Chapter 26, Complications

Ichabod and Arthur stared each other down as silence took over the place. The woman and William looked at each other in disbelief before laughing a bit. Arthur cracked a smile and patted Ichabod's back.

"Mr. Ichabod Crane, you look the same as a few hundred years ago. Not bad for an old man," commented England. Ichabod raised an eyebrow,

"Oh? You as well, Earl Arthur Kirkland, not bad indeed. For a great great grandfather".

William chuckled and joined the exchange, "Ah, so the sass has returned to you, Lord Crane. Very glad to hear m'lord".

"Indeed sir, it is very relieving to find that your sass has returned to you," added Aki.

"It certainly wouldn't do to have the legendary Ichabod Crane, to be in the 21st century, without his breath taking...sass," claimed Trick dramatically. Silence resumed, only to be consumed by laughter.

"Sass...returning...breath taking sass..GOD TRICK THAT WAS GOOD!," gasped Will. On the floor, and unable to breath correctly at the moment.

"Bloody...fucking...hell, you don't hear that all day," wheezed Arthur. Red staining his cheeks as he got himself up again.

"Bull fucking shit, you don't hear that any day," said Aki.

"Well, Earl Kirkland, Lord Kirkland. Step this way if you please," said Ichabod. Who was able to recover from the laughter the quickest. The three nodded and proceeded to follow the Ichabod Crane. Ichabod wore an old victorian waist coat alone with a brown trench coat that matched his eyes and hair. His eyes were hazel, and his hair was brown shoulder-length and pulled back into a pony tail. The rest didn't really know what to do so they opted to just keep following.

"So tell me Ichabod, how does ye fair well in the 21st century?" asked William curiously. Ichabod shrugged,

"I am getting used to it, but some of these machines are quite alarming".

"Like the coffee maker?" Aki said, a white eyebrow shooting up. Arthur looked at Ichabod in disbelief,

"Out of all the things to have trouble with, computers, smart telephones, television. What your having trouble with is the BLOODY COFFEE MAKER?!"

William patted his shoulder, "Don't blame the poor man, besides. He's used to tea in the first place. But, tell me Ichabod, what's the situation here in Sleepy Hallow?"

"Well, the Hessians are back, that is for sure. There's one in Tom's basement to prove it, captured and at the moment, helpless".

"Tom?" asked America.

"Tom, as in Thomas Edison Alfred. We knew him back then, his mother was a hunter that specialized in getting rid of witches and demons of the like. From his mother, he built a basement that was meant for two things. A: To use as a safe house from the supernatural. Or B: To keep something powerful locked inside the basement. It could go either way. It's why we had disguised our selves as rebel British forces for a short time, the Assassin's Creed: Revelations of yours isn't entirely fiction. However, we were only there to over see the building, not help you. That would have been insubordination, but we had bigger problems to deal with during the American Revolution," William said.

"Huh, didn't know that," said Alfred, pushing up his glasses. William shrugged,

"There happens to be lots of thing you don't know lad, I just happened to have enough free time to go out and search for stuff".

"Now, if your done stating stuff Lord of Fun Facts, let's go see us a headless horseman," said Arthur rolling his eyes. William pouted,

"It isn't my fault the boy wants to know, he's curious. We raised him that way, it's just in his nature. I mean, look how many elements we put on the periodic table".

"Wait dude, how many did you guys put?" asked Alfred.

"Around 22 give or take, not sure," Trick piped up. William pointed at her,

"What she said".

"If you two are done, I think it's time to take the stairs down," said Aki, already starting to step down alone with Ichabod, England, and the other countries.

"William-san, Aki-san, would it be alright if we had tea together sometimes? I believe I will get many game ideas for you two".

Aki shrugged, "Technically, I already have. I'm the one who had told Satoshi Tajiri about elemental animals being held in red and white balls and battling each other for fun. Drunk day, or was it night? That was".

Alfred stopped and yelled, "Wait a minute, did you just say you are the maker of freaking Pokemon?!"

"It was a drunk day (or night) but hey, I mearly just suggested it anyway, so I didn't make it," defended Aki.

"Dude, do you realize what you just did? You made history!"

"Hey, don't get up all in my face! Freaking Steve Jobs, may he rest in peace, started apple in a garage! A lot of things can happen!".

"But Aki-san, you made history!" argued Japan. Because it's Pokemon, it's his business to know about it.

"But you both freaking say it like I'm the one who did it. You want inspiration? All of James Bond's or also known as 007 was based on Arthur's tales of escapades! Plus, it's M.I.6, you can't expect that not to happen".

"What does MI6 mean anyway?"

"Military. Intelligence. Section 6, why?" asked William in the background.

"Just wonderin".

"You can at least use the full word Alfred".

"Fine, just wondering happy?"

"Hm, yes quite".

"Yeah, to shit Sherlock".

"Fuck you too Watson".

"Wait what?"

"I practically invented that insult you insolent child, one does not simply invent an insult and then not make a backhand for it. Learn from the master".

"Yeah?! Well your a pussy!"

"Pussy is short for the word pusillanimous it means timid or cowardly, when your insulting someone. At least use the right terms you young idiot".

"Someone tell me how it got to this".

"Arthur, what is 'Pokemon'?"

"Oh dear, you do have a lot to learn".

A/n: Oh dear, I deeply apologize for skipping this week, I was busy with school and practicing plus studying since there was that Science exam that following week. I apologize, and I got this out of my brain as quickly as I could so tada! To be honest, I had this done at 2 in the morning, but my Mum caught me and made me go to sleep. So here ye go folks! Some of this is purely fictional, except for the 'pussy' part. I found that while scrolling in facebook. The more you know. I own nothing except William and Aki, Trick belongs to herself, and the nice lad named Ichabod is owned by his rightful owner. As in the guy who made the legend of Sleepy Hallow. So, review please, follow and/or fav if you haven't done so. Good day/night! And once again, I apologize for not updating sooner.
