(Part 1) Y/N had inherited the house her 8-great-grandmother's house. For the past four generations the women of the family had been fixing what needed to be fixed, just for the child who would eventually live in it. This was the day she moved in.
It was a nice Virginia home, a white plantation with a black trim, The inside was absolutely beautiful as well. Dark wood staircases leading to the second lever from the foyer, Small pieces of dark furniture littering the sitting room. The seats in the room were dark wood with an ivory-colored fabric, and a beautiful boquet of pink Roses, Tulips, and Lilies, with bouts of white hydrangeas here and there was on the entry table.
Y/N investigated the flowers, and saw a note under the vase. She picked it up and read "Y/N, This is your home now. It's all fixed and ready to be lived in. This is a little help for you, so you can get a feel for what you like in the many rooms of this home. You just wasted time reading this, Go explore the house! - love, mom."
Y/N laughed to herself and went to explore, immediately finding an attic. She climbed up into it and suprisingly the floor didn't creak or break under her. Looking around, Y/N saw the cluttered mess that was her new attic. Deciding to go through it and start cleaning, Y/N went to work.
About an hour into cleaning the house, Y/N found a box with glass balls in it. Each one had a name and a date on them, but the one that she payed the most attention to was one that read '1756, Hercules Mulligan'. She reached out and held it, gently dusting off the entire ball when the thing almost literally jumped out of her hand and smashed onto the ground.
"Wait!" Y/N yelled to no one in particular when the ball 'jumped' out of her hand and smashed. Almost immediately a swirl of smoke danced slowly out of the shattered glass and swirled upwards, and dissapated, leaving a man behind. "Wh-What? Who? Why?" She stuttered, the man asking "Where am i?" Almost immediately. "Virginia, 2016." She stated, confused, "Who are you?" She asked him. "I'm hercules mulligan, and did you say 2016?" He was clearly confused, "And if i may ask, who are you?"
After a few hours of the both of them explaining, and him being absolutely crushed Y/N didn't know any of his friends (and also them being long dead), she almost forced him to stay, because "Two thousand dollars will only buy you a small apartment and a really overpriced coffee, here". They ate something Y/N and her mother put in the refrigerator and agreed to go back to exploring.
(Part 2) Y/N and Hercules walked around the plantation, Finding many bedrooms, a Parlor to the left (and right) of the foyer, a dining hall, a study, a office, and a lot of bathrooms. Y/N giggled when they found a sewing room. Although he denied this, the reason why Y/N giggled was because Hercules, a big tough (Says he's a revolutionary fighter which could be completely accurate) man squealed.
A few hours, and a couple squeals later, it was dark. "Oh wow. We've spent all day exploring..." Y/N mumbled in amusement. "I'll make dinner, you find a place to sleep tonight?" She asked. "Yeah. That sounds like a good idea. But before we do, could we look in the attic again for my friends? I know we looked, what? Six times?" "Nineteen times" Y/N stated bluntly. "Yeah, but i still want-" "Look, Hercules. I know it's hard without your friends and those who shared your experiences, But i can't keep going on forever to look. You can't keep going on forever to look. We skipped lunch looking, i didn't eat breakfast today because i found you... I'm really hungry and i can't keep going up there every five minutes to do something we did several times before. I'm really sorry, hercules. But i'm going to go eat, and then go to bed." Y/N said, then left a bewildered Hercules in the middle of a hallway.
Y/N had finished cooking when she heard a loud bang from upstairs. She put the food on the counter and ran up to the attic, where she found a Red Coat, surrounded by dissapating smoke and glass shards, Holding a recently fired gun. The man aimed his gun to her, that's when Hercules socked him right in the jaw. Y/N found some glass balls without names or dates on them, and picked one up. She scanned the area around the Brit and saw a ring on the ground.
"That's it!" Y/N exclaimed. She took the ring and looked around in the empty glass balls for something that would hold the ring. As the Red Coat rose and re-aimed his gun, Y/N had found a ball that would take the ring. She put the ring in the hole that would hold it, just as she heard Hercules yell her name, and the Red Coat shoot. Suddenly, the world seemed to pause. Her Great times 8 grandma swirled out of the dust and glass shards into form.
"Hello dear. I'm (Random name). I'm your, as you say, Great times 8 grandmother. You have inherited my power to lock beings into objects. I choose a glass ball because they look so mystical. Anyway, enough with that, I'm here to tell you something. Now that you have exposed your power, you will be able to see the beings that are locked into the crystal balls." The form said. "Oh. Wait grandma, did you by chance lock anyone who goes by the name of Alexa-" "Alexander Hamilton. I almost did, once... He escaped me to go chase that one girl... Eliza, i believe it was. Anyway, i have none of your friend's revolutionary buddies anywhere. But I lock the beings for a reason. They need to love, and to be loved. The question you need to ask, is: 'What is your reason?' " the figure asked as she vanished.
(Part 3) Hercules didn't know what happened, but as soon as the Red Coat shot the bullet, he dissapeared. And Y/N stood up, her E/C eyes slightly glowing. "Y/N?" He asked quietly.
About three years after the incident with the Red Coat, Hercules had (in order) apologize profusely for a whole month, help life go back to "Normal" for two weeks, and develop a crush for the last month and a half. Now, Hercules looked tough, but he was a big softy. And the things he's seen Y/N do to intruders, it made her seem like the opposite of him. But nonetheless, He decided to tell her his feelings, and here's how he'll do it.
First, He'll line the halls with her favorite flower, all the way to the dining room. Second, he'll have her favorite dinner prepared. Third: After they eat, A warm chocolate cake with melted milk chocolate and three scoops of vanilla ice cream will be dessert. Fourth: after dessert is finished, they'll take a walk in the garden, Y/N liked to look at the stars, so he thought this would be best. Fifth: Finally, at the koi pond in the middle of the garden, He will confess his affections, and hope she'll feel the same.
When Y/N got home, she was completely confused. The halls were lined with F/F. She got curious and followed to where they lead. She got into the Dining room and sat down, Hercules brought out food and made plates. "Herc, what's all this?" She asked. "Step two." He answered simply, leaving Y/N confused as hell. After eating, the cake was brought out, And Y/N and Herc dug in. After that, they took a walk in the garden. Hercules unknowingly tripped on a rock, to which Y/N laughed and helped him up. Finally, reaching the Koi pond, Hercules stopped and faced Y/N.
"Y/N, I did all this tonight to show you that I love you." He spoke softly and full of care. Y/N smiled and started to laugh. Herc didn't understand. Everything went right, other than him tripping, why is Y/N laughing??? "Herc, i know that. I've known that for at least the last two weeks. I was just waiting to tell you because you seemed so intent on this plan." She said, with a smile. Herc nodded, but couldn't look up. Y/N's smile faded quickly as she started to worry. "Oh my god, herc are you okay?" She questioned, getting on her knees and looking up at him. She saw he was crying and whispered "Oh herc, i'm sorry i scared you so badly." She kissed his cheek and smiled "But you didn't have to do all this to tell me you love me."

A few hours later:
"So what's the politics like now?" He asked
"Oh god, you don't wanna know." She answered
