The area continues to burn, due to Monarch's attack. It's empty. Desolate. Any life that was once there is now gone, there's no doubt about that. From the burned ground of the temple, a hand rises up. It reaches around and grabs hold of something. It pulls up your upper body. You start coughing as you rise from the ground. Your physique has returned to normal, and your powers are gone. That isn't even on your mind right now.

You continue to cough as you get your entire body out of the hole you created. You lie on the ground and think about what just happened. The lingering memory of your new friends haunts you. You tighten your fights and close your eyes. The pain is still there. The guilt is still there. You may have been able to vent the rage out in that fight, but the guilt was not so easily dismissed.

You flip onto your back and stare up at the sky. You are half laughing, half crying. Your mind can barely comprehend what just happened. Then there's also the lingering thought of what Hans said.

What is my purpose? I don't know. I don't know why I'm fighting them. Hans is right. They aren't after Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, or me. There isn't any reason to continue fighting them. No... no there is! I have to find the truth! I have to learn what happened to me! But... is that worth the lives I've taken? Is that worth the pain I put myself through? The pain I put my friends through? I lived my whole life in blissful ignorance, and nothing happened. It's when I started to learn, started to become curious. That's when things started happening to me. That's when things got out of hand. I should be the dead one here, not Allison. Not Alex. Not any of them.

You turn your head to see dust all around you. The heat from Monarch's attack turned their bodies and bones to dust. There's no way to even give them all a proper burial. You shake your head and try to think of something else. A goal. A plan. You don't even know what to do right now. You couldn't even do anything if you wanted to. Your body is on the fritz. It's exhausted.

"(Y/N)!" A voice screams. "(Y/N)! Where are you? Don't tell me you've died!"

You turn your head to the source of the voice. A young man with long white hair spots you.

"Hunter..." you mumble.

"(Y/N)... What. The. Fuck? What did you do?" He asks, running towards you.

You chuckle. You're happy to see your brother is so concerned about your well-being.

"Oh, you know. The usual," you jokingly remark.

Hunter reaches you and tries to lift you up. You groan in pain, making him release you.

"Come on, we have to get going. Everyone is going to be here soon. The police, fire department, fucking every secret organization in the world is on their way here!"

You flip onto your stomach and extend your arm out. You squeeze the dirt under your hand as you gather the strength to push yourself up. You lift your other hand beside you and slowly push yourself off the ground.

"Hardest... push up of... my life," you snicker.

"Yeah, whatever," Hunter smiles.

Hunter puts your right arm over his neck and shoulder. He allows you to lean on him for support as the two of you walk out of the crater. You take a few steps then stumble and fall to your knees.

"Man... what happened?" Hunter asks.

"I'll explain it when we're out of here. Will you... will you piggy back me?" You request.

"What?"

"Will you give me a piggy back? It'll get me out of here," you repeat.

"Well you don't have to ask it like a three year old!" He yells.

"You don't have to be a douche about saying no!" You counter.

Hunter huffs in anger.

"I swear, if you weren't on the brink of death I would hit you so hard."

"Ha... You sound like Elsa and Anna."

"Are you calling me girly?"

You just laugh.  Hunter shakes his head and moves you to his back. He gets you in the piggy back position. You smile and rest your head against his back. He looks back at you for a moment and smiles. Even in this desperate situation, there is still a little reminder that you're just his little brother.

Hunter starts sprinting out of the area. He jumps out of the crater and lands on the ground. He pushes off his heel immediately to keep his momentum. He speeds through the burning roots and dead trees that were once a beautiful forest. It's sad, but nothing to wait up for.

Hunter brings you to your white sports car. You question how he has it, but that isn't too important right now. Hunter sits you in the passenger seat then rushes to the driver's seat. Hunter pushes on the gas and sends you both speeding down the road.

"When did you get my car?" You ask.

"When I left, I needed something to get me around faster," Hunter responds, spastically looking around for anyone following you both. "The real question is, what the fuck were you thinking coming out here without me? What happened?"

You sigh and lean back in your seat.

"I messed up, big time."

"No shit, kilometers of land have been destroyed! Hell, Tocia was almost hit by that!"

"That's not what I meant!" You snap.

Hunter is a little taken back by your reaction.

"What are you talking about?"

"I killed people, Hunter. I killed people I shouldn't have."

"Who did you kill?"

"People... innocent people... You remember the people from the other floor of the hotel? The people having the party?"

"Yeees," Hunter slowly states.

"Hans... he did something to them. He put them in suits and sent them after me. I was an idiot, and simply slaughtered them all. I didn't know it was them until it was too late. I killed all those people..."

Hunter pulls the car over and grabs your shoulders.

"(Y/N), listen to me-"

"No! You listen!" You scream. "Why did you drag me into this? I don't know why I'm fighting these people! I have no justification for murdering my friends!"

Hunter sighs. "Well, now you do."

"What?" You recoil.

"Did Hans mention anything about nanobots?"

You think for a moment then nod.

"They're planning on infecting people with them. That way they can control the important figures in the world. If anything, they used them as a test. Use this as your motivator! Get revenge for all your friends!"

You stare into Hunter's eyes for a moment, processing what he just said. You turn away and lean back in your chair. Hunter sighs and grabs the wheel.

"(Y/N), I've made a lot of mistakes while fighting the Hierarchy. I've gotten innocent people hurt. I know how you feel. I questioned myself once too. They only did this to me. Why should all these people get hurt for some personal vendetta? I doubted what I was doing. But then I saw what they did to you. I saw what they did to hundreds of children all over the world. I saw the way they torture people for information, and how they manipulate to further their own goals. It can be hard to accept your failures, hard to accept the bad things you've done. But (Y/N), you need to trust in me. If not me, trust in yourself. You wouldn't have kept following these people if your heart didn't tell you to."

You look at Hunter. He has a straight face, and isn't looking at you. You lower your head and think about what he's saying. Hunter notices a few black helicopters fly over you both and towards the crater. Hunter pushes on the gas and sends you both zooming. You hold on to your seat for safety.

"Hunter... I'm sorry," you say.

"Don't apologize to me. You have nothing to apologize for. It's human to feel regret and remorse. I would be worried if you DIDN'T feel bad. I just don't want you wrapped up in failure."

You smile. "Yeah, I understand. But listen, I couldn't find the Dragon's Tear. The Hierarchy already took it. However, I got something else."

You click your watch. Hunter looks over at what you're doing. You summon the sword. It materializes in your hands. You pull it out of the sheath and display it to Hunter.

"It didn't have the sheath when I found it, but there was one that perfectly matched with the sword in my watch. I was able to break one of Monarch's swords with it."

"Whoa, whoa, wait. Monarch was there? Which one?" Hunter urgently asks.

"Which one? I thought there was only one."

"No. There is a man and a woman."

"The man, then. The same one who whooped us earlier," you confirm.

"And you fought him?"

You nod. "I was able to use that weird power up mode. We fought quite evenly. It was fun until he sent those giant fireballs at me."

"I'm assuming that's what destroyed the area?"

"Yes. I used my powers to hide under the ground. I put up four layers of earth, water, and fire to protect me. I think that's what saved me, as the blast still did a number on me."

"Ah yes," Hunter chuckles. "That's how you're so beat up. You look ever so manly like that."

You give him a look, then laugh. "Just... shut up."

You stare out the window for some of the drive. You realize that Hunter passes by Tocia city.

"Hunter, where are we going? The hotel is that way."

"We aren't going to the hotel. It's too close to the crater site. We have to go to Arendelle," he says.

Your heart stops for a moment. Hunter looks at you and gives you an uplifting smile.

"We have to go to Elsa's."

You slam your head against the head rest and sigh.

This is not going to go over well.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Anna rushes beside Elsa. She gives her sister a hug from behind, trying to snap her out of her trance.

"Elsa, talk to me. Elsa..."

"That... did you see the explosion? What if he's there? We have to get him!" Elsa declares.

Elsa pushes Anna off of her and walks to the door. Kristoff blocks her way.

"Elsa, let's calm down for a second," Kristoff warns.

"I can't calm down! He could be in trouble! He could be dying right now and I'm not there!"

Anna puts her shoulder on Elsa's. Elsa turns her head to see her sister.

"Elsa, please. Let's go home and think for a little. Please."

Elsa stares into Anna's eyes for a moment. Elsa's brain finally kicks in and realizes that Kristoff and Anna are right. Elsa nods and takes a deep breath.

"Let's head home for now. We need to think of something to do, but I'm not just waiting around," Elsa states.

Anna and Kristoff nod.

"Of course not. We're going to go find him, but we need to give it some thought," Kristoff concurs.

Anna and Kristoff leave the building first. Elsa walks to Alec's office. Elsa looks in to the office and notices Alec is talking to a hologram. The person on the hologram almost looks like you, but there are differences. She brushes it off since she doesn't have the best angle.

"Yes, I saw it too. You better get over there. Every single company with power is going to be swarming that place within minutes. However, did you get the schematics?" Alec asks.

"Yes, I did. I'll show them to you later, I need to get him."

The hologram disappears and Alec sighs. He grabs his glass and takes a drink. He turns around and notices Elsa. Luckily, Elsa starts to walk in at that point.

"Elsa, pleasure to see you. What do you need?" Alec asks, putting his drink down.

"I'm going home. I apologize, but I think my friend is hurt."

Alec knows exactly why Elsa is leaving and who this "friend" is. It doesn't bother him though. It's a legitimate concern.

"Not a problem. I suppose I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Yes, thank you Alec."

Elsa rushes out of the room and to the elevator. She meets Anna and Kristoff in the lobby.

"Come on, let's head home."

Elsa sadly nods. Anna and Kristoff give each other a look. They know she is somewhat broken right now. The three walk to Anna's car and drive home. Elsa is staring in the direction of the explosion. Anna sees this and turns to face her sister.

"It might not have been him, you know," Anna comforts.

"Who else could that have been? I know it was him. I know it," Elsa says with conviction.

Anna frowns and turns back to see what's ahead of them. Kristoff stays silent as he drives. He breaks his silence three quarters of the way there.

"Anna, I'm going to have to visit Pabbie soon. He's been getting worse."

"I remember, and I understand. But do you have to leave as soon as we get back?" Anna asks.

"No. Tomorrow. I'll be here to help."

Anna smiles and kisses Kristoff on the cheek.

"I'm driving, Anna," he playfully complains.

Anna giggles. "That's never bothered you before."

Kristoff blushes a little bit then clears his throat.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Uh huh," Anna sarcastically agrees.

Kristoff sees the Anderson household down the road and smiles. He pulls into the drive way and parks. The three get out of the car and enter the house. Elsa immediately starts pacing back and forth in the middle of the room. Anna and Kristoff remove their coats and watch Elsa think. Anna chuckles and walks over to her sister. She puts her hands on Elsa's shoulders and sit her down.

"Take a breath, Elsa. Relax. Take a nap."

"A nap? This isn't the time for a nap Anna!" Elsa argues.

Anna pushes Elsa over, causing her to lie down on the couch. Kristoff comes up from behind the couch and tosses a blanket on her.

"Hey! What are you guys-"

"Trust me Elsa, just a quick nap. You've been working and thinking non-stop for days," Kristoff says.

Elsa pouts then tries to close her eyes. As soon as her eyes close, she falls asleep. Kai comes out from the kitchen.

"Anna, Kristoff. Good to see you both. Where is Elsa?"

Anna puts her finger over her lips and points to the couch. Kai gets the message. He bows and heads upstairs. Anna and Kristoff walk to the kitchen. Anna prepares some hot chocolate for the two of them.

Kristoff leans against the counter and crosses his arms. Anna notices his uneasiness.

"Kristoff, are you okay?"

"No... Anna I know that was him. There's nobody else that could have been."

Anna's face saddens.

"I know."

"It's just... I know that we have to stay strong for Elsa, but I want to go out there right now and find him! He'd do the same for any of us."

Anna gets close to Kristoff and snuggles up to him.

"Don't worry. If there's one thing that (Y/N) doesn't do, it's let us down."

"And die. He doesn't really die," Kristoff chuckles.

Anna giggles with him. She breathes out and enjoys the moment with the man she loves. Kristoff kisses her hair and rubs her forehead. Anna squeezes him a little tighter.

Anna notices the milk start to bubble. She breaks out of Kristoff's arms and rushes over to the milk. Kristoff laughs at Anna's silliness. Anna sticks her tongue out at Kristoff and goes back to her milk. She pours the milk into two cups and mixes the chocolate with them. She overflows them with mini marshmallows then hands one over to Kristoff. He happily accepts it and gives Anna a kiss.

The two walk into the living room and sit In the love seat. They both take a sip of their drinks and stare at Elsa.

"She looks peaceful," Kristoff points out.

"She isn't worried about anything right now. It's good to see her this way," Anna whispers.

"You know, it's funny to see how much he changes her. (Y/N) can make Elsa so happy and cheerful, and yet so worried. It's nothing like the Elsa I remember in school."

Anna giggles. "Yes, that's true. He was able to get to her better than I could."

"But she was trying to protect you. That's not your fault."

Anna cozies in to Kristoff even more and takes a sip from her drink. She looks up at him and smiles.

"I must have been lucky to get a guy like you."

Kristoff blushes and chuckles.

"Yeah, you must have been."

Anna gives him a playful frown as Kristoff continues to laugh. He looks over at Elsa and ponders something.

"So which one is lucky one between Elsa and (Y/N)?"

"(Y/N), definitely. Nobody caught Elsa's attention like he did. That makes him the lucky one."

Kristoff and Anna doze off while snuggling.

The three sleep for an hour. Elsa is the first to start to open her eyes. Her eyes slowly adjust to the room. She sits up and rubs her eyes. In an instant, she remembers you. Elsa jumps off the couch and rushes to the door. The commotion wakes up Anna and Kristoff.

"Elsa..? What are you doing?" Anna softly asks.

"You guys can sleep if you want, but I'm going after (Y/N)!"

Elsa reaches for the door.

"Elsa, wait!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Your eyes slowly open. You look around to see where you are. You're still in the car, but it's not moving. You turn your head over to see Hunter, sitting quietly. Hunter looks over to you and smiles.

"Finally. I was wondering when you were going to wake up."

You look outside to see a house. You know that house. You quickly push back and flip over your seat.

"Why the hell are we here?" You scream.

You uncomfortably land with your head stuck between the front and back seat while your legs dangle in the air. Hunter sighs with disappointment. He gets out of the car and walks over to the door you're beside. He opens it looks down at you. You look up at him and smile. You give a small wave. Hunter grabs your leg and pulls you out of the car. He lifts you high enough to allow your arms to dangle without touching the ground.

You try to lift yourself up to Hunter's hands, but fail. You let your body go limp and hang in the air.

"You know, if I wasn't wounded I would kick your ass right now," you threaten.

Hunter laughs. "So you want me to let you go?"

"Yes, that would be pr-"

Hunter lets you go. You fall on your shoulders and flop onto your stomach. Hunter can't help but laugh even harder at you.

You slowly pick yourself up and give him a death stare. Hunter stops laughing and flicks his head towards the door. You turn around and sigh.

"Listen, last time I was here everyone was mad at me," you explain as you both walk up to the door. "So don't be surprised if there's some yelling or... I don't know... the heavens raining down on me in the form of ice. And hell. Oh the hell that will rise. All from Elsa. Just be prepared to pull someone off me."

You reach for the door when it suddenly opens. Elsa is standing in front of you, dumbfounded. You don't have time to say anything before she pushes her lips against yours. You don't kiss back, as you are utterly confused. Elsa wraps her hands around your neck to bring her in closer. You look over at Anna and Kristoff, who are simply smiling. Hunter is chuckling behind you.

"Oh yes, heaven and hell are giving you their all right now. Mmhm, indeed. Do you still want me to pull her off?" Hunter mocks.

You ignore him and kiss Elsa back. Elsa breaks off and pushes her forehead against yours.

"(Y/N), I'm so sorry. My god am I sorry. I should have known you would never do anything to hurt me. I should have known!"

"Elsa... what are you talking about?"

Elsa looks into your eyes, tears of joy filling them.

"Anna told us what happened."

You look over at Anna.

"To be honest, I'd like to know myself."

Elsa has a questioning look on her face. She notices you have some burn marks and scratches. She looks down your body and backs off.

"(Y/N)! What happened to you? Were you in the middle of that explosion we saw? And who is that?" Elsa asks, pointing at Hunter.

You pass Elsa and spin her around with you. Your arm is around her shoulders as you walk into the house.

"I'll explain all that in a minute. But I would like to know what Anna find out. To be honest, I'm a little clueless right now," you smile.

Hunter walks in after you and closes the door behind him. He takes off his shoes and leans against the wall. You and Elsa sit on the couch. Anna and Kristoff retake their love seat. Anna clears her throat and begins.

"You know, I wanted to tell you this before you ran away. Hans was the one who did this to us. He drugged us both. The waiter at the bar confirmed it."

Your eyes widen and your fists tighten. That name simply causes your blood to boil now. Elsa notices your reaction and places her hand over yours. You relax a little.

"He... he manipulated me twice now..." You mumble.

"What do you mean?" Elsa asks.

You look at Elsa and all her beauty. Her pure eyes staring back at yours. You lower your head.

"I'm going to tell you guys something, and I beg you not to judge me."

The three nod. Hunter closes his eyes. He doesn't really want to hear this.

You tell them everything. You tell them about meeting all the teenagers at the hotel. You tell them about how you got to know them. You explained your journey to the temple, how you found a sword, and how Hans manipulated you into murdering the people you called friend. You tell them about the attack Monarch used and how it destroyed everything around you.

During your story Anna ran beside you and hugged you tight. Elsa kept hold of your hand. You finish your story and let your head hang low. Kristoff slams his hand against the couch.

"Damn that Hans! He thinks he can get away with this?" Kristoff snarls.

Anna and Elsa stay beside you through the whole thing. You can feel Elsa's grip getting colder. You look over at her. Her eyes are fueled with rage against Hans. She wants to make him pay.

"But... they're gone. I'll have to find them, somehow. For now, I'd appreciate a little R&R," you smile.

"You can relax. I'll find out where they went. As soon as I know we'll head out," Hunter plans.

Elsa and Anna turn to face Hunter. Anna squints while scanning him.

"I've seen you before... you were at our school," Anna remembers. "Who is this, (Y/N)?"

You give a sheepish smile and rub the back of your head. You stand up and take position beside Hunter.

"Well... he's my brother," you reveal.

Everyone's jaw drops.

"Yo-you're brother? I thought you were an only child," Elsa recollects.

"So did I. But, we're brothers," you say, weakly chuckling.

"You know, you look alike, sort of," Kristoff admits.

Hunter smiles and pushes you back to the couch.

"Yes that we do. But I think it would be better if I left you all alone for now. As I said, I have things I should be doing and I'm sure you'd rather spend time with (Y/N)."

Hunter begins to walk out but stops in his tracks. He turns around and approaches Elsa.

"Try to keep him out of trouble. Other than me, I think you're the only one that can," he chuckles.

Elsa nods.

Hunter waves goodbye and leaves the house. You look at your friends and smile.

"It's nice to be back. I really did miss you guys."

"I know. What would you ever do without us?" Anna teases.

"Hey! I found other people!" You retort.

"But they'll never be as cool as us," Anna grins, waving her finger at you.

"Yeah, sure. You guys are the epitome of awesome."

"Damn right we are," Kristoff agrees.

You all laugh. You stand up and walk towards the stairs.

"I'm gonna go have a shower. As you can tell, I'm in need of one."

They all nod in agreement almost instantly.

"Well don't be so quick to agree! Sheesh."

You walk up the stairs and to the bathroom. You grab a random towel and set it on the counter to use after. You strip down and turn the water on. You adjust the temperature to your liking before getting in.

Elsa twiddles her thumbs on the couch. Anna and Kristoff turn their attention towards her. They walk over and sit on either side of her.

"Are you okay Elsa?" Anna asks.

"I'm fine. I'm just thinking."

"What about?"

Elsa looks at both Anna and Kristoff before sighing.

"It's just... the only reason he went through all that is because of what I did. If I hadn't of gotten mad at him then he wouldn't have gone through the hell he just explained."

Before Anna or Kristoff can respond, the door opens. Hunter walks back in with a disappointed look on his face. He makes his way in front of the three.

"No, I didn't leave yet and yes, I heard what you said. Look. I'm probably not the person you want comforting you or whatever, but just listen. It's better that you did what you did. It's better that (Y/N) had to go through that. The bad things that happen to us make us stronger. That goes for me, him, and even all of you. Elsa, do you think everything would be the same if you didn't fear your powers for all your life? Yes, it may have been nicer for you then but you wouldn't be the same person you are now. You may not even be dating (Y/N). Hell, Anna might not be dating Kristoff. I know that this sucks right now, but it makes everyone stronger. You don't have to listen to me, but I hope you do. I may not know you personally, but I know how much (Y/N) cares about you. That means I care about you too. All of you. It's best just to look forward and face what comes at you. You're all stronger than this. I know it."

Hunter stares at the three for a moment before leaving. Elsa takes in what Hunter says. Anna and Kristoff watch Hunter leave then turn to Elsa. She has a smile on her face.

"Elsa?" Anna whispers.

"He's right. He. Is. Right."

Elsa gets up and goes upstairs. Anna and Kristoff watch her go then look at each other. They shrug.

"There's no point in blaming myself, and he can't blame himself either. All we have is the joy we make ourselves, so I think it's time for a little joy."

Elsa quietly enters the bathroom.

"Well, things went better than expected. I thought Elsa was going to rip my head off. But hey, I appreciate the greeting," you chuckle.

You rub your face with water then exhale. All of a sudden the curtain moves. You look over to see Elsa with a distinct lack of clothes. You raise your brow at her actions.

"Hello," you stretch out the word.

"May I join you?" Elsa seductively says.

"Well when you ask like that, of course."

Elsa slips into the shower with you. She takes position in front of the water. You wrap your hands around her waist and rest your head beside hers. She smiles and pushes her cheek against yours.

"So, just to be clear... we're okay, right?" You ask.

"Well, I don't know. I think you have to prove how sorry you are," Elsa smiles.

You grin with her and shake your head.

"You're so bad."

Elsa turns around and presses her body against yours. She places her arms around your neck and pulls you closer.

"You have no idea," she whispers.

After a more than satisfying shower, you and Elsa exit. You both dry yourselves off.

"That was... unexpected. Very good. VERY good. But very unexpected," you admit.

Elsa giggles. "I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. I'm just happy you're back. Truly."

Elsa moves close and kisses you.

"I love you," she whispers.

"I love you too, Elsa. More than anything."

"More than steak?"

You pause for a moment. Your mind is swirling with what to say. Elsa's jaw drops in a joking way.

"You can't decide!"

"It's a tough choice," you admit.

Elsa smacks you with the towel.

"Hey, I'm sick and wounded! Sick and wounded!" You cry out.

Anna and Kristoff can hear you two from downstairs. They start laughing uncontrollably.

"See, that's what I've been missing," Anna laughs.

Kristoff nods in agreement.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

You wake up the next morning in a room that is not your own. You start feeling your body once more and realize that there is an unfamiliar feeling. You look at your chest to see a small, pale arm lying on it. The arm leads to Elsa, who is sleeping beside you. Her hair is a little messy but she still manages to look beautiful. You move some of her hair out of her face and stare at her.

You can see her chest moving each time she breathes. You can see her nostrils extend and retract. You can hear her little snore. You always found her snore to be adorable. You always found Elsa to be adorable. You smile and give her a quick kiss on the nose before attempting to escape her grasp.

You slowly lift her arm off you and roll of her bed. You land softly on the ground and look to see if Elsa woke up. She hasn't. You smile in victory then sneak out of her room. You close her door then walk to your room to grab some clothes. You put on some simple attire then lay on your bed. You stretch your arms out and put the behind your head as a rest.

You start to think about Monarch and Hans. There they could have run off to and what their plan is. You clench your fist at the fact that Hans manipulated you so easily and effectively. If Hans is anything, he is a manipulator. You could crush him in with your bare hands if you fought, and you think he knows that. He's scared of you.

You're starting to turn your sorrow into a purpose. He chanted on and on about how you have no reason to fight him. Now you have one. A stronger purpose. You're going to take him down, not matter what. The next time you face Hans, he's going down.

But that's another time. Another person floats into your mind. Elsa. Even though it was a result of Hans, you still hurt her. She has forgiven you, no doubt about that. You start chuckling at the way she forgave you. But you really want to prove to her that she is your one and only.

If only I could show her. I know I can tell her all I want, but actions speak louder than words. Ha, imagine if I never talked and only acted. Man, people would just get mixed signals. But... Wait! I got it! I know how I can prove it to her! I have to get everything ready right now!

You jump out of your bed and head for the door.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Shadow rapidly says. "Are you sure? That's a different kind of plan."

You stop and think for a moment.

"Ok... if I can't get exactly what I'm looking for then I won't, sound fair?"

"And what are you... oh, alright. That seems fair. Go ahead."

You smile and burst out of the room. You rush downstairs to see Kristoff and Anna. Anna is lying on the couch and looks wrong. You walk up to them.

"Hey guys!" You greet. You get a better look at Anna, "Oh man... what's wrong with Anna?"

"She's sick. Has the flu or something. You have to look after her," Kristoff says.

"Get Gerda and Kai to do it! I have to go."

"They are sick too! You have to stay here."

"Why can't you?" You ask.

"I have to check up on Pabbie. Why can't you stay?" Kristoff queries.

You make a few weird gestures then whisper something in his ear. Kristoff's eyes widen.

"What? Really?" He exclaims.

You nod.

"Wow... Never thought I'd see that day. Well... Fine then, but could you check on Pabbie while you're out? Please?"

"Of course! Anything for a pal," you smile.

You pat Kristoff on the shoulder and rush out the door. You jump in your car and fire it up. You back out of the drive way and speed down the road. You pull over a after a few seconds and get your phone out of the holowatch. You look up a certain store's phone number.

"Aha!"

You dial it in and put the phone against your head. A man answers.

"Hi! Listen, I need a very specific one. One with a snowflake on it. Do you have any?"

The man asks a question.

"Yes, one of those. I don't care how expensive it is."

You wait a moment for him to check.

"Perfect! Thank you! I'll be there soon to pick it up!"

You hang up the phone. You can't contain your excitement.

"YES!"

You throw yours hands in the hair and almost punch a hole through your car. You chuckle at your action and grab the wheel. You speed down the road and to your intended destination.

You pull into the parking lot of the mall and park your car. You get out and look around. There are a variety of people. Some couples, singles, and children. You walk into the mall and head towards your intended destination. You pass by a few people before seeing the store you want. You smile and walk in.

It takes you 10 minutes to get what you want. You toss the small object in your pocket and smile. You're ecstatic right now. You can barely believe what you're about to do. You walk to one of the variety stores and buy a drink and your favourite junk food to munch on. You get in your car and start driving. You remember that Kristoff asked you to check up on Pabbie for him, so that's your next stop.

You drive through the city until you reach Kristoff's house. You park in the drive way and walk up to the house. You knock on the door and wait for a moment. One of Kristoff's "siblings" opens the door.

"Hello! You're Kristoff's friend, right? The one who is with Elsa?" She asks.

"Yes that I am."

"What're you doing here? Isn't Kristoff at your house?"

"Well it's not MY house, but yeah he is. He just asked me to check up on Pabbie. May I come in?"

The little girl nods and allows you to walk in. The points towards Pabbie's room then runs off to do her own thing. You smile at her energy and walk to Pabbie. You knock on the door before entering.

"Pabbie, it's (Y/N)," you inform.

"Ah, (Y/N). Come in."

You open the door to find Pabbie on his bed. He looks horrible. You walk towards him.

"Ah, it's good to see you strong and healthy. How are you these days?" Pabbie asks.

"I'm fine, I guess."

You kneel down beside him. Pabbie moves his hand on your head and focuses. His eyes widen and he backs his hand off you.

"I wouldn't use the word fine, dear boy," Pabbie chuckles.

You shrug in your own awkward way.

Pabbie sighs and looks at you.

"(Y/N), I think I need to tell you something. After seeing what you've seen, I need to tell you."

You raise your brow in curiosity. "What are you talking about?"

"Not too long ago an old friend came to see me. His name is Alistair. He's a scientist, like I used to be."

"You were a scientist?" You ask with surprise.

"Yes. I was obsessed with expanding what a human could do. Decades of research into what could make people better. Alistair, came into the picture and helped me a great deal. We found a way to give people psychic abilities."

You tilt your head. "So that's how you can read minds..."

Pabbie nods. "Alistair wasn't content with just psychic ability, however. He wanted more. He continued on with my research and expanded it two fold. I heard he met a woman. They were madly in love, even though she was a little unstable."

"Pabbie, what does this have to do with anything?"

Pabbie sighs. "Alistair married a woman named Juno. They became Mr. and Ms. Knight."

"Knight?" You mutter, trying to think of where you heard that name before.

The two made breakthroughs with my research. They shared it with a secret group called the Hierarchy and took on the mantle of Monarch. Months after, they had a son. Years after that came their second one."

Your eyes widen when you piece it all together.

"Two sons. Hunter and (Y/N) Knight," Pabbie reveals.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! You mean to tell me that the man I just fought – the one who beat me and my brother into pulp – is my father?" You yell.

Pabbie nods. You stumble back. You grab your hair and start walking around the room, trying to cope with this.

"He visited me not long ago, I was hoping that you two would avoid each other but I was wrong," Pabbie explains.

"Why didn't Hunter tell me? Why was I never told this! My parents are the fucking illuminati!"

"That's a little extreme. But I assumed you should be told this."

"Assumed? Yeah! I should have been told! I guess that basically explains why I am the way I am. The reason I have this strength... the reason everything has happened because of them..."

You think back to Elsa's parents. They knew all along. It was laid out for you months ago. You told them that your parents would never put you in a program like theirs. They laughed, and you see why. Your parents led the program they put you in. Not only you, but Elsa, Rain, Gaia, Pyro, and Tempest. Who knows how many others? Your parents did all this. Looks like you're really going to prove Hans wrong with your purpose.

You sigh and sit beside Pabbie. Pabbie stares at you.

"Are you calm now?"

You look over at Pabbie.

"Yeah... yeah, I guess."

"I'm sorry, maybe I should have been less blunt about that," Pabbie apologizes.

"No, no. It's fine. I just... I was happy with my parents being dead. Not happy, but... I was in blissful ignorance, you know?"

Pabbie nods. "I understand. I will stand by my decision. You needed to know that, and maybe you see where you get some of your alters from."

Your face changes to a questioning one.

"What do you mean?"

"Your mother, Juno, she's... mentally unstable. I truly have no idea what makes her love Alistair. He's the only one she cares about. Anyone else is dead to her. She's insane, (Y/N). That's where Carnage comes from. Her."

Carnage was insane... if he gets that from Jun- my mother, then what kind of crazy could she possibly be?

Pabbie starts coughing roughly. You can hear the crackling and pain in his cough.

"Listen, (Y/N). Alistair wants control. He wants everything to be in order because of his past. He experienced a point in his life where he lost all control and he hated it. He wants to make sure the world is stable, and will never waver. Juno just wants whatever Alistair wants. You have to stop them for me. I'm the one who introduced him to this research. I'm the reason all this has happened. You and Elsa have to stop him."

You nod then realize what he said.

Elsa and I? Why not Hunter and I? Why Elsa?

Pabbie starts coughing some more then grabs some water. He lays on his back and takes in some air.

"Thank you for checking up on me (Y/N). Please, honour an old man's last request."

You look at him and nod. You walk out of the room with more information than you ever thought possible. You want to ask Hunter about this, but now isn't the time. You aren't letting anything get in the way of your plan for tonight. You can focus on that later.

You drive back to the Anderson household with your mind on the fritz. You're surprised Shadow hasn't chimed in at any point. You decide to check on him later. You arrive at your house and enter. Kristoff is still with Anna, however he has fallen asleep with her. You raise your brow and check out your holowatch.

"This thing can tell time, right?"

You look at the face of the watch and realize you've actually been gone for a few hours. It certainly didn't feel like it to you. You go to the kitchen to find Elsa making some food for herself. She doesn't notice you come in. You smile and sneak up behind her. You grab her by the waist and twirl around.

"Hey, what the!" Elsa squeals.

Elsa starts giggling when she realizes it's you. You put her on her feet then spin her around to face her. You quickly kiss her before she can say anything. Elsa is pleasantly surprised by this. You back off and smile.

"Hello little lady."

"Little lady?" Elsa giggles.

"Yeah, I'd say you're little. I mean, look at the difference between us," you say, aligning your arm with hers and flexing.

"That's not fair! You're some super human!"

"Yeah, that's true. Plus you're a very slender young woman, so I'll win no matter what," you smile.

Elsa raises her brow and smirks. "What is with you today?"

"Oh nothing. Nothing at all. Hey, you're free today. No matter what," you state.

"What? No, I have to go to work," Elsa says.

"Nope. You're free. Trust me, you'll want to be wide open today!"

"But I-"

"We're going out at 9. Make sure to wear something fancy!" You tell her as you leave the kitchen.

Elsa stands there dumbfounded. She has no idea what just happened. You obviously have something planned, or you wouldn't be this way. She shrugs and looks at the clock. It's 3:48. She still has time to do whatever she wants to do.

You hop into the living room and sit beside Kristoff. You shake him a bit, attempting to wake him up.

"Hmm, yeah?" Kristoff moans.

"Hey, Kristoff. Come on, you should wake up."

Kristoff slips away from Anna and stretches in front of you.

"Have a good sleep?" You smile.

"No. Anna kept sneezing and coughing," Kristoff complains.

"Well, she looks better than when I saw her," you point out.

"Yeah, she's hopped up and cold medication and such. She should be out for a while."

You throw your arm up and use your thumb to point to the door.

"You wanna walk around? Talk a bit?"

Kristoff looks at Anna then back at you. He nods.

The two of you walk out the door and start strolling down the road.

"So you're really going to go through with this, huh?" Kristoff asks with a smile.

You nod. "Yep. Got it in my pocket and everything. Let's just hope it goes well."

"It will."

You both continue to walk.

"Hey Kristoff, can I tell you something?"

"Of course."

"You're my best friend, so I feel like I should tell you. I went to check up on Pabbie, and he told me something. He told me that someone visited him a bit ago. A man named Alistair."

"I remember! He let him into my house. He talked to Pabbie for a little then left. He was sketchy."

You laugh at his statement.

"What?" he questions.

"That man was Monarch. The one behind everything."

"What?" Kristoff yells.

"That man... is also my father."

Kristoff gets in front of you and grabs your shoulders. He has a concerned look on his face.

"WHAT? Who told you that?"

"Pabbie," you reply.

Kristoff lets go of you and starts to think.

"Man... so that was your dad... I thought he looked somewhat familiar. Are you okay with that?"

"I assume you mean am I coping well? And yeah, I'm fine. It's just... weird. He almost killed me twice with no mercy. It doesn't seem very fatherly," you say.

"Well, Elsa's father wasn't very fatherly either. He tried to kill his daughter's boyfriend and ended up killing his daughter. Seems you and Elsa have even more in common," Kristoff snickers.

You chuckle. "Yeah, I suppose. I don't think that's something that will cause more of a bond though."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

You and Kristoff spent the majority of the day together. You talked, ate, and went to the arcade. It was close to 9, and you knew of your date with Elsa. You change into a suit and place your surprise in one of the pockets. You leave your room and wait by the door. You rest up against the wall and close your eyes.

What feels like three seconds passes and Elsa pokes you. You quickly open your eyes and admire Elsa. She has her hair hung down her left shoulder. She is wearing a blue dress made of ice. It looks like the same dress she wore for prom, except better. Whatever it is, she looks drop dead gorgeous. Your mouth drops. You have no words.

Elsa puts her hand over her mouth and giggles. You shake your head and smile at her.

"You look... really nice. Extremely nice."

"Thank you. You look great as well."

"Shall we?" You ask as you extend your hand towards Elsa.

She grabs it and walks outside with you. There is a limo parked on the road for you both. Elsa looks at you with a surprised smile. You smirk and gesture for her to go on. You both walk to the limo. You open the door for Elsa, and she enters. You take a seat beside her and smile.

"A limo, huh? Must be a special occasion," she mentions.

"It is, trust me. Nothing could be more special."

Elsa gives you an odd look but trusts that she'll realize what you mean in time. You and Elsa have one drink while the limo takes you to your next location.

The limo pulls up in front of the fanciest restaurant in Arendelle. You and Elsa exit and stare at the location.

"Here? Well, I won't argue," Elsa smiles.

You both walk in and approach the greeter.

"Hi. Reservation for... for Knight."

Elsa raises her brow.

The greeter checks the list and nods.

"Yes. Two for Knight. Right this way."

The greeter takes you to a table and leaves. You smile and look at Elsa. She takes a regal position and waits for the waiter.

"So, may I ask why the reservation was under the name 'Knight'?" Elsa asks.

"Oh, well I learned my last name while I was gone. I'm Knight. (Y/N) Knight. My brother is Hunter Knight... and..."

Elsa can see your hesitation to continue.

"What's wrong?"

"Elsa... how hard was it for you when you found out your parents were... well evil?"

Elsa thinks for a moment.

"I'm not sure. I was so used to them being gone and didn't rely on them as much as I did when I was younger. I was more worried about your safety than the fact that they were malicious."

You nod in understanding. Elsa tilts her head a bit.

"Why do you ask?"

You sigh. "Pabbie told me about the man I'm after. The man who is the reason for all of this. The reason I'm the way I am. The reason you have the powers over ice."

"So what's the problem?"

"He... his name is Alistair Knight."

"Alistair Knight... like your name. He's your father?"

You nod. Elsa looks at the table then to you. She puts her hand on yours then gives you a comforting smile. You look up at her.

"Take it from me, your parents are not what defines you. It's possible that you could dwell on that information, but it really shouldn't change you."

"Yeah, but-"

"No matter what you're the same (Y/N) I know and love. Knowing who your father is shouldn't change you. I won't let it change you."

You smile and intertwine your fingers with hers.

"You're right, as always. But how about we focus on us tonight."

"Agreed."

You and Elsa have a wonderful dinner. She tells you about what she's doing at work, and how Hans' brothers are somewhat annoying. You laugh at that. After the dinner you and Elsa go back to the limo. It starts driving you through Arendelle.

"So we're going home now?" Elsa asks.

"Almost. We have one more place to go," you grin.

The limo stops, signaling you've arrived at your destination. You smile at the success of you plan. You and Elsa exit the limo. Elsa looks around and realizes where you both are.

"The field?" Elsa giggles.

You lead Elsa down to the middle of the field and let out a huff.

"Lots of stuff has happened here, huh? Lots of bad things."

"Not all bad," Elsa reminds. "There was your one date idea with the fireworks. This was also the place where our relationship truly started."

You nod and go to hold her hand. She gladly accepts. You move in front of her and grab both of her hands.

"Elsa, just listen to me right now. I know that we're okay, but I want you to know that I'm always yours. I want you to know that no matter what happens you are the only one who has my heart. I know I can say it over and over, and I think we both understand that we love each other... but..."

You grab one of her hands on get down on one knee. You pull out a small box from your pocket and hold it out in front of you. Elsa pulls her hands back and covers her mouth in surprise.

"I want to show you that you're the only person I want to be with. You're the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. So..."

You open the box, revealing a ring with a snowflake shaped diamond on it.

"Elsa Anderson, will you marry me?"
