The hours started to pass and Emily was still in tombed in ice, leaving Helen sitting along on the toilet waiting for her youngest child to finally wake up and to be okay. She continued to keep her laptop on her lap, trying to keep herself occupied for the time being. Though she had been waiting for hours for Emily, she had been able to watch many of the video clips that her future self had put on the flash drive, so she had been able to catch herself up to speed on the condition and what she couldn't give to her daughter.

~Playing on the screen, was yet another video of security camera footage of the whole gang down in the lab, looking up at one of the monitors, standing around Helen who was sitting in a chair in front of a single table with her computer on it. It wasn't long after they had been standing there watching the video when Emily took a tiny step back, moving herself away from the group.

She bent over some and held her body protectively as her face started to grow a shade darker then normal. Kate was the first to realized that Emily was no longer standing beside her, turning her head and witnessing Emily's legs go weak, shaking slightly before she started to drop towards the floor. Kate quickly rushed forwards and caught Em before she took the tumble down to the floor.

"Magnus!" Kate called holding onto Emily's weak body before turning to look over to Helen who, like the others were now looking over at her. Slowly she lowered herself down to her knees as the weight she held was fully upon her.

Everyone quickly rushed over to make sure that Emily was alright but Helen was the fastest to respond, getting down onto her knees as quickly as she could, taking a hold of her child and pulling her into her arms.

Emily was in pain, it was written on her face as well as in her body. Her face was a dark shade of red, tears overflowing her eyes, her body tense and shaking. "Emily?" Helen called down to her, trying to keep her attention as her hand grasped onto her child's.

It was hard for the young teen to focus on anything, pain was bad and only seemed to get worse. Emily's grip tightened around Helen's and she began to figet, wanting the pain to stop. "Make it stop!" She cried, closing her eyes tightly.

Helen looked up to Nikola, who just gave a nod as if he knew what she was thinking. He took off out of the lab and and came back moments later with a syringe in his hands, kneeling back down as he handed the needle to Helen. Taking his daughters from Helen so that she could inject the pain medication.

Seconds after administrating the drug, Emily stopped figeting and took in some deep breaths to catch up for the ones she lost, opening her eyes and looking between her father and mother. A smile came to both their faces, a relief but it didn't last long. Emily grabbed a hold of her mother's hand, squeezing it tighter than she had before, her back arching off Helen's lap, eyes snapping shut tightly, veins popping out from the sides of her temples, right before Emily let out a horrific scream of pain.

Everyone began to panic. They thought with the pain medication that Helen had just given to Emily that everything was going to be okay but seeing the side effect, scared them. The medication only seemed to make the pain worse for Emily.

Helen's eyes shifted up from her daughter and up to Nikola with fearful eyes. "Get her to the infirmary." Nikola didn't say anything. He just nodded his head and moved closer before scooping up his daughter into his arms, holding her close as she held onto him tightly before he carried her out of the lab. Leaving Helen on the floor unable to move or say anything.

"Mom, are you okay?" Ashley's voice asked softly moving over to her mother but before she was able to kneel down beside her, Helen was standing her self up.

"I'm fine, Ashley." She assured her eldest before making a beeline past everyone that had been standing there watching the scene unfold and make her way towards the elevator in a hurried fashion so that she could get to the infirmary quickly.~

Helen watched with sad eyes, how she would fail her daughter in that moment by only causing her more pain, rather than easing it like she was hoping too. She couldn't imagine having to really go through all that in the future. It was too heartbreaking to even think about it. And thoughts of Nikola came to mind and how he obeyed all her orders that she barked at him on the video. Perhaps he and his obnoxious was gone and he had indeed changed for better.

"That was the first incident." A male voice came from the door to the bathroom, causing Helen to look up wondering who was there, disturbing her. She gave a small smile when seeing that it was Jason.

"I'm sorry?" She asked not really understanding what he was referring to.

"The clip your watching. I wasn't there for it but I've seen it." He said walking in, with a handful of cloths in his hand. "It was the first time she started to experience the pain. You didn't know the drug would be ineffective. You can't blame yourself. I know Emily didn't." She said softly placing the cloths on the counter top by the sink. "Dry cloths for Em to change into when she wakes up."

"Thank you." Helen said softly with a genuine smile this time. Grateful that he had thought about clothing for Emily to change into once she unfreezes herself. "And what's your story? These videos don't offer much on you."

Jason nodded his head and gave her a smile. "That's because it's suppose to help you learn about Emily. Not me." He said leaning himself back against the sink and crossed his arms over his chests before turning to look at the frozen tub. "I, uh...I owe everything to Emily. She saved me."

"How?" She asked curiously, closing her laptop and holding onto it.

"I was living on the streets for the past two years. Once my family had learned that I was...different." He started to explain.

"An abnormal." Helen corrected him.

"Yeah. Once they realized that, I was asked to leave and not come back. I scared them I think. So i packed up what I could. They gave me some money, then I left. Never to look back again." He explained. "Emily found me one day. She offered me help. She offered me Sanctuary. Then she brought me here. I met you and I've been here ever since."

"What is your ability?" Helen wondered aloud, getting more and more curious about him by the moment. Her daughter obviously saw something in him and found out about his ability before she brought him home.

"I can manipulate the density in my molecular structure. I believe that's how you put it when you ran tests." He answered. "I can phase through walls basically. I can also flex my muscles and become impenetrable. Course, I'm limited time wise. I can only use my ability for a minute before I have to go back to normal density."

"If you stay longer in your intangible state, you'll face effects that could cause physical or permanent damage?" Helen asked, trying to understand what his ability was.

"Yeah, basically. I wouldn't be surprised if it could kill me." He answered before looking back over to Emily, looking her over carefully. "I owe her a lot, you know? For bringing me here. If she hadn't, who knows where I would have ended up."

Jason looked at Helen a moment before standing up straight and making his way towards the door, stopping himself at the door and turning around to give one last look at frozen tub before turning and walking himself out.


Helen was left alone again. Sitting in the same place where she has been in for past 11 hrs, just waiting for Emily. But now that she had finished with watching all the video clips that had been on the flash drive Jason had given to her. She sat there with her laptop, this time working on catching up on the work she had given up the moment that Emily and Jason had walked into her office.

As she continued her work, she didn't even take notice that the ice from the tub had begun to melt. The ice above the water slowly growing thinner and thinner till they were little iceberg's in the water. Emily slowly sat herself up right, wiping the cold water away from her eyes as Helen seeing movement out of the corner of her eye, turned to see what it was she saw. Seeing Emily sitting up caused a smile to spread across her lips, closing her laptop and setting it off to the side, grabbing a towel and rushing over to her.

"Thank god." Helen let out as she wrapped the towel around Emily. Causing her to jump in the process, turning to face her, then sighed in relief seeing who it was.

"Sorry. I..I wasn't expecting you to be waiting." Emily said looking at her.

"Of course, I'd wait for you." She said drying her daughters hair with the towel.

"No." She shook her head some. "I meant...You always were waiting but after..." Emily stopped trailing off unable to finish the sentence.

Helen looked at her with soft eyes, bringing up her hand and caressing her daughters face some before. "Come on. Let's get you into some dry cloths. Hm?"

Emily nodded her head and slowly stood up on shaky legs. She had been laying in that ice coffin close to 12 hours. Helen wrapped her arm around her, helping her to climb out of the tub and onto the floor. Moving in front of Emily, she began helping her to dry off more quickly so that she could get her out of the wet cloths she wore and into dry ones.

"Mom." Emily said looking at her, placing her hands on her arms to stop her from trying to remove her shirt. "I can change myself."

Helen stopped when she heard Emily call her mom, moving her hands away from the ends of the shirt she had been trying to pull at so she could remove it. She nodded her head with a smile then walked over to the clothing that was sitting on the sink. Grabbing the top, getting it ready for when Emily needed it. When she turned back around to hand the shirt to Emily, she stood in surprise at what she was seeing.

Emily had dropped the towel to her feet and stood up straight, taking in a deep breath as she did this the water that was in her hair and in her clothing, drained out to nowhere. Leaving her hair and cloths now dry. Turning her head to the side, seeing her mother looking at her, she gave her a smile.
