Zan
“I hope you know you will be buying me two pairs of pants for the one pair that you ruined Zanny!” Dominique starts in on me and I just roll my eyes as I pull out my wallet and throw a credit card at her. I wish she would lay off about the pants though its not something I want to think about or remember right now. I’ve got enough on my mind as it is.
“Buy what you want.” I say giving in. She could max out the card for all I care. It’s not like I can’t afford it. I take a sip of my coffee but what I really want is a cigarette. I pull out my pack and sit it on the table and stare longongly at it but I don’t pull one out. Ava has ingrained it in my head that it is rude to smoke in other people’s houses. So I will try and wait.

“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.” Ava says.
I nod. "If I'd realized that, I never would have given him away. Tess lied about so many things. Before Zan was born, she'd said he wasn't human enough to live on Earth, but when she came back she said he was wholely human. I had connected with him, looking for alien powers, and tested his blood, too. But at that age, it didn't show. I didn't know it was normal to appear human even if alien traits would come later." I sigh, shaking my head. So many mistakes that could have been avoided if we'd been given real information growing up. Of course, it was clearly Nacedo's intent to be sure we didn't know the truth so we couldn't avoid his plan.
"The FBI and the Air Force had captured Tess' ship and were after her and the baby. I was afraid they'd find me and they'd hurt him. I thought he'd be safer away from me. I didn't know..." I say. At the time, it seemed like the right decision based on the information I did have. Only now do I see the results of it.
"Thank you for looking out for him these last few years."

Something isn’t right. Zanny doesn’t just hand his credit card over, especially to me but I take the card. I look at the pants again. The buttons turn off. I shudder at a thought but then decided maybe it wasn’t that. The pants weren’t really important I just like giving Zanny hell.
I quickly change the subject to my Mum. “Zanny where’s Ava? Didn’t she say something about a photo shoot?”

I nod as Max finishes telling me about Tess and the ship. It must have been a chaotic time for him. I can understand he wanted Zan far away from that.
"Thank you for looking out for him these last few years." He says and I shake my head in denial. “I haven’t done a very good job with him, there’s no need to thank me.”
“I know he seems like a handful, but he really does have a good heart, he’s just a little lost. And I don’t want you to think that he is the way he is because of you.” I say turning towards Max. “You did what you thought was best and that’s all anybody can really do in this world.”
Zan
Dom asks about Ava and says something about a photo shoot and I am relieved she changed the subject. “Ava’s talking to Max. Probably about you because you are such a problem child and all.” I say smirking at her and then I stop teasing her because I realize Nathaniel is still there. I had almost forgotten about him.
It’s weird to think about but this boy is my brother. How weird is that? I’m not sure I know how to be a brother. Then I remember the fight and try and not cringe.
“Look, about hitting you… I probably shouldn’t have done that. I get mad and I don’t think things through sometimes.” I say. There that’s as close to a apology as he or anyone for that matter is going to get from me.

I give a slight smile at Zan's words. Does that mean he wouldn't have attacked me if he knew that we were brothers? Nah. I have a feeling he would have been pissed at anyone he thought was hitting on Dom. I'm not really sure what he means.
"The hitting wasn't any problem," I say, my smile broadening a bit. He hit like a girl. Nothing to be fussed about. "The nose was a bit different, but there's no harm done. "I have our Dad's powers too so I was able to fix it up." I turn my head to display my nose.
"Kinda weird 'though. I never imagined I'd had a brother. Especially one who was a famous rock star. How do you feel about all this alien craziness? I'm guessing it'll be worse than just an obsessed fan." All my life I've known that there were people, human or alien, who'd love to kill me but I was safe because nobody knew who I was. Now it seems that they do know. I'm not sure yet how scared I am but Dad seems calm enough and I'm trying to take my cue from him.

“You did what you thought was best and that’s all anybody can really do in this world." Ava says.
'In this world.' Or on Antar, either, I suppose. Still, I can't agree with her that it's not my fault Zan is the way he is. Yeah, I made the best choice I could at the time, but this is the result of that choice. A kid who's killing himself with drugs, hiding from an abusive past; a kid who doesn't know who he is. But Khivar knows. He's out to kill my family and that includes Zan and a three-year-old girl who's never hurt anyone.
"Thanks," I say, because I know she's trying to help even if I don't agree with her. I remember over the years on rare occassions feeling intense bits of emotion, fear, pain from my children. A few times it was Nathaniel or Natalie, but those other times ... it was Zan. Still connected to me like he was when he was still on Antar. I wonder if one of those times was the panic attack that lead to the Zanex.
Tess clearly knew he wasn't fully human. She wasn't decieved herself. She lied to us. Again. If I find out she isn't really dead, she'll have a lot to answer for.
"How do you think he'll take it when we tell him who he really is?" I ask. Ava knows this boy a lot better than I could hope to.

Sorry so short, I'm having a bit of muse issues with this story. We also seem to be losing characters left and right here. Isabelle would you want to temp for Liz in this since Kat's not going to be able to play her for awhile, I'd really love to get her in here somewhere, she hasn't met Zan yet.

"How do you think he'll take it when we tell him who he really is?" Max asks me and I think about that for a second.
"I'm not sure, I mean that isn't who he really is, is it? I never really considered my past life as who I was in this life. Have you? We're not who we were on Antar, not really. So I'm not really sure how that would effect our kids."
Zan
"Kinda weird 'though. I never imagined I'd had a brother. Especially one who was a famous rock star. How do you feel about all this alien craziness? I'm guessing it'll be worse than just an obsessed fan." Nate says to me.
"I haven't really had time to process it all yet. And you'd be surprised how scary some of my 'obsessed' fans can get." I reply

OOC- Sorry so short. I will post some thing better next time....Promise
~Dom~
I sit drinking my coffee as Nate and Zan talk. I have to remember to rub it in Zan’s face latter that I want to fuck his brother. I grin at the expression Zan will most likely give me for the comment.
I lay my throbbing head down on the table and say to no one in particular, “I think I want to shot the maker’s of Vodka.”

"Well, no," I say as Ava asks if I concider who I was on Antar to be who I 'really am.' I don't, but I know a lot of other people do and it is still part of me. I can't ignore it because that would be to leave myself vulnerable to the dangers it represents, both alien and terrestrial. "But Khivar will. It's still part of who we are. Khivar will want him and his daughter dead because of it. He needs to know."
I sigh and run a hand through my hair. They're after me and my other kids, my whole family including Michael and his kids and Ava and Dominque. I want to protect them but I can't do it on my own. I have a feeling we'll all need to work together to do this.
I wonder for a moment about Liz. She's not 'entirely human' either. Is she on Duke's list? I haven't heard from Liz yet this morning. I try to remember when she was starting her shift today. I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't some other emergency at the Crashdown that she 'had' to take care of. I think I'll stay clear of there today. Liz would never forgive me if the Crashdown were damaged or if some alien creep killed me in the middle of her diner.
I turn to Ava. "Well, why don't I get you that coffee I promised? It smells like Nathaniel has a pot brewing."
*Nathaniel*
"I haven't really had time to process it all yet. And you'd be surprised how scary some of my 'obsessed' fans can get." Zan says.
"Sounds intense," I nod slowly and take a sip of coffee, trying to hide my surprise. I'd seen how Natalie and Anya have swooned over Zander and well, I've been mighty fond of the band, too, but somehow his words bring my imagination to places I hadn't concidered before. I'm sure they could be very dangerous if they wanted to be.
I look at Dominque; she's mumbling about alcohol. She looks seriously sick and yet, she's still beautiful. After talking to Dad, I checked out the band's website last night. I'd never noticed before but it said that Dom's middle name was Elizabeth, that she named after a close friend of her mom's. That has to be my mom. She was named for my mom.
"Sorry, Dominque," I say softly, wishing I could help. "Dad says my healing powers don't work well on hangovers, but I could get you an aspirin or something."

"Well, why don't I get you that coffee I promised? It smells like Nathaniel has a pot brewing." Max says and coffee sounds great at this moment. I still have to drag every one to a photo shoot this morning.
We head towards the kitchen where the kids are seated at the table. Dominique has her head down like she has a headache and I decide I might not want to know. Jayden is eating breakfast and sitting in Zander’s lap while he drinks his coffee.
I fix myself a cup and sit down beside Dom. “So how did you get Zander out of jail last night?” I ask Max right in front of Zan and it has the intended effect because Zan almost spews his coffee that he was just then taking a sip of. He must have thought I’d forget about it because of the cocaine incident.

I start to rifle through the cupboards looking for an aspirin. We never use it so it's hard to remember where to look. I'm pretty sure we actually have some from when Dad and I were camping and Mom needed something. Gee, that must have been over two years ago. Does medicine go bad? Would Mom have thrown it out?
Maybe I should try healing Dominque the regular way. Dad said it didn't work well but I'm sure he hasn't tried in a long time. He also said that alcohol would do all sorts of other strange things that apparently haven't happened to Dominque. Maybe he's wrong about the healing thing, too...
"Hey, Dominque. Maybe I can help you a different way," I start to offer, but then Dad and Ava come into the kitchen and I stop myself. I don't think I want to try it with them in the room.
I move back to the table, sitting next to Dominque as Ava fixes herself a cup of coffee. “So how did you get Zander out of jail last night?” she asks, nearly causing Zan to spit up his coffee. I smile behind my own cup, finding it funny to see him caught off-guard like that.
Dad regards Zan, seriously as he pours himself some coffee and adds an extra dose of sugar and Tabasco sause. "The Sheriff is an old friend. He's not much for celebrities but he was willing to do me a favor," he says.
