open_flameLiz: @CoEdClaire Isn't @hart_john ALWAYS demanding?
John: Hey, both of you shut up. @CoEdClaire
Liz: Don't start...
John: I'm not the one that started it!
Liz: JOHN! Not now, okay. Please.
John: What's got you in such a mood?
Liz: *her hands are shaking, but she sounds amazingly calm* ...Jack is gone. The Fae took him.
John: .....What? And who the hell are the Fae?
Liz: *she folds her hands in her lap, speaking very evenly*Fairy folk. They want him...to fight for them. They took Trevor, Jack went rescue him, but he was captured. *swallows hard* I'm dealing with it. I'll get him back, both of them.
John: How can I help? *is completely earnest about this* I'm not gonna let Jack or his son get hurt.
Liz: I'm on it. Made a deal with the King... @King_Belenus or something. But...thank you. *sighs* If you wanted to help me get packed we can give you a lift to the states. I...can't stay here, not anymore.
John: Hold on. What kind of deal did you make? It doesn't seem like these people mess around. *thinks she got herself intro trouble*
Liz: *she probably did* Don't worry about it, I did what I had to. Trevor and Jack are safe, I know they are. I can...feel it.
John: Liz! Do you honestly think Jack would want you to do something dangerous and stupid for him? What did you do?
Liz: *simply* I took the oath. I'm the shiny new Knight of Fire. In exchange for that, @King_Belenus said they would be...fine.
John: ..Liz. So you've bonded yourself to the people who took your husband and son? Oh, Jack is going to love that.
Liz: ...yeah. What else was I supposed to do? What would YOU have done? *softly* I don't think it's just the Fae I bonded with.
John: *sighs* What are you talking about? What did you do, Liz? All of it. *would have gone in guns blazing, of course*
Liz: Nathan found out that Trevor was taken, and Jack made him take him into Fae. The only way to get in is to be Fae or Fae blessed. Something went wrong, so I took the oath so I can get in there. *drops her voice* But...Trevor told me to...go home and plan.
John: Wise kid, then. You need to seriously think about this. Don't just go in blind. He's right, make a plan. Be careful.
Liz: Kinda weird hearing that coming from you. You seem very impetuous.
John: I am, don't get me wrong. But this is Jack.
Liz: ...yeah. He's got a way of getting people to do things somehow. *softly* Did you wanna help me out? Sooner I get home, the better .
John: I...fine. Might as well.
Liz: You don't HAVE to. I just...thought you might want to help, is all.
John: No, I'll help.
Liz: Thank you. We're gonna try and leave as soon as possible. You can stay at the BPRD, if you want to.
John: I can find a place to stay on my own.
Liz: *nods* Ok. Just wanted to offer, for your help.
John: Thanks. I appreciate it.
Liz: I'm...gonna go get the boys dinner. I'm trying to make things as normal as I can without their dad being around, you know?
John:How much do they know about what's going on?
Liz:*clears her throat, looking away* I said that Jack had to go away on business. But...they're smart, they'll figure it out soon.
John:*nods* We need to get him and Trevor back. Tell me everything you know about these Fae.
Liz:There's two courts, Seelie and UnSeelie. Jack and I have history with the Seelie. Years ago, we stopped the prince from trying to over throw his father. I...killed the Princess on accident, and the Prince sworn vengeance on me. *sighs, her voice quivering as though she wants to cry* He tried to kill me at the wedding..Jack's and mine. He took my fire. *swallows hard* We defeated him, but he came back years later. After the boys were born he came to our home and tried to kill me...and them. *sadly* I lost control, I blew up and killed the Prince. The boys were too young to remember it, but Jack saved them. I guess that's why the King thought I'd make a good Knight...he knows I know how to kill Fae, even if I don't want to. *crying, but she won't let him see* Iron...is their only other weakness as far as I know. Trevor and Thomas have a charm, so do I. *she pulls the oak leaf pendent from under her shirt* Nathan mad them to protect us from the Fae but...Older Trevor took his off, I don't even know why. With everything...I forgot to ask. *she sniffles* This island is supposed to be safe...Nathan put charms and wards and everything here, but something went wrong. *fully weeping* I just wanted to keep Jack safe. I didn't want them to use him.
John:*speechless for a moment, because it's a lot to take in, but he absorbs it, hating that he actually feels sorry for Liz and wants to comfort her, but ignores it, becoming kind of awkward when she cries* Liz why would you make a deal with these people? They have no reason to keep it and every reason to screw you over. And it seems to me like Jack won't like this plan. As for Trevor...what did they want with him in the first place? Or was it just a way to get to Jack? *is impressed with Liz's powers and thinks that perhaps she's a lot stronger than he assumed, despite the fact that she's crying*
Liz: WHAT ELES WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO?!? * on the outburst her entire body flares up in blue, sorrowful flames, which she calls back when she sees them reflect in John's eyes. * They lie, they trick but it's the only way. You can't just walk into Fae, John. You have to be invited or be blessed by them to gain entry. *she shudders* Trevor was bait, I think. They wanted Jack, they want his power, his secret. *she nearly chews a hole though her lip as she considers if she should tell John this.*- He's got...a part of him that's more powerful than anything I've ever seen. He calls it The Brother of the Bad Wolf. It...He...is unstoppable. The ultimate warrior. If you control The Brother, then you're as unstoppable as He is.
John:And the Fae want this. They want to use Jack. And...why do I have a feeling it would destroy him? *this is very not acceptable*
Liz: It's got something to do with the TARDIS, with what Rose Tyler did to Jack to make him a fixed point in time. The Brother showed me how he was made, in Jack's memories, years ago. * she whimpers and shakes her head * I wish the Doctor was here...he'd know what to do. * yeah, Liz NEVER thought she's say that* The Doctor is the only one I've seen who can control the Brother.
John:The Doctor? *frowns* I've heard that name before. Time Lord, isn't he? And he can control this...Brother?
Liz:*nods* That's right. Jack used to travel with him, his ship is what changed Jack and made him so he can't ever die.
John:There is another Time Lord, you know.
Liz: *unable to hide her anger at the Master* I know. I'm not supposed to, but I know -all- about the Master. I saw him in Jack's mind.
John: Couldn't he help? *obviously doesn't know much about the Master*
Liz: You're kidding, right? He's...fucking psychotic! He used Jack like an indestructible toy! He killed him...so many times.
John: He what?!
Liz: He played with Jack. Killed him in ever way he could think of, just because it was 'fun'. And the Doctor -let- the Master do it.
John: Well, then, why do you want to ask the Doctor for help?
Liz: Because I can't stop the Brother. I...I'm scared of Him, OK? He thinks I'm not good enough for Jack, that I'm a...distraction.
John:You're afraid of what someone thinks of you?
Liz:*her jaw hangs open a bit* He... is very persuasive. He's good at making you feel like you're not worth the air you breath.
John: Sounds like a fun guy.
Liz:*matter of factly* I have seen The Brother rip the wings off a demon like a kid playing with a butterfly. He has one purpose to protect Jack, The Doctor and Rose. If anything, and I do mean anything even appears to be a threat, he'll try to destroy it Even if it's...a wife, or children. *she shivers* Jack loving someone other than 'The Oncoming Storm' and 'The Bad Wolf' is last thing the Brother wants. He thinks it will only end in Jack getting hurt.
John:So why not just...get rid of that part of him?
Liz: *she snorts bitterly* Like it's that easy. They're both...Jack. It's not schizophrenia or something like that. It's...like my fire. It's a part of him. The Brother and Jack need to coexist but...Jack doesn't want that. He's always trying to fight him.
John: So what are you going to do once you find him? What if they've already turned him?
Liz:*softly* I don't know. Think that's why Trevor got in my head somehow and told me to wait, to not be...stupid or I'd get killed.
John: I think he's right.
Liz:I know...why do you think I'm going home? *she smiles, almost proud* Donno who Trev gets it from; Jack and I aren't that smart.
John:Jack's a fly-by-the-seat-of-his-pants kind of guy, same as me. But maybe you two taught your kids a thing or two.
Liz: *she actually blushes* Maybe...or maybe he just takes after the man we named him after. Makes more sense.
John:Who was that?
Liz:Trevor Broom. He was the founder of the BPRD. He was like a father to me. One of the few people who treated me like a person. Jack met him in WWII, when Hellboy came though the portal. *headtilt* Do you know about Hellboy?
John:No, can't say that I do. Interesting name, though.
Liz: It...fits him. *smiles* You'll meet HB when we get back to Newark. *srsly* Try not to stare at his horns, it pissed him off.
John:Horns? He has horns? Where, exactly?
Liz: *smiles* On his head, duh. Watch out for the tail, too. He likes to trip the new guys with it.
John:Good to know.
Liz:You're welcome, then.
John:Right. If you want me to help you pack, you'll have to tell me what you're taking.
Liz:Everything...just...I donno. Distract the boys while I throw stuff in a bag. Tell them you're their...Uncle John or something.
John: *eyebrow* You really want that? *doesn't know how to deal with kids!*
Liz:...unless you want to help me pack my lingerie? *winces, fully expecting a smart ass comment to that*
John: Actually, that sounds like fun. I bet you have a lot of fun things, don't you?
Liz: I didn't bring much of the extreme stuff actually.*facepalms* You should see what I have at home. *oh, shut up, Liz!*
John:Is that an invitation? *eyebrow waggle* Because I'd gladly take it. You have a wonderful body.
Liz:*glare* Not that kinda girl, John. Just go help my kids collect sea shells and NO graphic stories, you got me?
John:Fine, fine. God, you're no fun. *pouts*
Liz: My husband is missing and I have to fight in a war while I'm pregnant. Be happy the island isn't a smoking crater,all right?
John:Fair enough. *halfway turned on and halfway afraid* I'll just...go now.
Liz: *softly, but sincerely* Thank you, John. I donno what I'd do without your help. Jack...would be very happy with you, I think.
John:*nods* Thanks. I wanna get them back as much as you do, Liz. *and the fact that he's been calling her Liz instead of Jazz Hands means he's being serious and *gasp* actually respects her*
Liz: I know. *smiles weakly* You...really love Jack and that means we're on the same team right now.
John:*nods* I guess it does.
John: Hey, both of you shut up. @CoEdClaire
