"Shit! Shit! Shit!" Cooper swore loudly, back against a wall of the garage. Eyeing Waverly, Jeremy, and an ever growing more lucid Nicole the man lost all courage. He turned to run for the door barely making it two feet before skidding to a stop.

"SHIT!" He cried in the loudest yell yet.

"Shit is right." Wynonna said from the entranceway, peacemaker already glowing as she pointing it right at the man's head. "And you can eat it." Waverly covered her ears as the shot rang out. She didn't need to hear the Cooper's screams as he was pulled into hell. She'd already heard enough screams for one day.

It was only once the pits to hell had closed over again that Wynonna took in the scene. Nicole bearing at least three gunshot wounds, Waverly teary and tied, and Jeremy staring unblinkingly at the three fresh skeletons on the ground.

"I leave you guys alone for two hours and this is the weird shit you get up to." She exclaimed in a tone that on first glance could be read as annoyance but sounded a lot more like amazement.

From behind her Waverly saw Doc peaking into the space, trying to see what had happened. Wynonna stepped aside to let him enter the garage. The cowboy tentatively approached the skeletons and tentatively gave Rosita's bones a slight kick. As if checking to make sure they weren't about to regain life.

"Don't you dare touch that damn crystal!" Waverly snapped sharply as the cowboy's arm brushed the crystal's metal base. Sensing Waverly's unhinged state, Doc obediently stepped away, giving the stone a wide berth.

"That was messed up." Nicole said, slowly sliding down against her garage's wall wincing as she hit the ground. She eyed Wynonna suspiciously. "How did you know to come here?"

"I called them." Jeremy chimed in, as he cut the rope tying Waverly's hands together. "As soon as I heard the gunshots I knew something was wrong." He shrugged before continuing. "I figured we could use some reinforcements."

Nodding gratefully and rubbing her now free wrists Waverly sat herself next to Nicole and gently rested her head on the taller woman's shoulder.

"So is anyone going to tell me why the hell there are three skeleton's in Haught's garage? I know they aren't Halloween decorations." Wynonna shouted annoyed.

Waverly and Nicole said nothing, still in shock as to what they had just witnessed.

"The crystal went full Raiders of the Lost Ark on Rosita and two other guys." Jeremy explained, seemingly unaffected by the horrors that had just taken place. "I tried to stop them, I was worried it might try and take too much evil out of them." The scientist looked at his feet. "But they didn't listen."

"Course they didn't." Nicole spoke quietly. "They were desperate. Can't say I blame them."

"I wonder where they are now?" Waverly said, unable to stop staring at Rosita's slight skeleton. "Do you think it still sent them to hell or are they stuck in that thing?"

"It doesn't matter." Wynonna said, holding out a hand for Waverly to take before pulling her sister to her feet. "They are gone, those three plus Cooper. That only leaves one Revenant left."

"Two" Nicole winced as she dug her fingers into her chest. A second later she pulled a small bullet from a healing wound. "Unless anyone can think of a less soul sucking crystal for me?" Her last comment was meant to be a joke, but it came out harsh. Nicole was feeling the pressure of her reality closing in on her. It was forming a large lump of pressure in her stomach had nothing to do with the bullets that were still lodged there.

"Right." Wynonna said awkwardly. "Haught remember we've got as much time as we need to fix this."

Nicole glared at the heir from the ground. Her eyes forcing Wynonna to remember the promise she'd made days ago. That if they killed all of the remaining Revenants leaving Nicole as the only one left. Wynonna would shoot her. No questions asked. The heir had promised.

"I need to do something about this." Waverly said, raising her injured wrist, trying to break the mysterious new tension between her partner and sister. Her wrist had begun to swell, so much so that the moment she spoke Nicole seemed to lose all traces of thought in regards to her current state and her caregiving instincts kicked in.

"We'd better ice that." She spoke in concern, refusing to look at Wynonna. "I think I've got a tensor bandage in my first aid kit." The officer wrapped her long arm over Waverly's shoulders as she led her out of the garage. The backdoor to the house had just banged shut behind them when Dolls appeared in the back yard panting.

"Just saw Jeremy's message." He said, resting his hands on his knees trying to catch his breath. "Everyone okay? I was asleep."

"Woah even lizard men sleep?" Wynonna said in awe, guiltlessly allowing her eyes to rake over the muscular sweaty man before her.

"Everyone's fine." Jeremy said, fully aware of Wynonna's present thoughts, similar ones to forming in his mind.

"Ms. Haught has taken Waverly inside to tend to what we believe is simply a sprained wrist." Doc said lighting a cigarette, eyes still on Rosita's skull.

"And Rosita is on this sheik new diet, really losing weight." Wynonna pulled herself back to reality. "Though, in my opinion it's still good to have a little meat on your bones." The heir gestured to the three skeletons that Dolls had yet to notice.

His eyes immediately widened. "Shit" Dolls crouched down to examine the bones before rising again and walking around the crystal. "This thing is way more powerful than I thought."

Jeremy nodded.

"Did it just suck them dry?" The agent asked.

"Like a mosquito." Wynonna answered.

"Xavier." Doc spoke up, slight concern in his voice. "Do you think they are simply now stuck within that thing?" He pointed to the crystal. "Or have they, as some say, moved on?"

Dolls crouched down and looked into the milky stone, taking the utmost care not to touch it. "I don't know." He said finally. "But I know how to find out." He nodded to Wynonna. "Earp, do your thing."

"Huh?" Wynonna had been distracted by Jeremy who had begun sanding some dust off a bone and collecting it into a vial.

"Put a bullet in their skulls." Dolls said, lining the bones up in a neat row facing the heir. "Let's just see what happens."

The apprehension in the room was palpable as Wynonna pulled Peacemaker from its holster and pointed them at the skulls. To her surprise the revolver immediately began to glow.
One, two, three. Three times she fired. Each time a small hole appeared in the forehead of each skull. All at once the crystal turned a fiery shade of orange. The pits of hell opened up allowing the bones to fall inwards to hell. Then horrible screams blared from within the crystal. Three large shapes of light, which seemed to resemble Rosita, Banks, and Skinner blasted out of the glowing crystal, flew high into the air, hovered near the low roof of the garage before seeming to be sucked headfirst into the pits of hell. As soon as it had happened it was over. The crystal returned to its same deadly milky white and all the skeletons were gone.

"Well, that answers that." Wynonna said, blowing on Peacemakers barrel and holstering it once more.

"Did you hear that?" Waverly said suddenly from inside Nicole's bathroom.

"Hmm?" The officer was distractedly wrapping Waverly's swollen wrist tightly in a tensor bandage.

"I thought I heard screaming?" Waverly's eyes were wide. "What if something happened?"

"I'm sure it's fine." Nicole said, clasping the silver clips on the bandage to hold it tight, she felt like she couldn't take any more excitement or turmoil for the rest of the day. She was beginning to feel numb to it all. "There, you are all set." The taller woman said securing the final clip.

"Thanks" Waverly retracted her wrist and held it; eyes still gazing outside the window. "Should we check on them?"

Nicole signed. "Waverly." She said placing her hands on the shorter woman's shoulders. "It's fine."

Waverly chewed on her lips. "I guess."

Sensing that Waverly was in no way going to let this go, Nicole proposed. "Why don't you go check on them?" The brunette looked at her partner with concern.

"Don't worry about me." The officer chuckled. "I'm just going to take a shower. Try to get the last of the bullets out, something I don't think you really want to see." She added the last bit with a smile.

Waverly allowed herself a small laugh before placing her hand on one of the already healed wounds on Nicole's abdomen. "Okay. How's it feel? How are you doing?" She added in concern, realising she'd yet to check in on the taller woman. She could tell that something was off within Nicole but in all honesty the brunette felt there was little she could do in that moment to ease her partner's disappointment, especially since she feeling her own let downs.

"I'll be okay." Nicole said, grateful that Waverly wasn't pushing her to open up. "Now go check on your sister."

Deciding Nicole was right in her subtle hint of them both needing their own space for a few minutes, Waverly let a gentleness wash over her and didn't push the subject. The couple shared a brief tender kiss before breaking apart. Waverly left the bathroom and was barely down the hall when she heard the shower turn on. Nicole was hurting Waverly knew, but there was nothing she could do to fix it.
As she entered the kitchen Waverly was met with the sight of her older sister opening all of Nicole's cabinets. Presumably looking for some form of liquor.

"Check the one above the fridge." Waverly said, alerting her sister of her presence. "I think there's a secret compartment."

Sure enough, when Wynonna opened the cupboard she was able to jimmy the side section loose and reveal a half full bottle of bourbon. "Not whiskey." The heir said as she took the bottle down, blowing dust off of it. "But it'll do." She unscrewed the bottled and took a long swig. She gestured to Waverly's wrist. "How is it?"

Automatically Waverly gripped her bandaged wrist. "It'll be fine. Nicole says it's just a sprain." Wynonna nodded. "Nicole's in the shower." The younger Earp added awkwardly, as if her sister couldn't already hear the running water.

Wynonna nodded, then eyeing her sister carefully asked. "How are you doing baby girl? That was some rough news we learned today."

"Honestly Wynonna." Waverly said slowly, trying to piece what she was actually feeling together. She'd found herself surprisingly unaffected by the crystal's failure. She'd been mentally preparing for it to not work since the moment she'd learned about it. It always just seemed to good to be true. Instead of the disappointment targeted towards the crystal's failure Waverly was feeling affected by something else.
"There's only one Revenant left Wynonna." Waverly said to her sister, half smiling. "I mean, this is supposed to be a celebration." She shrugged half-heartedly.

"We are supposed to be ripping Rosita and all of the other Revenant's faces off of my board." The youngest Earp tried to reign in her thoughts and imagination. " We'd burn them, or laugh, or make them into paper airplanes." Wynonna chuckled at the thought. "We'd be celebrating Wynonna! Tonight would be loud and sloppy and full of hope." Waverly wilted. "But instead, here we are." She paused "If Nicole was human, tonight would feel really different." Wynonna shifted uncomfortably from foot to foot" And I'm just kind of missing that. Tonight sucked, but it kind of didn't. I mean we got four Revenants out of the way just like that." Waverly thought for another moment. "But for some reason everyone's still in thi weird funeral mind-set." Wynonna nodded in agreement, Waverly continued. "We are almost through this Wynonna, we are almost free." The sister's eyes locked together, Waverly's sparklingly with hope, Wynonna growing more and more distant, sensing where her sister's thoughts were headed. "You are almost free Wynonna." The heir's heart was starting to ache.

Waverly didn't notice the change in her sister's demeanour; she was too lost in her own thoughts. " What happened to Nicole sucks." The small brunette, toyed with a clip on her bandaged wrist. "Trust me I know. It sucks, really sucks." Waverly glanced down that hall where she could still hear the shower running. "But she isn't a danger to you or us." She took her sister's hand and squeezed it tightly. "Wynonna, once this last guy is gone, you can move on, you can even bring Alice home. It'll be safe. It will be over. No matter how long we spend searching for a way to make Nicole mortal the curse will basically be broken. "

"But it won't Waves." Wynonna muttered, the realisation of what she needed to tell her sister crashing in her ears. "It won't be over, I won't be safe, and neither will Alice." She had known she wasn't going to be able to keep her deal with Nicole secret from Waverly much longer, she just hadn't been expecting to have to spill the beans that night.
Wordlessly Wynonna took the bourbon back from her sister and downed several large gulps. Waverly didn't say anything, knowing the older woman was preparing to say something.

"Baby girl." Wynonna said pulling one of Nicole's kitchen chairs out from the table. "Have a seat, I need to tell you something."
