Author's Note: I had this story floating around in my head. I don't know why but it seems like fun. So this is a story where Nikola Tesla finds his own kind and the days that follow. Enjoy!

(&)(&)(&)

He was half-vampire; had been since 18 when he ingested pure vampire blood. The Five had formed and had been successful in their endeavors. After a few years they had disbanded, each going their separate ways.

He had always wanted to resurrect his race but he had had an unfortunate accident that stripped his vampirism from him. In spite of everything that had happened, he had managed to come up with a way to create his own vampires. The only problem was that his creations were mindless. So he had asked his old friend to help. She had refused and he tried to kill her. After she had been saved and he nearly killed, he regenerated and went on his merry way.

A few months later, he had to reunite with his old friends to save the world. One of his friends was dead so he had to make nice with his granddaughter. He had to get a key and to do that he had to get electrocuted. They were successful and they went back to their own lives. And that meant he resumed his endeavor f making his race supreme again.

But that didn't come without a price to pay. He had created a treatment to help drug-hazed kids overcome their addiction in one week. The catch; they were injected with vampire blood that would mature in thirty years. That back fired and brought on a slew of hell. In the end he lost his vampirism but gained magnetism. He still loved being a vampire and he wanted to get back on top of things.

So he went to Peru. And got caught by multipedes because they wanted his blood. He was saved by his friend and her colleagues only to be yelled at because of what he wanted initially. To save them, he got caught in a blast that the techno geek had rigged. He survived only because he covered himself with metal.

After that entire incident he traveled all over Canada. On his travels, he found two very interesting people. One was a boy and the other a girl. They were both blond headed and golden eyed. The boy was almost as tall as him and the girl just a little shorter. The most interesting part was they were both vampires. There was no doubt they were older than him and they proved to be very useful. They gave him insight on the reason they were alive and how they had survived.

After a few weeks, he needed to get back to Sanctuary. He had explained that he had come to live with humans and many more abnormals so he could help them. They were skeptical at first, being the last surviving pure bloods, and had talked privately for a little bit, but they had followed at his insistence. They arrived at Sanctuary two days after they left.

Henry Foss opened the door. As the resident werewolf and computer tech, he was completely shocked when he noticed two people had come with Nikola. Dr. Helen Magnus was equally shocked when she found out they were vampires. She watched the two as they looked around the place, their curiosity getting the better of them. They all ventured to lower levels of the mansion.

"They're exquisite, Nikola." Magnus asked as she watched the two vampires move about the room. She looked to her friend. "Where did you find them?"

"They were in the Arctic Circle and I met them there when I went to clear my head." Nikola replied, his eyes never leaving the two.

Will Zimmerman snorted. He was the resident psychiatrist. "You went to the Arctic? You hate the cold."

Nikola glanced his way humorlessly before looking back at his newfound companions. They suddenly disappeared, blurring too fast for the naked eye. "They have been living there since the fall of our people."

Magnus was in shock. "That was almost four hundred years ago."

"And they are older than that. Romen is at least twelve hundred and Aryn is almost a thousand."

"How did you happen upon them?" Kate Freelander asked. She looked as if she was not at all impressed.

"They found me." Aryn reappeared in front of him and just barely moved as he companion came in for a swift kick, catching Nikola in the eye. "Watch it!"

She glanced over her shoulder as she settled in a crouch, blond hair settling around her face. "Sorry." She was thrown into the wall. "Hey!"

"After all this time, you still get sidetracked by a man." Romen taunted.

"Oh, shut up."

Romen laughed as they began to wrestle. Nikola watched as they moved with such blurring speed that they were just colors. Romen stopped in the center of the room and looked around. A bolt of green electricity caught him right in his back and threw him face first into the floor. Aryn reappeared, feet hitting the floor soundlessly and hands glowing with the green sparks that were jumping off her friend.

"That's cheating!" Romen announced as he stood up and shook himself. "We never use our powers inside."

Aryn crossed her arms. "Just because I can teleport on the fly doesn't mean a thing."

"I was talking about the lightning. We never do that inside."

She pursed her lips as her eyebrows shot up. "We've never been inside this long before and personally I like it. I'm going to go look around." She disappeared where she stood.

"Aryn, don't! Aryn!" Romen disappeared as well.

"And that is how they act on a regular basis." Nikola turned on his heel to look at the people behind him. "They fought the entire time with me. Aryn likes cities and the people in them. Romen obliges her because he doesn't to reintegrate with the world."

"Do you know why she's for it? Seems to me that they would want to stay away from humans like most abnormals do." Will stated.

"My dear William, the heart and soul of a woman is an inner lock box. You never know what part you're going to get." Will looked at him as if he didn't understand what was being said. "You will never know the inner workings of a woman, alive or undead."

"Can Romen talk to her?" Kate asked.

"They've been together for over 400 years. I'm pretty sure he can." There was a crash upstairs. "I'm almost sure he can."

"OH, bloody hell." Magnus groaned as she headed to the elevator. Kate and Will joined her as Nikola took the stairs. They all converged on the foyer as Henry sat in the middle of the floor rubbing his head. Romen stood over him bearing his fangs, eyes black. Aryn rushed him and knocked him back. "What the hell is going on?"

"This werewolf attacked me." Romen hissed.

"Oh, that's a load of bull." Aryn spat. She helped Henry to his feet. "Henry ran into him on accident and dumbass here took it to heart. If you don't get your head on straight, you're going to get kicked out of here."

"Why do you want to stay so badly?"

"Why don't you want to stay?"

"We don't belong here." He stopped and caught his breath. "Aryn, we've been together for 400 years and now you want to change that?"

Aryn looked confused. "What the hell are you talking about?"

"Protecting a werewolf. You hate them."

"No, I hate polar bears. They're mean and they taste bad. I've never been near a werewolf. I've never been near humans. You whisked me away before I could do anything."

Nikola raised his hand but didn't even let them call on him. "You took her from England before she even got to mingle with humans. Why?"

"Because she was born a vampire while I was changed."

Aryn was taken aback, so much so that her fangs retracted and her eyes changed back to gold. "I was born…."

"You are the only pure blood alive. Your family asked me to watch out for you until you grew of age. By that time the entire race was eradicated." Romen's face returned to normal. Aryn was confused by the look on her face. "I took you away to save you."

"And yet you didn't tell me any of this in 400 years? You always said you were honest with me."

"I couldn't. I knew you'd go looking for them."

"Them?"

"The people who killed you parents. They were humans and I could tell years ago that you wanted to know what they were like. I had to keep you from getting killed. It's not safe."

"It's not safe from other creatures either. How many have you killed to keep this awful secret?" Romen didn't answer and that was enough to steer Aryn away. "Leave, Romen."

It was Romen's turn to look confused. "What?" He looked her in the eye. "You don't mean that."

"I don't know if I can trust you anymore. You told me something completely different than the truth. You're the only one I've known all my life and I have trusted you but now I know you've lied to me all my life." She shook her head slowly, her eyes never leaving his. "I need you to get away from me for a while."

Instead of bowing out gracefully like a man of his time would, Romen's face contorted once again and he attacked Nikola, pinning the other man to the floor. He held his neck as Nikola tried pitifully to get away. "This is your fault. I had her convinced to stay in the Arctic until you came along. It would have been just the two of us if you had never showed up." He was electrocuted but the electricity never went past his hands.

"Get out." Aryn announced one last time.

Romen hauled his burnt body up and ventured to the door. He looked back at Aryn. "You will regret this, Aryn. I promise you that."

"She said get out." Magnus slammed the door when he was out it. She rubbed her hands together as she turned around. "This could pose a problem. How bad is Romen?"

"He kept me hidden for 400 years. I'm pretty sure he can do some damage." Aryn bit her lip. "I hate to ask this but I've got no money and no clothes. I'm going to need a place to stay."

Magnus smiled. "Say no more. Henry, get a room fixed up for our new guest while I take her shopping."

"All right." Henry smiled as he headed towards the grand staircase.

Nikola caught Magnus as she went to grab her coat. "Do you mind if I tag along?"

"Are you going to act your age?" Magnus asked as she buttoned her coat, reached in, and extracted another coat.

"I'll be a perfect gentleman."

"Fine." Together they walked over to Aryn who was watching them intently, head cocked to the side. Magnus handed her the extra coat. She looked at it before looking up. "It's chilly outside."

"I don't feel the changes in weather." Aryn replied.

"At least put it on so you can blend in. If you don't, people will look at you weirdly." Nikola said.

"Nikola!" Magnus scolded.

Aryn smiled, something familiar catching in her eyes, and she took the coat happily. After she slid it on, she turned around. "I've never had anything like this before."

"It's a coat." Magnus looked at her approvingly. "Keep it."

"What? No, I couldn't."

"I have plenty more. Take it."

"Thank you."

"Let's go, shall we?" She led the way out the door.
