Ask Nez Rowan

@askscottiehargrave would probably kill both of us if I just took off after Garvey, but once Liz wakes up things are going to change. I can’t stay hidden here forever. I may be safe, but she won’t be.

It’s good to know you’ll have my back when the day comes, Nez.

I’ll always have your back. You were there for me after I relapsed and you never lost faith in my ability to fight against my addiction. You have no idea how much that means to me.

I like my new home, @askscottiehargrave. Do we get to stay here? Do I get to stay with you and @askthomasvincentkeen?

Yeah, baby girl. We’re staying put for a while. I’ve missed you so much. I’m not going to leave you again, okay? 

Our family’s a little… unconventional, but your grandma @askscottiehargrave, your aunt @asknezrowan, and me are going to make sure you’re safe and happy, and when your mom is better we’ll all be together.

Wait, what? 

Aunt? 

Just because Howard betrayed us doesn’t make you any less family, Nez. @askagneskeen is going to need all the family she’s got.

You trust a former drug addict with your kid?

I don’t know if I should hit you or hug you. Does she even like me?

I think you’re nice, @asknezrowan. And pretty. Your hair’s really pretty. Can you do mine like that?

Aww, really? 

Thanks kid. I think your hair’s pretty great too. All shiny and straight like that. That’s practically impossible for me to have. But if we get a curling iron we can put some curls in your hair if you want. It won’t be the same since I have a different texture but it’d be pretty close. 

Yes yes yes! And a big pink bow too! With glitter. Do you like glitter, Aunt Nez?

Are you kidding me? Glitter is awesome! Thought I don’t know where we’re gonna find a pink bow with glitter. 

We can make it! Grandpa Red says I’m a good artist. Artists make stuff. I can make a bow with glitter if I have something sticky like glue. 

Uh, okay. Hang on I need to make a list then. 

So we need a curling iron and then some glitter, and glue. What else do you need to make it? Fabric?

You know what, why don’t you just come with me to the store. That’d be easier.

Okay! Can I get whatever I want? 

Of course you can, sweetie. We’ll make a proper girl’s night out of it.

I like my new home, @askscottiehargrave. Do we get to stay here? Do I get to stay with you and @askthomasvincentkeen?

I think the princess has spoken, @asknezrowan. Choice is out of either of our hands.

Anyway, we all have a past. Everybody deserves a second chance, right?

Yeah…

I guess we do. 

Also, I think your kid just roped me into shopping trip that will probably end up in a girl’s night. 

I like my new home, @askscottiehargrave. Do we get to stay here? Do I get to stay with you and @askthomasvincentkeen?

Yeah, you’re one to talk, Nez.

Kinda comes with the territory in lives like ours.

Excuse me, I’ll have you know that I’m a professional and I’ve almost never gotten into trouble like you have. 

Yeah? So are you saying Dumont was lying about the time in Dubai? Because that man has a lot of skills, but lying isn’t one of them.

That..that wasn’t…ugh I’m gonna kill him. Look, I was just defending that woman. I’m not just gonna stand idly by if I could do something. 

He didn’t tell you about Portugal did he?

You know, I was going to let that one slide because he said you were, uh…. little touchy about that one. Looks like you brought it up all on your own.

I don’t like talking about it. 

 And whatever he said is probably bull. He doesn’t know all of it.

I’m pretty sure he was embellishing by that point, yeah, but it didn’t sound pretty. He was several drinks in by then.

Every operative has that assignment, you know. If you ever need to get it off your chest, I’ve been told I’m pretty good at keeping secrets. A hell of a lot better than Dumont. 

Thanks, Tom. Maybe one day I’ll tell you the whole story. Dumont is barely in the field so he doesn’t get it. But you would.

I like my new home, @askscottiehargrave. Do we get to stay here? Do I get to stay with you and @askthomasvincentkeen?

Wait, what? 

Aunt? 

Three? No one told me about the third time.

They didn’t? Must’ve forgotten.

It was pretty stressfull at the time. Lotta things happening. Either way, the docs saved your life and you’re doing great now. 

Yeah, you’re one to talk, Nez.
