The Dream Team and the Battle For Salvation
Warnings: this chapter is going to be in three parts, this is prior to their meeting, the next is the meeting and the last is going to be their encounter with Freddy, the size of the story is going to be close to 130 to 225 chapters, because it's covering five movies and the time lapse between the Dream Child and Freddy's Dead and another four year lapse between Freddy's Dead and Freddy Vs. Jason, which is where things shift again.
Though the same characters are in that movie, the person running the ward and quarantine is Neil and the Elm Street gang, as their new comers enter the story and the opening lines Freddy gave in that movie, the sequence is going to follow the same patterns as the rest of the movies, but it's going to result in going in a new direction, after they lose two more people that night at the party at the farm, when Jason goes on a rampage there.
This is the last portion to his memories, before the quartet hear from her and the next chapter covers her conversation with her mother, before the Dream Master begins as the rest of their gang makes an appearance. But from here the movie verse becomes the alternate reality as the situation changes course that night during their family meeting as they all see him as things begin that night.

Chapter 37: Preparations and Family Meetings
After going over what happened that morning and her talk with her daughter, Elaine read through what was really going through her mind then and knew that if this started again and something happened to the rest of their family, Kristen was going to relapse, only this time the damage was going to be permanent. 'Krueger I swear, if you come near my daughter again I'm going to kill you.' she growled as she got in her car and headed for the department to see her brother.
After getting there she headed to the front desk, and found Derek Garcia standing there. "Elaine what are you doing here?" he asked and she sighed. "Is Donald in, I need to see him, and it's urgent?" she asked and he nodded. "Thanks, look I'll tell you what's going on later, but this is family business right now." she said and he nodded and she headed to Donald's office and found him working on a couple of reports. "Hey Donald." she said to him and he looked at her with a smile.
"Hey, what's up?" he asked and she sighed. " Our previous situation is about to start again." she said and he felt his heart pounding at that as he got up and closed the door to his office."What happened last night?" he asked and she went into it. "There was another dream about that house and the boiler room, so this means we're looking at another repeat here." she told him and he nodded.
"Damn it, she was just beginning to get over this, alright where are they meeting tonight anyway?" he asked and she went into that. "After school today at Neil's house, but with the fact that we all get off around five, they'll be meeting up at close to six, and we better let the others know about this, because they are going to be pissed when they hear this, especially the Kincaids and Petersons, with our families being a quartet."
"I'm pretty sure this means he's about to resurface and if that's the case, we're about to activate that warning she gave to Simms and Carver, it's time to activate our plans if this means time for the next battle to start here and if it is, we've got a lot of work to do." she said and he nodded as he thought over what Nancy told him over the last two years on that as he felt his anger shoot through him then.
"Nancy said that Simms is still doing what she did to the kids, keeping those sessions going in circles over extended use of the isolation room, and over exposure to the sedatives, she's been giving Nancy a hard time after the repeated warnings she and Neil have given her over this, and both she and Neil are getting sick of it, and so are five of the guys, Adams and Jenkins, though Neil has adjusted things for the kids Simms and Carver are still keeping up her own protocols, if tonight's the night the plug is getting pulled."
"It's time to put an end to it." he said and she nodded in agreement to that opinion as they started making phone call after phone call to get the rest of their family involved and let them know about the family meeting that night, while at the same time hoping nothing happened, because they were going to do whatever it took to keep from losing their kids and deal with the two doctors who had put her in that condition.
"With the fact she's been up for a while I know she's still dealing with stage two and if this keeps up she's going to get into a fight with someone who either doesn't know about us and Krueger or is making stupid stories and if that happens she could get into a fist-fight, so we need to end that now." he added and she nodded in agreement to that statement as they made their plans to meet up with their family that night and he got ready to activate that warning for the doctors who had done so much damage to his niece, who he loved like a daughter.
"I caught her with a cup of coffee this morning and the cats were sitting on the counter when she was doing her homework as well." she said and he nodded. "Anything else?" he asked and she nodded. "Yeah she has a cut on here that wasn't there yesterday, all the signs of sleep deprivation are beginning to show themselves again here." she said and he nodded. "If we get confirmation and he kills someone else she's staying home for the next few weeks to recover here from this." he said and she nodded in agreement to that.
Barely five minutes later they heard another knock on the door and he went to get it and found the rest of their quartet there. "Guys" he said and they gave a quick nod as they went into his office so they could talk. "Alright what is going on" James Kincaid asked and he sighed. "The dreams about the house started again, and the latest one caused a pipe to explode and she got hit with a bit of shrapnel in there last night, we're looking at a repeat here." Elaine said and they nodded with a furious look as Jared said it for them.
"God damn it, she's just beginning to get over this, Jack and Rob are going to be pissed when they hear this, we've got to find John, Derek, Peter and the girls and get them over here so we can deal with this, and we need to tell the whole family because if this keeps up she's going to have another relapse." Jared said grimly and James looked at him.
"How are we going to find them, John is going to be pissed when he get the truth and so will Peter and Derek, Derek is going to kill him a second time when he hears that the bastard tried to rape Tina that night before he killed her and with the fact that he's now using that glove to kill them, if one of the guys goes after him and does something stupid they could get killed and it could do more emotional damage then the situation has already, we need to take it slow here tonight and I know Erin is going to say that." James said to him and he nodded in agreement.
"Just when she starts to heal this happens, Terry said she's been finding excess wrappers and Coke cans in her garbage can again, she's so worn out that the cat is now sleeping on the bed with her, if he comes back tonight, I'm yanking her out of school so she's able to heal here." she said and they nodded in agreement as they ended their conversation.
Westin Hills:
After what happened the night before, Neil started thinking over how he was going deal with this as he watched as Simms kept trying to redirect things in the group with the latest group of patients he had and knew they were all getting irritated as well as frustrated at the fact she wasn't listening whatsoever to what they were saying, as he watched this he was feeling his anger rising in the process.
After two years worth of warnings from both him and Nancy over doing this, she kept it going and Carver hadn't take his warnings seriously as well and had reactivated the protocols Kristen had deactivated while she was there and he had had enough of this as he locked gazes with Nancy and she nodded to him and he decided to end the session.
Fortunately everything he decided on was working, but not enough, because Simms was destroying the progress he was making with his patients and his latest group had been trapped for five months by that point. 'God I hope tonight is the night, if it is, she's gone for good and I can get some real progress done with these kids.' he thought as he decided to end things then as he gave a gentle smile to his thirteen year old group.
"Alright everyone, session is over we can pick it up in the morning." he said to his patients and they nodded as they left the room as he ignored Simms who also left the room and they headed for his office, closed the door and he turned to Nancy. "Alright, enough of this crap, with the fact we're looking at a repeater, time to activate that warning, we need to get Adams and the guys in here so we can talk about this." he said as he grabbed the phone and five minutes later the five who knew about this came into the room and he closed the door.
"What is it Neil?" Jane Adams asked him and he went into it. "She had another dream about that blasted house, and it looks like we have another repeater about to start here." he said and Max Johnson felt his anger rising at that information. "He comes back now and this is going to start all over again, alright I'm staying on watch in case it something happens here in the ward." he said and Eric Sanderson looked at him.
"I swear to god if he goes after her I'm going to kill him, she is just beginning to get over this." he said and Max gave a nod of agreement to that opinion. "Where are you meeting at Doc?" he asked and Neil went into that. "The meetings at my house at six, if there is a problem tonight call me, because we could be looking at a repeat, and if I'm right it means the duo are getting taken down finally here." he said and they nodded.
"If there's any more trouble she's going to use that as a reason to throw one of the kids in detention, before one of us raises the damn alarm tonight." Derek Richards said to him. "Alright, once the alarm goes off, get whoever wound up in detention out of detention and hit them with the neutralizer to kill the sedative automatically okay." he said and they nodded to that. "I'll call you if I get the message doc." Max told him and he nodded to him and he nodded to end the meeting as things settled then.
After the meeting he went to check on his youngest of the group. "Hey you okay son?" he asked and Damian Carter looked at him. "Yeah doctor I'm alright, but she's really beginning to get to me with all this weakness stuff on the nightmares, and frankly I'm getting sick of it." he said to him and he nodded. "Don't worry it's coming to an end pretty soon, so what are you up to buddy?" he asked with a playful smile as he aimed for his side and Damian started giggling as he started lightly tickling him. "Nothing really." he said as he tried to keep from laughing as Neil smiled.
"Somehow I don't believe that kid, come on what's going on?" he asked and then went for his stomach and he started laughing. "Alright, I'm working on a drawing at the moment, nothing big I swear, I give up." he said laughing as he fell backwards on to the bed as Neil kept it up while thinking gently as he looked at him and thinking of the rest of his group, his mate, daughter and his nephews and he thought of how he was going to protect them and do what was needed to do it, from both Krueger and the two idiots who hurt them.
'I love these kids, and if this starts again I'm going to do what I have to-to protect them.' he thought to himself, 'No not again, help.' Damian thought laughing as he tried to get free from him as he looked at him playfully then as he tickled him. "You, buddy, just got caught here, get smart with me and this happens again, okay." he said with a smile as he aimed for his weak-spot and Damian lost it completely. "Yeah I promise I won't, I promise, I give up, I give up." he said laughing as Neil ended it gently.
"See you later kiddo." he said gently and Damian nodded with a smile as Neil gave him a hug and he tightened his grip on him. 'Out of all my therapists, he's my favorite and I love him, I don't know what it is, but if something happens I'll never heal I can't lose him, he's like my father now.' Damian thought to himself.
After school ended for the day the eight of them met up and went to dinner at the Crave Inn. "How serious do you think this is going to get tonight?" Dan asked and Joey answered that. "Our parents are still worried about her, because of that. Doctor Gordon had raised the dose of the dream suppressant he had us on from 15 to 20mg's, since we came home and with the way it's looking we're going to have to raise that dose again." he said and they both nodded as Sheila came to join them.
"Who's Doctor Gordon?" she asked and Kristen answered that. "His name is Neil Gordon and he's my adoptive father as well as our psychiatrist, and you'll be meeting him tonight, though Rick has already." she said with a smile as she looked at him and he smiled back at her. "I take it he gave you a hard time?" Dan asked with a smile and he nodded. "Yeah and so did her godfather and her uncles. I didn't think they'd get that overly protective of her." he said and Kristen started laughing as she answered that.
"I'm the youngest member of our original gang and the trio as well as the quartet still see me as that little girl I was before our separation. With their line of thinking I'm not going to change that image in their memories, so don't tick them off." she said and he nodded as her brothers started laughing at that. "They still see you as that preschooler you were before you separated?" Dan repeated and she nodded with a sigh. "We hadn't seen each other in years, to them as well as my aunts I'm still that little girl, and the amount of damage he inflicted on me made them overly protective, so they still see me that way, so watch out."
"The five I'm closest to are their fathers, my godfather and Jack Stanton and Rob Caulfield, they are the fathers of my brother and sister, Jenny and Will, Uncle Damian and Uncle Elliot were right behind the five of them, and the last three were my older brothers and sisters fathers, and their names are Derek Grey, John Lane and Peter Lantz." she explained and he nodded.
"What are your aunts names?" he asked and she smiled as she went into that as Alice, Debbie and Sheila came to join them. "Claire, Wendy, Mary, Erin, Amy, Sarah, Diane, and then their mothers are named Sally and Anna, Anna is Kin's mother, Joey's is Sally and the last was named Marge and she was Nancy's mother. My parental quartet consisted of my godfather and their fathers, the reason being is Sally is my godmother, and I'm closest to them out of the entire gang, though I'm close to the duos fathers."
"Our parents had been friends since they were twelve, and became a gang at that age, so they had been friends for thirty five years now, and with the fact that you guys now know the truth their gang got even bigger now with the fact that your parents are going to hear about this, since my father is now apart of it, and so is our friend who works in the hospital and a couple members of his staff already know about this." she said and he nodded.
"Who's married to who anyway?" he asked and she went into that. "Wendy is married to Rob, Erin is married to Jack, Anna is married to James, Sally to Jared, Claire to Elliot, Mary to Damian, Diane is or was married to John, Sarah to Derek, and Amy to Peter and Marge is married to my godfather, but that totaled to twenty two people and with seven members of our sibling gang gone, they are all going to want to kill him a second time here and when your parents hear this and the reason for why I was in the condition I was in and why it happened in the first place, they are going to kill Simms and Carver for this and what happened there in the first place." she said.
"Shei, did Uncle Bill tell you about that much, since we became friends?" she asked her and Sheila shook her head. "No, but he did mention that you told him where his missing felon was, where'd you learn that from?" she asked her and she smiled. " Mom taught me everything about that, which explains the warning I gave Simms and Carver, before we got released two months after the aftermath started." she said and Rick looked at her.
"Simms and Carver, are they the ones who killed your brothers and sisters?" Rick asked and she nodded. "What are their full names anyway, because when dad and Uncle Darrel hear this they are going to need to know everything?" he asked and she went into that.
"Simms is Dr. Elizabeth Simms and Carver is Dr. Eric Carver, and without bothering to give Nancy or my father a chance to explain things fired them and the result finally triggered the relapse that they and Max were worried about because this breached the orders my doctor gave them in terms of my condition." she said and he nodded.
"How serious was the drain in your strength?" Dan asked her and Joey answered that one with a furious look on his face as he exchanged looks with the rest of his trio."When she got there she was at half strength, because she had been up for six months, was suffering from a severe case of anemia and was also suffering from blood loss because her blood iron levels were dangerously depleted, but our bond.
"After spending close to 27 hours with us the link between us had boosted it to 70 percent, but after two all nighters it drained her back down to fifty and after one last night of rest Simms finally drained her down the last quarter, because she lied and manipulated the truth to Carver getting our sister and her father out of the ward and fired and then started making excuses for it and she lost her temper and then Simms orders our friend to sedate and that triggered the panic attack which finally triggered the relapse." he said and Rick nodded gently to that.
"You got that report on that, because dad and Darrel are going to need to know this, honey?" he asked and she nodded as she passed it to him and he read it and felt his anger rising as he read through it. "I'm definitely going to take them apart for this, and if I see that parasite he is going to get his ass kicked for trying to hurt you baby." he said with a growl and she sighed as she answered him then.
"Uncle Bill said the same thing when we told him the truth, and he's as furious as you and Dan are at this, we knew the minute you got involved that your folks would as well and with that Rodriguez has the anger of sixty sets of parents on his head." she told him and he nodded. "Okay so that's one reason your father doesn't mind about us being with them, but dad is not going to take it well when he finds out." Alice said and she nodded.
"Well the same is said for Krueger, dad gave me a small bit of information on the bastard and what he did to you, but I didn't realize that's where you got that scar from on your arm and shoulder Kris." Sheila said to her and she nodded. "You may have gotten a small part of it, but you're going to get a crash course later when we do a full family conference over this Shei." Kristen said and Rick interjected that as he answered her.
"Well considering the amount of damage he inflicted on you dad is going to kill them both when he hears about this, because what they did is illegal no matter how you dress it up." Rick said to her and she nodded in agreement to that statement. "She said the same thing when she gave Carver that warning, and when your parents hear this they are going to kill them both and throw them in jail for life here, Rick what does your father do for a living anyway?" Joey asked and he smiled as he went into that.
"Dad is lawyer and with that, with the fact we're soul mates he's going to kill them for nearly killing his daughter-in-law here, and keep the pranks under control tonight, or we're both busted." he said to the duo playfully and as Kincaid answered that with throwing a paper ball at him, she looked at them with a warning look then.
"Watch it guys, you remember what happens when you make me angry." she added with an evil smile to them and they backed up as the girls, Joey and Dan started laughing at that. "What happened to cause that reaction?" Alice asked, after she and Debbie arrived at the table after getting off duty just then.
"I get my temper from my mother, and the last time they saw it on full blast was when I was getting our sister and my father back into their jobs at the hospital, prior to that we got into a pillow fight and Kincaid was the one who triggered it and it resulted in fifteen pillows being thrown out of the room and several cases of 'ask a stupid question/get a stupid answer' after I hit him with mine repeatedly to get him to back off so I could end it." she said and they started laughing at that.
"Was that just after you guys got back together?" Rick asked and she nodded. "Our bond was falling back into place by that point, and we had gotten into several paper ball, water and pillow fights that day, and our bonds as a gang had fallen back into place by then." she said and he nodded with a smile as Alice and Debbie took their seats and they went into this.
"Considering what went on today in school, dad is not going to take it well and neither is my godfather, so don't be surprised if one of them blows up while we are going over this." she said and they nodded as they had a quick dinner and then headed over to Neil's house and met up with Nancy at the front door of her father's house, it had been a couple years, but she had her own room and spent several weekends with him, since he adopted her and she looked forward to spending the weekend with him as well as her godfather and the rest of their family.
"Hey Nancy" Kristen said and she turned and smiled at the new comers. "Hey guys, so what are your friends doing here?" she asked and Kristen sighed as she answered. "They wanted to know more about our connection and I got some information from my mother this morning that will come in handy and will answer a few questions today." she said and she nodded as they went into the house and Neil met up with them in the hallway as he pulled Kristen into a hug and she smiled as she looked at her father. "Hey guys, well let's get started." he said and they headed into the living room. "What did your mother tell you this morning Kristen?" Nancy asked and she took a breath, knowing her big sister was going to get a shock when she heard this.
"That connection between us wasn't just a once in a lifetime fluke, you, Tina, Rod and Glen treated us like we were really your brothers and sisters when we were babies. Our parents had been friends for years from the time they were our age, and they chose to move on to the same street so we could grow up together, after he started killing the kids in our neighborhood, your father started a car pool program to get us to and from school every day without running into him, and when he got off on that technicality our parents were furious over it and decided to take care of it themselves, after they did that our families separated from the block and tried to keep it hidden from us."
"After Tina and the guys were killed, our powers went dormant, and our memories were suppressed of when we knew you and the others since we had been to young to remember anything, which is the reason for why we didn't remember each other even though the feelings of the sibling bond we had were still there, which explains things between me and the guys."
"After you met us at the hospital, that kick started things and our bond re-established itself, you didn't remember who we were because it had been years since you had seen us, but mom said she realized who you were when you gave her your sur-name, and what had happened, and the last time you had seen the seven of us was when we were four years old, and you are six years older than us, so with that, it was more than a normal bond for all of us which explains what happened before we lost Will and Taryn, and going by what mom had said I was closest to you when we were little." she said and Nancy nodded as she got it and looked at Neil before the door-bell went off.
"I didn't call for a pizza, what's going on here?" he asked and he went to get it as all eight teenagers looked at each other as they waited to find out who had shown up this time. "I get the feeling mom probably went to see Uncle Donald over this." Kristen said and Nancy nodded in agreement as they waited to see if they were right about that. After getting to the front door he found his father-in-law and the other parents on the front walk.
"Hey Neil" Donald said to him and he smiled as he lead them into the living room and their kids all looked up at them as Kristen stood up. "Mom, what's up and what are the others doing here?" she asked and Elaine smiled. "You remember when we were discussing thing this morning, well do to that talk we had this morning, I went to tell the others members of our family what was going on and we decided to come and help out with this." she explained as they all took a seat. "What happened last night to get this started in the first place?" Donald asked her and Kristen turned to him.
"I wound up in front of his house again when I was dreaming and that indicator song started up, just as I was trying to get it under control, I noticed that his boiler room started heating up before I called the others and one of the pipes that was frozen before blew up." she said and they nodded.
"As if dealing with him once already wasn't bad enough, I feel like I'm dealing with a parasite who doesn't know when to quit after winding up in jail one too many times, because this is the fifth time in thirteen years and I getting sick of the bastard." he said and she couldn't keep from laughing as she nodded at that one. "I take it that's how you see him after the amount of times he came back right?" Dan asked and they all nodded in answer to that question.
"Krueger was one of the guys I arrested when you were three son, my original decision was destroying his equipment and wait for him to try it again and I'd be the one to arrest him this time, but her father decided on torching him and then separating, which is the reason she threw him out of her life, she's chosen us and you and your gang." he said and Rick answered that one. "He destroyed her out of revenge, who's the catalyst for that blood bath three years ago?" he asked with a growl and Elaine answered that with a sigh as she knew he wasn't going to take it well.
"Her cousin was the last of three that died before we took him out, he lost his mind out of grief, flipped out and nothing we said was going to change his mind, Krueger was winding up dead either way, we decided if he came back for her and was beyond loaded we were having him committed for this and the drinking." she said and he nodded. "Mrs. Parker, she's my everything, if you need me here, I'm not going anywhere." he said and she nodded smiling.
"I knew you were the right one when I saw you honey, take care of my baby." she said and he nodded. "I will mom, you have my word." he said and she smiled at the title. "Alright Kris, what were the indicators he was about to resurface if they've had you looking like you did the last month and if you were getting aggravated and why did you need to bring up your ability if they were that worried?" he asked and she explained that to him, knowing he'd be pissed at this.
"In the case of this the indicator is usually the boiler heating up followed by that song, and after seeing both of those I was about to sound the alarm before the whistle went off just as I was about to call them." she said and he nodded as Debbie looked at her, not knowing why her sister was worried about it. "To answer the second question, what was left of the six lost a third during the final outbreak then and resulted in these scars on my arm, as for this latest one I wound up in the cross fire when one the pipes exploded." she said and he nodded as Dan went into it.
"I saw a bandage on your arm this morning what the hell caused that?" Dan asked and she went into that. "In these dreams everything that happens is real, so say you got hit with something the injury shows up in the same place from where you got hit in there, and to answer that question, one of the pipes that blew sent a piece of shrapnel flying in our direction and we hit the deck, but I got slashed in the arm, and dad was already furious enough that he lost five patient and nearly us with them, he's ready to kill him a second time for it." she explained and he nodded with a furious look on his face. "If what I'm hearing is anything to go by a practical demonstration would be a help here, and is there a reason for why the theme is always fire here?" Sheila asked and she nodded as Debbie leaned forward at this.
"He got possessed by a trio of demons, and demons are known for the infernal regions and secondly it was fire that caused this in the first place, so being set on fire again is enough to scare the hell out of him, and secondly we're fighting a demon by using several things here, knowledge and God is on our side, the last encounter resulted in using the holy water to neutralize him, but whatever's causing him to bleed into my dreams, means something's about to neutralize the site and he's about to make a come back." she said and Sheila nodded to that.
" I don't understand, why exactly?" Debbie asked and Kristen looked at her. "His biggest fear is fire, which is understandable after the amount of times we've set him on fire, but to get back to it, the entire room was cold because he was neutralized for two years, and with it suddenly heating up it means that he is in the edge of coming back for a fourth time and we're about to have another showdown. He's a homicidal maniac with a talent for paranormal butchery and everyone in our family has had it with this, because seventy percent of the younger gang was killed by him over the last eight years." she said and Sheila nodded as she looked at the others.
"I haven't had those nightmares in two years, and with it suddenly coming up now it's about to start again, which explains the reason for this meeting, we decided on a domino effect and this this was the first of three dominos coming down tonight, and we knew if you got involved your parents would as well, and the family lawyer is probably the duo's father at this point." she added and the rest of her gang nodded as the adults looked at each other at that statement.
"Didn't you say he put you on a dream suppressant, is this what it was for to, block him out?" Debbie asked her and she nodded. "It was partly because of that and partly because I didn't want to remember what happened over there before my family was reunited with each other, and some how he's getting stronger to the point to where he can break through my control and now I have to deal with a doubled dose if he is coming back now." she said and her mate and brother and sisters nodded as her parents looked at each other as Sheila took over at that.
"What was the dose exactly, because if he's stirring up, he's bleeding through it, because whatever it is-is probably not enough right now, if he's now fighting to break through it?" Sheila asked and Erin answered that one. "We had it at ten, before over the last year and combined it with Valium to block out the nightmares completely." she said and she nodded. "Alright and the dose before that while she was in the hospital?" she asked and Neil answered that one.
"Fifteen of each." Neil said and she nodded. "Alright my guess is he can't get past a dose higher than ten, if that's the case, either double it or raise it to twenty or twenty five, and with the fact she's beyond worn out you're back on the combo, because at this rate she's going to put herself back in the hospital if this keeps up." She said to him and he nodded as James looked at her with a bemused look at this then.
"You planning on being a doctor kiddo, if you're going over her medication right now?" James asked and she nodded. "Yeah I took the advanced courses to get ready for college when I got into med school, after she filled me in at lunch I figured I better make this suggestion, before she passes out from exhaustion, the guys, Alice, Debbie and I've been worried about her ever since the nightmares started up again, and these all nighters are getting out of control, whatever put her in there to begin with just triggered a comeback if she doesn't get the rest she needs here." she said and they all nodded as Neil exchanged a silent conversation with his fellow medics and then looked at the trio to tell them what they decided then.
"Alright at this point if this keeps up I'm going to have raise that dose again to keep him out of your nightmares at this point guys." Neil said and they nodded. "Jesus, I swear if this keeps up he's going to pay for this. Alright, time to get back on topic here, Rick I said at lunch we'd tell you the whole thing, but first I need to get that information to my uncle before we do that." Kristen said and he nodded as they looked at each other and her brothers' parents exchanged looks at that statement.
"Kris didn't we already go over that today, take it easy before we go into this." Joey said and Elaine looked at them, wondering if this had to do with their conversation that morning, 'God this better not mean what I think it does, because if it is she's on the edge of another relapse and we have to keep that from happening before we deal with him.' she thought to herself as she looked at her daughter and the rest of her gang to ask about it.
"What happened at school guys?" she asked and Kristen answered that. "I nearly had another panic attack after they decided to come tonight, and frankly this couldn't have come at a worse time, because with Rick, Alice and the others involved it's making it even worse, and if he does go after them he's going to get his head ripped off." she said and Elaine, Donald and Neil all nodded as they looked at each other as Donald took over in trying to get her to calm down before she completely lost her temper, as he saw her rub her eyes and knew she was exhausted as he tried to calm her down gently.
'If she was up longer than two days, than this means she's on the verge of another physical relapse and we have to put an end to that before it happens, Rick I swear call at a time like this and you're a dead man, you come here and you're being arrested and committed for this.' he thought to himself as he looked at his sister, Neil, James and Jared and mouthed 'We need to go over this and quick, she's exhausted and is on the edge of an emotional breakdown here.' he said to them and they nodded as he rested his hand on her leg gently.
"Alright calm down honey, we need to figure out how strong he is getting to be doing this again." Donald said to her gently and she nodded in resignation as she looked at her godfather and uncles as they started as she leaned forward as Nancy rubbed her back to calm her down.
"I know this is getting to you sis, but's going to be alright." she said to her softly and Kristen looked at her. "The flash-backs started again, losing the others, and Aunt Marge was bad enough, I can't take another blow after nearly losing the five of you, the pain of what happened is trying to take hold again. Since I started having those nightmares I'm scared something is going to happen to you guys and I can't take another blow, because of that bastard." she said as the tears came into her eyes and Nancy pulled her into a hug as she looked at Elaine, Neil and her father mouthing 'we need to talk.' and they nodded as they felt their anger at that rising, knowing exactly what triggered this.
After Kristen relaxed, Nancy stood up and her father, Aunt and Neil went with her over to the corner and James, Jared, Anna and Sally went with them. "What's going on honey?" Elaine asked and she sighed. "They started again, with the rest of their gang now involved in this and the fact that we have the family in one piece again, if something happens to one or all of us, it's going to start all over again, we have to get rid of this bastard once and for all." she said and Donald felt his anger rising at that information.
"Guys did she tell you how long she's been up over the last few days?" Neil asked the duo and Joey nodded with a sigh. "She hasn't slept in two weeks because of those dreams and it's getting out of control, she came close to smacking Reynolds in the face this morning when he went after Sheila and if this keeps up it's going to get even worse." he said and James turned to Nancy to get the rest of it.
"How serious is this getting right now?" James asked her and she sighed. "She's two inches away from getting into a fist fight with someone, because of this, her anxieties over this are so bad she's ready to break down emotionally and physically she on the edge of breaking something or getting into a fight with someone here." she said and he felt his concern rising at that information as Kincaid thought it over and then hid a smile as he made his plans as he felt his brother in his mind then along with his friend and brother-in-law who knew it was about to get interesting.
'What are you thinking here Kin?' Joey asked and he went into it. 'Our only option here is to pull an intervention, which also means we're going to have to use a few methods of our fooling around and run a setup in the case of our fathers to get it out of her like we did before.' he said and Nancy, overhearing this, looked at him in shock. "What are you thinking here, you can't just do that." she said to him and their parents looked at them then.
"Doc you remember that technique you pulled when she arrived?" he asked and Neil nodded as he realized what he was saying, "You want to do it again her case?" he asked and the duo nodded. "Yeah, exact same situation, but five times the secondary attack where your punishment for her and the duo were concerned." he said and Neil nodded to that. "Last time it was thanks to Richard, this time she's holding in two years worth of anger and she's beyond exhausted, but if this alleviates her anxiety it'll be worth it in getting her the rest she needs here."
"And if we don't do something now, she's finally going to break, and I'd rather not have her breaking before things switch to a real battle here." he said and she went into that. "Pulling interventions like this get really risky, one of our previous patients went off and it took me fifteen minute to get him to cool down, and with her in her current condition she's going to finally lose it, if 'he' does come back." she said and he turned to her to go into that.
"Nancy you didn't see how close she came to that suicide, I did and it was because she was so angry at Simms and Carver that the rest of the gang was dead and she broke a window and then tore the room apart, and I'm not having that happen again, we have to get it out of her now before it reaches the point of another emotional and physical relapse, she's been holding it in too long this is the only option." he said and she shook her head as she went into that.
"You want to get her into a pillow fight and then have our fathers deal with the rest, what happens if she realizes what you did, she would beat the crap out of you guys Kin, and it would take close to twenty minutes before she cools down." she said and Kincaid sighed as he went into that argument with her as he told her his concern.
"Do you have a better idea here, if this keeps up she's going to explode, our one option is defusing it by use of our fooling around and let our parents deal with the rest of it." he said and Donald turned to him as he got what he meant. "In other words you guys get into a pillow fight, one of us takes that blow and we deal with the rest by use of our personal punishment for you guys, it might work, but you are going to have to really push to get her to get that pillow thrown like you did last time and one of us is going to have to take that hit before we deal with it." he said to James and Jared as Rob and Jack moved over to them as well to go into it with the seven of them as he looked at him gently.
"Plan making here?" he asked and they nodded as James went into it. "We're going to have to get it out of her tonight, but it means one of us is going to have to take the hit when they start going at it." he said and they both nodded. "So they get into a pillow fight, one of us takes it and we deal with the rest through our method of punishment for them." he said and they all nodded.
"At the moment her emotions are on the edge of a total vocal explosion here and a possible altercation so to make sure that doesn't happen we're going to completely defuse it through our method of punishment for them and let her vent through a pillow fight till she gets it completely out of her, since she's also beyond exhausted, so this'll get it out of her and she finally get the rest she needs while she's still healing emotionally from all of this, but the idiot better not call at a time like this, because if he does I'm laying into him for that." James said the five men nodded in agreement to that as they looked at her on the couch talking to the girls as Erin looked at them and he mouthed 'Give us another five minutes here we have to go over something.' he said and she nodded to him as Jack and Rob turned to Neil then to ask.
"Did the interrogation work in the same way when Jared, James and Jack did it Neil?" he asked softly and Neil nodded. "It took just short of fifteen minutes to get it out of her, but the multiple attack worked in the same way, so one or all of you are going to have to go at her before we get the first part completely out of her and then let her vent through the pillow fight, because it worked when they went at it for five hours, though Daniel's using your techniques caused her to break and she admitted she was the one who threw it." he said and Jack nodded as Rob turned to look at James to ask then next question, knowing out of the gang he was still pissed at what caused that much pain and anger in her and he had to know how serious it really was.
"How serious is her exhaustion do to this James?" he asked and he went into that. "She hasn't slept in close to three weeks now and is so worn out that if this keeps up she could put herself back in the hospital for a physical relapse, we have to make sure that doesn't happen so our only option is getting her to let out her unexpressed anger from what happened at the hospital and drain it completely so, and after we do that, we let them go at it for a while and that'll drain it out of her completely. Neil's going to be upping the dose on their medication and it looks like we're back on that rest cocktail we set up for her, but this should give her the chance to get the rest she needs before something else happens." he said and Jack nodded.
"The rest cock-tail?" Rick repeated and Neil nodded. "If they told you about the nightmares, I had to do an equal dose of Hypnocil and Diazepam in the hospital to completely block out the dreams and memories, and made sure I prescribed the same cock-tail in pill form when they came home from the hospital, and I'm going to have to do it again to block him out permanently if we do have a repeat after this entire situation is over." Neil said and he nodded and Rob looked at the five of them to ask the next question to confirm what he was thinking.
"And that blasted house is the reason behind her not getting the rest she needs right now?" he asked and Nancy nodded. "Yeah like Uncle James said those nightmares have gone on for close to a month, and we have to put an end to it now, so we get rid of unexpressed anger and anxiety and then re-prescribe the rest cock-tail, and that should help her heal up, but if Richard comes back at a time like this, he's a dead man." she said and the six men nodded in agreement.
"Alright until we hit that point right now, act casual and don't let her know what we're getting ready to do here alright." Donald said and they nodded as they headed back to the couches and Erin looked at him to ask as she, Wendy and Claire moved over to him to ask. "What was that about Donald?" she asked him in a whisper and he turned to her to answer in the same fashion.
"We're pulling an intervention to get what's left of her anger out of her, so get ready because it's going to come up in the middle of this meeting, and try not to get suspicious, otherwise she's going to know something is up here, let the others know, but do it quietly, because the kids already do, so be ready for it when it come up." he said to her in a whisper and she nodded as he shifted his attention to Anna who got things started.
"Wait you mean the steps they used to deal with her anger at Rick, you're doing that a second time?" she asked and he nodded. "Yeah only five times the secondary attack and we let them go at it in a massive pillow fight till she's gets all of it out here, it worked then and it'll definitely work now, because she's been holding it in too long and we need to get her to get let go." Neil said and she nodded. "Alright do it, but the idiot better not call at a time like this, I'm not having her screwed around with mentally and emotionally and not today of all days either." she said and the ten nodded in agreement to that remark as she refocused and said her thoughts aloud.
"Great, exactly how many times do we have to kill this guy, and it's worse now as well for you guys?" Erin asked as Kincaid turned to her and asked why they didn't know about this information sooner, and gave a yes nod in response to that as he looked at them, but before he could say anything Kristen went into it.
"I don't know how he pushed past my control, because I've been taking it every night, but he has, and its reached the point to where I'm now winding up in the boiler room, last night during that dream, all the pipes in the boiler room started heating up and several of them reached the point to where they blew and I got hit with a bit of shrapnel in the process, like I said." she said and Erin and Anna nodded.
"You got hit?" Elliot repeated and she nodded. "Yeah, if there is guess here, I think this just confirmed we got another showdown coming up, and this was the first indication of it." she said and he nodded as Jared looked at her at that as he tried to figure it out and looked at her arm to get a better look at it since he was an EMT, and knew how to do it without it hurting her as he moved closer to her to get a better look.
"Hold still a second." he said and she nodded as he removed the gauze from her arm and saw how bad the gash was. "You're going to need a few stitches for this one kiddo, the shrapnel sliced through an inch and a half of skin here and barely missed an vein as well." he said and she nodded with a sigh at that.
"How deep is it Jare" Donald asked him and he sighed and Erin answered it for him. "She's going to need ten stitches for this, because she barely missed getting that patch sliced completely off, first her wrist and now this, I swear he's going to get it for this, I need a fresh batch of gauze for this though." she said and Neil grabbed the first aid kit from the kitchen and brought it over to them as he got to work as he gently cleaned it and then rewrapped it and looked at her to confirm she had been taking the pills.
"I hope you brought your medical bag with you, I don't know if that pipe was rusted or not, because she could need a tetanus shot for this." Neil said and she nodded and got her bag out and quickly gave it to her as Jared looked at Kristen gently.
"I thought that you were still taking it?" Jared asked and she nodded. "I was, but somehow it broke through my control and landed me in front of his house." she said and he nodded with a sigh. "You were up all night again weren't you?" he asked and she nodded. "Honey if this keeps up you're going to pass out, and with this starting again, we're not taking chances here either." Neil added to her gently as he looked at her.
"How long have those nightmares been going on for?" he asked and she sighed as she looked at her father. "A little over two weeks now, and for some reason I keep winding up not just in front of the house, but in the boiler room." she said and he nodded as he asked the next question gently.
"How long were you up exactly before last night's dream triggered the alarm on this?" he asked and she went into that. "Close to three weeks, and every time I try to sleep I keep seeing that place, I've been taking it, if he's getting stronger, than it's finally pushed past my control to get past my mental defenses to keep this up, and if I have to keep this up it's going to reach the point to where if I fall asleep he's going to do to me what he did to Joey." she said and he nodded feeling his concern rising with that information as he looked at her.
'Alright now this serious, she's so fatigued that if this keeps up she's going to blow, time to put an end to this and get what's left of her anger out of her before she relapses. Simms I swear to god you try and dig your way toward my daughter and I'm having you arrested for that, and as for you-you son of a bitch, you come near my daughter or touch her and I'm going to kill you before I bury you for a second time.' he said to himself with a growl as he refocused on his conversation with the parental and young adult quartets.
As he looked at them as he tried to figure out what causing her to start dreaming about the house before he felt his hear start pounding as he realized what might be causing it to bleed through her control as Nancy looked at him. 'Neil you thinking what I'm thinking here?' Nancy asked and he nodded as he looked at their parents and the trio then to ask the next question, before he could though Damian asked his thoughts out loud.
"How serious is this getting right now?" Damian asked as he looked at her gently and she went into that as she looked at her uncle to explain it. "He's somehow pushed his control to over ride me, the guys and Nancy are not quite as strong as I am in this, because I'm the only one with control over bringing others into dreams here, and he knows this.."
"If I'm the last to be taken he could try and push me into bringing in the rest of the gang and the best guess would be Alice and he would use her as his fisherman to get to the rest of the gang and it would turn into a bloodbath as a result." she said and he nodded as Neil looked at the trio to ask them. "Did anyone do a sight check here over the last month and a half, because this is getting out of control?" he asked and the trio shook their heads as Donald looked at him at that.
"If they did and he came back then, it wouldn't be easy to pull out before they got the message to the rest of us." Donald said and he nodded as Elaine turned and looked at him. "Are you trying to give me a heart attack here you bonehead?" she asked and hit him in the shoulder. "Alright guys, time to get back on topic here, it's time to activate that warning." Jared said and they both nodded in agreement to that as Roland's father looked at him.
"Roland, anything else happen last night?" James asked and he looked at his father. "No, other than the fact she wrote up that report Uncle Donald needed to deal with those idiots after what happened the first time around." he said and the rest of the gang's parents and Donald nodded as she passed them the paper and they read through it feeling their anger growing with every word as they did it as James looked at the rest of the gang and his quartet and went into it.
"Mom, Adams and Jenkins were not party to the actions that killed Taryn, Jenny and the guys or my physical condition then and neither is Dr. Williams, so the hospital shouldn't be placed under a lawsuit for this, but Simms and Carver should, because they are the ones responsible for what my condition was back then, and so was that parasite we ran into then." Kristen said and Elaine nodded and she exchanged looks with Donald gently.
"Don't worry honey I'm going to make that clear to my team the hospital is going be clear of a law suit, but Simms and Carver won't be and they will go to jail for this, though Adam has been in the tank since we arrested him that night." she said and Kristen nodded with relief at that as Dan looked at her. "I take Adams and Jenkins were the medical doctors treating you then?" he asked and she nodded as she explained it.
