"Okay, who the hell is he, how do you know him, and what is a derp!?" Katarina demands to Allison while a similar situation was going on in Talon's head.

"Who is she, and how do you know her?" Talon bluntly questions.

Before either Allison or Darryl can respond they are interrupted by the thief who is now curled up in the fetal position whimpering pathetically.

"Yeah I should probably take care of that, don't want Talon's reputation of killing recruiters and dumping their bodies in the gutter to go stale now do I?" Darryl says eyeballing the pathetic thief they sent after Talon.

"Well I suppose I should tell you this now. But I come from a different universe, where this universe is a part of a game called, "League of Legends" and you two are champions of the League." Allison started. "Katarina and Talon represent Noxus, and are both categorized as Assassins."

"So you are telling me that we are supposed to be a part of this "League of Legends". What does this have to do with the Institute again?" Katarina asked wearily.

"To answer your question Kat, the Institute is where you go to become a part of the League, to fight for your country against others and what not." Allison droned on.

"You know you look really crazy talking to yourself right Allison?" Darryl questions knowing full well that he looks just as crazy when he does it, 'but then again she hasn't seen me talk to myself yet' Darryl thought.

"Aw we all know Talon wanted more details than what you gave him. Can't just withhold information like that." Allison said while beaming, doesn't help that she looks rather strange by grinning like that considering the circumstances.

"Fair enough, but then again Talon has just taken to calling me an idiot every time I do something he doesn't while in his body." Darryl responds while walking over to the thief and readying his newly acquired arm blade for the killing blow. Darryl swiftly plunging the blade into the thief's throat killing him instantly.

'Well, I just killed a guy, don't know how to feel about that one' Darryl thought before saying, "Ok Talon where do you normally dump these bodies?"

"Oh wow, its later than I imagined, gotta make sure the events go as planned so I can keep track of things. Later Darryl, enjoy your murder games." Allison said before merely walking away from the crime scene.

"Later Kitty Kat Allison." Darryl replies while slinging the body over his shoulders and walking away to the nearest gutter as per Talon's directions. "Oh before I go, enjoy explaining who Talon is to Katarina." Darryl then quickly runs off while laughing to himself.

"So are you done ignoring me? Who was that?" Talon asks in an annoyed tone.

"Ha no telling, that would ruin the surprise." Darryl unhelpfully answers while smirking.

"You are insufferable; you are in my body damn it I demand to know just what the hell is going on!" Talon retorts with an angry tone.

"Fine fine, basically, that was your future bosses daughter and she is currently in the same situation you're in. How Allison got into this mess along with me I have no clue but hopefully we will find out by sticking to how things are suppose to go in your universe." Darryl explains mainly just so he doesn't have to deal with Talon constantly demanding what's going on.

"There, now was that so hard?" Talon sarcastically replies before saying, "Now take a left here and there should be a gutter nearby you can drop the idiot."

Before Darryl can follow Talon's directions he is interrupted by someone dropping down in front of him and saying, "Well looks like someone beats me to it, now Blades Shadow are you going to come with me or am I going to have to kill you?"

Sighing, all Darryl can think before unceremoniously tossing the body off of his shoulder and readying his blade arm is 'This is going to be a long day.'

"So who was that?" Katarina asked.

"Well, the one doing the talking is my friend Darryl; he is currently in the same situation as I am. The body he was in was Talon, who you will most likely meet very soon if I have the right timeline." Allison said, as per usual, not being very helpful. Katarina gave up on asking anymore questions.

After finally arriving home, Allison was instantly greeted by a smaller, blond haired girl with green eyes. "Sister, you're back! Father was just about to send out some of his men to find you."

"Oh great it's Cass" Katarina says in an exasperated tone, "Quick repeat after me."

"Hello again little sister, Father was looking for me?" Allison said, mimicking Kat. Cass nodded quickly. "He said he had a gift for you." The little Cass then skipped away, still quite young. 'Yes this is the right timeline… awesome.' Allison thought to herself.

It wasn't hard to find Marcus, just follow Cassiopeia. Seems like she wanted to see what gift Kat was going to be given. The general was sitting in his office it seems, reading over reports and orders from the Grand General at the time.

Looking up from his reports, Marcus smiles before standing up and saying, "Ah there you are, it seems that Cassiopeia told you about the gift I wanted to give you." With that said, he pulled out a box from one of his desk drawers. "Here, I think you will like it."

Without any second thoughts, Allison tore at the wrapping paper to reveal two beautifully crafted daggers. 'So this is where Kat got her initial daggers from. Neat.' Allison thought.

Before Allison could respond to Marcus she was interrupted by Katarina nearly squealing in her head, "Oh my god... those the custom made curved one and a half foot long daggers forged from special Ionian steel, I have been wanting to get my hands on those for over 2 years. This is…" Katarina seems to remember that she was not alone during her mini freak out before quietly mumbling, "... Just tell father thank you for the daggers."

"Father I… THANK YOU!" Allison squealed before jumping over to hug Marcus. He didn't seem overly surprised, well... maybe a little bit. "Eh, close enough." Katarina murmured. "I love them I really do. Thank you." Allison said before Cassiopeia cut in. "Sister! I have a gift for you too!" The little blonde teen was bouncing with excitement. She was holding up a little hand-made card. It read "happy birthday" and was covered in glitter and lace. It was rather pretty. Now Allison can feel Katarina face palming. "I can't believe I forgot my own birthday. Wow." Allison could hear her smile through her voice. "16 years old already, time flies by so fast it seems, doesn't it?" Marcus said reminiscing. 'Katarina, you will meet Talon soon enough, It's nearly time.' Allison thought to her.

"Good," Was her only answer.

Meanwhile in an unmarked alleyway in Noxus the body of Talon is currently standing hunched over and panting over two dead bodies, one of them a fresh corpse, the other already cold to the touch. "How many of these guys do you have to deal with daily?" Darryl asks in between breaths

"Normally one to two, but on the really annoying days three, we should be fine for now though." Talon responds mildly impressed with Darryl's ability to kill the man in combat. That being said he didn't come out without a scratch; his arms are covered in nicks, cuts, and other injuries. He also has a small nick on his cheek from a particularly close stab to his face.

"Yeah well, let me just dump these bodies and I will head back to the safe house." Darryl replies finally catching his breath while dragging the two bodies to the gutter before kicking both of them into it. While walking back to Talon's safe house to recover all Darryl can think is 'God I hope I don't have to deal with this shit for too much longer.'
