Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

"DAMN IT!" Nate cursed out loud.

"Why should I think anything different!?" he growled loudly, knowing he needed to inform people of this.

Meanwhile, at Hal's office, she knocked on the door, and when she was told it was open, she opened it.

"Oh, Erica!" Hal exclaimed with mild surprise when he saw her.

"What can I help you with?" he asked.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

".... Where is Robyn?" Erica asked.

"Also, let Nate know." She added, figuring that Nate would appreciate knowing where she was. When she'd left, shehadn't seen him, so she'd hadn't been able to give him a heads up.

"Please." She added, referring to both.

Hal opened his mouth to answer, when his desk phone rang.

"...one second." he said to her, before answering.

"Agent Sharp speaking." he said into it. "...Nathan calm down... yes... yes, I KNOW that Erica is missing, but she's not.... No... No, she's here. She just arrived.... no, there is no need to send someone up.... Nathan, stop talking for a moment." he continued, before groaning lightly.

"She's here, asking to help Robyn. And I am going to tell her where Robyn is, to let her help. Please do not interfere with this, we know Robyn won't hurt her." he continued, before there was silence again for a moment.

"All right. Good bye then." he finished, hanging up.

"She's in dorm 33." he informed her.

"And Nathan said he will not have the team he's put together for Giana interfere. They will be given instructions to wait where Giana is, and you will go there after helping Robyn." he stated.

'By the way, SHE'S in Isolated Containment Area C." he then added.

Erica nodded.

"thank you." She told him honestly.

"For not fighting me on this." She added.

"Any ideas for Kiah?" She then asked, her voice curious.

"..." Hal was silent for a moment.

"Well... last I heard, Sydney Sherwood of the Triad is keeping her in a special mirrored room that reflects mana." he told her. "And yes, I only know that because Lady Sherwood felt it right to inform me about it, seeing as Kiah is my employee, as well a my family." he informed her.

"Be warned, her rune seems to be out of control." he went on.

"And I'm not fighting you on this because I KNOW you're the only one willing and able to help the ones that have been suffering from this." he then told her.

"Does nobody ANY good to fight you." he sighed.

"Though, once everything's sorted, you NEED to rest and let YOURSELF heal from all this." he stressed.

Erica was silent before sighing, heavily.

"Dunno." She stated.

"Maybe." She then said.

"Not sure I can." Was the last thing she said before shaking her head lightly.

"I will try. I don't know, though." She added.

"...yeah, from what I've heard, that's as good an answer as we're getting." Hal admitted.

"I don't like it, but I understand it." he said.

"Regardless, if you're going to go help Robyn, do so." he told her.

"...she won't put up much of a fight. Or at all." he admitted.

"Poor thing's been... well... a doll."

"Not surprised." Erica commented.

"Copy brought out inner self." She then said.

"Everyone infected.... are what they are. Not who. What."

Hal groaned lightly.

"Yeah... yeah, makes sense." he said.

"Anyway, go on." he told her.

"Go and help the people you can. But please be mindful of your own safety." he pleaded.

"And is there anything WE can do to help you?" he asked.

"We're all here for you, I promise."

Erica didn't say anything in response to his inquiry at the end.

"Ok." Was all she said before heading off. She paused at the door and looked over to him. That one look made it apparent that she was quite grateful, and then she was gone.

Some time later, she mad eher way to where she was told that Giana was to find Lindsay waiting in the hall for her. She didn't say anything, but did wave.

Lindsay noticed her coming, and waved back to her.

"Hello again, Erica." he greeted her when she was close enough to speak to.

"I've been told some of the trauma you've experienced." he told her. "And I'm here for you if you need anyone to speak to." he continued. "But... you already know that." he went on.

"For now, we've been tasked to deal with the one in this room." he then said.

"...and I think I'll be able to hold her back and absorb her flames long enough for you to help her." he finished.

Erica nodded.

"Let's do it, then." She stated, not saying anything else for the moment before tossing the key to the room over, as Hal had given it to her as she left.

After he opened the door, she paused, the heat was ridiculous. She knew that Giana wouldn't be happy to see her, but she also didn't really care.

She made her way into the room, not even caring about the heat.

Lindsay stepped in as well, and even HE had to admit the temperature was a little warn in there.

'So THIS is the power of an efreet...' he thought, as Giana looked over towards Erica.

"YOU!" she screamed out in anger, and leapt right towards her, only to be intercepted by Lindsay, tackling her to the ground, and pinning her with a half-nelson. As he did so, he started to absorb the heat around them, and the fire he felt starting to come forth.

And he was feeling it.

"LET ME GO!" Giana ordered, as Lindsay looked towards Erica.

"Pretty sure I can't keep this up for long." he told her.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Erica, unsurprisingly, didn't say anything before approaching the pair. She looked Giana over as she stuggled and fought against Lindsay, looking for the hand print. It took her close to a minute before she found it on the womans hand.

She didn't say anything before grasping it, ignoring the heat and burn from it. Even Lindsay could feel Giana calm down. As Erica released her hand and stepped back, the heat died down, pretty much entirely. Erica, meanwhile, just made her way to the door, intending to leave.

"Wait!" Giana exclaimed, as Lindsay let go and fell off to the side, not moving.

"Erica, wait!" Giana said, getting up and making her way over.

"What the hell, Erica?" she asked.

"What was with the stuff you told me earlier? And how I was feeling so off and weird afterwards?" she continued to inquire.

"I don't actually feel that way. I love this place. And yet you convinced me to turn on it. And now you show up and take it it away." she said further. "Why?" she asked again.

"Why do that to me?" she finished, sounding near tears.

Erica just sighed, heavily.

"Not me." She answered.

"A copy." She added before looking to Giana, motioning to her hand.

"You can see the curse, still." She added. Sure enough, when Giana looked to her hand, she did see the echoes of the hand print.

"Wh... what?" she mumbled.

"What...? What is...?" she muttered further.

"A copy?" she then asked Erica.

"Yes." Erica responded, turning to leave again.

"..." Giana was now silent, taking all of this in, but looking back towards Erica as the door was opened.

"Erica?" she said, before pausing.

"Nevermind." she muttered. "It's clear you don't want to talk to me."

Erica flinched, visibly when Giana said what she did. They'd been friends for years, and it hadn't occurred to her that this didn't look good. At the same time though, she knew that this wasn't something that she could actually handle for the moment.

"....... Don't make assumptions, Gi." she said simply. It probably sounded forced, but she really hoped that if she ever got her head put back together again, Giana would hear her out.

Giana wasn't exactly sure how to respond to that.

"...k." was all she responded with, before she looked over towards Lindsay.

"Um... is he...?" she started to ask, before his entire body seemed to just light on fire.

"What the HELL!?" she exclaimed.

"Eri, we need to do something!?" she sad to Erica, clearly not knowing what was happening.

Erica sighed before shrugging.

"He's fine." was all she said before looking back to Lindsay.... Or rather, the blaze that was contained there

"Did not know you could kill him." She added, sounding honestly impressed before pausing.

"... Or that you had." She admitted.

"... wow, I really am a mess right now." she muttered
