July 2015 Update/Rewrite
"Wake up, we are here" Kol gently shakes her back to consciousness.
"What are you doing?" She is so not a morning person.
"I'm helping you to help me so I can help you. Now get up" She jumps to a sitting position, barely misses hitting her head on the roof of the car. She just glares at Kol as the events of last night come barreling through her mind.
"Are you insane? We cant save Klaus. Letting him out of the coffin would be like opening Pandora's box and releasing dragon all at the same time"
"I will be letting him know that is what he is compared to"
"I'm serious Kol! The whole reason he is in there is for Elena's safety. He's not suppose to be let out until she is dead"
"True, that was the deal struck between my brother and your merry little gang. But they forgot one tiny little detail"
"What detail?"
"I'm Kol Mikaelson. It was written into the contract that I signed with the devil that I am to be the bane of my siblings' existence. Honorable and noble Elijah made the deal with them. That's practically a dare in my book to undo said deal. Besides, once we save Nik, he will be thankful and feel indebted to follow our lead of not going after the doppelgänger"
"Do you honestly believe that?"
"Not in the slightest. That's why we are going to offer him everything he has ever wanted in exchange for him forgetting about the doppelbitch"
"Hey!"
"Moving on. Here is the plan. I'm going to go out to eat with Elijah, get him to tell me where Klaus is. Then I'm going to text you. You are going to play Laura Croft and break in and break him out. You text me when you are done. I let Elijah know once again that secrets are pointless in this family. Then we all reconvene in the hotel room. Got it?"
"Yes... but you aren't actually going to send me out looking like this around New York?"
"What do you mean? You look fine"
"Fine? I'm in bar clothes that then went on a road trip. I so do not look 'fine' and this argument is with out me looking in the mirror. If I'm playing superhero-white knight then I should at least look like I have my life under control"
"Ugh, what do you want?"
"Money for clothes and to get my hair done, unless you brought a blow dryer and a curling iron?"
"Not a chance in hell. Here" He pulls out his wallet and hands her a black credit card and a room key. "Don't make me regret that. We are staying at the penthouse suite in the Hiltons. Do you think you can remember that?"
"Yes" She starts to walk away then stops to turn to him again. "Do you think this will work?"
"Depends"
"On what?"
"Do you think you could give my brother a chance?"
She hesitates for just a slight moment before answering, "Yeah. I think I could"
"Then I think it will work"
"It's because of you, you know that right?"
"What do you mean?"
"I don't think I would have even considered it. I mean I don't think I could take a chance like this without our talk. So thank you" With a simple nod back to her, he walks off.
