#like the bureau they find has amunet as the mentor?

What if Desmond, Ezio, Altair, and Edward time traveled back in time during the Romans?

I was wondering if we could add Aquilus to this but since you specified female gladiators and the page did specify that female gladiators were banned around 200 AD/CE, that meant they would have to travel further back in time before Aquilus was born.

(Although… it would definitely be funny if this whole time travel shenanigans meant one of them is the ancestor of Aquilus… I think it would be funny if it’s Desmond but, let’s be real, it’ll probably be the Auditore line with Ezio or Edward)

Now, since they all time traveled together, the main problem would be keeping all of them together. Let’s say they time traveled during the height of their ‘power’ so that would be perhaps around or after AC Bloodlines for Altaïr, Brotherhood timeline for Ezio, during the pirating days of Edward (and before the end of the Golden Days of Piracy) and… of course, the day Desmond dies for Desmond.

In this case, Desmond would get Ezio on his side by just saying he’s Desmond. Altaïr would get roped into them because Ezio knows and respects Altaïr and Desmond knows Altaïr enough to know what words to say to keep him from wandering on his own.

This means that Edward is the wildcard. At this point in his life, he pretty much thinks of the Brotherhood as some kind of cult. If anything, the only reason why he’ll stay with them is because he has no other choice and, at least, this Desmond understands his English. (this is, of course, if we assume that getting time traveled didn’t automatically make them speak the current language in Rome)

This doesn’t help by the fact that he feels annoyance every time Desmond looks at him because at times, he would look at Edward like he’d seen a ghost, other times he would look at Edward and look so sad…

Then…

There were times when Desmond would look around and seem dejected for some reason before glancing at Edward as if to say ‘why you?’

Like Edward had taken the spot of someone more worthy in Desmond’s eyes.

And it is during one of those times that Edward wanders off, trying to find someplace to get drunk.

The others later find him watching female gladiators fighting and they’re all thinking “wait… women were also gladiators???”

For some reason, I can just see Altaïr covering Desmond’s eyes because the women are quite naked then they later find out that Edward had been busy…

Creating a drunken betting pool on who would win.

Unorganized Notes:

Their main objective is to find a way to back to their time period although they do get sidetracked once they learned that there is a Hidden One bureau nearby.

Desmond actually isn’t sure if he should return to his time period because there’s a risk that it would just end up with him finally finishing his death.

Altaïr and Ezio had, on separate occasions, suggested he come with them back to their timeline.

Even Edward had suggested it but he emphasized he was drunk and has no recollection of such an offer (he was lying)

Ezio would definitely be the one to try and create a Brotherhood while they’re there.

Altaïr would be too busy sneaking into places with information and books they might not even need but are interesting nonetheless.

Edward does whatever he wants which ranges from getting drunk to stealing from the rich, sometimes even both at the same time.

Ezio’s growing Brotherhood has a lot of female recruits and allies. He insists it is not because he was charming them. Desmond believes him because he knows Ezio would not stoop that low. Altaïr half-believes him because he trusts Desmond’s judgment but he also knows Desmond trusts Ezio (and him) too much. Edward doesn’t really care either way and just likes to joke about it.
