A/N: This is just a silly little oneshot that entered my brain and distracted me from our regularly scheduled programming. It wouldn't leave me alone though, so I figured I'd post it :)

Thanks to: Emina105 (I have many many things planned for Lin and Saya, including something history, a nanny and some good ol' fashion father daughter bonding), Ariana Taniyama (Thanks for your comments, I'm glad the chapter didn't seem rushed :) ), xSapphirexRosexFanx (Ah, Saya's talent will have some light shed on it a little bit later)for reviewing the last chapter

Revenge is Petty, but Oh So Satisfying:

It was late evening and the Davis's sat quietly in their living room. Their house, which was quite humble given their social standing, had been silent as the grave for over a year. Since Gene had disappeared, no laughter had rang through their house. As much as they loved Oliver, it had been Gene that held their family together and always brought noise and life with him. Since he left, their house had lost its laughter and since Naru left, neither Professor nor Mrs. Davis had smiled properly. It was Friday night which meant they were sitting by the phone, waiting for that call they received once a week. It was Lin sending them weekly reports on their progress and providing them with a link to their son.

This week when the phone rang they received a surprise; "Good evening mother, father."

Naru's voice immediately made Mrs. Davis's face brighten and a smile appeared on her face, "Noll it's so good to hear from you!" The joy was not missed either Professor Davis or Oliver, both of whom felt a smidgen of guilt. It wasn't as though either of them had tried to make things easier for her ever. Most of her time was spent either researching at the university or worrying about her children and husband who looked evil in the eye on a daily basis.

"How are you, mother?" he asked and though his voice was perfectly steady, there was a small measure of homesickness there.

"I'm very well and you? How are things at Shibuya Psychic Research?" she asked smiling at the telephone.

"We're doing fine," Naru replied after a moment's thought, "We haven't located Gene yet." The words were heavy and held more emotion than he normally showed. They sounded just a touch sad and maybe a little depressed as well.

"Noll, your brother would never hold that against you," Professor Davis replied with a sigh. Despite their opposite personalities, both twins had proven to be in the unique habit of ending up in trouble and taking the blame for it themselves most of the time. He sighed again.

"Sweetheart, we love that you've called us-" and she truly did, "But where is Lin?"

Uh-oh. Lin and Naru hadn't discussed how they were going to handle Saya's situation yet. Currently, Koujo was out with said child to a doctor for a check up. From what Naru could gather so far, Lin was shell shocked to find out he had a daughter, though he was doing well to keep that emotion under wraps. Regardless, this was a fine opportunity for some payback after the many times Lin had ratted him out to his parents.

"Lin in visiting a pediatrician with Saya Koujo, his daughter."

...

"What?" both his parents sounded bewildered.

"Lin has found his long lost daughter."

...

"Lin Koujo?"

"Yes father."

"Damn, that's not something we saw coming," his father responded first with a laugh in his voice. Of course he would find this situation funny.

"I think it's wonderful!" his mother cried enthusiastically, surely with a large grin plastered on her face, "It'll do him some good to interact with children. Maybe loosen up a bit."

That was doubtful.

"In any case, I should go, I think we have a client coming in soon," Naru started the good bye process.

"Yes, you should go," his father agreed, "but keep us posted on this little development." The mischief was clear in the Senior Davis's voice. His disposition was more like Gene's than Naru's; no doubt he was planning a Christmas visit or something else equally ridiculous.

"I think I'll call him," his mother replied thoughtfully, "Do take care Noll, and call us whenever you get a chance next."

"Good bye." Naru clicked the phone off. Calling his parents always made him feel a measure of sadness equally with a measure of joy. At least this time he had news for them that wasn't centered around their missing son. He heard the office door open and assumed it was Lin returning. The sound of a child's voice echoing through the office confirmed this and Naru decidedly remained planted in his chair. As of yet, he was not comfortable around the child and had found a sanctuary in his office. About half an hour later, Lin's phone rang. A few minutes later the spiritualist strode into his office.

"You told the Professor about Saya?" Lin asked without a greeting. He had just received an odd phone call where the Davis's gushed over a child they had never met.

For the second time that day Naru had the same thought: uh-oh.

"I may have mentioned it..."

If only looks could kill.

"Naru, you know how your parents can be," Lin shuddered remembering all the family dinners, holidays and vacations the Davis's had pulled him along on. They preferred to think of Lin as a third son rather than employee, which made Saya their first little granddaughter. They seemed to be more overjoyed than anyone else was. It also didn't help that they were showering him with attention which he did not want nor need. Being the introvert he was, Lin would have preferred if this whole matter had been treated with indifference, "You're discretion would have been appreciated."

"Just as yours would have been appreciated when I was hospitalized after using my powers." There was a smug sort of look on Naru's face that very much reminded Lin of the wicked witch from all the old fairy tales after she captured the princess. It was unsettling.

It suddenly clicked in Lin's brain, "This was revenge."

It seemed too petty a thought for Naru to have.

"Yes it was."

Apparently Lin overestimated him. Despite being mostly mature, Naru still had the same childish impulses as everyone else. Outside, there was a loud shriek and the sound of tinkling China followed by a loud 'Uh-Oh'. No doubt the tea cups were facing the wrath of Saya. Lin was starting to wonder if Naru's and Saya's mental ages were really all that different.

It will remain unsaid that the cogs in Lin's mind worked to find a suitable form of vengeance.

It seemed petty revenge-seeking was a universal impulse. Not that the geniuses at SPR would ever admit it.

New chapter will probably be up by the end of the week folks!
