Who: Stefan and Damon Salvatore, later Johanna Barker.
What: Brothers reuniting!
When: Monday night, shortly after Stefan's arrival.
Where: Their villa in Italy.
Warnings: I'll put yes to be safe, then edit as needed.

Damon took the portkey to the outskirts of town, shaking his hair to reorient himself. It was only a few more seconds before he'd turned into a crow at least twice as big as most, and flew to the villa. It was much as he remembered, which was odd enough in and of itself, and he fluttered to a windowsill. Pecking at the glass, he cocked his head impatiently, sighing and ruffling his feathers in impatience. Brother. Let me in. His Powers were as strong as ever; being able to hop the globe made feeding so much easier.

	Stefan had been waiting with his usual infinite patience, sprawled across a fainting couch in what amounted to a parlor, the antiroom, really, outside his own room. His brow arched, sighing inwardly at the demand, tugging the headphones out of his ears and leaving them on the divan before going to open the window, "Well, come in then." (Reply to this)

	With the invitation, Damon could enter freely. He fluttered inside, turning back into himself as soon as his feet touched the ground. "Eerie how little this place has changed." He smiled at Stefan, entirely too toothily to be comforting. "I missed you, you know." (Reply to this)

	"Why? No one else around for you to pester?" There wasn't any acid in the tone, as such, it was annoyance more than anything else, long-suffering annoyance, "Can't fathom any other reason you'd actually miss me, Damon." (Reply to this)

"Is it not so unreasonable that when place in an alternate dimension with nobody I know that I would miss the only constant I've ever had in my life - hating you?" He poked through the cabinets, curious as to what they contained. He puzzled over a potato masher, finally shaking his head and shrugging. "I really only know one other person here, and I made sure to secure her company in some small way."

	There was something close to an actual smile at that, sprawling himself onto the fainting couch once more, "Let me guess, a Hunter? Thought you would have learned your lesson the first three times." (Reply to this)

Damon rolled his eyes. "They were very, very fun until the found out what I was. Awful sports, really. Though delicious." He licked his lower lip before biting it and smirking. "No, she's one of us. And a lady, no less. You met her mother-sire on the boards earlier."

Pausing, Damon thought about how Stefan would react to Johanna - likely the same way he had, with shock and a desire to flee.

	His brow arched at that, "I find it somewhat odd that you'd feel the need to defend me so readily from the sire of someone you consider good company." A one-shouldered shrug, "No accounting for taste, I suppose." (Reply to this)

	winning_side 2009-05-11 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	"Johanna is fine. Her sire is insane." Damon shrugged. He moved to flop down on the couch, smirking. He fished his mobile phone out of his jacket pocket. "Would you like to meet her? She knows where this is, you know. I showed her." (Reply to this)

	means_savior 2009-05-11 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	Stefan studied his brother intently for a long moment, the turn and tumble of his thoughts very nearly audible even to someone who couldn't actually hear them. Finally he shrugged, "I suppose I'll have to eventualy anyway." (Reply to this)

	winning_side 2009-05-11 10:54 pm UTC (link)
	Damon just grinned toothily and dialed Johanna's number. "Johanna, love! You'll never guess who's here! His Holiness himself!" He lit up when he heard her voice, and looked over at Stefan. Some weird part of him didn't want them to meet, but he swallowed it back. He certainly didn't care about either of them that deeply. (Reply to this)

	Johanna's first question, of course, was: "You've met the pope?" Though this was followed almost immediately by: "Oh! Your brother, funny how this place does that, isn't it? Did you call to gloat or to warn me?" (Reply to this)

	winning_side 2009-05-11 11:03 pm UTC (link)
	"I came to gloat, as well as to invite you to the villa. Come see us." He smiled and bit his lower lip. "He'd love to meet you, sparrow." His voice was light and coaxing. (Reply to this)

	notjustblonde 2009-05-11 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	She laughed at that, bright and clear, enough for Stefan to raise a brow at the sound of it, "Oh allright, I suppose I can tear myself away for a while. I'll see you soon." That said, she hung up. She still hadn't gotten used to parting salutations, either that or she just didn't care. (Reply to this)

	winning_side 2009-05-11 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	Tucking the phone back in his pocket, Damon smirked. He was just waiting for the moment his brother's heart stopped. So to speak. (Reply to this)

	means_savior 2009-05-11 11:35 pm UTC (link)
	It wasn't as if it was going all that fast to start with. Stefan just arched a brow, he really didn't trust that smirk, he hadn't ever trusted it, come to think of that. His brow arched just a little higher at the chime on the downstairs door, "Are you going to let her in or should I?" (Reply to this)

	winning_side 2009-05-11 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	"It's your house, Brother. I think you should." Damon did stand up; he wanted to see the fireworks as closely as he could. "Let's not keep her waiting, what happened to your manners?" (Reply to this)

There was that browarch again, the one that said, quite clearly, he didn't trust Damon any further than he could throw him. But he unfolded all the same, making his way easily down the stairs and opening the door to a grinning Johanna.

He reeled for a moment, inwardly more than outwardly, but he did take a step back all the same, the movement startled, wholly involuntary, though that moment was all he needed to process the differences, Johanna was taller than Katherine had been, not much, but enough, and there were a dozen other minuscule differences that very nearly slammed themselves into place before he could panic.

	Damon, on the other hand, moved forward toward Johanna in a sweeping bow, leaning down to murmur something into her ear that earned him a playful slap. He grinned back at Stefan. "Isn't she lovely? You can see why I'm so taken with her. I think it's the eyes." (Reply to this)

Johanna, for her part, grinned again, arm looping through Damon's, perfectly at ease here, brow arching just slightly, studying Stefan for a long moment as he collected himself.

Stefan shook his head a moment later, managing a wan, utterly polite, smile, "I can see why you would be, yes." Another, somewhat tighter, smile, "I suppose he's told you how much you look like Katherine?"

Johanna just beamed at that, "He still asks, once in a while, just to make sure I'm not."

	"I'm entitled to my paranoia, love." He kissed the top of her head again, sighing and looking over at his brother. He looked uncomfortable, which was always fun, but he wanted to make sure that Stefan knew Johanna wasn't like Elena. There would be no contest, no competition. He'd been there first. (Reply to this)

	notjustblonde 2009-05-12 12:24 am UTC (link)
	She grinned again, looking just as content as ever, "Of course you are, and I shan't try to rob you of it." She'd gotten good at picking up stray thoughts as of late, and her grin went just a little wry when she caught the shape of Damon's. Stefan just nodded once, "So I see." (Reply to this)

	winning_side 2009-05-12 12:27 am UTC (link)
	Damon bursted with pride when she picked up on his thoughts. The acquisition of Power was important in any young vampire's life, and he was very proud of Johanna for starting to develop hers. Wrapping his arms loosely around her waist, he tried to steal a kiss. (Reply to this)

	notjustblonde 2009-05-12 12:32 am UTC (link)
	She just laughed softly, tilting her head so that he got cheek instead, looking altogether too pleased with herself, the expression made Stefan uneasy, far too like Katherine at the moment. He cleared his throat, just once, "Should I leave you to it then?" (Reply to this)

	winning_side 2009-05-12 12:34 am UTC (link)
	Damon pouted. "You don't want a proper family reunion, Stefan?" His large brown-black eyes shone with hidden mirth that he tried to pass off as disappointment. "Or did you want me to kiss you too?" (Reply to this)

	means_savior 2009-05-12 12:48 am UTC (link)
	That only earned him a dour look, Stefan's jaw tightening for a moment, though he managed a light enough tone when he replied with, "Hardly. I simply find myself curious as to why you're really here at all." (Reply to this)
