Prompt: "Well, somebody's got to do it and I really want it to be me."

"She said key!" Ra furrowed her brow as she looked up from where she sat on the main table in the workroom of the Annex. Flynn was animatedly coming down the stairs as he spoke. 'She called Excalibur a key. She didn't say sword or weapon, she said key!"

Ra's eyes widened as she felt the confused stares of the other people int eh room. "Of course! Think about it. You're the Serpent Brotherhood. If you want to bring magic back into the world, how are you going to do that with just one sword?"

Baird shrugged as she stopped at the bottom of the stairs. "Excalibur is pretty powerful."

Stone, who was now leaning back against the table next to Ra, shrugged as well. "It's still just a sword. I mean, Excalibur against a tank? An F-15? I'm betting on the military. And what were you just doing, Ms. York?"

The Archivist wrinkled her nose at him as she hopped off of the table. "First, it's Ra, not Ms. York. Secondly, if you're referring to me finishing Flynn's thoughts, I have worked with the man for five years or so. If somebody's going to translate for him, it had better be me."

Flynn spoke again before Stone could formulate a new thought. "Anyway, it's not an end goal. It's a key. Now, what does a key do, Jones?"

"Goes in a lock."

"Exactly. And we all remember the legend. Excalibur was locked in once before and had to be pulled free."

Baird's confusion was palpable. "You must be feeling better. You're not making any sense."

Ra rolled her eyes and put one hand on her forehead before she responded. "The stone. Arthur pulled Excalibur from the stone after it had been charged with magic. And where do you think that stone is?"

Stone scoffed before speaking up. "If Arthur was Roman, it'd be at the biggest empire settlement in Britain. Londinium or modern London."

The Archivist shared a nod with the Librarian before the latter threw the globe that showed the ley lines into the air. "Look, there's a big ley line running right underneath it. Come on. Let's go get that stone."

Ra was smiling as Jones's eyes widened. "Whoa. Us too?"

Flynn sighed before sharing another look with Ra. "Well, they've got the most powerful weapon in the world. Judson's gone. Charlene's gone. The Library's gone. I'm bleeding to death. So, yeah, working alone doesn't seem like the best idea right now."

Jenkins huffed from behind them. "Good, you're leaving. I can get back to my work."

The Librarian smiled wryly as he walked backwards out of the room. "Jenkins, book us tickets to London. I'd do it myself, but I'm dying."

Ra rolled her eyes before quickly following, calling to the man as she did so. "Don't worry about it, Jenkins. I already got the tickets. We were bound to go there at some point."

"Stay safe, Ms. York."

"For the last time, it's Ra!"
