Dreaming Out Loud

Also on Fanfiction.net and A03

Chapter 108: There's No Place Like Home.

Snow cried out, as another contraction hit, just as they wheeled her into the delivery room.

"We need to move her to the bed now or we won't be able to," Artemis instructed, as David lifted his wife into his arms as gently as possible and placed her on the hospital bed.

"David…" Snow cried.

"It's okay...I'm here, my darling…" he soothed, as he clutched her hand and he looked around, noticing how the lights were beginning to flicker wildly. Instinctively, he knew what it meant, for he remembered the candlelight and lanterns doing the same thing while Snow was giving birth to Emma.

But...I was only four months along before the spell! How is this happening? How do we know I'm not early...what if the baby doesn't make it!" Snow rambled, as she started to hyperventilate.

"No...no...sweetheart, you need to stay calm," Persephone said, as she put her hands on her daughter's belly.

"You're full term," Persephone assured.

"She's right and I'm sensing no abnormalities. The baby's heartbeat is strong," Artemis assured.

"Then somehow the spell just sped up her pregnancy?" David asked.

"That would be my guess. Time travel is forbidden for a reason. Messing with it can create unpredictable results. But the baby is okay," Persephone assured, as Snow's water broke.

"And apparently this one is super impatient and anxious to meet his mommy and daddy," Artemis said, as she positioned Snow to give birth.

"His?" Snow squeaked.

"Yes...I'm sensing the child is male. Are you ready to meet your baby boy?" she asked, with a soft smile. Snow and David nodded eagerly, as another contraction hit.

"It's time to start pushing," Artemis instructed, as she guided Snow through it. Snow cried out and breathed through the push, before relaxing slightly. David put a cool cloth and dabbed her forehead, as he held her and helped brace her through everything, just as he had done when she gave birth to Emma.

"You're doing wonderful honey...this one is very impatient and his head is already crowning," Artemis coached.

"Impatience...I wonder where he gets that from," Persephone mused and David chuckled, as he kissed her hair.

"Not funny," Snow pouted, as another contraction reared up and he braced her.

"Okay...this is the really big push…" Artemis warned. Snow cried out, as her mother and David both held her hands and she fell back against him once it was over.

"Okay...one more big push and it's over," Artemis instructed.

"I can see him, Snow…" David said, as his eyes were big in wonder. With another agonizing push, she finished delivering their son and they looked on in awe, as Artemis cradled their wriggling infant. She smiled down at the infant, waved her hand to clean him off, while Persephone used her own magic to conjure a blanket for him. It was much like Emma, only with a blue ribbon.

"We can add the name to it when you decide," she said and Snow burst into happy tears, as he was placed in her arms.

"Oh Snow…he's perfect…" David uttered, as he stared at their son.

"He is...perfect and completely healthy," Artemis assured. David grinned and kissed her hair. She looked at him with a wide smile and then back down at the perfect bundle in her arms.

Regina sat quietly in the lobby and mulled over the memories she had of both lives. Neither had been very good. She had lost Daniel in both of them and had turned to revenge to satisfy her. But it didn't work and she had almost made the most terrible error in the latter.

"Mom?" Henry said quietly. She looked up to see him standing there with a lidded cup, probably cocoa, in his hand. She spotted Emma nearby, waiting impatiently with Neal and did not miss her hands in his.

"Henry…" she said, as she swallowed thickly. But any words died on her lips, as he hugged her. And she finally let her guard down, as she hugged him back fiercely.

"I'm sorry Henry...I'm sorry for it all," she admitted.

"I know," he answered.

"I just want us all to be a family now. Please Mom…" he pleaded. A tear slipped down her cheek.

"I want that too, Henry," she said, as they spotted Persephone come out into the waiting room. With that, Eli and Hades were on their feet and they and Emma descended upon her for information.

"Come on...let's go hear if you have a new baby aunt or uncle," Regina said, as she took his hand and they joined their family.

~*~

"So...you got to watch it all?" Neal asked, as they enjoyed their cocoa together and walked hand in hand.

"Uh yeah...it was kind of surreal. Where were you in all of it?" she questioned. He shrugged.

"It was more of the same for me, actually. Almost three hundred miserable years in Neverland, followed by making here to this world around 1999," he replied.

"From the looks of things though, a lot changed for everyone else. Those two used to hate each other and it seems now they are being tolerant," Neal mentioned, as he gestured toward Hades and Eli.

"Uh yeah...well, my Mom thinks of them both as her dads now. I guess it's easier to call a truce when you have something in common," she mentioned, though her eyes were now on Regina.

"Think we can do that with her in regard to Henry?" he asked. She nodded.

"Yeah...I think we can," she said, as Persephone came out into the waiting room and they all descended upon her in anticipation.

"Well?" Eli asked with bated breath. She gave them all a teary smile.

"Snow is fine and we have a new healthy baby boy," she said, choking back happy tears, as Hades hugged her.

"He's beautiful and I think Emma should be first to see him," she suggested. The others agreed with smiles, as she returned it and went into the room.

"I assume congratulations are in order," Gold interjected, as he arrived with Belle, along with Jefferson, Amy, and Grace. No one missed that Jefferson and Amy were holding hands and they would later find out that they had found their way to each other during Zelena's spell as well.

"It's a boy," Persephone told them.

"That's wonderful," Belle gushed.

"It is, but I'm afraid we have other serious matters to discuss," Rumple stated.

"Yes...we saw what was outside, but we haven't really had time to process it or let the gravity of it sink in," Hades replied.

"And what exactly did you see?" Regina questioned. Light blue magic swirled in Hades' hand, as he created a transparent image of the entire town and now everything that surrounded it.

"Well...magic has returned at least. That will allow us to get a barrier up...but we're not just dealing with Storybrooke anymore," he said, as they gaped at what they were seeing.

"Whoa…" Henry said in amazement.

"How the hell did this happen?" Regina questioned.

"Time travel has consequences and these would appear to be some of those said consequences," Demeter interjected, as she arrived.

"Mother…" Persephone called, as they hugged.

"How is Snow?" she asked. Persephone smiled.

"She's is doing well...and you have a new great grandson," she replied, bringing a smile to her mother's face.

"Do you think it's because the Black Cauldron was in play that it did this?" Hades asked his mother-in-law.

"It's as good an explanation as any really. This is unprecedented and now we have many Kingdoms out there that are in a new place with very new neighbors," Demeter replied.

"Not to mention other unsavory places," Rumple said, as he stared at a particular island that now rested in their harbor.

"Neverland," Neal said distastefully.

"And Oz…" Regina pointed out, as she spotted the Emerald City across the sea on its own landmass.

"With Zelena gone, we should have nothing to fear from Oz. Glinda rules it now," Hades said.

"What about the wizard?" Henry asked. Hades smiled at the boy.

"Zelena turned him into a flying monkey, but it's not a big loss. He was kind of douche anyway," he answered.

"Language," Persephone scolded.

"What's this?" Henry asked.

"That's Mount Olympus," Demeter replied.

"And this dark mountain?" Henry asked.

"Unfortunately...that's Bald Mountain," Persephone answered.

"Which means Frollo is still out there," Eli surmised.

"Do we know if Arawn is still imprisoned?" Hades asked.

"No...and we need to find out. Between him, Frollo, and Cronus, we could be facing some serious problems," Rumple replied.

"I think the easiest way to explain it is to call all the heads of state together, once Snow is well enough," Eli suggested.

"That's a good idea," Hades agreed, as he used his magic to create a summons and then dispersed it.

"There...it will be delivered to all the Kingdoms. Oz, the Southern Isles, Arendelle, Midas, King Hubert and King Stefan, Camelot, the Maritime Kingdom, Atlantica, and even China," he listed off.

"I can speed up Snow's recovery a bit. If there's one thing I'd like to do for my daughter, it's heal her," Persephone said, as she turned to her fathers.

"But I think she'll up to seeing you both. I know we have a lot to deal with and tell them, but I think we can afford this one evening with our family," she said. They nodded in agreement, as they went in.

"Regina...you and Henry can come too," she suggested.

"Oh...I'm sure Henry would love to, but it's probably not a good idea for me," Regina replied.

"Regina...I know my daughter. She'll want you there," Persephone insisted.

"This is a new day and we are all a family, despite the past actions of everyone," she added. Regina nodded and followed them in.

~*~

Snow and David were positively beaming, as they stared down at their tiny son. He pressed his head against hers and kissed her hair again, as they doted on him.

"Oh Charming...he's perfect," she gushed.

"He is...just like his mother," he agreed, as they heard someone come in and looked up to see their daughter there.

"Emma…" David said, as he opened his arm and she immediately welcomed his embrace.

"Oh wow...look at him," she gushed, as she felt her father kiss her hair.

"I know...perfect, just like his mother and sister," he said.

"Do you want to hold him, sweetheart?" Snow asked.

"Me?" Emma asked in surprise.

"Of course...you're his big sister," David replied.

"Yeah...I guess I am," she said, as she accepted the tiny bundle into her arms.

"Hey kid...I'm Emma," she cooed.

"You know, if things had been different, we'd probably be a lot closer in age, but I think I can still teach you a few things," she told him.

"Like picking locks, how to break the toaster, and acting like you don't know how to cook so Dad will just cook for you, cause not gonna lie kid, our dad can cook," Emma said. David chuckled.

"And I love cooking for my family," he confirmed.

"And it's not like you have to pretend you can't cook very hard, honey," Snow added.

"Hey...ouch mom," Emma protested.

"You know I love you, but it's true," Snow said.

"I make killer pop-tarts," she whispered to her baby brother.

"That's not real food," Snow protested.

"When you're old enough, I'll show my stash of junk food that they don't know about," she whispered to him, making them both chuckle fondly.

"Are you up for some more company?" Persephone asked.

"Of course…" Snow said eagerly, as their family filed in. Ruth and Sera hugged them both, before gushing over the baby.

"Did you want to hold him?" Emma asked. Ruth nodded.

"Yes...but this is not the only grandchild that I want to get to know," she assured, as she touched Emma's arm and looked at her with loving eyes. Emma smiled.

"I'd like that too," she agreed.

"He's beautiful, David," Robert said, as he looked on.

"He is...congratulations, brother," James added.

"Thanks James," David said, as it was clear that peace had been made between them.

"Look at him...he's perfect," Eli said, as he soon got his turn to hold his new grandson.

"Does he have a name yet?" Henry asked curiously, as he peered at the tiny bundle.

"Well...we haven't really decided that yet, but you'll all be the first to know," Snow replied.

"Yeah, I guess you did lose a bit of time to think about baby names," Hades mentioned, as he peered down at him now that he was in Persephone's arms again.

"Oh...you are going to be the most loved little boy ever, aren't you my little prince?" she cooed.

"And the most spoiled," Regina muttered, though it was in a fond manner.

"So not to spoil the mood...but there is more we need to discuss," Hades said.

"Uh yeah...what was everyone looking at out the window back at Cronus' palace?" Emma asked.

"Well, it's easier to show you rather than tell you," Hades said.

"Yes...we're afraid that Storybrooke isn't just Storybrooke any longer," Persephone added, as her husband used his magic to create the transparent layout of the land right before them.

"Whoa...isn't that all the Kingdoms from the Enchanted Forest?" Emma asked.

"And then some. Somehow, when we were brought back, all the realms were brought with us," Hades replied.

"Does this have something to do with that cauldron that Frollo had?" Snow asked.

"It's possible and that spell messed with time. That brings consequences and these may very well be those consequences," Demeter stated.

"Do we know who rules all of these Kingdoms?" David asked in concern.

"We do and I don't foresee most of them being a problem, but I want you both aware of everything. So we sent out a summons and asked all the rulers to convene at Eli's castle tomorrow," Hades replied.

"And don't worry, sweetheart...Artemis and I are going to heal you so you're back to full strength right away," Persephone added.

"Well...I won't say no to that," Snow agreed, a bit tiredly.

"For now though, we want you to enjoy this little one and rest. We can heal you this evening, but rest is still very important," Artemis said.

"What about the ones you do see being a problem?" David asked.

"Well...there's Neverland and that's a story. We also must be cautious when it comes to Camelot," Hades replied.

"We know Lancelot...he's a friend," Snow said.

"Yes...but King Arthur is not what he seems. That's another very long story, but he's not to be trusted. He'll come off as a noble King, but he has sinister purposes. I'll explain more later, but he's one to be wary of," Hades warned.

"King Arthur? I thought he was supposed to be the most noble King in all of legend," David said in surprise.

"And Disney made you and Snow out to be nothing more than a singing, helpless Princess and a nameless Prince. Yet we know the real story is one of a love so true that most can't fathom between two of the most courageous people ever. Stories are not always what they seem," Hades reminded.

"Yeah...Neal told me that Pan is one of the worst villains he's ever encountered," Emma added.

"He's pretty deplorable and Rumpelstiltskin can tell us the most about him," Persephone agreed.

"He's not going to want to tell them about that," Hades whispered to her.

"I don't think he has much choice at this point," she whispered in return and he couldn't disagree.

~*~

Cronus looked at the summons with intrigue. It was no surprise really. Persephone and Hades offered a quick explanation in the form that all the realms had experienced a magical displacement, but that there was absolutely nothing to fear from their new surroundings.

"They're calling all the heads of state to King Eli's palace tomorrow night," Phobos discerned.

"Yes...and we will be there," Cronus confirmed.

"That is still quite some time from now. If you allow me, My Lord, I can assemble an army for us, at least enough of one to make a bold stand of strength," Deimos offered.

"Oh yes, because that worked out so well for your friend King Arawn," Phobos countered.

"You try my patience, brother," Deimos growled.

"Enough…" Cronus interjected between the quibbling brothers.

"We will not make any move that would suggest aggression tomorrow night. Persephone still controls the skies and I suspect there will be attention on many others that will make the heroes weary," he surmised.

"And meanwhile, we can work in the background toward our own goals," Phobos agreed.

"Yes...we are not their biggest problem anymore and we will use that to our advantage," Cronus stated.

~*~

"What happened?" Anna questioned, as she and Elsa looked out over the expanse of their Kingdom.

"I'm...I'm not sure, but that cloud that swallowed us up was definitely magic," Elsa replied, as Kristoff hurried back in.

"Okay...so Sven and I did a quick run through the Kingdom and Arendelle seems to be completely in tact, but the ocean that separated us from Misthaven is suddenly a lot smaller and there's a bunch of other Kingdoms too," he said.

"Do you recognize any of them?" Elsa questioned.

"Uh yeah...quite a few of them actually. The thing is...they're not supposed to be this close to us and then there's this place I don't recognize just east of here. It's a village like I've never seen with a big clock tower," he explained, just as a magical telegram of sorts appeared before them.

"What is that?" Anna asked, as Elsa began to read it.

"It's from King Eli, Queen Persephone, and King Hades, on behalf of their daughter Princess Snow White and their son-in-law, Prince David of the Northern Kingdom," Elsa announced.

"David? I knew a David from Misthaven…" Kristoff mentioned, as they looked at him.

"But it's probably not the same David. My friend was a shepherd," he added.

"Wait...your friend David was a shepherd?" Anna asked.

"Yeah...why?" Kristoff asked.

"Because I met a shepherd named David once on my trip to Misthaven," Anna replied.

"Wow...that's a coincidence. But I'm sure it's not the same David," Kristoff said. But Anna wasn't so sure. Her friend's last words to her were that he was just a shepherd, but she had seen much more in him than that.

"Back to the subject...it says that his displacement was caused by a magic spell, but that there is nothing to fear," Elsa said.

"Great...still doesn't really explain anything though," Kristoff replied.

"They're calling all the heads of state to King Eli's castle tomorrow night. All will be explained then," Elsa continued.

"I guess we're going to the northern Kingdom tomorrow night then," Anna stated, knowing that they were all very curious.

~*~

Glinda stood in the tallest tower, allowing her to overlook Emerald City as a whole and today, she observed much more beyond Oz.

"Glinda...we received this summons," Dorothy said, as she entered the chamber and the blonde witch read it.

"We must prepare to attend this meeting," Glinda stated.

"We don't know these people...this Snow White and Prince David," Dorothy said wearily.

"No, but Snow White is the daughter of Persephone and you do not ignore a summons from her. She is good, as is her daughter," Glinda answered.

"But Hades…" she hissed.

"Things are not always so black and white, Dorothy. He is not the enemy anymore," she chided.

"Zelena has done much damage and if anyone can offer answers to what has happened, it is Persephone and her family," Glinda added.

~*~

The Chernabog flew overhead and the people in town cried out in fright at the sight of the monster. But as it landed atop the clock tower, it became a man and the dwarves looked up with trepidation and confusion.

"Looks like he came too," Happy mentioned.

"Of course he did...we're not lucky enough for him to get left behind," Grumpy grumbled, as Frollo changed forms again and flew over the sea and to another nearby landmass. The cathedral of Notre Dame was very recognizable and a symbol of peace. But he hated that place. The Bishop had excommunicated him and banished him from his homeland. But with his new form and power, there was nothing keeping him out now. He landed before the Bishop and his new right hand, the boy he had raised, Quasimodo.

"Frollo…" he uttered in disbelief.

"I'll be taking that summons, your eminence," he stated.

"You have become what you claim to hate, Judge Frollo and if you did not receive a summons, then you are not invited," the Bishop responded coldly.

"Oh, but I have returned to my homeland and you have no power to banish me away this time. I am here to reclaim my seat as Judge and Supreme Ruler of Paris and Notre Dame," he said, as Quasimodo gasped, watching him turn into his monster form.

"No!" he cried, as the monster breathed fire and swallowed his new mentor up, leaving nothing but ash in his place. And the hunchback could only watch in horror, as Frollo perched himself atop the cathedral, breathing fire in the sky to announce his reign. And Paris would kneel to him, lest it wished to burn.

~*~

King Arthur read the summons and observed the other Kingdoms on the horizon, which were literally in their backyard now.

"Does it say what caused this?" Guinevere asked her husband.

"No...but it promises that all will be explained. We have been summoned by Persephone and Hades themselves, on behalf of their daughter, Snow White and son-in-law, Prince David of the northern Kingdom," he read.

"I've heard of the northern Kingdom. Before Arawn's takeover, it was ruled by King Elijah," she recalled.

"Either way, we can hardly refute an invitation from the Gods and I would be lying if I said I wasn't very intrigued by all of this," he said.

"Then we will answer the summons," she agreed. He nodded.

"Who knows...perhaps this will further us along in our quest to repair Excalibur," he said, revealing that his infamous blade was broken; a carefully maintained secret between them.

~*~

"You're not coming with me, Belle," Rumple refuted, as she followed after him on the beach. Just across from them, there was now a landmass and he had revealed it to be the island of Neverland. And that made Belle naturally very curious.

"I am coming with you…" she insisted and he sighed, as he turned to her.

"Belle...it's too dangerous," he lamented.

"Peter Pan is dangerous?" she questioned.

"YES!" he exclaimed and then took a calming breath.

"Do not let the versions of him in this land's stories fool you. He is nothing like that. He is not just some careless, selfish child that doesn't want to grow up. And the Lost Boys...they and he are nothing short of savages," he insisted.

"Rumple...they're children," she reminded.

"No Belle...Pan is not a child. Those boys are not innocent children. You must not equate their appearance to what they really are," he warned.

"He's right...Pan is ruthless," Hook interjected. They looked up to see the pirate on the Jolly Roger, which was docked nearby.

"Normally, I'd tell you to keep your distance, pirate, but perhaps for once in your life, you can be useful," Rumple said.

"Well, I certainly won't do it for you, but I bare no ill-will to the lovely Lady Belle," he mused, as he hopped down from his ship.

"Pan is...a bloody devil and if you don't believe us, I encourage you to ask Persephone or Hades, for he is one that has kept them rather busy for centuries. If you think the Dark One's body count is...impressive, well, I assure you that he has yet to surpass Pan," Killian revealed. Rumple nodded curtly.

"There is also something else...something I had hoped I would never have to reveal. But now that he is here...I feel that I must tell you," he said, as he glanced at the pirate.

"Your usefulness is at an end," he snapped. Hook rolled his eyes and was about to return to his ship when he froze. Looking up, they saw a boy floating above them in tattered green clothes with a look of smugness on his face.

"You…" Rumple growled.

"Hello...son…" Pan revealed, as he landed before them with his right hand, Felix, next to him.

"You're still young, I see," Rumple commented.

"Yes...I was getting a bit worried, for the amount of Lost Boys has dwindled down to almost nothing. I was running out of youthful souls to feed on. But now...that's all changed," he replied.

"Feeding on youthful souls?" Belle questioned.

"That's right...that's how he stays young. He eats the souls of children and then tosses their lifeless corpses for the sea to swallow in a watery grave," Killian revealed. Belle looked astonished and horrified.

"Though I have to say...him being the father of the bloody Crocodile makes a lot of sense," the pirate added.

"Shut up," Rumple snapped, as he glared at the demon above them.

"You know, I sensed a very bright burst of magic a while ago. It's not often that a child is born with such magic. If I have that soul...it would sustain me for eternity," he said. Belle gasped.

"Snow and David's baby…" she realized, but before they could move, they were frozen by his magic.

"Are you going to kill them?" Felix questioned.

"No...just wipe their memories. I don't want them spoiling my big entrance at the summons tomorrow night," Pan replied. Felix smirked.

"But we weren't invited," he reminded in amusement.

"Well, you know how I love to crash a party," he said, as he waved his hand, zapped their memories, and returned them to Storybrooke. By the time they figured out what might have happened, he would make his grand entrance and introduce himself to Persephone's family.

~*~

Queen Ravenna looked at the summons in her hand with barely concealed rage. It had been sent to her and Arawn's weak brother, Dallben, next in line. Or at least he was, until she put a dagger through his heart. Dallben had taken the Throne after Arawn had been imprisoned, where he still remained and announced to his Kingdom that he would rule benevolently, after the atrocities that Arawn had committed and after Hans' failure to conquer Arendelle.

Honestly, she was surprised to find that she was alive and she wasn't about to waste this second chance she had been granted. She would surprise her still husband, Eli, tomorrow evening, and promise revenge on him and his insipid daughter, who now sat on her Throne with her perfect little family.

"They'll certainly be surprised to see you," Hans mentioned, as he came to stand beside his older sister. She smirked.

"I can hardly wait to see the looks on their faces," she agreed.

Alcohol is the Root of Bad Ideas

Featuring @crazy-bone-lady's Nevia and my Siobhan. Always trouble when those two get together.

Alcohol was the root of all bad ideas. Though, this hardly ranked in the top five for them in their short spans as Guardians. They'd blown up buildings, taken on a Hive God, and one time got Zavala trapped under some mistletoe with Executor Hideo. He had not been amused. Commotion outside got Sio's attention as she propped herself up below the window. Siobhan pulled herself up to look out the barred window. “Well shit.” She wobbled and hugged the bars in a death grip.

“What is it?” Nevia tilted her face up as she leaned next to Siobhan's dangling legs. Neither Hunter would classify as ‘tall’.

“That Captain?” Siobhan was listening as the eliksni spoke outside in a group. She didn't like what he was saying.

“The half naked one that smelled like piss and ether?” They both wrinkled their noses at the memory. They'd been minding their own business in that bar. Simply drinking and catching up, they didn't exactly get to hang out much. The eliksni came in and began making trouble for them. It resulted in an ambush as the two Hunters had headed to their ships. Which landed them both in a Fallen prison being angry about it.

“Yeah that one.” Siobhan stuck out her tongue as the aforementioned Captain met her glare.

“What about him?”

“Pretty sure we shouldn't have insulted his manhood. If I'm hearing this right, they want to turn us over to the Scorn.” Nevia snorted in laughter as Sio dropped back down to the ground. “Or they're wanting to sell us on the black market. I could be wrong. Their dialect isn't like the ones on Earth.”

“Well. They took our weapons and I dunno about you, but Chia won't let me use my blades drunk.” Chia popped out and floated around Nevia's head. The little Ghost bounced in annoyance.

“You almost shot Drifter last time you tried it.” Nevia threw back her head and laughed. That had been funny, for her anyway. She rarely used her Light around Drifter but he'd laid down a challenge. She never backed down from a challenge.

“Did you send that message for me Arawn?” Arawn appeared next to Siobhan and nodded. There was only a few people Siobhan would trust to message to get them out. Her Fireteam or Shaxx.

“He's not happy about it.” Siobhan snorted. She'd endure the lecture on the way back.

“Of course he's not happy about it. I'm drunk and got captured by Fallen.” She giggled and sat next to Nevia. The Hunter nudged her and snarked about newlywed troubles.

“Shaxx says to tell you that he has a thing or two to say when he gets here.” Nevia groaned and her head fell back against the prison walls. She didn't want to listen to a lecture from Shaxx.

“Oh no.” The two Hunters glanced up at Chia. “I contacted Drifter too. I didn't know you were calling Shaxx!” Siobhan held her stomach as she pictured the scenario. Laughter echoed off the prison walls as Nevia joined her. They leaned against each other. The two men weren't hostile with each other, but they'd no doubt butt heads.

“Oh, I think they're here.” Siobhan jumped up to look out the window again. “Yep. Well piss.” She glared in the general vicinity of Shaxx and Drifter. It wasn't pretty.

“What?” Nevia stood on tiptoe but couldn't see over the wall. Stupid prison windows made for fucking tall ass Fallen.

“You'd better come up here and look.” Siobhan held out a hand to her. Nevia hefted herself up into the window with Sio's help and sighed at the sight. Shaxx and Drifter were arguing in the middle of a ring of dead Fallen. The ground was scorched and they were definitely arguing with each other. The body language was hard to deny.

“Oi! Quit your bitching and come get us out!” Nevia yelled out between the bars. They didn't hear her over the approaching ketch. “Well fuck.”

“Uh oh.” Siobhan noticed the very large Shank headed their way. “Watch out!” Her warning and Nevia's went unheeded as the two men continued their bickering. “What the hell were they even arguing about?” Siobhan asked as they saw the Fallen run the two off. “This would be more entertaining if we weren't stuck in here.”

“Some heroes they turned out to be.” Nevia scoffed as she and Siobhan watched the fighting. It was almost as if the Fallen had forgotten about them. The Fallen couldn't get a foothold on the two thanks to Shaxx's arc and Drifter's aim. While it kept them safe, the same couldn't be said for Siobhan and Nevia.

“They're still arguing. And I thought Shaxx and Saladin couldn't get along.” Siobhan propped her cheek on her fist as they watched the fighting. She sighed and wondered how long it would take them to get into the prison.

“We don't have all day. I'm calling in the cavalry.” Arawn told the two Hunters. Siobhan grinned as she knew who that was. Her Fireteam wasn't available so Arawn would only call one other person. When she got there, the two rescuers would be in for one hell of a lecture.

“Oh. Well, looks like they got Drifter. And Shaxx too? Didn't think he'd go down so quick.” Nevia watched as they were led into the building. Both Ghosts disappeared as the door opened. Siobhan and Nevia jumped down from the window to face the newest additions.

“Stay in here filthy Lightbearers.” Siobhan snorted and couldn't let that stand. Not about her husband.

“Better than smelling of stolen ether.” The Vandal roared in anger and raised his hand to strike her. Shaxx sent him flying with a single punch. The others slammed the door shut and locked it before the Guardians could react.

“Khalon!” Siobhan grinned and opened her arms. He placed his hand on her face as she went to give him a hug.

“You're drunk.” His voice lacked any bite, but it was clear he was annoyed.

“Hmm. I am!” She simply wrapped her arms around his waist as he glared at her through his helmet. “I can feel you glaring at me. It's not going to work.” He huffed and rolled his eyes heavenward. She was way too cheery when she was drunk. And grabby. He took her hand and pulled it away from his rear end.

“You okay Quickfang?” Drifter looked over Nevia but didn't see any wounds.

“Tch. I'm fine. We just got into a scuffle with some Fallen.”

“I'd say this isn't quite a scuffle.” He stood next to her as the Fallen scurried around outside.

“What is going on out there?” Shaxx looked towards the door as Drifter spoke.

“And take that you sonofabitch!” The all too familiar voice of Yvette reached them. A Dreg flew by the bars of their jail cell and Siobhan cheered. Even as Shaxx tried to shush her.

“Yvette?” Yvette poked her head across the doorframe. Shaxx couldn't believe it.

“Well I'll be damned. Arawn was telling the truth. Hey, Aine! You gotta come see this!” Yvette called out to her partner in crime.

“Mom!” Siobhan cheered as Yvette snorted.

“You are good and shitfaced aren't ya?” Siobhan nodded with a grin. “Well that explains how you got into this situation. But what about the two of you?” She pointed from Shaxx to Drifter.

“They were arguing!” Siobhan and Nevia told her in unison.

“My my. You two are certainly in a predicament aren't you?” Aine chuckled as she joined Yvette's side. “When Yvette asked me to come, I was expecting only two Guardians.”

“Aine!” Siobhan opened her arms for a hug and buried her face in Aine's hair as the older Guardian gave her the hug.

“I see we've been drinking?” Aine patted her head while Yvette made sure the hallway was clear.

“Just me and Nevia.”

“Well, that explains quite a bit.” Aine smiled as Siobhan turned to speak to Shaxx.

“We were doin’ just fine.” Drifter grumbled as he leaned against the wall.

“Eli Ming, you listen to me.” Aine held up a disapproving finger towards him.

“Ooooohhh, she used the full name. He's in trouble.” Siobhan whispered to Nevia who had to cover her mouth to keep the laughter in. Both did a piss poor job of being discreet.

“Someone sober them up please?” Yvette grinned and shook her head. They were stuck with them.

“Nah. They're fine.” Drifter pinched the bridge of his nose. They were not fine. And if that was how much trouble they got into together it was a wonder the Tower still stood.

“We did manage to reacquire your weapons.” Aine had Lugh transmat them back.

“Ah! Nightmare!” Siobhan hugged her blade as Arawn grumbled about keeping up with it.

“Quickfang!” Nevia strapped it to her side where it belonged.

“Now, shall we go about breaking out of this prison?” Yvette told them as they finished gearing up.

“YEAH!” They were a little too enthusiastic about that.

“I don't really think.” Shaxx started but was ignored as Siobhan and Nevia went charging out the door.

“Let them have their fun. Besides, it'll help sober them up and who knows? Burn off that excess energy.” Yvette patted his shoulder and followed the two girls out with Aine at her side.

“Is this normal for them?” Drifter waved his hand at the door.

“When they get together? Yes.” Shaxx sighed.

“How many times have you rescued them?”

“I usually don't. Her Fireteam can't so I came instead.” Drifter ran a hand over his face. “There would be twice the explosions if they came.”

“I figured…” He gave up and followed behind the group with Shaxx bringing up the rear. They followed the mad laughter and explosions to find Siobhan and Nevia.

“Where did Yvette and Aine go?”

“They went home. Said that since we’re out they aren't needed anymore.”

“They stuck us with babysitting duty.” Drifter stuck his hands in his pockets. Shaxx chuckled as the girls finished up the Fallen in the room.

“Time to head back!” Siobhan yelped when an arm wrapped around her waist and yanked her off her feet.

“Yes. Back to the Tower with you. So you can sleep this off.” She tilted her head to glare at him. She wasn't going anywhere with his arm around her like an iron vise.

“Hmph. Spoilsport.” She grinned at him to ease the sting of her words.

Drifter slung his arm around Nevia's neck and tugged her close. “I've got some bounties for ya to go over back on the Derelict. I'll tell you all about ‘em on the way back.”

“I can fly by myself you know.” She elbowed him in the side but a smile tugged at her lips.

“Sure you can. But then you'd miss hearing about the glimmer.” She wrinkled her nose but gave in. “Alright then. Let's head out.” They left first in a blue shimmer.

“Are we taking your ship?” Siobhan asked as Arawn popped out.

“No. I merely grabbed what was convenient. The ship doesn't have room for two.” Shaxx informed her. Siobhan grinned.

“You're still not piloting it.”

“Awww.” She sighed and they disappeared in a burst of purple.

I don't think I ask you these .... Athena, Olwen. Arawn....

Would you consider yourself an artist? Very much so, I am a very creative person, I draw, paint, write, photograph (even been exhibited in several places) I sew, knit, stitch and all sorts. I am blessed to get that talent from my Mother although not the sew, stitch and knit part as she is terrible at that and is the first to admit it! (she has the excuse of being born with no use in her right hand). My Mama (Mother’s mum) was amazing in that department though, in fact all my toys when little were handmade by my Mama and lots of our clothes too. My mum tried to knit me a jumper once but by the time she finished I was about a foot taller! haha. I learned all my sewing and knitting ect from my Mama and one of my Aunts (Mum’s sisters)

I also cook a lot which I think is creative, I love experimenting in the kitchen and 10 years in no one had died or had any food poisoning so I am lucky there!

But yes the short answer is yes!

What is your favourite flower? ohh I have a few but I think I will go with lillies.

Arawn, I just answered. But I could expand by saying, I am a very shy and introverted person so speaking as myself in front of anyone is petrifying. I mean it is one of those silly things of, I used to perform (dance) in front of literally thousands, no sweat, I can talk in front of a classroom of kids again no sweat but a room of people, adults especially and I want to run and hide!

By the way, ask Ely/Liz about all her creative talents especially her writing she is amazing!!! (she is also a whizz in the kitchen too)
