Chapter 7

Helena stood motionless, staring at Paracelsus' bronze statue. She remembered when Caturanga had showed her the Bronze Sector for the first time in London. The statues were far less than the ones she was looking at now. But the sensations they aroused in her were the same.
She had been so fascinated with them, so interested in finding out why these people had been bronzed.

Her Farnsworth began to buzz and she picked up the call.

"HG, Where are you? Artie and the others will be back in a few hours or so…" Claudia's voice resonated through the silent area of the Warehouse.

"I'm the Bronze Sector." Helena explained running a hand through her silky raven hair, "I'm looking for some clues…"

Claudia nodded and threw a glance at Nick.

"Did you find anything?"

"I'm afraid not, darling." Helena replied, "But I think I know who Nick wanted to de-bronze…"

Steve appeared on the screen next to Claudia.

"Paracelsus…" The blue eyed agent stated.

Helena nodded and bit her lower lip.

"Do you have more specific information about him?" the author asked as she started pacing around in the Bronze Sector, among the statues.

Claudia began to type on the computer.

"Here it is! Paracelsus was born in 1493 ... Renaissance physician, botanist, alchemist, astrologer, and general occultist... Okay… mmm …" Claudia kept reading, "He founded the discipline of toxicology. He is also known as a revolutionary for insisting upon using observations of nature, rather than looking to ancient texts, in open and radical defiance of medical practice of his day…" Claudia informed them.

Helena nodded. She already knew all about it.

"If I remember correctly there was something about the Philosopher's stone in his files…" The author suggested.

Claudia typed some more.

"Found it! This is from Warehouse 9 agents' report… Let's see: At the age of 47, Paracelsus created the Philosopher's Stone and intended to use it on himself in order to make himself immortal. Paracelsus wanted to make sure it worked first so he asked his brother, Bennett Sutton, to be his test subject... Sutton willingly wanted to help his brother with his experiments, but without Sutton's knowing, Paracelsus kidnapped Sutton's wife, Charlotte Dupres, and his son, Nick Powell, and used the stone on all three of them in order to discover if the stone's power was affected by age or gender..."

Steve looked at Nick, "So...You're Paracelsus' nephew..."

"I'm not his nephew anymore! LET ME GO!" Nick protested.

Claudia continued, ignoring the younger man's protests.

"Sutton was furious with his brother for what he did to his family and shocked after Paracelsus told Sutton he had to sacrifice the lives of an entire village full of people in order to make them immortal. That's when Sutton decided Paracelsus had to be stopped; Sutton told the authorities what his brother had done and shortly after that Warehouse 9 agents bronzed Paracelsus in order to prevent him from killing more people to become immortal through the Philosopher's Stone..." Claudia finished, looking at Nick.

Helena nodded, "Thank you, Claudia. I'll be there soon."

"Got it, HG!" Claudia told her before switching her Farnsworth off.

Helena put the Farnsworth in her back pocket and sighed. She had prevented something terrible from happening.

Helena remembered reading about Paracelsus during her training period as warehouse agent in London.
Despite being a genius of his time, Paracelsus had a bad reputation and the files read by Claudia confirmed her opinion.

The author threw a long last glance at the statues in the Bronze Sector, the only people who had been her only company for over a century and walked back in the direction of Artie's office.


Artie, Myka, Pete and a handcuffed Charlotte Dupres busted into Artie's office.

Helena, Claudia and Steve looked up from the table. Myka and Helena's gazes met and they smiled shyly at each other. Myka forced herself to not think about kissing Helena again, because that was all she could think about.

"Mother!" Nick shouted, "Help me! We have to get out of here!"

"Nicholas!" Charlotte exclaimed trying to free herself from Pete's grasp.

"Pete, let her be ..." Artie muttered as he took off his hat and jacket.

Pete took the handcuffs off of Charlotte and the woman run to her son and hugged him.

"I'm sorry..." Charlotte whispered.

Pete freed Nick too and let mother and son reunite.

"You've got some explaining to do." Myka reminded Charlotte, interrupting their moment, "Both of you."

Helena and Steve stood up from their seats and walked closely to the group.
Helena went standing next to Myka. The curly haired agent placed her hand on Helena's forearm, smiling weakly at her.

Helena smiled back, losing herself in Myka's forest eyes.

"Paracelsus tricked them and made them immortal..." Claudia interjected. "They want to be mortal again and the only person who can help them it's him."

"Please... You have to help us... This life..." Charlotte said, "This is not fair."

Nick looked down sadly.

Artie shook his head. "We cannot do that, you know it. We can't help you."

"We can't use an artefact to make things better... It'd only complicate things. " Pete explained. "It's against the rules..."

Claudia, Artie and Helena looked down. They had learned that the hard way.

"Oh really?" A voice interrupted them.

The agents turned to look at the office's main entrance and spotted Bennet Sutton, the Count of St. Germain, holding in place a very nervous looking Abigail. He had a gun pointed at the woman's head.

The agents gasped.

"You bloody well know this is not true, Mr. Nielsen." Sutton stated with a smirk.

"Abigail! NO!" Claudia yelled and made a move to run towards them.
Helena grabbed the young agent and held her firmly in place.

"Please, Claudia..." Helena whispered, "Don't do anything you might regret later."

"Sutton..." Myka spoke up, "Please, leave Abigail alone and let's discuss the matter calmly. There is no need to bring violence into this."

Sutton laughed. "My dear Agent Bering..." He began, sending a lustful gaze on her way, "You've always been my favourite... Since the beginning." He sighed dreamily.

Myka rolled her eyes and with a quick movement picked up her Tesla and pointed it at Sutton.

"MYKA STOP!" Pete shouted. Artie, Steve and Claudia looked at her surprised.

Sutton laughed again.

Helena watched in horror as Myka went to stand in front of the group.

"I'm not afraid of you, Sutton." Myka stated calmly, "And I'm not afraid to die... Just, drop the gun and let her go."

"Do as she says, Father." Nick pleaded him.

Sutton's expression softened as his son called him "Father".

"I so, so like women in charge...", he smiled mischievously at Myka and freed Abigail from his grasp.

"Pig..." Charlotte muttered.

Helena and Claudia helped Abigail and the younger woman hugged her tightly.

"I'm sorry..." she whispered into the doctor's ear.

Abigail hugged her back.

"And who's this?" Sutton asked pointing at Helena with the gun.

Helena looked at him.

"I'm Helena Wells." She said coldly. "I suggest you drop your gun, Mr. Sutton."

"Hot..." He commented. This time Myka sent him a killer look.

Sutton laughed, "You are so full of yourselves... Look at you!" he exclaimed.

Helena went to stand at Myka's left and Pete mimicked her action, standing at Myka's right.

"The perfect Warehouse team... So nice to see all of you here..." Sutton said, "Now, now... I have a proposition for you."

Artie took a step forward.

"We are not de-bronzing anyone!" Artie stated, firmly.

Sutton sighed, shaking his head.

"Why don't you drop the gun, Professor?" Pete asked, "We all want to find a solution to this mess..."

Artie glared at Pete.

"Please, Bennet... Do as they say..." Charlotte said, walking towards the Count of St. Germain.

"And why should I do that?" Sutton asked, "You know quite well what the truth is, dear."

"Please..." Charlotte whispered, standing in front of the gun. "We both know you can't kill me..."

Sutton dropped the gun and looked at his wife. Well, ex-wife.

"What truth?" Myka asked.

Sutton grinned.

"If you free my son, it'll be a pleasure to tell you what I know."

Artie sighed, "Fine. But no games."

"Deal." The Count said.

Artie silently nodded at Pete and went to free Nick.

"Sit down." Myka ordered to both Sutton and Charlotte.

The Count smirked at her, "Sexy..." He whispered.

Both Helena and Charlotte rolled their eyes.

Sutton winked at Myka, "Uh-oh... Someone's jealous."

Helena wanted to slap him really hard.

"HG..." Myka whispered noticing Helena's ready-to-attack posture.

Helena relaxed and nodded. Myka nodded back at her.

Sutton observed the Warehouse 13 team: Artie, Pete, Myka and Helena were right in front of him, looking down at him with solemn expressions on their faces.

Claudia, Abigail, Steve were looking at them from afar.

Artie came closer.

"You've threatened one of us and used her to enter the Warehouse. Do you know that now your immortal life lies in the hands of the Regents?" Artie stated calmly.

"I'm not afraid of your Regents, Agent Nielsen." Sutton said, "Maybe they will actually know how to help me and my family..."

Pete let out a heartily laugh.

Sutton turned towards him and lifted one eyebrow.

"I wouldn't laugh if I were in you, Agent Lattimer." He said, "You all sound so proud of your rules... Which is sad because you all have walked all over them, in a way or another. "

"Tell us what you know." Myka ordered.

Sutton nodded, "Of course, my dear." He begun, "What I know. Well, you forgot I am Paracelsus' brother ... He was also Caretaker of Warehouse 9... So I am somehow connected to the Warehouse."

The others listened in silence to Sutton's words.

"Of course my connection is not the same as a Caretaker's but... I am also a Count and immortal and ..." he said looking Myka straight in the eye, "Extremely intelligent and good looking..."

"Here we go again..." Pete muttered.

"Get to the point!" Claudia ordered.

Sutton sniggered.

"The thing is, Agent Nielsen... I did what I do best: research and a lot of digging on the matter." Sutton said, "I know what you did."

Artie felt a shiver run down his spine.

"You played with time... You altered this reality and restored the Warehouse..."

The room fell silent.

"Artie? What is he talking about?" Pete asked.

"The Astrolabe, Agent Lattimer." Sutton replied, "Remember when I helped you locating the Count of St. Germain's Ring which reversed the effects of the Chinese Orchid and restored the peace in the world? It was my pleasure, by the way..."

"What does it has to do with the Astrolabe?" Myka asked.

"The Astrolabe what was created the evil in the first place." Helena interjected looking intentionally at Artie. He still hadn't told the others.

Myka, Pete, Claudia, Steve and Abigail looked from Helena to Artie.

"What's going on, you guys?" Claudia asked as she stood up. "What are you keeping from us? We have the right to know."

Sutton laughed.

"Oh my! This is too good to be true!" he exclaimed excitedly.

"Artie?" Pete asked.

"Helena?" Myka whispered questioningly.

Artie began walking up and down the office.

"I had no choice..." Artie said.

"Guys I am experiencing a major vibe right now and I dunno if this is good or bad..." Pete commented.

Artie sighed and looked at Pete, Myka, Claudia, Steve and Abigail.

"Only HG, Mrs. Frederick and L-Leena were informed." Artie explained, "The Warehouse was gone... Mrs. Frederick was gone."

"I was gone..." Helena said, helping Artie in his speech.

"WHAT!?" Claudia, Myka and Pete started to yell.

"She died saving us..." Artie said looking at Pete and Myka.
