Meetup (EverymanHYBRID x Peace of Life)

Meetup

(I understand these two stories are from different timelines. But for this story I'm adjusting the PoL timeline to the early 2000s. It's the only way it makes sense. ALSO TW: alcohol, drug mentions, blood, gore, derealization)

"Fuck, it's pouring. I think this is the house though." Evan says through gritted teeth, securing himself from the rain with a hood.

"Let's hope they let us stay the night. We don't have the money to go to a hotel." Vinny sighs, "I can't believe we flew all the way out to Nevada for this." Vinny walks up to the door and knocks. Evan starts to pace around on the porch, and Jeff is trying to dry his hair.

A pretty girl opens the door. The three boys gawk at her as she smiles at them.

"Ah, you three must be from EverymanHYBRID. I'm so glad you three made it okay. I was worried when you weren't responding to my emails." The girl opens the door wide for the boys, who quickly accept.

"Um, Laurel? Who are they?" Everyone turns to the scrawny blonde. His eyes dart before settling on Evan, who is zoned out and staring at the floor. "Is he okay?"

you should kill them now. it will be easy

get it over with

"Evan. Evan! EVAN!!" Evan snaps out of his daze, and locks eyes with the blonde, making the blonde clearly uncomfortable.

"Not- Sorry, um- Sorry I was just daydreaming."

"Okay, you boys needed to talk. So let's talk." Laurel's face drops. Suddenly her face seems serious. "You three didn't fly over an hour just to visit this shitty town, so what's up?"

"I was talking to my brother, he said he met a guy named Andrew who's associated with you. And he told me that you guys work with abnormal things." Jeff starts. Vinny cuts in.

"We've been dealing with something pretty abnormal ourselves. And we just wanted to know if you guys have dealt with it too, or if you could help us out at all." Laurel stops to think for a minute, before nodding.

"Andrewww! I need your helppp!" A semi-tall, clearly annoyed man steps into the room. He grunts at the unfamiliar faces.

"Andrew. These guys say they heard of us from someone you met. Do you have any idea who that might be?" Andrew studies Jeff's face, and suddenly he grins.

"You're the brother of that Alex Koval guy, right?"

"Yeah, that's me-" Evan cuts Jeff off, seeming to be slightly pissed off.

"Look. This is important shit. We spent money we don't fucking have to come here, so if you guys know anything at all, tell us." Andrew grumbles something under his breath, before sighing and nodding.

"We've been experiencing two things. One of them is the Slenderman, if you're familiar. We know of it, and we've learned what it's capable of. But we need to get rid of it. The second thing is strange. There's this human-like thing, and it crawls on all fours like a dog. It has giant, sharp claws and is posing a really dangerous threat to us. It cut up Evan's arm, and killed Alex's dog." Vinny's eyes are wide, and he's fiddling his thumbs out of anxiety.

"Okay, okay. This is a lot to handle all at once. You sure you guys aren't drunk?"

"Are you talking about me!?" A brunette yells from the living room.

"Shut up Lucas!"

"Shut the fuck up before I stab you both with a sledgehammer!" Evan's eyes widen, and he tilts his head with a grin. Jason shoots a glance at Evan before literally disappearing.

"Where'd Mr. High Heels go?" Evan looks around, a crazed look in his eyes before he stumbles. Laurel gives him an unsure look.

"Okay. To answer your question. We've never experienced anything with this "Slenderman" or whatever creature you're talking about. Coming here was a waste of all of your time and money. You should probably-" He's cut off by Laurel
