The Ace's up their Sleves
December 2012; London: Baker Street
John nuzzled into the matters below him only to freeze when he noticed that the smell wasn't his more sandalwood colone but the deeper and more whimsically smell that always followed Sherlock around( Stardust) and he bolted up. As he bolted up though his head became dizzy and he painfully whimpered as it seemed that all the pain he had endured as a soldier had returned double fold in one migraine( included in this pain was the wounds and scars that his own father had given him in the years before Watson Sr had died of alcohol poising). He groaned out as he held his head in his chilled hands, eyes closed.
He was like that for a while when suddenly he got the tingling feeling of being watched. He slowly opened his eyes to see a person( at least he assumed that's what they were) with long hair that was half tan half green and blue, pale-skinned with one green one blue eye. The hair was pulled up in a man bun as their hands fiddled with a red pen that glowed silver on the cap. They frowned at John before stating quite clearly astonished," I am surprised you are awake. Whatever you where ejected with, should've left you out for a month at lest or a coma at most."
John shuddered at the thought, thinking of his sister Harry's reaction. His thoughts were redirected as he asked," Who are you?"
"You would know me as Jo Holmes," They replied. It was at that time that the door opened and two men walked in, one had deep blue eyes under black-framed glasses and was scanning Mz Homes and himself with a look of calculating that not even Sherlock had. The other was in a nurse's uniform.
The Professor looked at the spy and nurse before smiling," Dr Willams and Mr Roadsmen, I suspect."
"Professor, I have to ask you a favour, Need a quick trip in time."
" What year?" They asked. He smiled," January of 2014."
December 2012: London Town
Sherlock watched as X walked back from his mother's TARDIS with the look of pure anger. The last time any of the Homles has seen this look was after the Year that wasn't. It worried him as when the scientist looked to him her gaze turned to one of pure pitty before sighing and walking to his room.
X looked the Professor, Dr Willames, Jack, Mycroft and John Watson before sighing and stating," It's a hormone shifter... one that normally wouldn't work on humans, however, I also did a digonist of John's blood... there is a dormant gene that is rare but not unheard of in humans and other similar tera species. Dr Willams confirmed what I thought of it as well."
John looked at the woman as she pulled out a sheet and said," John, your maternal side carried the possible gene for sub-spicise from Gallarafray."
"What?" John asked looking for all the world like he had been told that magic was real( which it was, but John didn't know much from that side of the world.) The Professor looked at X and clarified," Are you postive?"
"It was awakened by the Hormone shifter. From what I can understand, it only activated because of the compound. I am not sure of the sub-spices, but the makeup of the gene is nearly identical to that of a Timelord. If I had a full sample of it, I might've been able to fully compare the two."
"Really?" Jack asked. X nodded then asked," However, I believe our mutual friend could explain which of her creations it is."
Jack nodded as the Professor frowned," It's out of two, the others weren't capable with timelords. They'll have to be with the suptomes."
"Are you lot saying I am part alien?" John asked.
"Five-tenths alien specifically, any lower and it would have no effect anymore and any higher you'll fully remember what hadn't happened," The Professor corrected before they hummed," though their might've been a resource of the gene in your recent linge."
"Five generations ago, acording to my grandmother," John muttered before sighing," We always thought that she was loony, even with the recent events here in London."
"I suspect most would think that, given what we know," Rory stated before sighing," I've got a twin who was kidnapped when we were babies who's a timetravling Captain."
"Oh that's why you looked familiar, He's a timemaster by now no doubt."
Midnight, November 3rd; McCall-Hale Pack "Cabin", Jefferson National Forest, Virginia
"I'm heading to Wolf Trap for a few hours. Someone need's to talk some fucking sense into Count Lector."
Stiles looked at her and demanded," What happened?"
"That's what I intend on finding out."
Cata turned on her heel and walked back out the door as Stiles sighed," One of us should go with her. Or both... you know how she gets when she's upset."
"More than most... Let me get on something more prestable..."Derek agreed as his mate pulled on a red jacket and followed after the beta-carrier.
Cata sat on the front porch sucking on a toothpick glaring at the moonless night sky and when the alpha pair walked she barely moved before saying," Taking the Camaro or Cantina?"
"Camaro... want to explain what's got you riled up?" Derek asked as they walked over to the black car. She hummed, tossed the toothpick off to the dirt with a sour," Nope."
Stiles sighed as the three got into the Camaro and drove off.
Baltimore, Maryland; 12:30
As the black Camaro roared into the driveway of Count Hannibal Lector M.D, said Ravenstage was glaring at the lightish brown 2004 Ferrari 360 Spider that was parked next to his Bentley. The owner of said Spider stood at his porch with a look that could kill as the shadows around her seemed to fold into her back and sweeping into a wide wingspan.
Once the Camaro stopped Stiles stared at the archangel in mild fear and full respect as she knocked down the door. Hannibal walked out and asked the gathered parties," Yes?"
"You idiot... For someone as smart as you, you are completely dumb when it comes these things. You better get over to Wolf Trap before Will end's up being discovered by someone, hunter or otherwise," The Raven hissed at Hannibal before turning to Stiles and the Hale's," Campbell and Bev are with him. Nixi and the church have placed a warding stone with Campbell. I suspect it'll collapse at dawn though."
"Sphinx... We need to talk," Cata hissed before nodding to the ravenstag and getting back into the Camaro.
January 2014, Sugardale City, New York
All the lights went out as Vlad yelled," Enough!"
The two strangers hands reached into their suit jackets as the lights slowly came back on. Vlad looked at his siblings before sighing," Can we not argue about this."
He turned to the younger and asked," You wanted to talk to me and my brothers?"
"Yes... Specifically Colin."
Colin nodded as he and Klaus stood up and followed Vlad out with Kenna and Vannay staring at each other with concern.
They walked up to the old man's office with the two spies and once inside Roadsmen spoke," Colin here knows me and my companion by other names, Mine, Morgan, his Agent Champagne. I am also known another alise but too much information can kill. Both our organization have reason to believe that your brother, Five is returning tonight. Though that's only why Champagne is here. I am here to bring Colin to his birth mother."
Vlad looked to Klaus with that last sentence and asked," You found her?"
"Across the state line, in Gotham City. She lives alone but is good friends with Bruce Wyne," He replied with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. Colin frowned," Where was she before?"
"We aren't sure."
It was a lie, Colin knew that but he didn't say anything to it. It wasn't his place.
Later that day.
Kanna sighed as she watched her brother reach for a drink. She sighed as she picked up one of the other glasses and said," That's not sobering up any."
"Don't care what I told Luther, he accused us of patricide."
The first for cords of I think we are alone now play out in the house and Kanna chuckled as Klaus pulled her into a swing as he cradled the urn with their father's ashes inside.
Vlad chuckled from the garden as thunder crackled cutting off the song. He watched as Degio burst from the manor followed by Pogo, Vanya, Allison, and Luther. Kenna dragged Klaus out as Vlad chuckled and Vanya asked," What is it?"
"A temporal anomaly, The Nine Umbriels will be complete within two years. The Boy and the Horror will come back to them, Alive and Well. The White Violin and the Rumour will switch for 24 hours but the Arora and the Black Cello will stabilize Space Boy and the Kraken."
Klaus through a fire extesure into the disturbance as Allison asked," What the hell is that going do?"
"I don't know! Do you ave a better Idea?!?"
"Ummm... running, I vote runnin?" Vanya shotted as Luther ushered everyone behind him, well exept Vlad who smirked as without warning the disturbance collapsed in on its self dropping a young boy in the process. The still 13-year-old stood up and Vlad laughed as Colin walked out with Cory and smirked," Holy shit... you weren't joking."
The young boy in question looked around at his body before cursing," Shit."
"Welcome to 2014, little bro," Vlad stated calmly as he walked his now younger brother through what had happened in the ten years.
"Well that happed."
Two hours before Dawn, November 3rd 2013; Wolf Trap, Virginia
Bev and Gwen sighed as the wardstone began to dim and the mystic of the two pulled out some of the powdered darkness she had gotten with her last trip to London and a talon of a gryphon before she heard the tell-tale clopping of hoofs and the short flutter of angel wings. Pocketing the gryphon talon she tirled around as the crimson red eyes of a dominant ravenstag bore down on the two women, while three sets of midnight purple feathered wings folded into the back of Tenebris Celuam. The youngest archangel sighed," Mis Katz, Mis Campbell. Thank you for watching Will up until now."
She glared at the ravenstag as he huffed before continuing," With that being said, I am sure you've been saved from any harm doing by Count Lector."
The Ravenstag's feathered fur rippled as it folded down and a taller, more leaner version of Hannibal Lector stood across from them," For now at least. May I?"
He gestured to the edge of the property they were guarding. Bev frowned," I'm not one to tell someone how to court another, but next time, don't send him it a heat-like state without being on the property."
She stared straight into the other's eyes and he sighed," I must say, I am glad we are on the same side, Ms Katz."
"As am I."
The lent truce was placed as she moved out of his way and Hannibal nearly glided over to the small farmhouse.
