" Why did you help us?" Meera questioned and Benjen pulled down his hood Bran was sucked back into a vision, his eyes white as Meera glared across the fire at Benjen.

''The Three-Eyed Raven sent for me." Benjen told her.

''The Three-Eyed Raven's dead'' Meera spat back.

''Now he lives again.'' Benjen told her. Bran startled awake as he came out of a vision. Meera moved to him.

''When I last saw you, you were a boy. A fearless boy." Benjen remarked ''Loved to climb the castle walls, frighten his mother.'

''Who are you?'' Bran asked. Benjen moved closer to the fire. ''Uncle Benjen. The last letter Jon wrote me said you had been lost beyond the Wall." Bran remarked

''I led a ranging party deep into the North to find White Walkers. They found us. I went to this... magical place, with this magical woman..." Benjen hesitated poking at the fire with a twig. "When I was falling back, I saw what we need to destroy the white walkers."

"Falling back?" Meera asked incredulously.

"Dragon glass." Benjen told her.

"You burned them." Meera remarked.

"Keeps them from coming back." Benjen informed her before looking to Bran.''You are the Three-Eyed Raven now.'' Benjen told him confidently.

''I didn't have time to learn. I can't control anything." Bran declared.

''You must learn to control it before the Night King comes.'' Benjen knelt before Bran and offered him a cup. ''Drink.'' Benjen instructed. ''One way or another, he will find his way to the world of men. When he does, you will be there waiting for him. And you will be ready.... I know the kind of fate other worlds have when they are not prepared for the enemy." Benjen remarked. "I'm not losing you too."

''Please let me go.'' Donna begged. ''Please! ''

"I'm getting my-'

"How about a deal, an offer!" Donna declared as she was magically secured down to the alter. She pulled at her arms and legs to no use.

"My boys-" Wanda seethed.

"You go to that world and you live there with them and.... You can use my power to get there and then... you just go." Donna offered.

"No. I need your powers."

"Can you... take them without killing me?" Donna offered. "Like you take them and drop my off at westeros. I finally met a Benjen that I don't is dead and I want to keep it that way." Donna begged. "You love your boys, I love him. Every other you has children. Well every universe I went to I fell in love with Benjen stark and I lost him." Donna shouted still tugging at her magical restraints to no use. "Just hear me out!" Donna begged. "You get what you want and I get what I want. No one has to die." donna offered.

"I need you power, the only way to get it is to-"

"I mean maybe there is another way. We are rushing into things. I think we just need to take a breather." Donna suggested. "Just breathe, meditation, I hear its great. Lets just take a breath and think-'

"I'm done wasting time." Wanda shouted back.

"You love your boys. The boys you created in your little fairy tale world." Donna hissed. "Your boys were not REAL!" Donna screamed. "MY BENJEN IS!" Donna sobbed out. "Every fucking universe I find him and I lose him. You never had them to begin with! They are not yours, Benjen is mine!"
