Shane and Lorenza

Porch of her safe house. Their haven.

She felt him walk up behind her there on the porch. Leaning her head back against him. He was the only person really she could relax around outside of her home in the jungle riverland. It was nice. To not have to always be on guard and ready to fight. He was the only person to ever know about this location. She was willing to let him use this place if he needed it. She never let anyone in close.

She looked to Lane when he suspected finally that all the attacks were personal.

Are you sure you are up to this?

Have you ever seen me run away from a fight Lane?

Her tone was devious and insulted at his question

Katia Monroe

She may have had to share the kids with her ex husband which keeps him in her life for SO very much longer than she would have liked but at least when he copped an attitude with the judge She did get the house and half his money. Which afforded her to go back into modeling and hiring a very talented and highly envied personal assistant and agent. Which found her in a pleasurable relationship where neither were tied down by the other... no... Love just good friends riding the hell out of each other when they needed it or just wanted it... permanent booty call if you will.

She sat back by the pool looking over the various offered photo shoots a debating where she wanted to next... The Islands... The Desert... Out west... Where oh where to go? She ran her fingers through her long dark brown hair as she thought about where to go. Her mind however kept slipping back to the other night in the candlelight... satin... wine and her booty call in one of the most sensual passionate nights of her life. She closed her eyes smiling still feeling his lips on her lips and her breasts. So much pleasure with no need for any commitment... not that she would be willing to commit to anyone after her rocky marriage and insane divorce, and she knew he wouldn't either.

So it was perfect... so very... very perfect she thought as she looked at the phone knowing his other half would be leaving for work soon. She had met the life in girlfriend a couple of times and really didn't see what a sensual passionate man like him saw in her. She was a sweet girl or so it seemed even if she wasn't find of him working for her. It was poorly veiled to her then again in her world catty and distrust were just as prominent as photoshop and plastic surgery.

She reached over as the phone rang...

Well hello there...

Craving a thread based off the show "The Librarians"

Stone walked in seeing her standing there walking around studying the Annex and no one else around. Who was she and how did she get in there? He was about to confront her with Jenkins stopped him quickly and pulled him off to the side.

I do not know how it is possible or why but the Library sent her to us.

Jenkins was clearly a little disturbed or distracted by this woman's presence like he knew her or something.

What like another letter so what we have another Librarian?

Oh heavens no. She...

Flynn's voice cuts in as he and the others move to stand next to Jenkins and Stone.

She is the library's Guardian...Actually the first Guardian of the Library.

Cassandra looked confused.

I thought the Librarians were the guardians of the Library?

Jenkins shook his head. The librarians are the ones that find the artifacts for the Library The guardians keep the librarians in line and She is the Library's Guardian.

Yes so how is she here Jenkins?

Flynn tried to ask as Jenkins looked to him with a shrug and she answered him.

I am here because the Library seems to feel that I need to be in the realm of mortals once more and since it sent me here to the Annex and Jenkins as you call him I can only imagine that the library feels that the Librarians require or will require my assistance.

She was standing behind them startling even Baird who tried to throw a punch out of gut reflex only to have her fist caught by the woman.

Eve Baird... Guardian... Yet there are 4 Librarians and 1 guardian and all 4 have survived well Mind, body and soul. I see the library and I chose well.

Glancing to the woman and young man standing next to Eve.

Cassandra... you have made an amazing Librarian for one so young. Ezekiel... You remind me of... a long lost memory... It is good to see that you have grown past your original path in life.

Turning a little she smiled looking at Flynn and Stone

Jacob Stone... The library again made a very impressive selection with you just as it did with Flynn.

Stone smiled feeling honored to be compared to Flynn and that this strange woman knew his name.

Hello Flynn Don't worry... I know what happened to Excalibur. It was time. Even if the serpents had not gotten a hold of it He would have passed in his own way.

Flynn and Jenkins both seemed to straighten up standing taller than normal

Lynessa. Its good to see you again.

Flynn bowed slightly to her as she nodded.

Cassandra was studying her as it seemed she knew all of them but they had no idea who she was.

You have questions Librarian's Then let us go sit down and I will answer what I feel you are able to know.

A smirk played over her lips as she looked to Jenkins again and looked as if she was trying sort out his name compared to what she always knew him to be.

I answer to Jenkins now Lynessa. Far different times call for a far different name and it...

It adds even more distance... I understand... Jenkins. Though I do hope you are still keeping with your amazing teas yes?

With a smile and a slight bow and hurried off saying

Right away and Lynessa it is truly good to see you again old friend.

___________________

Several months of Stone ranting about how they don't use magic it clearly didn't seem to register with him that Lynessa was exactly that... Magic... a living artifact. The daughter of Merlin born behind the wall of magic in a dimension that was pure magic. He also didn't seem to notice how it seemed to hurt her just a little when he said it. Lynessa didn't really show it but Cassandra was picking up on it.

You know Stone you can be really dense when it comes to what you say sometimes. Are your trying to push her away?

What no... what...

Stone stammered

Yeah... right Mr can't truly trust anyone.

Cassandra walked off and looking to Lynessa.

Let's go shopping

Stone...

Jenkins looked over.

Do be careful Lynessa was after all born on the other side of the wall of magic.

Ezekiel picked up on what Jenkins was trying to point out to Stone and added.

Yeah Mate it is a pretty impressive feat of magic for a woman like that to fall for just some bar brawler Oil derrick worker.

Eve motioned to Jenkins that it was clearly over his head right now to figure it out.

It was long assumed that all ley lines were the same. That however is not the case. Some lines of energy presumed to be ley lines are in fact bonds to hold the balance of mortal time. Sometimes however an event can if even briefly break or fray these bonds allowing ancient magics to mix with the modern age.

One such fray cast the first blade the serpent soul into the the modern day... But where?

(Professor or student with some knowledge of ancient missing tribes who might recognize her necklace and it "tattoos")

He was having just your run of the mill day on campus until a strange purple crimson and silvery wave of some kind dashed across campus and then life became very interesting.


___________________

The battle had been long and intense but the first blade of the serpents soul would not be defeated. Her sword sliced through the last of the more monster than men soldiers of Feng Lao as a bright flash flooded the clearing in a ripple of amethyst and silver and strange arcs of power. When she could see again the clearing was gone replaced by strange tall buildings windows of glass people of more races than she could imagine all dressed so strangely and even more strange metal beasts and there she stood in... Was it some castle garden of trees flowers ponds that threw water into the air? She the first blade of the serpents soul swords still in her hands covered in blood she herself splattered with the blood of her enemies.

JessicaDaniels

Regulations be damned they could not stay away from each other. They were in the same department on the same team in the Special unit. It was beyond against the rules not that their Sarge Mark Spencer cared. He had known both of them for a very long time and could tell that they were both the best thing for each other.

Mark had worked with him since the academy and had served with Jessie's father in the military before that. He had watched her balance him and him reign Jessie in when she gets too "focused". Mark however was no fool he knew he could not protect them and their relationship forever.

______________

Detective Daniels you have a call on line one.

Winnie was the dispatch and desk officer for The elite negotiations team.

Thanks Winnie... Let me guess mom?

Every Wednesday...

Hey mom... Yes I remember... No mom... I remember... Mom the alarm just sounded I have to go.

She smiled as the Sarge hit the alarm for her aid in her escape from the phone. Hanging up the phone she smiled.

Thanks Sarge..

She made her way to the in house gym in their HQ. She glanced over with a veiled smile from the treadmill. He was technically her partner even though they all worked as a team. However they were more when they could be.

Lorelei

She had always been a loner throughout school as far back as she could remember. She never truly fit into any of the typical cliques. Now a writer a d even more of a loner she had unfortunately promised perhaps her only friend throughout school that she would attend the 20 yr reunion. Arriving she realized why she was barely what you would call acquaintances with most of the people in the rented banquet hall. Shayla motioned her over. Perhaps one of if not her only friend throughout school. Shayla could mingle with and get along with anyone. Shayla was busy talking with a couple of guys. She suspected they were husband's of actual students till Shayla introduced them. Lorelei couldn't believe it when Shayla called them by name. The duo who seemed to run most of the less common school teams... Martial arts... Gymnastics and the expected football.

Shayla just called this stunning woman over and it's Lore? No fucking way... Gods she hasn't changed at all... Still so real so... Lore. It's asinine looking back we had let ego and rep prevent us from the focus of our dreams back then. Lore was a mystery that most didn't have the guts to solve. However now we are not stupid kids... Easy wasn't what we wanted... They were still all around us. Even more so now in this room since our bank accounts matched our former highschool egos. Nope... We wanted real and we were willing to share it... Maybe?

----------------------

Shayla knew exactly who she was looking for when she dragged Lore to the reunion. She knew Lore would love two men together... Hell at least a third of her books ended up that way and she knew just who she needed to make sure Lore saw. Shayla knew they both liked Lore back then but pathetic school hierarchy didn't exactly have a place for Lore to fit in but now... Shayla was going to play mat blamed.

Hey guys... You will never believe who I got to show up. Wait here...

LORE! Come here you have to see who I just found.

Lore sighed and walked over..

Geez Shayla. Would you be any more loud and obnoxious... Who....

She paused...

Hey guys... Been a long time...

They had found her as a child on earth long before humans really got going with any real technology. They had never seen a being like the child nor had the Goauld and they would soon learn to regret not destroying her.

The main team gets word from Atlantis of a Goauld tablet they found and send images of it to Samantha. She translates it except for a portion that has been intentionally damaged. She asks daddy dearest for help he points out that if it is something so evil the Goauld imprisoned it in a sarcophagus and hid it then it was a good bet it was even more evil than Anubis. Sam is way too curious and hand picks a team including Tealc to find this place and the being imprisoned there. Bratac remembers a child that Nierti or Bast wanted to turn into their child the others said no but One of Anubis many "crimes" he helped whoever do it and sat back laughing as it backfired on them as if he knew it would. They never got to see the side that was kind and almost innocent all they saw was the psychotic break from the total absorption of the symbiote into the system.

Nanaya (Symbiote "name") Arina (Mortal birth name)

------------


Adam Logan had trained and studied to become the SG program's next "Jackson or Carter" he was far more like the most nerdy ous and jumpy McKay who he had spent much of his training with. He was also good at translating most ancient texts and whatever he could not figure out his twin sister the "super" soldier could. IQ was the only thing they had in common in all honesty she was fearless. He jumped every time the gate locked a symbol in place.

He was trying to figure out the warnings and relay them without peeing himself in fear and trying to get the impatient soldiers to STOP PRESSING BUTTONS!!!

Suddenly the ground shook and he found himself with a couple of the soldiers in a subterranean room with... oh no... no no no no no the Golden tomb of evil. Evil was not a word he suspected the Goauld knew about another entity till they found the damaged texts weeks earlier...

No...no no...no no NO one of the soldiers opened the damn thing... what did he say right before that

Trapped woman...

Tribute for the Sacred Witch

Her magic graced every inch of her form. Spells older than time woven through what mortals thought was just hard core art. She had given up on her kind and their petty allegiences and battles. She knew well what they were doing and where it would lead but she had no interesting in saving them again. Not without a price. The question was would they pay it?

They needed her but they didn't know if she would return if even briefly. After all this was not her war. They had created this and now they will need to sacrifice one of their own to her to have any chance of winning this war. They needed her to win.

They could not sacrifice a living battery to her. Not that one would work for her for long if at all. No they would have to sacrifice a powerful young male witch but they needed all of their numbers to survive yet still they needed her to win

She sat back laughing reading the pleading summons to the ancient ceremony lands. She could hear the terror and helplessness even in their written words. Of course they sought her. They had again screwed up and made one too many enemies in the world. Did they truly believe that they would ever wipe out the hunters or the free spirits of their kind. Rules and regimented overlords never survived without backlash for long but clearly the tribunal would never learn that as long as they kept the elder in place. Her methods no longer worked for true survival and life among humans of this age.

She looked to massive bear by her side with a chuckle.

They need me again. You know what that means. Another offering of at least one of their males. Perhaps this time... I should demand 2 as minimum tribute to aid them what do you think old friend?

The bear lifted its head revealing the very grey muzzle proof of its age and snorted only to lay its head back down. Her old friend would pass soon all of her animal and human friends did. Even the offerings they gave her eventually passed yet she did not.

Katarina Mylisan had been the first born of a powerful Lord of the ancient world. From a country no longer known to man. She had been chosen in secret to follow the magical path of her paternal grandmother. Witches seemed eternally to be feared and hated and slaughtered so her path hidden within visits to the great mountain home her grandmother claimed when she "retired" from royal public life. The only granddaughter of her two sons 7 total children she spent much time with her. One other would visit as well. Her cousin Loclan but he had passed from this world as well when their country had been wiped from the lands.

Her magics had for a long time been thought wiped from the world but the tribunal knew better. The tribunal also knew what was required to bring her magic to their aid. It had been this way since her youth when the first witch male given to her as part of her birthright had gotten her cursed by the church. The young man destined to be her gift into the true reveal of her power had been made to hide as a priest by a family who did not want their ancestral ties to witches to be known. She was cursed to live forever seeing neither Heven nor Hell seeing no rest from the world forever. Her lover slain before her and his powerful blood used in the curse against her.

While she was cursed his blood forever kept her his young and beautiful and powerful witch and also set in motion the continuation of there having to be an offering made to gain her favor and aid. A living tribute... a male witch strong of body mind and powers who would love guard and protect her above all including the tribunal and the rest of their world no matter what. His final words at bis final magical death before the council as a spirit they owed a great debt to was simple. Whatever she demands as tribute you will give or lose whatever battle makes you call on her. She has paid her freedom from your rules with her soul and my blood. Leave her out of your petty squabbles unless she returns of her own decision. Until then you will pay with lives and blood to be worthy to ask for her aid and powers just as humans make sacrifices to their gods you will offer living sacrifices to her or my blood will not let you see her aid.

He was her truest protector even in death.

Drawn from her thoughts she felt warmth and smiled. The cross they had painted on her back with her beloved blood now like a warm shawl around her.

Even he thinks I should ask for much more this time than just one powerful son of magic. It has been a while since I have had two lovers at once. You were but an orphaned infant then old man she smiled to the bear.

Her magics had given it an unexpected long life more like human years than animalistic life.

I shall travel to the ancient lands to meet with them and see what catastrophe they require my aid with and make my demands for two minimum for my assistance.

Tribute for the Sacred Witch

As far as mortals were concerned she was an eclectic artist her art all over her body and canvas or whatever other medium she chose was her magic. At least one way her spells came to life.

She arrived at the sacred land of ceremony barely concealing amusement at their regiment and order. Nothing like the nature around them that gave them their powers by their mere birth.

You have truly ignored the signs and cast yourselves and humans into a destruction you can not fix.

She spoke bluntly glaring at the elder directly a clear no no as far as the others around her were concerned but she was different from the elders little scared soldiers and servants to her will and temper. The old woman growled for such contempt but they all knew they could not touch her.

Yes... perhaps the enemy we stood before was not the only one we were dealing with and I may have missed the signs of the other enemies at our doorstep.

Your arrogance keeps doing that doesn't it child?

She replied much to the shock of those around them at her calling the elder child and much to the ire of the elder.

My tribute to you shall be one of our strongest males if not truly our strongest with the hopes that losing him from our ranks to gain your favor will see us to...

Make that 2 and your war will have my aid.

She spoke blunt and direct. One of the tribunal raised a brow having been told that this would happen. A young sensor had told them she would expect more this time. She would not help if they did not give two in a strong act of faith and sacrifice to prove they were worthy of saving. The young witch saw the two males taken by her represented by a Jaguar and a massive wolf black as night both having a strange almost sacred symbol hovering over them. Sadly the young sensor could not see face of the second only that they had chosen the first correctly. The Elder had been made aware of this as well stating they would not sacrifice a second to this relic.

As soon as the command left Katerina's lips a second young man seemed to stand taller in the young sensors eyes as she moved silently to the tribunal and pointed out the one who now appeared as a tall sleek panther. Without caring about the ander of the elder She quickly moved with the others of the tribunal to the young man's side and nodded to him as he smiled and whispered yes to them.

Sacred one we willingly offer two you this young man as the rest of your tribute. Please accept both of these young men as your protectors allies lovers and companions if they please you and lend us your sacred aid in this war that we may win to protect not only the mortals but all of our kind as well.

The Trio...
Unstoppable
Dedicated
Loyal more to each other than the agency.

She had gone into the agency as almost spite against her self centered pseudo aristocratic family of money and heartless calculations. And then one day she left. Retired/resigned and with the help of an old friend became a teacher. It didn't last... It may not have been the world hopping life of the agency but when her psychological expertise was needed she never hesitated.

They had left for perhaps the same unknown reasons but they always kept in touch with her and an eye on her. They were lovers but no one was ever sure which of the three were or if all three were and the agency didn't care they were each the best because of the other two and that's all that mattered.

---------------

She stood there in the computer booth watching him. He had been the tech. If they needed something that didn't theoretically exist he would create it. The case she was consultant on was to say the very least leading everyone around by an unseen detail perhaps right in front of their eyes. With how her mind worked it was becoming most annoying. How was a cut and dry serial killer case turning into this maze of aggravated insanity. She knew there was something even her overly analytical mind was either missing or just not connecting.

He misses you... You know.

He finally spoke while studying the covert Intel he had access to about any of the key players in the case.

Have you found anything yet my partner for this case is on a serious time limit with a new mayor wanting to make a name for themselves.

She knew what he was trying to do and it wasn't going to work. At least not right now.

Ahh yes... New politicians and making a name for themselves... Honestly pathetic really to risk over inflating their presence and power in the beginning just to fall flat at the most inoportune time... Hold on... What is this little encrypted morsel... Give me two hours... Inwill meet you at the bar.

Which one?

She asked casually.

You know damn well which one. As I said he misses you.

He glanced back only to see a smug knowing smirk on her lips.

Break into the file take care of you problem there and I will meet you there.

A slightly swayed turn on her heels after revealing in her own way that she had not missed the rigid tent pole in his dress slacks she winked and walked out to her waiting car. Once she left as if on cue his cellphone rang.

Hello darling... Oh she is just as determined as ever. Yes she will be at the bar this evening. Oh I have plenty to do to help her. My system is still trying to break and encryption... Yes it shouldn't be taking this long which means its... International... But what use is a serial killer to them... Yes call your contact... She needs our help. Like it or not it would appear that it is unstoppable against the world once more.

Professor was her title but she was far more at home in the field. Even if that field was a formal gathering of an exhibition or some long forgotten jungle. She had avoided any sort of assistant the university wanted to assign to her till finally the dean decided to call in an old favor that was owed solely on the principle of it all. Also returning a favor he owed as well to an old family friend which gained her an assistant and like it or not the complete opposite of her. An academic who was home only in a classroom and was in no way ready for the woman who would be his boss.

----------

Dahlia... Where is Professor DaViega?

The tall rather relaxed formal man walked into the office followed by a rather unassuming young man in a tweed suit. Dahlia sighed and pointed to the office.

Dean Corbin she literally just got back from Mongolia and she is...

I know... I know she is in the middle of some research for some Relic or whatever but she will not get out of here without this meeting happening.

With that he walked into the office only to have to avert his eyes and those of the young man as she was in the middle of changing her top as they were walking in.

Oh...oh my... the younger man blundered and turned away quickly as the woman turned to face them.

Dean Corbin... I hope this is a quick visit as I have a flight to catch.

Perfect timing the older man said.


This is your assistant... no you do not get a say in the matter you know that every professor is required to have an assistant. He has just arrived from Europe and his bags are in the trunk of my.car grab your bags and I will take you two to the airport.

Excuse me Cassidy snarled. You are honestly expecting me.to take a jetlag bomb waiting to happen into the field in an active hunt but also a potential warzone? Jacob I think your job is damaged your brain if you remotely think that is a safe idea.

The older man stiffened a little and sighed.

I know it's not ideal Cassidy but you have no choice. My hands are tied are you ready to go?

She looked the young man over... he wasn't without his charms and looks but she maintained her anger.

Fine just dont get in my way.

Wouldn't... wouldn't dream of it professor. Right then... where are we off to?

Egypt... was all she said as she walked out of her office to her secretary and smiled.

You know the drill... will he be meeting me at the airport or the hotel?

Hotel... reservation was made for one though Cassidy should I call and change it?

Yes see if you can upgrade it to one of the suites please. And...

I will inform the museum of the additional person traveling with you.

I approve every dime you request for even the strangest of things. I accept without questions 95% of the time you running off to aid practically every government on the planet you will do one thing I demand.

The dean stiffened up only to clearly rethink his stance when she turned on him like a pack of wolves.

And I bring this university and its museum millions of dollars in artifacts and revenue consistently while teaching classes and attending whatever half baked meeting or conference I am packed and able to go to. A d as for those world governments how many of them have been so grateful they have donated money to departments of all kinds and to the university itself thanks to my work. I will not be held responsible if anything happens to some assistant you demand I take. You will be is that clear?

The dean quickly nodded and hurried her bags to the car without another word

Once on the plane she sat back going over the information glaring at anyone who neared her. He finally got up the nerve to speak sitting beside her.

I have never heard anyone speak like that to a dean... it was... quite... impressive... if not a little... frightening.

She simply looked over at him then back to her research for a moment before speaking.

What cultures are your primary focus in your historical studies and since when does the CIA turn agents into Universities as Assistants to professors who have told them to go to hell every time they have.tried to recruit me? I am not my father nor am I anything like my father. Is that clear?
------‐----------------------

Shit... he had hoped she wouldn't remember his involvement. Like that was fucking possible. They had been involved. Hell he would have loved to continue their... whatever it was connection... love... romance... but the stampeding Buffalo that was his direct superior had used their connection to try to blackmail her into helping hunt if not hand over her father. That was the beginning of the end. She told him go to hell finished the mission we were on and when he woke up she was gone. Finally he answered her.

Shortly after Morocco... I also told Deputy Director Shaw to go to hell. I found myself working in the field more helping an old friend of yours a Dr Reese. I was also introunced to... The good Dean and Reese said he needed a better leash on him for you.

She stood watching from the rooftop. There they were thoae same two humans chasing her prey. They clearly had no idea what they were doing. She shook her head and stepping off the roof landed quietly behind her distracted prey.

Naughty naughty possessing an innocent human... let me fix that for you.

A blade finding housing in the chest just below the heart as she moved behind the frozen being uttering an ancient prayer as she snapped the neck dropping the body as the two men rounded the corner and she was gone.

He's dead Sherlock... just like the others

Watson stood up after examining the corpse.

The same hardly fatal stab wound and their neck broken.

And that same burnt sulfurish smell

Sherlock added irately.

But how and who is this person we keep just barely missing. People guilty of the most well hidden yet heinous crimes are being executed nearly before even we figure out who they are.

He was angry someone was apparently faster at solving these crimes than he was and that did not sit well at all with Sherlock Holmes.

Mrs Hudson was not without her own secrets. She knew who the young woman was roughly. A wanderer traveler a warrior she was perhaps one of the only people alive that the young woman had ever let get close to her. A confirmed roof over her head if her travels brought her to London. A soundproof single room yet none of them ever saw her arrive or leave.
----------------

Several days into this latest visit Mrs Hudson saw her arrive bloody and a little weak.

Oh dear child... lucky for you I have a Dr. under this very roof as well I will call for him.

No... she growled...

Mrs Hudson only briefly looked at her almost like a mother fixing to call down a misbehaving child but instead called out.

JOHN... are you in dear... I could use your assistance with a less than agreeable patient.

With that she tried to get away from the flat only to collapse just outside the door unconscious.

Once John carried her up the stairs and Mrs Hudson moved stuff from the sofa she quickly studied the young woman and seemed pleased not to see something she permitted John to examine her.

This woman looks like she has been in a fight with a wild animal. How do you know her Mrs. Hudson?

Old family friends dear not that it would surprise me if that's not what she did. Always a bit of a wildcat traveling all over has stayed here before. I keep a room here for her when she is in London.
