A/N – Thanks for the comments! Guest – I'm not remotely done with either one of them. I've been going back and forth and I spent many chapters with Jason suicidal over his relationship with Sam. The only diff. is that Liz had a one on one. Next joint session is Liz's turn to vent. I'm really not trying to beat a dead horse. The danger and insecurities are obviously why they both made the decisions they did and it did go both ways. Liz used the danger crap just as much as Jason did. Jason already addressed his side of that and so did Liz. Re: the not grieving with her part…..not sure how to touch that one because Liz and Lucky were the parents and the writer's purposely didn't allow Jason and Liz to grieve together. They hadn't been talking prior. He did come and see her and apologized and so did she. So, yeah, not sure about that or even what to say about it more (I address it somewhat after Jason's one on one session (Chapter 22). * Iris – Agree and Thank you! * Christica and Chicki'62 – I wish! Thanks!

By the way, in this fic, Georgie will be technically 28.

Chapter 19 - Awakenings

A week went by and the thawing was going well. Helena hadn't made a peep and Johnny and Georgie were starting to show signs of life. Jason was officially divorced. Elizabeth had finished her first painting in years and Victor was about to call with news that would send Robin and Jason on a very interesting new direction.

Jason grabbed his phone. "Hello?"

"It's Victor Newman."

"Hello, any news?"

"Yes. I know where the second lab is."

"Where?"

"South America."

Jason sighed. "Text me the address."

"The jet will be there in an hour. Stitch is on it. Robin can train him on how to take care of the patients."

"Thank you Victor."

"We'll talk about what to do with Helena and Victor later."

Jason ended the call and went to find Robin. She was giving the patients some injections of vitamins and minerals. "We have to go."

"What?"

"They found a second lab."

"I can't just leave them."

"Victor is sending Stitch. He's a doctor and he can help take care of them until we can bring them safely to Port Charles."

"Where is the other lab?"

"South America."

She sighed and looked down at Georgie. "They are going to wake up soon. I don't want her to be scared."

Dylan walked up to them. "I'll stay here with them." He handed her his phone. "Record a message to her."

Robin nodded and walked out of the room.

"Who do you think is at the other lab?"

"I don't know but I can't help but hope that Jake is there."

"I don't blame you. Elizabeth would be over the moon."

Robin came back in and handed the phone to him. "I'll go pack."

Jason left to pack as well.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Helena walked up to Victor C. "So, the clue has been sent?"

"Yes. I'm sure Jason knows by now."

Helena smiled. "Good, then my plan is working. Once our secret agent is back among the living, he'll start picking them off one by one and I can't wait to watch the fallout."

Victor C. smiled. He couldn't wait either. Mikkos would be proud.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Liz picked up her phone. "Jason."

"Hey, I'm about to go to South America."

"For what?"

"Victor found the second lab."

Liz moved to a quiet area of the lunchroom. "Is Cody going with you?"

"Yes. Victor's guards are still here."

"I can't help but worry that you are walking into a trap." Elizabeth knew Helena too well and she was clearly manipulating them.

"We know that's a possibility. I'll be careful. I promise."

Liz sighed. "I just want you home." It was hard going through the therapy without him here. She needed to hold him and know they were really still okay.

"I know. It's almost over. I promise."

"Okay, go get ready and text me when you get down there."

"I will. I love you."

"I love you too."

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Stitch arrived and Robin took him to the lab. He was astonished at how much they had accomplished. She showed him where everything was and gave him the clipboard she had been using to keep track of injections.

"They should be fine and wake up within the next twenty-four hours."

Stitch nodded. "I'll take care of them."

"Thank you. Georgie means a lot to my family."

She left and Jason said goodbye to Jake before grabbing his suitcase and heading to the car. He couldn't help but wish that he would find his son.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Nikolas answered his phone.

"Hello my dear."

He almost groaned. "What do you want?"

"Someone is grumpy today."

"Look, I'm done keeping your secrets. I want nothing to do with you."

"Oh Nikolas, really, sometimes you disappoint me so."

"I'm hanging up now."

"There are some people that are about to wake up and a few more still on the way. I think you'll be pleased."

Nikolas rolled his eyes. "Now I'm really hanging up. I don't want to know." He ended the call and threw his phone onto the couch and hoped to God it wasn't a Cassadine she was referring too. His behavior during the last few months had been abhorrent and he couldn't let it continue. He had to get himself back on track before he did something that he'd never be able to take back.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Jake sat next to Georgie. She was a pretty girl. He guessed she was somewhere in her late twenties. It was going to be hard for her since she had lost so many years. The more he remembered Helena, the more he hated her. The way she toyed around with people's lives really pissed him off. His phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hi, it's Nikki."

He slightly smiled. "Hey."

"Are you still in Canada?"

"Yes. I'll be here for at least a few more days."

"If you need anything, I'm sure I can get Victor to send it to you."

"I'm fine. How are things going with you?"

"Oh, it's never a dull moment around here."

"How's your M.S.?"

She liked that he cared. "It's in remission. I'm not drinking and just trying to keep myself busy. I've been doing some volunteer work over at the hospital."

"Good. Maybe I can come see you once I'm back."

"I would really love that. Please consider it. I can always come to you if you can't make it happen."

"No, I want to go there and meet everyone. I'll make it happen, I promise."

Nikki smiled. "Good. I'll look forward to it. I'll call you soon."

Dylan smiled. "Bye."

Georgie began to move a little.

"Hey, you're okay," he said softly.

Her eyes began to flutter and it took a minute for her vision to clear. "Who are you?"

"My name is Dylan McAvoy. I came to rescue you with Robin Scorpio and Jason Morgan."

"Robin?"

He nodded and pulled out his phone and pressed play.

"Georgie, you don't even know how good it was to find you. We had missed you so much. I need you to rest. Dylan and Stitch are friends and will take really good care of you. Hopefully, I'll be seeing you soon and I'll explain everything. I love you."

Georgie was a little confused because Robin looked older than she should. Her body felt like a weight was laying on it and she couldn't move. "What's wrong with me?"

"Well, your body is recovering from some trauma. Over the next few days, you should be good as new."

He had a nice smile and was handsome. She wasn't thrilled with the name though.

"Rest Georgie. I promise I won't leave you."

He took her hand and watched as her eyes fluttered shut. He texted Robin and let her know what happened. Hopefully, she would be back in order to explain everything to Georgie. He really didn't want to have to tell her himself. Robin had told him what had happened to her and explaining that was sure to cause her distress.

He looked up and Johnny moved a little. Stitch beat him to it and moved to his side.

Johnny frowned when he didn't recognize the man.

"It's okay. You're safe."

"Who are you?"

"I'm a doctor. Jason Morgan brought me here."

"Jason brought a doctor to me?"

His memory was fuzzy but he did remember that Sonny wanted him dead because he betrayed the organization.

"Yes." Stitch pulled out his phone and played a video of Jason.

"Hey, I guess you're wondering what the hell is going on. I'll explain the next time I see you. All you need to know is that your safe and I need you to rest. We'll discuss where we stand later. I'll talk to you soon."

Stitch put his phone away. "Try to sleep. Your body is still recovering and it will be a couple of days before you can walk."

Johnny shut his eyes. This was some crazy shit and he wondered if he was dreaming.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Elizabeth put some finishing touches on her painting. Cameron had finished his homework and was watching a movie. She liked that he wanted to come to the studio with her. He was showing even more interest in art and she encouraged it. The cutest thing was that he hummed sometimes when he painted just like she does. Her phone buzzed and she got a text from Jason stating that he had landed. She stopped and said a prayer, hoping that he would be safe and come home to her. Losing him was not an option.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

The car pulled up to the abandoned lab and they got up and were met with one of Victor's men who showed them inside.

"This I remember," Robin said as they moved further into the building.

"It looks familiar."

Robin quickly went to the lab and looked through the window. She could only see one bed. The other one seemed like it was pushed aside on purpose. "Let's get some suits on."

They quickly dressed and went inside. They could tell there was a man on the gurney in front of them and went to his side.

"Holy shit," Robin said.

Jason didn't know what to say. Why the hell would Helena save AJ of all people? "This doesn't make sense."

"I know. Michael has been spinning out of control. He'll be so happy."

Jason wasn't sure that they should even thaw out AJ after everything that had gone down. The last thing he wanted to deal with was fighting with him.

They moved to the right and there was a gurney and Jason dropped to his knees and started to cry.

Robin was stunned to see Jake laying on the gurney. "Oh my God." She knelt down and held Jason the best she could.

"I can't go over there. See if it's him, if it's possible." He wouldn't put it past Helena to try and trick them.

Robin nodded and got up and walked over the bed. He seemed so small. She had missed his cute little face. He appeared to fine. They wouldn't know if you would survive until they started the process. She would have to be a little more creative though because he was so little. Her mind was going a million miles a minute. "Jason, come here."

He got up and walked over. His hands were shaking as he reached out and touched his son. "My God Jake. Can you bring him back?"

"I hope so. It will be harder on his body due to his age. I'll have to bring him out of it slower."

"Just do it."

"Are you going to tell Liz?"

"I will but I want you to start the process. I'll wait a few days because I don't want to bring her here right away and he dies."

"I understand. I'll start the process on both of them."

Robin saw the look in Jason's eyes. "I know you are not the biggest AJ fan."

"Look, I know what I did to him was wrong. Really, I do. He just tends to cause so much damage."

"You have to do the right thing."

Jason shut his eyes and took a deep breath. "Fine. Bring him back."

Robin touched his arm. "I'll go prepare everything." She left the room and Jason moved closer to his son and touched his face.

"I love you Jake. I'm your dad and I promise I will never leave you again. I'm so sorry that I didn't watch over you and that I wasn't there for you. You're everything to me now. I need you to come back to us. Your mother needs you too. God she misses you so much. Please hold on."

Robin came back into the room and got everything started. Only time would tell if Jake would survive the process.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

The next day, Jason texted Liz instead of talking to her. He really didn't think that he could keep himself from spilling the truth and he needed to make sure that the drugs Robin was giving Jake would take and he would make it through. According to Robin, the first forty-eight hours were crucial. If he made it then he was going to fly home and bring Liz back personally. He didn't want to tell her something like that over the phone. He figured that he could have the meeting with Patrick and Sam and then afterwards, he'd tell Elizabeth what was going on and they would fly back.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Georgie woke up and watched Dylan sleeping in the chair next to her bed. He looked so peaceful. Her body felt stiff but she was able to move a little more. She lifted her arm and Dylan opened his eyes.

"It still works."

She looked over at him as it dropped down to the bed. "Apparently."

"You okay?"

"I think so. This is all so bizarre."

"I know you're going to have a lot of questions. I'll call Robin a little later and she can explain more."

Jason had called him and told him what was going on. He was stunned but happy that Jake was found.

"I remember that someone attacked me."

"That's true."

"I just have no memory past that."

Dylan leaned forward and grabbed her hand. "It's going to take some time to put the pieces together but you'll find out soon what happened."

"How old are you?"

"Uh, I guess I'm 39."

She frowned. "You think?"

"Long story."

"Do you live in Port Charles? Because I don't remember seeing you before."

"I do now."

She smiled. "Are you dating anyone?" He was handsome and she was in need of some gossip.

"I was dating Elizabeth Webber?"

Georgie's eyes grew big. "Get out."

Dylan chuckled. "Did you like her?"

"Yes. She's nice. My sister hated her though. They were kind of enemies." She had never thought Maxie was right about what she did with Lucky.

"It's hard to imagine someone hating her."

"Why aren't you with her?" The timing wasn't matching up in her head.

"Because she's in love with Jason Morgan."

Georgie frowned. "I feel like I'm sleeping beauty and I woke up ten years later."

Dylan smirked.

"By the way, how do you spell your name?"

He spelled it and chuckled. "You look relieved."

"Believe it or not, my ex-husband's name is Dillon. He spells it differently."

"Well I hope you don't hate me because of my name."

She smiled. "You seem like a nice person. I can't imagine hating you."

Johnny cleared his throat. "If you two are done, I could use a beer."

Dylan smirked. "I don't think you'll be drinking one of those any time soon."

Johnny groaned. "Seriously, I need some answers. How come Jason looked older? I mean he still has that whole bad boy thing going on but I think I saw grey hair."

Dylan grinned. "I might have spotted a few in your hairline."

"Bite your tongue."

Dylan's phone rang. "Thank God."

"What's wrong?" Jason asked.

"The tribes are restless."

Stitch walked in.

"Alright, grab a computer and we can do a face chat."

Stitch went into the other room and they set everything up. They pushed Johnny next to Georgie and then opened the software.

Robin and Jason could both be seen.

"Well look who it is," Johnny said trying to tread lightly.

"Hey pain in my ass. How do you feel?"

"Like I'm ninety. I'd like to know how I'm still here."

Robin smiled. "Welcome back O'Brien."

"Good to see you Scorpio."

"Georgie, you look awesome."

Georgie grinned. "I'm happy to see you but Johnny is right. We need some answers. How long have we been gone?"

Robin looked up at Jason and then back at the web cam. "It's 2015."

Johnny and Georgie's mouth dropped open.

"Are you pranking us?" Johnny asked.

"No. You both were killed, but Helena froze your bodies. She had doctor's working on a way to bring you back and she found it. I was brought in to finish the research and develop a protocol to bring you back safely."

Neither spoke for a long time. "Are you saying that I am 28?" Georgie asked.

Robin nodded. "Your body is the same but technically, yes."

Georgie started to cry and Johnny reached over and grabbed her hand.

"Jesus Morgan, this is a lot to deal with."

"I know. It's crazy."

"Are we going to be okay?" Georgie asked.

"Yes. I was frozen too and I'm fine," Jason said.

Georgie was shocked.

"It wasn't for as long as you, but I am a little different than I was before."

"In what way?"

"Well, my personality is lighter."

Johnny's head tilted. "I'll test you on that later."
