Author's Note: So this is my first fanfic, so cut me a little bit of slack. In order to preserve original character integrity, most of the Gallagher chracters are OCs but latent offspring of the originals. I do want reviews and criticism where I can get it, and suggestions in review form are great :D Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you enjoy
When Worlds Collide
Prologue
Gallagher
The age had come and gone at Gallagher when Cammie, Bex, Liz and Macey roamed the halls. The cavan circle had ultimately fallen to the Morgan legacy, with the help of Joe Solomon of course. The battle had taken the quartet into their adult years. Ultimately their twins at Blackthorne got their hands in the mix and gladly helped the girls who they had been met one day at the National Mall.
Gone were the fear and lockdown drills that echoed the halls and soon generations of girls passed that hadn't been there and seen it all, girls who told the story almost as a legend a myth, a great Gallagher treasure. The Gallagher girls of the past grew up and most remaining spies settled down to their partners and cover stories. Jonas and Liz settled down to spy desk jobs, using their intelligence and research skills to help their friends. Their wedding was beautiful and as the first of the four couples to act, one reaction led to more and soon Zach and Cammie, Bex and Grant, and even Macey settled down for their loving families.
The loving family the eight had created expanded when each couple had a kid at least a year with each other. Macey and her husband took their child with them everywhere, so that he would grow up never feeling alone. Zeus, they named him. He grew in his parents wild missions, tempering an unruly attitude with street smarts. He lived up the name Zeus, flaxen hair tall and strong. Blackthorn, when he came of age, welcomed him with open arms.
Soon after Jonas and Liz welcomed a baby boy into their home, taking turns the parents switched off from their jobs in order to stay home with Mark. With parents such as Jonas and Liz, he grew up uncontrolled and mischievous, learning how to entertain himself when his parents were busy on their computers. There came incidents where the salt and the sugar got mixed up, and one particularly enjoyable experience where he managed to get ahold of the flamethrower and a massive water balloon. Mark drove Liz and Jonas insane sometimes, but there was no question that he doted on his mother and somehow always, always managed to get himself out of sticky situations. After a few close calls, Blackthorne decided they should get him accepted before he could do any more damage to their grounds trying to get in.
Right around the same time as Jonas and Liz, Bex and Grant created a baby girl. Avid about missions, but unwilling to put their daughter in danger, she frequently spent months visiting Mark and running around trying to knock some sense into him. As a result she grew into the only person she knew how to given her heritage and best friend, loud-mouthed and straight to the point Ashley never hesitated to tell Mark that his idea was dumb, or if she wanted to correct how something could be done. True to her mother, she caught on to the British accent except unlike the gentle lilt of Bex's hers had a harsh-ness to it. She lived stuck between her home in England (Bex and Grant had decided to settle there) and suburban United States with Mark. Even Gallagher Academy couldn't refuse the daughter of their own foreign exception. Ashley had found a new and stable home while her parents beamed pride.
Cammie and Zach were the last to be married, but the first to have a child. Unlike her friends who were determined not to alter their life too much after having a child, Cammie was determined not to put her daughter in a position where her parents could be lost. After much debate, Zach continued doing missions and when Cammie's mom retired as head of Gallagher Academy Cammie was more than happy to take up the role allowing her to remain in the spy world she loved while being there for her daughter. Marie grew up with her father's sense of humor and her mother's aptitude for hiding in plain sight. She was good at being noticed when she walked into a room and finding the most… interesting uses for inanimate objects. As a child, she could stop Mark's pranks with a pen cap and a shoelace, and as she got older Zach was more than happy to train her in weapons. Yet she was kind and clever and knew the difference between necessity and excess. As her mother's daughter she couldn't wait to begin attending Gallagher (because there was no question that she would), she listened to all the family stories and could retell them by heart. She knew who and what she wanted to be and goodness knows couldn't stop her.
So the time came when Marie and Zeus were seniors at their respective schools, their best friends Ashley and Mark just a year below them. The Legacy Quartet of the known, the best and brightest of their age as their parents had been before them.
Cammie was happy with the peace the kids had experienced moving through Gallagher. She sat in her office and smiled remembering escapades and secret tunnels, until a quiet but screeching alarm came from her computer. Three blinking lights flashed on her computer, warning of disaster to come.
Storybrooke
After Tamara and Greg launched what became known as the war across dimensions, the town flew into a frenzied pace. Friend and foe alike were fighting for their right to magic and the right to live in the town most called home. Determined to wipe Storybrooke off the face of the planet they permeated the soil with noxious chemicals and metals in an attempt to block the source, and so the battle begun.
Regina teamed up with Snow and Charming to protect the town, pooling their resources and skills. Emma took a bit longer to come around, given her constant struggles of balancing Neal and Henry. Eventually the town, as a family, stood together against Tamara and Greg and won the war.
However in the course of saving the town too much damage had been taken and Tamara and Greg had done too much in their war against magic to prevent the loss of it in Storybrooke. With each door closed a new one opened much to the fortune of Storybrooke members. In the process of battle, a permanent stable portal had been opened between the Enchanted Forest and Storybrooke. Members could come and go with ease while normal citizens of Storybrooke remained unawares.
Over time, the town grew prosperous attracting more and more outsiders to their originally small town. Some residents chose to go home, while others stayed. Snow, Charming, and Gold set up homes for themselves in Storybrooke, but moved fairly regularly between the two worlds. Regina set up residence as continual mayor of Storybrooke, and the citizens grew to love their changed leader.
For Emma, Neal, and Henry though, the choice on where to go and what to be seemed pretty simple after all that had happened. Emma and Neal married and together the three moved to Tallahassee, Florida. At least once a month they made trips back to Storybrooke of course for Henry to see Regina, and his granparents.
And so the time came when seven years after Henry tracked down Emma, and five years after the end of the time war Henry turned seventeen.
