#hence Nate and Sophie being thrown in there- and Sterling

The Old Guard x Leverage Crossover Ideas

This is just me trying to inspire someone else enough to write something because this is the most I’ve written in months and can’t see myself adding to.

Inspired by this post 

Eliot dies first, obviously, and he dies protecting Parker and Hardison.

It was an explosion and he covered the two of them with his body. 

Parker is crying and trying to help Hardison carry him out but the police are already outside and they can’t get him out through the vents. So unfortunately they have to leave him, not noticing that his burns were healing.

So they’re back at their apartment, crying together, when Eliot walks in annoyed that they left him passed out. (He had to beat up some cops just to be allowed to leave)

He’s not even that injured he says with absolutely no visible injury in sight 

Parker is convinced he’s a ghost for at least a week 

they’re still not sure if she believes he’s real or not.

Cue TOG crew trying to find him but as stated in the linked post above their constantly changing activities and locations it’s incredibly difficult.

But then Hardison has some mundane death- in their line of work it could be something like a jump gone wrong like on a date. 

He's dead for a moment and then comes back and Parker can’t handle the emotions of it happening again and runs off to somewhere else for a while. 

They let her go because honestly they’re freaked out as well and know she needs her space. After a week or so she returns to their apartment and it’s business as usual.

Now TOG crew is getting flashes from two people, still changing identities and they're still not sure who or where they are but they always see both of those people and some crazy blonde doing death-defying stunts in almost every dream. 

So now they are wondering if there's a second group of immortals that they're just becoming aware of now? 

Maybe all three of them given how much the third person seems to love tempting fate/death?

But they're still no closer to finding them. The closest they'll get is finding an old ad for a baseball player or lawyer that somehow no longer exists.

Once Nile swears she saw them on the news, but when they check it out later they can't find any evidence online. 

But then the Leverage offices are attacked, they're not sure why (until Hardison gets access to a computer of course)  

Cue Hardison and Eliot being pretty sure they're immortal or something at this point so they're going back and forth trying to protect the other and Parker. 

But suddenly Parker is not behind them anymore and the shooting has stopped.

Parker’s still up and walking around, but with bullet holes closing up including one on her neck. She’s coughing up bullets as her loves watch with horror that quickly turns to relief and happiness.

Old Guard group gets flashes of Parker's death and they finally think they have a lead- I mean, some guys shot up a building in broad daylight we should be able to find something

But when they arrive all they find is an angry Agent James Sterling, who agrees to help them find the three 

(one of the trio's cases interfered with an investigation and they wiped all his data- he needs it back thank you very much).

They don't know how Sterling knows the trio and they don't ask.

But then Nate and Sophie show up and make fun of him but eventually arrange a meeting between the three parties.

After the two groups leave together, Nate, Sophie, and James go out for a drink because immortality is taking everything they’ve dealt with just a step too far.

OR

Imagine Nate’s story to Agent Casey in the finale was true- or at least in part. Like all three of them die for the first time in the van/ in the river and he thought they died and then they get the bodies and it’s not them and Nate just kind of goes along with it- trusting his team- until they get back to the brew pub. He’ll 100% take credit for the plan and holds his questions until they’re back in front of him again (that’s why he and Sophie can finally leave).
