I'm...sinking.


Deeper and deeper.


Within the icy waters of my own conscience.


Won't someone save me? Anyone? Anyone at all?


Grey, please, I need you...Grey...Grey...Grey? Who is Grey?


Who is Grey? Why does he plague my thoughts so?


I'm sinking...I'm drowning.


There is no one who can help me.


Queen Victoria...I will make you pay...


"I will make you pay!!"


My eyes shot open, and my immediate instinct was to rid my arms of the hands that were holding them. The men either side of me were startled, but I didn't take such a thing into account as I punched one in the face, elbowed the other and took in my surroundings. It looked as though I was in a hospital room, though I had no recollection as to how I got there. I heard the voice of another person, one that was telling me I needed to calm down. How dare they order me so, I am my own person, I should not be subjected to such manipulation.

"Get away from me," I growled, feeling the adrenaline inside of my body really kick in as I shakily clutched the sides of my bed.
"Please, Miss, you need to calm down, you're in a safe environment," the man tried reassuring, getting closer to me.
When he was close enough, I roughly grabbed the collar of his lab coat and pulled him close enough to intimidate him.
"Where is Queen Victoria?" I snarled, watching as his eyes widened and face paled.
"Y-you..." he began shakily, being so unnerved by the situation that he could barely talk at all.
He pushed me off and stumbled for the door to a little box in the room that had windows and seemed to lead out into a hallway, shutting and locking it behind him as he reached for what appeared to be a phone and began dialling quite quickly and messily.


3rd Person POV


Othello never really found himself stepping foot into the hospital designed specifically for taking care of newcomers, considering it wasn't his area of work. However, when a racket of screams and grunts broke out, he couldn't help but become concerned since something of the sort never usually was heard as he wondered out of his office in the forensics department and into the room where the noises were coming from. At first, he assumed that the lady on the bed was just freaked out, and was unable to control her new abilities of super strength. But, when she uttered words that spoke of remembering her life, he immediately knew that something was most definitely not right, and scrambled to the phone which sat in the box before the room.

He dialled Administration, and the second someone picked up he began pleading into the phone.

"I need backup at room 19 in Hospital Ward A! Call Mr Spears! Something weird is goin' on!"

"What's happened, Othello?" Asked a very confused, yet concerned William T Spears as four other Grim Reapers filed into the room behind him, considering they were the nearest to Will when he was called and would make suitable back up.
"Sh-she came to kicking and screaming, knocked two guys out. I thought she was just freaked out. Then she asked me where Queen Victoria is...I think she still has her memories or something!" Othello explained in as confident a voice as he could muster, but situations like these had never happened to him before, he didn't know how he was supposed to act.
