Summary
John slipped beneath the duvet, back to Martin and sighed as he felt the bigger man curling around him like a protective wall. „Sleep“, Martin whispered. He put the lights out, and only the thin finger of the streetlight filtered into the room, enough to prevent John from feeling buried again. He closed his eyes.
But instead of sleep, something else came to him.
Visions.
He shifted, buried his face at Martin’s chest, eyes shut tight, but it didn’t matter. He saw, anyway.
Fingers wove through his hair. „John, what is it?“
„Elias“, John wispered. „I … see him. Like he saw me when I was in coma.“Series

Summary
„See me“, John echoed, his voice wavering. He had to force himself to look into those black eyes, eyes like obsidian, lifeless dead stone, but yet … John blinked. Yes, they were there, thin swirls of silver like tiny galaxies turning slowly. He swallowed hard. Those eyes should not be there. They were not meant to be there. And yet they were there, and they were disturbingly beautiful. Strange. John felt he could stare in this black, shimmering abyss for a lifetime.
Martin touched his hand, and he startled. „It’s impossible“, John whispered. He felt Martin’s fingers curl around his shoulder, grounding him in the moment. None of them spoke. The lingering tension made John’s skin crawl. He heard his own heart pounding so loudly he was sure Martin and Elias must hear it. He nearly couldn’t breathe.
„I see you, Archivist“, Elias rasped, and John nearly jumped again.
„How?“ He found himself staring into those black pools again, feeling the vertigo rising, although he safely sat in that old plastic hospital room chair.

Summary
A message from Basira read: Sorry, John, had no time to tell you in person, but I was called by my leading officer. Needed to go back to the institute, seems like they have found something there and wanted to talk it through with someone who knows a little bit more about this damn place. I told them not to touch anything with their bare hands and better actually not to touch anything suspicious at all until I’m there. I will give you a call when I need you and Martin. Anything new? What about Elias?
John blinked and started to type the answer, using only his index finger – he never would learn how to type a message in light-speed using only his thumbs as Martin did.
Got some answers, but we need to talk again. His memory is fractured, he’s exhausted and confused, and he still looks like hell. I have to admit that I somehow pity him. But at leat he knows who he is now … was … he knows his name. And he nearly pleaded with me to tell him about Jonah Magnus. I did, and I will tell him more after a break. Need some tea, and Martin insists I have a sandwich. He’s too good for me. CU later?

Make your statement, Elias. And face your fear. by ShadowandtheMoon

Summary
„John …“
„It’s okay, Martin. Just … stay with me. Anchor me“, John whispered. „I need to know. And he will tell me.“ A veil of green light clouded his vision. Martin’s fingers dug into his clothes, his skin, but he ignored the pain as he faced Elias once again. „You asked for the Archivist, and here I am. Make your statement, Elias. Face your fear.“ Static rose and filled the room. The dim lights flickered. The lines on the monitor came to a halt, but Dr. Miller still watched a slow but regular heartbeat on hers. The hospital room drowned in the pale green glow that no-one would notice through the small window in the door. Time ceased to exist.Series

Summary
Elias turned his head ever so slightly. His eyes were covered with the thin white blindfold John had seen in his visions. He was deadly pale. John noticed more grey in the dark brown hair that framed his narrow face in a remarkably unruly way. It made him appear younger.
„You found me, Archivist.“ Elias breathed a sigh of relief. „I waited …“
„Hello Elias“, John said softly.Series
