A/N: This will just be a short chapter but I wanted to give some sort of background regarding Apollon and the creation of the virus not only for the those who have not seen The Rain (on Netflix people!) but also for us who have. We have yet to see the why or how though we do know at least now that Apollon has plans for it.

I've decided that with Bella-Donna's identity creation spell/curse having erased her presence but her being the virus' baseline there has to be a reason for her to be connected, as such there is this chapter.

Chapter 7: Apollon with explain why Apollon still has the baseline from her and how it comes to be spread and create the Rain. All involving Bella-Donna does not exist in Canon and it is not actually yet known how the virus was developed aside from Dr. Andersen having been at the forefront of it. Several flashbacks regarding the virus and Rasmus occur throughout the series however I will just be using those from Episodes 1 here. I may integrate others in future chapters however.


Bella-Donna's Escape

Somewhere Roughly 6 Miles Above Germany

Frederik Andersen was in a plane flying first class back to Sweden as he looked over his private notes regarding Subject C7. He was amazed by the subject's blood samples and genetic anomalies. Its genetic sequencing was incredible and contained something never before seen. He typed the unique sequencing into his notes when suddenly he head was thrown back and he dropped the laptop.

"Ladies and gentlemen this is your pilot speaking. I've turned on the fasten seat belts sign on and have asked the flight attendants to be seated. A storm is forming and creating severe turbulence as such I would like everyone seated for their own safety. Please put any loose items away. I will be bringing us above the clouds for a smoother ride."

You could not have said so earlier. Frederik thinks furiously. When he finally manages to retrieve his laptop the screen is blank. "Damnit." He sits and tries to regain the project he'd been working on in his free time only managing to find partial notes on a genetic sequencing he had been developing for the hell of it. He decides to save it and work on it later.

Several years later, Dr. Andersen works in his office and believes he has finally made progress on his side project. A viral contagion that could change the world should it works as he believes it will. He has to meet with Sten and get the necessary funding. This will change the world.

After Rasmus Falls Sick

"It has to be now." Ellen tells her husband.

"We're not ready." Frederik tells her.

"By the time you're ready, he'll be dead!" she says from where she is sitting. "Do it now, Frederik. You showed me the simulations. The calculations say it works!"

"I will not inject my son with something I haven't researched thoroughly."

"No but there is nothing left to research. You know everything there is to know. You have to try!" They have no idea that Simone drawn by their voices now listens to the from around the corner, having left Rasmus' side after ensuring his oxygen mask was properly secured.

"We don't know if its a mutagen."

"Well what are we afraid of now? That it will kill him? He's already dying!" She tells him, refusing to cry. She has cried enough and not her husband has a way to save him she just needs to make sure he does. "All the calculations say it works. You showed me the simulations."

"But they are simulations!" Frederik tries to get it through to his wife.

"That simulate reality!" Ellen stands, furious her husband is not willing to do whatever it takes to keep their son alive. "Do it now, Frederik." She tells him before walking away.


Simone sits with Rasmus in the sun room of their home that has been converted into a room specifically for his care. The monitor steadily beeping and his wheezing filling the room. Frederik walks in with a large metallic briefcase that he sets on Rasmus' bed opening it to reveal a laptop embedded into it and some sort of vials beneath the keypad.

"Are you ready? The simulation are consistent." Frederik speaks onto the phone. "I'm going to inject 100 milligrams now and another 100 again in an hour. The virus should activate within 5 minutes. We should see results in 10." Frederik looks over to his daughter and shifts his head and body toward the doorway, silently telling her to go as she watches on. "No I'm not doing it at the hospital. They won't allow it. . .Yes." he says after listening "Yes we'll show them the results if . . . if it works." Frederik's hands shake as he prepares the injection ensuring no air is within it and he looks at his watch before taking a glance at his son. He takes a breath and injects the virus, praying against it all that it works.


"The world is sick. I can stop it. We can save millions of lives."

"What do you mean?"

"The world is sick. I can stop it."

"It's a virus. You don't know what the consequences are."

"It's time to release it."

"That's insane."

"It could save millions of lives." Frederik tells his wife. He knew what he had created. The virus would end all disease and he would be the one who had saved them all. This was his legacy.

"You're not even sure! Rasmus might be the only one it helps! You don't know! What if you're wrong?"

"I'm not! It kills multi-resistant bacteria. Think of all the lives that will be saved! We'll save millions, maybe more.


A/N: Who do you guys imagine as Ida? I kind of picture Lindsey Morgan.

Let me know what you guys think or if you have any suggestions.
