Sorry about all the mix-up. I had to upload another version of this because I thought it wasn't showing up. Come to find out, thanks to Xeen Cyr, I just had to switch the Ratings. I know some of you had this story on Alert. Please take a second to share your thoughts with me by reviewing! Thanks!

She earnestly wished the light would come back. Never being one to run away from her worst fears, Olivia tilted her head and called to the bird.

"What do you want with me? Why are you sitting there just looking at me? Is something bad going to happen?"

As soon as the words escaped her lips, the scene was replaced with pure darkness.

"Someone help!" she cried to an empty lab.

Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe

Sounds of laughter shades

of earth are ringing

Through my open ears inciting and inviting me

It started with a speed walk but turned in to an all out jog to the lab. If Peter's mind wasn't elsewhere he would have been surprised to see his father was jogging closely behind him.

"Someone help!" A voice cried from within the lab that regretfully sounded like Olivia, his Olivia.

Swinging the lab doors open with one mighty push, Peter stopped when he took the first steps in, his eyes scanning the lab for any sign of her. Four seconds later Walter leaned against the doors and huffed next to his son.

"Where is she, son?" Walter asked.

There. Peter ran toward the mature, dust ridden couch in the middle of the lab. Sprawled on the floor in a tangled mess next to the couch was Olivia.

Turning her over quickly it was apparent that something was seriously wrong. Grabbing her arm with one hand and the other cupping the side of her face, Peter called out to her. He was startled to see small pools blood form beneath his hand grasping her arm.

"Olivia. Olivia, wake up. Olivia!" Peter screamed and searched her face for any indication of what was going on with her. It looked like she was having a bad dream, but normally people wake up from bad dreams, right?

"The drugs, Peter, the drugs!" cried Walter finding a spot next to the two of them.

Peter looked at his father with perplexity. "What do you mean, Walter? Walter, focus!" snapped Peter, pulling the upper half of Olivia into his lap.

Walter blinked twice, broke out of his concentration, leaped up from his spot, and headed towards the other side of the room. If Peter wasn't so scared he would be angry, very angry with his father.

"Lysergic acid diethylamide, Peter. She took it. Just check her pupils and pulse," spoke Walter as he searched for the right syringe.

Peter casted his father a look of incredulity but quickly checked her pupils and pulse nonetheless. Her pupils were dilated and her pulse was running wild.

"Oh, Olivia," Peter whispered in a mixture of sorrow, disappointment, and fear.


Sorry, I can't help with the cliff hangers. Please share your thoughts with me. Also, anyone notice that in last episode when Olivia speaks to alternate-Charlie that there's a scar on his face? Nick Lane had that same scar. Anyone care to dissect that? I have my own thoughts.
