( And it can happen offscreen. He is fine, Donna. But, continue to pester David. )

You walk me into a firestorm and you're telling me to be careful. Getting mixed signals, Gainor.

( AND. )

Oh. Klaus Mikaelson. What percentage would I not want to be here when he comes to check on his sister who saved us all?

[maleficum]

How hurt is she and is he expecting you to be there?

[Because those are the relevant questions.]

[rehire]

Unconscious and unknown past that, and - I don't know. The way news travels here, I wouldn't be surprised. I know the basics. Don't make an enemy of the Original hybrid.

( And that's what he can work with. )

Look, I'll figure it out from here. You work on your contacts.

( Also click and he returns to Freya's side. )

[wildkingdom]

[Malia looks up when he returns and pulls her hand from Freya's arm.]

She's not in a lot of pain. She should be okay.

[So even if your mystery phone friend comes through with a magical assist, Freya should be able to continue business too. Not that she was listening or anything with those sneaky werecoyote ears.

But that's all well and good before Cami comes in and starts picking through the rubble, with a suited Original not far behind her. Malia raises an eyebrow.]

That's not Klaus.

[So just throw her advice out the window, good luck Harvey.]

I lied, if we're continuing Mickey et al, we should continue Malia et al, too!

[rehire]

Good.

( Less for her brother to lord over. Or, so he thinks. Because, (20), he knows Elijah Mikaelson. Elijah Mikaelson is infamous among vampires and members of the Strix, which is one of Harvey's clients. )

No, that's Elijah Mikaelson and last I checked, he was in Europe.

( Elijah waits for Cami to assess, but spots his sister and comes to his side.

"How is she?"

He only gives Harvey a passing glance. )

[bravebartender]

["She's unconscious, but not in pain. I think it's mostly magic burnout." Malia, you are not a witch. How would you know? "At least that's what Vincent said."

Cami nods, and does actually give Harvey the time of day, because she's an actual nice person.]

You must be Harvey Specter. Cami O'Connell. Marcel talks about Donna fondly.

[It's still true, Donna is remembered fondly everywhere.]

[uniquelyvulnerable]

( If Vincent says. He brings the back of his hand to her cheek, staying with her. )

How long has she been like this?

( Harvey gets up and lets Elijah take a hold of his sister's situation, rolling his sleeves back down.

"That's Donna. Her reputation isn't relegated to one zipcode." )

[deathlessness]

["Or one century for that matter," Cami smirks. "Marcel had some stories from the World's Fair in 1901? The girl had gumption."

Malia shrugs, because what is time when you're standing in a disaster zone. "Since the flames went out. But she's not in any pain so--"

Freya's hand starts to come up, reaching out and finding her brother's arm. She groans and it's not fully coming to, but hey at least it's a sign of life.]

[uniquelyvulnerable]

( "I haven't heard those," but then again, Donna's life has always been mysterious and her friends tight-knit. She only lets on what she wants people to know. You can bet he's going to ask about it.

Elijah's hand covers Freya's. )

Freya.

[deathlessness]

["You should get them out of her. It's good stuff."

Freya's eyes blink open, then she winces at the light. But she does know that voice, and she's relieved to hear it.]

Elijah. Welcome back.

[Then she remembers what happened and she jerks up, wincing as she does. Her eyes dart to Harvey and there's a moment of relief, before her eyes scan again and doesn't find the other.]

Scott?

["He's fine. He went with Aiden to try and find Davina." Malia offers her a smile. "They left me here. No idea why they thought that was a good idea."]

[uniquelyvulnerable]

( Harvey thinks the same, her bedside manner needs work. )

Davina, Hayley, and Josh were taken. Tamara Monroe picked up Hayley's phone. Our brother is seeing red. Are you weak?

[deathlessness]

[They don't keep Malia around for her charm. But she knows this and accepts this about herself.

Freya glances to her brother and shakes her head. Is she feeling her best? No, not really. But New Orleans has never waited for her best day before, and it isn't going to start now.

She offers a hand up to her brother to get him to help her up.]

I'll survive. Do we have any leads?

[uniquelyvulnerable]

( He braces her, standing them both up, but letting her drop in a chair nearby. )

I'd rather you thrive, but your survival is appreciated. You gave us quite the scare.

( Harvey moves closer.

"Aiden and - Scott - are on their way to get leads." )

None as of yet. Our brother wished for me to make sure you're alright. Niklaus was waylaid by a brainwashing gone wet.

[deathlessness]

[Freya nods, before her eyes fall on Malia, and then looks back at her brother.]

Was Hayley alone when she was taken?

[Malia's eyebrows go up, and then wide. But she waits for Elijah to answer before she gives her impulsive reaction.]

[uniquelyvulnerable]

Hayley was with another werewolf. Derek Hale.

( Elijah has not met Derek, but apparently he is more infamous (nat 20, really?) than the desert wolf's offspring, Malia (10). But, to justify this roll, Elijah has a great deal of knowledge and being versed in werewolf dynasties does do him good. Malia, however, was adopted and was only a recent revelation. Recent enough anyway. )

[deathlessness]

["Can he go FIVE MINUTES without getting kidnapped?!" Yep, that's there's the response that Malia was sitting on. With a huff, she pushes up from the floor and moves to the back. "I need to tell Allison. I'll be back."

Freya smirks as she watches her go, before turning back to her brother.]

This could be an advantage. Derek was likely a target of opportunity, not intention. Perhaps I can manage a locator spell for him and he can guide us to everyone else.

[uniquelyvulnerable]

( Everyone basically watches that dramatic dust-up and returns to the moment at hand.

"I'm also on the hook for another witch, should whoever is working with Monroe be more than even you can handle." It's not the most respectable thing Harvey could say, but they need to know. "I know magic and its' toll."

He "knows," anyway.

Elijah doesn't defend his sister, she can definitely do that herself. )

Derek is one angle. Josh and Aiden are working Davina's and once Klaus and Bela are finished, we should have a mole returned. Perhaps, two. Bela wasn't confident in William's choice of undercover agent.

[deathlessness]

[She raises an eyebrow at that, but doesn't comment either way on her magical capability.]

Witches are stronger together. And I'm sure the French Quarter witches will be highly invested in getting their regent back. The more the merrier.

[She's not saying no to the help, thank you Harvey.]

We should also secure the bayou. Check on the status of the wolves.

[wildkingdom]

[And then, once she gets outside, she sends one very brief text to the Beacon Hills group chat (Allison, Scott, Jackson, Lydia, Stiles, Cora, Derek, Isaac). Also possibly to Peter, but she'll do that one on the side, same message:]

Derek got kidnapped again.

1/?

[matriarchate]

You say that like he meant to. Did it just happen?

[phonetically]

She has a point. It happens a lot.

[commend]

Stiles.
Derek was taken, but so were the other faction leaders and Davina. And Freya Mikaelson almost exploded from a bomb.

( He also almost exploded, let's not talk about it. )

DONE.

[illtempered]

Not surprised.
Where?

( with nudging from Alexander )

Also, are you and Malia okay

1/3

[wildkingdom]

I'm fine, I was outside. Freya put herself in a mini magic coma trying to limit the collateral damage, but she's awake now. The suit original is here, so I'm assuming people are going to start dying soon when we figure out where to point them.

[Thank you, Malia. Though it will be not thank you in a second.]

Scott's with Aiden so I'm assuming he's feeling better from getting impaled.

[beanchaointe]

Do you need us down there?
