requests } { because these actually do help me sometimes

[iluvroadrunner6]

The rules are simple. I have a calendar of sorts. Each day has a word. A 100-200 word drabble will be written for that word on that day. If you would like to claim a specific pairing or combo for that particular word, feel free to comment below and tell me, and I will add it to my list.

Given how little I've actually written this year, I'm hoping to actually get this done. We'll see what happens, but these are set for September 2013.

They don't have to be characters I actively write for, they can just be for anything in fandoms you know I know. I will note all claimed prompts in this general area, I'm just too lazy to make a set up right now. GO! Prompt! Win!

Unlike most people, transgenics don’t really have problems with the dark. Their night vision is excellent and even if someone did make the mistake of trying to come at him, it wouldn’t be a mistake that they’d be making for long.

That being said, ever since he got dropped in on Mystic Falls he’s been making more of an effort to be indoors after dark. Not because he was scared of vampires or hybrids, but mostly because he’s scared of being exposed. It’s ten years before the first transgenics made it onto the scene in Seattle, and while he knows that ten years is a long time with a lot of fear to back it up, he’s not pushing his luck. He needs to be normal and normal people don’t wander the streets of Mystic Falls after dark.

(He also doesn’t want to be mistaken for a vampire, either. Apparently the town council really frowns on that sort of thing.)

Still, there are times when it’s unavoidable. Like when Caroline throws a party or he gets bored at home or he really just doesn’t give a shit about getting caught. It’s the last one that can really get him into trouble, because dancing the line between getting caught and getting away with it can be fun, and he dances it a lot better than most.

In the end, however, he still manages to get caught.

(Somewhere, out there, Max has a strong urge to shout out “I told you so” and she’s not entirely sure why.)

“What are you?”

The look on the sheriff’s face is calm and stern, very much the image of someone who does not wish to be trifled with. Alec can understand that in a lot of ways, but right now he’s just wishing that the jailhouse lights weren’t so bright. They were only serving to exacerbate the blow to the head he probably took in the fight.

“They were hybrids.”

“I don’t care what they were. I asked about you.”

“Seriously? I’m landing in jail for beating up hybrids?”

“You have no identification. No birth certificate, no passport, no record of you even existing anywhere, so I would really focus on worrying about you and not the people you were in a fight with.”

Alec huffs slightly at that before tipping his head back and forth. “I fell through a hole.”

Sheriff Forbes pauses for a moment before blinking. “What?”

“Near as I can figure, anyway. My quantum mechanics was never really the greatest but there are fringe theories out there that occasionally holes pop up between universes and sometimes when that happens, people sort of … fall through them.”

She blinks again. “Are you drunk?”

“Probably not as much as he’d like to be.” Alec’s head snaps in the direction of Damon’s voice and his shoulders sag a bit in relief. Good thing his phone call didn’t go to waste. “Did you get to the part where he’s a genetically engineered killing machine yet?”

Then, just like that, he’s markedly less thrilled. “Dude!”

“Liz can keep a secret. She’s keeping mine after all.” Alec rolls his eyes and Liz glances between them for a moment like she can’t believe what she’s hearing.

“You’re serious, aren’t you?”

“I’m always serious,” Damon sighs. “A shame that no one ever manages to see it that way.”

“Damon.”

“Yes, I’m serious. About falling through a ‘hole’ or whatever the case may be, and about what he is. We’re … still trying to figure the rest out.”

The sheriff rubs the back of her neck as she thinks this over, trying to figure out what exactly to do with all of this. It’s not exactly normal police procedure and Alec knows it. Then she finally relents. “You’re not a vampire.”

“Definitely not.”

“Or a werewolf.”

“I have feline DNA, actually.”

There’s a beat and the look on her face tells him how much she didn’t want to know that information. She, unfortunately, is the one who asked. All the same, after that moment, she moves on. “Did the hybrids pick the fight with you or the other way around?”

“Definitely them.” That answer might be a little subjective (and by a little he means a lot considering what they did to pick the fight was ‘be in the vicinity of Elena’), but he’s willing to put his chips on the sheriff ruling in his favor on this one.

Which she did.

She reaches to her belt to grab her keys and moves to unlock the cell door. “Try to stay out of trouble? I’m not sure I can bail you out the same way twice.”

“You got it,” he replies as he bounds to his feet. He can’t wait to get out and crash in his own bed. Jail bunks are lumpy. Once they’re both out the door, Damon’s hand comes up and smacks him upside the head in the location that has the benefit of being where one of the bigger hybrids hit him. “Ow.”

“You really need to stop picking fights with supernatural beings.” Damon raises his eyebrows. “I’m starting to think you have a death wish.” Alec shoots him a dirty look and Damon rolls his eyes. “Tell me you at least won?”

At that, Alec only smirks. “What do you think?”
