Chapter 4:

Magnus and her team went to Kerala, India with the help of Druitt to find and retrieve a rare abnormal that had been spotted by some of the locals. When they got there they were surrounded by lots of rubber trees, that could give the abnormal some hiding ground, so they had to move quickly. Will saw something move out of the corner of his eye and turned his head slightly to see the abnormal moving away from them. "Ah Magnus, it went that way." Will said in a hushed voice and pointed in the direction he had seen it move. Magnus started to follow it and think of the best way to capture it. They didn't really want to shoot tranks at it because that could spook it and make it lash out at them in defense. The best way she could think of was by surrounding it.

"Kate, Will, go around that way," Magnus instructed pointing to the left. "Henry, Nikola, go that way," she said while pointing to the right. "John and I will come around in the front, we want it surrounded so fan out enough to do that alright?" everyone nodded and went their separate ways. John teleported Helen and himself in front of the creature and waited until the others got in place to move in closer. Once it was surrounded and knew it, it tried to get away but couldn't. Will came up behind it with the crate for it and scooped it up and locked it in there.

It was really hot and they had been tracking the creature for a few hours and now that they had the creature they sat down and rested for a few moments be for they teleported away. While they were sitting there Henry turned to Nikola and asked "Would a rubber lined or insulated crate capture the creature?"

"Why Henry I think you might be on to something." Tesla replied with his ever so annoying sarcastic voice.

"So I assume you already thought of that too?"

"Genius remember? Yes I thought of that. As soon as we got here I started to think of that. It might very well work too."

"So you boys just need to get back to the lab and line a crate with rubber? That's all? It took you this long to figure that out? Tesla, I thought you were a genius like you keep reminding us and it took you this long to figure that out?" Kate said mocking him.

"I know, I know. I should have figured that out sooner. It's kind of embarrassing alright. Can we just get back to the Sanctuary so we can get to work? This might just work, maybe."

"Alright, John please take Henry and Nikola back first." Magnus said.

John grabbed them both on the arm and teleported back to the Sanctuary with them and left them in the lab, went back to the others and took Kate and Will next so that they could put the abnormal away. He then went back to get Helen.

"Do you think they can do it?" Magnus asked.

"I have faith in your boys, I think they can." John replied trying to reassure her. And with that he wrapped his arm around her waist and teleported her to her office, did a mock bow and sat on the couch. Magnus sat down at her desk keeping her face away from John so he couldn't see her smiling.

2 hours later:

"Hey Doc, we finished." Henry stated as he walked into Magnus' office.

"Will it work?"

"Yes, as far as we know it will."

"John we are going to have to stop your heart and shock you quite like we did the first time only this time we are going to capture that thing." She spit out the word thing in disgust and continued. "Are you willing to go through with this?"

"If it cures me then yes, when would you like to do it?" John asked.

"Now, I want to get this over with. Are you two ready to do this now?" she asked Henry.

"Ya."

"Alright then let's get started. I need the infirmary prepped and ready to go. "

"Already is. All we need now is you and Druitt."

"Alright we'll be down in a minute."

Henry left to go to the infirmary to make sure everything was indeed ready.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" she said realizing she had never really asked him whether he wanted this or not but was hoping he did.

"Yes. But if they can not capture the creature I don't want to put this whole facility in danger…" he sighed and continued. "If they don't capture it I will take that creature in me again to protect you, your Sanctuary, and everyone here. But just remember that I do love you,"

"Well let's hope that doesn't happen and that they can capture it then, shan't we?" she said turning towards the door to leave. Druitt followed her to the infirmary where the procedure of sorts was to take place.

Helen stopped his heart, shocked him, and they were able to capture the creature. John was free. Helen was relieved and stayed with John until he woke.

It had been sevral hours since they had captured the creature and John was still not up and Will had come in and brought Magnus some food because he knew she wouldn't think about eating if someone didn't think about it for her. She looked up to see him walk in with some food and smiled at him when he said "Thought you should eat something."

"Thank you, Will."

"How is he?"

"Honestly I don't know. I thought he would be up by now but he's not. I wont know until he wakes."

"Well, you need some sleep. Why don't u go to bed and I'll sit here and if he wakes up I'll come get you."

"Thank you Will, but I would like to stay here and be here when he wakes. Plus I wont be able to sleep. It's better if I'm here."

"Alright, but I'm going to sleep. I hope he wakes up Magnus."

"Me too." She said as she grabbed one of John's hands to just hold. A few hours later he woke to see her sleeping in the chair still holding his hand.
