SO! Random one-shot update. Wizard Jim and Trollhunter Claire with two different teams Trollhunter/Magic Boys. I love the dynamics between all these characters and I swear to GOD I don't think another show could top this for me atm.

This has been an idea I wanted to flood out of my head for a while now but I never knew how to start it story-wise. Hopefully, this eases the rapid amount of ideas I have with it until I figure it the fuck out lol. Hope y'all enjoy it!

"Who are you?" I raised my hands up above me as the silver and blue sword was pointed in my direction. I chuckled nervously as I found my back against the canal wall.

"Um, you're not going to take a friend as an answer, are you?" I yelped a little as the sword was brought closer to where I was standing.

"Answer the question." I swallowed hard. I knew the owner of the voice even though a black mask covered her features. I had watched the fellow teen as I grew infatuated with her character. She was kind and graceful, always declaring that there was always another way to answer problems than with violence.

Kind of ironic that said girl was pointing a sword near my throat.

I tried my best to keep calm as I knew if my face was visible to the hostile Trollhunter that she would lower her sword instantly. I knew that I had ways out of this situation. My mother made sure of that as I told her I wanted to carry on with where she had left off when I was born.

"I want to help the magical creatures of Acadia." I watched my mother who nearly dropped her plate I asked her to grab as I was finishing the last touches on our dinner. It has been something I have been wanting to bring up to her attention for years, but I believe the fact that I was now sixteen made me feel it was about time to make sure my mother knew of my intentions in life.

"Are you sure of this? I raised you without honing your magic at first so you had a choice in the endeavor. Once you choose this life, it is quite difficult to leave it."

"I know." There was a heartbeat of silence before a smile spread across my mother's face.

"If this is what you desire, then I will train you myself. As a half breed, you have to understand that you are a lot more vulnerable than others with magical gifts."

"I know, mom. I'm willing to take the risk."

But as I felt the cold concrete against my neck as my mask raised lightly on my neck, I felt as if I never truly knew what I was signing up for.

Well, I wasn't expecting the cute human girl that caught my eye to be the next Trollhunter either. It seems life likes to throw me curveballs and I'll admit that it's been a little while since I held a bat.

"I'm a wizard." I held my voice firm as I kept my hands up by my head. "Well, half of one."

"What does that mean to us?" A female voice from the Trollhunter's right appeared. She was wearing all black, having a mask just like the Trollhunter herself as she had her hands on her waist.

"The fact that I'm not against you would be one valid reasoning." Another figure appeared on the sword wielder's left as she spoke as well.

"How are we supposed to believe you? You freed the changeling lady that has been trying to kill us."

"Well, I'm sorry that I cast the wrong spell! I'm new to this whole wizard thing just as you are to the whole Trollhunter idea."

"And why do you keep meddling with our plans against the Janus Order? Would you care to explain that?"

"Do you think running into that museum and stealing a piece of Killahead Bridge will keep them from going after you? Were you not told how powerful the order truly is? They have moles everywhere. I wouldn't even doubt they would be in every government across the world." I narrowed my eyes towards the girl, even though I knew that she couldn't see it. "They would search your house, find the piece, then slaughter you before you could toy with them once more. No one will be able to find out how it happened. To be honest, you might want to be thankful for my meddling. If it wasn't for me, they would have known you three are by now." I took a deep breath as I looked directly towards the Trollhunter. "I know you don't trust me and honestly, I wouldn't either if I was in your shoes, but you should know that I would never mean to cause harm to you or those around you."

"I want to believe you, but you can understand why I'm hesitant."

"I don't blame you, but you have to believe me." I watched the sword being pointed at me twitch lightly.

I'm breaking through to her.

I smiled slightly under the mask as I pointed to the face-covering with my left hand. "How about I take off my mask?"

"How would that help us?"

"You'll know the identity of one of the last wizards in Arcadia. There are only three of us calling this town our home, you know. Also," I looked towards Claire once more as I had a feeling her hardened expression that would have been on her face was starting to falter. "Then you'll know that I mean no harm. You'll know who I am as a normal person and then you can judge my merits accordingly." I sat there counting the seconds until the wide sword was dropped from before me.

"You're not serious, right?" Claire looked over to the over masked girl who questioned her as she placed her sword on her back.

"He's willing to showcase himself to three humans. With the history our kinds have with one another, he must desperately want our trust." She looked back to me, turning her body towards me. "I won't force you to go through with it. Especially with the past magic wielders have with humanity."

"I want to." I brought my hands behind my head, untying the mask before I even finished my full thought out loud.

I know who you are. It's only fair.

I pulled the black mask off my head, shaking my head back and forth slightly to get my dark brown hair out of my eyes. I looked towards the Trollhunter with a large smile. It was obvious by her stance that she wasn't expecting what she was witnessing.

"Jim?"

"Hi, how are ya?" She pulled off her own mask, her dark hair barely moving as she did so due to the multiple hair clips I knew she used to keep it in place. Her hazel eyes had a soft look to them as she took a step closer to me.

"I knew something was different about you." I shrugged lightly with a smile still dancing on my lips.

"Guilty as charged." As I was so caught up in the Trollhunter's movements, I didn't realize that her friends joined along in the reveal of one another. The one on Claire's right being Darci and the one on her left was Mary. "Also, a note from an experienced magic concealer, don't be frantic when you need to deal with something. It was the one key that leads me to understand I wasn't the only one in high school with a secret." I gave the three of them a smirk as I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Didn't you just say you're new to the whole wizard thing?" I shrugged at Mary's question before answering her.

"I've had a few months. Give or take a week or so. I haven't had much time to hone my spells. Living my life in a magic-less world though has taught me how to conceal small slip-ups."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Let's just say puberty as a wizard is a lot more exciting than it is for a mortal. Especially when they're a halfling." I shuttered lightly at the memory of having random spell outbursts when heading into high school. One moment I would be just your normal fourteen year old and then the next thing you knew I was floating with no way to stop it. It was through one of these instances that my childhood best friend was introduced to the magical side of me. I was just lucky my time within that 'growing period', as my mother called it, was short. Only a year of close calls to notch my belt before I was in the clear.

Thank Merlin I'm only a halfling. I was told by Douxie that if I was in his shoes, it would have lasted a mortal's lifetime.

"So, do you three trust me now?" I unfolded my arms and placed my hands into my black jean pockets. "I never meant any of you any harm. I was just trying to steer you away from plans that were doomed to fail."

"Still doesn't explain the slip up with Nomura." Mary crossed her arms over her chest before Claire turned her head towards her.

"Give him a break, Mary. He's only been in this mess for as long as we have." She looked back towards me with a gentle look resting on her features. "If I had so little time with spells, I know I would have a mistake here and there as well." I found myself chuckling at her statement.

"Oh, you have no clue. Unlike a friend of mine, I don't have anything to help me cast spells. I have books that I read to understand certain ones and kinds, but he has a gauntlet that helps him on the fly. I just have to hope I'm thinking of the right one." I looked over to Mary as I spoke once more. "Trust me. I was trying to create an energy box for Nomura to be caged in. Instead, I ended up giving her an energy field. One small miss calculation and the result ended up completely different than what I was expecting."

"Well, hopefully, we won't have that problem again any time soon." I whipped my head back towards Claire at such a high speed, I think I would have cracked it if I went any faster.

"Any time soon?"

"You are going to help us out in the future, right?" Claire gave me a wide smile as she spoke. "As you said, there is a lot we don't understand just yet and I'll speak on behalf of all three of us when I say that we would love to have you join us." I found myself giving a soft grin to the Trollhunter as Darci spoke.

"Claire's right." She took a step closer to Claire and me as she continued. "Even if you have given us a tough time in some cases, we have almost gotten ourselves killed more than we can count at this point. Someone else willing to lend a hand would help keep the number where it's at." I laughed wholeheartedly at Darci's statement.

"The more the merrier on the death train!" I laughed into the wind as Douxie held up his glowing gauntlet.

"What if I want off the next station?!" I turned to Toby who was holding onto the side of the floating ship.

"There are no stations!" I smiled towards the mortal as he looked at Douxie and me as if we were insane. He then frantically looked over to Douxie's familiar who was sitting calmly by the human.

"You're not going to stop them?!" The cat adjusted his glasses with his paw before speaking calmly toward Toby.

"For what reason? I am quite content with their actions at the moment."

"You know, there are three others that I know will gladfully lend a hand as well. One of them has been teaching me the ropes of my powers. He could help you all as well."

"Then it's settled. We're all in this together." I smiled at Claire's words as Mary and Darci hovered over each of her sides.

"Yes. Together."
