"She is flying there where the swarm is thickest.
She is the largest of them all and never remains on the earth, but files up to the dark clouds.
Often at midnight she through the streets of the town
and breathes with her frosty breath upon the windows;
then the ice freezes on the panes into wonderful forms that look like flowers and castles." Jasmine read aloud to the small sleeping boy in the hospital bed as Elsa walked passed her.
Doctor Arendelle had a complete million questions in her head to ask the so called "Mermaid" and each one was because of curiosity. But then again she may have also been quite influenced by the way Walt worked around his own patients in Norway.
When he worked everything from the worst heart ailments to just the flu, it was quite surprising to see him make doctors trust the rather crazy decisions him made.
Basically Elsa was continuing that.
Sure there was some disastrous results with it as well like the old board of directors quitting and her massive blow up over that, she felt in that moment like Walt's dream died with there decision.
It was pretty much boneheaded from beginning to end but she can't deny it was her fault. Anna try her best to keep DIS INTERNATIONAL from falling further apart from then on until Elsa could resume her role within her own hospital.
Maybe it was the more mysterious cases within the hospital, that was what made Elsa feel the most alive.
Yet another lesson she learned from Walt and she felt like she could be quite the fast learner.
These cases she take though were not for the meekest of doctors and usually she just telling the problem wouldn't be half the fun really.
If "fun" involved everything from heart worm to a rather sickening case involving a flesh eating fungus. It was amazing she solved any of these with the patients still thankfully alive.
Pretty good according for a "poor" little rich girl, not that she cared what people said behind her back, she had the feeling that quite possibly Professor Sinclair had been through the same type if not more then her share of critics.
Still the questions lingered in her mind of if this was indeed the same woman she saw in the middle of a raging snow storm. And saying she was a prisoner to her or that she that couldn't solve her problem?
Such things like that were troubling and yet Elsa had no idea what the hell she was talking about
Boy, Elsa had imagined how much Walt would get kick out of her dream...
If it was indeed a dream!
"The snow flakes grew larger and larger,till at last they looked just like great white fowls.
Suddenly they flew to one side; the large sledge stopped, and the person who drove rose up.
It was a lady;her cloak and cap were white.
She was tall and of slander figure and of a dazzling whiteness.
She was the Snow Queen"
Helga opened her eyes almost painfully, which was a funny and new feeling to have basically. She saw what seemed to be another one of these doctors and they still wouldn't understand what was going on with her.
"I heard you don't want anymore tests done with you?" The new blonde doctor questioned her. Although part of her felt like she was very familiar looking which was strange all the more then suddenly going from Iceland to Japan somehow in one week.
Laughing abit, Helga answered her "It seems had a enough tests when i was asleep and as you can tell am no longer that..."
"Am supposed to just let out on to the streets of Tokyo with that attitude?"
Even through all of the pain she kept her sneer which the new doctor matched a smirk as she spoke up again "Am not having anymore things put in to me! Okay i just want to go back to Frankfurt and tell my friends that failed in finding Atlantis..."
The doctor sudden put her hands to her temple in what was obliviously not the response she wanted from her
"That would be quite hard to do given the fact Ms. Sinclair that you been dead for five years!..."
Helga give the look of confusion on her face as she looked over to her window overlooking the busy afternoon city. Things were not becoming clearer and her mind was filled with random images of pain and...people.
Strange unearthly people and yet there were in a fog in her mind as much as the pain that accompanied the images. As the blonde doctor spoke up again she snapped out a bit of her shock.
"Am truly sorry if no one told you any of this. Professor Sinclair but i have to get a working history to how your're seizures work.
Possibly someone within your family had epilepsy maybe? "
Helga nodded her head "no" as she tried to look quite angry at this doctor
"Nobody i know ever had a seizure in there life much less me!"
The blonde doctor put her warm hand to Helga's chest, the angry thoughts were quickly going away and replace by much more dirtier ones.
Toward this new and very beautiful woman, Helga Sinclair never know what to think when it come to her own personal feelings welling up in places she never visited before. There images always in her head but it was foggy as well.
She felt like a horrible person to dwell on something like having "feelings" toward another woman. Still it was shocking to find out that five long years of her life were gone since Iceland and she hadn't begin to think if her whole family thought she was dead!?. It was scary to the young scientist and her mind wasn't as sharp as she know it was, none of this made anymore sense to her since somehow coming here.
Suddenly she begin crying as the blonde doctor stop touching her as she looked away
"I don't know if i have any words of comfort for but...OH MY GOD!"
She said suddenly as Helga looked to see her tears were bleeding as well as her mouth.
And the feelings of pain were going through her whole body like sharp knifes on skin
"NURSE!" the blonde doctor shouted as Helga just screamed again...
"Anna, every part of that woman's body was bleeding" Elsa said still quite shocked as her sister covered her mouth, there were both back in the meeting room
"Elsa am...sorry if i don't tell you earlier about her but..."
"Now is not the time for excuses Anna, we need to get everyone we know on this...
I want a biopsy done on her brain...
Another E.E.G for any signs of epilepsy...
Get x-rays done..."
Elsa suddenly noticed the time "DAMN IT not now,...anyways have Kuvira set up a family history with Sinclair and keep her awake!"
Anna give her sister a curious look "Why don't you want her asleep then?" as she turned before leaving
"Because whatever happening was twice now when she was sleeping, Anna...please just trust me on this"
Yeah this was something Walt would enjoy...however painful
On the bottom floor near the lobby of DIS INTERNATIONAL lay the rather small board room, which Elsa found boring to be in. The idea to even have a board room was one of her former staff members, a boring little guy named Eisner.
Yeah, she wasn't really wanting to remember that doctor simply because she wanted to bodily rage inducing harm to him. Each time there was something wrong with the hospital, Eisner had a way to make it much worse.
Sadly the only happy memory she had of Eisner was when she fired over his mistake involving the hospital money...
Still Doctor Hans wasn't Eisner...he was much worst
"Ohhhh late again Doctor Arendelle!" spoke out a smooth cold voice as Elsa had walked in with the now flu free Aurora. As Elsa looked on with all the newer board members she had hired for the job.
Doctor Maleficent was something a young hot shot 26 year cardiologist and she smiled widely toward the two women.
"I would feel honored to hear the latest excuse for why we have to wait hours on end for our own CEO not showing up to her own meeting?" she said bluntly toward Elsa's face. As she just tried to look smug in her answers
"Am late because if none of you have heard about our own "little mermaid" here within the hospital..."
"Yes a fairly interesting if not complex case for any of us to look into" answered a older grey haired slightly build Japanese women, Aurora get up from her seat to bow nicely to her, as half of the board get up.
Elsa know her just as a old dear friend to Walt
"Doctor Akiara, it is such a honor for a noted government official from the Heath Ministry to come to the first meeting" Aurora intoned to as ,Akiara just found a side seat as all the board members sit down again
"...Well that everyone has had a such a warm welcome to each other, let us all get down to business" Hans spoke up as he want around the table. Elsa felt like her so called "friend" from Oslo wanted something and this would prove it.
"My friends, i have been trying and failing for weeks on working with some of my own cinical trials
Something to wow the public with..."
Elsa covered her mouth trying not to laugh at Hans suddenly "..And just what would the Japanese public enjoy with your're trials doctor?"
Hans stood his ground as Maleficent sharply eyed Elsa, disapproving of her behavior toward him. But otherwise he just smiled with his answer
"The miracle drug am perfecting, will give people with life threatening sicknesses of the brain such as Epilepsy.
Or with professional players with serve injuries to find life again, children with such pain could play again. Grandparents could fraction in ways like there young again" He eyed Akiara with those words and continued
Doctor Arendelle here and with the Ministry's approval ..."
This time Aurora with her slight Irish accent that interpreted his speech "I fairly new to your're work in Oslo, doctor but is there anything to worry about with this drug should things not go your're way?"
"Well now, i would be rather foolish to not think of such things.
But i'll stake my reputation and with what our chairman has the last say in it!"
Elsa give now a disinterest look toward Hans, since he did outright steal Anna's cinical trials idea.
But she as the head of the board could end him right here and now...but at the cost of losing support of the board and Hans's rather interesting handling of research in the field of medicine that drove him into being hired here. Still he was one to give results and this unnamed drug whatever it was would benefit people greatly, still it would be cutting off her own arm since not of the new members trusted the young doctor.
They know of her as one of the hardest doctors to just work with on any level but Hans still supported her...
She couldn't believe she was actually doing this
"Okay, i'll approve of testing this "miracle" drug with the added oversight of and given there own field of working with brain trauma. I would like however to make a suggestion to you Hans!..."
"What would that be, Doctor Arendelle?"
Elsa just seductively smiled at him or may have been her look of annoyance as she intoned "Don't ever try to kiss up to me ever again,Doctor...
This meeting is dismissed"
As everyone get up to leave, Elsa eyed Maleficent as she was about to talk with Aurora
"Maleficent, can i have a moment alone with you?"
Maleficent seemed surprised by her attitude "Of course"
After everyone left, Elsa had closed the board room door as she once again eyed her rather seriously. "What is your're own personal judgement on Doctor Winterguard?" she asked to the young woman.
"Well, um that your rather head strong...
Has a rather high standard to live to live up to...
Thinks that your're handling of what this hospital's rules stands for has been...lacking as of late...
And thinks that you get the wrong messages from the late Doctor Walt.."
Elsa begin to bitterly laugh but Maleficent wasn't getting the joke "I don't think anyone know how to handle a person like Walt, Hans included.
So its utter SHIT to believe he has any idea if am living under that man's shadow!..."
She always get quite emotional when people talked behind her back about that man. Maleficent on the other hand just looked disgusted at her as if she would ever tell on the man who was a great and dear friend.
Maleficent quickly get up to leave the room and she turned toward Elsa
"You know Hans is right about one difference between you and your sister..."
Elsa wasn't looking at her as she questioned "What difference?" still very bitterly
"...He said Anna cares about life, while you on the hand are like some venomous snake you rather watch life die all around you until there's nothing left...
Please tell me is that what Walt really truly taught you as the ultimate lesson in medicine?"
She closed the door behind her hard leaving Doctor Arendelle thinking
...she wasn't wrong in that statement
"Professor, i want to count with me just to know if your're awake.." shouted her new nurse on the x ray machine
Helga had been tired all week from the numerous quite unending tests, she had to take
Each time it been getting quite hard to do, even if she was a fully trained army girl?.
Why did she think army?, clearly that wasn't the right thing to think about that...
"1..."
She didn't understand how she bleed like that...
"2..."
Then Helga suddenly realized something...
"3..."
She was alone in the world but then was...
"4..."
KAI, how in the world could she forget Kai of all people?
"5..."
"GERDA"
A voice suddenly spoke out inside the machine with her, it couldn't be real, it couldn't be her!?
"6...huh..."
"Do NOT hide from me little Gerda.."
"7..."
"8...it is time we met!"
Suddenly Helga Sinclair was no longer in the hospital but outside in the middle of a beautiful modern looking city. The towers of office buildings looked down on the young woman she know she was.
Helga was dressed in a bright cheery looking kimono, her long hair was styled into a tower bun. Her face looked shocked to be back here...
Home, not the strange painful place she had just been too, that place must been a dream.
Here she where all her friends and family including Old Grandmother and...
"Well welcome back my DEAR... sweet...Gerda!"
She turned towards the voice as it was in the center of the lone city, she had known at first to just run away again...
But the figure before her would just try to capture her again...and again along the pain that come with it
She eyed the tall figure as it slowly walked toward her...
It was long and slim as well as very eerily beautiful in other worldly way. The figure was purely blue in color as well wearing a furred white cap, its long fingers reached out toward Helga's face with there sharp thick nails.
The figure's round big emotionless eyes looked directly into her soul, the figure had no mouth and yet Helga could hear her every word
The voice must of all sounded distant, yet sweet like the doctor in her "dream" did
The most amusing thing about the figure was the long flowing blonde hair unbranded, through the cap
Helga know well this figure was, as she spoke firmly standing her ground
"What do want with me...Snow Queen?"
The Snow Queen laughed loudly clearly heard through the empty streets of the city
"Straight to the point, little Gerda!, that's what i like about you..."
"All i want is Kai.."
"You CAN'T have him, my dear, the mirror choose him...NOT you.
Your're own stupid nature is what caused the beautiful Kai to fall into my hands, Gerda.
You believe that i would just allow him to go free because the girl he loves orders me to?"
Helga looked heart broken as tears come down her face "Please just allow me to see him, your're highness then i could repair that mirror.."
She don't what the expression on the Snow Queen's face was but the creature seemed to begin laugh at her
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
OHHHHHHHHH, what good are your're with promises then, when you haven't been around for the last five years!
Your're COMMAND the Snow Queen?...how foolish and weak your're truly are to think i would ever take orders from YOU.
A girl whose very life is owed to ME, and yet your'e a little devil would rather hide behind her weakling grandmother then face the facts of HOW wrong and fucked up her own life is.
I would rather you BEG me to kill him here and now..."
Helga suddenly felt pure rage in her voice "SHUT THE HELL UP, i am more braver then you!"
The Snow Queen now towered over her menacingly as she put her long claws to her face
"Yessssssssss, child this what i missed for those past long years, so i give you this..."
Suddenly both were atop the highest building within the city, as the tall figure take her by the hand, pointing toward the far mountains to the east
"See those mountain peaks dear,
They are the tallest and grandest in all the world, within it lays my palace and..."
"Kai!, he is right there, you trapped him"
"Smart girl, since i feel gentle with you for the time being, i give you this most wonderful gift..."
"What would that be?" she questioned as the Queen's eerie face drew near to her
"Time...
Today is the first year of the Fest of the Golden Deer, the seasons will come from all around the world to meet,
It was also the time when the mirror was created and when you failed before hand to take Kai...
But if not by the end of that annual holiday,
YOU are not within my palace and to solve my riddle then the mirror will finished what it started with him!"
"NO!" she cried out as suddenly a huge snow draft formed over the Queen as she watched helplessly like what happened before
"Clock's ticking little Gerda,
Best not be late to the party...or else"
"GET A CRASH CART NOW!" yelled out the lab tech as Helga begin to go into yet another violent seizure, as the nurses and doctors come running into the x ray room.
Elsa and Anna had been coming down the hall to go to lunch before shouts in Japanese and English.
Over it all, Anna shout at her "THE RESULTS COME BACK FOR EPILEPSY.."
Elsa "...AND?"
"THERE WHERE NEGATIVE, IT'S NOT EPILEPSY"
As Snow White run over to the cart, herself shouting orders in pure Japanese as Anna take to holding Helga's hand. "It will okay, Mein Herr.."
Just then a brown haired woman in yellow rain coat had entered into the hallway with tears in her beautiful eyes.
"HELGA!, please just be okay.."
Suddenly Elsa not knowing what else to do had grabbed ahold of the distressed woman,
and take her to the waiting hallway as the doctors continued there work.
"Am Doctor Elsa Arendelle, and i want to know why you know Professor Sinclair?" she was being kind to the lean woman whose voice, a thick British accent which was still in tears.
"My name is Jane Porter..."
Elsa bitterly smiled at her "And long have you been friends?"
Now it was Jane's turn to laugh
"AHAHA, your're mistaken there if that was what Helga was saying about me?...
Am her girlfriend"
Elsa was shocked to say the least, not that she was judging it was just not what she excepted from a woman full of surprises...
Somewhere, Walt was enjoying all this
There was still alot missing for this puzzle, she wasn't getting shown what seemed to be all signs pointing to Epilepsy and yet the results showed noting, therefore she was back to square one.
It wasn't a puzzle though...it was a riddle, and if she failed Helga would die
Quick author's note: Please review and tell me what you think so far of this story:)
