The Never Ending Quest - Episode 71338

Giving into his rage, Scott beats Krissy to death. His fists flail and his tears fall, police are called, but by the time they get there she has been beaten to a bloody pulp. The rage leaves Scott, and behind there is... nothing.

Numbness

He does not hear them speak to him, nor feel himself cuffed and put into the car. His mind is full of memories, of adventures in the staircase room, of dim memories of his life before the Tower, a thousand shards of the broken mirror that is his life.

He is booked, an appointment with a government psychologist is made, and he does not hear the finality in the closing of his cell.


The diagnosis is quick, and Scott is remanded to a mental institution. He does not know he is there, and takes his pills with the glazed eyes of someone far away. He remains in Faraday Institute for three months before he gets a single visitor.

On November 16th, Josh Burbank, Reaibn, Lots, and Mitchell show up at the front desk. They fill out the paperwork, and are eventually escorted into a room where Scott sits staring into midair, wearing a powder-blue robe.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" asks Lots, as Reaibn surreptitiously pulls out a little tack-like pin from his pocket. "he did kill Krissy! and just look at him..."

"Trust Reaibn" says Josh, looking like a lost puppy, "we have to have Scott back. Life is boring as crap without him. And plus.. its not his fault. That rage did not come from him. It came from outside, we have to find out from where and make them pay." and this with a angry scowl.

Mitchell just nods as Reaibn gives Scott a hug, after getting the OK nod from the orderly outside the door. As stealthily as he can, he pierces his neck with the pin and pushes it flush against the skin. He then sits down across from him and makes small talk. "So, how are they treating you?" he asks, expecting no response and getting none.

They stay for about an hour, talking to Scott and playing board games with him (they have to play his parts too). Finally, they all get up to leave. Mitchell and Lots shake Scott's hand. Josh collapses on him in tears and has to be practically drug out of the room.

They reach the parking lot, and Mitchell lights up a Kretek.* "I think that went well." he says.

Reaibn nods and walks to the van. "Lets leave before that stuff kicks in. When Scott returns to himself, there will be hell to pay." They then pile in and leave.

An hour later...

  1. The drugs kick in, Scott returns to himself.
  2. We follow the van for now, as the team discusses the next phase of their plan.
  3. Across the multiverse, Flagg frowns. This is not going according to plan.
