PRESENT DAY -- NEW ORLEANS

⚜️⚜️

- Third POV -

Early morning at 5:00 AM, at ROUSSEAU'S, Nora Northman sits at the bar counter with her half-empty glass of red wine and a bowl of gumbo.

From behind the bar, Declan walks up to her. "Would you like a refill?"

"Yes, of course." Nora said with a small smile.

Declan gently takes a bottle of red wine and pours some more wine into Nora's wine glass.

"How's the gumbo?" Declan asked.

"It's very good." Nora said, taking a small forkful bite of her gumbo.

"Haven't seen you around before. Are you new to New Orleans?" Declan asked.

"It's quite obvious, isn't it?" Nora said.

"Yeah, it is." Declan said.

"Then, yes, I'm new to New Orleans." Nora said.

"Alright then, I'll leave you to your gumbo and wine." Declan said and walks away.

Nora continues eating her gumbo and takes sips of her red wine.

INDUSTRIAL STUDIO LOFT

Nora gently walks into the main room and slowly walks up to the window and looks outside of it.

A slight whoosh is next to her. Her husband, Eric Northman.

"The Mikaelsons does not know that we are here." Nora said.

"Good. Let's keep it that way for now." Eric said.

Eric and Nora exchange looks at each other and they both gaze out of the window together.

LATER THAT DAY . . .

At the MIKAELSON COMPOUND, Luna and Trinity walks down the stairs and into the courtyard wearing their backpacks on their shoulders.

"Dad?" Luna said, looking around the courtyard.

"Dad?" Trinity said.

Klaus slowly walks up to the second floor balcony railing. "What is it?"

"We're just letting you know that we're gonna go hangout with Amy and Jessica." Luna said.

"Okay, then." Klaus said.

And Luna and Trinity walks away.

Klaus walks back to his room and pours himself a bourbon. He looks at two picture frames.

A picture frame of himself and Christy small smiles.

And another picture frame of himself, Christy, Luna and Trinity small smiles on the main deck of Captain Benji's small yacht.

Klaus small smiles to himself and continues to paint on his canvas.

Luna looks at a portrait of her mother, Christy and Bassea, wearing their golden battle armors and swords, standing next to each other with the plague, CHRISTIANA AND BASSEA, below it.

Triotcus, in his mechanical wheelchair form, slowly drives up next to her.

"Your mother and Bassea have a strong bond between them." Triotcus said. "They fought in battle together."

"My Mom helped Bassea. That's the kind of person that my Mom is." Luna said.

"Your mother has taken her leadership position." Triotcus tells Luna.

Luna looks at Triotcus, surprised. "She has?"

Triotcus looks at her. "She has."

Luna smiles, happily. "My Mom is the best."

"That she is." said Triotcus.

Triotcus and Luna both looks at the portrait.

HOME ISLAND OF MOUNT ORASANI -- HAGARTH'S TAVERN

Christy sits at the bar counter on her laptop with her to-go coffee cup of Meiji coffee.

{Christy Outfit}

She hears Tomar and his bandit gang enters the tavern and sits at a bench table.

"Hey, big fella." Tomar said to Hagarth.

Hagarth looks at Tomar.

"Are you gonna get our orders or what?" Tomar asked.

And Christy turns around in her bar stool and looks at Tomar.

"How about you show Hagarth some respect and leave him alone." Christy told Tomar.

Tomar and Christy exchange tense looks at each other.

"And if I don't leave him alone?" Tomar asked, getting up to his feet. "What are you gonna do, Christiana?"

"Not me." Christy said and looks pass him. "Her."

Tomar looks behind him. Bassea is there.

Tomar just laughs. "Oh, really? Bassea? It's been a long while, how've you been?"

"I've been better." Bassea said. "And you haven't changed at all, you're still the same dirty mean asshole."

"I've heard about your successfulness." Tomar said and slowly walks up to Bassea. "Don't you miss it? My bandit gang?"

"Not at all." Bassea tells him. "I've changed, Tomar."

"Yeah, I know. You were nothing but a pathetic weakling who Christiana took pity on." Tomar said.

And Bassea punches Tomar in his face, knocking him into his bandit gang.

Tomar touches his bleeding nose with his hand, shocked, that Bassea actually hit him.

"Not anymore." Bassea said.

An infuriated Tomar lunges at Bassea and she does a roundhouse kick to his face, knocking him out onto a bench table with him smashing into it.

The four bandits gets up, but Christy intervenes by using her magical weaponry The Manriki.

The customers gets up from their bench tables and backs away, not wanting to get hit or get in the way.

Christy and Bassea exchange small smiles at each other, taking off their leather jackets.

Christy fights the four bandits with her magical weaponry The Manriki.

She swiftly punches Bandit Man 1, does a roundhouse kick to Bandit Woman 2, kicks Bandit Man 3 in his groin and swift punches Bandit Woman 4 in her face.

The four bandits lays on the floor, hurt.

Christy looks at Bassea, but doesn't interfere, knowing her former protege can handle herself.

Bassea handles Tomar, who wields a blade in his hand.

Bassea gently spins her Manriki in her hand as she and Tomar circles each other.

Bassea pokes her tongue out at Tomar, which angers him.

Tomar lunges at Bassea, and she uses her Manriki to wrap it around his neck.

She punches him in his face four times and unwraps her manriki from Tomar and does a roundhouse kick to Tomar's face, making him fall into a nearby garbage can, getting trash over him.

Christy and Bassea exchange looks at each other. They both gets their jackets.

"Gràcies." ( "Thank you." ) Hagarth thanked both Christy and Bassea in the Orasanian language.

"De benvinguda, Hagarth." ( "You're welcome, Hagarth." ) Bassea said to him.

Christy and Bassea walks away as the Orasanian Guardsmen escorts Tomar and his bandit gang out of the tavern.

VEK'S AND BASSEA'S DOME APARTMENT

Later that afternoon, Christy and Bassea enters the dome apartment and Christy closes the door.

A three-year old Arian sits at the living room table, drawing on drawing paper with her crayons.

Arian looks at her mother, Bassea, and her Auntie Christy. "Mommy! Auntie CC!"

"Hey, Arian." Christy greeted her.

Arian gets up and scurries up to Christy and she picks her up in her arms.

Christy pecks kisses on Arian's cheeks. "Look at you, you've gotten so big."

Arian giggles as Christy continues to peck kisses on her cheeks.

Vek slowly walks inside the living room. "Hi, Christiana. Hi, B."

"Hey, Honey." Bassea greeted her husband.

Vek and Bassea shares a kiss.

"Are you gonna stay for dinner, Christiana?" Bassea asked.

"Yeah, sure." Christy said.

"Yay, Auntie CC is staying." Arian said with a smile.

Vek, Bassea and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

⚜️⚜️

Minutes later, Christy, Vek and Bassea had finished eating their plates of food.

"So, how's your leadership, Christiana?" Vek asked, sitting on the carpet floor with Arian, drawing.

"It's good. I have to meet with the Imperial leaders." Christy said.

"You'll be a good leader." Bassea said, washing the dishes.

"By the way, B, you kicked butt with Tomar and his bandit gang." Christy said.

Vek and Bassea exchange chuckles with each other.

"I'm sure that Tomar won't bother you anymore now." Vek said.

"Yeah, he didn't expect me to do that, but I surprised him though." Bassea said.

"Well, I'm glad you bold up to him. I taught you well, Bassea." Christy said.

"Yeah." Bassea said.

Arian yawns to herself, which Christy noticed.

"Someone's sleepy." Christy said.

"I'm gonna put Arian in her room." Vek said, getting up to his feet. And gently picks up his daughter in his arms. "Say "goodnight" to Auntie CC."

"Night-night, Auntie CC." Arian said with a small wave.

"Goodnight, Arian." Christy said with a small wave.

And Vek walks away with Arian, heading to her room.

"How's Luna and Trinity?" Bassea asked, sitting at the kitchen table.

"They're good." Christy replied to Bassea.

"You know, they offered to babysit Arian." Bassea said.

"Luna and Trinity would be good babysitters." Christy said.

After Vek puts Arian to bed in her room, he closes the door and slowly walks back inside the living room and sits back down at the kitchen table.

"I'm gonna need you both to bring your A-game." Christy said.

"We will." Vek said.

"Okay." Christy said.

TOWN SQUARE -- VENDORS MARKET

Later that evening, Christy wanders around, wearing her backpack on her shoulder.

She visits Koah's vendor market.

"Hi, Koah." Christy greeted him with a small smile.

"Hello, Christiana." Koah greeted her back with a small smile.

"Do you have anything good?" Christy asked.

"Sure, do, take your pick." Koah said.

"Okay, how about coffee bites? And truffles?" Christy asked.

"Alright." Koah said, getting a plastic container box of coffee bites and another plastic container box of milk chocolate truffles. "That'll be $200 euros."

"$200 euros? Geez, Koah." Christy said, taking out her wallet and takes out a $200 and gives to Koah.

"I know, but it makes good business." Koah said, gently taking the $200 euro from her.

Christy takes the plastic container boxes of coffee bites and milk chocolate truffles and puts it in her backpack.

"See you around, Koah." Christy said.

"You as well." Koah said.

Christy chuckles softly and walks away and looks at Agatha.

"Agatha?" Christy said.

Agatha looks at Christy and small smiles. "Hello, Deary."

"Do you want me to take you home?" Christy asked.

"Sure." Agatha replied, closing her vendor.

Christy and Agatha walks away, heading to the dome apartments.

That night, Christy slowly walks inside the main living room. She sees her mother, The Elder Goddess, Nadia, in the middle of the main room floor, doing some taijiquan.

"Looking good, Mom." Christy complimented her mother with a small smile.

Nadia chuckled softly to herself. "How was your day, Christiana?"

"It was good." Christy said, walking over to the table and sets down her backpack.

"Heard about the fight at Hagarth's Tavern today." Nadia mentioned.

"No one was hurt, Mom. Just Tomar and his bandit gang were bothering Hagarth." said Christy.

Nadia ceases her taijiquan and looks at her daughter. "And I assumed that you put an end to it?"

"Not really. Me and Bassea handled Tomar." Christy said.

Nadia small smiles to herself.

Christy takes out two plastic container boxes. One of coffee bites and another with milk chocolate truffles.

"How about a sweet snack?" Christy asked her Mom with a small smile.

"You sure have a sweet tooth whenever it comes to sweet treats." Nadia said, eating a coffee bite.

"I know." Christy said, eating herself a coffee bite and a truffle. "Where's Dad?"

"In the palace courtyard." Nadia said. "I request your presence in the meeting with the Imperial leaders in the conference room tomorrow morning. Captain Christiana."

Nadia and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.
