Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

I was watching this awesome tribute to the 1989 flick of batman with michel keaton and jack nicholson, and I thought the song (dance with the devil by breaking benjamin) would fit very well with this chapter

Some of the lyrics of the song will be used as dialogue as henry, jane, anne and other born again souls remember their past lives.

warnings: SPOILERS AHEAD FOR ANNE AND JANE.

~O~O~O~O~O~

"I believed in you, I can show you that I can see right through" Jane cried at her brother Thomas, she warned him not to get close to Mary. She was the King's daughter after all. She may be a bastard but she was nonetheless the King's prizeless posession, and everybody knew that nobody took the King's posession without asking for her hand in marriage first.

Mary was out of his reach, Thomas should lower his head in defeat but he wouldn't. He decided Mary Tudor would not escape his grasp that easily.

"You are crazy brother, the King will have your head mark my words!" Jane swore before disappearing in a fog of mystery.


"Say goodnight as we dance with the devil tonight

Don't you dare look at him in the eye" ~Breaking Benjamin/ Dance with the Devil

Connie looked at all the people present outside the Medical Ward. There was Detective Lupo, her partner Mike Cutter, Alex Cabbot, Bernard, Van Buren and the SVU Detectives. It was an unusual time for them to come together in this time of crisis. Nobody trusted each other anymore, and it was all because of a high insomnia rate among them. Nobody wished to talk about their dreams, they were all very private but Connie could tell by their looks they had all been subject to the same visions as her.

How much they had been exposed to them, she could not tell.

She moved closer to Mike, asking him about Jack's condition and whether they had any information about who was his attacker,

Mike shook his head, "We don't know yet if he is the same one we are after if that is what you men." he pointed out to the SVU Detectives. "I think they know more than they are letting on."

"Cabbot would have informed us" Connie said.

"Maybe she doesn't want us to get involved." He said.

She arched her eyebrows in confusion, it didn't make sense any of what Mike was accusing Cabbot of. "Why would she do that? Our boss has been shot, any information to the case she should tell us"

"It just happens that she belongs to the most secretive precinct that has stalled many investigations, not to mention they often go in favor or the defense and were responsible for Novak's firing"

"Novak brought it on herself" Connie said harshly defending Alex.

"Really?" Asked Cutter skeptical. "You don't really believe that Con. These detectives know more than they should, and we are going to get the true from them" He said finally moving over to talk to Cabbot who beckoned him to speak to Olivia and Elliot. Connie sighed and looked over to their own Detectives, she could tell they had no clue of what was going on.


"Have you danced with the devil by the pale moonlight?"~Batman/Joker 1989

Jane Seymour had arrived to Court again, this time she wouldn't be lady in waiting to Her True Majesty Katherine of Aragon, but to Anne Boleyn, the "scandal of Christendom". Jane swore with both hands on the bible on orders of the Queen and her Chief Lady In Waiting Nan Seville, that she would always be loyal to her true Majesty and do nothing to endanger her or the Crown she served.

Anne's cat like eyes scanned at Jane carefully. She seemed meek and weak at first sight, but looking closer Anne could see something hidden in the woman's eyes, ambition perhaps? Desire? Anne decided she would have to be watched closely.

"Our only danger is the King chooses a maid or lady at Court we cannot control, one whose desire is to be like you" Her father's words ringed the mental alarms in Anne's head. Could Jane Seymour, this pale and meek thing, possibly be this girl?

Would she seek the throne and walk over her as she had with the Spanish mare?

Only time would tell ... if (that is) Anne let her.

Fate's Agents watched closely as Connie Rubirosa returned to her dark blue car and drove off.

"You think she will be a problem?" The elder agent asked his partner, "Rosa".

Rosa nodded, Connie was certaintly, she voiced over to "Carl" an anomaly, the strangest they had encounter. Existance was at risk because of one woman's intrusion. It was written by the hand of destiny that Henry should either choose: Anne or Jane. There was no other vintage, either Anne or Jane would have in the end the King's heart.

"You think we should kill ..."

"No" Rosa snapped quickly turning to face Carl -"We have greater things to worry about, don't forget my husband is still egocentrical and fickle in his likings, he is either waiting to choose the whore or the pale girl Seymour" she pointed her finger out to the next lawyer who walked after Connie from the Hospital building. Alexandra Cabbot.

So he thought, this woman is one of the two our "new Majesty" must choose, fate really was gentle to the rival turning her into a greater beauty

"You shouldn't stare too long at her, she might notice and you don't want him" following Cabbot was now Cutter he was busy in his conversation with her, but despite Carl's curiosity, Rose pointed out at the woman on the far left, Detective Benson, "no wonder"

"What?" he asked.

"After all these years my Mary has had time to think about her father, she used to love him and would have given the world for him, now she has turned her rage for the men who have hurt her in the past and in this time to her dual sense of justice. Mary always wished to be an agent of fate, she thinks she is doing justice but she is still dealing in black and white." The old Queen chuckled. "Things never change, you can change a person's face, nationality and her destiny but the person itself will never change"

Thomas Boleyn arched his eyebrows with interest. "Funny I could have said the same thing about you Princess Dowager"

She spat: "If you and your daughter hadn't ruin everything you and me would not be stuck in this time continuum distress. My daughter would have made a great Queen, but you and your whore daughter and adulter son the sodmite had to ruin everything! Now look at my daughter, lost without an identity, she can't decide if she can trust her father, her real father from her real past anymore"

"And if you hadn't been so stubborn about your position you could have avoided your daughter much suffering." He replied, his words cutting through Katherine's soul greater than any knife or past suffering she had been subjected from Henry's denial.

He had a point, but the old Queen would never admit to it, she was too proud to admit that she could have been wrong, that she was in parts responsible for her daughter's suffering. Nonetheless; right or wrong Thomas Boleyn or "Carl" was right to be worried about fate's anomaly: Connie, years of planning from Fate and Destiny could be overturned by her existance.

They had shot Thomas Moore, a task that wasn't difficult for the elder Boleyn to do, he never liked Moore, he saw him as a stiff and a man without no personality or true intellect whatsoever. A looser and a close minded, it was he who was the heretic. He could have shot him square in the chest if he wanted, but "Rose" (Katherine) stopped him before he was about to deliver the killer blow. The woman still had feelings for this old fool.

She was right, looking at Cutter smiling at Alexandra Cabbot, a different smile one of amusement and interest; some things really never change.
