Sorry that this took me ages but I got stuck on this. I wanted to do something more with the Episode, so... This happened. I hope you enjoy it.

Enjoy,

Nick

Against better judgment, I left Niklaus, Elijah and Gabriel in the living room to answer the door. I blinked when the Doppelgänger pushed past me into the house "Oh yes, come on in, why don't you," I grumbled, throwing the door closed behind her "What do you want here?"

"I need to talk to Elijah," she demanded, glaring at me "You know, as Damon's friend you really should help us."

I raised an eyebrow at her "Are you serious right now? You come into my home, demanding things from me?"

"I want to talk to Elijah now," Elena pushed.

I rolled my eyes "Fine. Come on." I lead her into the living room to the others "We have a guest. Try not to kill her."

Elijah sat up from where he was lounging in an armchair "Miss Gilbert," he greeted coldly, trading a look with his brother. Niklaus just leaned back, a small smirk on his face.

"Who are you?" the Doppelgänger questioned, looking from my older brother to Niklaus.

Gabe looked her over, looking bored "I'm Gabriel, Ray's older brother. That's Nik, one of Ray's little hunting buddies."

"'Hunting buddies'?" I parroted, glaring at my brother "Are you kidding me, Loki?"

"I love you too, Sama," my older brother cooed, ruffling my hair.

I hit his hand away and glared "Bite me, asshole."

"Why don't you ask your boyfriend to do that?" Gabriel pointed to Elijah.

I groaned and flopped onto the older Original's lap, burying my head in his neck "I hate you, Gabe. I really, really hate you sometimes."

Niklaus smirked at us "Do you always act like that?"

"They do," Elijah nodded, making me pinch his side in warning "What? It's true."

Elena cleared her throat in annoyance "The reason I came here… We have to work together, Elijah. I need your word."

The older Original raised his eyebrows "Your ability to make demands has long passed. It ended when a certain dagger found its way into Ray's stomach."

"No demands," she raised her hands "I'm offering you my help. And in return, I want yours."

"And why should I even consider this?"

Elena shrugged "The same reason that you haven't killed me. You need my help to kill Klaus. And I need you…" Her phone buzzed and she looked down at the screen, completely missing the muffled laughter that was coming from Niklaus, Gabriel and me. Elijah was shaking his head at us in exasperation, his lips twitching.

"Stefan," Elena murmured, pressing the phone to her ear "Yes, I'm fine… He's right here." She glanced up at Elijah "No, Stefan, Elijah and I need to talk alone… Elijah is a noble man, Stefan. He lives by a code of honour. I can trust him. He knows that I'd be incredibly stupid and betray him again…"

I coughed and rushed out the words "Suck-up."

"Well, Ray is here as well," the Doppelgänger pointed out "It's my decision. Please respect it and make sure that Damon doesn't do anything stupid. I'll be in touch." She hung up the phone and slipped it back into her pocket "He's here."

"Klaus is here?" Elijah blinked, acting surprised.

Elena nodded "He's taken over Alaric's body."

The older Original rolled his eyes with a sigh "Og course he has. One of his favourite tricks."

"Well, what are his other tricks?" she pushed "What is he going to do next? You're the only one who knows him."

"Yes, Elijah," Niklaus mocked "You're the only one who knows him."

His older brother sent an admonishing look his way. It was the same that Michael always used on Gabe, Luke and me after we pranked him. Gabriel had apparently thought the exact same thing because he shuddered "I feel like that's a universal look."

I nodded "Definitely," I agreed "It's kind of creepy."

"What are you two babbling about?" Niklaus frowned.

"That 'disapproving older brother' look Elijah has going on. Mickey looked at us the exact same way," Gabe pointed out.

I grabbed a hold of Elijah's dress shirt "It was your fault every time though. You're the prankster."

"And you helped," my older brother pointed out.

"That's because you're a terrible influence," I laughed.

Elijah let out a suffering sigh "Do I have to separate you two? Can't you stop bickering for ten minutes?"

"Nope," Gabriel and I chorused with equally wide grins.

"Okay, that's enough," he grumbled "Get out. All three of you… Now!"

Niklaus and Gabriel saluted "Yes, dad." I snorted at them and pressed a short, sweet kiss to the corner of Elijah's lips. I grabbed the two guys by their arms and dragged them to the kitchen with me.

"You don't really bicker that much, do you?" Niklaus questioned.

I shook my head with a sad smile "No. It's just… fun to just be normal sometimes."

Gabriel pulled me into an embrace "We'll never be normal, sis. You should have gotten used to that by now."

"How can I, Gabby? I haven't been home in millennia," I whispered "I just want to go home but I know that I can't. Not while they are still there."

"You really should tell me who they are. I could take care of them for you," my brother murmured into my hair.

I laughed tearfully "As much as I'd love to, I doubt Dad would be happy. And I think Luke and the others want to have a go as well."

"We'll be together again soon, Sama. I'm not sure how we'll manage but we're going to be a family again."

I pulled away a bit and looked up at my older brother "Who are you and what have you done with Gabriel?" I joked lightly before my expression dropped "I really hope you're right. My life is just picking up but… It's still so hard. Dean is dead, Sammy is off at Ellen's and Damon is apparently being a dick. I only have you and Elijah now."

Niklaus cleared his throat "You have me as well now, love. My brother really seems to like you. I doubt I'd be able to get rid of you anytime soon."

"Thank you, Niklaus," I smiled weakly.

"Nik," he corrected.

I bowed my head in recognition "Nik it is, then." I glanced over my shoulder to the living room "What are they talking about?"

"The fake curse," the Original responded an air of amusement around him.

"You're really proud of that one, aren't you?" I teased, leaning against my older brother comfortably, our invisible wings pressing together slightly.

Nik smirked "Of course. Some of my best work."

"What curse is that?" Gabriel questioned.

"The Sun and the Moon curse," I replied "It's a little fake curse that Nik and Elijah planted. Basically, it's the easiest way to discover the existence of a Doppelgänger. It says that if the werewolves break it, they wouldn't have to turn and if the vampires break it, they would be free to walk in the sun without burning."

Gabriel whistled "Having every single member of two warring species on the lookout. Clever."

"Glad you approve," Nik laughed, leaning against the counter "Do you mind?" He questioned, gesturing to the liquor cabinet.

I nodded "Knock yourself out. I mostly had it for Damon and now Elijah. Alcohol does nothing for us."

"Still fun to drink though," Gabe mumbled.

"True," I nodded, pouring some Bourbon into a glass to take out to Elijah "I'll be right back." Out in the living room, the older Original was telling the story of the fake curse. I sat down on the arm of the chair he was sitting on and handed him the alcohol, sliding onto his lap when he pulled me closer by the arm. I leaned back against his chest and slipped my eyes close.
