Please don't kill me as I said in the last chapter…hope you enjoy it all.

Chapter 12 – His MIT Shirt

Peter

Peter woke with a start, he had been dreaming a wonderful dream of Olivia. There she was laying in a grassy meddow and when he made his way over to her, she smiled at him and pulled him down to lay with her. She had pulled him on to her chest so he could hear her heart beat and she heard him whisper, "I will find you Peter."

And he woke up believing every word. Looking around he noted that his wrists had been untied but his entire body was sore. He was tried to pull himself out his laying position but his ribs ached.

"Get up Peter, you are embarrasing yourself." Walter's voice rang out through the room but it was laced with malice. Nothing like the father he had grown up with. Behind him, Peter could felt two strong arms pull him up by the underarms. Crying out in pain Peter was dragged out of the room and in to large machine.

"Now I'm sure by now you would have realised you are special and it is you who is going to help me break the wall between the words. Now I don't need your concent because I am going to do this anyway. I just wanted to tell you what I am going to do to you before I do it." A smirk arrived on Walter's face and Peter cringed.

Speaking out softly Peter knew he would probably hate himself for this, "Did you ever love me as a child or was I always going to be part of the end of the world? Even if my father hadn't stolen me, would I still be in this position." Peter allowed the word father to be more audible than the rest and the look in Walter's face told Peter that he had gotten the result he was after.

"Yes. No matter what happened when you were a child, you were always going to end up here. And I am not sorry for that for I would sacrifice my own son any day if it meant destroying the other universe." Walter turned on his heals and walked away.

Peter just stared as his figure became smaller and smaller. A sudden jolt brought him back to reality and he realised he was being strapped to this machine. His shoulders were warped in an uncomfortable angle and he cried out in pain as he felt leather being strapped to his wrists. He was let go and his body dropped in pain but hung by his wrists. Looking around he noticed that he was on top of a large building over looking the city and the machine around him curved into a circle. The wind blew through the gaps of the metal and hit his face painfully.

Peter could do nothing but sob silently to himself, he wanted to believe that Olivia would come for him, he wanted to believe that she would save him, but he didn't know how she was going to do that.

Olivia

Watching Walter scurry around the lab was making Olivia impatient. She knew Walter knew the way to the other side and she knew he knew exactly how to find Peter while they were there but Walter was in one of his moods and it was talking all Astrid's strength to cry and calm him down.

"Walter you need to try and focus!" Astrid called from across the lab. She had given up trying to follow him, instead she just yelled.

"But Agent Farnsworth, what happens if I can't get there or if something happens to Peter while he is there and…" Walter was cut short by Olivia crying out in pain.

He and Astrid were at her side in a instant and they pulled her to her feet from her sitting position. Taking Olivia's hands in hers Astrid noticed that she purple bruises around her wrists as if they had been tied up.

"Olivia what happened here?" She asked running her fingers over the bruises.

"I'm not sure but I have bruises on my ribs and bad as well." Olivia lifted her tshirt to reveal fresh bruising. The her eyes widened and she cried out again, this time a bloody gash appeared on her cheek under her left eye.

Astrid and Walter glanced at each other. This was not good.

Peter

'John' had made his way back to Peter on the rooftop and he had taken out a very small switchblade and brought it to Peter's face. Swinging his arm he cut Peter on the cheek just under his left eye making him bleed. He cried out in pain again, but decided not to let 'John' have the benefit of seeing him in even more pain.

Olivia

Taking a sip of water, Olivia cleared her throat, "Walter, this is all happening to me because it's what is happening to Peter. The bruises, the pain, the bloody. He is the one being hurt and because of this 'connection' you keep telling me about, I am feeling it to."

Walter just stared at Olivia and then spoke, "Yes that is quite possible. I always knew the bond between you both was strong, but I never knew it was this strong."

"Walter do you think, because of this connection, if I was to get to the otherside I would be able to go straight to Peter?" Olivia watched the old man with widened eyes and smiled slightly when he nodded.

"Yes I do believe it would be so but I must warn you, I might be very dangerous."

"Walter I don't care. I have to get to Peter!" Olivia had put her hands on Walter's arms to stop him from moving.

"Very well my dear. The first thing we need to do it get you out of those clothes and drugged up." Walter clapped his hands and went to work.

"Walter, what am I supposed to wear?" Olivia called and he went into her office.

"Well my dear, you can keep your jeans on but please put this on." Walter handed her one of Peter's MIT shirts and she just looked at it, confused, "It may not be enough for the connection to take you to him, I think something of his might help as well."

Olivia just nodded and once she had slipped her tshirt off and his rather large MIT shirt on, Walter had injected her with a drug before she could sit down.

"Walter, what the hell was that?" Olivia fell to the floor and blinked her eyes, trying to focus them but it didn't work. Walter and Astrid carried her over to one of the lab tables and laid her down.

"Now Olivia, you must think only of Peter," that's not going to be to hard, "and I need you to listen to my voice. Think back to when you were a child Olivia, back to when you were a young girl. Think back to when your imagination could take you wherever you wanted to go. Imagin this reality slipping away, opening like a curtain. Allow the universe to pass right through you. Allow you imagination to take you to the other side. Let it take you to Peter."

Walter's voice blurred and Olivia felt strange, like she was floating and so she spoke, "Walter I don't think it worked." Olivia opened her eyes and found herself on the floor in an alley way.

Standing up slightly she was wearing the same thing she wore when she was in the lab but now she was outside and it was cold. She wished she was wearing a jumper and allowed herself to be intoxcated by Peter's smell instead. It was still so strong and she smiled. She knew she was going to find him and she knew she was going to have him in her arms again, soon.

Taking a few steps to the end of the alley way Olivia looked out in to the street. It was raining and the wind wiped at her face. She was about to cross the road when she hear a scream. The voice was familiar and she instantly knew it was Peter.

Look around she looked up into the raining sky and saw his limp figure on a buliding top. He was attached to some kind of machine and there was someone standing in front of him. Without a second though, Olivia raced across the street, though the front door of the building, headed straight for the stairs and ran.

She ranis if she was being chased by wolves. She had to get to Peter and she would be damned if she let anything happened him now that she was there.

After what seemed like forever she finally made it to the top of the building and she burst through the room access door and skidded to a halt. She had come face to face with Walter.

"Hello Olive. It's nice to see you again."

She saw Peter's head hanging as if he was unconcious and her anger boiled. Turning towards Walter the smirk on his face unleashed a violence in her that she never thought she as capable of.

I hope this is still keeping you all interested…please let know what you think.
