Prompt: Neal +or/ any, Neal is a shapeshifter
He drops the child off at one of his safe-houses, in care of his oldest daughter; she smiles as she takes the infant, assuring him that the others are all accounted for and sleeping.
He only stays a few minutes, and as he goes, he calls in a long-owed favor—his brother answers immediately, and his concerns of safety are alleviated as what the hunters would term the werewolf king sends his strongest pack to guard the property.
Dawn will come soon and he is four states away from New York. For a moment he ponders abandoning the identity, but so much effort has been put into it already, almost three decades worth.
It is an hour before he is in his apartment, and one of his oldest friends smiles as she passes him on the stairs; in silence he cancels the spell on his anklet, shifts his face to that of Neal Caffrey, and, as the sun rises, smiles at the mirror.
