lamia // the librarians
and it’s eve that knocks over the old storybook weeks after tethering; it spits out a long lost foe, a woman who had been betrayed by the terrible man she followed.
the others are wary, but eve had seen lamia in that alternate timeline, the love and loyalty she had possessed toward cassandra. just like she had seen the potential of the LITs as librarians, she had seen the guardian that lamia could be. and eve, for all that she tries her best to protect her charges, is a tethered guardian now. with her new responsibilities, she needs the help.
so she trains her, harder than she has ever trained another human being. lamia is a better weapons specialist to her superior tactics training, and teaches her a new weapon for every training module eve puts her through. gradually, the others warm up to her, and when lamia singlehandedly saves ezekiel from a gorgon by nearly killing herself in his place, they welcome her with open arms.
when flynn asks eve what the best part of having a second guardian is, she smiles and says that her librarians are better protected.
(really, the best part is the monthly coffee dates lamia and she have with nicole where they complain for four hours straight about their librarians, but that’s a secret she’ll happily keep from her husband.)
