No One's POV

"Hey Bambi." Damon greets as Genesis walks into the kitchen. "You're up early, all bright eyed and bushy tailed."

"Yeah. Well, the Mikaelson family is still linked together from the Original Witch's spell." Genesis offers as explanation. "I figured I should help. And I'd like to check in with Finn."

"Oh. Hmm." Damon simply nods a little, not indicating his opinion either way. "Do you need a ride?" That was offered not at all because he was worried for her safety.

"Sure. If you're heading out. I wouldn't want to inconvenience you." Genesis smiles sweetly. "Or I can just snap. My grace is well on its way to full power." Never mind that even half her power would level most of the town of Mystic Falls.

"No inconvenience." Damon replies. "I need to head into town to grab a few groceries anyways."

"Okay, thanks, Damon."

The Mikaelson mansion was an imposing and impressive picture, both in the dark of evening and light of day, a tasteful build of architecture that Genesis admired as she walked up the stone steps.

"Miss Genesis." Elijah welcomes as she steps into the foyer.

"Hello Elijah." Genesis greets. "And, just call me Genesis, Elijah."

"Genesis, then. Good morning. What can we do for you?" Elijah asks politely, still slightly wary of the angel despite his eldest brother's abundant trust and faith in her; after all, Finn had trusted Esther.

"I'm here for Finn." Genesis wastes no time in stating her intentions. "And, if you'd like, I can take care of your unfortunate situation from the Original Witch."

"You can unbind us." Elijah states, his statement more of a question, however.

Genesis and Finn sat on the couch in the Mikaelson mansion, Finn lying on her lap with her wings resting around him unseen to either Niklaus or Elijah, as Genesis read a book, the picture of the two one of complete peace and serenity; Finn had never felt more peace than he did with Genesis and in the shelter of her great wings.

The senseless and nonsense blathering of Kol and Rebekah interrupted the silence of the Mikaelson mansion as they walked into the mansion hours later, now home from school, Rebekah's heels clicking on the marble and Kol's feet stomping through.

"Kol. Rebekah." Elijah breezes into the hallway between the foyer and the main room.

"Lijah." Rebekah greets her brother.

"We have-" Elijah begins to explain.

"Oh, Genesis!" Kol darts past his older brother, having caught sight of Genesis sitting on the couch, her hair cascading down her shoulders as she continues to read.

Kol was the type of person to enjoy conflict and challenge, at least some, in his friendships, if they didn't have the guts to stand up to him then they weren't good enough to be friends with him; in his mind, Genesis was already his best friend, she had already shown that she would face him head on and wasn't afraid to, if yesterday's portal incident was any indicator.

"Yes…" Elijah sighs. "Genesis is here." Elijah looks up slightly at the ceiling as if praying for mercy or patience.

"What are you doing here?" Kol bounces towards Genesis, looking very much like a puppy who just found a new toy to play with, his energy and enthusiasm endless as he moves around in front of her restlessly.

"Hello Kol." Genesis places her book down, watching him bounce.

"Hello." Kol answers, looking just past Genesis shoulder as if looking for something, perhaps her wings, his head cocked a little in interest.

"I offered my help to unbind your family, to answer your question, Kol." Genesis answers the youngest Mikaelson brother, a little amused by his interest in her; he reminded her of the younger fledglings in Heaven, moreover, he reminded her of Castiel who had followed her around in Heaven in his younger years. "And, Elijah told me that Rebekah had found some unsettling information to share. He wanted my opinion on it."

"Hmm." Kol nods, his attention elsewhere. "I saw your wings… Yesterday. Where are your wings now? Why can't I see them?" Kol cocks his head more as he peers just past her shoulder in confusion, his puppy look only intensifying.

Genesis simply laughs at Kol's confused look.

"Can I see them?" Kol rambles out eagerly. "What do they feel like? Can I touch them?"

Finn growls a little, shifting under Genesis' broad wing span, and sitting up, clearly disliking his brother's attention to Genesis; Genesis was his.

"How about this…" Genesis suggests, sensing that Finn was beginning to have an attachment issue to her, and while she didn't mind, at some point too much of it would become an issue; let's just say, there was Egypt, there was a Queen, a general, and the rise and fall of the Roman Empire to account for. "You can't see my wings because I'd burn your eyes out with my grace. But… You can if I allow you to. It's a simply spell. I don't mind. But, they're too large for in here. We'd have to go outside."

"Then what are waiting for?" Kol questions all too eagerly, flashing outside before Genesis can say anything else.

"Finn?" Genesis questions softly, fingers brushing through Finn's hair, her wings softly brushing over him.

"Yes. Yes." Finn nods. "I would like to see your wings… If you don't mind." Finn offers, voice almost shy.

"I don't mind, Finn. Now, come on. I think your brother is a bit over eager." Genesis smiles, offering her hand to lead Finn outside to the sprawling backyard of the Mikaelson mansion.

"What took you so long?" Kol complains, nearly vibrating in place as he waits for Genesis and Finn to walk outside.

Finn growls again, glancing at his brother in a barely concealed glare, while scooting closer to Genesis in a possessive move.

"It wasn't that long, Kol." Genesis huffs a laugh. "Alright. First, the spell. My grace will hurt your eyes otherwise." She explains, fingers touching Finn first and reaching out to touch Kol's forehead.

"Okay, okay. Are we ready?" Kol asks impatiently, ever the child that he was.

Genesis simply gives him an indulgent look and chuckles.

"Stand back and don't come any closer until I let you." Genesis orders. "My wings are in an astral plain until I reveal them."

"Okay, okay." Kol taps his foot impatiently.

Genesis simply rolls her eyes, stepping back a few feet before shifting her shoulders, wings flexing before they flicker into existence, revealing themselves to Kol and Finn, six large raven colored wings, arching high and imposing, spanning nearly thirty feet either direction to their tips; she was the only one of her Archangel brothers to have that color.

"Okay." Genesis offers, wings resting slightly on the ground.

Kol is immediately on her, fingers reaching out to touch like the inquisitive child he is, the look of pure wonder on his face; Finn is less enthusiastic and zealous, coming to her more hesitantly, before pressing himself close to her wings like a cat curling contently into her touch.

In the end, Genesis lies on her stomach in the grass with a book, her large wings lying stretched out on either side, Finn curled under one side while Kol pokes around her feathers of her other wings, lifting her wings up carefully and waving her wings about as if to flap them around.

"What do you think of Genesis, Niklaus?" Elijah asks his brother, looking out the window at his brothers as they lie in the grass around Genesis, seemingly under large shadows; he presumes they are Genesis' wings, he had seen them momentarily the night before.

"Finn certain likes her. And Kol it seems." Niklaus muses, watching along with Elijah.

"Yes. They do." Elijah agrees. "She's good for Finn."

"I suppose." Niklaus agrees reluctantly, he still didn't trust Finn and was reluctant to have him in the house at all.

"Perhaps she'll be good for us all." Elijah adds.

Genesis references Cleopatra, Antony, & the rise and fall of the Roman Empire.

As the tags say, this is a pairing between Damon/OC/Stefan. Stefan is just being stubborn right now. Genesis will have a close friendship between the Mikaelsons, however.

Also, I couldn't help Kol & Genesis' interaction... It's priceless...
