Summary: What was Bobby's life like before he went back home for Evelyn's funeral? For a few days, Bobby decides to bring Jack and Nikki back to a life of bars and organized crime. He introduces them to his former employers; The Donnellys'. Four Brothers/Black Donnellys' crossover.
Disclaimer: Out of all the characters, only own Nikki.
A/N: The Black Donnelly fans flock here. So, I've been watching a ton of Black Donnellys'. I made a reference to it in 'What Becomes of the Broken Hearted', so disregard that whole story when reading this one. It's before anything that happens in the show. I'm pretty sure this will be a short story, because it's an idea I can't get out of my head. I'm only going to be updating if this gets a response, since it just a 'random bullshit, procrastinate from my other stories' kind of thing. So reviews if you like it, please.
Oh, for new readers who don't know anything about The Donnellys' I'm going to be giving a basic summary on what their past is in the next chapter. Well, I'll try to fit as much as I can.

Staring out the window, Nikki's eyebrow rose as Bobby's newly bought, but beat up used car stopped in front of a bar with an Irish glowing green clover sign.
"The Firecracker?" Nikki asked, and Bobby glared back at her. "Welcome to the fuckin' firecracker!"
"Shut up. You're fuckin' lucky that I'm even showing you where I lived before I came back," Bobby mumbled, as he opened the door, Nikki crawling out from the back, and Jack stepping out from the passenger seat.
"What are we gonna do here?" Jack asked, and Bobby shrugged.
"We're taking a vacation for a few days," Bobby smirked.
"Yeah," Nikki said, as Bobby opened the door for the both of them. "A vacation in Hell's Kitchen. It's a fuckin' dream."
"Tommy, I only put a lot of money into it because I thought I was going to win!" Kevin Donnelly defended himself as Tommy Donnelly's ears blew out smoke as he fumed in frustration.
"You always think you're gonna win, Kevin. But do ya?" Tommy retorted, and Kevin stopped to think.
"Not always," Kevin shrugged a little.
"Not ever," Sean Donnelly interrupted, from behind the bar with Jimmy Donnelly.
"Hey, shut the hell up!" Kevin yelled, and Jimmy laughed.
Giving a laugh at the beloved Donnelly brothers he missed oh so much, all four heads turned to look at Bobby and the two unidentified faces he brought with him.
Jimmy yelled out Bobby's name. Kevin stared. Tommy looked contemplative and protective to who, Jack and Nikki, could be. And of course Sean smiled mercilessly at Nikki.
"Bobby!" Jimmy limped over to Bobby, slapping him a man hug, as the three other brothers walked over.
"Hey, Bobby. Where ya been?" Tommy asked, all the brothers giving Bobby their handshakes.
"Yeah, Bobby, we missed ya around here. Bartending and all that shit. You're the only non-family member we let work for the bar," Kevin said, as Sean passed Bobby walking right up to Nikki. "Then you just disappeared from us."
"I'm Sean," He said, and Nikki gave a chuckle, as Jack's eyes narrowed at him.
Seeing the look on Jack's face, Tommy quickly took Sean's arm and pulled him back, as Sean complained.
"I've just been back home since the last time I saw you guys'," Bobby said, keeping it short and sweet. "Came back for a little visit, boys."
"Well come on, have a fuckin' welcome back drink, Bobby," Jimmy said, walking behind the bar, and taking out shot glasses for the three new comers.
"This that little brother you talk about?" Tommy asked, and Bobby looked at Jack.
"Yeah, this is Jack, the fairy of the family. And this is Nikki, the girl of the family," Bobby introduced, as both Jack and Nikki gave a nod as their hello.
"Oh, so you guys are like siblings?" Sean asked Jack, and Jack glared again.
Bobby laughed, "Nope. Nikki's like a sister to three of the brothers. Like a whipping device for the youngest, though."
Turning to Tommy, Kevin mumbled, "Seanie doesn't care if there's a boyfriend or not."
"Quiet, aren't they?" Jimmy asked, pouring the two a drink, as Jack and Nikki simultaneously looked at each other.

"So there's Jimmy, Tommy, you Kevin, and Seanie?" Nikki asked Kevin, sitting across from him, as she rambled on after loosening up after her fourth shot, talking non stop for fifteen minutes already. "Hey, then there's Bobby, Nicky, and Jacky." Nikki stared at Kevin, "We can't rhyme with you, can we?"
"Well, you could say Kevin-y," Kevin said, with a little shrug.
Nikki cocked her head to the right a little, and narrowed her eyes, "Yeah. You're left out. Sucks for you, man." Nikki looked down her empty shot glass, with not even a drop of alcohol left.
"You wanna shot?" Kevin asked, entertained by Nikki.
Nikki nodded, having a shot with Kevin, raising her glass, "To four new brother friends!"
"To Nikki's fifth shot of Vodka!" Kevin yelled, and Nikki laughed, their drinks slamming into each other and sliding down to their fingers.

"You know," Jack yelled, slurring his words to Sean. "If you weren't such a cool kid, I would fucking beat the shit out of you because you were smiling at my Nikki like that." Jack shook his head, "My best friend." Jack pointed, "No, no! My girlfriend."
"To your hot girlfriend!" Sean yelled, pouring the two of them another shot of whiskey, as Jack yelled 'fuck yeah' and drank it up.

"Nice to see ya again, Bobby," Tommy said, drinking a beer with Bobby sitting beside him at the bar.
Taking a swig, Bobby smirked, looking around at the bar full of people, and at Nikki and Jack taking shots. Chuckling at the two of them, Bobby looked back at Tommy, "Yeah, I actually missed it a little."
"Well, we missed you. That's for sure," Tommy said, hitting Bobby on the back. "You know what you gonna do while you're here?"
Bobby thought, and shrugged, "Drink and bartend?"
Tommy laughed, "Sounds fuckin' good."
