Her Wish (BeChloe)

Chapter 7: Stacie's First Round Of Experiments

Two things, whatever Beca does in the universe she's in is definitely helping her grow up and mature – realize some things she's been trying to ignore. Likewise whatever she does to in that universe definitely affects it too. I froze her original world mostly to avoid complicated repercussions when she gets back (imagine if the Beca of the world she's in woke up in her body too and find all the differences of their world :O)... so yeah... but with the experiments below Stacie does give her a very important note.

--------

"I am not allowing you to hook me up to that contraption of death." was the first thing Beca said as soon as Stacie unveiled her latest invention.

Her lab techs and research assistants even pulled the whole drum roll and "Tada!" moment.

With spotlights coming somewhere from the lab as Stacie pulled the cloth off the thing.

Waving arms, party poppers, and everything.

But there is no way in hell or high water Beca would allow herself be strapped onto the metal bed plate with some sort of head piece with electrodes and stuff that's supposed to be glued to her head.

There was also what looked like a life support machine that Stacie kept referring to as 'life monitors' and what Beca guessed to be a defibrillator that one of the good doctor's interns kept shoving to the side of the darn machine to hide from Beca's view.

And all of those shiny metal equipment was connected to Stacie's time/space monitor instrument thingy that she still had no idea how it works.

So yeah, definitely not letting Stacie turn her into a lab rat.

"Beca, this is the only way for you to get back to your world, you do know that, right?" Stacie reasoned.

"I am still so not convinced."

"Look, we tried it out on Robbie here, and he's fine. Tell her your fine Robbie."

"I'm fine Ms. Mitchell."

"Really, where did Robbie go?" Beca asked, not at all trusting the intern who looked deathly afraid of Stacie.

"Well, he didn't exactly go anywhere. We tested the attachment separately to make sure we get good readings on your brain activity and vitals, and it's working like a charm."

"Huh. What happens when we start the whole thing together, you know, run that thingy with your bigger thingy machine?"

"Instrument Beca, not a machine. And as for your question, we don't know yet." Stacie answered truthfully before chewing on her bottom lip. "That's why we have the defibrillator on stand-by. Just in case something backfires."

"Stacie!"

"We have no choice Beca. You're the only one who we know can survive whatever the hell you went through. Consciousness transfer? I don't know. But anyways, we know you're currently Beca from earth somewhere else– we should really start numbering and labeling the earths we're monitoring – and so you're the only one we know for sure can go through whatever process happened before. Sorry for the lack of technical terms, we're still debating on how we want to call these things."

"So you're going to try sending me back with that thing now?" Beca asked.

"Not exactly. We've tried reaching your earth but I think because it's still frozen, we can't put in the exact coordinates. Instead we're sending you somewhere as close to it as possible. If you make it, then, don't worry about what happens next here, we'll take care of it. You go get the girl. But if you don't you'll be sent to the closest earth in its proximity in the multiverse. We can try to do this three times each run, any more would be placing too much stress on your brain and body. We've set up a lifeline system for you so we can pull you back if we end up sending you to the wrong place. I mean, you have the freedom to explore, but you know, if you need to return, you can. Also, this is very important to keep in mind Beca, you've been here for a while now and you've made an impact in our lives, know that whatever you do in whatever universe we end up sending you would made an impact in their lives. So don't let anyone know what we're up to, okay? One more thing, since you're physical body will be hooked up to our little invention here, you'll be unconscious the whole time, and to that extent, the same goes with the Beca of our world. I'm still not sure what happened, but she's in there somewhere, I'm thinking her consciousness is just being repressed. It could be that when the rift opened, her current state of mind was weaker than yours – she was probably very drunk – and that's why her consciousness didn't travel over to your world. So don't worry about getting lost in the time and space continuum, I am most definitely sure you'll still be somehow tethered to ours."
