Everything was a dream (76)

Marcus could hear more foot traffic then 'Hey my love, Richie needs to talk to you.'

"Hello?"

"Hi Mickey, glad you are awake now. I need your help to get rid of Kara. You know who we really are don't you?" Marcus said.

"Yes, you are my brother. But I am scared this creature is powerful. I am not strong enough."

"Believe me when I say that together we are. You know our other brother?"

"Yes, Heny. Funny, in this life he took your spot in the medical field. He was really bad at school before." Mickey laughed.

"Did Harper go to get him?" Marcus asked.

"Yes, but I don't think he knows who we are."

"No and we will keep it that way. Only me and you will know the whole truth. But remember we now have four other brothers to strengthen us and together we can do this."

"I trust you. Marcus, Thank you for being my brother in both lives." Mickey said then a door opened and Heny walked in. 'Is that Richie?' 'Yes'

"Get your ass back here now!" Heny yells into the phone.

"I missed you too. I will be back in three days but I need you to send me a list of everything you need. Some of the more uncommon ones could be here."

"Ok, I'll do that. Are you ok now?"

"Yes, I finally seen the light."

"Good because if you still act this way we are all going to beat you to death." Heny said.

It did not take long for the list to appear on Harrison's phone and as Marcus was going through it and through the hidden ingredients in his old room he found three other needed one.

The next day he hired Maggie's son to stay and take care of the place while he was gone and they headed back to the city to catch a plane. Harrison was quite on the way just watching his brother. He was something. Marcus being the younger brother he had always taken care of him. Why was it that way. He should of been the one to take care of his little brother.

While Lily slept in his arms he looked at his brother gentle face. "Marcus, are you asleep?"

"No, Harry. Did you need something?" Marcus asked.

"I want to make everything up to you. How can I help?"

"There is nothing to make up. However I will need your help soon to destroy this creature and save my Mermaid. Can I count on you?"

"Yes, you can."

Marcus explained what they would need to do and what part Harry would play. He went over it in detail and by the time they landed both were tried.

Tubby met them at the airport and drove them back to the base and the first thing he did was look for his Mermaid. He found her in the green house.

She ran into his arms.

"You are a sight for sore eyes. How are you feeling?"

"Better now that you are here." She said.

He pulled her over to a bench and pulled her into his lap and just held her tight. They did not speak for a long time.

"I will make this all better, I promise."

Soon Heny came looking for him. "We need to get started. Ariel does not have a lot of time left."

They stood and followed Heny into the lab.

All night they work as a team going over everything Richie and Mickey had told them. This would work with the team work they would have.

When Marcus finally went in to talk to Kara he was a little shock at seeing Sarah's body. He knew that the last step to making the antidote was in her hands and if they did not have the right timing Ariel would die.

She smiled as he walked into the room. "Are you ready?"

"Yes, You will not go back on your word?" He asked.

"No, I won't if you won't." She smiled that creepy smile at him.

He undid her cuffs and help her into a wheelchair. He then brought her to the lab.

She then mixed the things that were given to her while chanting something. Then a puff of purple smoke and everything went black.

Marcus felt pain lots of pain ran over his body. He could not stand the pain. What was going on?

Then he heard a soft voice. "Uncle Marcus are you all right?"

It was Lily's soft voice calling to him. Where was he?

"Lily leave him alone. He needs his rest." That was Harry's voice.

Marcus tried his best to open his eyes and when he finally made it pain shot through him again.

"Careful. You were in an explosion. Don't try to move." Harrison said.

"Ariel?" He gasped out.

"Who?" Harrison asked.

"My wife Ariel?"

"Marcus, you are not married. What are you talking about?"

"What happened Harry?" Marcus ask.

"Don't call me Harry. You were in a car accident. The car rolled over and an explosion threw you out of the car." Harrison said.

"Marcus are you in pain do we need to get a doctor?" This voice he turned to see Kimmy standing there smiling down at him.

"You died" he said.

"Marcus don't say such things. You are my best friend and the godfather of Lily."

He shook his head a few times. A dream was his life nothing but a dream. What about Ariel?

A doctor came in and looked over Marcus. His brother had taken Kimmy and Lily home.

"How long have I been out?" He asked the doctor.

"Two months. You were in and out. You kept calling for someone named Ariel."

"Can I get a computer?" He asked.

"I'll see what I can do?"

A few hours went by and Harrison came in with a laptop and phone for Marcus.

"Thanks Harry."

"Please stop it. Don't call me Harry."

"We will never be true brothers will we?" Marcus asked.

"Marcus is there anything else you need?" Harrison asked.

"No, That's all." He said as his brother walked out of the room. Everything was a dream. His brother was back to hating him. It also means that his father was still doing all the bad things he did.

He sent out a quick email to the gang. Asking to meet with them all soon. He knew he could always count on his real brothers.

Then he searched the web for Ariel Marie Thomas.
