Lynn looks at Willow's contact, deciding if it was a good idea to call. Will she pick up? If she got captured then she wouldn't be able to answer anyways, she also probably got rid of her burn phone. Lynn shakes her head as a heavy sigh leaves her, Willow wasn't captured. The feeling in her guts gives off that she isn't but where is she? The second hideout? No that would be too obvious and it would be too dangerous to lead the federals there. Her mother's home? Absolutely not, Willow's mom believes she is a full-time Nanny for children.

The white-haired woman clenches her jaw as she slips her phone in her back pocket before taking her jacket off the hook, swiftly pulling it on as she heads out of the office and down the narrow hallway towards the back door. The door clucks heavy after being locked once more as she pulls up her hood and heads down the alleyway, she doesn't avoid the puddles as she swiftly heads down the concrete maze towards its only exit. She steps into the bustling crowd of busybodies, she moves swiftly with them and towards a crosswalk.

Lynn smiles sweetly at a little girl that looks over her male caretaker's shoulder, "Why, hello little one, do you like your umbrella?" She asks as she waits for the walk light. "Yes." The little girl replies, her voice quiet by the cause of heavy rain, "It has dinosaurs." She continues as she looks up towards the umbrella then back towards the taller lady. "Why don't you have an umbrella?" The little girl asks as her father starts to move, "Because I don't own one, you have a great day, little one." Lynn replies with a soft smile before swiftly moving past them.

The short-hair female's eyes quickly drift up towards the dark skies as she takes a turn down another alleyway but this time with houses on both sides of her, her dark walnut eyes scan the layouts for the right door. Lynn slows herself down once she spots the barnyard like a dog house and the homemade toy house, smile tugs on her lips as she lends over the white wooden gate and unlocks it.

Lights dimly lit up the colorful pastel curtains as she knocks on the bright green door, the muffled noise quiets as faint footsteps head her way. A few moments pass by before hearing the footsteps move away from her, Lynn lends towards the door. The beginning of her impatience starts to well up as she listens to muffled voices start up once more, she heard a voice come closer but no footsteps.

The door opens to reveal a woman with a ponytail she knew all too well, "Willow." Lynn states as she nods her head towards the shorter woman. "Lynn, what are you doing here?" She asks in a hushed voice as her small hand wraps around the taller's woman covered wrist, pulling her in the colorful house. "Looking for you." Lynn simply replies as she smiles softly at the twins sitting on the floor with their parents behind them, "Aero-" She starts but Willow quickly stops her and pulls her away to a more private area.

"Is she okay?" Willow asks as she shuts the bathroom door and looks up at Lynn with dark sorrow eyes, "Physically, she is but she is emotionally and mentally not. She needs you guys, she told me someone called the feds." Lynn answers as she lends against the wall.

"No, someone sold us out. Someone on the inside!" Willow shouts as pure anger replaces her sorrow, "Someone in our group told those pigs where we were and none of us were prepared!" She frowns as she glares in the mirror. "We all ran like headless chickens." Willow whispers as her shoulders slump, her eyes looking up towards Lynn's. "The last person I thought of for me to lay low at was Jinyung, he let me in even after all these years." Willow looks down at her indoor slippers before feeling a hand on her shoulder.

Lynn rubs her shoulder in silence for a few moments, "I know this has been difficult and it only been a few hours or whatever but let's go before someone finds out you are here." Lynn speaks up as she turns the young girl around. "Look at me," Lynn waits before the midnight eyes to finally look up at her, "We don't need to bring this family into a mess that they didn't even know about. Let's go back to Aero."

Willow's lips tremble as she gives a shaky nod, emotionally tired of worrying about her friend's family and the people after her. They leave the bathroom, Lynn leaves towards the back door to make sure it is clear as Willow says her long goodbyes. Emotional for Willow seen it has been six years since she last has seen Jinyung and his once pregnant girlfriend.

The rain has slowed down to sprinkling but the clouds have gotten darker and the wind is much colder, Lynn looks over her shoulder when she hears the door open. She stands up off the fence before opening the gate, "Let's go before you get sick." Lynn states as Willow gives a weak smile before following the taller woman out and down the alleyway.

They soon merge with a loose and tired crowd, they head towards the crosswalk and wait for the light. Lynn checks her surroundings before her eyes settle on a familiar face, her eyes widen as her impatience for the light skyrockets. She needed to make sure that she is correct before they get too far, looks towards the lights before rapidly pushing the button as Willow looks at her in confusion and worry.

I figured they would be a safer ask then say.... Alternate universe: Harea and Anders....lol i don't want you to hate me.

Alternate universe, like Alistair doesn’t come back? Because I’m not sure they’d be able to have a baby even if they wanted to, what with them both being Wardens and neither of them knowing how to do Morrigan’s ritual.

If they somehow managed to conceive anyway, let’s say after the Qunari invasion they create new life while celebrating being alive because Alistair didn’t have to go to the clinic to look for healing potions, Anders would be overjoyed while Justice would be furious.

Their baby would look nothing like Duncan, because Anders doesn’t have any elf blood in him at all. Their baby would be bigger and taller, paler, and would always look like he doesn’t quite belong with Harea.

But, no matter how much Harea loves Anders or sympathizes with the mages, there’s no way she’s going to stay with him after he blows up the Chantry and starts the war. She’s going to be a single elf mom, two sons (one seven, one three), one of which doesn’t even look like he’s elfblooded, stuck in Kirkwall.

Thea Hawke does end up becoming Viscount, so she might be able to help Harea. But Thea didn’t help Anders at all, didn’t even help him collect the materials, so if she thinks Harea’s part of the problem she might not help.

Say Varric writes to her from Haven, sends her a little money to buy safe passage, and she and the two boys make it. Now Duncan is 9 and Karl (because of course his name is Karl) is 5, and Harea doesn’t have any skills beyond hunting to give to the Inquisition. She and the boys are too thin after living in the Kirkwall alienage with Merrill for two years, and all of them are having nightmares from the Calling. She doesn’t want to tell anyone.

Duncan sets something on fire in his sleep. Karl keeps accidentally freezing the sheets during his nightmares. Harea has two mage boys and no Circles to train them, but also no Circles to threaten to take them away.

Let’s say all three of them survive the attack on Haven healthy and hale. They make it to Skyhold without injury, find themselves somewhere safe to live.

Asha Trevelyan sides with the templars to seal the breach, so they don’t have a lot of mages to train the little ones, but they do have a lot of templars to keep their magic under control. Maybe Harea’s able to find a teacher--maybe when Varric writes Hawke, he has her bring Bethany too--and the boys are safe.

Now what happens when Alistair comes to Skyhold to tell the Inquisitor about what he’s learned about the Wardens’ plans.
