Darcy woke up to the sound of his door being unlocked from the outside. He jumped out of bed, shook off his sleep haze. He tore off his shorts and chucked on his riding clothes and shoes before walking to the door and opening it forcefully to see Caroline Bingley with a hairpin in her one hand, a open night gown - if you could call a tiny piece of fabric held together by a piece of string together a night gown, covering her barely there lingerie. This unfortunate event had already occurred twice in the past 3 nights they had been at Bingley's new beach house on Long Island and it was terrifying.

"Oh William, I didn't know this was your room." She said sheepishly. He rolled his eyes at her.

"We've been here for 3 days already Caroline. I would think that a smart girl like you would know where all the rooms in this house were." He said sternly, barely controlled anger bubbling under the surface. He turned to walk down the hall.

"Where are you going?" She cried after him.

"I'm going for a ride, tell Bingley when he wakes up, I'll be a while." He stormed off to the stables where the horses were waiting. He saddled Theo and they were off, racing across the acres that were a part of Bingleys new land. They continued riding until his phone started ringing. Darcy sighed in annoyance, he had thought he had told those new associates specifically not to call him while out.

"William Darcy, Head Lawyer of Darcy and Co. Lawyers." He answered.

"Ahhh… The infamous William Darcy." A feminine voice replied.

"Yes? How can I help you?" A grumpy gruff voice asked.

"I've come across something that belongs to you."

"I don't have time for this, shut up and get on with it." Darcy shouted into the phone.

"Your sister."

"Georgiana?" A voice said clearly surprised.

"Yep."

"What have you done to her? What do you want?"

"Nothing. Chill out, Darcy my friend. I'm just letting you know that I've got her and she's safe. Oh and she's staying with me for the duration of your stay at Long Island."

"What?"

"I know it is a lot to take in but seriously? The best you can come up with is what?" Lizzie said annoyed.

"Who is this anyway? Is this some kind of prank? I'll call the police."

"The name's Elizabeth Bennet and no it is not a prank and no you should not call the police."

"Look here girl. I don't know what you've done to Georgiana or what you want but if you hurt her, there'll be plenty of hell to pay for this. Do you know who I am?"

"Wow you pompous ass. Look mate, just calm down."

"Calm down? Calm down? I'm supposed to be on holiday and my sister is at home and you've called up telling me you have my sister, how am I supposed to act?" Darcy said outraged.

"I don't know, happy that I'm the one that found your sister when she ran away and not some drunk ass 50 year old guy who wants to rape her?"

"How dare you. How dare you insinuate that she would even run away. You are just some old, ugly, impertinent lady who wants my money. Well sorry, but you are not getting it so go away and bloody leave me alone." Lizzie was getting angry now.

"Look mate, I have your sister so do you want to talk to her or not? Because at this rate, I might as well keep her since you sound like you've clearly got everything under control. You're just some rich jackass who won't believe a word anyone who you consider inferior says." She walked out of her room and found Georgiana eating pancakes in the kitchen.

"Does your brother always tell people he's never met before that they are ugly and impertinent?" Georgie gasped.

"He said that?!" Lizzie nodded. She thrust her hand with the phone in it to Georgie.

"Here, talk to him, God knows I don't want to." As she walked away she heard a shy, "Will?"

Lizzie walked back into the kitchen, dressed in her black training gear 10 minutes later as she saw Georgie still talking on the phone.

"Yes Will?"

"No Will, don't you dare. I can't believe you said that. I seriously can't. She's been the first real friend I've had in ages and you just snapped at her."

"No. I don't. I can't believe that you didn't even notice." Georgie sighed. "Will, can we talk about this later please." She whispered, "I really am sorry I ran away."

"Okay, I'll give it back to her. Elizabeth, it's for you." Georgie said.

"Elizabeth?" Darcy said.

"That would be me. Let me just fast forward this conversation a little. I don't like you. You called me an old, ugly impertinent lady and implied that I am a gold digger all of which I am not and the only reason I'm still talking to you right now is because you're Georgie's brother. We will see you on Saturday at the Lucas' party. Either rock up or don't I don't care."

"Well I…. Yes I am going with my friend Charles Bingley and his sister and my cousin but is my sister sure she wants to stay with you?"

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her." Georgie leaned over to whisper something into Lizzie's ear. She laughed. "Oh and Georgie says that she doesn't want to stay with the Bingleys because Caroline scares the crap out of her. She also says good luck, she's got it for you real bad." She heard a groan on the other side of the phone.

"I'll see you Saturday night then." Darcy replied.

"You can count on it. Oh and one last thing."

"Yeah?"

"Don't be too hard on the kid. She knows what she did was wrong and she's quite upset and traumatised already so be careful. I'm sure she'll tell you the full story later. Bye."

"Bye." As Lizzie hung up she looked over at her new friend.

"Does he always sound like he has something shoved up his ass?"

"No, that's only on Saturdays, Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays." Georgiana said solemnly before they burst into laughter.

"Where's everyone else?" She asked Georgie.

"Already at the training centre and I think your mum went shopping though what for I don't know. She seems like a sweet woman, though, only after I told her I knew about the gifts." Lizzie laughed.

"Yeah she's much better in reality. Her disguise is just awful, sorry you had to deal with that alone, but you know, it works. The whole neighbourhood thinks she's obsessed with trying to find us husbands."

"It's alright. I liked having a mother for a bit, mine died when I was really young."

"Oh Georgie…. I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, I've had a long time to grieve." She smiled and they quickly finished their breakfast. Lizzie found Georgie some training clothes and together they went back to the Bennet Boarding House training centre. When they finally got there, they found that Jane was already there, trying to help Mary track down Wickham, while Alec had gone on a manhunt for him around New York.

"Come on, here's where the others train." They went to the 27th floor and found Mr. Bennet talking to some of the kids about Georgiana's age. "Hey guys."

"Hey Lizzie." They all grinned back. "I've got a new friend. She's new here and doesn't know how to use her powers well just yet so I'm training her. Are you starting training now?" Mr. Bennet nodded. "Right this is what we are here for. Guys this is Georgiana Darcy. She's a healer." Lizzie turned to Georgie to explain, "On weekends we hold extra training classes and some other proper classes because we don't get to do as much during the week due to the training schedule. Generally, only the boarding house kids rock up on Saturdays but we still try and cater for everyone." She turned back to the class. "So what we are going to do today is set you all up for hand-to-hand combat matches today in the ring and when the whistle is called, Georgie's going to heal any of the injured, so don't be afraid to hit hard today. After lunch, you're going to have to do some real study, today you've got Chemistry, Biology, and English." The class groaned. "No one is allowed to go out for lunch today due to a breach on school grounds." She heard a rippling of murmurs go through the crowd. "Do not worry, we have taken extra precautions around the school, this does also mean that school will finish slightly earlier today. You're all either cooking lunch or getting Fria to cook it for you. Any questions?" They all nodded.

"Is she like Irena?"

"Yep. Georgie, Irena over there is the only other healer we've got here besides me, but I can only heal myself and not others. Fria is the girl sitting next to Irena and has a way with food, we don't know if it is an actual talent but man does she make a mean lasagne." She told Georgie to go join the other kids in the class, and although hesitant Georgie went and soon enough she, Irena and Fria were talking non-stop about their abilities, Lizzie smiled at the three of them, glad Georgie was gradually being brought out of her shell. Lizzie walked up to her father.

"Did you find anything last night?" She asked him.

"No but Mary was close to cracking something until what she was looking at completely disappeared, no trace whatsoever of it on the web." Lizzie frowned.

"Weird."

"Can you take this class today? I've got the upper years to deal with, Charlotte had got the middle schoolers and the younger years are getting dealt with by Jane this afternoon, you and Georgie can go help her if you like."

"Alright but I must remind you, mama expects us all to turn up at the Lucas' party."

"I know, we'll call it quits early. Luke and Sammy are going out today for their day off but are coming back to take care of the boarding kids as per usual tonight."

"Good, I'll see you at lunch?"

"Yes, Lizzie you have extra training to do at lunch. Today, he's after us and we need you all to be prepared." Lizzie nodded and wolf whistled.

"Settle down class. You'll be paired based on relative strengths and weaknesses today so let's make our way down to the ring." Together the class rode the elevator up to the 32nd floor." She beckoned Georgie to come over, near her. "Right, let's get started I want 4 matches on at the same time." She got her intercom on. "Mary, can you set up four different spaces and get the kids into the simulators. Georgie come here and watch." Together they watched the first four matches as the kids continued to fight each other and hit each other hard. "Now in these fights they are not allowed to use their powers, only their human abilities though it does cause a bit of a problem with the kids who have enhances human abilities but we normally pair them up so they get a fair fight anyway." The first lot had finished fighting and it was time to see what the injuries were as the second round of fighting got underway.

"Georgie, we'll start with the smaller ones first, then we'll go down to the infirmary to see who's really injured." Georgie nodded nervously. "Don't be nervous, you'll do fine, trust me. Now here we are, first things first, small scrapes and bruises. Reach out and cover a part of them that is injured and remember what I told you yesterday. Breathe in and out and channel the energy and relax, you can't do it if you don't relax." Georgiana relaxed and began to take deep breaths and focused on her energy. "Good Georgie, you've done it. Now let's move onto the next one." They soon methodically worked their way around to all that had small injuries. "Now let's go down to the infirmary."

"This is amazing." Georgie breathed as she finished healing another one of her new classmates.

"I know, you're amazing." Lizzie smiled.

"Thanks for helping so much Lizzie." Georgiana said in return. "Honestly, it's been the best day ever." Georgiana said seriously. "I just feel like I belong here."

"You're welcome, I know exactly what you mean. We've all felt like you have Georgie so go out there and show everyone here what you've got, make friends and don't be afraid. Also we're doing a quick shopping trip later today because you need a dress for tonight." Georgiana beamed with happiness. "Here's the infirmary, Irena works here basically everyday though she gets her training and studying done too. For the sick we usually administer normal, human treatments so that we don't wear her out, we'll probably continue to do so unless we have about 10 healers all at once."

"Hey! You're back! To help me I suppose?" Irena asked, smiling.

"Yep. Georgie here is going to help you, I'm training her so can we have an easier one?"

"Sure thing, there's a guy down the end on the left with a few broken bones, start with those." They made their way over to the young man who was lying down, his eyes scrunched up in pain.

"Remember what to do Georgie?"

"Yep." Georgiana had learned quickly and healed the boy in no time at all. Lizzie beamed.

"Told you you're amazing." Georgiana smiled. They quickly worked their way through the infirmary, each case getting harder and harder to heal, yet Georgiana still managed to heal them. "Georgie, it's time for lunch, I think you need it because to be frank, you look exhausted and we need to save up some energy before we go to the party tonight."

"Yes mum." Lizzie stuck out her tongue at Georgie and she laughed. "Irena?"

"Yes?"

"Wanna show Georgie how lunch works?"

"Yeah, of course." Together the two girls walked out of the room smiling and chatting happily away. Lizzie walked to another elevator and dropped down to the basement floors, also known as subzero. She walked over to Jane and Charlotte who was sitting down having their lunch.

"How did Georgie go today?"

"Amazing, she's a fast learner and she'll manage just fine. Soon enough it'll be hand to hand combat and then working on her invisibility."

"That's great. How were the youngesters?"

"Alright, tiresome as usual."

"Did you find anything on Wickham?"

"Not a clue. Not a clue at all."

"Damn. I've got to go train now Janey, Char, but I'll see you at home, Georgie and I are just going to stop off quickly at the mall later for a dress for Saturday."

"Bye Lizzie, love you."

"Love you too Jane."

Lizzie spent the week helping Georgiana with her gifts and training her in hand-to-hand combat. By the end of the week, Georgie was getting better and better with the fight training and had mastered how to use her healing skills nearly perfectly. She was still a bit shaky with her invisibility and her fighting abilities need a bit of work but she and Lizzie were slowly managing it. Finally Saturday rolled around and Jane, Charlotte, Georgie and Lizzie were at the girls' apartment in the city, getting ready for the party. When Lizzie's phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Lizzie, be careful tonight. Although Georgie doesn't know I think her brother and cousin and possibly his friend as well might have gifts." Mr Bennet said quietly through the phone.

"What makes you say that?" Lizzie asked casually as she walked out of her room and into the kitchen.

"Jane and I have been searching and she shared Georgie's memories with me and it looks like he does have gifts. The others too."

"We'll be careful. What happens if they do?"

"Then we'll test them in the training room. Jane will use her gift and bring them to the underground training rooms beneath the manor, they seem to know something about Wickham but what I don't know. We have to make sure that they're good. Jane will know though, she can see and when they shake hands, it'll be clear."

"Yes Dad but still to the underground?"

"Yes we'll have no choice. We'll get them to call on us and then take them down there secretly."

"Alright, I'll make Georgie, Jane and Char aware of the plan."

"See you tonight."

"Bye Dad, love you."

"Love you too Lizzie."

"Girls that was dad. We've got a plan." She relayed as she walked back into her bedroom where the 3 other girls were busy trying on multiple outfits.

"A plan?" They asked her.

"Yeah. We've got to figure out their motives, Jane that's you, find the honesty and the memories. Then we've got to take them to the underground and Georgie, I hope you don't mind this but we've got to knock them out just to make sure that they don't know how to get there, is that alright with you? You can see of course, we just have to be careful of them."

"Alright, as long as they don't get hurt." Lizzie smiled down at her young friend.

"They won't get hurt, I promise Georgie. It's just that we don't know them as well as you do and we have to be careful." She nodded.

"Okay, I'm in." She said firmly.

They arrived at Charlotte's parent's house and walked through the front door to see that the party was already in full swing. They walked over to Mr. Bennet and the rest of their family.

"Girls, I want Lizzie, Jane and Georgie to stay here with me. Char, Mary, Lydia and Kitty will go scout out the rest of the party." They all nodded. Then all eyes turned towards the front door as Lizzie saw three men and a woman step through the doorway.

"Who's who Georgie?" She whispered quietly.

"The red head in the middle is Charles Bingley, my brother's best friend, the woman that looks like everything is beneath her is his sister Caroline, the shorter, brown haired male with the green eyes is my cousin Richard Fitzwilliam and the taller one is my brother, William Darcy." She replied. Mr. Bennet was concentrating hard.

"Girls, they definitely have gifts." He said to them, his brow furrowed.

"He knows for sure?" Georgie asked Lizzie.

"Yes, I believe so. Dad what gifts are they?"

"Mr. Bingley has telekinesis, Mr. Fitzwilliam, superhuman speed, Ms. Bingley has the ability to animate and lengthen her hair and your brother has flight, speed and energy blasts Georgie." Mr Bennet replied.

"How come he never told me?" Georgie looked down, hurt that her brother hadn't confided in her. Lizzie turned to her new friend and gave her a hug.

"Georgie it's alright from what you've told me, he sounds like he'd have a good reason for not telling you. Maybe he was scared just like you were and didn't want to ruin your normal life. I don't think it would have even crossed his mind that you could have gifts too." Georgie took a deep breath and sighed.

"Okay, thanks Lizzie." The four newcomers made their way over to the girls and Mr. Bennet.

"Georgie!" Darcy walked quickly ahead of the group and pulled her into a hug, the tense bunching of his shoulders clearly dissipating.

"William, Richard!" She squealed and hugged them back. Georgie had missed them so much. Lizzie watched the siblings in amusement. She turned to look at Charlie who was staring intently at Jane while she was blushing and looking at the floor. They would make a good couple Lizzie thought.

"Hi, I'm Elizabeth Bennet. This is my sister Jane and my father, Josh Bennet." She held out her hand for them to shake, as did Jane and Mr. Bennet.

"I'm Charles Bingley, this is my sister Caroline, and my good friends Will Darcy and Rich Fitzwilliam." They all shook hands, Caroline did in disgust but the rest were good strong handshakes. Jane's eyes were widening with each one as she took in the new information. She turned to stare at Lizzie and she could hear Jane in her head.

Lizzie I found their memories.

Did you give them to Dad?

Yes. They are all honest people but do not know what we do. Dad was right about the powers.

He always is. Shall we invite them tomorrow?

Of course. But we have to be careful, do not raise suspicion until we have them in our grasp tomorrow.

Of course Jane, back to the real world now? Lizzie turned to look at the newcomers.

"Thank you for looking after Georgie for me for this week. We've been busy, helping Bingley here settle down." Richard said cheerfully.

"Oh, so you are the one who bought Netherfield." Lizzie said turning to Bingley.

"Yep. That's me. Jane would you like to dance." Jane blushed and nodded. Bingley took her hand and led her over to the dance floor.

"Alright... he certainly doesn't waste any time. I'll leave you four at it, but I want to know, Georgie will you be coming home with me tonight or with your family?"

"I… I want to stay with you tonight Lizzie, but Will can you please visit us tomorrow?"

"Are you sure you don't want to come stay with us?" Will asked, hurt.

"I'm sure, please, William, I'll explain everything tomorrow."

"Okay, I trust you Georgie, if that's alright with you Elizabeth, Mr. Bennet?"

"It's Lizzie, and yeah, sure." Her father nodded in agreement.

Lizzie and her father walked away, eager to enjoy the night. Lizzie soon found Charlotte and was dancing on the dance floor before signaling to Char that she was going to go get a drink. As she walked back she heard two familiar voices talking about her sister. Lizzie hid stayed close, behind a pole and listened to both of them speak.

"Come on Darcy, lighten up, have some fun, you have to dance with somebody!"

"I will not Bingley, just because you and Rich can enjoy yourselves doesn't mean that I will."

"Darce, there's so many pretty girls here, I never did see so many all in one room."

"Your Jane is a beauty I will admit but that is all."

"Isn't she just? She's an angel but her sister Lizzie, is quite cute too."

"Elizabeth?" Darcy scoffed. "She's just ordinary and certainly not pretty enough to tempt me, besides she practically kidnapped my sister!" Elizabeth huffed and walked away in a storm of anger as she caught the surprised expression on Charles' face and the impassive one of Darcy.

As they drove home, Lizzie related her story to Jane telepathically while Georgie slept in the backseat.

Jane! It was awful. He's just an arrogant, pompous British ass.

Surely it wasn't that bad Lizzie. Maybe there was a misunderstanding.

I assure you it damn wasn't. You know my thoughts, see what he did?

Lizzie, calm down I am sure there is an explanation.

Only you Jane, only you can see the good in everybody.

It's a gift. They both laughed silently.

Are you ready for tomorrow?

Yes. I've got everything set.

Is Alec coming back to help out?

Yes, it will be an intense day so go straight to bed okay?

Yes mum. They both smiled at each other and got home, all 3 girls sleeping soundly until the sunrise of the next day.
