Nadine looked at, no stared at Micah. They were serious! Well, she said she was in, didn’t she? And she knew next to nothing about these people, so who was she to object? She laughed a bit. “Well, today has been an adventure already, might as well keep it going! Why not, let’s do it.”

Shara was grinning widely, despite the reality of what was about to happen sitting under the surface. =/\=I got it all fixed up. There’s a nice baby grand delivered to the point we mentioned. The guy who I bought it from was dismayed I wouldn’t let him send out a tuner to make sure it was perfect. I told him to make it spic and span before it left and you’d treat it as if it were your own baby. You will treat it like it’s your own baby, won’t you Husband?=/\= she said, teasing and entirely not. =/\=Oh! And a friend at HQ of mine is sending a crate to that same spot as well. Cleaned out my locker.=/\= Her voice changed, dropping in brightness, ever so slightly more somber.

~Shara & Nadine

=/\= Understood, Wife. We’ll be home in about three or four hours. You might wanna go get something for dinner. Shed out back has everything you’ll need. Love ya, sexy.=/\= and he turned off the comms. He slid the device over to Nadine and said “Call your school, keep it on speaker. Let ‘em know you’ll be gone a few days.” At that point their food arrived and Micah smiled. “Thank you so much. It smells and looks amazing.” and teh waitress smiled and left them to it.

Nadine thanked Leisha and put in the call to her school, quickly getting the principal on the line. “Hey Yamana. Something of a family emergency has come up and I need to be away for two or three days. I know Caitlin is free, so can you get her to cover my class for the rest of the week?”

=/\=Yeah, I can take care of that. Are you okay?=/\=

Well that was the question, wasn’t it? “Yeah, just rather overwhelmed right now and I need to go take care of some things. I just…” Nadine didn’t look at Micah.

=/\=Say no more. We’ll see you next week. Take care of yourself.=/\=

“Will do. Thanks Yamana. Bye.” Nadine closed the call and blew out a breath before turning her attention to her meal. She pulled a slice of the grilled mushrooms out of it’s gooey swiss cheese bed and popped it in her mouth, savouring the bite. “So… fill me in. I know I’m going to learn a lot and it’s going to be a lot to process. But what can you tell me ahead of time. I mean there are things I’m wondered about and I know she’ll answer, but you’re here and we’ve got time to kill, man who is married to my birth mom,” she said, her hazel eyes glimmering slightly wth seeming amusement.

Micah chewed a bite of burger slowly, looking at her as he held the burger in his metal hand. He looked thoughtful… and finally he swallowed and said “Might be easier if you ask me what you wanna know. But we can start here…” and he pulled out his micro-PaDD and pulled up a picture he had taken of Shara and Faye on the Manhattan. He quick edited Faye out… Nadine having a sister was up to Shara to say, not him. He then showed her the picture. “Thats her. So you know why I knew she was your mom when I first saw you.”

Nadine leaned forward and really took in the image. “Whoa,” she said softly. “I mean, there are differences, sure, but the bones of her face alone.” She beamed and looked up at Micah. “From what little I know she’s been all over the place so it was unlikely we’d just randomly run across each other. But I’d still look you know. I’d walk down the street, catching people’s faces to see if there was a resemblance. But there never was.” She pushed the PaDD back and took a bite of her burger.

“So, tell me about you two,” she said before brunching on an onion ring.
