Hey, sorry for the late post. I was pretty bussy. This is a long chapter and apparently the last one of this crossover. I'll try something else tomorrow. Stay tune and enjoy this story.
Disclaimer: Still don't own anything :P
Mr Univers give them his location and sugest to come for a talk. But before they could get there, Zoe, River and Inara disaper.
~Firefly~
Everything was odd. Kaylee and the rest of remaining crew of Serenity moved fast to the location Mr. Univers gave them, searching for answers.
"Hey, there's a house!" Kaylee was now jumping up and down happy that this guy didn't lie and give them a fake location.
Jayne, Simon, Shepard and Wash rushed to the hungar door armed, fallowed by a conflicted Kaylee. "Why is everyone disappear? Why the captain? Why the girls? Is this guy gonna give us answers?"
She was thrown out of her thoughts by Jayne's yelling, demanding answers.
"I don't think he is going to talk with a gun in his face." Simon inform Jayne, but he almost fall when he realize that Jayne is wright.
"Who are you?" a small, chaby guy, dark hair and kinda cute was shocked. He has a robot that look very real, very creapy.
"Jayne, put it down. He is freaking out. And without him, I'm preaty sure finding the outhers will be problematic." Shepard made Jayne lower his gun.
"I'm Shepard Book, this are Kaylee, Simon, Wash and you meet Jayne. Inara give us this location and she told us you save Mal." Now, the kid look very confused.
"Where …. Whe….where is Inara?" he said keeping his eyes on Jayne and his gun.
"We hoped you will know. She, Zoe and River disappear just like Mal did." Shepard talked again, with the same patience.
Wash and Simon made Jayne lower his gun completely. "Sorry." Jayne said with a creapy smile on his lips.
"What do you meen by disappear?" he got his voice back.
"How many ways there are?" Jayne said exasperated.
"I'm Mr. Univers" he said running to a computer and start tapping something on the keyboard. A lot of images start showing on few screens.
~Somewhere unknown~
Inara woke up when someone hit her ribs. Was not a bad hit, but enough to woke her up. She moved and open her eyes. She was in a room, a dark room, filthy, and the windows where covered in some sort of paint. She look around to see who hit her and found River and Zoe, still asleep right next to her. River's legs where next to her ribs. She get up, investigate the place.
She heard a noise and turn. They where not alone. She jumped to Zoe, saw the gun in her holster and try to woke her. She knew that she is not as good as a shooter as Zoe is. Zoe stir and she open her eyes sleepy.
"Inara….what are you doing in my bunk?" Zoe still confused, tried to get the sleep away from her head. They heard that noise again, that made Zoe jumped. She took her gun out and go to the location of the noise. River woke up too.
"NOOOOOOO…." She screem out of the blue. That made Zoe and Inara jump.
River run to the direction of the noise and place herself betwin Zoe and whatever made the sound. Zoe lower her gun and River turn around and disappear for few moments. When she get up, she was holding a little dog in her hands. Zoe and Inara start laughing.
"Where are we?" Zoe ask as River let the dog down, Inara was now rubbing his nose.
"I don't know. But do you think we are safe?" she was worried, still rubbing the dog.
Zoe get to the windows and didn't recognize the surroundings. There was no one close.
"I guess is just us and this dog. We better find something to eat. And fast." She give the dog a surtain look and in that moment dog jumped and start barking.
The girls fallow him and they where lead outside the bilding, in some sort of diserted town.
Inara found a piece of paper and looked at it. She froze and start shaking. Zoe came to her side and look at the paper. It was a newspaper, something that she only heard in stories. Inara indicate the date and they both froze.
"It's imposible." Zoe bearly manage to speak.
River was still, looking puzzled at both women.
"Do you think is possible?" Inara voice was now a whisper.
"Mal disappear out of the blue. I'm pretty sure this is possible." Zoe was scared but she didn't want to show.
"Where are we?" River ask from nowhere.
"Not where, but when." Inara corrected her. "It's Earth that was. Somewhere in 2010." River was moveless.
~Castle~
There was about a year since the new guy, that look very similar like Castle show up out of nowhere. He has some insights that not even Castle can make. Like he is a crooch. He help them multiple times and that made Castle feel kinda hostile about him, because now captain Gates ask him to help.
He is a good guy, he help all of us with a lot of things. He talk to Laine for hours, so with Ryan. I can't put my finger on it, but it's something wrong about him. He said he is from other time, but this hall time travel thing looks crazy.
~After 1 year, in all 3 places~
~Inara, Zoe and River location~
It's been an year and all three of them try to survive and understand where they are.
River and Inara where asleep and Zoe was looking around the place. All diserted. She didn't understand. From the stories, the people who lived then, populated the entire planet. How come this place is diserted. Out of the sudden, the dog get back, really scared.
There was a lot of noise for inside the building. She take her gun out and move to woke the girls and get them to cover. They found a bit stone that give them enough cover. She saw some guys and hear a bullet that cross really close to her ear. She get to cover and start shooting.
About a minute later, something made the man to stop shooting. Next thing she saw where 2 men that come from both directions of the cover and hold theyr gun up.
"NYPD! PUT THE GUN DOWN!"
Few minutes later, all of them enter in a building where there where a lot of men and women dress in blue uniforms.
"ZOE?" A familiar voice ask confused. She turn and there he was.
~Castle~
This was a very borring day. Vice call and ask if they could bring some women that they think are connected to some killings that happen about 3 years ago. Beckett and Gates agreed and the three women where on their way to the 12th.
When the uniforms exit the elivater with the women, Mal was shocked.
"Zoe?" Mal almost scream. That made Beckett put her coffee on herself and Castle, Ryan and Espo to look very confused.
"Did you know them?" Beckett ask with same confusion as the rest.
"YESSS! They are part of my crew. Zoe, Inara and River. Where are the rest?" he talk fast, excited and confused in the same time. "Can I talk to them for few minutes?" he beg Beckett, he was almost in his knees.
The uniforms took the women to interrogation room. They put all of them in the same room. Kate look at Mal and his begging eyes and agree to give him few minutes.
As he live them to get into the interrogation room, Gates approach her.
~Kate perspective~
He look confused and happy that this women are here. I don't think they have something to do with this murders. Something tell me that all of them are here because of something else.
"Are you sure it's a good idea, detective?" Gates ask a little puzzled.
"Yes. I don't think they have something to do with the case. Plus, Mal knows them." She is still puzzled. We didn't tell her that he is from another time, about 500 years in the future and he is the captain of a ship that steal goods from a sort of police that is called "the Alliance".
She will send all of us to a check up and a possible trip to the looney bin.
"If they have some intel, we will hear from the observation room. But I think is better to give Malcom few minutes to reconnect to the women." I can belive that my voice is stable.
~Mal perspective~
Seing the girls is just a dream come true. He is sure, that they have nothing to do with the case the other team is working. But Beckett letting to talk to them alone… that is a better dream.
He open the door of the interrogation room and the first person how saw was Inara. She was on the chair and her head is in her hands. River jumped in his arms, when he enter the room.
"Captain." Zoe gread, like he only left few minutes.
"River is so nice to see you too." As he said that, River freed him and take a place next to the door.
"Zoe, it's so nice to see you." And he take her in a tight hug. As they let go, he turn to Inara. She was devastated. She look filthy and she didn't like anything that happen to her not even a bit.
He give her a tight hug, she did the same. Out of a sudden, he relies her just so he could watch in her eyes and plant a kiss on her lips.
~Firefly~
Mr. Univers kinda join the crew, he is tring to find the girls and Mal.
"I know where Mal is. I send him back in 2012, to keep him away from the Operative and Alliance. We need a hero that can made Alliance fear him, not a dead one." He confess to Kaylee, Wash and Shepard one night in the kitchen.
"And you are sure he is ok and in one piece?" Simon ask getting in the kitchen, fallow by Jayne.
"If I calculated correctly, he is fine and live a life safe from Alliance." Jayne's face change.
"If…? You have three days to located Zoe, Inara and River and to make sure that Mal is ok. If not… I'll break every bone in your body." Jayne was above angry.
Two days later, Mr. Univers manage to locate all four amprents, Mal's, Inara's, Zoe's and River's, somewhere in 2012. They sims to somehow find eachother.
Just then, Serenity receive a big hit. Wash jumped and bolt to command center to try and figure out what is going on.
The Alliance get them. Wash bolt back to kitchen and inform everyone that an Alliance ship just drag them.
As the soldiers where breaking the door, Mr. Univers made everyone time jump.
~Castle~
Kate drag Castle, Ryan and Espo to the observation room in search for aswers.
Looking at all 4 of them interact and the kiss Mal give to one of them, made the four of them flush.
Out of sudden, a bright light explode into interrogation room and as all of them manage to recover, Kate, Castle, Ryan and Espo, where surprise to see that 5 more people join the 4 existing ones in the interrogation room.
~Interogation room~
As the bright light faded, Mal realize that the cops are in the observation room. He look around to see what is going on. Inara was behind him and River behind Zoe. When the light faded completely, he saw Kaylee. Then Shepard, fallow by Simon and Jayne. And at the end a mistery man.
"What have you done?" Kaylee yell at the mistery man. "You bring us into their interrogation room? Good job." She was really mad.
"Kaylee?" a familiar voice that she didn't hear in a really long time made her turn. She saw his face. All of their faces. She bolted to his hands, stoped carring about anything else. She had no idea where they are, but they are togheter.
"You are safe kiddo" he manage to said to her as he hug her.
Excuse my writhing, i'm tired. hope you like it. Take care
