A/N: Hello my wonderful readers. Guess who's going to have yet ANOTHER void incident. That's right, I wasn't lying about this rest of this story going very void heavy. Essentially once she learns how to use it right she's going to be using it A LOT, so get ready for that. We are going to have some interesting things happening with Five-0 as well, so don't worry we're going to see more of them. This particular episode (Episode 17) is a long one, story wise I mean, I think it's like 5 chapters, starting here. I'm trying to get through this quickly, I only have 7 more episodes to write out and then we're onto season 7 but it's definitely looking like I'm going to wrap up season six closer to 300 chapters, but as I said I'll keep you posted on the progress. Don't forget to leave me a review, tell me what you're looking forward to seeing, and I'll see you guys on Friday!
Chapter 251
They were all at the McGarrett house, getting briefed on the newest threat to their team. Steve was passing around pictures his contact had gotten while Danny sat with this phone. His phone, which had not been the same since he had accepted the help that had been presented to him, and had essentially been rendered useless until whatever it was running finally stopped.
Everyone got a look of the surveillance stills of a man none of them recognized in a blue suit.
"So this is the guy who's after us?" Grover asked.
Steve nodded. "Yeah."
"Hmm, who is he?"
"He's Federal Prosecutor, Robert Coughlin."
At that everyone's eyes whipped up, everyone but Danny who already knew. "Coughlin?" Chin repeated.
"Coughlin," Steve confirmed. "Yeah, he's Rex's brother. Recently transferred here from Boston."
"How do we know him?" Abby asked. She was new, she wouldn't the history so they'd forgive her for asking silly questions.
"Rex Coughlin was an IA detective who investigated me a few years back."
Abby seemed slightly concerned which was fair because Steve figured Chin hadn't told her about this yet. Their relationship was super fresh after all and I mean, Rowan had been hiding things from him even after they got together. But Chin was much more understanding that Steve had been so maybe it was just the newness of the relationship that had kept his past with IA hidden.
"What for?"
Chin wouldn't even look at her. "Cash that went missing from the evidence room."
"Which Chin was exonerated for," Kono explained quickly.
"And then more recently he accused me of protecting Gabriel Waincroft." Chin finally lifted his eyes to hers as if assessing what she was thinking. Luckily she didn't look too horrified. Just contemplative. "The whole thing was a witch hunt. In Coughlin's eyes, I was guilty until proven innocent."
Grover nodded. "He was so desperate to bring Chin down he made a deal with the devil to do it."
"What do you mean?"
"Rex cut a deal with Gabriel in exchange for Gabriel agreeing to testify against Chin," Kono explained.
"Right, but while the deal was being hammered out, Rex made the mistake of having Gabriel temporarily transferred out of Halawa and it ended with Rex getting a pencil in the eye and Gabriel escaping."
"But that's not what happened is it?" she asked and they turned to her. "It wasn't Gabriel…"
Steven sighed. "Yeah… that… we didn't know it at the time but uh… Wo Fat sent a player down to deal with the situation. He sent him down with proof that Gabriel had transferred the money out himself before Chin got involved but uh… he had chased Coughlin away before… and Coughlin had been warned not to come back and… well… Wo Fat doesn't take too kindly to people who disregard orders."
"So it was his man who stabbed Rex in the eye," she said. "The man Rowan sent down…"
"No. No. Rowan was getting extradited to Colombia at the time. It wasn't her. It was Wo Fat. Wo Fat sent the order…"
"Through her app," she finished for him. "Which is where we got most of this info…."
Steve looked down at the pictures and then up to Danny. "Yes… well… uh… Sandy hit me with a data dump after I got cleared by the FBI in Jersey. Hit me up with all his details and his motives. By the looks of it she had been monitoring the situation for a while. Either she just got cleared to do something about it, or it's become serious enough for her programming to kick in."
"I got it cleared with my contacts to make sure it was all correct and it is. He's the one after us."
"Okay… okay… but you said… you have all said that Rowan's app went down. Why… if it went down… is it back again and why are you letting it help you?"
They all exchanged glances before settling on Steve who ran a hand over his face. "You're right. Yes, yes the app went down. To fake Rowan's death he activated a protocol they call the Captain America Contingency Plan. According to my sources he activated it on what they call DEFCON mode, which essentially did everything he needed it to do and then it self-destructed."
Abby's eyes turned down to the pictures on Steve's coffee table and Steve sighed. "None of us were aware that the app was back online until it intervened in a hostage situation that Jerry was involved in. I went back to my source and found out that a base version of the app had been activated, that no longer tracks Rowan, but tracks all of us so she knows that we're safe."
"Well… most of us," Kono added with a wince.
Abby turned her eyes to all of them as if wondering who the odd person out was, other than her and Steve forced himself to admit: "It's me. Sandy tracks everyone but me. It was part of the deal Wo Fat made with the app's creator."
"So… what do we do about this guy?" Grover asked tapping the picture on the coffee table.
"Well, first of all, we need to figure out if this is an official investigation or just a personal vendetta," Steve said. "If it's an investigation, like I think it is, Robert's gonna have people working for him."
"Why do you think it's an investigation?" Abby asked.
Danny put down his phone where a red screen was permanently stuck and a little white wheel was spinning. Under it read the words: Please wait while I attempt to locate mole.
The app was trying to locate someone. A mole, a mole in Five-0?
"What… what is it doing?" Abby asked.
"It's clearly attempting to locate the mole in our organization," Steve said and Abby looked utterly horrified.
"Okay, to explain, I'm gonna take it back to the beginning," Danny said. "I got out of that meeting, it gave me the data dump, and gave me an option. Send forward to Professional, or Ignore. When I was at the hospital with Steve we spoke about it…"
Abby's horror became more deeply painted upon her face as if each and every confession took her deeper into the realm of concern for the people she worked with. "And you guys sent it to this Professional person?"
"Well the app has codenames," Jerry said. "Chin is Codename Shotgun, I'm Codename Elvis, Steven is obviously Captain America…"
"Rowan is the Professional," Kono told her, cutting Jerry's unnecessarily long explanation off, and then turned her eyes onto Steve, understanding immediately what choice he had picked and why.
"Let me guess, you thought… if you picked Professional it would put you in contact with Rowan," Grover said and Steve nodded.
"Yeah, that's what we thought," Danny admitted. "Instead my phone went red and that little wheel went up, can't get it off my phone. It's been at it for days and it doesn't usually take this long so…"
That was either really good or really bad, neither of them knew which one it was at this point. "See, I'm leaning towards an investigation of some sort because Sandy's looking for someone. And according to her it's a mole, so that means we have someone watching us, and I don't know how deep. Sandy running this long isn't good, either she can't find the person, which is ridiculous cause Kong loaded her with a sledgehammer for a firewall chipper, or, Rowan's sitting on info for some reason."
Abby stared at the red screen. "And Rowan… what do you think she'd do with that information? If she had it?"
"Well… judging by Rowan's sudden violent streak… if she gets to this person before we do… she uh… she might well… kill them. Which we don't want. So it's very important that we find this person first."
Abby's wide eyes stayed on the phone Danny had left on the coffee table by the pictures. She looked afraid and Steve understood. It was a lot to take in. An illegal app with connections to the underworld that was tracking all of them, it was terrifying prospect. He didn't know how else to explain it, he didn't even know how to assure her that this was actually just a kindness and not from a place of malice.
But even Steve could see that this was getting wildly out of hand.
H5O-H5O-H5O-H5O
It turned out that Dr. Pierce was correct, he did, in fact, have a particle energizer at home. And the results were, where Wo Fat was concerned, completely catastrophic, for when Rowan had the right amount of energy levels it was easier for her to open the void. There was no pain, there was no slogging through the weight of a million strings, and they were pretty sure Steve wasn't affected either because he hadn't interviewed since. Rowan had become… powerful once more.
Wo Fat was worried about giving Rowan power like that again, not after what happened last time. He gave her too much power, she tried to take on Waincroft by herself and she had taken the brunt of the pain and fire. Wo Fat didn't want her to go through that again.
But with ease of access to the void she had gotten more than a strong hand on using her powers.
She could take an object and throw it through the void and out at a desired target. She could pull an object to her. She could create a portal that took you into the void and then use the strings to pull herself elsewhere. She admitted that she had the ability to see the strings, sometimes she had to concentrate hard to get them, but she knew that she could use them to pull out more favourable outcomes, something she no longer had any problems doing. This had been particularly useful with broken objects, but also how she had been getting herself free of her bindings. With the energizing she also had no problem seeing strings anymore, which was making her psychic abilities much stronger too.
But probably the most useful power was, if she had been to the place before, she could open a portal just to that place. She was in the habit of pulling that void at a door so she could open the door and walk somewhere else.
It annoyed Wo Fat to no end as she kept doing it when they were arguing.
They argued a lot now. Mostly about her powers, which were evolving and getting stronger with each hit of the particle energizer she took. He didn't want to be like Steve, who also didn't like the void, but he was still fresh off Rowan's last burn from power, and this burn wouldn't land her in a room getting tortured. This could get her lost in the expanse of space. How the hell would he save her from that?
To be fair, Dr. Pierce had rigged together several different tactics to keep Rowan in line. He had rigged up a gun that he called a Disrupter ray. This was similar to the energizer that was, instead, a diffuser of sorts. It was set to de-energize any bosons it hit, which they had already proved could turn her powers off essentially. He then made the mistake of letting Conejo work on the gun design with him and it turned out looking more like a rifle with a scope and everything so he could hone in on her, and that star shaped scar on her back between her shoulder blades.
A scar she said wasn't from an actual injury. A scar that appeared after Steven severed the connection between her and whatever was pulling her into the void. She called it the source of her powers and whenever she needed the void, she sent her energy out and into that scar.
Like that wasn't terrifying.
The other thing that Dr. Pierce had rigged up was a metal braided cord, impervious to the extreme cold that could survive going into the void. This cord had then been tethered both to the floor to keep Rowan from moving, and to specially created vests, Kevlar vests that Wo Fat had stolen from a Police equipment supplier, that both he and Conejo could wear to keep them in place if any major incidents were to happen.
He was also working on creating grounders. Portable poles, like pylons, that could hold onto the cord and still keep them in the right realm, but those had not been completed yet, which meant the cord had to be connected to something strong enough to hold them in, at the point walls or floors.
This was a lot to take in, in such a short amount of time. It was hard to believe that just a few weeks ago his sister was just… his sister. He never once dreamed that the reason she was so guarded about her past was because her past wasn't in his reality. Though it did explain why everything she spoke about was not findable in his reality.
It was also a good thing that he had witnessed all of her powers first hand, because if she had just up and said that to him without any proof he would have thought that all the trauma of her multiple kidnappings had drove her batty.
But that wasn't his problem at that moment.
As he predicted, once Dr. Pierce had confirmed she could do the party tricks, he immediately wanted to try and see if she could use her powers to… well… to fight.
At first it had started with small things. Like shooting her with nerf guns, or pelting her with paper, but Rowan couldn't get a handle on the combative use for her powers. She just kept getting pelted with paper and nerf pellets. He was baffled. He didn't understand how she couldn't seem to hone in on her powers to protect herself. But it wasn't until she answered his questions with a casual shrug and a Well I don't care about me, that he pulled out the big guns, which coincidentally was the exact moment that Rowan showed some real promise.
The big guns were not real guns per say, but instead a goddamn cross bow that he had pulled out from behind his desk and then proceeded to shoot an actual bolt from, not at her but at Wo Fat.
They had just come into his office. Rowan had a coffee in her hand and had been looking at Conejo who was telling her a joke. But, the second that bolt had been fired, she dropped the coffee, her hand whipped out instantly, opening a portal in front of Wo Fat's chest that the bolt disappeared into. Her other hand whipped to the side where a second portal opened, the bolt flew out and lodged into the wall.
The whole incident was seconds, but it proved two things to them. One, Rowan didn't care about herself, she cared about other people. Which meant the key to unlocking her powers was to threaten the boys. And two, it proved that Rowan could use her powers defensively, and if she could use them defensively she could use them offensively.
The key to unlocking her ability to do so was for her to believe that her family was in danger. Dr. Pierce was going to have to teach her to channel her emotions so she could use her powers at all times.
And that was what they had been practicing for the last few days. All culminating in this one test.
With Conejo's help Dr. Pierce had rigged up four automatic shooting stations in his testing room separate from his lab, all of which would be eventually shooting at Rowan. Wo Fat was highly uncomfortable with this, but Conejo seemed to think that Rowan was capable so he shoved down his worry and reluctantly let her go.
Rowan stood in the middle of this contraption staring down four Gatling guns set to an automatic timer, nothing too quick, but the plan, at one point, was to have all four guns firing at her at one time to see if she could handle it. But if she couldn't handle two, they weren't going to be progressing to three.
She had given all control to Wo Fat, he got to decide if she took heavier fire. Conejo, had been strung up with that specifically braided metal cord, one that could handle the cold of the void, to go and grab her if necessary.
Even with all the precautions, Wo Fat was still uneasy about this.
Rowan was in the middle of what Dr. Pierce called the experiment room. It was a specially created room where he could monitor and test his theories in a controlled environment. Rowan had her own vest and her own tether keeping her firmly attached to the ground. There was a single wall of readers, all set to track her energy levels and see what spiked and what didn't. Everything else had been moved out. There was a window to observe through, a room that Dr. Pierce called the Control room. It had all the buttons, could control all the variables, but Wo Fat didn't trust his sister with variables anymore, not now that he knew she could alter them.
And he was never going to play cards with her again now that he knew she could count them.
"Okay, Wick," Dr. Pierce said through the microphone. "We're going to start off easy. The gun on the west wall is going to shoot first…"
Wo Fat slammed him aside to speak to her. "The wall on your left," he said. "He means the wall on your left."
Rowan nodded and Wo turned back to Dr. Pierce. "She's doesn't know west from east. You have use left or right or something else."
Dr. Pierce immediately noted it in his little notebook. He really liked to write in that notebook. If this went sour, he was going to have to take that book from him.
"Okay, Wick, get ready, firing at your left… now…"
The gunshot rang out, Rowan already had a hand up, the portal opened was small, just the size of her palm her other hand extending and throwing it out a separate portal.
"Good, trying again, this time from the right."
The shot rang out and once again she managed to deflect.
"Very good!" Dr. Pierce cried.
They did this a few more times, tried from all angles before he said: "Are you good to try two?"
And of course Rowan responded with a quick: "Yes."
When the two shots fired at the same time she had a larger shield, both bullets were portaled away from her and into the wall across from her.
The two shots ended quickly, soon he wanted to try three. Which Wo Fat okayed with much reluctance. When three was a proven success he quickly moved to all four.
Then… "Alright Wick we're going to try a rotating shoot out, we won't tell you were they're coming from anymore…"
"No," Wo snapped. Was the man out of his mind? "No. Not happening."
Dr. Pierce turned calm eyes to him and Wo Fat knew that the man was going to try and hit him with some science-y logical excuse for doing this. Normally Wo would go for that, but not this time, not when it came to Rowan's life.
"In real life she won't know where the bullets are coming from," he argued. That was true, but Wo Fat didn't want her in a situation where she was going to have to block bullets. He didn't want her having to know how to do this at all. "Can you ensure that she won't end up in another situation where she gets shot at?"
Wo Fat frowned, because he was right. He couldn't ensure that. Rowan was loyal, she was a ride or die kind of girl. She was gonna jump into a bunch of a dangerous situation simply to protect him and Con. Just like she had done for Steven.
"Okay," Rowan said to him, easily as if this wasn't dangerous stuff.
"Alright, we're going to start… now…"
Wo Fat winced, the first shot came from behind her. She whirled around and blocked it. The second from the side, she also blocked easily. The third came from the front, she also had no problem deflecting.
Wo Fat had started to relax, even in the room, Con was relaxing too. Leaning back against the
"Good job, mami!" he cried. "We're gonna be unstoppable."
And that was the moment. The moment right there. Conejo never should have spoken to her because the second he did, she turned. She turned just to smile at him, proudly and a shot rang out, taking her right in the chest.
Both Wo and Conejo burst out in screaming. The same word. "No!"
The power of the shot sent her flying back, but Rowan didn't fall. She hit some kind of barrier, her eyes went from blue to white to jet black. For a second, the barest of seconds, Wo Fat swore everything around them froze. Then her hair started doing that floating thing that meant she was going full void and Wo Fat knew immediately that shit was about to go down.
Instantly a scream ripped from her, this human screech that sounded more like a bird call than her actual voice. A loud ripping was heard and in an eruption of all black strings, a dome encased her and everything went haywire all at once.
H5O-H5O-H5O-H5O
Chaos hit the lab the second the dome enclosed upon Wick.
Oz was already on his feet. He attempted to open the door, but a vortex had descended upon the lab, an electrical storm of great magnitude. From the dome flew bolts of crackling electric lightning, the same kind of orange electric bolts that used to split Wick's skin apart. Despite it being, probably very dangerous, Oz attempted to move towards it, only to be thrown back. When he realized that he couldn't get through to Wick he groped around until he found Con's tether and pulled the breathless man back into the room before he shut the door.
"She got hit, she got hit and she went crazy," he cried. "I swear I saw wings, wings of all black strings erupt from her back before the screaming started."
He was breathless, he looked singed, but he was all ready for the next phase, whatever that be. The two men were obviously very good at adapting.
"We have to get her out," Oz said. Which was the obvious course of action, the problem was finding a way to do it. "Switch with me, I have an idea."
"An idea?" Trenton asked moving towards them. "I can try the atmosphere dampener but I don't think it'll work on her now…"
"No, we need the disrupter," Oz said instead taking the vest from Con and slipping it on, tightening it to fit his narrower chest. Con ran off to get the gun while Oz prepared himself to do whatever he had to do.
"What is the plan?" Trenton asked but Oz wasn't paying attention, Wick screamed again, that inhumane screech that wasn't really hers but coming from her. The wince that crossed Oz's face was brief but enough for him to know that he was very worried for Wick.
"I'm gonna use the disrupter to disrupt the field to get in to her. If I can get in to her, I can pull her out, simple."
No, not simple. The disrupter was meant to be a decharging ray, he had no idea if this was going to work on whatever the hell this was. He opened the door again and the wind from the vortex came at them. He was clearly attempting to get a better look at Rowan. She screamed again, this time sounding a little more like her.
This one came with words. Help me. And Steven.
Now that got Oz's attention he went ramrod straight and for a second Trenton was sure he saw a flash for light coming from the experiment room and then horror painted his features.
"Steven?" he whispered.
Trenton had to push him aside to get to the doorway, he really squint to get a good glimpse as to what was going back to but he was right. Steven McGarrett was standing in the middle of the warp zone, wading his way through the cacophony of strings to get to Wick.
The same Steven McGarrett, who had deported them. The man who Trevor was certain was keeping Rowan from them. The appearance, the confirmation that the Steven who had chased them away was the same Steven who was connected to her, who had found her when she fell and grounded her to this world, effectively messing with every single experiment Trenton had ever performed involving Rowan, was enough to prove that this was his Rowan. This really was Rowan Pierce and if this man got his way he'd take Rowan away from him again.
Steve's hands merely had to touched her and the black strings all changed color, straight to that red. Once he had the strings back to red, he had Wick in his arms and the two were wrapped up in both each other's arms and the red strings.
"NO!" he roared. "Con! Con! CON!" he shouted and then Con was sprinting towards him gun ready to go. It was a Hail Mary, it was meant to depower Wick's bosons if she ever got too powerful, and it had worked on her before, but he didn't know if would reach through the shield that was around her.
"What, what is it?" Con asked when he got to Oz's side.
"Steven's here, get me in there now!" Oz shouted.
"Steve? Steve, Steve? He's here, how the hell is he here?"
"I unno, you think I know?" Oz shouted back at him.
"She probably called him, if he's connected to her and she's in a state of panic she probably used it to call him here."
As he talked the boys got themselves ready. Con getting the rifle set up, Oz getting himself ready to charge a force field. "Means he can try and take her back, right?" Oz asked him, his eyes never leaving Wick and Steve. Trenton nodded first, realized that the man wasn't looking and then verbalized the confirmation. "Yeah that's not happening."
They both got low, Con was propping the gun up like he had done this a million times, using his forearm to brace. Oz was in a racing start position. The two took in the shield around her, the man holding her to his chest, and Con seemed to find some grievances with the plan Oz proposed.
"Oz…"
"I know, I know," he said. "Look, you're gonna shoot it right when I get there, make a hole."
"What if it doesn't make a hole?"
"Then I'm running into that thing face first. So let's hope it works."
Both Oz and Con nodded and then Oz took off sprinting head long at the force field. At the right moment Con pulled the trigger and a hole opened, just big enough and just long enough to get Oz into the void. He moved, slowly, struggling to get through the strings to Wick, and as he did the red strings around him turned to pink.
Steve and Wick were lost, Steve was holding her, tightly to his chest, shielding her. His eyes, white like Wick's used to be, clearly as much as creature of the void as she was.
Wo Fat put a hand to her shoulder, he tried to pull her from him, but Steve's hand came out and the red strings turned on Oz and pushed him back.
"Shit, shit, shit," Con said, charging the gun up again, twice its usual dose. He set up to shoot again and then before Trenton could ask what he was doing, Con shot twice in rapid succession. The first opened up force field, the second shot through the hole and hit McGarrett in the shoulder.
This hit sent him staggering. This hit got him to drop his hold on Wick. It stopped the red strings from writhing and it allowed Oz to grab Wick.
But once Oz had Wick in his arms, Steve had regained his composure, he reached out again, went to fight Oz for Wick and Oz responded by decking him so hard he knocked him down. With Wick in his arms, he struggled to move back to the room, even with Trenton and Con pulling on his cord to get him back.
They got him to the entrance, both men grabbing onto Oz's pack and fairly pulling him through the door. Together he and Wick toppled to the floor and in the room the vortex slowly began to collapse, and Trenton could tell this was going to be exactly like a black hole, which meant another explosion was going to come.
Steven still stood there, the portal energy closing around him his arms outstretched towards them, the red strings began to gather and move as if readying for another attempt to grab Wick.
"GO HOME!" Oz shouted his hand whipping forward as if attempting to push him away and the red strings at Steve's command went pick, The pink strings slammed into Steve's chest and then he was thrown back through the closing void.
The black hole eventually closed, sending a shock wave through the room, destroying what was left of his equipment, but Oz and Con had already shut the door and there were unaffected. Silence hit them as Oz held Wick to his chest, heaving, trying to catch his breath. Wick's otherworldliness slowly began to fade from her, her eyes, no longer black, were shut, her breathing going back to normal.
"Where was she shot?" Oz asked, feeling at her body for any other injury other than the bullet wound she should have sustained.
"Shoulder, I think," Con said and the two of them searched. There was no wound, no blood, just a simple white starburst on her left shoulder, mimicking the one on her other shoulder. "Is she… how is she…"
They both turned their eyes to him and he blanked because he wasn't sure what happened.
"I… I guess she pulled a different string for a different outcome."
Oz looked down to her and when his gaze hit him again the darkness there scared him. "That's it. We're done here."
Trenton knew better than to argue. Knew better than to try and ask them not to stay. He had a feeling that if he told them he now knew exactly who this was and all he wanted to do was just… talk to her… as his daughter, they'd answer with violence.
So instead he watched this man pick up his daughter, his daughter from a different world, and walk away with her in his arms. He knew, instinctively, that if this man disappeared with Rowan he'd never see her again. He wanted to stop him, but this wasn't Steven McGarrett of Fieve-0 with the law to hide him, this was a man that most likely wouldn't hesitate to kill him and probably his whole family simply to keep Rowan safe.
So what was he to do? How was he going to get her back now?
H5O-H5O-H5O-H5O
Hello and welcome to the Sanctuary Network, Anna Novick. You have entered the home base of the allies of Professional with the clear intent to harm. I have been directed to inform you that if any harm comes to anyone under the wide umbrella of the Professional's care, which has now extended to any suspects being held within the Palace's walls, we will be taking measures of extreme prejudice against you.
The woman stopped moving. She had gassed out all of Five-0 all of them were unconscious but the computer. The computer was running something else entirely. The mythical Sanctuary Network. She had hoped to never see it in person. And it knew her name. Probably the most terrifying moment of her life. That terrible, lethal program knowing her name. But Professional wasn't even in the country. What could they really do to her from a different country?
She said nothing but instead she walked towards the elevator where her stupid pretend boyfriend was being held in the basement. One step closer to de-encrypting that key and getting the known locations of all the undercover agents the American Government had.
As soon as she pressed the down button the computer spoke again.
I regret to inform you that you have chosen to be immediately terminated. Someone will be dispatched to deal with you post haste.
A shiver of dread went down her spine. But she knew, she knew her people would protect her. Everything would be okay eventually. Really what could Wo Fat and Rowan Pierce do to a Russian spy? The Russian government was stronger than both of them combined.
What Anna didn't know was that, while she was there, dragging Chris Dalton out of the Palace, Sanctuary downloaded to her phone. She didn't know that when Five-0 woke up their computer not only had a GPS tracker on her, but a GPS tracker on the person that it had hired to kill her showing on the smart table.
She had no idea that they watched that little red dot hone in on her and the little band of men that the Russian Government sent to protect her after she reported the threat from Sanctuary to her bosses. They watched that red dot sit on her own green dot for all of five minutes and then it went on it's way and Sanctuary declared the situation dealt with and powered down. She didn't even know it when the shooting started because the first bullet went straight through her brain.
When Five-0 did get there, there was nothing but bodies to find and a little flash drive that was not even close to being decrypted yet. On the computer screen was a picture of Rowan's face and the words: "You're welcome." Both of which disappeared the second Steve pulled the flash drive from the computer.
Steve wasn't sure if he was happy. Because Rowan was getting more and more violent by the case. He wished… he just wished there was a way to get a hold of her to tell her to stop, to get her to see that this wasn't her, this was the influence of a certain criminal in her life. He was afraid that she was his influence on her was slowly turning her into the monster she was really afraid of being. And that if she slipped too far he'd never get his Rowan back.
And it was because of that fear that the dreams about the void started.
