I DON'T OWN BLINDSPOT, PATTERSON HAD AN AMAZING DREAM, I THOUGHT I'D GIVE ALEXANDER ONE AS WELL. THE VERSE ABOUT WORMWOOD BELONGS TO THE BIBLE.
New York City, USA
After Alexander and Kurt made peace, the team started to get back in sync with one another. Roman continued to give the team clues about how to take down Hank Crawford. Alexander continued to spend all of his time tracking down Mickey. He called all of his Dark Web contacts, but nothing came up. It was as if Mickey vanished into thin air. As Alexander walked into the lab, he was so frustrated.
"Hey Alex, you OK?" Reade asked as he walked out of his office.
"Yeah, just trying to find Mickey." Alexander replied.
"Don't worry, we'll find him." Reade assured Alexander as he went to take a phone call. Alexander continued pacing as he heard Patterson in the lab.
"Hey, Afreen, can you check the centrifuge?" She asked. "Where did she go?" As Alexander walked into the lab, he heard a loud banging sound coming from a machine.
"Is every thing OK?" Alexander asked as he walked over.
"Yeah, this seems off." She replied. "I wonder if..." She tried to fix it as the machine started going haywire. "No...No...No..."
"Patterson LOOK OUT!" Alexander shouted as he shielded her with his body as the machine exploded.
For a few moments, Alexander couldn't see or hear anything. As he got to his feet. He saw nothing but white. He took a few steps when he saw a tan skinned man with an Afro. He recognized him instantly.
"Nigel." Alexander said as Dr. Borden came up to him. "Where am I?"
"You are at the doorway to the truth of your life." Borden replied as a door materialized before them. "Step through this door and you will learn the truth about your life and your role in Mickey's plans." Alexander moved towards the door when Borden put his hand on Alexander's.
"What gives?" Alexander asked.
"Be warned. Once you go through this door, there is no return. You can never unlearn what you will learn inside." Borden replied.
"I'll take my chances." Alexander replied as he stepped inside. As he walked through, he saw a very modern style house. He walked through the living room and heard cooing coming from a room in the hallway. Alexander walked in as he saw a couple kneeling over a baby in a cradle.
"Oh Steve, he's so beautiful." The woman said as she played with the baby.
"I know Pam, I can't believe he's all ours." Steve said as he and his wife admired the baby.
"Hey, who are you people?" Alexander said. The couple didn't even jump. It was as if he wasn't even there. As he watched, he heard a loud bang as the couple turned around. Alexander watched as Mickey burst into the room.
"Well, isn't this cute." Mickey said as he walked in. "A loving couple, a new adopted baby. You guys are living pretty good, ain't ya."
"Who are you?" Pam asked in fear.
"What do you want?" Steve also asked.
"I'm a very dangerous man and I want that baby." Mickey replied as he came closer. Alexander was pissed as Pam and Steve jumped in front of the cradle.
"You're not getting our child." Steve said as Mickey smiled.
"I was kind of hoping you'd say that." He said as he pulled a sawed off shotgun from his trench coat. He blew Steve away as Pam screamed in horror. Mickey then turned the gun on Pam. Alexander watched in fury as Mickey stepped over the corpses. He took the baby in his arms. "I'm telling you Alex, you and I are gonna have one Hell of a time." Mickey said as he carried baby Alexander out of the room.
"You bastard!" Alexander roared as he followed Mickey out into the hall. As he caught up to them, Mickey turned around and blew Alexander away with the shotgun. Alexander fell back and landed on a cobble stone street. As he got to his feet, Dr. Borden came up to him.
"I tried to warn you." He said as Alexander spat.
"Mickey killed my adoptive parents killed, why?" Alexander asked.
"My responses are limited, so please only ask the right questions." Dr. Borden said.
"Why did Mickey sell me to the traffickers?" Alexander asked.
"He needed you to be as tough as he was. You needed to learn that the world was a cruel place."
"Why would Mickey say that my mother loved me only to frame her?"
"He wanted to confuse you so badly that you would listen to the only voice that you trusted: his voice."
"Did Shepherd know about this?"
"My responses are limited, so please only ask the right questions."
"Why didn't Mickey do this to Avery?" Alexander asked as Dr. Borden smiled.
"That is the right question." He replied.
Alexander was suddenly transported to a cafe. As he walked around, he saw Mickey talking to a slim woman with black hair.
"I'm glad you agreed to meet." He said to the woman.
"Well, after you tracked me down and broke into my house just to leave a note, I didn't really have much of a choice." She replied.
"Look Mallory, you're my sister and despite the Hell you put me through, I still love you. Why didn't you tell me you wanted out of Sandstorm?"
"Would you have let me leave if I had told you?" Mallory asked. Mickey put his head down.
"You could've at least given me a clue that you were still alive. Letting someone think that someone they love is dead when they ain't is quite cruel." He replied. Mallory nodded.
"I was wrong to leave the way I did Mickey." Mallory confessed. "But I was right to leave. I want to grow old, I want to have children, I want a husband, and I will never have that if I live the life that you do."
"What are you saying Mal?"
"If you love me like you say you do, you need to stay out of my life. Forever. I don't want to see you again." Mallory answered as Mickey held back tears.
"If that's what you want Mallory, but promise me something. If I die, I want you to take immediate action on my behalf. You owe me that much." He said. Mallory thought about it and then nodded.
"All right Mickey, but I want you to stay away from me." She replied.
"Have a nice life Mallory." Mickey said as he left the cafe. As Alexander watched Mickey leave, Dr. Borden joined him.
"Did he leave Mallory alone?" Alexander asked.
"My responses are limited, so please only ask the right questions." Borden replied.
"Is Mallory going to try and avenge Mickey's death when I kill him?
"That is the right question." Borden replied.
Alexander felt that someone was holding his head in a tin of water. Eventually, his head was pulled up and he heard cheering. Alexander looked down and he saw a basin filled with blood. He looked down st his hands and saw an imprint on his left hand.
Property of Diane Patterson
Alexander's eyes opened wide as he saw Patterson in front of him with a smile on her face and her wrists slit. It was her blood. He looked to his side and saw Mickey wearing a pastor's robe and dark sunglasses. Alexander saw that they were in a church.
"Now that we've added a new member to our flock, let us rejoice! Praise the lord!" Mickey shouted.
"Praise the lord!" Everyone repeated. Alexander saw Jane, Weller, Reade, Zapata, Avery, Crawford, and Roman sitting in pews. Alexander sat next to Avery as she hugged him.
"I'm so glad you joined Alex. Father Mickey's gonna change the whole world!" She squealed. Alexander nodded as Mickey began speaking.
"It has been a long journey for you all, I know. However you can rejoice my children, the time is almost at hand for the prophecy to be fulfilled." Everyone cheered as Mickey spoke. "As the greatest of prophets of told us since time in memorial: Everytning that is born must also die! Praise the lord!"
"Rev 10-11! Rev 10-11! Rev 10-11!" The team kept shouting. Alexander saw a bible on his lap and it hit him.
"The book of Revelation, verses 10 and 11." Alexander said to himself as he opened the Bible and flipped to the verses.
"Then the third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star burning like a torch fell from heaven and landed on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter like wormwood oil, and many people died from the bitter waters."
Suddenly, the Church was empty except for Alexander and Borden.
"This is Mickey's grand design." Borden said as Alexander closed the Bible.
"What, is he going to bring about the apocalypse? Did he become religious?" Alexander asked.
"My responses are limited, so please only ask the right questions."
"What is Wormwood?"
"That is the right question."
Alexander was then transported to a strange building. It was filled with high tech and everything was in Russian. Mickey had taught Alexander to speak several languages.
"Where the fuck am I now?" He asked as he walked into a control room. Inside, he saw several men working controls.
"We're below 700 megawatts. We can't do the test." One man said in Russian.
"We are doing this test tonight and that's that." Another man told him. "The Chernobyl nuclear plant is our finest achievement. There is nothing wrong."
"Aw, shit!"Alexander said to himself. "This is Chernobyl!" Suddenly, an employee came running in.
"The reactor, it's out of control!" He shouted as Alexander looked on the screen. He saw Mickey hovering over the reactor lids.
"Checkmate Alex." Mickey said as the reactor exploded. Alexander was blasted out of the control room. He landed on a dusty street. As he got up, he saw a landscape of ruined buildings. Suddenly, Alexander realized where he was.
"It's New York." Alexander said to himself. "It's a parking lot." As he walked, he suddenly saw Jane and Avery. They were naked, their clothes had melted off.
"Alexander." Jane said. Alexander ran over to them.
"Mom...Avery..." Alexander said as he tried to touch them, but his skin was burned.
"Alex, help us...please..." Jane begged as she started to disintegrate.
"Before Mickey destroys us all..." Avery said as she too was reduced to a puddle of toxic waste.
"MOM! AVERY! NO NO NO NO!" Alexander cried at the sky as Dr. Borden held a gun to his head.
"What does Chernobyl mean in English?" Borden asked. Alexander wiped his tears as he thought about it. Suddenly, it hit him.
"Wormwood...What is Mickey going to do?" Alexander asked.
"That is the right question." Borden said as he fired his gun.
Jane, Avery, and Kurt were sitting next to Alexander in the hospital. He and Patterson had been hurt in the explosion. Patterson had come out of surgery ok, but Alexander was still in a coma. Suddenly, Alexander began to stir.
"Nuh..nuh...MICKEY!" Alexander said as he sat up and screamed. Jane and Avery ran over and held him tight.
"It's OK honey, he won't hurt you." Jane said.
"HE'S GONNA KILL US ALL! I SAW HIM! IT'S WORMWOOD!" Alexander cried out as Avery pressed his head to her chest.
"It's OK Alex!" Avery whispered. Alexander cried as he rocked in their arms.
WHAT DOES MICKEY HAVE PLANNED? HOW WILL HE BRING ABOUT "WORMWOOD"? BTW, I'M NOT SURE WHAT PATTERSON'S NAME IS, I THOUGHT I HEARD SOMEONE CALL HER DIANE IN ONE OF THE EPISODES. REVIEWS NEEDED.
