Alright, I decided on short notice to add three OCs. Now, I'm sure that at least half of you have just rolled your eyes and thought, "Great, another ChasexOC fic." Well, if you're going to judge a book by its cover then go ahead, it says a lot more about you than it does me. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the new chapter. Again, I do not own any of the characters of Xiaolin Showdown or Hellsing. I only own Selene, Severus, Artemis, and Apollo.

Chase was sleeping lazily as Jack was off chasing Shen Gong Wu, and Wuya hadn't been foolish enough to rear her ugly head again. He didn't expect Jack anytime soon, especially if he got his butt handed to him like always. It was when he felt something jump onto his bed and delicately step its way to his chest that he was stirred from his sleep to at least allow his other senses to investigate. The creature laid down on his chest and Chase immediately could tell that it wasn't Bean, unless he was using the Moby Morpher, but Chase couldn't feel metal. It was when he heard someone try to quietly walk in that he was on full alert.
"Severus," she scolded, "how many times do I have to tell you not to bother the patients that are sleeping?"
She gently scooped up the creature causing it to cry out in indignation, which caught Chase's attention as he gently grasped the feline's paw. The woman holding the black cat stopped as she looked into Chase's eyes. He released the feline as she turned to face him.
"And what is your name?" he whispered.
"Selene," she replied.
"Why do you have a cat in the hospital?" he asked.
"He's a therapy cat," she answered. "And you're name?"
"Chase," he responded.
He could have sworn by the looks of her that she was Katnappé's older sister. However, instead of short, blonde hair, she had red, wavy locks, but the way the red contrasted with her blue eyes. She stared at him incredulously as his eyes wandered down the voluptuous curves of her body, especially those wide hips. Chase brought a hand up and rubbed his face as he thought that he must have been horny if he was focusing on her attractiveness. He wasn't entirely sure if that was it, but something about her, her scent, the air around her, whatever it was, seemed similar to him. If it wasn't for that mysterious factor, he would have smacked that glare off of her face.
Taking a quick look to be sure the doctors weren't coming, she moved to the foot of his bed, immediately putting him on guard. He watched her as took the clipboard at the end of his bed and skimmed over it. It felt like a hook was tugging at one of his eyebrows as he offered her one of his own incredulous looks. When she put the clipboard back, she looked at him with a sour look on her face.
"I knew you had the smell of a dead man on you," she said point blank.
"What is that supposed to mean?" he all but yelled.
"You're supposed to be dead," she answered in a matter-of-fact tone. "However, you are lying here, healing faster than the average human, might I add."
"What business is it of yours?"
"They didn't find the bite mark, did they?"
"How did you...?"
"I know many things. You're lucky that his bullet only grazed your leg. I've heard of them blowing legs clean off," she stated.
Chase gulped at the thought of only having a stump where his healing leg was instead, "I tend to have a lot of good fortune."
"You don't sound so confident with this one," she mentioned.
Suddenly, she just decided to leave as she headed to the door, her hips swaying suggestively as she went. The black tom in her hands waved its paw at him as he waved absentmindedly back. A few minutes after Selene had left, Jack came waltzing in with a Wu in hand. He sat next to Chase as he handed over the Wu to him. Chase took it and looked in its direction as his fingers moved deftly over it, but his mind was elsewhere as he thought about what she had said. As he thought about it, he remembered how the sight of the monster, which he now knew as Alucard, had sent him into an attack. How many people out there actually knew this Alucard while he had never even heard of him? Was he pulled into a completely different field that not even he was ready for?
"Hey Chase?" Jack prodded, pulling Chase from his thoughts. "You okay?"
"I'm fine," Chase lied, "just thinking. I see that you got the Culver Crystal."
"Yeah, isn't it cool?" Jack said excitedly.
"You know I have no use for Shen Gong Wu," Chase scolded lightly, "but I'm glad to see that you are so excited."
"Really?" Jack asked in disbelief.
I must have drastically mellowed out after that last attack, Chase thought as he nodded.
Chase was happy that he was leaving the hospital today. Jack had brought him one of his robes that he would wear when not wearing his armor. He argued with both the doctors and Jack as they tried to make him sit in a wheelchair. He knew that he wasn't getting out fast enough, so he reluctantly consented. Grumpily, he allowed Jack to wheel him toward freedom. He growled impatiently as he waited for Jack to take care of the paperwork of checking him out. He was sure that he was an amusing sight as some of the older women would point at him and giggle. He sat there in the wheelchair with one of his legs crossed over the other at the knee, his foot bobbing, and his arms crossed in front of him. He looked up as this one old woman waddled up to him.
"They not getting you out of here fast enough, sonny?" she teased.
Deciding to play along as it did lighten his mood, "How else am I going to watch my shows?"
She giggled as she continued on her way. Chase was mildly surprised when Jack lightly smacked his shoulder and told him to behave. When did he get so bold? Chase thought as he looked back at him indignantly. Chase huffed as he sat back like a spoiled child not getting his way. He sighed out in exhaustion and relief when he felt his chair being pushed again as his head fell back to see Jack leaning over him.
"Oh, quit acting like you've never waited on anything in your life," Jack growled.
"At least the stuff I have waited on benefited me in more than just leaving a place," Chase retorted.
Chase didn't wait a further moment when they reached the doors as he pushed out of the chair and waltzed out the door. Jack cried out before racing after him. Chase went looking for that monstrosity that Jack called transportation, coming up empty. He paused when he saw Jack leaning against a red Ferrari with a smug look on face. Chase walked over hesitantly as he eyed the vehicle suspiciously.
"I borrowed it from my dad," Jack boasted shamelessly.
"You naughty boy," Chase groaned.
"Oh trust me," Jack said carelessly, "he's going to rip me a new one when he finds out."
"Well, where do you plan on taking me?" Chase asked, "This beauty won't be able to reach my home."
"You're not going home," Jack stated, shocking Chase thoroughly, "not yet anyway. Wuya's still out there, and she's probably with Bean and they probably have your place staked out, waiting to jump you. Also, since you're now without your cat warriors, they have a real advantage."
Chase growled, "You don't think I could take them?"
"Not while you are still healing," Jack answered, "besides I have a surprise for you at my place."
That was enough to at least compel Chase to the car. Damn him, and his dragon curiosity. Chase secretly felt a thrill when Jack sped off to his home, always having a real lust for speed. It did not take long before they had reached Jack's home. Chase followed Jack inside to an empty room and paused as Jack went over to a box and pulled out a blanket. Chase was about to mock him until Jack forced the blanket into his arms. Chase paused when two little liger heads popped out.
"I went back to your palace to see if any of your cats might have made it," Jack admitted, "I found these guys wandering around looking for food."
Chase recognized the scent of two of his most faithful warriors and he knew that they recognized his scent off of their parents as they looked up at him in awe. He nuzzled them as they nuzzled him back. At least he had some piece of his beautiful warriors still.
"I also got all of your soup," Jack stated as Chase continued to nuzzle the cubs, "couldn't let anyone get their hands on it."
"Thank you Jack," Chase breathed.
"Well, this can be your room until we know it's safe for you to go back," Jack continued.
"Again, thank you," Chase sighed.
"It's nothing," Jack commented. "Hey, can they turn into people like your other cats did?"
"I don't know," Chase admitted, "I've never had cubs before."
"You mean there wasn't any spanking the monkey going on?" Jack asked.
Chase laughed at the terminology used, "Interesting choice of words Spicer, but if there was, they never let on. The males stuck to themselves, and I had only a few females. I only had two of the opposite sex that would mingle together."
"So, if there was any of that… going on," Jack implored, a little too embarrassed to finish.
"It would most likely have been in the form of homosexual relations, yes," Chase answered. "Don't think too much about it. It was only recently I had acquired any female warriors. So, the males had developed relationships amongst each other before then."
Jack nodded his head before he went about showing Chase where he had placed most of his belongings. Chase looked around the room being given to him. It was fairly nice, like staying in a hotel resort. Plus, knowing Spicer, Chase might end up being tended to like he was at one anyway, which slightly annoyed him. He honestly didn't want Spicer worrying about him all the time, he was over 1500 years after all. Walking over to the four poster bed, Chase sat down and watched as Jack was showing him the clothes he had brought from his palace, even spare armor that Chase kept. Jack then walked over to them and scratched one of the cubs behind there ear.
"What are you going to call them?" he asked, "You never got the chance to learn their names after all."
"They're twins," Chase replied, "how about Apollo and Artemis?"
"It works for me," Jack stated, "how do you know they are a boy and girl?"
"I just do," he commented.
"Artemis and Apollo," Jack said with a great deal of thought, "welcome to the family."

MsN: Thanks for spotting for me, Selene.
Selene: No problem, Author. I have to get to my story for a bit because Mordred'll worry
Chase: What do you have planned?
Alucard: What do you think she has planned? *smirks*
MsN: Play nice, Alucard.
Alucard: You're the one who let me taste him.
MsN: You were only supposed to pretend!
Alucard: *shrugs* I was going for authenticity.
