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

It didn't take long and Lindsay was on his feet again.

Giana was very confused to see this.

"Phoenix. Technically." Lindsay said.

"Are you feeling more like yourself?" he asked her.

"Yes." Giana responded.

"Then our work here is done." Lindsay said.

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

"We'll talk later. Ok?" Erica asked.

".... Some shit happened." She then said with a sigh.

"Left it's mark on me." She paused before sighing, again. This time with a light shake of her head.

"Anyway... I gotta go." She told Giana. "One more to help."

Giana seemed to still be confused, and a little irritated, but she had calmed down.

And it seemed like she wasn't jumping to conclusions now.

"...all right then." she said.

"But you had BETTER come and talk to me about this later." she told her, as Lindsay approached andthey left the room the door being closed and locked after they were in the hallway.

"How is she?" she guard asked.

"Seemingly back to her old self." Lindsay responded.

"Good." the guard replied, as Lindsay then looked at Erica.

"Who is left for you to help?" he asked her.

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

Erica was silent for a moment before looking to Lindsay to answer.

"Kiah." She told him honestly.

"I think that's it'." She added, a light shake of her head.

"Copy did a lot of damage."

"..." Lindsay was silent for a moment, thinking about that.

"...I've heard about what's happening with her." he said.

"You're going to need some serious and very specified backup to help her." he told her.

"There's my brother, who can counter Kiah's rune and such, but... well, ever since he took her to that room, he's distanced himself from others. To the point of nearly cutting off communication entirely..." he muttered.

"Or there's Azazel. Or any of the demons."

"Probably need to deal with him too." Erica commented honestly.

"Can be spread.Giana got Kiah." She added after a second or two.

"And Kiah may have spread it to him."

"I DO know where he is." Lindsay admitted. "I was sworn to secrecy, however, in this case... pretty sure this trumps everything, and I can take you to where he is." he told her.

"If you're prefer HIM to accompany you to help Kiah." he said.

"I defer to you on this. You are clearly the authority in terms of how to do this." he went on.

"Just let me know."

...and I'll forgive thy

Erica was silent for a moment, debating what he was saying.

"Ash." She then said after a few seconds, close to a minute.

"He can cancel the rune." She continued.

"Don't think my curse protects against that."

Forgive, O Lord,

Lindsay nodded in response.

"Very well." he told her.

"We'll need to tell Agent Sharp about this, obviously." he then said.

"However, I think you should be safe. Ash seems to have most of his wherewithal still left... though he IS considering himself a danger..." he admitted to her with a small sigh.

"Regardless, I'll take you to Ash, and then you two can go to Kiah."

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

Erica nodded.

"Let's tell him." She then said, referring to Sharp.

"And then find Ash." She added.

"I want this to be done."

"Of course." Lindsay responded.

The two made their way to Sharp, where they told him of their plans. He didn't seem to like it, but he also realised there was no other option. So Erica was granted leave to get this done, and the two of them left the Unit.

Using Lindsay's mana, they arrived in a forest somewhere, in a VERY small clearing, where Erica saw there was a small cabin-like building. And she felt IMMENSELY powerful mana emanating from within it.

"...he's in there." Lindsay told her.

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

Erica didn't flinch, somehow managed to avoid it, as she approached the door.

"Thank you." Was all she said to Lindsay before pausing.

"Should I knock?" She then asked, not sure if knocking, or just going on, would be better here.

Forgive, O Lord,

"...ah." Lindsay responded.

"Knock twice, and announce who you are." he told her.

She did so, knocking twice and saying it was her, and there was silence for a moment or two.

"Go away!" they heard Ash's voice call out. "I might hurt you!" he yelled further.

"Ashley!" Lindsay then called back in response. "We know what's going on, and Erica can help you! She's the only one that CAN, right now!" he continued. "And the sooner you let her help you, the sooner you two can go and save Kiah from the same thing!" he then added.

Again, there was silence for a moment, and Erica felt the mana presence decrease. A LOT.

"You'd better get in there and do it quickly." Lindsay told her. "No clue how long he can reign it in like this." he warned.

"Where ARE you in there!?" he then asked loudly.

"Livingroom! Just to the left when you come in!" Ash responded.

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

Erica nodded before making her way in. She headed toward the room in question. When she stepped in, she saw Ash sitting in a chair, his elbows on his knees and his hands clasped together. He didn't look too good, looked like he was feeling rather inferior and worthless.

She stepped up, ignoring the presence of the rune that she could feel at the edges of everything.

"Where'd she touch you?" She asked, her voice curious, figuring that it would be the quicker way to do this.

"..." Ash was silent for a moment.

"Not like telling you would do anything. I can't do anything right." he said to her, before suddenly slapping himself.

"Wrists." he said.

'Last time Kiah touched me was when she grabbed my wrists and we teleported out of the Unit." he answered her.

Erica could see he was desperately clinging onto the control he had. And while his feeling inferior was not inherently part of what the copy had done, it HAD made some buried feelings resurface.

But right now, that was neither here, nor there.

He'd told her where Kiah had touched him.

Erica looked to his wrists, and grabbed them, one in each hand. She pulled them out and up with little resistance from Ash, to check them better.

And then she found the print on his left. Without thinking about the heat, the rune that she could feel beneath his skin and threatening to break free. She resisted the urge to tell him to just let go as her hand wrapped around his wrist, curse on curse.

The contact was made, and even if he did drop the rune, it wouldn't be a problem.

But he could feel it starting to calm down. It didn't take long, about forty seconds, before she released it.

"Better?" She asked as she took a step back from the heat source he was.

Ash paused and seemed to think for a moment, before letting out a small breath.

"...much." he said.

As he said that, she felt the overall heat that surrounded her die down to nothing, and the feeling of the rune vanished all but entirely.

"Thank you." Ash said further, before suddenly realising something.

"Oh, lord!" he exclaimed.

"Your hands! How are they!?"

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

"Good." Erica stated.

"Now. Kiah." She added.

"Forget my hands. Worry about them later. Kiah first."

Ash shook his head.

"Damn it, no." he said, getting to his feet.

"At least let me apply some salve or something right now." he told her.

"Please?" he asked.

"...or are you going to just continuously throw your own health and safety to the wayside?"

Erica was silent for a moment before meeting his gaze.

"I am going to crash. Very soon." She told him honestly.

"Kiah first. Then I will be in the medwing." She continued.
