Hayley never thought she would travel for two days with her daughter and an alien. But here they were. Hope and Stitch, as her daughter renamed him, were practically inseparable. When Hope had to use the restroom, Stitch would try to follow her into the stall. He soon learned that Hope wanted privacy, and stood outside the stall door. Hayley thought it was cute...Weird but cute. It was like he was her watchdog, something Hayley would learn when they reached Austin, Texas.

Hope and Stitch were waiting in the truck as Hayley followed a woman to her car. Hayley had tracked down the last living wolf from the Malraux pack to a bar, where said wolf was celebrating the completion of her hospital residency. Hayley had waited for the wolf to leave the bar instead of confronting her inside. The between the two didn't go so well, so Hayley smashed Keelin's head against her car door and knocked her out.

Finding herself tied to a chair when she woke up, Keelin tried to get out of her restraints. She was approached by Hayley, "If you didn't fight me, you wouldn't be strapped to this chair." Keelin noticed Hayley was holding a mask that was used to extract venom from werewolves. Hayley sighed, "I'm going to put this mask on you and extract some of your venom. I need it to cure my family." Keelin snarled at her, "Then kill me afterwards." Hayley shook her head, "No, you're the last of the Malraux. We may need you again." Keelin struggled against Hayley trying to put the mask on but lost in the end.

After extracting as much venom as she could, Hayley removed the mask. Keelin glared at Hayley but kept her mouth shut for the moment. Hayley then moved to Freya's coffin to wake her by stabbing a syringe into Freya's heart pulling her from the sleep spell. Freya sat up with a gasp before facing Hayley, "Do you have everything?" Hayley nodded and pointed to the table that was set up as her altar. Freya and Hayley worked to make the cure for the bite while ignoring Keelin.

Hayley's attention was drawn to the door of the abandoned warehouse when it opened and Hope and Stitch came in. "Mom, someone's outside," Hope said as she hugged her mom. "Okay, honey. Stay inside with your Aunt Freya. I'll take care of it," Hayley flashed outside, slamming the door behind her. Hope moved closer to Freya but stayed out of her way as her aunt worked to cast a spell to create the cure. Stitch positioned himself between Hope and the door.

Stitch could hear Hayley fighting several vampires. He wanted to help but protecting Hope, his best friend, was his priority. The door swung open and a strangler vampire rushed in and headed straight for Keelin. Since the bound werewolf was close to Hope, Stitch attacked. Not wanting the vampire to hurt Hope, Stitch tackled the vampire and ripped him apart. Freya stopped long enough to see Stitch shake off the blood like a dog with a dismembered vampire at his feet, "Nice." Hope smiled at her aunt, "He's an alien and my friend."

Freya nodded then went back to casting the spell. That's when Hayley came back in, "Stupid vampires. They were tracking Keelin." She saw the mess of a vampire on the floor, lifting an eyebrow in question. Hope smiled and pointed at Stitch, who was scratching his ear with a back paw. "Huh? Don't see that everyday," Hayley moved to Hope to check for injuries. Hope spoke quietly, "Stitch got to him before anyone was hurt." "Well, I'll get him a cookie after everybody wakes up," Hayley stood and moved to an exhausted Freya. Stitch clapped and laughed, "Yay."

The cure was done, now it was time to distribute it. Starting with Elijah, Freya spread some of the concoction on his bite wound before moving to Kol. Then she cured Rebekah. Upon waking, Kol and Rebekah couldn't control their hunger so they left before accidentally killing those in the warehouse.

When they returned, they were shocked to see Hope was with Hayley. She explained, "I didn't have anyone I trusted to leave her with. Mary had left to Alaska four years ago. It's just been myself and Hope, until this little guy came along." It was then everyone noticed Hope holding Stitch, "His name's Stitch. He's an alien." Stitch waved, "Hi." Hayley snorted at the Originals' reaction. She also pointed out the mess of limbs near a tied up Keelin, "That was him. One of Alistair's minions got too close to Hope, so he tore them apart."

Kol smirked, "Definitely fits in with the family." He crouched in front of Hope, "Hello Hope, I'm your uncle Kol." Elijah and Rebekah also reintroduce themselves. Hope can't stop smiling, "Hello. Now, we just have to get daddy, and we're all together again." The adults bar Keelin chuckled. Hayley remembers the bound woman, "Bloody hell. Now, what to do with her." Freya cuts in, "Take her with us. We may need her again."

So, with that decided, the family of Originals, Hayley, Hope, Stitch, and Keelin piled into a stolen SUV and made their way back to NOLA. It was time to rescue Niklaus.

AN: Klaus' rescue is next. Stitch meets Marcel.
