Time for secrets to be revealed! At least for those who don't know who the Mystery Lady is... You should know by now.

Disclaimer: I don't own any version of Bioshock. Not even the version I'm creating in my basement!

David: Wait what?

Me: NOTHING!

I have no idea how long I was out and frankly I didn't really care as I still felt the icy substance flowing through my veins making me as weak as I was the first day I was in the care of Itex, but the sound of metal clanking against metal catches my attention as well as the weight on my stomach while I struggle to open my eyes "It sounds like... a slim piece of sharpened metal inside of a lock... is someone lock picking a door or something around here?" I thought as I start to make progress on opening my eyes, and when I finally do open my eyes all I see a woman's bosom being emphasized by a white corset right in front of my face causing my face to heat up despite the substance flowing there the most "Well not the worst way to be greeted when you wake up but certainly awkward." My thoughts were dispelled by the sound of feminine voice muttering "Almost...got it...come on..." Averting my eyes from the sight in front of me I look up to see that the Mystery Woman was the person on me as she tries to lock pick the device around my neck, so in regards of the idea of having this thing off of me I decide to remain quiet "And...there!" The woman exclaims as she makes one final adjustment which makes the collar beep once more before detaching itself from my neck -leaving being needle markings in my neck as well, and I was unable to contain my groan of relief before speaking "Thank you for getting this damn thing off of me." Apparently she didn't know I had awoken since she is startled by the sound of my voice and gets off me quickly which allows me to shakily get up myself, but unfortunately the freezing substance still that was injected is still in my veins and will have to be slowly worked out of my system "Are you ok?" I glance at the woman who saved my life before responding "Well I have some sort of substance in my veins that is making me almost as weak as an eight year-old that only plays video games, my worst enemies now know my general location and will undoubtedly send more people after me as well as you since you helped me and my vacation is ruined... yeah I'm ok." I was fully serious when I said that, but I could see how people might have taken that as sarcasm "I actually mean that." I added just in case she thought it was sarcasm before trying to take a step forward only to nearly collapse due to how weak I was "Damn it..." I seethed quietly knowing that at any moment more enemies could be here, and even though she managed to save me I was kinda skeptical about how long she could keep it up if under constantly increasing pressure.

"We need to get moving." I tell her in hopes that she would just comply, but those hopes got quickly dashed by the sound of heels hurrying over to me "We can't leave. Your in no state to be going anywhere." She told me in a voice that offered no compromise that seemed all to familiar to my ears "That sounded a lot like something Aura would say to me..." The fond thoughts distracted me into silence for too long as the woman took it as a sign of relenting before putting my right arm over her shoulders in order to help carry my weight, and this action sparks my pride "I don't require help." I tell her with a cold voice that would frighten almost everyone, but to my surprise she only raises an eyebrow -one of my favorite facial expressions- at my statement before replying in a bored tone "Oh really? Then by all means walk yourself. I'll be heading to the room." With that said she lets go of my arm and walks forward almost immediately causing me to drop onto my face by the lack of support, but the sound of her footsteps just get harder to hear as she continues on her way without even pausing "What happened to the kind and caring girl I met at the cafe?" I wondered briefly before trying to get up only to fall back down in a pained groan, but since the woman was most likely back into the room by now I just continued to try to get at least onto my knees for at least five minutes; However, after the five minutes I collapsed back onto my face panting from the amount of energy I exerted in my attempts before I heard the woman's voice directly in front of me "So you just relaxing there before getting to the room all by yourself?" The sarcastic remark was only met by my own sarcastic remark "Oh yes. It's a very nice carpet to relax on. I think they should make beds out of this stuff then sell it to the people! It'll make millions." My remark ended in a dry voice making a slight pause of silence before the lady stated "Well then I hope to meet you in the room soon."

Once again I heard her heels making dull thuds against the carpet as she started to walk away once more "Wait! Just wait a second..." I called to her best I can causing her to pause before coming back to my face down body "Yes? You want to say something?" Her voice sounded rather expectant and I had to suppress an irritated growl from escaping my throat since I don't take that kinda tone from anyone except my girlfriend, but I composed myself while swallowing my pride "Can you...help me to the room?" Instead of the request being met with more sarcastic comments or jabs at my pride -like I expected- she merely got down on one knee and wrapped my arm around her shoulders again before helping me up "Come on now. I can't do this alone." She stated as I finally managed to get to my feet with her help before we both work our way to the room slowly "...Thank you for saving me from Ari, but I believe you just made yourself a target of Itex...they'll be interested in what your abilities are now." I inform her as we manage to get into the room, but she seems to shrug that off "That's not important at the moment and let me do the worrying for now." She replies as she lays me down on the soft welcoming mattress of the nearby bed "...They'll hunt you down just like how they hunt me down..." I say softly to her as my body relaxes into the comforting sensation of an actual bed, but once again she seems to wave it aside "Just focus on resting for the time being." She says while another one of those portals are opened causing my eyes to snap to it as on the nearby table a First-Aid kit is now seen "What on earth..." I mutter as she gets the kit before closing the portal making me blink in confusion "What...what was that?" I inquire with my curiosity now peaked, and she pauses before continuing to get out supplies to help my wounds "It was a Tear." She curtly said as she moved over to my side "A Tear? What is a Tea-" My question was cut off by her hand gripping my nose and jerking it back into it's normal position with a loud crack making my scream in pain after a few moments.

"It was just a question!" I exclaim in a nasally voice while clutching my throbbing nose, but the woman merely continues on like nothing happened before finally answering the question a few minutes later "Tears are openings in the Space-Time continuum that can be used like a walkway between realities, timelines or universes. With them I can make objects appear like trees, buildings, weapons, even people. I can also modify Space and Time as well... Most people wouldn't be able to grasp the severity of this ability but," She turns and looks into my eyes with a understanding that most likely exceeds her years before finishing "I believe you do." My memories instantly take me to every time I contemplated about the extent of my powers over reality- which happens far more then I would like to admit "The ability to do anything, change everything, create anything and erase everything...where should the line be drawn of what I should do with it or what I shouldn't do with it? A single person having this power... it's too much for one person to handle!" I look up at her and slowly nod "I think I do..." I say softly before groaning as I try to sit up, and I feel a gentle hand on my chest putting a small amount of pressure on that area "Just lay back for now." She says in a soothing voice, but I shake my head as I manage to sit up "N-not yet... I understand that it's no coincident that you found me at that moment in the cafe... and obviously you have your own plans that involve me in one way or another, and-while I won't ask what they are- can you at least grant me your name?" I ask her while looking directly into her eyes wanting to see if she will meet my gaze or turn away.

She kept her gaze steady on mine before smiling slightly "My name is... Elizabeth. Elizabeth Dewitt." I cant help but smile at the slight achievement of learning her name while offering my hand "Well it is a pleasure to meet you Elizabeth Dewitt." I tell her with my hand extended making her laugh a little before taking my hand and shaking it as if we just met "The pleasure is all mine Mr. Graves." She replies in kind before laughing again "Now that the introductions are out of the way can I finish treating your injuries?" She asks while getting the First-aid Kit again, and I don't reply knowing full well that she would do it even if I said no.

About ten minutes later my nose is plastered to keep it from breaking again, my neck is covered in peroxide to clean out the holes the needles left behind and my ribs where checked to see if they were broken, and luckily for me they weren't "Now that my check-up is done why don't I continue my story?" I suggest to Elizabeth which makes her smile and nod "Not much else that we can do at this point is there?" She replies while putting the supplies away "Isn't that the truth..." I mumble before clearing my throat as I start up the story once more "Let's see... Ah yes I remember. We were heading back up the stairs when the Doctor's voice rings out from the Short Range Radio..."

-Rewind Four Years-

David was painfully making his way up the stairs while every other step jolted his injured wing rather painfully when Dr. T's voice comes from the Radio he just put in his pocket making him inwardly groan "David? David are you there?" The thirteen year-old entertains the idea of smashing the radio and finding a way to heal himself before leaving this lunatic-infested underwater city, but his mind instantly reminds him of the children down here forcing the idea out before it could happen; Consequently, this means he got the radio out and replied "Yes Dr. T I'm here. What do you want?" His weary voice must not have had an effect on the woman as she instantly replies "Oh good your alive. Remember those little ones that I sent to aid the person in Ryan's office? Well they have managed to save him from the office exploding and now I need you to meet up with them in Olympus Heights so you can examine him and make sure he is alright before bringing him here." The Aviation Hybrid sighs before saying "Alright. I'll get it done. See you later I guess..." He puts the radio away before turning and making my way back to the Bathysphere while gaining confused looks -assuming a Big Daddy can get confused looks- from Annie and her personal Mr. B "Where are you going Mr. Angel?" The child asks in a cutely innocent manner as I kneel down to her height "I need to go help some other people Annie. Now remember stick close to Mr. B and he will not let a single thing harm you. I'll see you later ok?" He tells her in order to reassure her, and she smiles in some form of understanding "Bye Mr. Angel! " She leaps up as she says that and hugs him around his neck making him pause temporarily before hugging back "Bye Annie...stay safe." The Pre-teen mutters to her which makes her nod again before her red stripped Big Daddy steps forward to take her, and I nod to the creature before parting from her and handing her to the Metallic Protector.

With the good-byes completed David continues his way to the Bathysphere before entering the confiding metal sphere, and he takes the chance to check on his wing "Time to see just how bad this is." He mutters to himself as he looks, but the moment he sees his wing he nearly pukes "Oh god that's bad..." He thinks as he looks at the partially black wing that has feathers stuck to each other from the blood that is matting down the feather and is also dripping down from the tip of his wing which is pointed directly down in a ninety degree angle, but even worse is that it isn't stuck in that angle it is swaying like only the flesh of the wing is keeping it attached -which very well might be true "Oh god...Oh God Oh God...m-my wing is screwed up! I don't think it can be healed from this state!" The former experiment soon is lost in his own panicked thoughts, but a voice coming from his pocketed Radio allows him to focus on something else "David are you on your way?" The Doctor inquires causing him to pick up the radio and answer "U-uh not yet... I have a situation..." He admits before getting a reply "What kind of situation?" The voice of Dr. T seemed to be worried as well as concerned causing the thirteen year-old to pause for a moment before answering "Well... my wing was injured greatly when I was trying to get to Annie and...it looks like it is only hanging on by the skin of the wing alone." There was a silence coming from the radio for a little bit as the Doctor must have been contemplating what to do " That sounds serious. Alright listen to me, back in Fort Frolic is multiple Vita-Chambers that could heal this injury. I believe the closest one is behind the main stair case of the Atrium." The information allows me to visualize the path in my mind "That isn't too far away... I can go there before heading to Olympus Heights." With those thoughts motivating him David carefully gets out of the Bathysphere while saying "Thanks Dr. T. I'll head over there then return to get to my destination." He informs her before pocketing the radio once more.

Heading up the stairs once more was a painful experience for the Aviation Hybrid since his swaying wing is constantly getting jolted and smacking into the stairs "Can't freaking wait for the Vita Chamber..." He thinks as he reaches the top of the stairs before starting his way down the corridor that leads to the entrance of the Atrium while keeping an eye out for any splicers that could jump out from around corners, but his main problem turns out to be the fact that the entrances are sealed shut by thick steel doors that look reinforced be more steel "Fantastic..." He mutters to himself before rapping his knuckle against the barrier to see how hard it is "No immediate echo... solid steel and no hollow section in between one end and the other. Yep can't break this down." The Aviation Hybrid growls in frustration before crossing his arms and tilting his head downward while closing his eyes in a thinking stance, and after a few minutes an idea comes to the forefront of his mind that seems to merit some consideration "I wonder if it would work." He states out loud before lighting his right hand a flame with the Incinerate 2 Plasmid causing the partially blue heat radiates off his hands while his now burnt finger tips glow very bright white, and he focuses the heat onto his pointer finger causing it to become even more heated while glowing much brighter "Here goes nothing..." David thinks before pressing his finger against the metal causing the metal to sizzle as the intense heat hits it, and amazingly enough he could move his finger forward through the metal as it melted from the heat which makes him laugh "I can't believe it worked!" The thirteen year-old continues to laugh as he moves his finger down making the metal melt in the path of his finger before he gets to the floor then he retraces back to the point where he started and started to go up in a rounded path "This is rather easy." He thought as he starts going down again until he reaches the floor before he steps backward and lashes out with a front kick knocking the section that was separated from the main barrier down into the Atrium with a rather loud clang.

Wincing from the sound, the former experiment cautiously walks into the the rather open area that offered little to no cover from any gun fire except for the bodies dried in cement, the few pillars holding the second floor up from the first and obviously the stairs themselves, but luck seemed to be on his side as David makes his way past the directory to behind the stairs making him sigh in relief as he sees the chamber full of the light green energy that reminds him an awful lot of electricity "Healing Electricity." He thinks as he looks around once more before opening the chamber and awkwardly getting inside then closing the sliding door. The very instant he does that the energy gathers around his face and right wing as they get to work healing the wounds he has, and at first there was only a slight discomfort as the cuts and bruises from doing a sliding face plant gets mended while the skin cells are repaired; However, when the mending on his wing really gets started it was an instantly sharp and continual pain that makes the boy scream in pain as the bones were put back into their right positions, the muscles were reconnected and the veins forced together once more, but that was only the beginning as now all mentioned where being mended together by the energy in the chamber while the fractures along the hollow bones were being fused back together into solid structures again. The healing may have last five to six minutes at most, but to the hybrid it felt like eternity several times over during those few minutes.

Nonetheless, he endured the pain as his wing was healed by the chamber's energy before the pain finally went away as quickly as it came leaving behind a dull ache in his right wing, but as he steps out of the chamber and tests the wing by flapping it he deemed that it was worth it "Now onward to Olympus Heights!" David mentally announces before making his way out of the Atrium while unknown to him his departure is watched by the Rapture artist Sander Cohen who softly says "Good luck child... you'll need it." The Gruesome Artist turns and walks to the Theater to prepare for his next work of art.

So...this chapter is mainly about Elizabeth and David recovering from the Eraser attack while also setting up the scene for the next chapter. So how many people saw the Elizabeth thing coming? Everyone? Good you should have. Anyways Please review and tune into the next chapter! See ya later!
