The next day brought pain of a new kind. Even when he did fall into an unsteady, restless nightmare filled sleep early into the morning he was not prepared however for Mr. Graves's sudden apparition into his room that Queenie and Tina had allowed him to stay in for the meantime.

Newt had been in a state of restless sleep, still seeing Tina's death playing back, and back just behind his eyelids and in his mind. He tossed and turned in the twin sized bed, hands clenching and unclenching, sweaty just like his hair was plastered to his face and to the back of his neck. In some part of the back of his mind he registered feeling someone else's magic fill the room, one he didn't recognize as much as he had grown familiar with as Queenie's and Tina's.

The omega turned and twisted, snapping his head on the pillow from side to side one more time before a cough woke him up. He sat up immediately snatching his wand up from the bedside table, eyes wide, end of the wand glowing a faint blue as he looked around the room. His eyes landed on Graves and he blinked several times in alarm, heart beat pounding so loud that he heard it echoing in his ears. Slowly he lowered his wand when he was positive that Grindelwald was no were to be seen (and after casting a soft 'Revelio' just in case Grindelwald had taken Percival Graves's body again.).

"I didn't mean to wake you, Mr. Scamander..." Newt heard Percival Graves's voice, a low soft tone, and when he took in another deep breath trying to calm himself he realized that the other Alpha was sending out calming waves to soothe him. Newt blinked up in surprise. "Y-You're Fine, Mr. Graves... I just..." "I know, Mr. Scamander-" -"Newt is fine, Mr. Graves-" -"Then I insist, call me Percival."

Newt stared, open mouthed at Percival Graves for a moment before slowly nodded his head and closing his mouth. "A-Alright Mr-Percival... I'm sorry about this I had-" -"You've had an... Unspeakable thing come upon you... Newton, and I can't imagine what it could've been like..." "Did you catch him yet?" Newt looked up hopefully at the Alpha. He wasn't sure just how much more bad news he could handle. Clyde had actually gotten worse and at this point-though it pained him deeply to say-he wasn't too sure how much longer the little bugger would hold out. Not unless he could get the proper medicine which costed more than Newt could afford.

Newt waited, and heard the pause... The hesitation and immediately bowed his head, not needing the Alpha's next words as his actions already confirmed his thoughts. "No... Newton we haven't caught him yet. But we will. I have Auror's searching the entirety of New York City for him, and I know that the Madam President will be sending out Auror's soon as well." Newt wordlessly nodded his head and Percival continued. "We aren't going to give up the search until we have him back. He needs to receive the proper punishment for all his crimes and the wrongdoings he has caused upon No-Mag's and wizard kind alike."

"Why... Have you come here Mr-Percival?" Newt glanced up at him in confusion. "If you're needed out searching.. Where MACUSA could actually use your skills.." "Oh," Percival reached into his pocket and tugged out a small bottle with a little bow on it. Inside the bottle was a strange light and dark blue liquid. At the top and bottom it was a darker shade of the light cyan color and in the middle it was the pure cyan.
