Lena nodded. “OK.”
Thor raised Mjolnir, “Heimdall, Bifrost for three to Baffin
now.”
Lena and Leonard stepped next to Thor.
“So…” Lena asked.
“In a moment. But say farewell to Elsa and Anna first.”
“Oh of course.”
“Thanks for the help,” Anna said. “Even if you didn’t do
much.”
“You’re welcome,” Lena said.
“And I hope you find what you’re looking for.”
As they entered the Bifrost Leonard looked around.

“Weak!”
William said as he squirmed.
“I’m
not weak!” the Enigma said. “I just don’t want to hurt you. But I will if you
insist on hurting Osborn!”
“The
same here,” Dafoanairi said, as she came up alongside the Enigma and brandished
her staff.
William
squirmed some more and leapt.
The
Enigma was startled by his leapt and so her concentration was interrupted,
causing her to let go of him. “Eap!”
SpiderGirl
saw it and shot a web to the upper door frame and leapt herself. The two missed
each other, and thus William was able to enter the room.
Harry
threw himself protectively over his father. “No!” he said.
William
was continuing to revert as he approached the bed. As he changed back to his
usual form, his resolve wavered. He then felt something. SpiderGirl had shot a
couple of webs onto his back.”
“Let
me…”
“No!”
SpiderGirl said. “It’s over, William.”
“Now
that we know, we’ll also investigate what happened to you, along with
everything else that’s happening in Lawndale,” Dafoanairi added as she followed
SpiderGirl in.
“But
it will be dangerous,” William said, tiredly as he completely reverted, he sat
in a chair, exhausted.
Doctor
Phillips entered the room, passing the fourth vigilante where she stood next to
the door looking around the room. ‘Except at SpiderGirl, it seems,’ he thought.
He saw that Norman Osborn was still in the same condition. William hadn’t done
anything to him. He also saw that William had collapsed into a chair.

“Of course,” Jane answered.
It didn’t take Helen long to unpack and come back down to
the living room. She saw that Daria had also unpacked and that Quinn and Jane
were waiting.
“Now. I’m calling Mrs. Griffin,” Helen said as she
dialled the Griffin’s number.
“Hello? Griffin’s here.” It was Sandi.
“Sandi? Is your mother there? Tell her it’s Mrs
Morgendorffer.”
“I’ll tell her right now.”
Helen turned to Quinn. “She didn’t say anything about
you.”
“I didn’t expect her to,” Quinn said quietly.
Linda soon came to the phone. “Helen?”

SpiderGirl
webbed him to the chair. “Just as a precaution,” she said. She turned to
Phillips. “Could you tell Peterson we have him secured here?”
“Sure,”
Phillips said as he picked up the room phone.
‘Why
am I taking the calls?’ Cuddy asked herself as she picked up the phone and put
it on speaker.
“Doctor
Phillips here. SpiderGirl has secured young Mr. Morris.”
“I’ll
be right up,” Peterson said.
“The
metahuman has been secured. The lockdown is no longer in effect,” Cuddy
said over the intercom.
The
Shadow took that in as she dashed through the dark corridors. “Oh, I was a
little late, then,” she murmured. ‘May as well return home, relieve Jennifer.’
It
wasn’t long before an orderly ushered Peterson into the room where Osborn was
being treated. “Here it is, officer,” he said,
“Thanks,”
Peterson said as she entered the room.
SpiderGirl,
Dafoanairi and the Engima all looked relieved.
“Thanks
for helping out,” Peterson said. “William Morris. I’m taking you down to the
station for some questions as soon as the Sun has set.”
“I
heard you this morning, at the front door,” William said. “Thanks for helping
the Morgendorffers.”
“And
I’ll have to tell Mrs. Morgendorffer about this as well. Her reputation as a
lawyer precedes her,” Peterson added with a glance at Dafoanairi, who was
making a quick exit with the Enigma.
“I
better get going too,” SpiderGirl said.
“Sure,”
Peterson said.
SpiderGirl
opened the window and swung away.
“That
was touch and go,” the Enigma said as they went to the nearby stairs.
“I
agree. It was lucky SpiderGirl came up with that idea. I probably would have
taken longer to think of it,” Dafoanairi said.
“Probably
not too much longer,” the Enigma said as they came up to the stairs.
Brittany
was glad the situation had been resolved. The lights in the Emergency Room had
been turned back on when she saw Quinn enter.
“Quinn
again?” Ashley-Amber asked. “She must be quite concerned.”
“She
is,” Brittany said as she went over.
“I
got them to turn off the lights,” Quinn said quietly. “After I remembered how
dark the basement was, and that Daria and I didn’t have many of the lights on
in the café last night.”

However, it was only about ten seconds before they
arrived in one of Baffin’s corridors.
“Deck 2, near the Mess Hall,” Lena commented.
“Deck 1 was too small,” Thor said.
“Of course,” Lena said. She tapped her commbadge.
“Andersen to Emerson, Albert and I are back aboard.”
“Lu and Hernandez are beaming up now. Report to the
Observation Lounge,” Emerson ordered.

“That
makes sense,” Brittany commented as she twirled a pigtail. ‘I did think that
the basement was a little dark.’
“And
so, Peterson is taking him in after sunset.”
“Well,
that isn’t long.”
Quinn
looked out the window and saw that the sun was setting, that what could be seen
of Lawndale was already in shadow. “True. Anyway, I better get going. Mom is
expecting me to be at home.”
“I’ll
let you know how I go.”
“Thanks.”
At
the same time Linda got home to find Sam waiting for her int the kitchen. “Sandi
is out with Daria Morgendorffer doing something,” he said.
‘Something
must have come up. That’s why the car is there,’ she thought. “It seems that
they are becoming friends, like she is with Harry Osborn.”
“They
said that they were looking for someone.”
Linda
did hear about the situation at the hospital on the way home. “Maybe,” she said.
She was about to say more when she heard the front door open again. She looked
and saw that Sandi and Daria where there.
‘Should
I let Mother know that Sam has been eavesdropping and knows about our powers?’
Sandi wondered as she went over to the kitchen.
