olivia do next?
