It's hero time - Lion

She had help from Rebekah and Veronica. The only feeling she missed was the warmth. She felt cold. So cold. Vanya got back. Funny enough she had wished for this moment for quite sometime, and all she felt was the emptiness biting its way under her skin. Veronica had found her some outfit to wear, why she wasn't sure. It took her a while after she got back to actually realize where he was. The memories ripped from her mind and starting getting replaced with new ones. He had left her with that warm feeling, and she wanted to keep the flame alive. But without him being there - she felt lost.
Vanya wrote down on her arm what the plan was. She knew no matter what he was still one of her closest friends. Her new temper and refreshed anger made it easier for her to knock a few guards out. Supernatural creatures were held almost like rats in cages in the lower level of the prison. One was about to call her in, when she emotionally overwhelmed him so he fainted in panic. Vanya felt more and more careless. The flame was about to go out, when she went to his celle. It lighted up, but it wasn't going to last.
"I thought a prince would have a much nicer place to stay at," she gave him a little half smirk. He had been locked up for years, he had no idea it was the time in 2019 that had changed her and not her time away. "You are expected somewhere else your highness," she added and locked the door up. A part of her wanted to hush to him, and the other tried not to care. Vanya bit her lower lip shortly as she watched him. She felt the emotions of the guards as they arrived. She sensed a few others would most likely to join in later.
"Hope you haven't forgotten how to fight," she looked back at him shortly before using her speed to go fight some of the policemen. Vanya wasn't scared of hurting them, that was what normally stopped her. But he hadn't been there to stop her, and the empty cold feeling returned to her like it was all that haunted her mind. The crack echoed through the wall as she had snapped the last persons neck. Four dead. "Or it didn't matter. Come on," she hissed at him. She stopped for a second when guilt hit her and it was a clear look in her eyes. But her head was fighting on its peak for keeping herself sane. As she ran towards the door Theo surprised them.
"Seriously, you thought you could do this without me?" He looked at her and after at Lion. "I'm just happy you are okay," he added before pressing his lips against her lips. First she narrowed her eyes in confusing - but then the memories hit her. They had spend lot of time together before after Lion was taken in. Been trying to figure out how to make his name clean, one thing had let to the other. Still her lips felt cold, it didn't bring out any emotion in her.
"sorry," she stepped back and looked at Lion like she just had betrayed him.

Outfit

Lion had spent a year in jail. He didn’t feel like what he did was wrong, but he did kill someone, and the police generally didn’t like that. Fuck the fact that he was underage. He was sitting in his cell staring at the wall. There wasn’t much else to do around here. He was just happy he hadn’t gotten a beating today. He was still bruised from the last few of them. He was confused when she heard Vanya’s voice. ”What the hell?” He didn’t even respond to her question. He was just confused. She was one of his best friends, but breaking him out of jail seemed a little excessive especially for her. If it had been Mena or Lissie, he wouldn’t have been as surprised. ”Okay,” he said and followed her.
Lion looked confused at her when she asked if he had forgotten how to fight. He was even more confused when she just killed four people. What happened to her in the time he had been locked up? He followed her further down and felt a little less confused when Theo showed up. That made sense. Vanya didn’t. Then the confusion returned when he kissed her. ”When did that happen?” He went to Theo and put a hand on his shoulder. ”You could’ve asked first. She is my best friend, after all,” he said and rose and eyebrow at Vanya’s apology. ”Don’t be. I think it’s great. Just don’t go hurting each other, okay?” He took in a sharp breath. His rib still hurt quite a bit, but he had survived worse. ”Unless you two are planning on borrowing a bed, we should maybe get out of here.” He nodded towards the door that would lead them to an exit.

In her time in 2019, she had still killed. Still felt what had happened even through some of the awful things turned away from her.  Leaving her to fight her own memories. She had to hurry. Theo looked confused at Vanya, she seemed like something was bothering her - but he could't put his finger on it. He looked at Lion.
"We'll tell everything when we get out," he said before showing them his lille entrance. He grabbed both their hands and walked through the wall with them. He had first learned to controle his ability now with people - so he was proud. "I told you I could do it," he looked at Vanya but she seemed distant.
"Vanya?" He asked carefully and took her hand softly. Vanya gasped and looked at him. Trying not to confuse herself with these new memories with Theo. She looked at her hand inside the palm where the words, find the warmth which made her sight. She took her other hand out of Theos.
"I'm fine. Let's get out of here before someone sees you," she kept her gaze at Lion and narrowed her eyes.
"I'm gonna go get us a car," he said and swallowed this feeling he got from Vanya. Something was up with her it was clear, and she felt her heart breaking for more reasons than she could count. He had seen her heart broken before, but not like this. Not this slowly falling apart. Clearly she tried to be strong, but she was bottled up with everything. Most at all the stress and being frustrated about not remembering and still remebered pieces.
"Sorry.. I just feel.. so cold.. so cold," she turned away from facing him, running her hands over her head. "So empty.. I'm cold in my bones.. why.. why am I like this? I don't want to feel like this."

Lion tried not to overthink what was going on with Vanya, something was clearly different about her. Killing was too easy for her. He nodded when Theo said they would explain later. He just went through the wall. Theo had clearly practiced. ”Good on you,” he said and gave Theo an encouraging slap on the back. He watched the scene where Vanya pulled away from Theo, which clearly confused him. He went to get a car while he stayed back with Vanya.

He watched her as she turned away from him. Something was bothering her, something more than feeling cold. He didn’t know what to say when she explained how she really felt. He had felt that way for the last year. He had needed someone to take care of him, but nobody had. He never ever wanted someone to feel like that, not alone at least. He went to her and put his arms around her, just holding her close against his chest. It felt so naturally to be around her like this. ”You will never have to go through anything alone,” he whispered into her hair. He shouldn’t feel so comfortable embracing her like this, especially not when she was dating his best friend. But he did, and he felt so incredibly guilty about it. But having her feeling like she had described was worse for him. He wanted her to feel happy and warm all the time. ”It’s okay now,” he said.

It was overwhelming, normally she got overwhelmed by others emotions not her own. Everything was poking her, like sharp swords from each direction. She almost didn't realized he stepped closer to her, till he put his arms around her and held her close. Vanya closed her eyes as the warmth hit her. It made her heart skip a beat, and she remembered again. But like before the memories wouldn't last forever unless she made a change. She just felt safe. Her breathing seemed more stable as she was just standing there.
"You don't understand.. its not supposed to be like this," she whispered and closed her eyes heart. "but I'm gonna fix it okay.. I promise. I'm going to fix all of this," she added.
She forgot everything about what this alternative had given her, and kissed him shortly. But then it hit her. But she would fix this. She opened her eyes as their lips parted.
"I'm sorry.. You should go with him. I have a mission to complete," she realized with all this going on. This big changes, she would have to befind earlier - before he got arrested. Vanya swallowed shortly as she looked at him. "Don't worry. I'm going to fix this," she promised, stepping out of his arms - even through she wanted to stay longer - but he felt guilty about it because of Theo. Had this been what she knew - she wouldn't have done it. IT wasn't her reality.

She used her speed to run off, back to Rebekah who remembered her deal from years back. And Vanya went off again, to the night the man went into Bex house. The fight was going on.
"Stop!" she yelled in frustration. She was getting real tired of this time travelling shit. She ran over and grabbed Lions hand before the knife hit the taget.
"This isn't who you are," she looked him in the eyes, and elbowed the man behind her hard so he fell to the ground. Vanya breathed out and took the knife from his hand. "Its okay," she swallowed her emotions for him. Knowing they weren't there quite yet in this time. Stille she felt it and it made her heart race. Vanya made a choice just to wrap her arms around him and hold herself close to him. Not using her ability to effect him.

He didn’t understand any of this. Least of all what she was talking about. Fix it? Fix what? He was out now, they were going to be fine. He was so confused about everything. He looked at her as she moved closer before letting their lips meet. He just stood there, completely baffled by how tonight had turned out. He hadn’t expected it at all. He shook his head to get back to reality. ”Okay,” he just said, still not sure what it was she was going to fix. She ran away leaving him to deal with this mess alone. What was he supposed to tell Theo? He rubbed his neck before going to find his cousin.

Lion stood across from the intruder. He had broken into his aunts house, he had threatened to kill her and Elliott. Lion had told her to stay in the kitchen while he took care of the man in the living room. He was holding a knife, ready to take of this lowlife who dared threatening his family. He looked away when Vanya came running. How did she find him? He was just about to ride the knife through him when she grabbed his hand. He watched her closely as she tried to stop him from doing this. He blinked a few times, before he more or less handed her the knife. He put her arms around her as well and held her close. ”Thank you for stopping me,” he said and found comfort in her embrace. He had a lot of questions, but those could wait. He turned his head away from Vanya. ”It’s okay to come out Bex,” he said loud enough for her to hear. He was just happy she was safe now. ”Let’s go sit down,” he suggested and let go of Vanya to go sit down on the couch.

The thing about being in this time, it was risky. Vanya had always known she had some sort of feeling towards Lion, so it would make to much of a change to her future. Because if she just hit herself hard enough in the head, she could give that an excuse for not remembering this night. Easy. She was so different right now then she actually was at this time, so much had changed.
"Always," she replied with a half smirk. "You would do the same for me," which was true. She sat down for a little while with them, making sure when the police arrived that they knew what had happened. Vanya was still a Mikaelson, and they believed her words without her having to make them. Vanya had given Lion a kiss on the cheek on the way out, calling it a comfort in this situation. After that she had made an excuse as Malia needed her help with something. And she had run off again. She had done as planned, hammering herself in the head, when the other version of her was out on her night walk right outside the castle. Not knowing it was herself made it a surprise that knocked her out. Lion would most likely feel guilty not having followed her home, but that was right now not important.
Vanya got back to Rebekah and she got her to throw her back in 2019, with a warning of them having to return back to their time line soon.
