It started out as a small flame, but then the fire grew. Soon the cell was engulfed in flames. Olivia's pyrokenetic ability had not manifested itself since she was a little girl. Since then she had only seen the other Cortexiphan kids use it. She wasn't sure how it started. She wished she had a way to control it. Especially now. If Secretary Bishop was not aware of her unique gifts, he was about to find out.
The fire was suppressed quickly. But it was far from safe for Olivia. The structure of the cell was compromised. The roof caved in on her. Thankfully she was already unconscious from smoke inhalation, otherwise Olivia would have to endure pain from the fallen rubble.
"I want to see her, Charlie."
"Frank, she is not your Olivia."
"You said so yourself, she may hold the key to getting Livvy back."
"Yeah. Yeah I know. Look. The Secretary's orders are clear. The prisoner will be subject to a battery of tests. He wants see what makes her tick. It just didn't seem right. The real reason I am even telling you this is so that you can extract her. If anyone knew I was talking to you..."
Frank Stanton found out Olivia was on special assignment, when he got back. She had been gone for a week. Never did he realize that she would end up in another universe. Now Charlie is telling him about the existence of another Olivia from the other side, a parallel Earth. It had been surreal. One way or another, he was not prepared to lose this Olivia too.
"So does this mean you'll get her out?...I'll call Broyles."
"Let me take care of the Secretary. You have a go."
Olivia had been sent to the burn ward since the fire. They made their move during the transfer from the hospital.
Colonel Broyles delivered the report concerning the incident to the Secretary in person.
"No survivors."
"The transport exploded like a roman candle. No body could have survived the explosion."
Olivia opened her eyes. She was lying on the backseat of an SUV. She tried to massage away the headache she had right now. When the driver noticed that she was awake, he slowed down and parked the vehicle. She saw who it was when he turned to face her.
"Hey. You are up...I'm Frank."
"I know. You and her are a couple."
"Right...You must be thirsty."
Olivia took a sip from the water bottle, Frank held out for her.
"Where are you taking me?"
"We are going to Boston. If you still have the power to open a door to the other side, that's where I am told is your best bet."
"Why are you doing this? Helping me I mean?" He smiled.
"Isn't it obvious? I want to get my Liv back. If the Secretary had his way, you would have been dissected by now. Then how will she get back...Don't worry though. He thinks you are dead. Fringe Division is also helping too. Charlie Francis will rendezvous with us at Harvard."
Olivia thought for a moment.
"Do we have time for a quick stop?"
