A/N: finale

December 10th

"I'm on fire" cries Sadie

"yes I know baby, you want to be better right" asks Andre

"I want to have fun, this treatment isn't fun" pouts Sadie

"you trust Daren right" asks Andre

"yeah so it's not fair that geek king Robbie gets to make love to THREE girls and I have to go through torture before you can do me" pouts Sadie

"you're right it's not fair, though technically Tori alone is three people so he's making love to five, anyway Sadie if I thought it was medically safe to do so I'd have pinned you down and made love to you already, one of the problems is your weight, you're skinnier than Cat and as it is they have to be careful with Cat in bed and I'm not willing to take the risk of hurting you, the other problem is what they did to you there, that injection they forced on you, Daren says it could have killed the nerves in that area of your body if they went too far and we won't know till after this treatment is over if they did go too far" says Andre

"so my health means everything to you" asks Sadie

"yes, look as much as I would love to have fun Sadie, if the risk of pleasure is a hospital visit because I was a little rough then I am willing to wait, after all I've only gotten stronger since high school, not as much as I'd wanted but maybe that's for the best, your parents are coming in half an hour, are you sure you're ready for this" says Andre

"if I'm not ready now then I'll never be, though it's probably best you put me in the jacket just in case" says Sadie as Andre reluctantly does so

35 minutes later

"why is she in a straight jacket Andre, she's not nuts is she, did that facility really take our only daughter away from us" asks Craig as Sadie sits silently

"they did a lot of things to her, there are videos and images of her online as a supposed sex star which couldn't be farther from the truth but that's how they got away with it, they gave her the illusion of choice, do as they say and avoid the medication injection or say no and get the injection, those choices included naked pictures and videos of sex which was actually rape, the sad part is they injected her anyway once they were done having their fun, they've used this evil plan to get girls that are released to kill their parents, hence the jacket" says Andre

"how could they do that, medicine is supposed to help people" asks Claire

"medication can be used for both good and evil, in this facility's case they generally used medication to inject false memories, since we can't be sure they didn't do that to her she insisted on the jacket to protect you guys, she's not in any real pain, well besides the reversal treatment letting her muscles stretch for the first time in years causing her to feel like her body is on fire" says Carly

"how long has she been on this reversal treatment" asks Craig

"two weeks dad, it's a four week treatment, can you hug me, you always had the best hugs" says Sadie

"hey" says Claire offended

"why are her teeth filed, is she going to bite us" asks Craig

"it wasn't us, that facility thrived in causing pain in their female patients, filing of teeth was unfortunately common, Andre can use his hands to distract her mouth from biting if it comes to that" says Eliza

"you love her a lot don't you Andre, I can see it in her eyes" asks Claire

"I do indeed love her so much, I'd love to get engaged with her on Christmas but she wants your blessing for me to do so" says Andre as Sadie pouts

"hug please" begs Sadie as Andre hugs her tight causing her to giggle

"is this what you want Sadie" asks Claire

"yeah….., you're not gonna let me are you, I should have known, you guys fear the blacks" asks Sadie tears forming in her eyes

"sweetie that's not why I asked, you're defenseless against his strength, especially now that you'd lost so much weight, I wanted to make sure you weren't going from one forced situation to another, dating is one thing, marriage is another, believe me, as much as I'm ever in love with your father it's not a fair fight when we do fight and there are days I wish I'd said no when he asked me to marry him, our fears have nothing to do with the color of his skin" says Claire

"mom there is nobody who could make me as happy as Andre does, he's had my heart for years, ever since I first saw him in sixth grade, then Cat dated him in eighth grade till February and I fell apart remember mom" says Sadie

"oh that's right I do remember that, you and Cat were close friends, you'd felt betrayed, you'd stopped eating with the rest of us till May that year" says Claire

"ya we'd kinda made up in high school, we got kinda kissy testy, I knew you'd have never let me bring someone home so I kept it secret at school" says Sadie as Cat walks over

"oh I knew about that, Athena had been going through a phase of not being able to keep a secret, I'd have actually preferred you tested that water in the safety of our home but I can understand why you chose the way you did" says Craig

"why didn't you ground me then, you guys had rules remember" asks Sadie

"you don't know this but I'm actually bisexual Sadie, I knew Cat probably wasn't your type but she's easy to talk to and would probably have been the only safe person to test your sexuality with or test kissing tips on, she may have been skittish around her friends but you two have always been close" says Craig as he hugs his daughter

"I love Andre, why didn't you guys get me out of there" says Sadie accusing them of neglect

"Sadie honey if we could have we would have, Cat's the only one with enough money to get past the money barrier" says Clair

"not to mention they had no idea what facility they'd taken you to" says Cat

"what do you mean money barrier" asks Sadie mortified

"you know how they would rape you a lot right" asks Cat

"yeah… I mean I'm trying to forget that but yes" says Sadie

"they gave me the option to do exactly that, basically it wasn't just 'doctors' who could rape you Sadie, anyone with money could, if they had the money and the want to do so and were able to find you they could 'play' with you as much as they want, whatever they wanted and as long as they paid the two grand price every hour they could just keep doing what they were doing for as long as they wanted, I was planning to get you out of there, unfortunately they found that out and made me leave before I could calm you down enough to get you out of there" says Cat

"so I was a slave, I freaking hate my life" cries Sadie

"you're about to get a big settlement because of it though, you had five ultra rich douches pay for naked time with you, the FIBB is going to make them pay for that, sure money doesn't heal the trauma Sadie but it does help you live with said trauma" says Cat

"how much is she going to get exactly" asks Craig

"millions, the rapists are trying to tell the FBI that she was a willing participant in the often multi hour acts, Cat said Sadie would never consent to anything like what she went through, the FBI believes Cat knows what she's talking about so they fight for a number they believe will help" says Jade

"I need a number" asks Sadie

"they haven't settled on a top limit, the five men plus the doctors, you're talking a minimum of eighteen million dollars" says Jade

"I don't want their money, they made me feel icky, they talked to me like I was their daughter while they did me, I couldn't say anything or they could have choked me, they were very aggressive" says Sadie

"I thought you didn't remember being raped" asks Jade shocked

"I have bits and pieces Jadelyn, I didn't remember it till you guys talked about that stuff, mom, dad, Andre couch please, I'm tired and I want you guys to talk" says Sadie as everyone moves to the couch

"No Ashley that doesn't mean you, it's color day remember" says Jade

"oh right, my bad" says Ashley(Tori)

"do you want us to move here Sadie" asks Craig

"it would make me feel better yes, you don't have to though, it's kinda crowded here" says Sadie as she drifts off to sleep

"Cat what's rent like here" asks Claire

"honestly that depends on what the upper limit of her settlement is, how much do you guys make on that retirement fund thing" says Cat

"a few grand, most of it has been going to hospital bills, my brother has been living at our house paying what's left of the mortgage, he's autistic with a husband so he's totally at home being there" says Claire as Jade's phone goes off

"what was the decision" asks Carly

"they pled guilty after the FBI played Daren's videos of them raping her, they forfeited all their money, she's getting a hundred billion dollars total from the rich douches and a hundred grand a year till she dies times seven doctors so basically she'll never have to worry about money for the rest of her life, she needs to understand she'd never be able to hold a job with that trauma, she can't think about it like payment for the things they made her do, it's replacement income because of the trauma, because of the sheer amount of money it's being placed in a trust type system, she will get a certain amount each month to spend and a set amount based on bills that will automatically be paid automatically, so if she has therapy, insurance, food, internet, gas, things like that, all that gets paid automatically" says Jade

"Cat tell us the truth, did her kissing grow feelings for you or was it seriously just for experience" asks Craig

"I'll admit she was a tad bit interested in taking it farther but not enough to actually do anything about those feelings, she was dead set on Andre, she only did the experience kisses with me so when or if she got a chance to kiss Andre he didn't seem unimpressed by her lack of skill or knowledge, he had been with lots of girls after him and I broke up, it made her feel stupid not being able to have experience kissing like he did" says Cat

"you'd kissed tons of people too, you got every role you ever auditioned for" says Andre

"acting doesn't count big boy, after I met Tori I'd just pretended they were all her, in reality your lips were the only ones that had sparked a genuine reaction from me and the only ones that had actually counted towards making me feel whole at the time, even to this day Andre there is just something about how you take amazing care of your skin that amazes me" says Cat

"I guess that's fair" says Andre

"you know Andre you really aren't like the other darker skinned people we know Sadie's age, most of the ones who wanted to get close to her had creepy ideas as the main reason" says Claire

"being creepy has nothing to do with the color of someone's skin, committing crimes doesn't know about skin color, my family is one of the many poor black families in this country, my grandmother, bless her soul couldn't get medicine to help her because doctors believed it was all an act, the medication they gave her didn't help at all, think about that for a second, my grandma had a white friend with the same condition, the difference was her white friend got the meds she needed while my grandma was left in the dust, left to make me and the rest of my family look terrible, making it look as if we didn't care about her at all, now my grandma is gone and that white friend she had is doing better than ever, us black people are rarely given a fair shot, even when we are given a chance it's always way harder to pass" says Andre

"give me an example, I'm not trying to be mean I'm just shocked that it actually happens" says Craig as David walks over

"Andre getting his drivers license was but three examples, while in university it had lapsed because he was too focused on his studies, it took him three tries to finally get an instructor who would acknowledge his driving experience, each of the three times he'd passed, each time his new license failed to be mailed out, when he'd go to the DMV to sort the 'mixup' out they tried to say he never took the test, despite me being the person who dropped him off each time and him having proof that it would be mailed" says David

"did he ever get his license, he was driving yesterday, he brought us to the hotel nearby where we stayed last night" asks Craig as Andre plays with Sadie's hair to keep her calm

"he did, keep in mind Cat can't legally drive, she had Freddie drive her down and as part of a police anti-racism sting she handed the DMV fake papers and was instantly handed a drivers license, twenty minutes later she was 'arrested' and marched in to the dmv to tell the police who gave her the drivers license, as it turns out the DMV had never even read the papers Cat submitted to them, when Cat pressed them as to why Andre had been repeatedly been denied a renewal of his license, do you want to guess what the first words out of their mouth were" says David

"do we even want to know" asks Craig

"they said that because he was black that he was a criminal, when I defended him they tried to label me as a criminal as well, luckily the policeman I was with slapped that idea down right away, saying that them not reporting any interaction with a suspected criminal aids the criminal's game plan and by not reporting it they were complicit in any criminals they gave licenses to, as it turns out three employees were literally kidnappers who had warrants for their arrest, as a result of the internal and police investigation about a dozen DMV employees were arrested" says Cat

"Jade said they pled guilty so when does Sadie's torture end, when can she begin making plans for a family" asks Claire

"Christmas eve" says Trina

"is there likely to be any lasting damage to her body as a result of the massive amount of terrible medicine they used on her" asks Andre

"anywhere from nerve damage to infertility Andre, we won't know till Christmas what's what" says Eliza

"that's a huge range" says Andre showing just how much he cares about Sadie

December 23rd

"I must be a terrible girlfriend Andre, I have no way of getting you anything for Christmas, I feel guilty that you guys are doing so much to get me better and I can't get you anything to show I appreciate that effort" says Sadie as Andre runs his fingers over her waist, mainly checking to see if she feels it

"look baby, your parents and I agreed you being alive is enough of a gift for us, can you feel what I'm doing with my hands on your waist" says Andre as Sadie rolls her eyes at the quirkiness of the response

"sort of, can you run your hands over my place, that's where I care about feeling things, I want to know, I hated waiting for those two weeks" says Sadie as Andre complies

"can you feel that" asks Andre as Sadie shivers in response

"thankfully yes, can you take off my panties and play with it" pleads Sadie

"only if you're finally ready for fun, I don't like teasing" says Andre

"I am more than ready hunky bear" says Sadie

With Clair

"normally Sadie is out of bed by now, please tell me he's not making her do anything she doesn't wan to" asks Claire

"her treatment was ended early because she was getting too woozy from the meds, Andre was instructed to make sure she could feel his hands running across her waist for medical reasons, I'm sure it's lead to fun in bed, she's not a child anymore, Andre is actually quite submissive that way, especially when it comes to Sadie, her needs and wants come first, if he wants something extra like making out he will ask but never expects to be given it" says Jade

"I get that but it still scares me, he's just so much bigger than her" says Claire

"if I may, I've known Andre a long time, he's very loyal, if she wants something she will get it just to her liking, he's proven time and time again that her comfort is more important than his bedding desires, if he had really wanted to he could have done her as he wanted the moment they arrived here, he'd chosen not to, I know Sadie even better, she's so in love with him, had he said so he could have had her anyway he wanted, you have to have faith Andre won't do anything Sadie doesn't want to do" says Cat

"he's done you too then I assume" asks Craig

"no actually him and I weren't that tight a fit, that's why we'd broken up after so few months together, trust me he cares, he could have easily done me back then but he has a strong moral compass and said it wasn't right, I'd given him some money for a gift for you guys, believe me I was shocked at how spot on it was for you guys, though maybe that shows just how terrible a gift giver I tend to be, I've rarely ever gotten the right gift for my own parents on birthdays or Christmas's, I've always disappointed them" says Cat

"do you know what he's packing" asks Claire

"I hear it's small but I don't really know to be honest, you should know Sadie is so upset that we're doing so much for her and she has no way to show she appreciates it, she's a firm believer in actions over words" says Cat

"we told Andre to tell her that her being alive is more than enough of a gift for us" says Craig

"you must really be out of touch with your daughter, that won't be enough proof for her, you guys rarely told her you loved her, sure it was because you guys were too busy making money trying to get enough of it to buy her everything she's ever wanted, it had an effect on her, if I had to guess she's probably going to try and give you guys most of the money she's getting to make up for everything you guys had to cancel to raise her" says Cat

"that money isn't for us, it's for her" insists Craig

"again she won't see it that way, you guys lived just like my parents, make enough money to provide for your children, the problem with how you did so is you were barely ever there for her, my dad's been dead a year and a half, in November for my moms birthday we'd gotten her gifts, Athena bought this missing dress but lost her apartment over it, it absolutely destroyed my mom when she realized neither Athena or I thought we were good kids for her because our minds wander, we'd forgotten her birthday five years in a row, trust me Sadie feels responsible for all your pain" says Cat

"she's the best daughter we could have ever asked for, why does she feel that way" says Claire

"most likely part guilt for letting her feelings for Andre get her sent to that facility and part conditioning by that facility, I was there yesterday and believe me the number of girls who said they were worthless was staggering, it's a technique for being able to overpower them, if they feel worthless its a lot easier to rape them than if you build up their self worth" says Eliza

"is Tallia there still" asks Daren

"Tallia walker" asks Eliza

"yeah why" asks Daren

"she asked about you, she's maybe not the most stable person but I'd be careful with her" says Eliza

"but she's not here, how can I be careful with her…… wait she's being sent here isn't she" asks Daren

"yes, Eliza and I are part of a ten external doctor team that prescribe meds to the female patients, Tallia is one of the ten I'm in charge of, she's been doing good, taking her meds, being polite, she and Wendy had written a song on behalf of the females of that facility for saving them, they don't care that it wasn't his intention at first, it's what ended up happening, she's coming here later today, not in a jacket but with one in hand just in case" says Carly

"Sadie wasn't the worst treated there, Tallia was among the three worst treated, they didn't even consider her a human, she was just a sex hole with legs to them, how long is she staying for" says Daren

"a week, Carly was the only one willing to allow Tallia out of the facility for any length of time, she tried to barter for three weeks so Tallia could decompress, I along with the other doctors gave her one week to prove to us that Tallia can thrive outside the facility, if she can make it a week and not hurt anyone then she will be given another week, if she gets to a month of time away with outstanding behavior she will be applied for Disability benefits and be allowed to rent a one bedroom apartment or be with someone who rents a two bedroom apartment" says Eliza

"speaking of she's here" says Carly

"already, she wasn't supposed to be here for another hour" asks Eliza

"apparently she talked the ears off the security guard who drove her here" says Carly as Eliza gets ready to get Tallia

"make sure to warn Daren of the issue" says Eliza as she walks to the elevator

"what issue" asks Daren

"she's madly in love with you but the issue is other patients there have tried to convince her that because she's the only one who saw you that you don't exist, though to be fair her grip on reality isn't exactly that strong, she claims winged three foot tall people are everywhere, she's extremely manic depressive" says Carly as Sadie and Andre come out of their living space and Eliza walks in with Tallia

"Sadie, you found him, I'm happy for you" says Tallia

"indeed I did" says Sadie winking at Daren

"what am I an invisible man" asks Daren as Tallia seemingly ignores him

"so Carly what's the chances of me living here, I'm too traumatized to go back, when you guys took over it was supposed to be a safe space, now it's not doctors making me feel bad but other patients, taking my meds only makes the mean people make fun of me more, I miss deri" says Tallia

"I'm right here" cries Daren

"Tallia he's real and he's right here" says Cat as she pushes Daren over the couch to show that he's real

"no he's not, I made him up, everyone says so, don't lie to me, can I stay here or not" says Tallia

"you've convinced me Tallia however you still need to show the other eight doctors you can thrive here" says Eliza as Daren starts crying

"Deri is Cat's brother Tallia, to stay here you need to apologize to him, he's very real, his real name is Daren, he worked with the FBI to get several girls out of that place over the past three years after the first girl he had feelings for died in his arms because of the doctors cruelty, he very much has feelings for you" says Jade as Tallia faints trying to work all that out

"what the crepe just happened" asks Cat as Daren stops crying and picks up Tallia

"she has a fainting disorder, way worse than yours sis" says Daren

"but I could be fainted for hours, before my meds anyway" says Cat shocked

"she needs that med, she could fall into a coma, do you have any left Sis" says Daren

"y--" says Cat as Carly cuts her off

"no you can't give her medication that isn't prescribed to her" fusses Carly

"Carly I have to disagree with you there, before she faints her body goes into a freeze state, those doctors took advantage of it and that's when they'd rape her or get others to rape her, if we don't get her body to start fighting it she will wake up assuming one of us raped her, Cat I must order you to crush up one of your pills and mus it in with water and give it to her" says Daren

"you got it" says Cat running off to get the pill

"you have no idea how her body will react to it Daren, you could kill her" says Eliza

"her doctor before the facility had her on that medication Eliza, her parents made him switch it out for an extremely experimental one because they didn't like how stable it made her, when she became unstable and seeing things that aren't there she was sent to that facility" says Daren as Cat comes back with a glass of water with the pill in it

"so you're saying the winged midgets and her fainting are connected" asks Carly as Athena walks over

"oh my God Dare, you found Tallia Becuna, you haven't seen her since we were fifteen, man were you ever in love with her" exclaims Athena

"that explains his knowledge of her medical history, Daren do it, save her life" says Eliza as Daren brings Tallia out of danger

"D-Daren….. it really is you, I-I-I never thought I'd see you again… am I dead" asks Tallia

"you are very much alive sweetie, would you still like to be my girl, I know you've been through a lot and it's been years and years since you'd asked me out but I've never forgotten about you and I know you haven't forgotten about me" says Daren as Athena shakes her head at her dork brother

"I-if you'd have me and if I'm allowed to, I'm here under conditions of sanity which I'm not entirely sure I'll pass" says Tallia as Eliza's jaw drops at the difference

"you're a totally different person now, it's incredible" says Eliza

"I must have been given one of Cat's miracle fainting meds, I can think a lot clearer too now" says Tallia

"what kind of medicine was that Cat" asks Carly

"my fainting meds, you know the long long word one, it's fast acting and stays in my system for twelve hours, long enough for school and homework, short fainting spells are all that get through it, Tallia's fainting condition is similar to mine, it fogs the mind to a serious degree, the moment my doctor found that one was the day I started doing well in school, if I remember correctly Tallia was one of the best students in all of LA and most of southern California in fact, had she not been taken away she could have had a terrific career in marine biology" says Cat

"the long medication that starts with a J or the one with the M, I'd lost track of which one helps you with fainting" asks Carly

"the M one, Marillacontnstanone or something like that, I can't ever seem to remember how exactly it's pronounced" says Cat

"wow that pronunciation was spot on Cat, barely any doctor can even pronounce it that well" says Eliza

"ok I'll go write up a prescription, I'd recommend someone other than Daren go get it filled" says Carly

"why" asks Eliza

"because it's pretty clear Daren knows her best, he's the best person to monitor her health right now while that medication gets filled" says Carly as she runs up to her office to write the script

"you know you two always worked better together Daren" says Tallia

"to be quite frank Tallia my brother and I haven't gotten truly along well in years, we're only just getting along better now, Athena and I always got along better" says Cat

"are you married to two girls and a Robbie, I thought the law was one to one not one to three" asks Tallia

"I'm working around legality there Tallia, Tori, the cute Latina to my left is a system much like my brother is and I am on occasion, I'm legally married to Tori as of last week, Robbie is married to Julia, Tori's absorbed twin sister and secondary personality and Jade is married to Ashley, Tori's passive aggressive alt, we got medical clearance to get married that way, Jade argued for the legal opinion that medicating Tori to suppress her alternate personalities only harms her when they're this prevalent, the judge agreed on the condition that we as a poly relationship group do not have public group dates or outings, that it be one on one so for example me and Jade or me and Robbie or me and Tori or one of her alts, Jade and Robbie both agreed to it if it meant we could all technically get married as a system for a system, sorry if that's a little complicated for your brain" says Cat

"no to be honest it makes perfect sense, I assume neither you nor Daren have had super active systems as of late then" says Tallia

"indeed this would be Daren's last test to rid himself of his trauma riddled Jared Alt, neither Hiley nor Mariana have been active for a few years since I've been in and out of therapy" says Cat

"aww Hiley was always a good joker, did they reintegrate with you after therapy" asks Tallia

"for the most part yes, anyway you two lay on the couch, you're gonna be a bit woozy with such a high dose of my magic med" says Cat as Daren moves Tallia over to the couch

"why such a high dose for her, your dose is normally low" asks Eliza curiously

"my dad was a paramedic for many years before he got into art after losing a patient, with the condition her and I have there is a muscle in our neck that thickens up and visibly protrudes when we're close to coma risk, hers was getting bigger at a fast pace, you saw how fast she reacted, the low dose is specifically meant to keep fainting at bay, not bring you back, my dad had saved me three times when I was little by making a triple dose drink like what Daren asked me to do, it fires the brain back into action, wakes us up, I'd only given her a one and a half dose, her body would have reacted bad at three since its been years since she'd had any dose of it, my dad taught me many things about how to revive people, unfortunately CPR wasn't one of them" says Cat

"ok and about your music, it's kinda kiddish isn't it" asks Eliza

"yes and no Eliza, many artists get seriously sexualized, old me would have loved to have people see me as a sexually mature woman but I've seen many of my colleagues be afraid to do normal person things because they let themselves write music about even slightly sexual maturity topics to set themselves apart, two were kidnapped, one had their phone hacked, I do have mature songs out but under a fake name, specifically to separate it from myself, by my nature I'm very child-like Eliza, I'm too much in touch with that side of me to just let it go, besides if I could have kids my mom said it'd have made me a great mom, being able to truly understand their needs and intentions, unfortunately I can't have kids" says Cat

"oh I guess that makes sense, I can't wait for Christmas eve dinner tomorrow" says Eliza

"you guys know I'm not that expensive of a gift right" says Sadie

A/N: cliffhanger endings is becoming a real specialty of mine, gotta work on that, also yes Luke was charged with the distruction of historical artifacts
