Fin raised his eyebrows. "You have a license?" he asked.

--

"Why not?" he asked.

Frei shrugged.

--

"He has the right to decide his own fate. Raven's not from our world but he's adapted very well," Laurel replied.

Fin looked confused. "... Are you allowed to drive?" he asked.

--

"He's an adult," Nic reminded Laurel.

"Allowed?" Frei inquired.

--

Laurel raised an eyebrow, "I think you're being selfish," she told him.

Fin chuckled a little at that.

--

"How so?" Nic asked, getting tired of this conversation.

Frei tilted her head a little.

--

"That boy wants a family, would like to get to know his long lost older brother... And all you're saying is a list of excuses of why you can't or shouldn't take on that role. If they can erase his short term memory, what's another week, Nic? Give him a chance," Laurel stated with a small frown.

"You're something else," Fin decided.

--

"Erasing a week's worth of memories is a lot more dangerous than the last 24 hours," Nic explained.

That seemed to confuse Frei. She looked back at the books.

--

Laurel sighed a little, "Well, Wolfe's waiting for your call on the matter. But I for one, would like to get to know your brother."

"Why?" Nic asked.

Laurel was silent for awhile, "I see you in him," she remained quietly.

That seemed to confuse Nic.

Laurel sighed a little before patting the bed beside her, "Got a few minutes to spare?" she asked.

Nic glanced at the time and thought through some things before sitting down reluctantly.

Laurel immediately grabbed his face and kissed him, "Quit being so reluctant to spend time with me, you cracked boulder!" she declared, not very happy as she forced another kiss on him.

Nic didn't mind the kisses. Actually he seemed pleased that she seemed done talking for the moment.

Laurel pulled away after another kiss, "All I care about is your happiness," she reminded him, kissing his cheek and pulled him into a hug.
