Sammy sat in the center of the living room and was playing patty-cake with Emma, teaching the little girl several different patterns and the two laughing when one of them would mess up. Hope soon joined them and the three girls were now playing together while the TV showed an old Disney movie.

"So, let's see if I got this." Lisa said, standing at the back of the room with the others, except for Lance, who was sitting on the couch and watching Hope, Emma and Sammy. "We're living in an alternate timeline to one where all of you are members of the DWMA and Sammy's missing her memory from it?"

"Yep." Vickii said, popping the 'p'.

"And everyone one else in the group has theirs?"

"Ye." JJ grunted as a response.

"And the reason that Sam doesn't have them is because the half-witch, Gwen, who is also Shawn's twin sister, has them?"

"Yeah." Jaxon said.

"And Emma's is Sammy's adopted daughter, who is also a witch?" Lisa watched Rob nod his head. "And Sam is filled with black blood that Shawn's mother, Cynthia, the expired head of The Black Magic Dealers, caused by filling her with multiple doses of madness and innocent souls and witch souls?"

"Pretty much." Haley said.

"And Shawn's a half-witch, half-weapon that started off by lying to all of you, injecting you with madness so Sam would slowly absorb it, then killed his own mother when he realized he actually liked you guys and is now wanting and waiting to kill his sister?"

"Ja." Fabian muttered.

"And now Gwen, who had created doppelgangers of you, using them to frame Jaxon for assault and making it seem like Shawn beat the life out of her, is now mocking all of you, taunting you with Sammy's memories and is trying to take over the world?"

"Yes." Tori sighed.

"Damn. You guys have been through a lot in less than a year."

"You have no idea." Everyone said.

"And there's more details you don't need to know about...yet." JJ said.

"We're just gonna wait and see what happens when those details come up." Vickii admitted.

"Plus it'll take another hour to explain those as well." Haley added.

"Why the hell is there a truck and a car outside the house?" Free asked as he and Giriko barged into the house.

"Who are they!?" Lisa yelped.

"I knew we were forgetting something." Tori said.

"Lisa, say hello to our chainsaw bodyguard, Giriko and our immortal wolf-man, Free." Vickii explained, pointing towards the large man with grand gestures.

"What the hell!?" Lisa exclaimed.

"Yeah, it's a lot to take in." Rob said, rocking on his feet.

"I need to talk to you." Lance said to Giriko as he stood up and walked to the kitchen. "Where the hell have you been!?" Lance asked in a harsh whisper when Giriko was in the kitchen as well.

"I've been keeping an eye Sam, that's my job." Giriko whispered back.

"You kidnapped her from college!" Lance snapped.

"What else was I supposed to do?"

"Leave her alone, perhaps?"

"I had no way to get a-hold of you after Gwen's spell, so I figured if I had her you'd find me." Giriko explained.

"And Free?"

"Ran into him at the college. He was the one who suggested coming to the old house, thinking it might trigger at least some of Sam's memories or something."

"Free kind of has the right idea." Lance muttered. Giriko raised an eyebrow and gestured for Lance to continue. "Sam technically still has her memories, but they're buried deep in her subconscious. What Gwen took away from everyone was the ability for them to recall those memories. For everyone else in the world, she just destroyed so she wouldn't have to worry about them. But she kept the others to harass me with them."

"So everyone in that room, but Sam, has their memories?" Giriko asked and got a head nod in response. "And the others?"

"Gwen smashed them in front of me. Their memories are forever trapped in their minds. They can't become weapons or use their meister abilities or recall any of their DWMA training. Nothing."

"Wait a second, before they got their memories back, Hope was able to see my soul. So there is a chance of the others remembering."

"Hope was only able to do that because Gwen hadn't destroyed the bead she was using to hold her memories and you triggered that ability. She probably had no idea what it was at the time, but it was there."

"This is way too fucking complicated." Giriko groaned, rubbing the sides of his head.

"Gwen cast a complicated spell." Lance said. "That's why there was a good chunk of time between Gwen casting the spell and her coming to America to face us. Gwen needed a while to recover from that powerful of a spell, we're only half-witches and I'm shocked she's not dead after that."

"Can't you just do like a spell reversal or something. Can witches do that?"

"I'm not strong enough to cast that strong of a reversal spell."

"Well, fuck."

"I know."

"Any way you could get more power for the spell?"

"Maybe. But I'll need some time to do some research first."

"What's the plan then? We can't just let Gwen run free and fuck the world over. That's supposed to be my-never mind."

"I'm going to ignore that and I'll let you know as soon as I figure it out." Lance answered and stepped out of the kitchen. He watched as Emma was playing with Free's hair while the large man held her, the rest of the group were still talking quietly to each other in the corner.

"You know her?" Sammy asked. "Do you know why she keeps calling me 'mama'?"

"Because you are her mom." Free answered bluntly as he put Emma back down.

"I...what?" Sammy rubbed her arm. "I can't be..."

"Well, her adoptive mother. She's your kid from the other timeline."

"She's...I have a daughter?" Sammy was dumbstruck for a moment before her face scrunched up in anger and she walked over to Free.

"Why didn't you tell me I had a daughter!?" She snapped after thumping the man upside the head.

"That's one less thing that'll need to be explained." Lance said.

"Papa!" Emma ran to Lance. "Look what I learned." Emma held out a hand, she separated her middle finger from her ring finger, had her thumb sticking out and kept the others closed. "I'm Spook!"

"Spock." Giriko corrected.

"Papa?" Sammy asked.

"Have fun explaining this one." Free chuckled.

"I'm her uncle." Lance quickly responded.

"Her uncle? Her uncle?" Sammy let out several sounds of confusion. "What the hell?"

"In the other timeline, Emma's parents were divorced and when Emma visited her father, Shawn was the only one there most of the time since Emma's father worked a lot, so Emma started calling Shawn, 'dad'." Giriko answered when Lance froze.

"How did she end up becoming my daughter if Shawn is her adoptive father?" Sammy asked.

"When Emma's father passed away, her mother gave her up for adoption and Shawn was unable to adopt her at the time, being too young and not having a full time job." Giriko continued. "You were out on a mission a few months ago and ended up inside of the adoption center where Emma was at and saw her. You fell in love with her instantly and after doing some paperwork, bugging the DWMA to allow this to happen and blah, blah, you because Emma's mother and she must still have her memories of when Shawn took care of her in the other timeline."

"Oh..." Sammy said as if she understood. "What?" She looked around for a second before groaning. "I'm so lost right now."

"Just nod your head and accept it." Giriko said.

"But-"

"Mama, I'm hungry." Emma whined, interrupting Sammy's protest.

"Do you really care about all of this?" Giriko crossed his arms. "Your daughter needs you and that's all that matters."

"Okay." Sammy held her hand out for Emma to grab and the two went into the kitchen.

"How the hell did you come up with such a complicated back-story on the spot like that?" Free asked, a little impressed.

"I've had many different lives and bodies, you learn how to come up with a past quickly after the tenth time." Giriko shrugged with a smirk.

"Pretty sure that's the back-story to a character on the weird Soap Opera you and Sam watch." Lance said.

"Maybe." Giriko admitted.
