The Grimm
„Alright, almost back home, all done, so how..."
„Oh no, Padfoot, don't you think, you'll escape your dare! " You could almost hear him swear on the inside.
„Alright, I surrender!" He threw his hands up in the air with a forced smile.
You were currently standing in middle of the glade, James mentioned earlier. It was close to the forests edge and you could already see the vague silhouettes of the houses.
„Padfoot today you not only made me run against two walls and a human being, sorry again for that Feathers, but also made me climb a tree as deer. Therefore, it's just fair if I dare you to bring me something out of old Lucifer's living room! Prove that you are such a brave Gryffindor! "Sirius gave a whine of frustration, while Lupin next to you looked as if he was just about to have a seizure.
„Moony..." You were almost scared of asking. „What is Lucifer? "
„A problem". He sighed. „A big problem". You quickly followed James and Sirius in the woods, while Remus explained you the issue with 'old Lucifer.'
„Lucifer is a boar. A very mean and grumpy one to be exactly. Has his 'home', so the earth cave he's living in, on the other side of the forest. Problem is: We already encountered him a few times and somehow…it always resulted in problems. Let's just say the first time Sirius almost lost a hand and the last time James wasn't able to sit for a whole week." That sounded...horrible.
„Don't worry, "he quickly stated upon your sudden, horrified, face„. We should be fine as long as we stay in secure distance. "
„So is it alright when I just hide behind you the whole time? " Your rather jokingly question earned you a pout from Sirius.
„Hey! Don't you think I am capable of protect you!? "
„Well, not since you are the one who wants to start the problems in the first place! Also, who made you my personal guardian? "
„Idid! I am from now on! "
„Okay, I will remember your words, Padfoot, just telling you. " A wide smirk appeared on your face as you wandered with the Marauders through the dark forest.
You reached the hideout a few minutes later and you watched worriedly after Sirius when he shifted in dog form.
„You know, boy, grow a few Inches and you look exactly like the Grimm. Seriously, dude, you shouldn't sneak up to people who don't know it's you like this. They might get a sirius shock. "The black dog visibly rolled his eyes at your pun before sprinting away, James close behind him with a bright smile on his face. You were sure he wouldn't even remember your advice...poor Harry could've spared him a horrible shock in his third year.
„So, best would be if we just stayed here and wait for them. They will be fine...I guess. "A swift, rustling noise from the other direction suddenly startled you.
„Did you..."
„Yes, I heard it. " Remus eyes mirrored your thoughts; high confusion with a certain amount of 'fuck my life'.
„Should we have a look? A very careful look? "You offered and he nodded slowly.
The two of you carefully made your way in direction of the noise, slow and swift, trying not to draw the attention of whatever it was at you.
The 'whatever' turned out to be a person.
A rather tall man with a flashlight, walking around disorientated and seeming somehow lost. From the distance, you only could see that his hair was dark and that he wore a leather jacket. Then you saw his face.
And once again, as so often these days, you started swearing on the inside.
Well...there really was a Grimm in this forest.
„Nick? " It left your mouth before you had the chance to think it through and indeed: the turned around in surprise, starting at you like a deer in the headlights.
„You know him? " Remus seemed confused but you just nodded.
„Yeah. You know the friends my parents are visiting? He's one of them. Guess they were missing me and sent him to look for me. "Well, you had to do something, not? You couldn't just leave Nick Burkhardt
running around in the wrong universe! How did he even get here? Important question, but more important was to get him back home quickly!
„Hey, Nick! " You finally climbed out of the green and on the small glade; he was wandering around, Remus following only a step behind you. „You were certainly looking for me, eh? "you added a wink that was just inconspicuously enough for Remus not to notice it and hopefully clear enough for Nick to get it.
Luckily, he was a cop... And a quite clever one most times. After a short initial surprise, he instantly played along.
„Finally! I have been looking for you for ages! Where have you even been? "
„Just hanging out with a few new friends, wait, I will be with you in a second! " You quickly turned around at Remus and covered him in a hug before he started asking questions again.
„Goodbye, Moony! Thanks a lot for everything! Also, regards to Prongs and Padfoot, I promise to visit you again as soon as I can, okay. "
„I'm already looking forward to it! " He replied with a tender smile. „Bye, Feathers and take care of yourself, alright? "
„Always! " A last bright smile, a last quick wave before you turned away and hurried to Nick, linking Arms with him and almost pulling him outside the woods.
In a somewhat secure distance, you finally stopped and let go of his arm, followed by a few solid seconds of staring at each other.
Finally, Nick broke the silence.
„You sure do owe me an explanation, young Lady. "
„Hey, first of all: don't 'young-lady' me, Burkhardt. I mean how old are you, 30? Second, you are the one strolling around in the wrong universe, so how about you explain me a few things? "Yeah...maybe that had been a bit too straight forward. His eyes widened and he audible gasped.
„A diff... no, you...no! Now you have to be kidding, I mean...really!? And how do you even know my name? "
„Let's just say I travel a lot, okay? ' bout the first thing though...I guess you already figured out, that this isn't Portland. "
„Quite so, yes". He said with a sigh, putting his hands on his sides as he always did in confusing situations. „That would be an explanation not maybe that far-fetched when I think about how I got here".
„Good point, how did you even get here if I may ask? "
„I fell through a rift. "
„A rift. Trying to get on your way to Wonderland, Alice? "
„Ha-ha, really funny. No, it suddenly showed up. I was on a case and walking through the city, and then there was this...blinding light. And next thing I know, I stand in this wood and get attacked by a boar"
„Oh, you met Lucifer, nice. However, we need to get you back home...quickly. "
„You can do this? "
„I think, but..."only problem; you had no idea where his home was and just trying everything out would certainly end in a disaster. You knew who could help you, but didn't feel comfortable using the coin in front of Nick, so you decided to try your phone.
„666"was the number you dialed and really; he picked up.
„Crowley? "
„...Amy? What a nice surprise to hear you voice, darling. Miss me so much? "
„Shut it, I don't have time for that now. I need to know, which number leads to 'Grimm'...urgently. "
„I told you to figure the other numbers out on your own. Where would be the fun in..."
„No, no fun, Crowley! Yes, you told me, but you didn't tell me that people would start randomly showing up in the wrong universes! "He didn't answer and for a while there was silence until you grew bored of waiting for a response„. Hey, king of the damned, did you die here on me? "
„Try setting 1". Then you heard him hanging up.
„Don't you even say goodbye nowadays? " You mumbled before shoving your mobile in your pocket and starting to adjust the watch. With a wink, you gave Nick the sign to hold onto your arm.
„So you can bring me back? "
„I will try. "
„What a day, "Nick muttered while shaking his head in disbelief. „ and I don't even know your name. "
„Amy. My name is Amy. "
AN: New Fandom in the air! As promised here a short summary for those who don't know Grimm. Or you can skip until Chapter 39 to skip 'Grimm'.
About Grimm: A TV show about the young (and srsly handsome) cop Nick Burkhardt. Nick lives and works in Portland (US) and has a normal life with his fiancée Juliette (except being an „orphan" and raised by his auntie) and best friend and partner Hank, but one day he suddenly starts seeing „monsters". Turns out those „Wesen" live among normal humans and most of them are quite chill and normal (like Nicks soon other best friend Monroe, a Blutbad, and his Girlfriend Rosalee) but some of them are assholes and murder people or other Wesen. Nick is what they call a Grimm. He can see the true faces of the Wesen but since Grimms used to fight and kill them for centuries, they are not quite popular among them. Also, they used to write everything they knew down a bit man-of-letters like just without the sexism. (3 of 4 Grimms appeared until season 3 are total kickass woman.)
But Nick is chill and doesn't really want to hurt anyone, so he just tries to make a good job as cop and not to freak out/get killed because of his unlucky bloodline. Although sometime in Season 2 when the Grimm-Reapers get after him he turns a bit to 'you know, fuck that shit who's ready for a round of behead, behead, behead'.
10/10 would recommend, watch it, it's awesome.
