The Story So Far:
Elizabeth DeWitt Ryan has been through far more than most in her life: Captivity in a flying city, discovering her ability to travel to alternate realities, omniscience, and her origins, her tragic death in the underwater city of Rapture, and finally her resurrection and rescue via a Vita-Chamber thanks to her future husband Jack Ryan.
Until recently, Elizabeth's life has been quiet and peaceful, a welcome change to the chaos and death. Ever since Jack left for Arkham to save his daughters' friend, she has been having horrifying dreams and visions: Bizarre and horrendous rituals performed by both humans and unimaginable monsters, another city under the waves where an unspeakable horror sleeps, worlds that burn and suffer as cultists, monsters, and an ancient evil beyond comprehension destroy it. She sees versions of Booker that are driven mad, and others that triumph against such evil, the former far more than the latter. They're not dreams; they're memories of the time when she could see all the doors and what's behind all the doors. Memories that she has mercifully forgotten until now.
A vision of a possible future is the worst: Jack either dying or going insane from battling an "Ancient One" and its cultists, and a voice from beyond space and time itself calling her name, promising to destroy all she loves. She will not let that happen. As she tearfully leaves her adopted daughters with Tenenbaum and departs for Arkham, Elizabeth remembers a horrifying phrase she learned from the Tears and shudders in disgust and horror.
"Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth. He knows where the Old Ones broke through of old, and where They shall break through again. He knows where They have trod earth's fields, and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread."
Personal BioShock headcannon: After defeating Fontaine, the Luteces contact Jack Ryan and tell him of a woman who saved a Little Sister in the Civil War's beginning whose body lies in Suchong's Clinic. He goes there, finds Elizabeth's corpse, locates the secret lab behind the wall in Suchong's office, and uses the prototype Vita-Chamber to bring her back. On the surface, they eventually marry and look after five of the former Little Sisters. Elizabeth deserved a happy ending people, not that! If I ever get the BioShock series, first thing I'm going to do after completing Burial at Sea is go back to the original and kill Fontaine several times. Preferably with the wrench.
