Who: You! If you wanna be there!
What: Their Vegas trip turns into an Alien Attack!
Where: Las Vegas, Alternate dimension of some sort.
When: The next day

Peter had one hell of a hang over, and the details of the night before were more than a little bit foggy. The details of which would no doubt start filtering back to him slowly over time. But as he looked out on the early morning sunrise over the strip he frowned looking out over the horizon.

There were lights, and not just the Vegas lights, not the neon of casinos and spot lights encouraging people to come out and spend their nights and days throwing away their money, but hovering lights, that were rapidly approaching. But even that wasn't enough to really clue him in - not until the first laser beam shot out of one of the ships (they were ships!) and blasted the replica Eiffel Tower did Peter get it.

They were under attack, here of all places. Hung over and not at all dressed for the occasion. This was his punishment he thought, for what he and Carol had gotten up to since their arrival.

"Come on! Move move move!" Peter was already moving, he might not have the suit and well he might not be from here but he wasn't about to let people get hurt.

Klaus and Bill

At the sound of the first explosion Bill had rolled out of bed wand in hand and gone to the window. A little lie in was what the doctor had ordered after the night before. Not that he was complaining, it had been wonderful. But it looked like they'd overstayed their welcome, if the lasers shooting through the sky were anything to go by. Bill was still tugging on his shirt when he apparated into the street, aiming a spell at the alien terrorizing a few people not far away.

That was well and good, but not what he was looking for. What he was looking for had gone off in search of coffee and Bill wasn't leaving without him. Lucky he didn't have to search for too long, Klaus hair was recognizable enough from over the top of his arms.

There were enough big damn heroes and Bill was relieved to see Klaus out of the way. But out of the way was only going to stay that way for a few moments longer and Bill sprinted forward sending a barrage of hexes toward the creatures coming their way and finally making it to his side. Bill threw up a shield around them as he ducked down beside him.

"There you are, gorgeous," Bill said breathlessly. "I've been looking for you everywhere."

He didn't hear Bill at first, not the sort of quiet relief in his tone or even the worst at all. Klaus was too caught up in his own head initially, right back in the rice fields and jungles of Vietnam all over again, the one place in the world he didn't want to be. It had been months since he'd left that place, and yet a few explosions and suddenly it was like he'd never left.

But Bill's voice filtered in slowly, breaking through that haze of trauma and pulling Klaus back into the moment. Even then though he wasn't at his best.

He reached for Bill, grabbing for him in one hand and holding tight to him. He felt like he'd just run a mile, his heart was racing and he was short of breath though all he'd done was press himself into a corner and stay there. That same fear was right back in him again, settling in against his chest, slipping in between his ribs and pressing down on him in that familiar suffocating sort of way that it had then in those early months when he realized he hadn't found a case full of money or drugs but instead the means to time travel.

"I- I can't - I can't, this isn't ... I gotta get out." He couldn't put the words together, they were rushed and fumbling, couldn't say what he was feeling or anything else other than that he needed out of this place of this situation and he didn't know how to do that.

Bill knew trauma when he saw it. He'd been a child living in a post-war world, seen the scars and the loss left behind. Battles fought and won but never forgotten and Klaus had that far away look in his eyes, like he wasn't really even seeing him. There had been hints about it, about what he'd been through and what he'd lost, but Bill hadn't ever seen him like this.

A laser hit Bill's shielding charm and he felt the impact a little, but recovered to drop the shield and fire off a few more charms and push the aliens back away from them.

If he apparated he was worried he'd go and leave part of him behind, especially because he was in such a panic. "We're going to get out," Bill assured him as he brought up the shield again and dropped down onto his knees. "I'm not about to leave without you, love," Bill soothed him gently.

Later maybe they'd have to talk about this, about this kind of reaction but that moment wasn't now, Klaus wasn't anywhere near ready to have an actual conversation at the moment, he was too caught up in his own fear and the stunned sort of horror that settled in against him as what had been a comfortable and even fun trip was suddenly something very very different.

Bill was good though, with that promise, that he wouldn't leave without him, that they were getting out - which was exactly what Klaus needed right then, to get out of this place, back to the quiet and the calm of their town.

He kept his hand on Bill after he'd put it there, needing that, like a lifeline in the middle of a raging sea and he was trying to keep his head above water. He flinched when a laser struck the barrier Bill had put up around them, ducking his head and seeking some sort of cover that there just wasn't. "Okay," He breathed out between great deep breaths like he was trying to catch his breath, "Okay what do we do?" Because he didn't care, he didn't care that he couldn't breathe or that he could feel his heart threatening to beat right out of his chest or that he could hear the screams of his fellow soldiers still ringing in his ears, he just needed to get out and Bill said they were going to so he needed to know how to make that happen.

Later they'd talk about it, well Bill hoped that they would. He wanted to know him more, more than just knowing what his insides felt like, or his trousers looked like on the floor. But actually know him. But it wasn't about to happen there and nor should it. Bill wanted to get Klaus and Ben out of there and then maybe help with the public if they needed it.

Another laser hit the shield and Bill had had just about enough of those useless creatures. "Hold tight just a second," he said as he brushed a kiss to his knuckles. Bill stood up and turned on the advancing aliens with a flurry of golden light and red hair. With the closest threat neutralized he held out his hand to him.

"Come on, I think I've had enough of Vegas, let's get Ben and go home."

And they did.
