Another Teaser for upcoming Advent Story<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ethan gave Benji’s shoulder a reassuring squeeze, then moved over to the table putting down the flashdrive, while grabbing headphones.\u00a0 He studied his Sire for a few moments, instantly noticing the tense shoulders, and quiet demeanor.\u00a0 The Kremlin mission was a fuck up all around, and they were lucky none of them had been killed, or stuck in another Russian Prison.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Benji turned his focus to the new guy.\u00a0 The first thing he noticed was his eyes, they held a mix of bewilderedness and fondness, but mostly they were captivating. \u00a0 His build was strong, despite the fact he was an Analyst, which made him wonder if he used to be an Agent.\u00a0 He hadn’t been out of shape while working in IT, but when he went through the physical training to be an Agent, oh dear god he thought he was going to die.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “So how do you know Ethan?”\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There was an irrational burst of jealousy over the two men.\u00a0 It was obvious to anyone, they were comfortable in each other’s presence.\u00a0 Benji knew Ethan had a Mate, even received a long list telling him ‘how to take care of one anxiety ridden corny super spy’ from Luther, and so far he already broke a few of the ‘do not let him do’ sections of the list. \u00a0 And it just wouldn’t be fair if the really hot guy in the soaked suit had a relationship with his Sire.<\/span><\/p>\n Will snorted, then glanced over to Jane not sure who knew about Vampires. “We’ve worked together a few times.”\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “He’s my husband.” Ethan stated as he finished with the flashdrive, then turned towards the team.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “I had heard you were married, but last I checked it was a wife.” Jane glanced up from a laptop she was working on, expression mixed between annoyance and confusion.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “Past life.”\u00a0 Will answered as if that explained everything.\u00a0 He gave Ethan a look that only a spouse could give, and then sighed heavily.\u00a0 “Can we just get the awkward conversation over with?”<\/span><\/p>\n “The Analyst one or the Vampire one?”\u00a0 Jane gave him a pointed look before focusing back on her laptop.\u00a0 “I discovered both within a short time period and am still deciding which will come back and bite me in the ass.”<\/span><\/p>\n “I like her.”\u00a0 Will glanced at Ethan, who grinned.\u00a0 “The Analyst is the least of your worries, but the Vampire conversation needs to be had.”<\/span><\/p>\n “I found out about it, when this one.”\u00a0 She pointed at Benji, who was trying desperately to blend into the background. “Turned Hanaway on the last op.”\u00a0 Her voice kinda dropped, the fear of the moment still clear.\u00a0 “So we met some Vampire friends who are watching him.”<\/span><\/p>\n “You Turned Hanaway?”\u00a0 Ethan gave Benji a pointed look, one that normally sent Agents running for their lives.\u00a0 “You may have left that part out of your story, when you mentioned Jane could be snacked on.”<\/span><\/p>\n “Congrats it’s a grandson.”\u00a0 He smiled at his Sire, moving closer to Will hoping for protection.<\/span><\/p>\n “Grandson?”\u00a0 Will glanced between the two Vampires, as if he was desperately trying to put the whole story together in his head.\u00a0 “Does this have anything to do with you being in a Russian jail?”<\/span><\/p>\n “We had to break him out.”\u00a0 Benji stated, hoping just hoping that he could divert the conversation away from Hanaway.\u00a0 That particular op wasn’t easy.\u00a0 He never realized how much Ethan did not follow properly laid out exit signs.\u00a0 “When we finally got him and his friend out \u2026 ” He paused when he noticed that Will continued to glare at Ethan.<\/span><\/p>\n “Cousin of a Russian Arms Dealer.\u00a0 I mentioned this.”\u00a0 Ethan shrugged like this was an everyday occurrence.\u00a0 Then again for him, it likely was.<\/span><\/p>\n “Are you really his husband?\u00a0 So the wife was a beard?”\u00a0 Jane asked, despite some of her focus still on the laptop.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “Where the fuck is Luther?”\u00a0 Will asked as his frustration built.\u00a0 There was no way the burly hacker would allow his Mate to be in a Russian prison, without backup. \u00a0 Ever since Luther had come into Ethan’s life, he had found an allie on getting Ethan to calm the fuck down.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “He’s in Australia.”\u00a0 Ethan answered as if that actually helped the situation.\u00a0 “Okay let’s do a quick recap so we can actually get on with the actual mission.” \u00a0 He ran a hand through his hair, pushing it out of his face.\u00a0 “My darling Husband here is Wilhelm Brandenstein, Lead Hunter of Ehre\/Weishet\u2026”<\/span><\/p>\n “Wait, we were just with your Clan!”\u00a0 Benji pointed at Will, smiling brightly.\u00a0 “Met Claus and Mr. I have no facial expression.”<\/span><\/p>\n “Preston?”\u00a0 Will blinked slowly, not quite sure how the hell this conversation got derailed so fast.\u00a0 “How did you meet my Hunters and I not know about it?”<\/span><\/p>\n “Actually, while we’re on the subject, why didn’t you tell me I had an uncle?!”\u00a0 He pointed at Ethan with an accusational glare.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “An uncle who tried to assassinate Hitler.”\u00a0 Jane commented from her spot spinning the laptop around.\u00a0 “I knew the name sounded familiar but I couldn’t quite place it. \u00a0 He’s the one who almost pulled off toppling the Nazi Party, starting with killing Hitler.”<\/span><\/p>\n Ethan sighed, hands resting on the work table.\u00a0 “Yeah I know. I was there, helped get his family out of Germany.\u00a0 Okay, let’s just get this out.\u00a0 Will, I Turned Benji a few years ago, it was just before I met Julia and that whole situation went down.\u00a0 To make the point, I never actually married her, especially since I have a cranky hacker as a Mate. \u00a0 Though it didn’t matter ’cause the damage was done, and she had to give up her life because of me. \u00a0 Benji, I have the soul of Will’s wife, Anya, so yes in many ways he is my ‘husband’. \u00a0 Carter, at this moment I need you focused on this job and not on Hanaway, he’s safe.\u00a0 Are we covered?”<\/span><\/p>\n All three nodded.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Another Teaser for upcoming Advent Story<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1049,137,66,976],"tags":[1050,490],"class_list":["post-20260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sylum-advent-2022","category-sylum-events","category-sylum-stories","category-teasers","tag-sylum-advent-2022","tag-sylum-teaser"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2Da1M-5gM","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":20476,"url":"https:\/\/www.sylumclan.com\/sylumblog\/sylum-advent-2022-surprise-teaser\/","url_meta":{"origin":20260,"position":0},"title":"Sylum Advent 2022: Surprise Teaser!","author":"Nicolaus Meridius","date":"January 2, 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Sylum Aesthetic: Things That Go Bump In The Night Artist: Bj Jones Artist Note: This is an aesthetic for an upcoming story that will be seen in 2023.","rel":"","context":"In "Sylum Advent: 2022"","block_context":{"text":"Sylum Advent: 2022","link":"https:\/\/www.sylumclan.com\/sylumblog\/category\/sylum-events\/sylum-advent-2022\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sylumclan.com\/sylumblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/bar-banner_advent2022.jpg?resize=350%2C200&ssl=1","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":2321,"url":"https:\/\/www.sylumclan.com\/sylumblog\/sylum-advent-december-20th-to-rise-and-rise-again-by-bj-jones-teaser-trailer\/","url_meta":{"origin":20260,"position":1},"title":"Sylum Advent – December 20th: To Rise and Rise Again by BJ Jones (Teaser Trailer)","author":"Nicolaus Meridius","date":"December 20, 2013","format":false,"excerpt":"December 20th \u00a0 \u00a0 Title: To Rise and Rise Again (Teaser Trailer) Video Maker: Bj Jones Summary: Teaser Trailer for the next Sylum Arc: To Rise and Rise Again by Bj Jones Note:\u00a0Watch this Vid a few times!
