"Hello old friend. Is there a problem?" Helen greeted the video call, from the Big Guy, on her monitor.

"Ah. There is a minor fault in the system. Well I think it is a small one. Ah. I need him to fix it before it takes out major systems," the Big Guy said gruffly in reply.

"I'll send Henry and Kate over as soon as possible. I'll be back later once I've sorted this minor problem. Will won't be back for a while. Kate and Henry will fill you in on the details."

"Ah. Should I meet them at the airport?"

"Yes, it will ideal. I'll send them on the next available flight and I will send you the details."

Helen ended the call and picked up her radio. "Kate. Henry. I need you to pack your bags and be ready to get on the next available flight to Old City."

"But Doc, you said we could have free time!" Henry whined.

"Henry, quit complaining. The Old City has better games if you don't wreak them," Kate said back down the radio to get Henry to shut up.

"Fine. We'll be ready to go ASAP."


Elizabeth was curled up in the library reading when she heard a loud crash. She walked over to the door and poked her head around it to see Will lying face down on the floor.

"Kate. Next time don't leave your bag in the middle of the corridor." Will's words were slightly muffled as he was still on the floor.

"Well look were you're going next time Will!" Kate said defensively.

"Just take your bag and go and wait by the car. I'm sure Henry won't mind you waiting for him there." Will yelled as he walked towards Elizabeth.

"What was that all about?" She asked.

"I was coming to see how you were doing and Kate had left her bag in the middle of the corridor, so I tripped over it."

"Why have they got their bags?"

"Their needed at a different Sanctuary but we probably see them again quite soon."

"Oh, where?"

"Canada."

"Where do you guys come from."

"I come from Canada; Helen and Declan come from Britain but Helen moved to Canada a little while ago; Kate comes from America; and I'm not sure where Henry comes from, he never talks about his past. Don't tell him I said that."

"Any way I'm glad your here. This book I'm reading talks about a war. A large one that involved a lot of countries by the sound of it. Could you explain it please."

"I'll go and have a look for something. If I recall there is a fact file around here somewhere. For now you could read a different book."

It was now becoming obvious that Elizabeth needed to know about what happened when she was in stasis. He'd have to go and find Magnus on this one.

This was going to be a long day for him.


AN - This is probably one of my shorter chapters so I might be able to post the next chapter quicker than I have been posting before. Also I am sorry for not posting in ages (life is chaos).
