Cerulean [Hannibal] ✓

brother, mine.

"I need you to do me a favour, friend of mine."

Saturn had expected a lot.. but never those words. "What can I do for you, my friend?", she asks, looking over to where her son and daughter are playing in her office. "Meet me at 221B Bakerstreet in precisely 27 minutes. Bring the children if you wish. There is someone who'll take care of them.." "I'm guessing the car that just parked outside the house is sent by you then.." "You've guessed right. I'll see you in.. 26 minutes." She hangs up, leaving her voicemail on for anyone who'd call her, scoops up her two children and hurries downstairs, putting them in their clothes and shoes, doing the same for herself. "Where are we going, Mommy?" "Uncle Mycroft sent a car to pick us up. We're going to meet up with him.", she smiles and both her children, that had become quite fond of the man who'd sneak them some sweets every time he'd come over, pretending he didn't know that she'd notice him do so every time.
The car drives and she relaxes into the seat, counting the seconds in the back of her head while brushing over her childrens hair with adoration.

42 seconds.. She quickly lifts up both her children, running past the opening door and the shouting older woman up to flat B to which the door opens for her and she hurries past Mycrofts guard, giving him a small nod of appreciation before hurrying through the room to the awaiting man, ignoring the two men staring at her in disbelief. "I'm exactly on time." The man nods, impressed. "Perfectly on time, in fact." "Uncle Mike!" Cassiopeia and Janus squirm until Saturn places them down so that they can bother the man, who casually sneaks them candies that he pulls out of his jacket while she shakes her head with amusement. "What can I do for you, my friend?", she asks. "You are a biochemist specialising in genetic manipulation through radiation, amongst others, correct?" The eyes of the men there fly towards her and she nods. "I have a doctorate in biochemics and medicine.. yes.", she says slowly. "Good." "You're going through a hard divorce. You still love him. You left the states to help with the emotional distress.." Saturn hums. "My divorce has been finalised a few hours after I landed here. I don't love that.. creature. And I left the States because I wanted my children to grow up safe and away from the horror their father has created.", Saturn says, her dark eyes staring directly into the blue eyes of the dark locked man looking at her with fascination. "He used you, didn't he..?" "Mycroft?" The man quickly carries off her children. "Let's see if the housekeeper here has a couple of biscuits and tea for you.", he hums and they cheer. Saturn only turns back to the inquisitive man once they are out of the door. "My husband was an actual psychopath, mass murderer and cannibal who has been imprisoned for his crimes that I knew nothing about, despite them happening right under my nose.. in our own damn house, where our children were. Down in a secret basement he kept a living man, a psychopath maybe but still a human being, trapped, amputating parts of him and turning them into gourmet dishes that he wouldn't even hesitate to eat in front of us since he knew that neither I nor our children would ever go near meat, due to a genetic mutation making us unable to digest it. He used me as a living alibi. And I was stupid enough to fight anyone ever accusing him of doing something wrong.", she says, sitting down across from him. "He was a doctor as well, hu? That's how you met him." "Psychiatrist and Ex Emergency surgeon. Yes. But he also worked partially with the FBI on the very cases he created or using the information he'd gather to recreate the way the other killers would murder their victims as a way to kill without it being detected and keeping his.. fridge and stomach full." "Hannibal Lecter." She nods slightly. "That makes you Dr. Dr. Saturn Atlas." She nods again." "How do you know my brother?" "I was invited to visit a research facility here in England.. and he was there as well.. introduced himself.. and we became friends and kept in contact for the entire time since then. And heavens am I glad he couldn't make time to come to my wedding. Or Lecter would have a rather easy way to guess where I've gone after all went down. Are you done questioning me now? I don't fancy leaving my children with Mycroft longer than necessary. He'll sneak them more candy and I don't want them to get cavities..", Saturn says and he nods. She moves towards the door. "Mycroft! He said he's done with his whatever this was!" She can hear scrambling and moments later her children, followed by her close friend walk up the stairs and give her innocent grins, although their faces are covered in crumbs from undoubtedly sweet cookies and biscuits. She shakes her head at them with a smile. "You're a bad, bad influence on my children, my friend. Be happy that I like you too much to make your life hell.", she says to the man who cracks a smile. "Perhaps you shouldn't leave them with me then.." Immediately reacting the two cling to him. "Mommy no!" Saturn chuckles at the mans rather triumphant smile. "Alright. You've won. But this means that there won't be a desert for today." They pout but relent. "Well.. tell me. What can I do for my childrens favourite uncle..?", she asks.
