The Search
Niko P.O.V
It shouldn't be possible. How does someone just disappear like that? I was holding Lu waiting for help to arrive, my tears dripping on her face as she began to fade away until there was nothing left for me to hold onto. I couldn't help the wail that left my lips. I searched around me for any sign of her, clawing at the empty space in front of me.
“Lu? She was just here!” I’m sure I looked like a crazy person in the middle of the street screaming, blood coating my shirt. I searched through the car wreck for any sign of her. The driver in the car was bleeding from his head, eyes closed, slow ragged breaths coming from the man but no sign of Lu. I couldn't help myself from feeling anger as I saw him lay there, he reeked of booze and noted the broken liquor bottles pool beneath him.
“Fucking drunk bastard!” the sound of the ambulance echoing in the background, I turned to look around me, people were whispering and pointing at me. When I felt a hand placed on my shoulder it was a medic “Are you okay? Do you have any lesions on you?” he patted me down trying to find the source of the blood. He wouldn’t find any, it was Lu who was hurt. Not me...
I shook my head “No-” my throat felt dry “my sister she - she, she's gone” He looked at me and gazed at the car wreck. I knew that look, pity but he didn't understand. “No, you don't understand, Lucia she disappeared in front of my eyes I was holding her and the next thing I know she’s gone, how is that possible?” I could feel my head pounding.
“Sir I believe you might’ve hit your head please let me help you” the paramedic started working on me as I looked back at the car my thoughts running wild. I couldn’t have imagined her, right?
I look down at my hands the blood is still there I go reach for my phone to call our parents maybe even try to call Lu's phone when chills seep through my body almost freezing, its quiet as if the world has gone still. I glance at the medic by my side frozen in place, everyone is but me.
"What are you doing man? hanging around the no-Maj, shouldn't you know that under no circumstances are you allowed to use magic in this vicinity especially prohibited time magic"
The man wore a suit like those from The Men in Black movies with the sunglasses and everything except he waved a stick around, I noticed a shiny badge on his chest with a bird emblem. It seemed familiar but his words not making any sense what Magic, No-Mag what the hell is he on?
"Look man what’s your name? We can do this the easy way or the hard way, but I'm putting you under my custody. Ugh I will have to report this to my superiors. My first day back from my vacation I have to deal with this" the weird officer starts making his way towards me and I subconsciously take a step back "Sorry I don't have any idea what in the world you are talking about, I just want to find my sister and go back home. And honestly why are you waving a stick around, you believe you're a wizard or something" semi shouting at him the man stills and looks offended and a bit mad uh oh maybe I could've gone without mentioning his stick.
I'm about to quickly retort that I meant no offense if he wanted to believe he was a wizard I had no problem with that but I had bigger things to deal with than another crazy person when I feel a pull down my leg numbness coating my whole body, my view became cloudy and the last thing I saw was the strange man running towards me his frightened face as he shouted something pointing his weird stick at me when it all went black.
Remus P.O.V
I looked down at Lucia here she was in my arms I couldn't help but take her in all over again sun kissed skin, long dark eyelashes, small birthmarks covered the side of her eyes, cheeks and the upper part of her lip, before I realized I had brushed my fingers against them. She was perfect, I knew well what she meant to me the signs were all there. I just never expected for me to have one it’s a myth as far as I knew, few werewolves met their fated mate. I was holding her and I still couldn't believe my eyes, how was this possible? All of it - the time travel maybe even different realities none of it made sense
"Remus do you believe her?" I saw James from the corner of my eye carefully stepping near me, he stared at Lucia's unconscious state and I couldn't help bubble of jealousy from surging forth. I shook myself 'Calm it down he's James he isn't a threat to you'
"I do, Prongs what else could explain this, we have never seen her before, she knew about us even me and then her "phone" with all her pictures I'm sorry but muggle technology isn't that far advanced yet as far as I know" I needed to get her to Dumbledore and figure why she was sent here.
"What if she's spy? She could be part of you know who" Peter timidly asked
My head snapped to him and a low growl escaped me I couldn't help but clutch onto Lucia as if he was threating to harm her. "Oy mate calm down, what Peter meant was that it wouldn't hurt to be careful isn't that right Wormtail? Sirius stood in front of Peter his hands out in front of him
"Yy-ee-ess" Peter hurriedly squeaked out.
"Do you know why Moony's acting that way?" James’s question conjured a wave of silence from me. I could tell them but how could they understand I was bound to her in a way that I couldn't explain in words, just the mere thought of not being a part of her life was sickening. But she couldn't bind herself to me.
I glanced down at her again she was beautiful, far too beautiful for someone like me, I couldn't do that to her, curse her to a life with me with a monster. So, I said the only thing that was reasonable "she is pack I don't know how or why but Moony cares for her. He wants to protect her" I stared at Lucia as the lies spouted from my mouth.
Without looking at them, I could tell that James and Sirius didn't believe a lick of what I said, the only person that seemed to believe my words was Peter.
"Okay then how should we take her to Dumbledore office then without anyone noticing?" James asked taking his glasses off to rub his eyes. I was about to answer When I felt Lucia shake, I could hear Sirius's voice "She-she's bloody glowing Moony, Merlin's balls are you guys seeing this?"
And it was true she was glowing, ethereal that was the only thing that could describe her at the moment, from my arms she slowly rose up her feet never touching the ground, she outstretched her hand and her eyes opened with the same glow that surrounded her body she opened her hand releasing a flash that blinded the whole room.
I shut my eyes and I could hear the guys groans at the sudden onslaught of light. A few seconds passed and she slowly dimmed, the light that covered her disappearing slowly and she quickly descended down as I caught her just in time. I checked her over to see if she had woken up nothing, she slept like nothing had happened.
"What in merlin's name was that?" Sirius was the first to recover rubbing his eyes
"I'm already nearly blind, what the hell just happened?" James groaned out I couldn't help the smile that made its way to my mouth but, that was the question what did happen we had to get Lucia to Dumbledore fast before anything else happened to her. I rose to my feet and I carried Lucia in my arms ready to leave.
"Um guy's who's that?" Peter announced his hand pointing at the foot of the bed.
There laid an unconscious boy who bore a striking resemblance to Lucia, Sirius was about to check him when the boy shot up, he looked around the room until his gaze finally landed me and then to Lucia his eyes widen "Who the fuck are you? and what are doing with my sister?"
Niko P.O.V
Why is Spiderman holding my sister? And is that, Prince Caspian? And why does glasses dude look oddly familiar and oh shit is that, Harry Osborn.
“Are you going to answer me! What are you doing with my sister? She needs medical help she was just in a car accident! I go to stand and wobble down no strength in my legs and I began to realize my hands seemed smaller, it was like I was a kid again
Fuck no, I swear once I grab Lu and makes, she’s alright I’m going to throw up or punch the person closets to me.
“Mate look shouldn’t we be asking you that question you just appeared here?” Caspian responded his hands extended like as if he was calming a wild animal, the animal in question being me but glancing around the room I realize “where the fuck are we it looks like a dump here?” the words slip out my mouth before I realize and Glasses guy busted out laughing.
“This kid oh merlin I like him Sirius doesn’t he look around the age of your- “he got cut off by Spider man “James not helping” with a glare he shut him up.
“shouldn’t we be bringing them to Dumbledore now” Harry Osborn squeaked out
Dumbledore? oh hells no nope I refuse to meet that man with a “twinkle in his eye” wait so does that mean “are we in fucking Hogwarts? gods Lu what the hell, am I dreaming no what did she call it Lucid dreaming? no shifting wait was it shifting oh no I can’t remember” continuing on to ramble to nobody in particular.
My ramblings stopped when I felt a hand on my shoulder Prince Caspian shook the shit out of me “Mate stop talking hell I never thought I would say this to someone else but do you ever get tired of talking?”
Shaking him off “haven’t you heard of stranger danger I don’t know any of you?”
“Really that surprising since your sister over there had quite lot of things to say about us”
I glance at Lucia still in Spidey’s arms “yea well she’s kind of obsessed with this place magic really but since we don’t have any so I don’t know how we got here. So, Spidey why you holding my sister like that?”
We continued to stare at each other awkwardly since he didn’t seem to hear a word, I said I repeated it.
“Mind letting go?” he has the audacity to growl at me! like a dog “excuse me? Why are you growling at me, you good?”
His eyes shined gold and he hugged Lucia closer as he let out a series of growls to all of us even his friends seemed put out by his behavior Caspian in particular.
“Moony, no one is trying to take Lucia away from you. We just want to check if she’s okay would you let us come closer?” The guy names James or Glasses responded.
Spidey continued to growl but it became less aggressive and became more of a whine and finally he relinquished my sister. As his friends held him back, I creeped closer to take a look at her she seemed different younger and she wasn’t bleeding out except for a wound on her knee and her ankle being bandaged up.
I shook her to see if she would wake up surprise she didn’t and then I did the “Thing” I always did to her whenever she wouldn’t wake up, I slapped her. “Oh shit” someone exclaimed I couldn’t tell since I was being lifted from the ground by Spidey, eyes gold and growling at me.
Was it the best idea I had, no but I knew how to wake up my sister.
“Jesus ow Niko how many times do I have to tell you, stop slapping me I swear I will burn your hair off when I catch you” I smirked in response at the glares that Spidey was giving me “see she woke up, now let go of me you caveman”
