Little Talks

Noticed a distinct lack of naterad in this fandom. It’s okay since Behrad is a fairly new character, but I will be helping to fill the void with this slightly angsty thing. ;)

...

Zari was a legend.

Behrad couldn’t believe it. There’d been an alternate timeline where Zari had the totem instead of him. She’d been a member of this team, this family, and she’d been something more than just the preppy media influencer he’d grown up with.

Hard to believe, but the evidence was right there in the footage they’d found after the crash. Gideon had pretty much died and been brought back to life, and apparently, she brought something back with her. Data from a dead timeline. And it wasn’t just the data. The more the team watched, the more they remembered from that timeline. The more they remembered the old Zari.

Zari had changed since seeing it. She’d barely said a word in the last two days. Everyone was giving her space to process, but it felt like they were downright avoiding Behrad.

Behrad didn’t have memories from this dead timeline. Because he’d died a long time ago in it. If Zari hadn’t tried to hack history, he would have stayed dead. In the real timeline, the one Rip Hunter had originally recruited the Legends to save, Behrad was supposed to be dead.

Zari was a legend and Behrad wasn’t.

��Hey.”

Behrad looked up from where he was just sitting, sulking in the library. He was honestly kind of surprised to see Nate.

Nate had avoided him most of all in the last couple days. Behrad honestly didn’t blame him. After all, how was somebody supposed to react after finding out that their crush had been supposed to be a part of the team? That there was a timeline where not only was she there, but they’d been together.

And Behrad being there had erased all that. In this timeline, Nate had been single since Amaya left. Behrad knew as much as his friend hid it, he was lonely and hurt. And even more since Ray left.

In the dead timeline, would Zari have helped him through that?

Did Nate blame him that she wasn’t herself to?

“Are you okay?”

Behrad was surprised at how concerned Nate sounded. Two days of not speaking a word and now he was suddenly acting like everything was normal?

Was he okay? How could he be? How could anyone be after finding out their sister was supposed to live in their place and they were supposed to be dead?

Well, he wasn’t making himself seem okay by not responding to his friend’s questions like he normally would.

“Are you?”

Nate shrugged, “I mean, it’s weird, knowing about this other timeline, but not that much is actually different, so overall, I’m fine. Just a little shaken. Doesn’t change the fact that you didn’t answer the question. Behrad. Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

Nate walked away and Behrad immediately wished he hadn’t. Then he heard a scraping noise and noticed how a chair was being dragged over towards him.

Nate sat down and just stared until Behrad looked him in the eye.

“You’re obviously not okay,” he insisted, “You haven’t been acting like yourself.”

“How would you know? You haven’t talked to me since we found out about the dead timeline.”

Nate sighed, “It’s a lot to process, I’ll admit that. I needed time.”

“Do you want me to leave?”

“What? Why would I—“

“I’m not even alive in the dead timeline,” Behrad interrupted, “And it seems like you and Zari were both happier that way—seems like the whole team had this different dynamic and all of you were better off.”

“Zari was a mess because she missed you,” Nate shot back, “She never forgave herself for not saving you. You really think she was happier?”

Behrad didn’t answer, having no idea what to say.

“And as for the rest of the team...” Nate shrugged, “Things were different, yeah, but I wouldn’t call it better, necessarily.”

“And what about for you?” Behrad asked, “You loved the other Zari. Can you honestly tell me you wouldn’t trade me to get her back?”

Nate didn’t say anything, seeming to be struggling for words.

Behrad smiled sadly, “Yeah, I rest my case. If you had to choose one of us—“

“But I don’t!”

Behrad was taken off guard, “What?”

“I don’t have to choose!” Nate exclaimed, “God, Behrad, that’s what you don’t get! I don’t have to choose because you’re both here now!”

“But if you did have to, you’d choose her,” Behrad said miserably, “I know that. God, I’m so stupid.”

“B, I don’t think I could... if I had to choose... my friend vs. the woman I—“

“And that’s another thing!” Behrad exclaimed, “Nate... do you remember what I told you about that whole situation with the Hindu love god later, since you weren’t there?”

“About the whole love drug thing?” Nate asked, “Personally, I think that none of that was your fault, but—“

“No,” Behrad took a deep breath, “Nate, I... I told you he looked like a woman to me, cause that’s a totally logical thing for a god of love to be able to do. He didn’t. He was a guy for me just as much as he was for Sara, Charlie, and Mona.”

“But you don’t—“ Nate looked a little surprised as he realized, “Oh. Okay. How come you never told me?”

“I knew homophobia was a much bigger thing back in the time you’re from, and...” Behrad shrugged, “I dunno! Maybe I thought you were okay with Sara and Ava because they wouldn’t be attracted to you.”

“B, I don’t care,” Nate said firmly, “I don’t care if you like girls or boys or whatever. I am kinda offended you thought I would, but what’s important is that I don’t care.”

“Heh. I wish you did.”

“What?”

Behrad snorted, “You’re pretty dumb, Nate Heywood.”

He had to admit, Nate’s confused face was adorable.

“Emphasis on the pretty part, I guess.”

Behrad watched as realization flashed over Nate’s face. He didn’t seem to know what to say.

“I’m so stupid,” he said, laughing sadly, “Sara and Mona told me to tell you how I felt. They told me I was worrying for nothing, but... I wish I’d told you. I mean, nothing sucks like knowing apparently your crush could have loved you back. If I’d been brave enough to just say something. Or maybe not, cause you’re straight. And I mean, I keep keeping my hopes up like a dumbass, constantly watching your back on missions, talking about girls with you, wearing a stupid red flannel cause Zari noticed you like ‘lumberjack chic... it’s so stupid. I’m so stupid”

Sara and Mona and even Charlie had told Behrad that he had a chance with Nate if he wanted to.

Well, at least he’d get to say ‘I told you so’ now.

“Who said I was straight?”

Wait, what?

“You like Zari, though.”

Nate chuckled, “Yeah. Um, we talked about it, and... the old version of her might have had a thing for me, but she liked someone else, too. And this version of her likes that person more. Uh... it’s requitted.”

“Oh,” Behrad said, “She didn’t tell me that.”

“Yeah, I was surprised,” Nate agreed, “I never even knew Zari 1.0 liked Charlie. But... we talked about some other things, too. She made me realize that maybe I was going so hard after her because... because I couldn’t have Ray.”

“Wait, what?”

“Yeah. I didn’t know that, either, until she pointed it out. But Ray loves Nora; always has. I guess I’m just really bad at identifying my feelings for what they are.”

Behrad was still catching up, “So you’re not straight?”

Nate chuckled, “No, B, I’m not.”

“And um...” Behrad hesitated, “What does that mean for you and me?”

Nate just smiled, leaning a little closer, “We’ll see, I guess.”

[ Prologue ]

What makes a storm scary?

Sara felt sick– like they were rocks in her stomach, as her father’s boat rocked shakily back and forth on the raging sea. Both she and her father knew better to go out on business on a night like this, but their clients had offered them more money than they’d know what to do with just to go out in it.

Why…?‌ Well, they were told not to ask. It was more convenient not to ask. They just wanted to out into the middle of the ocean for an hour or two.

Just an hour, or two, they said.

But when the sirens and lights approached in the distance, they wanted to go out further. For just a little longer, for more money. Even more money. Sara protested, but the family business was sinking and she had no real right to complain the more the digits of what was being offered went up.

She had been offered one wish by some mythical looking pest before– she could’ve simply gotten the money that way, but it seemed like a greedy waste of a wish to ask for money in exchange for… whatever it was they wanted in return.

Now, here, she wished she had taken that offer.

“Dad, I‌ really think we should find somewhere to dock. The thunder is following the lightning too close at this point, the storm’s only going to get worse fr–”

“Shut up, you bitch!”‌ one of the “clients” barked, abruptly cutting her off. “You’re already this far deep, just chill out another fucking hour!”‌

Sara’s father glared at him, earning an apologetic look from the second client sitting beside him. The man cleared his throat, speaking far more politely than the one next to him. “He’s very worked up, and rude, but I have to politely second my friend’s statement. Just another hour, and we’ll be out of your hands, and you’ll be much, much richer.”

Sara looked from them to her father, shaking her head. “We don’t have another hour in this weather. This isn’t some huge ship, it’s just a little boat meant for fishing. I don’t know exactly what you’re up to, and I don’t want to know at this point, but you’re taking a bigger risk being out here than simply letting us dock somewhere discreet.”

“JUST‌ SHUT–”‌ the ruder one started, but immediately cut off and startled by a lightning strike a bit too close for comfort out in the ocean.

The silver-haired girl blinked a few times and pointed outwards toward the strikes and flashes, emphasizing her point. “This is exactly what I’m talking about!‌ We’re in a little boat, with metal sticking out of it, in the middle of nowhere– the sea’s getting choppier and choppier, and pretty soon, we’re going to capsize. This as much your safety as it is ours, and you need to recognize this!”

She turned to her father, staring at him pleadingly. “Come on, this isn’t worth it. Dad, let’s go home. Please.”‌

He nodded, giving her a sympathetic look back. “Yeah, you’re right, Sara… sorry guys, we’re going to have to turn back. I‌ can’t risk going out further in this thing anyway, it isn’t meant for super deep ocean water in the first place. I’ll drop you off against the closest coastline, how about–”

He was interrupted by the sound of a gun being cocked while he turned towards the wheel, freezing in place.

The “polite” one calmly held a beretta pointed in his direction, shaking his head. “I‌ hate to do this, but you’re hardly leaving us a choice in this matter. Take the boat out farther, Mr. Reighs.”

“You aren’t listening to either of us. This boat doesn’t stand any chance i–”

A shot fired off into the air as the man instead pointed the gun at Sara. “We heard both of you. I’m telling you that you’re going to take us out further, or we’ll dump the two of you out and take ourselves further.”

Both Sara and her father stared at them in shock, then at each other.

He gave her a forlorn look, then turned back around to start taking the boat out further.

                                                        ---------

Is it the flooding rains?‌ The destructive lightning?‌ Or the cacophony that follows them both, pounding so hard you can’t feel your heart-beat?

Sara screamed as the boat rocked violently back and forth, not even her years of being on the boat steeling her for this. It flung her against one of the steel rails, hitting her in the stomach and ejecting the air from her lungs. She sputtered and wheezed, bracing herself against it as tightly as she could just to prevent herself from toppling over. The overwhelming smell of the salty sea filled her nostrils as she inhaled to get her breath back, turning herself around just enough to watch the rest of the boat.

The two that had gotten them into this mess in the first place tumbled around helplessly, each effort to get up foiled by slipping on the seawater coating the ship. The beretta slipped out of the calm one’s grip, bouncing around the deck uselessly. Sara dropped to the ground and grabbed for it, only to be met by the thuggish client kicking at her hand as hard as he could manage from his prone position. She let out a cry of pain, her hand reeling back from the blow; the ship tilted harshly to the left again, causing her to slide up against the railing while laying down, earning another crushing blow– to her ribs this time. Sara wheezed, realizing that something had just broken inside of her.

Nonetheless, she struggled to her feet, knees wobbling from the effort, and clutching her chest. The thuggish one managed to finally right himself using the railing, glaring at her as the beretta uselessly tumbled into the ocean.

“You should’ve just fucking listened!”‌ she screamed over the howling wind. “If anyone of us dies, it’s on you!”

“Oh, can it, bitch, you could’ve just said no and walked away from the money!”‌ he shouted back.

“The deal way a mile or two, not driving straight out into the goddamned ocean you idiot!‌”

Her father looked back, desperately wanting to come out to help her, but knowing that the second he stopped fighting the waves with his steering the whole thing would capsize. He was relegated to steering the best he could, desperately trying to turn to escape the storm.

“Shut up, just fucking shut up!”‌ the thug screamed, rushing at her the second the boat stilled, striking her across the face with his fist. She winced and tilted her head to accommodate the blow, dangerously leaning back against the railing to give herself enough room to throw a heavy upwards swing back at him from her position. It collided with his chin, knocking him a solid foot back from his body automatically recoiling from the blow.

“I’m on this boat for a reason, you son of a bitch…” she murmured, wiping the blood leaking from the corner of her lip with the back of her hand. Sara tore off the outer jacket that was just soggy and weighing her down at this point, exposing her muscular build and thick arms in the thin tank-top she was wearing underneath. “Don’t think you can’t get away with this shit just because I’m a girl.”

He laughed mockingly at her, spitting out blood as he righted himself with the railing opposite her. “Yeah, you’re some girl. More man than a girl, though!”

“Certainly more man than you,”‌ she growled, adopting a boxing stance as he lunged at her again. This time she weaved to the side, letting the punch uselessly whiff past her shoulder– and using the momentum from her own body’s motion to rotate her torso up, carrying her fist along with it– directly into this abdomen with a crushing amount of force. He wheezed outward, the breath catching in his throat. She didn’t waste a moment to toy with him, letting out an intimidating howl, shoving him back with her arm just enough to allow the full weight of her arms to crash into the sides of his face as she unleashed hook after hook into the sides of his face, letting the momentum of each one carry her into the next.

Her blows only stopped when she felt his accomplice reach for her leg, pushing the thuggish one down now that he was barely conscious, and stomping at the hand reaching for her.

He yanked his hand back quickly, retreating on his hands and knees to the cabin with her father. He lept up to his feet in the safe confines of the mostly dry room, pulling out a second, smaller gun from his boot and pointing it at Sara’s father.

“Okay, okay, now let’s just all be calm and civil,”‌ he said, a smug grin creeping onto his face. “No need to escalate this any more than it has–”

Abruptly, lightning struck right next to the boat. Shaking everything around them, and absolutely deafening.

Just as abrupt and deafening as the gunshot fired off directly through her father’s heart.

She stood in shock as he collapsed, lifeless before he even touched the ground.

The man who shot him looked panicked as if he didn’t mean to– whether he did or not, at this point, was entirely irrelevant.

Sara let out a piercing scream, her vision turning completely red with rage. She ran towards the cabin, earning a gunshot through the shoulder as she tried to make her way in there. As if she were possessed, she continued forward, use of one of her arms be damned. The second shot he fired missed, the third hitting her in the thigh far too late. Sara had already rushed into him, her usable arm swinging at him wildly. Her fist rapidly jabbed into his face, the repeated, bloodthirsty blows dispatching him quickly as the gun fell from his hands.

Out of the picture for now.

She looked to her father’s body, dropping to her knees as the pain caught up to her brain. She winced and sobbed, the sound of the rain completely drowning her out. Without anyone steering the boat, however, it started to tilt and shake far more violently.

A voice in the back of her head screamed for her to get up. She knew she had to because if she didn’t now, there was no way she was going to make it out of this alive. She knew this, even if it meant pulling herself away from her father’s body with barely even a second to grieve.

Sara tried to stand, but the wound in her thigh was far too painful. The best she could do was lift herself enough on one leg to reach the wheel, and use her only functional arm to try to work against the storm.

Even with all the strength, she had left, every ounce of power she tried to work through her body, it still wasn’t enough.

Then, Kyubey appeared in front of the wheel, having picked the most opportune moment. “Hello, Sara. Seems you’re in trouble.”

“Now’s not the time, you rat!” she shouted, straining to hold on to the wheel as the boat continued to violently rock to and fro against the increasingly powerful waves.

“I‌ feel now’s the best time. It appears you’re about to die.”

She didn’t even bother giving that statement a response, besides a low growl of pain.

“You can make any wish you want with me– you could easily get away from all of this. You just need to say the word.” Kyubey continued, staring unblinkingly at her.

“Fine, you god-damn pest…” she weakly groaned, light-headed as more and more blood left her body. She lifted herself up as much as she could manage, staring right back at it.

“Let me control this storm, and tame this sea!‌ I’ll make your damned contract!”‌ she shouted, feeling something intangible leave her body the moment the words left her lips.

“As you wish, Sara.”

Lightning began to violently assault the sea around them, crashing down against the water every other second. She cried out and covered her ears, falling to the ground with nothing to support her.

She could hear the man next to her she had thought to have knocked unconscious being violently awoken by the cacophony, but there was nothing she could do. It was like every bit of will had been sapped from her body, and she couldn’t understand why.

“You… crazy, bitch…”‌ he groaned, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He picked up his gun, sneering at her down the sights.

Suddenly, a stray bolt crashed through the cabin and struck Sara directly in the back, forcing a scream of pain out of her. The man dropped the gun again to cover his ears, completely shell-shocked from the deafening noise and heat from the proximity to it.

Despite every nerve in her body screaming at her, a billion volts of electricity cascading in her body, she felt the will to move surging back into her body alongside it. Whatever pain she felt before was completely wiped away in place of this new searing hell.‌

Nonetheless, she started to rise to her feet. Her skin crackled with arcing bolts of electricity, her eyes aglow with a chaotically flickering white light. Those same eyes turned to the man beside her, filled with a sorrowful rage.

“What the hell– what the hell are you?!”‌ he screamed at her, scrambling to grab his gun again. A stray bolt from her body struck his hand, making him yank in back to his body in startled pain.

She moved toward him with purpose, grabbing onto his head and lifting him off his feet with a newfound strength.

“Carry that question with you to hell.”‌ she said, her voice coming out as a distorted roar. Tears streamed down her face as another bolt of lightning cracked into her back, circuiting through her body directly into his.

There was a short scream, but that amount of electricity almost immediately fried the man’s nervous system and stopped his heart. She continued to hold his lifeless, twitching body in her hand– she derived no pleasure from it but felt no remorse in return. She walked out of the cabin with him in her hand, tossing him like a doll into the open sea.

His friend was rising to his feet, looking on in horror.

She turned her head to him, her expression devoid of any discernible emotion as the pouring rain masked her tears. Even without her saying a word, the thug started to back up, every thought in his mind consumed by the overwhelming to get away– but there was nowhere left to go. Not out here, in the middle of the sea.

“S-Sto– this isn’t–” he stammered, desperately searching for any words that wouldn’t lead to his death.

“You made this grave for yourself. It’s time for you to lie in it.” Sara stated, her voice overpowering the storm itself.

A surge of seawater rose from behind her, soaring above her and crashing like a truck into his body. The sound of broken bones and a frightened scream was muffled by the water, as the uncaring, unfeeling sea swallowed him whole.

Sara stood there, silent. The sea began to calm, the storm bending to her will.

What she felt she had to do was done. In a matter of minutes, vengeance was hers. She thought it might make her feel better, but there was still a hole in her heart that their deaths didn’t fill.

She walked into the cabin, staring at her father’s lifeless body. The girl got on her knees, lifting him enough to hold him close to her. There was hardly any warmth left now.

“I’m sorry, dad….” she muttered quietly. “If you’re still watching me from somewhere… tell mom that I’ll be alright. I promise I’ll look after myself, so…” Sara continued, clutching his body tighter. “… you guys don’t need to worry about me anymore.”

                                                         ---------

Sara stood at the grave of her mother, now side by side to a grave made in rocks and flowers. They didn’t have the money for a big funeral or even enough for a coffin and headstone. Any money the two criminals promised them either never existed or had been lost in the struggle.

Even if they did, there was no way to police would’ve believed her if she told them what happened. Her father’s death had to be a secret now. An unmarked grave next to her mother’s was the best she could do for him.

It hurt, but it’s what she needed to do if she wanted to keep moving.

Kyubey had informed her of her new duties while she was digging the grave late last night. It was clear that this would be the thing to occupy most of her time.

She sold the family house to a group of yakuza since legally putting it for sale was out of the question without her father around. It was enough money to get a decent apartment for a long while, but not much else. Having money for food and a place to stay was all she needed. School was out of the question at this point.

“You know, I’ve never seen such powerful magic manifest itself in an untransformed state before. Not many girls simply wish for power… the effects are certainly impressive.” Kyubey stated, sitting atop the grave of Sara’s mother, tail idly flicking around.

She manifested her spear, stopping it just an inch from skewering the creature whole. “If you expect me to humor your banter, do it off her grave, you shitheel.”

Kyubey stared at her unblinking, simply hopping off the headstone to appeal to her. Not that it mattered what she thought of them, but she would certainly be interesting to watch; they didn’t want to lose that opportunity.

“So, where to next?”‌ Kyubey asked.

“Guess I have to find myself a witch now. What else do‌ I have to do, anymore, anyway?” she said, a grim smile on her face.

She left the grave behind, hands in her pockets and eyes to the sidewalk.

Wherever was next… she’d have to find out all on her own.

chapter two

Next day was really hard for Mad to focus on anything. She spent the last night deeply in her own thought trying to get asleep but for a long time it was pointless. She didn’t sleep well but she went to work as always - with this attitude of seriousness, self-confidence and mystery which was an effect of other her traits. Mad knew she should talk to Paris. That wasn’t how it all supposed to be. From the beginning she knew it’s going to cause lots of trouble but she let it all happen. She is older, she’s a lecturer and still she was the one kissing her on the wrist and telling her she’s gorgeous rather then telling her to stop this pointless, immature romance that grew between them accidentally. That was something different in Paris. She wasn’t like the other women her age. She was reckless and smart. She could do anything. Like really she could. It was hard to deny it when one was able to meet her. That was the first thing that got Mad so close to her. She was magnetised by her aura. Like she never met anybody like Paris. Even if Leo knew they won’t last long, that it’s not a relationship that can evolve into something like ‘happily ever after’ or other bullshit it didn’t stop her from involving into this affair. Leo has had this thoughts about self-blaming recently stronger then for a long time because she got used to this turn of events. It has lasted for half a year and she managed to mute her previous doubts after first month but everything ricocheted few days ago. Nevertheless, Leo wasn’t expected this at all. Paris really fell for her. It was something which scared her from the first moment she heard it. Paris was a great person. Intelligent, ambitious. She will be far one day with her language passion and even further than Mad is right now. She should have a great person who will truly engage and appreciate her. Leo knew she’s not that person and she didn’t want to keep that fake hope inside Paris. Although, she didn’t know how is she supposed to talk with her about that. Mad wasn’t ready for this talk. She didn’t know what to do. After lectures, she just picked everything to the bag and went outside to her Ford Lincoln. Paris finished her last lecture and was going home but today she didn’t stop to talk with her. Mad couldn’t resist to gaze towards her. She looked beautiful like always. Paris was briefly talking with her colleagues and she just put her hair behind her ear. She didn’t look in Leo’s direction so Leo wondered if it’s in on purpose or if she’s just not aware. Anyway, Leo found it quite relieving that she won’t be forced to speak today. She decided to leave it and just put on the ignition. * Few days later, nothing changed. Leo got a feeling that Paris is maybe trying to avoid her as too much was already said and done. It was Saturday, the sun was floating inside her apartment through the window making long shadows on the wooden floor. Leo was just sitting with her book - editing it. She was deeply focused for few hours and it was already midday so she decided to put off her working glass and went to the kitchen to prepare second coffee. Her pug Jackson followed her and as she saw lack of water in his bowl, she filled it up and kissed her fat son on the forehead. She loved him so much. Her most important man forever. She was never interested in other boys than her dogs. She poured some soya milk into her freshly brewed coffee and went with it back to the living room. She looked through the pages with some notes on Botswana she has written during her previous visits to make sure again if she won’t use any of this things as an inspiration to the book motivated by her last visit there. As she reached for the pen from her bag she found the business card. LaToya Johnson. She hold the card for a while and then, put it on the table. She came back to corrections.  Few hours later, she got a call. That was Rufus Marcolino. Her publisher who also had Spanish origins - his grandparents who were from Spain just emigrated to the States. He spoke a bit of Spanish and they quickly came to understanding of each others on a human level. He contacted her first as he read the article about her in a local, scholar newspaper. She was some kind of a local celebrity when it came to education so many professors knew here because of Leo’s achievements as a traveler and non-fiction writer. Also, she knew few African languages and she had a warm heart to this continent so this mixture was found very inspiring for dozens of people who really appreciated her work. Marcolino called her to suggest if she wouldn’t like to be published by him. She already had somebody who was considering this and also she could technically publish her book at the same place where she did with her two previous volumes. Although, she was slightly uncomfortable with working for Uma Jefferson. The truth, this woman had a crush on her and was trying to seduce Leo almost every way possible. That time, for Mad it was no go. She was always getting away with that trying to change the subject or sometimes talk really seriously. Uma seemed not to be bother by this talk. She was still trying. Leo was quite tired of this whole situation so she tried to look for the publisher herself and she found one man who was intrigued but he published more anthropological positions. Therefore, when Marcolino called her, she didn’t have second thoughts. Leo just agreed for the offer and closed the strange relationship with her publisher that was making her so tired for a little while. Marcolino was the man of work. He truly seemed to be dedicated, very serious about work and he wasn’t a woman, he was married, had children so any troubles on this ground was out of question. So, when he called her that day, Leo was puzzled. “I hope you understand my position. It’s not about you personally. Of course, we’re professional, we don’t care about private lives of our coworkers but I think you’re smart enough to see how it looks like. We have many authors and serious customers like whole chains of bookshops that are very conservative and that’s how it goes. We can’t lose them because we’re publish a book by an author like you. I’m very sorry”  She didn’t know what to say.  After a little while she replied. “Excuse me but may I get the information how did you manage to have this knowledge on my personal life now and not for example, at the very beginning of our work?”  Mad was sounding really calm but she knew it won’t be like that for a long time. Marcolino coughed  quite nervously, maybe to buy himself sometime for an answer although he was definitely expecting it. He was not a fool even if he was a total bastard. “One of our workers saw something obvious on your facebook account”. “Something?” “Pictures. There was some woman and the description told it’s your wife. It was a wedding picture, I believe”. Leo was thinking for a while. Shit. It had to be her old wedding picture with Sara. They never got married as Leo wasn’t ready for it but they had some kind of a pre-wedding photoshoot she agreed to do with her shortly before she flew to Botswana.  “We’re not married. It was just a photoshoot”. “But you were in an intimate relationship, weren’t you?” “I don’t want to discuss my private life with you. That’s not the part of our business. My work is to write the book” “Maybe. But not for my publishing. I have to cancel our contract. I’m very sorry. You will be paid partly as it was said in our agreement but I can’t do nothing more for you. I hope you will publish this book somewhere else because it’s not a bad one definitely”. These words came for mouth of the man who was publishing pretty much every genre with many romances written by “very promising house-wives who are writing in breaks from doing their everyday duties”. Yes, he also published many scholar books, essays and quite a few respected authors got to him and they had a bigger success with him than with publishers strictly specialised with professional literature. He was also an escape from Uma Jefferson at some point although he turned out to be the worst choice in her career. “If it’s your decision, I won’t bother to speak with you no more. Our cooperation is over” told Mad and finished the talk by one click. She drank a glass of water on one sit and opened the door to show Jackson they’re coming outside to run as usual.  * After she came back home, she took a shower, put on some vinyl records and started cooking dinner. She heard the lock opening. It was her brother Brooklyn. “Hey. What’s up?” he said and put the keys on the shelf. “Shit. Marcolino just called me. He won’t publish me ‘cause I’m gay” “Really? People are still fucked up and it’s damn 21st century” replied Brook and took an apple from the plate nearby. “Fancy some pasta? I’m doing dinner” “Might have some” he bite his apple. “How are you doing, bro? Haven’t been home for a while” “Stuff are good with Blackie” he smiled a little bit. “Glad to hear that. I hope you’ll find your way. If not you who? You’re the longest lasting couple I ever knew. Come on, you are meant for each other” Brooklyn wasn’t very self-confident with his speech today but that was also him on a normal basis. “How’s shagging this student?” he asked instead of the reaction. “Brooklyn, shut up. That’s not funny” Leo looked at him quite indifferent. “Your face shows it’s really not. Something happened?” “Not at all it’s just disrespectful” “Okay, I'm sorry, sis. You’re right. I didn’t mean anything bad. You know” “Yes, no worries, Brook. I’m just tired recently. I’ve been working so hard on this book and now this bastard ruined that. I need to find new publisher quickly”. “You’re gonna make it, Leo. ‘Cause you’re smart as fuck. I wish I could be half as fuckin smart as you. And you also cook awesome vegan pasta. You’re the best” he said to Mad and helped her out with the plates and cutlery.  “That’s all I can cook, man. You’re the best chef in this house. Remember that next time when you’ll use so many strong words in one sentence”. “That’s right. You even burnt broccoli once”. “Shut the fuck up” she laughed. “Uuu, the serious one is using bad words” he laughed with her so hard.”I really love you Mad. You’re the best”.

* They took some Jack Daniel’s after dinner and sat in the living room to listen to some more vinyl records together. Brooklyn and Leo were talking about various things. They loved it. Like it was meant to be that way. Even if they have lived for a few years on separate continents they managed to stay close to each other like the perfect siblings. Even if they were definitely not the perfect ones. “Brooklyn?” “Yep?” “You really wanna know what’s with Paris?” He took another sip from his glass and just comforted himself on the floor and looked at his sister when she brought back this topic. “Sure I wanna”. “She told me that she’s in love with me” He didn’t answer. Neither Mad told a word more. They were just finishing their drinks because they both got tired.

* On Sunday, she wake up quite late because the drinking really went quite far so she had a hangover. Nothing spectacular, it was just the night when she had the need to get drunk with her dear brother and talk about pretty much everything. When she woke up, she was lying on the sofa in the living room where she stopped her work yesterday. Brooklyn left her a note: “got a call from my man, so I’m staying with him for few days again. that was cool time. get some sleep, drink this. you’ll publish a great fuckin great I mean, book. love, bro”. It was really sweet of him. She took a glass with their hangover mixture which tasted lightly speaking just bad and then took a quick shower. Walk with Jackson and a coffee woke her up and after that she came back to the living room. She was avoiding LaToya’s business card on purpose. Obviously, it came to her mind that she could simply call her but she knew it’s not going to be only business issue. She didn’t want to engage in any affairs right now. Although, she also knew that will be impossible to just forget the meeting with her. She had a few second-thoughts but she after a while she felt convinced that it is for the better. She took a business card an initiate a call to LaToya.
