|| Dear Winter || AJR ||
"Winter, fight them." The bit in her ear crackled. She had no control, she didn't want to fight Ezra. Water was building up behind her, waiting for Ezra to approach. A wave the side of a small building was waiting, Winter just in front of it. "So, they've already made you their puppet." Ezra grit his jaw, clearly upset. Winter spread her hand out, closing her fist. The wave crashed down, but Ezra held on. She formed a pillar of ice to stand on, watching as the wave crashed down, droawning any livng creature around her. Anything except Ezra that is, who managed to secure himself on a rock. He stomped on the ground, a boulder flying upwards. He moved his hands, pushing it towards her. Winter dodged, metal twisting itself around Ezra's limbs. "Winter, stop! Just listen to me!" He tried, using pebbles to form armor around his arms and legs to prevent them from twisting.
"Winter, we need him alive." Doc reminded her, not wanting her to crush him. The others had arrived, what would Winter do? She would finish Ezra first, then move on to them. They had something in their hands, they kept trying to shove it in her face, but she needed to focus on Ezra. She had to defeat Ezra first, put him down and then work on the others. They were attacking her to now, though. Fine, she would do this all at once. The thing in their hands caught her eye. She recognized it, but why? Her head was spinning, the air was being squeezed from her lungs. Winter flung her arm out, a wave of ice catching Mercedes off guard, enough to make her stop. She growled, slapping at her own face. "Winter, focus." The Doctor scolded, trying to get her to pay attention. "We need all of them to complete you." All of them, but there was one missing.
"Now!" She whirled around, when had they surrounded her? Winter growled like an animal, a low, gutteral noise. Fire surrounded her, which she put out easily with water. Wind sliced at her, but she wove her armor tighter around herself to protect from the fierce winds. A rock slammed her into a wall, Ezra was still fighting despite the fact that his limbs were pinned down with ice. She saw it again, the glimmer of the necklace. Winter stepped back, realizing. It was jolting. "Winter, fight them." The Doc egged on, they were surrounding her. Oliver was replacing the broken mask, Winter clawed at her own mask, shaking her head. "Now!" Oliver yelled as spikes of ice flew from all directions. Sand grasped at her legs, pulling her down, her mask smacking the floor.
She could feel tightness in her chest as her breath was stolen from her, the combination of broken mask and air being squeezed from her lungs enough to make her dizzy. Her limbs were pinned down by sand, a team effort taking her out. Winter did not fight it, knowing that something was wrong, that she was wrong. Carter stood over her as she passed out, his expression one of pity. "I know it's not your fault," he said softly as she choked, struggling to breathe. "None of us are mad at you, okay?" She nodded weakly as her eyelids fluttered shut, her body giving out.
She awoke tucked into a bed, the familiar feeling of oxygen underneath her nose. Winter sat up slowly, the room dark, light coming from the hallway. Her head felt clearer than it had in who knows how long, her sense of time having been skewed. How long was she there for? A week? A month? How long was she asleep for? Her stomach growled, there was a tray of food sitting on the side table. Winter pulled the oxygen off, grabbing the tray. "Oh, you're awake." Ezra stood in the doorway, stiff. "She's dead, isn't she?" Winter asked softly, suddenly no longer hungry. "Yeah, she is." He replied, remaining in the doorway. "Did I?...." Ezra, shook his head, "No, you didn't. That bastard did," his hands balled into fists. He punched the frame, a chunk taken out.
"Ezra, calm down." Carter was suddenly there, his hand squeezing Ezra's shoulder. "Shut up," Ezra grumbled, stalking away. She didn't blame him, Carter was annoying. "You were out for a while, I was starting to get worried." She nibbled on a bread roll, "Well, my guess is that there were a lot of drugs in my system." She had a blurry memory of the last few days? Weeks? "Yeah, enough to tranqualize a horse." He confirmed, she dipped the bread in the soup, the food already cold. "Does it work? All three of your... powers I mean?" Power, was that really what it was? "Yeah, I can use all of them. I have three Heirs in my head that never shut up," Ame giggled nervously, "They don't exactly get along." Yuuki crossed his arms, clearly glad Winter could hear and see them again.
"Where is Elise-Elise's body being kept? I want to see her."
