Word Count: 464
The trip to the border and the safety of the World Health Organization waiting across the line was more than any of the Leverage team bargained for. After a stop for Hagen Daas, the kids seemed to settle and sleep. That is except for a pair of eight year old twin girls. They curled up together and seemed asleep but were whimpering in unison.
Sophie tried to wake them but ended up getting punched, twice, in the face. Lindsey noticed what was going on.
“Sophie, let me handle this,” Lindsey said as he sat down on the seat behind them. He shook them but ducked for cover when they turned on him. He muttered something in a language no one recognized. They woke up groggily and looked around to see who had spoken and he smiled at them. The girls huddled closer together but didn't go back to sleep.
Lindsey moved back to where Sophie, Hardison, Parker and Eliot were sitting.
“What did you say to them?” Sophie said amazed.
“I told them they were safe,” Lindsey said.
“That wasn't a language I've ever heard of,” Hardison commented.
“You wouldn't have,” Lindsey said. “It's the language of the First Slayer. Except for Slayer lore it has died out.”
Eliot eyed the twins. “You mean they're Slayers?”
“No. Willow's spell only activated the Potentials who had reached puberty five years ago. Those two are too young,” Lindsey explained. “I think they are Potentials.”
“Right. We need to get them to Buffy,” Eliot said.
“We can call her and have her meet us when we cross the border,” Sophie suggested.
“No. The WHO would notice. These girls need to stay under the radar,” Lindsey said.
“He's right,” Eliot chimed in. “Slayers like to stay off official records.”
“Not just like to stay off records but have had bad experiences when officialdom mixes with them,” Lindsey said.
“So what do we do?” Parker asked.
“We have Nate pull over a couple miles from the border, and Lindsey and I will take the twins to Budapest and meet Buffy there. You all go on and leave out all mention of us when you talk to the officials,” Eliot said.
“Sounds like a plan,” Lindsey said as he gathered up a few simple supplies and talked to the girls.
Nate pulled over and let them off.
“I hope we did the right thing,” Sophie said as she watched the cousins lead the twins to the forest.
“Eliot has survived in worse conditions. I'm sure Lindsey is just as capable,” Nate reassured her. “Now we have to get the rest of these kids to safety.” H e drove the rest of the way. They were met by the WHO and on their way to Budapest after just a couple hours.
