Niklaus Mikaelson makes no sudden movements as he sits up. The original hybrid had just woken up after two days of being free of his curse. Now, he feels as if he was dropped from the ceiling into a pitch black room without any knowledge of what the hell is going on. He was having such a good day too.

Right as he was making his way back to his own two feet, Klaus heard what sounded like grunts of pain alongside yelps of terror due to the ever present blackness that engulfed the room that they were all now trapped in. Klaus was about to make himself known, by yelling out to whoever decided they could kidnap the original hybrid, when the lights finally in the, now that they could see it, large theater-like room.

When he looked around at all of the occupants he was more than displeased. The first unfortunate face he saw was none other than the doppelgänger. He could barely hold in a groan of disgust when he realized that with the always annoying doppelgänger came her rag-tag group of friends/lovers a certain someone in his life had dubbed "The Scooby Doo Gang." However, what made him freeze in his place was something he definitely wasn't expecting. Across the room were the rest of the Original family. All undaggered. All awake. He took this all in as quickly as he could without completely losing his mind. Luck was not on his side this time and from one second to the next Niklaus Mikaelson had three of his siblings either holding him against a wall, threatening him with death, or in Finn's case, just staring at him blankly not saying a word.

"So, what year is it now brother?" Kol Mikaelson, the one dubbed as the "psychotic" original was the first to speak in the room full of supernaturals. He was also the one currently holding Klaus against the wall.

Before Klaus could respond his only sister spoke up first, "Yes, I believe all of us would like to know that piece of information Nik." She snarled at her older brother.

As Klaus was going to answer he was once again interrupted. However, this time it was his older brother Elijah ever trying to play peacemaker between his siblings. "Rebekah, Kol, Finn." He addressed each sibling individually before continuing, "I believe all questions will be answered once we figure out what we are all doing here." As he finished his statement he turned and gestured to everyone else in the room who had remained quiet until now.

"This isn't over." Kol growled out before roughly letting go of his older brother and taking several steps away as if to try and cool his temper.

Klaus, now that his family was placated for the time being, looked around the room once more. Upon his inspection he saw someone who he had tried to keep hidden from the Mystic Falls residents for as long as possible. Leaning against a far wall analyzing everything within the room and its occupants was none other than Åse Mikaelson. Known around the supernatural world as "Gravedigger," but better known to Klaus as his wife.

The two of them had now made eye contact and almost instantaneously Klaus walked away from his family and to where his wife was standing. He made the move to hug her since he hadn't directly seen his wife in what felt like an eternity. This plan ended up falling through though because she reached out via mind link and spoke to him instead.

"As much as I would love to hug you Nik, it would raise unwanted suspicion. It would probably be best if we just look like good friends until we figure out what the hell is going on around here." Åse "spoke" with authority, yet there was a well hidden softness that she only allowed to seep through because of who she was speaking to. Klaus nodded almost imperceptibly so that no one but Åse could tell the action even happened.

It was at this time that the married couple turned around to see everyone in the room glancing at each other wondering how to address the situation they were all thrust into. The Scooby Gang all collectively turned towards Klaus. Elena deciding to be brave, even though she and everybody else with her knew she was supposed to be dead, spoke up and asked the question, "What did you do Klaus? Was killing Jenna in front of my eyes not enough revenge already?"
