Disclaimer: I don't own Sanctuary and a shout out to 'Vampire Diaries'! I'll give you a sundae with a Nikola Tesla on top if you find it!
"No, I will not take my shirt off, Will!" Nikola Tesla shouted. Will went completely red and glared at Tesla. The room went quiet. Henry stuck his head up from his computer, Helen stopped mid-sentence on the phone, Kate muted the TV and turned around and John cocked an eyebrow. Nikola smirked.
"I didn't mean it like that!" Will sputtered. "I just meant, it's hot out, let's go to the pool!" Will was able to convince Kate and Henry to take a swim with him. "Look, Kate and Henry are gonna. Join us if you want." Will stormed out the sliding glass door. Kate got up from the couch in only skimpy black bikini top and short shorts.
"Tesla, you could so use some sun. I keep thinking you're albino or something." Henry said as he set his computer down and followed the others out.
"What about you? Druitt? You wanna spend some fun quality time with the kiddies?" Nikola teased. John simply walked outside. "Guess so." Nikola shrugged. "So, what about you?"
Helen hung up and searched through a stack of papers. "I'm not sure. I have a ton of things that needs to be done. I have read and sign these, call a bunch of boring stuck up people, check-up on the other abnormals, refill the wine cellar," she eyed an innocent looking Tesla. "Maybe today isn't the best." Helen frowned and began to carry a stack of papers away.
Nikola was a little crestfallen at her lack of enthusiasm but immediately perked up. Tesla had his emergency-to-get-whatever-I-want plan up his sleeve. "I guess you don't want to see me without my shirt on." Nikola called after her. Helen dropped the stack of papers and turned around smiling. "See, I too Helen, know how you think." Nikola said coolly.
"Cocky much?" Helen walked right up to Nikola. Only inches from his face. She could feel his body heat and saw the glint in his eyes.
"Very much." Nikola cocked his head at her. "I take that as a 'yes', then." Before Helen could reply he grasped her hand and whisked them outside to the pool. In a second, his chest was bare and his shirt lay on the grass forgotten.
Helen glanced at Nikola with a coy smile on her face. She slid off her jacket and shirt to reveal not a bra, but a white bikini top. She smiled to herself as she watched Nikola watching her with eager eyes. Her black jeans fell to the grass as well.
"Well, Helen. You've been holding out on me. Was this all part of the plan to get me outside?"
"No, I knew you'd play that 'shirtless' card. I just simply read ahead. Face it, Nikola; I will always be two steps ahead every time. " Helen said devilishly and dived into the pool perfectly.
"I'd gladly like to watch from behind, Helen." Nikola replied as he removed his black pants and jumped in after her. Will cannoned ball in splashing both of them. "What a child." Nikola was just about to splash Will back, when he was suddenly blasted in the face with a thick stream of water. Nikola sputtered as he saw Druitt looking the opposite way admiring a tree. Nikola scowled. But, before he could counter, a water balloon exploded on the back of his head. Nikola went under for a second, being caught off guard. Tesla broke to the surface to only be hit in the chest by an inflatable ball with an incredible force behind it and saw Helen smiling. "Well, I never expected this from you, Helen." Helen only acted oblivious to Tesla.
"How are you supposed to take over the world when you are outnumbered by us?" Will challenged. He liked how helpless Nikola looked.
"Like this." Tesla replied simply. Smoothly, he jumped into the air and punched the water. Yes, that's right he punched the water. The force of his fist made a giant wall of water surge forward and knocked Henry, Kate and Druitt onto the grass. Helen and Will still being in the water was washed out and sent tumbling onto the grass. Nikola remained hunched in the empty pool with his fist lodged into the tiled flooring. Nikola pulled his fist out and jumped onto the grass. "Better luck next time, kiddies."
