K just let out a breath of relief when Az said that.

"Good." She said simply, and that was all she said. It was one hell of a relief to know that it was destroyed, to know that she had rather solidly changed the future.

She just couldn't help but wonder what kind of future she would return to.

Or if she COULD return, for that matter.

Azazel knew that that was the end of that. There was nothing more for him to say or do here, so he turned and left the room. About 5 minutes later, Hal stepped into the room once more.

"I don't know what exactly was in that research." he told her.

"But Azazel just told me that what he looked at and saw was... brilliant, yet seemed flawed. And extremely dangerous." he went on.

"He said that the fact that they were destroyed really has saved us from a fate worse than death." he continued.

"...and I know we have you to thank for that." he then said.

"So... sincerely. Thank you."

"That world that would have been created..." K started before sighing and just looking over to Hal.

"I wish you knew the future I come from." She stated simply, plainly. Kiah, would normally ask, K, did not.

"You're pretty much the only person who could outright know where I'm from, what I stopped."

Hal raised an eyebrow, before nodding.

He then snapped his fingers... and after a few seconds, she saw the horror in his eyes.

"...good heavens..." he mumbled.

"That's... that is..." he stammered, before looking at K.

"THIS is the world you come from?" he asked.

She nodded.

"...the path to hell truly IS paved with good intentions..." was all he could say next.

K nodded.

"It is." She agreed.

"And he dragged me down that path with him." She added before pausing, sighing heavily.

"... I fear going back, and finding out that I'm going pulled right back in. I know how changing the past works... it usually results in a split timeline."

Hal was silent when he heard this, before he stepped forward.

"Listen..." he said.

"You've done so much to help us. And it's clear you're not our enemy." he went on.

"Before you're pulled back to that hellhole of a home of yours... do you want to have free reign of the Unit?" he asked.

"See anybody you want to see? See anything before you leave?" he asked further.

"It's not much, but it's the least I can offer you."

K was silent for a moment before just snickering.

"You know I'm still slightly insane... in a mad scientist manner.... and there is someone I DO want to improve before I leave..." She trailed off, snickering slightly.

"I would love to be able to, if I have you blessing. I can't promise it won't hurt him, but he would be far better off after the healing period."She paused a moment, thinking.

"I think."

Hal just sighed quietly.

"I cannot give you permission to perform experiments on my employees." he told her.

"However, if you can get his consent, then I will not stop you, nor think any less of either of you." he assured her.

"Because I know who you're talking about." he continued.

"And he's actively been considering it, from what I know." he went on.

"Will you require your mana for this?" he then asked her.

"I will." K answered.

"And good. Don't get in the way if he agrees. That just ain't fun." she then paused before snickering.

"Or maybe it is. Not actually sure at this point." She added with a shrug.

"...." Hal was silent as she said all this.

"Right." he said.

"I will accompany you to speak with him, and we'll go from there." he told her.

"I will remove the mana cuffs only when it is time for you to perform what is necessary." he went on.

"We are all in your debt, as is the entire world, but I'm not so foolish as to just let you have sudden unfettered access to your mana." he said further.

"Come on." he then said, making his way to the opened door.

K didn't take offense to anything, just laughed. Overall, she seemed more sane than she had when she arrived, but that laugh certainly proved that she wasn't completely sane.

"Yeah yeah."Was all she said before following him out.

"Ah, also, is this before or after Chloe's arrival?" She asked as she noticed one of the map tiles on the wall.

"As... if it's before, you may wish to speak to Lunet about speeding that up." She then said. "Before the technical corruption occurs."

Hal raised an eyebrow.

"I'm going to assume it's before." he said, having no idea what she was talking about.

"...wait, must be the project that's causing her to be unreachable." he then muttered.

"I will go through the channels I need to, to get that message to her." he assured her, as they made their way to the medical wing.

Once there, the staff seemed to be nervous and apprehensive, but Hal raised a hand t ease their worry.

That was when Nate saw them, and approached them both.

K just crossed her arms, smirking.

"You want what I said I can give?" She asked, her voice curious.

"Even though it will likely hurt, and not be nice? Or that it will take some acclimating afterwards, Hazel can literally see mana after all." She then said.

"Because I know I can do it."

"....yes." Nate responded.

"If it will make me a better medic, and more useful to the Unit, and the medical wing... then yes." he told her.

"I will endure any pain." he said.

"You know you don't have to do this, right?" Hal asked.

"...I know." Nate responded.

"I do this of my own volition. This is my own choice."

"You'd likely naturally develop the abilitiy." K told him honestly.

"You just... have the chance to fast track it." She added with a snicker.

"Of course, you do risk losing your mind due to not being able to handle the two sights overlaying on each other. Hazel never could deal with that." She told him.

"But if you're good, I'll bring the mix here once I prepare it."

"..." Nate was silent, before turning around.

"Let me know when you're back with it." he told them.

"Fast tracking this may very well save a life when previously it couldn't be done." he said, before walking away.

"...the man thinks of others to a fault." Hal sighed.

"Come, then." he said to K.

"Let's get you to the lab." he told her.

"It's why I feel bad about killing him in the future." K admitted a few seconds later.

"He'd always agreed to everything that I, or L, would do to him." She then said.

"All because he thought we were doing good, when..." She started before sighing lightly.

"well, when we really weren't."

Hal was silent again for a moment, as she said that and they turned to head to the lab.

"I see." he said.

"Well... I suppose this IS your chance to atone for that, so to speak." he went on.

"Even though one could argue you've more than done that already." he added.

"But I am not your conscience." he sighed.

"Though the thought of his naivety and good nature being used and abused is... sickening." he then growled lightly.

K shrugged.

"Oh, I know." She said simply.

"However, I never cared. The drugging, the experimentation.... L managed to wear me down and yeah, he broke me in the end." She added as they walked.

"Apparently not completely though, admittedly."

"At least there's that." Hal responded, as they reached the lab and entered. People were buzzing about, but didn't really pay much attention to K, except for Ilias, who noticed them and made his way over.

"Hello." he greeted them.

"Ilias, I'd like you to cooperate with K on something." Hal responded. "But only if you're comfortable with doing so." he stressed.

"She'll fill you in on it." he told him further.

He then produced a key from his pocket, and looked at K.

"No funny stuff once these are off." he warned her.
