He's not looking for approval? Then why is he so anxious to see the results of this test? That's to gain Ava's approval, I believe. I keep silent, 'tho, recognizing his attempt to bait me. Finally, he does start to explain some of the odd things he's done. He mentions 'controlling' his teleknesis. By that, he seems to mean just supressing it. If it were really in his control he'd be able to use it when he wanted to. He probably scared himself as much as he'd scared his adoptive mother.
"My stepfather grabbed me one time…” he starts, stopping awkwardly before going on. “…he must have startled me or something because he got thrown against the wall.” I nod, my imagination going all sorts of places concering the 'grabbing' that happened. I'm thinking a beating but it might be something worse.
He explains that he can only do things when he's emotional and then surprises me with talk of using a shield to protect his daughter from a fall.
"Really?" I say, raising an eyebrow. "The way you were looking at the energy shield yesterday, I would have thought you'd never seen one before." Still, I do understand this contradiction. Odds are he only saw the one he'd made for a moment and probably half-convinced himself it wasn't real. Especially if he were high at the time.
Following Zan's anxious gaze, I see that the MRI is done. I turn and pick up the hardcopy of the graph and turn the page in the instructions to the descriptions of the various drug profiles. I immediately see that this isn't going to be an easy graph to interpret. It's not one neat substance but many overlapping each other and obscuring the peaks. I immediately notice that there are a lot of aromatic compounds. That doesn't bode well but I need to decipher them before I say anything. All the spikes for marajuana are present and strong, although one seems too high. Must be paired with something-else.
I grab some colored highlighters and start marking off the more obvious compounds, including marajuana, so I can figure out what's next. Occassionally, I put my hand over the test-tube again, looking for the structures in the book. It's a cheat other scientists don't have but I'm happy to use it. Filling in the time, I continue talking to Zan. "Your Uncle Michael had the same problem when he was a bit younger than you. He was a foster child and had several very difficult and even abusive placements. He developed a tough exterior but inside he was very emotionally friable. When he got control of his life and his emotions, he got better control over his powers, too."
I straighten up as I finish my interpretation of the graph. Turning, I show Ava and Zan what I found. I don't think Zan's going to like it. "I don't do this every day and this was a bit more complicated than I'd hoped, but I think I got it sorted," I tell them. "These few peaks together and half of this one show a lot of marajuana. These parts that I marked in blue are esctacy, and these green ones are Zanex." I don't know how Ava defines 'heavy drugs' but I would flip if I found Nat or Nate using any of these. I go down through the list, leaving out some of the very minor spikes that I didn't bother to identify. After all the others, it hardly seemed necessary.
"There is this one small spike here that coupled with this other aromatic spike seems to be Cocaine but it might be Benzacaine," I say, pointing. "It's so minor, I'd wager it was only one exposure and I can't say when in the last two months it happened. I'd have to do a more striated test for that. Spilt the sample into shorter segments." I have a feeling that's not going to happen. Zan was on edge enough for this one. Besides, it's already told the story.

“You sure you don't want anything beyond coffee? We got cereal or oatmeal or stuff like that, do you want those cleaned or anything?" Nate asks and I glance down at my jeans. They were ruined. A new pair would cost over 700 dollars but it’s not like I paid for them in the first place. When your famous designers are begging you to wear their clothes.
“I’m going to make Zanny hand wash these. There ruined but at least it will make me fell better watching him scrub them.” I smile at the thought. I suddenly get a whiff of the food Nate’s been cooking and start to feel a little nauseated. “I’m good with just coffee, I’m still a little hung over from last night.”

Zander
So there’s no real proof either way. That’s good. Why is Ava still glaring? It’s not like I make the results so non conclusive. What the hell did I do now, God I wish she would just say something. I hate feeling like this…guilty or something. I never felt guilty when I got into trouble with my own parents so why does Ava make me feel this way?
“You told me your Zanex prescription ran out and ecstasy? Where did you get ecstasy from?” she asks. Shit. I’d forgotten I had told her my script was out. While it was I found a way to get around that.
“Well…you see…” I start and then decide maybe the truth will be better even if it sounds bad. “There was a doctor I met NYC that was kind enough to write me a new script. He was a really nice bloke.” I tell her and while that is the truth I leave out the sordid details.
Unfortunately I think she reads between the lines because she asks about the Ecstasy next. Oh, that one I can answer easily.
“They pass that stuff out like candy in the Clubs.” I tell her and she nods and seems to be thinking about something. “You lied to me about the Zanex. I’m disappointed in you.” She says and I feel my heart drop and I am already shaking my head in denial.
“I didn’t lie, I did run out, I just didn’t tell you I got it refilled a week later.” I tell her and she sighs. “We’ll talk about this later.” She tells me
That’s good at least she didn’t say anything about rehab or canceling the tour. “Go in the kitchen with Dom and eat something because I know you haven’t. I want to talk to Max for a second.” I nod and start for the kitchen but I decide at the last second to turn around and hug her. “I love you.” I whisper in her ear. It’s not something we say to each other very often but it is something I mean when I say it.
She sighs again and she sounds tired when she says, “I love you too brat but you are still in trouble you know.” I just nod before giving her a quick kiss on the cheek and heading towards the kitchen. There is a little part of me that thinks one day I’ll push her too far and she’ll leave and then I will really be alone.
The kitchen scene is just how I left it. Jayden spots me first thing and reaches for me in the universal ‘pick me up now’ signal. I pick her up off the counter and sit down at the table across from Dominique and plop Jayden in my lap.
“Uncle Nate’s making us breakfast, Daddy.” She says, even though she is only three her accent is already hard to place like mine is. She then looks at me slightly accusing and says, “Real Breakfast.”
I grin at her and say, “I told you cold pizza was a perfectly acceptable breakfast.” She makes a face at me and I just smile.

Ava
After Zan leaves the room I sit down on the futon and put my head in my hands. That boy is giving me grey hairs before my time. Between him and Dom I'n going to be in an early grave before I'm forty.
"I don't know what to do with him anymore." I say because I really don't know how to help Zander any more. What else could I do. I doubt I could get him to go willingily into rehap and even if I did I doubt it would do any good. ANd I know how much he lives for being on stage and performing. Taking him away from that would probally kill him.

After delivering the news, I stay quiet, waiting to see what Ava says. She doesn't seem as surprised as I would be. I can see she's angry but it's almost more disappointment. I don't really understand that.
In a few moments, Zan's gone, after hugging Ava and telling her that he loves her. He loves her. I hadn't seen much of real emotional attachments from him, except maybe to Jayden. I'm glad he feels something but it's just so obvious to me that he's ... broken in some way. Some way that I might have prevented if I'd kept him. Not that he'd be without problems but maybe without THESE problems.
"A prescription to Xanex?" I ask in amazement. I was checking the notes as they talked and I don't understand what I read. "That's for anxiety, isn't it? And it's not for kids." Well, he's nineteen so maybe he doesn't count as a kid pharmacologically, but still. "That can't help his control of his powers." In fact, I'd think it would suppress them, although maybe that would be what he needed to be 'normal' or something like it. The poor kid.
"I don't know what to do with him," Ava says, sounding like she's run out of options.
I frown, feeling sorry for her in a way that I don't remember ever feeling for Tess. Ava is so much more ... human. I put an arm around her shoulder. She's not his mother but she's taken him in and acted like a mother to him. It seems she's tried harder than his adopted mother knows. "I don't how much influence I could have on him, but I'll help you in any way I can."
I sigh, looking out the doorway where he'd just disappeared. I know he didn't get a chance to talk to Ava. He spent the night unconcious here on my futon. "There's so much he still needs to know."
*Nathaniel*
Dominique says she's hungover and I nod, accepting that for a moment before I remember that she's like me. Her mom is a hybrid and she's drinking? Dad has warned me often enough about that. Was he lying? I would offer to fix her pants for her but she seems intent on punishing Zan and I decide not to get in the middle of that.
"Suit yourself," I say. Just then Zan comes in. For a moment, I hesitate. He's a big rock star and all -- but he's also my brother and he looks almost normal now, except for the eyes. He takes Jayden from the counter and sits down as Jayden happily explains what we've been doing, calling me 'Uncle Nate." I like that. I hope Zan doesn't think I'm pushing things.
"Breakfast is ready," I say, putting the eggs and bacon on some plates. I set one in front of Jayden and give her a fork. I put a cup of coffee in front of Dominque and another in front of Zan.
"Would Jayden like some milk or orange juice?" I ask. Turning to Zan, I have to add with a smile. "She's a lovely little lady and she was a big help."

Max comes and sits beside me, putting a comforting arm around my shoulder. "I don't how much influence I could have on him, but I'll help you in any way I can." He says and I nod my thanks. To tell the truth I don’t know how much influence anyone could have on Zander. I’ve tried, God knows I’ve tried to get through to him but nothing ever works. Technically he’s a adult now, but even as a teenager he was independent and I didn’t meet him until he was almost 16, by then the damage had been done.
"There's so much he still needs to know." Max says glancing at the doorway Zan just left through. “Yeah, Dominique never even knew the whole story. I told her we were different and had to hide our abilities but how do you explain to your kid that you’re a reincarnated alien?”
I think back to Max’s other questions about the Xanex and Zan controlling his powers. “He’s been on the Xanex for about two years. He had a panic attack on stage and a doctor prescribed it to him.” I say remembering that night. “The band started performing there song Wasteland and Zan just ran off stage in the middle of the song and locked himself in his dressing room. He hasn’t performed that song live since then.”
“But I wonder if something else is affecting his powers. He’s either suppressing them on his own or there is a block on them and only another alien would be able to put a block on a kid’s powers.” I say thinking aloud. “Maybe you could do a scan on him just to make sure.” I ask Max.

I listen as Ava explains that she never told Dominque the whole story. I figured that out last night. I assume she's been brought up to speed by now. Then she wonders aloud about how to tell someone that story. I'm about to tell her about how Liz and I managed it but I wait to give her a moment. Before I speak, she goes on to explain about the Zanex. Was 'Wasteland' the song about child abuse? It would explain his emotional reaction if it is, although all of his songs seem pretty personal and very dark.
“But I wonder if something else is affecting his powers. He’s either suppressing them on his own or there is a block on them and only another alien would be able to put a block on a kid’s powers. Maybe you could do a scan on him just to make sure," Ava says.
"Yeah sure, if he'll let me," I say. It hadn't occurred to me that Zan's powers might have been blocked by some outside force. Would Ava have done that? Or Khivar? What would they have gained? Maybe Khivar did it so he could declare Zan 'human' and lose a rival claimant to his -- or MY -- throne? I don't know if Zan would trust me enough to let me evaluate him like that. "Although, the fact that he can do it some of the time would make me think it's not external. It's worth checking."
I really don't like that Zan's on so many drugs. We've been careful to keep the kids free from all drugs, even cold remedies or such, since we weren't sure how they'd affect them. I was always able to be sure they didn't need medicine, anyway, and now Nate can heal himself, too. I wonder if the healing stones could help get Zan off his physical dependancy. The emotional dependancy would be a lot harder, assuming he even was willing to try...
"As for telling the whole story, with Nate and Natalie, we just always told them that they were different and eventually told them they were part alien. They were about nine when they came and wanted to know all about Antar and we just told them then, although we never told them about Zan." I sigh, knowing that telling Zan won't be as easy as that. There's so much more to the story that I really don't think he'd be ready to hear.
I remember then that Ava doesn't know the story, either. Turning to her, I give it a try. "There's things you don't know, too. Things I can't tell Zan. Nacedo and Tess were in league with Khivar. When she came here, she drove a wedge between me and Liz and Isabel and Michael, all our friends. She killed our friend Alex. Then she -- she mindwarped me into having sex with her. That's when Zan was concieved," I say. It's hard to even say the words, to remember how she used me, how she betrayed us all. I push those thoughts aside and push on.
"She used her pregnancy as a trick to get us to return to Antar, where Khivar was waiting to kill us all. Liz found out in time and we didn't go, but Tess did. I let her go to save the baby. She took the Granolith and gave it to Khivar -- but she came back with Zan. He was actually born there, on Antar. Tess claimed he was completely human and Khivar was trying to kill him."

Zan comes to the kitchen and sits down with Jayden in his lap. I’ve always lived Zanny in daddy mode. You almost forget the other side of him when you see him holding his baby girl. Nate sits a coffee cup in front of me and I am grateful.
I narrow my eyes in Zan’s direction, silently blaming him for not being at the motel to distract me from the vodka. If Zan had been there I would have been too busy making sure he didn’t fall into the pool and drown to think about drinking. \
“I hope you know you will be buying me two pairs of pants for the one pair that you ruined Zanny!” I tell him still narrowing my eyes at him. If the punk thinks he is getting away with ruining my pants he has another thing coming and if he refuses to replace the pants I will be hiding his eyeliner from him for months to come.
~Michael~
I awake to an empty house and wonder where my kids are. Maybe they stayed at Max’s. I roll over to kiss my wife good morning and find her missing as well. She’s always gone these days. Things haven’t been going well for us. The constant fighting and the never seeing each other, I have a feeling she has a fuck buddy some where but for now I’ll let it go. We aren’t the same madly in love kids we had once been.
I shower and dress grabbing two donuts and coffees to go from the café. I make my way to the motel. Climbing out of the car and walking to the room I had last seen Drake in. Max told me to watch him. At least I can offer him breakfast. I knock on the door and wait for him to answer.

"Here you go," I say as I set a glass of milk in front of Jayden, still sitting on her father's lap, as Dominque starts to tear into him about her jeans. I'm glad she's not mad at me. Well, actually, she's kinda cute even when she's mad like that. It's not nearly as bad as seeing Aunt Maria mad. Now that's a sight to see!
I was kinda busy making breakfast before. I should have been trying to get closer to her while Zan wasn't around. Now he's here and I don't think I can risk trying to flirt with her. Don't need him attacking me again. I definately have to put that on the list for the next time we're apart from him again. I really want to talk to her.
I pour myself a cup of coffee and lean against the counter, keeping a careful distance between myself and Dominque, while waiting for an appropriate time to join the conversation.

I was kinda busy making breakfast before. I should have been trying to get closer to her while Zan wasn't around. Now he's here and I don't think I can risk trying to flirt with her. Don't need him attacking me again. I definately have to put that on the list for the next time we're apart from him again. I really want to talk to her.
I pour myself a cup of coffee and lean against the counter, keeping a careful distance between myself and Dominque, while waiting for an appropriate time to join the conversation.

I sit there stunned at Max’s story. I had no idea it would be so complicated and I can’t believe that my dupe would betray her king, but isn’t that what Lonnie and Raith did? I just can’t imagine betraying anyone like that. But then something sticks in my mind.
“Wait a second, if Zan was born on Antar, he wouldn’t have survived on Antar if he was Human. That’s why our blood cells are different, so we could survive on both planets.” I say remembering a science lesson our protector gave us before he took off to who knows where. But why would Tess have lied about that and if Khivar really has the Granolith then we all are screwed.
