"Nicky...she broke the healing spell. Freedom protected you." I look up at Freedom and nod. "Thank you." I whisper.

"Don't leave again...please."

"I'm sorry. But...it's time. This...was meant to happen, I fear. I'm...sorry." I blink slowly, closing my eyes for a few seconds.

"Jason." She caresses my head in her arms.

"No...I love you both." I grab her hand, and look Freedom in the eyes, before I close them.
