Bucky stepped up to Elion as he made weapons for the new guests to use. It wouldn't kill an original, but at the very least, they won't be defenseless against vampires.

"That guy in your dream. Who is he," Bucky asked.

Elion felt a faint smile twitch at his lips.

"He was my Steve Rogers," Elion said.

"What happened to him," Bucky asked, assuming he died.

"He's still alive. We're just separated," Elion explained.

Bucky gave a look of understanding.

"You looked really happy in your dream. Maybe you should give him a call," Bucky suggested, "You'll never know when you'll get another chance. Even as his friend."

Bucky walked away, leaving Elion alone to chew on his advice.

"Dad?"

Elion turned around to face Atlas and Milo as they walked into view.

Milo went up to him, pulling him into a hug. Elion returned the embrace. He extended his hand to Atlas, allowing him to join in the hug.

"I didn't know you would die," Milo said.

"Hey, it's alright," Elion said, kneeling down, "I'm fine. You did nothing wrong. The spell was tampered with."

"Speaking of, we found the person responsible," Atlas reported.

"She wasn't alone in this attack," Elion said, "It takes more than just one witch to send someone's soul into another dimension."

"So what do you think? This was a personal attack," Milo asked.

"It sure felt personal," Elion agreed.

Atlas handed him a vial.

"Vampire," Atlas said, nodding at the vial of blood.

Elion pushed his hand away.

"Keep it for yourself," Elion said, "I'll get my own vampire blood."

"Dad, I know you and Damon aren't talking but... We just think it would be best if you could see him again," Atlas said, "Maybe as a friend this time."

Elion nodded slowly. Bucky said the same thing. It would be nice to gain some kind of closure to their relationship.

Elion still cared for Damon and Stefan. It just was no longer romantic anymore.
