Me, Klaus and Stefan get out of a car.

"Welcome back to Chicago, Stefan." Klaus smirks.

"What are we doing here?" Stefan questions.

"I know how much you loved it here. Bringing back memories of the good old ripper days?" Klaus remarks.

"Blacked out most of them. A lot of blood, a lot of partying. The details are all a blur." Stefan states.

"Well, that is a crying shame. The details are what make it legend." Klaus smiles. "Chicago was magical."

"Yeah, well, I'll take your word for it. Like I said, I don't remember most of it." Stefan grumbles. 

"Going to get down to business, then?" Klaus asks.

"Why am I still with you? We had our fun, your hybrids failed. I mean, don't you want to move on?" Stefan remarks.

"We're going to see my favourite witch. If anyone can help us with our hybrid problem, it's her." Klaus walks over to the car door which is being held open by one of his minions.

Me, Klaus and Stefan enter a bar. It's dim, quiet, and empty.

"Looks familiar, doesn't it?" Klaus looks at Stefan

 "I can't believe this place is still here." Stefan laughs, looking around the bar.

"You got to be kidding me." A woman walks out from around the corner.

Klaus smiles. "So, a hybrid walks into a bar, says to the bartender..."

The woman interrupts him. "Stop. You may be invincible, but that doesn't make you funny."

She looks at Stefan. "I remember you."

"Yeah. You're Gloria. Shouldn't you be..." Stefan begins.

"Old and dead? Now if I die, who's going to run this place, huh?" Gloria smiles.

"Gloria's a very powerful witch." Klaus states.

"I can slow the aging down some. Herbs and spells. But don't worry, it'll catch up to me one day." Gloria explains. 

"Stefan, why don't you go and fix us up a little something from behind the bar?" Klaus says to Stefan

"Yeah, sure thing." Stefan goes to the bar. 

"And who might you be," Gloria looks at me. "Another one of Klaus' playthings?"

I scoff. Who does this woman think she is?

Klaus looks at Gloria, ignoring her comment.  "You look ravishing, by the way."

"Don't. I know why you're here. A hybrid out to make more hybrids? That kind of news travels." Gloria simply states.

"So, what am I doing wrong? I broke the curse." Klaus questions.

This conversation is getting boring. I walk over to Stefan.
