A/N Okay, here's the tail-end of that chapter I posted earlier. I've only just started Chapter Three, and some reviews would make me want to write more.

Chapter Two:
The Left Hand's Right Hand

"Are we ready?" asked Van Helsing. The room they stood in was made entirely of stone, adorned only by a few not-so-reassuring scorch marks.
"I hope so." replied Carl, facing Van Helsing. He held up the vial. "When I count to three, I'll smash this into the ground. The ensuing blast will not harm us, but send us back to the time we command. TO command it, we have to think about the time repeatedly... so, when I count to three, start thinking only of the words '400 years back.' Keep thinking it over and over again."
"How do we get back to present time?" asked the Vampire Hunter.
"We don't." Carl said slowly. "Before you panic, listen to me. We'll be immortal to time's ravages. We won't be able to die from old age; in fact, we won't age at all. SO, we'll just have to live out those 400 years in seclusion so we don't interrupt the flow of time with our presence."
"How do you know this? Is it possible?" asked Van Helsing quickly. He was starting to like this harebrained scheme less and less with every second.
"I don't know it. It's a theory. Look, before you panic, continue to listen! It may not be a proven theory, but at least it's very sound: how can we die before we are born? One our 'timelines' sync back up to this day, we'll start to age again and eventually die of good old age."
"What's with all this 'we' stuff? Who said you were going?" The other asked, suspicious.
"Honestly Van Helsing. Did you think I'd pass up the opportunity to see if this, possibly my greatest invention, worked? Besides, you need someone to look after you. Since Anna died, you haven't been careful. You haven't been even attempting to protect yourself from harm." Carl said with deep concern.
"Don't worry so." Gabriel muttered darkly.
"Isn't this a cause for worry?" Carl asked, peeling back Van Helsing's right sleeve with shocking force to reveal that the Hunter's arm was all gashed up. "You used to come back nigh untouched. I used to be able to work on my inventions in peace while you were gone, now I hardly get anything done from worrying about you. I still haven't finished that automatic gun yet because of you...." He sounded ruffled.
"And I still don't see why I can't have one of those." Van Helsing mumbled.
"It's not practical." Carl sighed. They'd been through this many times; Gabriel was like a child after a new toy, and utterly relentless.
"It's not practical for me not to get killed?" he shot back.
"Don't make me answer that. I wouldn't be worrying about this, the tenth almost fatal wound I'd have to bandage, if I cared about that. But I'm not going to bandage it now." Carl sighed.
"And for a second there I thought there might be something between us..." Van Helsing sighed.
"You git, I'm not bandaging it because I don't care, I'm not bandaging it because when we go back in time it will heal on it's own. You won't even have a scar." Carl quipped in his usual tone.
"Oh good, I don't need anymore of those." Van Helsing said dryly, pulling his sleeve back down. "Carl, are you sure you want to risk this? I was around in some form or another 400 years ago, it shouldn't harm me. Are you sure this won't mess you up?"
"Could I get more messed up? Besides, if something goes wrong with this and you get really mad at me, you might go back and try to kill my ancestors. I need to watch out for my own ass." Van Helsing smiled at Carl's likely unconscious curse. "And you may be the left hand of God, but what's a left hand without a right hand? You need one." Carl grinned cheerily, liking the newfound importance he had found for himself.
"If I need a right hand so desperately, why the Hell did God send you?" Van Helsing asked sarcastically. Carl's laughter carried all the way through time as the glass smashed and they began to concentrate solely on the words '400 years back.'

A/N Well, how was it? I'm not sure everything is accurate, (dates, etc.) so please politely tell me if something is wrong. I am also aware of the fact that Van Helsing might not be completely IC (I didn't have enough time for him to be moping in this chapter) but he'll start missing Anna real soon... ehehe... REVIEW!!
