As the months passed Criss started to feel like his life was returning to semi normal. His show Believe getting ready to reopen, The Mind freak production office was busy as it was before his accident, and he felt like himself sometimes but Criss joked that if his hip ached it was going to rain which made everyone including his mother laugh. At his house Criss was thinking as JD came in. "Anyone home". "In the kitchen"Criss called out. He came in as Criss was sitting there in a daze. "What's up?". "I was thinking that everything is coming back together expect for one thing. Why Kurt said I needed to pay. For what". "This is going to nag you isn't it"JD said. "I need to go see him and ask him". "Criss the guy is a psycho he almost killed you and you spent nearly a year getting back to the person I'm staring minus the metal inside you". "I know but I have to know it's like when Aunt Stella first showed that card trick and I would bug her to teach me how to do it. That's what I feel like it's that trick that I need to know how to do but nobody knows expect him"Criss replied. "Do you know where this mental facility is exactly". "That's the problem part of the plea agreement was that the place was private so not even the press knows where it is and Mr. Trust won't tell me".

"I guess it's going to be unsolved. Now come on the crew is waiting for you". When they got to the warehouse a woman who looked like a biker was waiting for them. "Can I help you with something?"JD asked. "I'm looking for Criss Angel". "You found him how can I help you?"Criss stated coming out of the car. She walked up to Criss. "My name's Crystal I'm Kurt Blanco's sister". "If you're here to apologize for you crazy-". "Believe me he deserve where he is but I feel like it's a bit of my fault". "What do you mean Crystal?"Criss inquired as they sat down. "The day of your attack I went to talk to Kurt. I told him that my boyfriend abused me. Kurt kept saying he needs to pay for what he did". "I'm confused"JD stated. "My boyfriend has the same build, hair, and the same motorcycle as Criss. The day he attacked Criss his disease made him think you were my boyfriend"Crystal remarked. "So in his mind he was attacking your boyfriend not me". "Yea I hope this answer any questions you had" Crystal remarked. "Yea it does thanks". Crystal said her good-byes and left. That night Criss was at this house alone so he turned on the radio and MARIAH CAREY BUTTERFLY started to play.

When you love someone so deeply they become your life It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside Blindly I imagined I could keep you under glass Now I understand to hold you I must open up my hands And watch you rise

Criss looked around as memories of the pain he went through both mentally and physical. His brothers helping him as he walked around the house with a walker. His mother being there never leaving his side even when it looked like he was going to meet his father.

I can't pretend these tears aren't over flowing steadily
I can't prevent this hurt from almost overtaking me
But I will stand and say goodbye for you'll never be mine
Until you know the way it feels to fly

Criss looked over at the jar that housed the butterfly so Criss walked over to it took the bottle outside. He opened the jar and watched as the butterfly flew off into the sky.

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun

Criss smiled as the butterfly flew away. When it came time for Believe to reopen the place felt like the first time Criss opened Believe. Criss even saw the people who saved his life standing there. Criss walked over to them and gave them hugs. "We knew you could do it Criss". "With out you guys I'd probably wouldn't be here". They all said thanks as they went to get their seats. In the back as Criss got ready his mother walked in. "You ready Christopher?" she asked as Criss stood up. "Yea but I have to show you something. Criss pulled up his shirt and on his shoulder is a tattoo with a word in Greek: πεταλούδα, "Butterfly interesting" as Criss pulled down his shirt. "It's just what you said mom when I found that butterfly cocoon. I was in that cocoon but now I'm free to spread my wings and fly again. She gave her son a kiss and told him he was ready to spread his wings Criss walked out and the crowd went crazy to see Criss Angel emerge out of his cocoon and back to where he belonged.
