    Summary

    There was something about the Renaissance that was both incredibly overwhelming as well as painfully familiar.
    In many ways, it felt like home. In other ways, it was nothing like Desmond had expected it to be.

    The Animus was not entirely accurate in its depiction of the time. It left some things out and changed others but it was definitely close enough for Desmond to get by. Rome was very different from how it was in Desmond’s time but the layout was mostly the same as were the larger buildings like the Colosseum and the Vatican.

    It made Desmond believe everything had all been a bad dream. That he was still underneath Villa Auditore, hiding from the Templars while spending countless hours inside the Animus. Only when he got out of the Temple and got to the surface did he realise that this was not the case. This was not just Heavy Bleeding, like Desmond experienced the past few weeks, this was real. Terrified at the implications, Desmond did what he had been taught to do best.

    He hid.

    Summary

    Formerly named ‘Guardian Angel Out Of Time’
    ----

    Desmond just watched at first.

    It had taken days to realise where he was, or rather, when he was. Desmond was half convinced he was in a coma or a long-lasting Bleeding episode at first. But it was not the Bleeding Effect, nor did Desmond seem to be in another coma.

    He was not in the Animus, but in real world Renaissance Florence.

    By the time Desmond finally seemed to snap out of his daze, he stumbled upon the Piazza della Signoria where a large crowd was gathered.

    He recognised this scene, though the last time he saw it, he had arrived on the opposite side of the piazza. The last time he had been watching through the eyes of Ezio.

    Watching the crowd move, Desmond found himself stopping a nearby woman, “Scusi, signora, but would you happen to know today's date?”

    “December 29th.”

    Desmond’s eyes were wide in disbelief. “And the year?”

    “1476.”

    December 29th, 1476.

    The day the Auditore family was executed.
    —-

    Or Desmond proves to be increasingly impulsive and Isu Tech seems to hold a grudge against him.

    Summary

    The diner was found by accident. The rain was impossible and freezing, roaring down from the sky in sideways sheets that turned the asphalt into a strip of Teflon. It was dangerous conditions for a car, let alone a motorcycle.

    Or: There is a reason Happy keeps going back to the diner, and it's not the pie.
