  Although Haven was open, it wasn’t usually too busy mid-afternoon. Usually, her ‘civilian’ regulars were at work, and it was only the occasional trucker or hunter stopped on their way to somewhere for a break and a bite to eat.    Today’s meager crowd was mostly truckers, all who ordered the special and were content to be left alone on this rare break in their busy schedules. All save for the young man who just sat by himself in the corner. She recognized him, him and his friend had been here before.

   So Nona grabbed a menu and headed over to his table.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you around.   Are you on your own today?”

     Normally he would be paired up with Klaus but today their father decided to put them on separate missions. Missions specific to their skill set. Which didn’t brother Diego, in fact he saw it as a break. Not that he didn’t like Klaus, he’s just a lot to handle some days. Diego has his way of doing things and that usually didn’t work well with Klaus hanging around.

     Diego was sitting at a booth, keeping to himself. Until the owner came over with a menu. "Been pretty busy... But yeah, just me this time.”

“GEEZ lighten up.” 

He rubbed his hand against his jaw- it wouldn’t be the first time he’d been punched for talking about someone’s mother- and it probably wouldn’t be the last.

“I was kidding. If anything- that’s a  compliment- that your mom’s not just  some old bag.”

     “I don’t care what it is. Don’t let it happen again.” Luckily this guy didn’t actually tell Diego’s mother this to her face. It wouldn’t be pretty if he did. Diego knew what his mom was like. “I’m sure you can find some chick to harass, this is a big base.”

     Diego couldn’t help but groan. Normally he didn’t mind the jokes but this had to be the tenth one in a row. “Seriously. No more, please. I’m begging you this time.”

     Diego said nothing at first, he just closed his eyes and shook his head lightly. He reopened his eyes and looked at her once more. “Why must you do this?”

[ ◎ ]

     “I don’t know, why?”

She’d been with him since she’d found him. In his initial state- where he was in and out of it; all she’d been able to get out of him was that Julian had done this. It was a hard decision- but with Julian nowhere in site, Emma took Diego all the way back home to get looked after. 

 Now her son was asleep and recovering, and Emma hadn’t left his side once. Instead, she was just letting her worries weigh her down while he was out.

    Diego had been in and out of consciousness since getting attacked by his younger brother. The times he was awake he attempted to tell whoever was there that he was okay and what had happened. Even if it was kind of a fog due to his current state. The last thing he remembered seeing was the entrance to their base in the distance before falling back into unconsciousness.

    Half the day had passed when he finally came too, he sat up quickly trying to figure out where he was. When Diego saw his mother, he realized where he was. He noticed how tired and concerned she looked which caused him to become upset. “Mom? Are you okay?”

“I dunno, he seems alright. Looks rough though. But he doesn’t really  talk to anyone.” 

She tried to tread lightly on the subject- since he kinda seemed hesitant. 

“Bet your mama wishes he was back  home, huh?”

  Diego was silent, nodding lightly. Of course Julian wouldn’t be talking to anyone. He had always been a loner growing up. It was a damn shame things turned out how they did. “Every day... You see, I don’t know if you noticed but Indiana’s got a lot of mental issues. Always has. And it's just breaking her heart.” Diego hated that fact, but what else could they do at this point? “So any news of him is appreciated.”

• • Jocelyn • •

As he went to sit down, set all her things down on the table next to him. Her tattooed fingers went for the cold pack first. Jocelyn gave it a shake, as she activated it then wrapped it in a towel. She smirked, then pressed it to his swollen cheek. 

  “Sure…uh huh- never once.”

  “Honestly, you're the first.” He joked as he took over holding the ice pack to his face. Even if he really did like getting babied by her, he knew she had other things to work on. “You know, I should get hurt more often.”

{♫}

“Yeah, he did. ‘Least most of the time. He  liked to try and make her laugh. Especially  when she didn’t wanna.”

He smiled a little. Emma had really loved Shaun, and Dan had no doubt that Shaun had loved her in return. But it just got too much for him. Too much too young, which lead to his ‘accident’. But he really didn’t want to tell Diego that.

 “And he was crazy about you.”

  Diego was silent as his grandfather spoke, nodding lightly in return. The last statement made the oldest feel even worse for not being able to remember him, let alone mourn him properly. He wasn’t even sure if that was normal. “Was he? How’d they even meet?”
