"Now what the hell are we doing?" She asked him in extreme irritation.

Nick rolled his eyes to himself as he was getting tired of her attitude. This has been going on for a while & it was getting really annoying now. He understood why she was in a foul mood of course but she was beginning to become more unbearable than she already was & he was already tired enough. He didn't get a chance to sleep on the plane so he was still feeling the heavy amounts of fatigue he was carrying as he rubbed his hand down his face.

He let out an aggravated deep breath before turning around to face her & she widened her eyes at him in an annoyed expectation of an answer, shaking her head a little in a 'well I'm waiting' motion.

"In the car, this was amusing. At the airport, it was a little tiresome but still, amusing. The plane! No longer amusing, just annoying. And now! You're just pissing me off!" He exclaimed at her.

She had a look of exasperation along with aggravation appear on her face. "Oh, I'm sorry, when you have a child taken from you, let's see how happy you are!" She exclaimed right back at him. Taking a step closer to him to assert her point.

"I understand that but as I recall I'm not the one who took her!" He shouted back at her, taking his own step towards her to show he wasn't backing down.

"Oh that's right, you just take powers instead" The amount of condescending tone she said that with had him taken aback because no way she was trying to say it like what he did was worse than the things she has done. Especially the way she folded her arms just now.

"You tried to take my Aunt Marie's life" He chided back at her, taking another step towards her.

She took another step herself. "Key word Tried! I tried to take your aunt's life!" She countered. Leaning her head forward a little to add some more attitude to it.

"Oh yeah, that just makes it all better" He replied extremely patronizing & sarcastic. "You actually did poison, Hank & Wu! He leaned his head forward this time, to match her doing it.

"He still alive isn't he?! And I don't even know who the hell Wu is." She spat out. Leaning forward more. Nick was about to say something back until he realized just how close their faces were to each other. He was uncomfortable with how if he barely looked down he could see her lips & her eyes looked down at his for a second.

She let out a mocking scoff & smirked along with it. "Don't act like you haven't done that before" She ridiculed. Referring to the kiss he gave her to take her powers away.

He scoffed back at her this time though. "Oh I'm aware" He said as he brought his right hand up to his lip & pulled down the bottom one. Showing the scars that still existed in his mouth from her bite from that same kiss.

They both just got quiet now, either they ran out of insults or just were tired. He decided he'll just end this here so they can re-focus, they didn't have time for this. She surprisingly beat him to the punch.

"Look for Diana's sake, you can't hate me anymore for now & I can't hate you" She said, sounding a little defeated by the thought. He knew she was right because he was about to say the same thing but he still was processing it & accepting it in his mind.

Something she said just caught his attention though.

"Diana?"

Adalind remained quiet for a moment, her eyes having tears swell up in them once again. "That's what I named her before Sean took her." Nick stayed silent at that new information. He was literally just hating her a minute ago, & now he was feeling for her again.

She inhaled a breath to help her eyes from losing the tears that had swelled in them. She turned back up to look at him with a look in her eyes that showed him how much she was truly hurt & struggling to keep it together. He knows he already had this thought before but he can see her in a different light now than he ever has.

He genuinely thought she didn't give a damn about anything unless it was herself. Hell, most Hexenbiest are like that.

He had a thought about the first moment he ever saw her, back when he was buying a ring to propose to Juliette.

She looked like life was going pretty well for her, which it probably was. She was a beautiful woman with a high-paying lawyer job & she seemed to be pretty well-liked by her colleagues judging by her hanging out with a friend or two at the coffee shop that day. He was more focused on the sudden decay of her face since it was the first time he ever saw a Wesen but the detective in him still observed all of that.

He went to that moment because as far as he was concerned, she wasn't involved with anything until apparently, Renard forced her to be. Well he may have forced but she still made the decisions, Nick was more focused on the fact he wondered what she was like before that. Maybe she was more human & sensible back then, than how he used to see her for the past almost two years.

Kind of weird to him how now that she is all emotional & hurting that it's the first time she's ever appeared human to him. Well in a feelings kind of way, not in the "she's a Wesen" kind of way.

His mind was interrupted by the sound of her voice though. "Nick you got to fill me in on some of your plans or I'm going to go insane soon" She said it through repressed cries & with a needing look in her eyes. Nick knew she meant she needed to be distracted by something in order to keep herself level-headed.

He looked out the window for a moment just to be cautious even though he knew nobody knew they were there...yet. "Well, you should check your suitcase" He motioned as he turned around to face her again.

She opened it & threw her hands up as she said "I don't see anything besides the clothes you got me"

"Check under them all" He walked towards her a little as she put the suitcase on the bed now, dispensing the few clothes in them onto the bed now & she saw something she didn't expect.

"What the hell?" The complete confusion was deep in her voice on this one. "How the hell did you get your hands on my mother's hat?" She asked as she picked it up out of the suitcase. "How did you even know about all this?"

"Let's focus on trying to get Diana back then after I'll let you know how & why everything happened."

She had an amused expression. "And why can't you just fill me in on some of it?"

"I'm helping you, not trusting you" He spoke with a smile. That implied it was a tease but they both knew he also meant that as well. "Also, because theirs some things your not going to like"

"I don't care, I'll do anything to get her back Nick. I need her back." She sounded firmer than ever.

"I'm glad you said that because you might want to keep that in mind." He started having a look on his face like he knew this was going to become uneasy. "Well..." She started squinting at him.

"Renard is going to help us" He finally said.

"What! You want the man who gave her away in the first place to help us!" She spat out in very quick anger and started embroiling in her. He held out his hand in a settle-down motion as he walked closer to her.

"I never said he was going to know about it or actually be here...well very loosely speaking."

She started looking at him like he grew an extra head & said something insane. "What the fuck are you talking about?" He couldn't help but smirk a little at her confusion because he was pretty sure Adalind with a clear head would have figured out what he meant.

"You're going to turn me into Renard."

She stood in place for a moment, either in shock or distress building up. "Come again? She asked but she knows she heard it right the first time but still.

"I found out that there is a way for you, specifically since your a hexenbiest to turn me into Renard." He looked very uneasy in his posture. She looked from him to the hat and then back up to him with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh no" She deadpanned. "You want me to make the Verfluchte Zwillingsschwester?!" She hissed in the disbelief of a whisper. "I don't even know how this is going to work on a Grimm, let alone even have what it requires to make it! Not to mention you need DNA of some sort of the person you are becoming."

Nick then went to the suitcase he brought which didn't contain much. The things he wish he could have truly brought to fight with weren't exactly going to just get past airport security seeing as he wanted to bring the blade he used on the gelumcaedus, his ax, & a crossbow was his preferred choices. But good luck on sneaking that through without any attention. Already was bad enough with fake passports.

With that being said he opened his up & took out a little plastic ziplock back that had hair in it. Adalind's face went completely unamused at the sight. "Let me guess, another one of those things you'll tell me about later."

"See you're catching on" He teased as he handed it to her. "What else do you need?" He questioned as she took it from him but she still wasn't a fan of this at all.

She let out a sigh. "A lot. You know this would have been easier if you just told me so I could have brought the stuff we needed"

"Alright with most of the things you need, how much could have gotten past airport security with no issue at all?" He felt a little smug in saying it because he was sure she wasn't going to have an answer on that one.

Her mouth moved to speak & she had a knowing look on her face but no words came out. Just some noises like she was trying to think of anything to say just to show him up but she couldn't think of anything. "...Good point" She relented. "Shut up" She added on as she set the stuff down & walked into the bathroom.

She closed the door & took the time to notice her appearance in the mirror she passed by. This hotel wasn't the worst thing she's been in over the course of these insane couple of weeks for her so she wasn't going to complain too much. For some reason, Nick said he had a "good feeling" about the safety of this one. She knew that really he meant this was just another part of his plan that he was yet to fully inform her of but now she starting to see why.

She wasn't too big a fan of some of the things they already have done but he lets her know what the end goal is on why they are doing this or that & he has come through on all of it so she has decided to do it for now.

She took a look at herself officially in the mirror now. She didn't give a damn about her appearance anymore but she hated how puffy red her eyes were. Made her look & feel weak.

She did however have a liking for the few clothes Nick got her. Nothing complicated or designer like she usually wore but again, she doesn't really give a damn about that anymore. She took a look at the boots that she mainly liked because she had been running around in black, knee-high boots that were a little loose from being worn down & they weren't the easiest thing to effectively run in. She was lucky they didn't have too high of a heel to them.

Now though she was in dark black boots that didn't have heels at all and are ankle high while also being more warmer, comfortable, & easier to move in. Along with black jeans that went into the boots but she loved how snug they were because she still just had a baby a little while ago & anything that felt tight would have really been uncomfortable to her.

The rest was just a white shirt with a black jacket that almost resemble the kind he usually wears. But again, it was comfortable. She wonders if he knew how comfortable it was if he would on purposely change it to something less comfortable just to get at her since he hates her. The bra & panties though he did not get & she found the thought of how awkward he would be trying to do that very amusing & it even made her giggle to herself.

She finished up using the bathroom & walked back outside to the bedroom. She saw Nick looking out of the window & she was glad he was extra cautious because she was pretty aware & alert herself.

He gave one more peek before switching around to watch her. "Now what do we do" She asked him when she saw he faced her.

"Well, I'm sure you know someone who can get you the things you need to make the potion am I right?" He asked knowingly. At first, she was going to tell him he was wrong but then an idea hit her.

"I knew someone..."

"Knew?"

Adalind contorted her mouth a little bit at the memory. "She's kind of dead."

"Of course, she is" He said accusingly.

"It wasn't me" She was glad to be the somewhat smug one this time.

"Really, then how did she die?" He questioned but still with a shit-eating accusing smirk on his face.

"Well, she was pretending to be me & got stabbed for it."

He furrowed his brows this time. "So you stabbed her for turning into you?"

"No, I didn't someone else did"

"Because she was pretending to be you?" He asked trying to piece this together.

"No, I mean well yes"

He furrowed his brows once again & shook his head in confusion. "What?"

"Yes, she got stabbed because she was pretending to be me & because she betrayed me."

"And how did you find that out?"

"Because she told me" Adalind answered.

"Who?"

"Stefania a gypsies"

"The one who stabbed..." He wanted her to fill in the name that he did not know.

"Frau Pech" She filled in for him

"Right so Stefania stabbed...Pech, for betraying you."

"Yes" Adalind shook her head, glad he was understanding it.

"So we are going to see Stefania then" He said hoping he was on track now.

"No no no, she betrayed me too"

"And how do you know that" He asked more flabbergasted this time. "Because Sean told me." She answered.

"Who has also betrayed you" Nick said this time with more understanding because at least that one he did know.

"Yes, so I guess your next in line then huh?" She said with an unamused tone & expression.

"Just trying to figure out why the person would save you then betray you soon after." He placed his hands in his jacket pockets.

"Well she wanted my baby & she had to die so I can get my hexenbiest back" She answered & Nick found himself utterly bewildered again. "What?"

"Look let's not get into this again" She shook her head a little with a little laugh that found the back-n-forth a little amusing. "She can help us because she was a Hexenbiest so if anyone has the things I need. It would be at her place."

"I guess it's good she's dead then" He truly thinks that is on the brighter side of things because hexenbiest can be troublesome. He was looking at living proof of that standing across from him. "I assume you remember where to go then"

She just nodded her head & made a little motion that symbolized 'let's go'

Nick stepped to the side as he opened the door for her & she walked through. "This is going to be fun" Because he had a bad feeling for some reason.
