You've reached the voicemail of Elle Byers-Feynman. If this is related to my store, please call Groovy Books during normal business hours. For anything else, leave a message."
A strange message arrives including the following:
A transfer of a deed of 1 acre to Elle Byers-Feynman. 3 sets of plans for the building of a pool and pool house, with a select one message attached. A rainbow of paint colours with a request to select her favourites.
It ends with:
All my other godchildren have rooms in my house. You're a little old for a nursery, so I hoped a pool to go along with your new house would be a better idea.
It’s about seven hours before Elle answers. Yes. Hours. She’s not feeling too social at the moment, but she’s trying. It’s been a few weird weeks and with Nancy arriving, it’s just gotten weirder. She’ll be fine. She loves Nancy to the moon and back.
She sends back the second pool house and pool combo, the pool circled and sent back with a note that says “maybe no pool?” She has issues with deep bodies of water. But the house is a single floor with a large bedroom, small bathroom and living/dining/kitchen area.
I would like the lavender and the sunflower yellow.
[Jemma's not one to demand thanks for presents as soon as possible, or at all, in most cases. A gift, once given, is the receiver's to do with as they please.
But since she's not keen on a pool --]
What about a splash pad, something Hobbit-themed? The pool house could have an area of old video games too?
[ He wants to not say any over a network device is what he wants. It takes a LOT of effort to activate voice-to-text and he doesn't want to fuck this up or confuse anything. ]
Come home. Don't talk to mom. Don't call her. It's. Please. Come here.
[ He really, really wishes they knew someone who could portal.
By the time she gets there, he's sitting on the floor in front of the kids' room, leaning against the door. The door has a smudge of graveyard dirt on it. There's a blood sigil drawn on an open window, an overturned side-table and clear signs of at least a minor struggle.
Harry is fairly uninjured, at least. His leg hurts from where the table hit him, and his hand is bleeding from where he injured himself for magic-use. But he's breathing pretty rapidly, and his hands are shaking. ]
[ Since their return, Elle and Mike had been glued at the hip. They went everywhere together. Even on stupid things like errands. They’d been separate for a year without really knowing how the other was doing. So it’s prubab unsettling to see Eleven without Mike. But in the house she goes, stopping in the doorway to look at the scene with horror and then to rub to her dad. Mikeless and distressed. ]
Papa has Mikes body. He was fine when he went out to get breakfast stuff, but then he came back and...it wasn’t Mike. Mike would never call me Eleven.
[ Shell explain later how she recognized Papa from body language and tone and facial expression. For now, she’s going to go in to her brother and sister, all smiles and hugs and pretending for their sake that everything is fine. ]
I’m taking them to the SHIELD house. Okay? I want to take you to the clinic first.
[ He freezes at the idea of Elle's 'papa' being here. And having Mike's abilities. Later, he'll kick himself for the delay at mentioning it to Jemma. Even if nothing happens. ]
Electric shock therapy. It’s meant to disrupt the brainwaves to hopefully separate Brenner from Mike. Nothing above the recommended 240 volts, the high end of ECT.
[ And there’s no answer. At all. If Jemma is home, she might hear the part of the house Elle is in shaking just a bit but it settles quick enough. She still won’t be answering any texts or calls until she can get her panic attack down. ]

Dad! Oh, my god. What happened?
Re: Action
He opens his eyes, looking at her. ]
He's got your mother's body. Sarah and Seth are in there. I...I bloodlocked the door. So he couldn't get in.
