Dean grumbled while rolling over in bed. He picked up his ringing phone and answered the call.

"Hello," Dean said, his voice a bit deeper than usual.

"Dean, it's Loki," Loki said.

"Hey. What's up," Dean said, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"Klaus... Something is wrong with Klaus."

The sleep vanished from Dean's body.

"I'm on my way," Dean said, standing up.

Sam and Dean pulled up to the Mikaelson Mansion in New Orleans. They got out, making quick strides into the building.

"Elijah," Dean said, making the vampire turn to him, "Where is he?"

"Follow me," Elijah said, leading them to Klaus's room.

Bucky and Loki were already there, trying to comfort him. Klaus was sitting in the corner. His eyes looked distant and terrified.

Dean took a seat on the ground, causing Klaus's eyes to meet his briefly. He glanced over at Sam, who opened his laptop case and pulled out a sketchbook. He handed him the book and some pencils as well.

Dean ripped out three empty pages and handed two of them to Bucky and Loki. He kept the last empty page before placing the sketchbook in front of Klaus.

"I suck at drawing," Bucky complained.

"Join the club," Dean chuckled, attempting to sketch a picture, "It's been a while since I heard from you, Loki."

"I've been busy," Loki said.

"Aren't you supposed to be holding the universes together," Bucky asked.

Loki waved his hand to reveal the strings attached to his body. Some of the strings were causing him to bleed from his movement. Dean grimaced as it looked pretty painful.

Dean lightly wiped away some blood, making Loki's muscles tense before relaxing.

"I learned how to move around, but still hold the timelines in place," Loki said, making the strings disappear from their sight.

"Is it okay to be telling us this," Dean asked.

"The universe is still in place, so yes," Loki smirked.

Loki glanced at Klaus as he picked up the sketchbook. His hand found the pencil and soon he was sketching with them.

"So Stark's birthday is coming up and he wanted to invite you and your family to his party," Bucky said.

"Isn't Stark like a huge partier," Dean asked.

"Yeah. So be prepared to stay overnight," Bucky said.

"I'll have to talk to Sam, Jack, and Cas," Dean said, "But I'm sure we can make it."

"I'll ask Mobius if he's up for it," Loki said.

"I'm sure my siblings wouldn't mind," Klaus said lowly.

"I'll let him know," Bucky said, holding up his picture, "I think I did this wrong."

"That's a lovely dog," Loki said, tilting his head.

"That's supposed to be a horse."

Loki mouth gaped open before he closed it again.

"Are you sure," Loki asked, causing Klaus to chuckle.

"Sketching with a metal arm isn't easy, y'know," Bucky sassed, rolling his eyes.

"I think I can help," Klaus offered, tearing out another paper, "After all, I taught myself how to paint again after becoming the Hybrid."

Slowly, Klaus started to become more talkative as he attempted to assist Bucky with drawing.
