Nick Knight, Lucien LaCroix and Methos
Mar. 21st, 2009 11:07 pmThis is just a single scene that has been haunting me. Normally I would write it up as a full story and post it, however it's a crossover between Highlander (my crossover-verse of choice) and Forever Knight (which I have never actually seen an episode of). The fanfic I have read for Forever Knight has let me know mostly that I don't know those characters well enough to write them well. Thus, I'm sending this plot-bunny out to pasture along with the others.
My understanding of Forever Knight is that Lucien LaCroix is a vampire originally from the Roman Empire. During the crusades or thereabout, he sired Nicholas. Nicholas, now called Nick Knight is currently working with a doctor and attempting to become human again because vampires are evil and yadda-yadda. Nick and LaCroix having fights that apparently resemble father vs. teenage boy spats regarding family responsibility and morals and whatnot. LaCroix runs a bar that's for mixed company (both humans and vamps). The "house red" is what you would expect from a vampire. (Nick refuses to drink it because it's human blood and sticks to the less appetizing animal blood.)
Thus the scene opens with Methos and LaCroix old friends getting together for a drink and a chat. They're both drinking the house red. (With a brother like Caspian, I don't image this is a problem for Methos. LaCroix just thinks its funny.) Nick comes in, is shocked at what this human is drinking. He tries to get the poor human out of there. Methos laughs in his face, and LaCroix informs him that Methos is an old friend.
Nick says, but he has a heart beat.
Methos says, yeah, pacemakers are wonderful thinks, the surgery was tricky but it's worth it for the ability to show a pulse.
LaCroix laughs.
Nick, pacemaker?
Methos, yeah, LaCroix tells me you want to be human again. I can't say I want to be mortal, but I've cultivated a lot of human aspects. I can even eat meat.
Nick, how? (he's excited)
Methos, you have to start slow and work up to anything really solid. Spend a year eating at a burn hospital then try some seared steak.
Nick is appalled.
LaCroix is attempting to keep a straight face (he knows Methos isn't a vampire)
Methos finally takes off, LaCroix wishes him farewell, Nick may or may not know the whole conversation was a prank.
the end
