*Nathaniel*
I frown a bit as Dad mentions that Jayden's better at her powers than I was. I know it doesn't matter but I don't really want to be in competition with a little girl. Dad introduces me in French and I do my best to nod intelligently. I've taken two years of German but only one year of French. This girl will leave me in the dust if she keeps up in that language.
Thankfully, she switches to English when she says she's hungry. After some talk about Jayden's mother, Zan goes to get changed. It definately doesn't seem that Brigette is going to be an easy person to deal with. I wonder how she and Zan got together in the first place. Maybe she was different then.
"I'll get you something to eat, Jayden," I promise the little girl, as I stoop, half kneeling, to put my face near her level. "Do you want some cereal or toast? I can make you some eggs. Whatever you like."

Zan leaves to go get changed and Nathaniel kneels down eye level to Jayden. "I'll get you something to eat, Jayden, Do you want some cereal or toast? I can make you some eggs. Whatever you like."
Jayden looks to me and I give her a encouraging smile she usually doesn't interact with strangers at all but she seems more relaxed here. I wonder if she sences that Nate and Max are like us.
"Can I have some toast and eggs please." she asks and I think god that somehow she learned manners somewhere along the way. Certainly her parents didn't teach her. I'm surprised she's not cussing like a sailor by now the way Zan and Bridgette don't bother to censor there language around her. Sometime I think she's more mature than they are.
I finally turn to Max. "The band has a photoshoot in the desert today and we still need to find somewhere so they can practice before the Concert. We can't just put our lives on hold because of this threat but I really don't know what else to do about it besides wait for them to come to us."

"Toast and eggs it is," I say, smiling at Jayden. I wasn't sure if she was going to answer me and the fact that she did makes me oddly happy. I'm glad she didn't ask for crepes. I can try pancakes but they take such a long time. Actually, as it's probably closer to lunch by her time, I guess she might have asked for lunch food. I wonder what they eat for lunch in France?
"That sounds great. I'm hungry, too, so I'll make enough for both of us. You wanna come to the kitchen with me and keep me company?" I ask.
*Max*
Nathaniel seems to know how to talk to Jayden. I wonder where he learned that?

I nod, thoughtfully. She's right. We need to get as much info as we can but I have a feeling there won't be much to get. "I could offer you my garage but I know your group is beyond that." I'm sure they need better accoustics, not to mention security from any fans who might figure out where they are. "I'll ask Maria. She might be able to call in some favors and free up some time for you."
I pick up the phone and dial the Guerin's number. As it's ringing, I turn to Ava again and comment, "Maybe Michael will have some information from Drake that we can use."

OOC: I'm sorry Isabelle, I know I messed up, I pormise to always read fully before posting in future, skimming is a recipe for disaster *sigh*. Since you're so insistant, I'm putting this back up, but I am really sorry...

Things at the diner unfortunately get busy, and since I don't hear anything from Max, I assume that I should stick with the diner as a priority however much I might want to do otherwise. When I'm finishing, I head up visit with mum, just for a while, but end up staying longer because she's not doing so well. I do intend to go home after, but I must have been a lot more tired than I had thought, and the next thing I know I'm waking up on the couch in the apartment above the diner. There's a blanket over me, which I'm guessing would be thanks to dad, and as I look around, I see it's still pretty early.
I really should have gone home, of course I should. I just hope that Max hasn't been worrying... That's the last thing he needs considering everything, and while he knew I was popping in to see mom on the way home, I was supposed to be being quick and getting back a reasonable time, because we have a lot to talk about with the kids...or did last night, I'm guessing some of that was done before they went to bed, and I know I should have been there...
"Morning honey..."
Looking around, I see dad hanging around the doorframe, a small smile on his face. "I just didn't have the heart to wake you up last night...sorry... Max called to see if you were still here, which you were of course, but he said to let you sleep..."
I shake my head, assuring him it's okay, following it up quickly with asking how mom is as I sit up and grab my bag, hunting for my phone to check for any message Max might have left. I feel really bad for not having gone home last night, I know there were some heavy things to deal with, and I hate myself for leaving him to do that alone. I just meant to be ten minutes when I came up here, that was all... But mom wasn't feeling well, and I ended up staying longer... Then I guess the hours I've been pulling at home and work caught up with me... How could I fall asleep at a time like this though....? Considering everything that's going on, Zan, Ava, not to mention Drake...
"She's been better, but she's been worse too..." He responds softly, and as I catch the waver in his voice, I push back the blanket quickly, standing up and crossing over to give him a hug. He smiles as he pulls back. "I'm sorry you ended up staying here honey, I know you meant to keep it short last night..."
"It's okay..." I assure him quickly with a brief, reassuring smile, although still feeling guilty for not rejoining Max and the kids, pressing to call our home number just to see that everything's okay, and tell them that I'll be back shortly.
The phone rings on the other end and the machine picks up quickly. "Hey honey, I'm sorry, mom had a bad night so I went to see her after my shift and apparently fell asleep while I was there...I'm coming home now...love you..." I leave a quickly message and then I turn back to dad, asking him to tell mom I'll try and call in again later today, before heading down the stairs and out the back to where the car. Really it's mostly used for Crashdown business, because I can walk to work and back pretty easy on the occassions that Max doesn't pick me up, but it's mine to use if I need to, and right now I just want to get home...
Ten minutes later or so, I'm turning onto our road but an unfamiliar car parked outside the house gives me pause for thought and I quickly park before hurrying up the path and letting myself in. "Max...?"

OOC -- Jayden's behavoir was approved by Athenea and used with permission.
*Nathaniel*
Jayden nods, agreeing to come with me to the kitchen. "Great," I tell her with a warm smile as we walk from the den. "Uncle Nate will get you some hot breakfast in no time. Maybe we'll even cook something for your dad and the others, eh?" I ask as if we're in a secret conspiracy. It's only after the words leave my mouth that I realize what I said. 'Uncle Nate.' I'd meant it just as a friendly grown-up but in fact, I am her uncle. Dad hadn't mentioned being her grandfather when he introduced himself. I guess we're letting that slide for now, afterall, she's had quite a few shocks already. I guess I better hold my tongue and follow suit for now. Still, I hope I do get a chance to tell her that I am her family, too.
As we walk out towards the kitchen, I spot Dominque in the living room. "Oh, hey," I say, coming to a stop in the doorway and smiling. That's a sight to make any morning sunny. "I didn't realize you'd come, too. I was just taking Jayden to get some breakfast. Would you like an egg, too?"
I feel an urge to scoop Jayden up and carry her on my hips and I do. I'm surprised that she lets me but I'm very glad. Then the front door opens and Mom steps in. "Max...?" she asks.
"Back in the den with Ava and Zan," I tell her.

"I didn't realize you'd come, too. I was just taking Jayden to get some breakfast. Would you like an egg, too?" I hear Nate ask. I quickly put down the picture of him I had been holding and turn to see him holding my Jayden. I smile at the image.
As soon he has asked me if I want an egg Liz asks where Max is. Nate tells her and I answer his question about the egg. “I don’t eat eggs but coffee would be great.” I say.
I wonder where Zan has run off too, along with my pants that he borrowed yesterday.

I step into the bathroom and lean against the door for a moment before I take a look in a mirror. I sneer at my reflection. I swear I look fourteen without any make up on. I wonder who took it off in the first place. Someone had to take it off else it would just look smeared.
I quickly take off the ugliest shirt I have ever wore and drop it to the floor before pulling a black long sleeved t shirt out of my bag. It’s one of my favorite ones. It’s just a regular long sleeved t shirt but it has little holes cut all in it and has the words ‘I’M EVIL’ in red lettering. What can I say, it suits me.
I don't even glance at the freaking bite mark the bastard left on me. I know its still there and I rather not think about last night and what mightof happened if the sheriff hadn't come in. Besides I'll get my revenge either way.
I pull on a pair of black jeans that also have holes all in them. I’m not sure where I left my shoes so I leave my socks off for now. The pants I 'borrowed' from Dominique look aweful and I'm sure she'll give me hell for it especially since it looked like someone tried to tear them off of me but I'll just tell her they got messed up in a fight. She''ll buy that.
I dig through the bag and thankfully find a black eyeliner. I do my eyes quickly (I’ve had years of experience after all) and get my stuff together before walking out the bathroom door...
