"But keeping it a secret somehow makes it mine. A secret that has been buried too long, eating a hole in me, worms its way to the surface, like a swimmer who can't hold his breath any longer."


Unknown Location, Sometime in the past
There is a projector whirring and it focuses on a pile of explosive material. "Test 405-E commencing," a man's voice says. "On my mark. Three, two, one," the man counts down.
The explosion blows and nothing happens to the artifact,
"That's impossible," he whispers. "Test 405-E is a total failure. The object remains sealed," the man says.
"Commencing Test 406-A. Using highly corrosive acid," the man says, facing the camera. "We will find a way to open it," he says.
"I thought he was in Malivore," Kol asks. "He was just not in there for as long as he told everyone he was,"
Hope says.

Emily and Alison and Aria walked into the dark haired Mikaelson's bedroom at the Mikaelson compound. "Well, hello," Lucifer says. "Aren't you bored," Elitoy asks. "Out of my mind,"
Lucifer says. "It was your idea," Hope says. "It was a brilliant idea and I really do not know why we were grounded," Lucifer says. "We were grounded because we went to her second line dressed in red," ivy says. Lucifer shrugs, "What are we going to do," Lucifer asks. "There is the second largest Mardi Gras party tonight," ivy says. "You, little Miss Goody Two Shoes want to sneak out," Lucifer asks. Ivy smirks,
"Are you scared,"ivy asks. Lucifer stands, "Let's set up the spell then," Lucifer says.

Klaus, Rebekah and Kol and Damon and Finn and Elijah  and Herink exchange a look, "Something feels wrong about this," Rebekah says. Klaus hold ivy 's hands. "It'll be okay,"Lucifer says. "They won't judge you," Lizzie adds. "They don't exactly have room to," Josie says. "None of them can," Lizzie adds.
Ivy smiles at her cousins and her best friends,brothers and husband.
"Thanks," she says.

Mystic Falls - Present
There is a bird chirping, MG and Ethan are looking at Finch who is sleeping. "Maybe this wasn't the best plan.
Superheroes are supposed to save people, not kidnap them," Ethan says. "I should probably get Headmistress Forbes down here. Though he'll ask why we're keeping
Finch out here in the barn of the family you're staying with,"
MG says. "Wait, you haven't told him yet?" Ethan asks.
"Well, I was worried if I told him I didn't compel your memories away, our days of superhero team-up would be over," MG says. "Uh, she is moving," Ethan says suddenly.
MG turns to see Finch asleep but moving out of the barn.
"Okay, look, I need you. Just put on your secret identity, all right? Go to school and act normal while I deal with this,"
MG says. "The Blur and E-man got to take a day off," MG says. "Fine. I will sign off on laying low, but not the superhero names," Ethan says. "What? Um, um, E...-money?" MG asks. "Hmm," Ethan hums. "E-commerce?" MG offers. "Right? I'll think of some better ones in geometry class," Ethan says, moving to leave the barn. "Invisique saeclum," Lucifer says as he appears in front of his former fellow student. "Lucifer ," MG says. "How...How long have you..." MG begins to ask. "Bonnie wants to talk to Finch and offer her a place at the school," Lucifer says. "So Finch disappearing," MG trails off. "Was Lizzie taking her to the school," Lucifer says. "I want you to know that neither of us will tell Bonnie ," Lucifer says. "Thank you," MG says. "But Molly is pissed,"Lucifer says. MG nods, "Got it," MG says.

"You are going to break it to her lightly," Klaus says.
Lucifer nods, "This one was not easy," the dark haired Mikaelson says.

In the Mikaelson Boarding School's gym, the students and bonnie are trying to activate Cleo's powers. "Relax. Just let the inspiration flow out of you," Bonnie says to Cleo.
"Did it work?" Cleo asks, opening her eyes. "I mean, I don't want to speak for the rest of the group, but I feel the exact same," ivy says. "So...O for 9, then," hope says, as she moves over to the board and crosses something off the board. "Good thing it's a big board," ivy mutters. "What's next?" Bonnie asks. "Perhaps muses cannot choose whom they inspire. Or I am terrible at being one. Either way, we should stop. This is not working," Cleo says. Ash and ivy and Aiden and Seth and Owen and Ryder and Brax and Casey and Heath and Kyle and Jaxon and Calila and rose and hope and mikayla and Elitoy and molly and Dean turn and look at her, "When we find a way to activate your powers... ivy says trailing off. "If," Cleo says. "When," Molly amends. "You will inspire us to have something that we've never had in our fight against Malivore," ivy says.
"An advantage,"Mikaya finishes. "That's the spirit. Now what's next?" Bonnie asks. "Uh...Mind meld," Rose reads off of the board. "Wow. Let me guess who came up with that thunderbolt," Kaleb says, giving Jed a look. "As the only person who's actually been inspired by Cleo, quit trying to force it," Jed says. "Just be natural," he says. The werewolf approaches Cleo awkwardly. "Ain't nothing natural about that," Kaleb says. "It worked. I know how we defeat Malivore. We summon a time travel monster to send us back in time and stop him from being born," Jed says.
Kaleb scoffs, "Where is Lizzie with the zinger when you need her?" Kaleb asks. "She had a far greater duty this morning. And I quote, she had 'a fashion emergency," ivy says. "Okay, I will take a Lucifer straight up insult," Kaleb says. " he is doing something for me," Bonnie says. "Yeah, that's been going on since the day we met, so..." Kaleb says to ivy . "You know what?" Bonnie says. "I think Jed's right," Bonnie says. "Yeah?" Jed asks. "Not about the time travel. Maybe we're going about this all wrong. Instead of you trying to inspire us, maybe you just need to focus on what inspires you, like, uh, a song or a work of art," Bonnie says. "Or a special someone," Kaleb says, approaching Cleo. "Great," ivy mutters. "If Kaleb's game is the answer to our problems, then we're doomed," Calila adds. Cleo chuckles as she turns to the 20 teens , her eyes glowing a shining gold. "Whoa,"Elitoy says. "Something just happened," ivy adds. "Anyone have any brilliant ideas?" Landon asks, breaking her silence. "Yeah," Jed says. "Not you, Jed," Landon says. Ivy moves towards the door of the gym and Ash and Aiden and Seth and Owen and Ryder and Brax and Casey and Heath and Kyle and Jaxon and Calila and rose and hope and mikayla and Elitoy and molly and Dean follows her. "Take that as a yes, ivy ," Heath asks. "More like a maybe. I just need to do some research before I share with the group. But I can assure you, it's completely safe and I won't even have to leave school," ivy says. "At least I potentially inspired one person," Cleo says. "Oh, make that two. I believe our monster problem's connected to the artifact, which we know was in Triad's possession," Bonnie says. "So maybe there's a clue in their records, if they still exist, which would be at their old records, if they still exist, which would be at their old headquarters," she says. "It's all so clear now," Bonnie says. "Headmistress Bennett ," Lucifer says from the open doors.Bonnie turns, "You have a visitor in your office," Lucifer says. "I will be there in a minute," Bonnie says.
"Thank you, Cleo," Bonnie says. "Do not thank me until you find what you seek. I would like to accompany you," Cleo says. "And I'd like to accompany you," Kaleb says to Cleo. Bonnie and Cleo raises their eyebrows, "You," Kaleb amends, turning his attention to the Headmistress. "Um, because.my-my skill set might come in handy if the mission goes sideways," Kaleb says. "The more the merrier," Bonnie says. "Let's go," Bonnie says to Lucifer.
"Kaleb get up the car, as soon as I am done talking to my visitor, we will go,"Bonnie says.
