cross_and_bow | we are convenient to major metropolises

This vampire nest was supposed to have six vampires in it. This trip to L.A. was supposed to involve this nest as the first stop of several. This time Sherlock's information is imperfect.

[Fuck,] says Bella, after having burst through the door, masked and armed with her stake, [they're having all their friends over today - help -]

"Do you want to wait a bit to see if you think of anything, or shall I just rapid-fire everything under discussion?"

"Go for it."

Evil on herself. Ah, that feels better, that feels much better. All of Sherlocks' requests, applied to the vampire one. "There's me and you powered up, and -" She focuses on the parameters of the merger. Human Downsider one as the template for the torching and the soul, plus vampire's memories, lack of self-loathing, magic grafts, technical vampirism plus the new immunities - and the vampire one loves her, she is sure to note in her wish design that this is to be included -

She takes a deep breath.

She closes her eyes.

She wishes on the evil.

"Well," says Sherlock. "Look at me."

"Lookit you," Tony agrees. "Being all one of you and stuff."

He claims first hug on the new Sherry.

Juliet allows it without protest.

The previous non-vampire Sherlock might have guessed something about what vampire-her did, but he did not remember it, and she is not sure to what extent the consolidation may feel like learning something new.

He picks Tony up and spins him around and sets him down and kisses him on the cheek.

Then he sits down by Juliet and scoops her into his arms.

That answers that. At least partly. Hugs!

From:

eversomuchfun

Hugs. Definitely hugs.

"Home to go tell Charlie and Giles and Jarvis that I am - well, I guess I technically am dead, but that I will not be behaving in a manner befitting a dead person? And Jarvis will be interested to see Tony, I imagine. And I should warn the next Slayer. Definitely have to give her a heads-up."

"Home," Sherlock agrees.

From:

"...Ah, no, I'm wrong, Golden didn't write about this in the Bellbook. I will do that first."

But she can now do it very, very fast!

"Now we can leave." And she leads the way out of the Belltower.

Tony follows.

"Have I mentioned I'm glad I'm not dead? Well—you know what I mean. Whatever."

From:

cross_and_bow

"I'm glad you're conscious-and-capable-of-affecting-the-world too!" says Juliet merrily. [Giles, am okay now, will explain later,] she adds as they step into the brick building. "Hi, Jarvis! This is the local Tony, rescued from the afterlife, and a slightly remodeled Sherlock, and I was also rescued from the afterlife but am not remodeled except for some superpowers!"

"I have a soul now," Sherlock says brightly. "It is not a significant encumbrance."

From:

"Congratulations to all of you. Would you like to call your father now, Bella?"

From:

cross_and_bow

"I was thinking I'd go see him in person," says Bella. "Sherlock, Tony, either of you want to come along?"

From:

eversomuchfun

"Pick me! Pick me!"

From:

"I'll sit this one out," Tony decides.

Invisibility! Teleportation!

Charlie is in his house. The invitation thing, while having been previously useful for comforting Charlie about his daughter's vampire boyfriend, went with the other inconveniences, so Sherlock comes along without complication. "Hi, Dad! I am okay! Sherlock found someone who could help me. Complicated magical things happened and now all's well."

"Bella," breathes Charlie, and he gets up and hugs her tight.

Awwwww.

From:

cross_and_bow

"Thank you, Sherlock, what are you doing in my house," says Charlie, still hugging Bella.

"Complicated magical things," says Bella helpfully. "He can do that now. He will not be doing anything nefarious."

From:

eversomuchfun

"My already negligible nefarious tendencies have been drastically reduced," he agrees. "Because of the complicated magical things. Also, I can now walk around in sunlight without catching fire, I'm quite looking forward to that part."

From:

cross_and_bow

"Ooh, let's stay up all night and watch the sunrise," says Bella.

"...Bella, you have school -"

"Complicated magical things, Dad, I will appear at school just fine, promise."

"...Right."

"Have you been sufficiently reassured that I am okay, so that I can go do other stuff?" Bella asks. "I need to go warn a person about a thing, and I also need to talk to Giles so that he too can be clear on my being fine. Can you handle my being not legally dead, I'd find it potentially inconvenient to be legally dead."

"...I can do that. Since it doesn't look to me like you're dead."

"Thanks, Dad, I love you," says Bella with a brilliant smile.
