Kate was driving a Sanctuary car on the way back from the airport when Elizabeth though of something. "Why is there so much security around the UK Sanctuary? You guys said that it was a reasearch lab."

Will and Kate froze and looked at each other in alarm before Will answered her question. "As it's a research lab we are doing some important research that we don't want our rivals to get their hands on."

"Still doesn't explain the paper work."

"The paperwork is mainly the other research lab reports, budgeting and equipment requests. Maybe the odd breakthrough if we're lucky. It mostly goes to our boss as she's the head of the whole network but sometimes when she gets too much she unloads to us."

Elizabeth looked at Will like he wasn't telling the truth at all.

"And the filing," Kate added. "There is so much filing."

They sat in silence until Kate spoke up. "Oh yeah, Will, Vlad is here. He did one of his appearance acts yesterday evening."

Will groaned at the news he had just been given.

"Who is he and why is his presence so bad?" Elizabeth asked catching onto Will's annoyance.

"Vlad, aka Nikola what-ever-his-surname-is, is an old friend of our boss." Kate answered for Will. "He tends to annoy anyone and everyone in the Sanctuary."

"And is a thorn in our boss's side. Has been since they met as far as we are concerned," Will added to Kate's comment.

"Oh," Elizabeth said in a small voice.

The ride to Old City Sanctuary was quiet until they got to the gates.

"Is this the place?" Elizabeth asked looking up at the building in front of her. It wasn't what she expected but she had grown accustomed to that by now. It was smaller than the UK Sanctuary but she expected it extended underground.

"Well let's just hope Henry hasn't changed the codes on us," Kate muttered as she leans out of the rolled down car window to punch a code into the keypad. The gates slowly swung open and Kate let out a sigh before driving in.

The inside of the Old City Sanctuary was much more majestic than the UK Sanctuary. There was a large entrance hall with a staircase leading up to a mezzanine with corridors and doors everywhere. The entrance hall had a warm feeling to it compared to the UK Sanctuary which was, by far, much older than this one.

"Will. Before you go anywhere the boss wants to see you," Kate said grabbing Will's arm.

"If you bump into her say I will go to her office after I grab a cup of coffee," Will replied. "Oh and can you give Elizabeth a tour unless she wants to see her as well."

"Nope. Just you. And at the minute I have a feeling she is having a go at Vlad for destroying a piece of equipment. That or a part of the systems again."

"Yeah, I'll keep that in mind. Knowing her it's probably paperwork she wants to give me." After that Will walked off.

"Right now for the tour," Kate said turning to Elizabeth.


"And this is Henry's lab," Kate said as they walked into Henry's lab meeting an argument between Helen Magnus, Nikola Tesla and Henry Foss.

"Dude, you fried the circuit!" Henry exclaimed. "Not to mention melted my tablet in to process."

"Well next time, Tiny Tim, don't plug you tablet in and leave it unmanned for hours at a time." Nikola argued back.

"Well next time try to isolate the power surges from you experiments! And for your information my tablet was updating."

"Nikola!" Helen interrupted the argument, effectively putting it to a stop. "You will fix everything you have broken or you will pay for it."

"What's going on?" Elizabeth asked Kate.

"Vlad here caused some blackouts last night which destroyed some equipment to put it bluntly." Kate answered.

"Elizabeth you're back!" Henry called across the room. Elizabeth waved to him.

"Helen," Nikola scolded. "You know we don't play about with our genetics any more and at least try not to make clones," he continued gesturing at Elizabeth.

"Clones?!" Elizabeth said with confused as well as exclamation at the conversation unfolding before her.

"Nikola," Helen warned him while shooting a disapproving look.

"What does Nikola mean about clones?" Elizabeth was now demanding.

"He's not sure what he is taking about, sometimes he never is," Will said trying to sound convincing while trying to cover up.

"Watch it Huggybear," Nikola scolded.

"Huggybear? Is that the best that the best insult you can come up with?" Kate asked joining into the arguments and confusion.

"Nikola. Be quite," Helen said sternly.

"When he says clones he means genetically identical individual, doesn't he? Is she my identical twin sister or am I an actual clone?" Elizabeth yelled pointing at Helen before realising what she had just said. She was then greeted with a room of silence. "She's my sister isn't she? That's why you were vague on the details about her. That's why you never told me the whole story!" And with that Elizabeth stormed out of the room. Will headed after her.

"Will!" Helen called after her but the yelling had already started in the corridor.

"Leave me alone Will," Elizabeth spat the words out like they were poison.

"Please let me help you," Will managed to get it before she stormed off.

"Will. You lied to me!" She yelled as she turned around.

"We didn't tell you in the fir-" Will said trying to reason with the extremely angry Magnus before he was cut off.

"I thought you could be my friend! I thought I could trust you after you told me everything about the world I needed to know! I never expected for you to keep this important piece of information away from me!"

Before Will could reply Elizabeth was gone from the corridor leaving him alone outside of Henry's lab. Will sighed.

"Vlad, way to go for ruining things," Kate said sarcastically before walking out of the lab to get her own work done. Will had wondered off leaving Henry, Helen and Nikola alone.

"Dude you couldn't keep quite for one minute," Henry said annoyed.

Nikola turned to Helen for support.

"I side with Henry," Helen said to Nikola with an icy stare. "If you had kept quite she wouldn't have been able to figure out that we are twins-"

"Twins Helen," Nikola said interrupting her. "I think you failed to mention that."

"Nikola, she went missing in 1873. If you were to ask my father he would tear up and say she was dead. The fact is that she can put two and two together and figure out information you gave her."

"Were you every going to tell her that you were her sister?"

"We were going to slowly give her the information. She had only been out of stasis for a few months before now. We are still giving her infromnation about the time period."

"And you never thought to tell me!"

"Dude," Henry injected. "There is a reason we don't include you in our plans." He was greeted with a stare from Nikola before burying himself in work.

"I agree that it was a bad idea not telling you about Elizabeth as I knew you would instantly recognise her as genetically similar-" Helen began.

"So why didn't you tell me?" Nikola interrupted before earning an icy glare from Helen.

"Well you were cooped up in your lab since you arrived so there has been no chance to say that we had my sister visiting or the fact that she didn't die."

"Well that's no excuse!"

"But it's a valid one. Henry can you keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't break anything else. We don't want the security down and scare her even more. Henry lock up once your done and make sure he doesn't come back in here. And make sure his lab is locked if he wanders out."

"But-"

"No buts Nikola," Helen said in a no nonsense voice as she walked out of Henry's lab.


I am so sorry for the long wait and I am sorry for the fact that the chapters have been and irregular length (mostly short).

Thank you to that guest who pointed out my mistakes.

I hope you enjoy this chapter
