I don't own Hadrian, Sheshona, Matteo, Wes, or Wen; Disney does. I do own Kane, Isabel, Jennifer, and Medea.

28: Rose colored glasses

"Kane, I can't believe you did this," Isabel said, staring out into the distance of harbor. Her usually stoic mask was dropped for the moment as her mouth hanging open, jaw on the ground.

Kane grinned proudly, putting his arms around her shoulders. "Isn't it great?!"

"Great is not the word I would use to describe this …" Isabel muttered with a grimace on her face as she eyes the monstrosity that her husband wasted money on. Why the hell does the team need a "Go Tower"? She could not even begin to guess.

"It's cool! The kids'll love it! It's like having a bat-cave. And the people of Go City won't mind. I mean, they have their own private superhero team!" Kane pointed out with a larger grin than before.

Isabel only sighed; Kane's going to spoil the kids something awful, she thought. It was too late to say anything now, though. The construction had already started and everything was already paid for. Her husband was a sneaky little bastard to tell her that he was spending the money on a "surprise." Well, mark this down as one surprise I could have done without.

Isabel did not say anything further and marched off to go back to the car. Kane ran from the dock over to his wife. He frowned a bit because she was obviously not very pleased with what he had done.

"Bella, it's just a new superhero toy. Like everything else I've bought since we started this. What's the problem?" he begged to know.

"You're just spoiling the kids. They don't need all of this shit," she pointed out.

"They don't need a lot of the things we give them, yet they still get them," he countered while opening the passenger door for her. She slipped in and then he trotted to the driver's side to get in.

"This is overdoing it, Kane. You could have used that money on something useful, not a big unnecessary base of operations while you guys play superhero," she rebutted.

Kane huffed. "Well, first off, we've been doing this long enough to where the kids take it pretty seriously, so it's not playing. Second off, they need a headquarters to plan stuff out when things get tough. It's not like it would be safe for them to run home. They need some place to mount a defense."

Isabel arched an eyebrow; she was now worried about something else. "Why do you keep saying 'they'? You don't want to do it anymore?"

"It's getting boring for me. Plus, it takes away a lot of the time that I could be with you and most of the time I really just want to lay around the house. The kids have it under control. I mean, as long as they're not fighting some sexy villainess, everything should be fine."

"Hell, even if you were there and they were fighting some sexy villainess things would get screwed up," Isabel remarked.

"Well, that is very true. This isn't holding my attention much. I'm sick of having to move around so much and at someone's whim too."

"So, you're going to quit?"

"Uh … yeah."

"Not only am I married to a lazy, annoying, perverted geek, but he's a quitter to boot. Why the hell did I have your children again?" Isabel teased.

Kane smiled, but he actually appeared a bit uneasy. "Cuz you think I'm cute," he cooed. "You don't mind, do you?" he asked just to be sure.

"It's fine. I trust Hadrian and Sheshona to watch everyone. Besides, with you around, I should be able to get a lot more practice in. You really have to learn to stick to your guns, though. It's a bit troubling to see you walk away from something that you were so enthused about just a couple of years ago. I don't want the kids to think it's okay to just walk away from commitments when they get bored," she pointed out.

Kane nodded. "Well, I just don't look at it as something too important. I mean, I do like spending the time with the kids and everything, but it gets annoying to have to go out every time someone calls me and that person isn't even you. I wouldn't walk away from something that is important, though. So, don't worry about that."

Isabel accepted that. Kane did not walk away from the hero business immediately, but he sort of eased out of it, going out less and less with the kids to stop bad guys. He did make sure to show them how to operate any new toys they got, though. The Go Tower was the first thing that he showed them all of the little gadgets in. He trained them to use all different types of vehicles; Sheshona and Matteo enjoyed piloting the most out of everything.

The Go Tower was equipped with training rooms to keep the kids in shape, which they adored. There were places to practice using their powers. There was a pool for them to do swimming exercises and simulators for them to train in almost any situation that came to mind. There were also private rooms for them to be alone. They loved Go Tower.

-8-8-8-8-

"Ah, a nice quiet day to lounge on the sofa without having to hear someone screaming my name … unless of course it's my precious Bella," Kane remarked to the air as he flopped down on the couch to relax.

Actually, no one would be screaming his name since he was alone in the house. Isabel had work and the kids were playing around in Go Tower as they were making it a habit to do. He was all alone, but he knew that he would find someway to amuse himself.

He turned on the television and grabbed his sketchbook. He flipped through the channels until he found something that would be suitable background noise while he worked on a picture. He worked on that for a little while until his Team Go communicator started going off. He sighed and reached over for it.

"Hey," Kane greeted whoever was calling him.

"We've got a monster bird situation. Are you gonna come along?" Sheshona inquired through the communicator.

He groaned. "Not that crazy bird guy again. How the hell did he get out of jail last time?"

"Knowing him, he'll say something like he flew the coop or some shit. He's got a new thing, though. He's screaming about how he's going to steal our powers and shit. So, you want to tag along?"

"You guys can handle that nut-job without me in the way."

"Suit yourself, Daddy."

The communication was disconnected and Kane went back to working on his picture. He decided to turn to the news to find out how things were going along with the giant monster bird and make sure the kids did not break too many things; he had to pay for that junk, after all.

He turned just in time to see the Go Jet fly into the news camera, chasing after a large vulture-looking creature. Kane was able to tell who was flying by what happened next; the jet rammed the bird. That had to be Matteo piloting because Sheshona had a thing about hurting animals; she got it from her mother.

The bird screeched in pain when the jet crashed into it. The animal turned to see what had harmed it and then surprisingly enough spit fire at the jet from its mouth. The plane avoided the hit just barely.

"Let me fly!" Shego demanded, trying to wrestle the controls from her younger brother. "You're going to get us killed!" she barked at the purple-haired young man. She was now sixteen and Mego was going to be fifteen soon.

"The hell I am! It's my turn to fly!" Mego argued while trying to pull away from Shego.

"Shego, it's his turn. It's only right that we take turns and share—" Hego started to reprimand her, but she was not trying to hear that at the moment.

"Save me your self-righteous bullshit! We're in the middle of a battle and Mego is fucking up. This isn't the time to share!" she stated and she flung Mego away from the controls.

Mego made a noise as he fell back and landed hard on the floor. Shego was about to turn the jet around while trying to figure out the best course of action in fighting a giant vulture that spit fire. Nothing was coming to mind and she was not getting any help. It did not help matters when she had to suddenly turn the plane.

"What the hell are you doing?" Hego hollered at Shego for her suddenly poor flying skills.

"He's shooting those fucking bird missiles at us from the ground! What the hell do you think we have all these monitors on the thing for?" Shego countered in a roar.

"We'll take care of that, sis!" the Wegoes declared.

The twins leaped out of the jet before anyone could stop them. Luckily, for just such emergencies, the young duo had parachutes installed right into their uniforms. The eldest two sighed in misery, knowing their mother would kill them if the twins came home with as much as a scratch on them.

"I've got an idea," Shego said, which they expected.

"So do I," Mego declared and was rightly ignored.

"Hego, when I swing the plane around again, you need to get out and pound the bird as hard as you can. You okay with that?" Shego asked.

"No problem. I hunt ducks sometimes, so I should be able to do it," Hego replied.

Shego did not say anything about that, knowing Hego went hunting with "his father." He was the one that had Mego thinking it was all right to hurt animals. Now, sure, she had a problem with harming animals and would rather not see the bird injured, but it was necessary. The bird might not know what it was doing, but it was still causing trouble in her city. It had to be stopped.

Shego turned the plane around and Hego jumped out. He came down on the bird with all he had. The creature cried out as its back bent in and it began to plummet to the street below. Hego followed, but was able to withstand the impact thanks to his powers. As soon as he touched down, a flock of screaming birds with razor sharp wings that let him know that they were not flesh and blood birds mobbed him.

Shego found out that her brothers on the ground were not doing a good job at keeping the missiles from the plane. She found a safe place to set the vehicle down and jumped out. She dashed off to join in the fighting.

"Wait for me!" Mego whined as he followed behind his older sister.

Mego joined in the battle and found himself in the same predicament as the eldest. The bird missiles seemed to be coming from everywhere and swarmed around each team member. They had to be careful, exploding too many of those things at once would surely mean serious injury or worse.

"Mego, shrink down and sneak up on that prick!" Shego ordered while dodging the deadly mechanical birds.

"Hey, I'm the leader around here! I make the plans!" Hego barked as he heard Shego dishing out orders, as she was starting to make it a habit of doing.

"This isn't the time for that. We've got to get to bird-boy before something serious happens," Shego countered with a growl. She could not believe that Hego would try to argue over something so stupid at such a serious moment. They were getting their asses kicked, after all.

Mego did not put up an argument and did his thing. He shrunk down and tried to sneak up on Aviarius, or the "bird-guy" as the team tended to call him, but he found out that their foe was ready for that. There was an energy field around the villain, who was standing off to the side of the battleground. Mego could not get to him with his powers.

"It's no good, sis!" Mego called right before Aviarius hit him with a blast from his power-stealing staff. Mego hollered in pain before collapsing.

"Mego!" Shego called and then snarled. "All right, bird-boy. You want to play rough, then I'll get rough," she mentally decided.

As Mego dropped to the ground, Shego flung a plasma-beam right at Aviarius, not caring about the fact that the explosive birds surrounded her. The beam hit his hand and his hissed in agony while dropped his staff, but it did not break. It hit the ground with a "clank" that was drowned out by the noise from the siblings and deadly birds around them.

"Fuck," Shego hissed. "Hego, do something, damn it!" she commanded. He called himself their leader then he needed to save their brother and get Mego's powers back.

"Uh … I'm a bit busy here, sis!" Hego pointed out while trying not to think about how pushy Shego became as she got older. What the hell happened to my little sister that followed me faithfully and listened to everything I said all the time?

Shego snarled and cut through the birds flocking around her. She tried to run over to the twins and help them, but bird-missiles came up behind her and blasted her in the back. She growled because of the pain from the small explosives.

"Shit, we might be in a bit of a pickle here. Where the fuck are all these birds coming from anyway?" the green-skinned teen wondered aloud.

Shego turned to slash at most of the projectiles, only to be hit by more on her blind side. She heard her baby brothers call out for her, as she had to bend down onto the pavement and rest on one knee. Her blood dripped onto the blacktop.

"Shego!" the twins called out, as did their dozens of clones, who were also fighting with swarms of bird missiles.

"You two find out where the hell all of those birds are coming from! Don't worry about me!" Shego replied.

The twins obeyed, searching for the source of the weapons. They were confident that their sister would be fine; she always was. They had a job and they would stick to it, if only to avoid being yelled at later on.

Shego had to get off of the ground because of the birds still diving into her and blowing her skin off. She flared her hands and destroyed everything around her. She started to march toward Aviarius, but circling bird-explosives blocked the view.

"Bastard," Shego hissed and considered just charging through the wall of birds. She was certain that it would hurt like hell, but she would get that bastard that hurt her brother. She decided to take that chance.

Aviarius had the nerve to laugh as he noticed Shego charging toward him. He would like to see her get through his defenses now. Imagine his surprise when she broke through the thick wall, which had somehow turned to flower petals, and he felt the full sting of Shego's burning hands. He fell back against a building, face bruising already as it felt like a flaming brick had punched him.

"The hell?" Shego muttered as she noticed the flower petals on her. She glanced back to see that she had just gone through a wall of roses.

"Just trying to be of some assistance," a nearly melodic voice commented from Shego's left.

The pale teen turned to see who was offering assistance and was surprised to see a strikingly beautiful young lady with a river of obsidian hair and just about the tastiest-looking lips Shego was sure she would ever see. The stranger's face was lovely, heart-shaped with high cheekbones. Shego's heart almost skipped a beat and then she noticed the outfit the other girl was wearing.

"You just escape for a haunted house or did they kick you out of a Halloween parade?" the green-skinned hero remarked because her helper was wearing quite the cheesy witch costume, complete with the pointed black cap.

"How rude. And to think I actually helped you out," the other girl commented while turning her nose up.

Shego chuckled a bit, apparently happy to have offended the decidedly beautiful girl. She then got to see first hand how the girl turned the missiles into rose petals because she did it again to save Hego and the Wegoes from their humming bird tormentors. Shego turned her attention to Aviarius.

"Now, tell me why I shouldn't pound your skull in for what you did to him?" Shego growled while grabbing Aviarius by the collar and nodding down to her unconscious brother.

The villain was visibly shaking. "He'll be fine! He's just stunned!" the bird man's voice trembled as bad a his body.

"He better be," she snarled.

She snatched the staff from Aviarius' hand and broke it up. Mego's purple glow returned to him and Shego then rendered Aviarius unconscious from one move to the neck. The usual commotion was made as soon as the coast was clear while a certain yellow-glow seemed to fade away from the scene; Kane had shown up when it looked like the kids were having a little trouble from one of their regular foes. He was glad that he did not have to step in, though; the kids would have probably been pissed if I helped after saying I'd leave it to them, he thought.

Hego gave one his long-winded speeches that seemed to get longer every time he gave one. Mego tried to do the same while the Wegoes made faces behind his back. Shego turned her attention to the girl that helped them.

"Don't just butt in on our fights anymore. This isn't some game," Shego pointed out.

"I know what it is and what it isn't. I've been around for a while. Surely, you've heard of me. I'm Medea, the wandering witch," the assistant declared quite proudly.

Shego only blinked. Am I supposed to know that name or something? The girl's expression seemed to suggest that she should.

"Never heard of you," Shego said dismissively while starting to walk off. She had to retrieve the jet, after all.

"What? How could you have never heard of me? I travel the whole planet, helping fight crime!" Medea said, chasing after the pale teen.

"Doesn't ring any bells and don't follow me," Shego ordered.

"I know you've heard of me! I'm famous!"

Shego shook her head and decided to ditch the annoyance by scaling a building in a way that she figured no ordinary person could follow. She used her martial arts and powers to climb up the building. She was surprised when Medea beat her to the top.

"How the hell did you do that?" Shego demanded to know.

"I told you, I'm a witch. Now, I know you've heard of me. Just think about it," Medea practically begged.

"I've never heard of you. Why don't you go try that big blow-hard down there. He keeps up with all of the hero crap," Shego commented while motioning down to her brother. It seemed like he took things just as seriously now as he did when they were kids and he did research to find out what heroes were out there in the world and if they were better than Team Go; competitive streak, she knew. For her, if the hero was not in a comic book, then the hero was not worth knowing.

Medea glanced down at Hego and noticed that he was still talking. "Overdoing a bit, isn't he?"

"He likes to lay it on thick as a brick," Shego remarked while climbing into the jet.

Medea chuckled, but did not realize that Shego was making her escape until it was too late. She took off after the plane and smiled at Shego went she was in view of the pilot. Shego balked when she saw the witch flying next to her.

"This is some bullshit. All because I never heard of her?" Shego muttered.

They did not fly for long, even though Shego was tempted to tease the witch. She did not want to tempt fate with the jet after those missiles damaged it. So, she landed on the island that Go Tower was situated on and Medea landed with her. When she noticed the witch, she saw that the other girl was panting and sweating.

"You okay?" Shego inquired, making sure to sound as annoyed as she looked.

"Fine. Just a little tired from using my powers for so long," Medea explained.

"If you get tired from using them so much, you shouldn't follow me while using them," Shego said without an ounce of compassion.

"You really haven't heard of me?" Medea inquired with a pout. Her eyes appeared a bit watery, like she was hurt that the other girl had really never heard of her.

"Nope," Shego proclaimed, almost as if she was proud that she had not heard of the other girl.

Medea frowned, but a strange determined glint appeared in her eyes. Shego ignored it and ignored Medea. She went into the Go Tower, leaving the witch to think twice about following her.

"She was cute, though," Shego commented to herself.

-8-8-8-8-

Kane made it back home and was stunned to find Isabel waiting for him. He rushed her and embraced her as if he had not seen her in years. She smiled.

"You're mighty energetic. I guess not going out to play superhero does you well," she commented.

"I suppose. The kids handled things fine," he replied.

"I know," she stated plainly. She watched the news, after all. "Looks like they might have some competition with the witch in town, though."

"You've heard of that girl?" he asked curiously.

"In passing. She does the same thing as our children, but on a global scale because she never stays anywhere for too long. She doesn't keep her identity a secret and so its known that she moves around so much because her father is in the army. She'll probably be going to school with Hadrian and Shona."

Kane nodded. "Well, she'll have friends, at least."

"Or enemies with the way Shona acts sometimes."

Kane chuckled at that; his wife had a point, he supposed. She had a big point because when Sheshona saw Medea in school the next day, she pretended to not know the other hero, even though Medea could guess that Sheshona was Shego. Many people easily guessed that one as they doubted it was a coincidence that Sheshona and Shego had the same complexion, practiced the same martial arts, had the same hair style, and had four brothers that were all rather similar to the superhero alter egos.

"Look, why the hell don't you just leave me alone?" Sheshona huffed as Medea just popped up outside of her physics class. It was a class for college credits since Shego had completed her science requirements for high school already. She also took morning classes in math for college credits.

"What makes you think I'm not in this class, too?" Medea inquired.

"Because I doubt you even know that two falling bodies accelerate at the same speed despite their weight because of the pull of gravity unless acted on by some outside force," the green-skinned female replied plainly.

Medea was dumbstruck for a moment. Sheshona donned one of her smug expression; she had come to perfect them at sixteen years old now. Medea looked like she might be prepared to respond, but Sheshona beat her to it.

"Exactly. You have no clue, so I doubt you're in this class. So, leave me alone," Sheshona said while marching into the room.

Medea appeared crushed for a moment; Sheshona noticed, but did not seem to care. Well, she did take a lingering look at the witch before taking her seat. A boy came up behind Medea and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't let anything Sheshona says get you too down. She's been a little cranky since her best friend graduated. She's an okay girl, smart as hell too, so keep at it if you want to be her friend," he advised Medea before entering the room.

Medea took his advice, feeling compelled to become known by Sheshona. It was rare that she met fellow female heroes, so she felt a need to connect to the other girl. It was not too hard to become known to Sheshona once she learned Sheshona's class schedule because all Sheshona did was go to school and work out. She did not seem to have any interest in clubs and she was not allowed on any teams since it was an open secret that she had superpowers; Hadrian had been kicked off the football team for the same reason, which he had not taken well—it still stung him like an unrelenting wasp.

"Why are you following me?" Sheshona inquired in a huff as Medea appeared right next to her as school was dismissed. "Don't you have anything better to do with your time?"

"Nope," Medea answered honestly. "You must really not like me to keep giving me a hard time about being near you."

"It's not that I don't like you. I don't like everyone," Sheshona pointed out matter-of-factly.

"Well, they said your best friend graduated, so you must've liked her."

"She wasn't my best friend," Sheshona said almost coldly. Jennifer was more than a friend, more than a best friend if her experience with other best friends meant anything. Jennifer was a guide, a mentor, and it did hurt that she was gone, even though she called and wrote all of the time; Sheshona always teased her that she was more of a pest when there was distance between them.

Medea looked confused by that, but continued to try to drum up conversation. She actually walked all the way home with Sheshona because of that. The pale teen did not seem to notice until it was too late. She sighed and just went in the house without bidding Medea goodbye.

"I saw you walking home with that cute girl. Replacing Jen already?" Kane teased as soon as Sheshona was in the door.

"Nobody can replace Jen!" Sheshona practically snarled as if her father had serious insulted her.

He just grinned. "I know. She was cute, though."

"Annoying as hell, though," Sheshona commented. And yet, she walked home with Medea again the next day and the day after that.

Kane thought it was amusing. There was always someone out there, no matter how much Sheshona resisted that person, she worked her way into Sheshona's life through sheer grit and annoyance. Medea was the new person to do that.

"God, it's like watching you chase me," Isabel commented as she and her husband watched out the window as Sheshona came up the walk with Medea.

"Hey. You're worth it and apparently, so is Shona. Well, since Shona seems to be fine for once, what say we turn our attention to the other problem in the house," Kane suggested while glancing up the stairs.

"I'd rather deal with something else. He's gotten so unapproachable since he was cut from the team," Isabel sighed in sorrow for their eldest. She really just wanted to beat him in the skull, but used that approach and found it did not work. Yelling did not work either, so she was running out of useable skills with the young man.

"Well, we must approach."

"I know. Did he come in already?"

"I think so."

The couple walked away from the window and ascended the stairs, hoping to speak to Hadrian. They knocked on his door, but he did not respond. Isabel eased the door open and found Hadrian lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling.

"Hadrian, are you ready to talk about it?" Isabel inquired. Sometimes, she wished that she could approach him like she did with Sheshona, pretend not care and get into a little argument where she found out what was wrong and Sheshona was left feeling better. Her sons just did not work that way. At least the younger ones had no problem with opening up, not to her or Kane. Hadrian seemed to keep building a very thick wall, though.

"I'm fine, Mommy. I mean, it makes sense that they would cut me from the team if my grades aren't good enough," Hadrian said in a grumble. He was trying to sound nonchalant, but he just could not pull it off.

Isabel nodded a bit; she knew that the coach lied to Hadrian when saying his grades were not good enough. Now, his grades were not stellar and he was not in any honors classes like his sister and Matteo, but his grades were not so bad to get him cut. It was just that the coach had to say that after Hadrian refused to admit that he had superpowers or that he was a superhero or even that he was somehow cheating because of his powers. Hadrian had refused to bow out gracefully, refused to admit that he was doing anything wrong, and basically disrespected his coach whenever the man tried to give him a decent out.

"It's no big deal," the teen insisted, waving his parents off.

Isabel and Kane decided to leave Hadrian alone. They knew that they could only talk to him when was ready to talk about it. They suspected that the reason he had been throwing so much of himself into his superhero work was because he was upset about being off of the team. He needed something to hold onto, something that was his to own and run.

Hadrian frowned while thinking about it. How the fuck could they just cut me? I was the best goddamn player that they had! I can play offense and defense better than any of them. I was the one that took them to the goddamn championship last year! We fucking won because of me! It was all thanks to me!

Little did he know, but the championship was under debate because of his open secret, which he was trying his best to keep a closed secret. He always denied when someone accused him of being Hego and he thought that should be enough for people to buy that he really was not Hego. He did not understand why they did not believe him.

Adding to his annoyance was his parents bugging him about things. He could not talk to them. They did not know a damn thing about football; God, Kane still thinks that "football" means fucking soccer! Not that he cares anyway, not like my dad does. His mother could not even remember what position he played because of her ignorance of all things "sports." He was not sure they did not know those things because they did not care or because they just could not figure it out, but it still bothered him.

"Shit, I bet if Shona or Matt or even the twins were playing football they'd at least learn the damn positions," he growled out of the blue. Part of him wondered where that thought came from.

Hadrian impulsively got out of the bed and stormed out of the house. On his way down the walk, he passed by Sheshona and Medea. Sheshona watched him, taking in his tense expression.

"Hadrian, what's wrong?" Sheshona called to his retreating form.

"Fuck off, Shona!" Hadrian replied.

Sheshona frowned. "Fuck you, too!" she said. "See if I ever give a damn about him again," she muttered to herself, forgetting that she had company.

"Everything okay with you two?" Medea asked curiously.

"Yeah, my brother just suffers from bouts of being a complete and utter jackass," Sheshona answered while turning her attention back to the witch-girl in front of her.

"Oh … okay," Medea said for lack of a better response. "So, we're good for the movies tomorrow night?"

"Yeah, whatever," Sheshona replied as if she did not care. Of course, if she really did not care, she would not have agreed to go.

-8-8-8-8-

Hadrian knocked on a door, a frown marring his strong jaw and his eyes burning with anger. He did look a little relieved when the door open. He stepped inside.

"Hey, Hadrian, I didn't expect to see you today," Jason greeted the boy.

"Hey, Dad. I didn't really expect to come by, but you're the only one I can talk to about this. I got cut from the football team. What the hell am I supposed to do now?" Hadrian begged to know.

"Come on and tell me about it. We can watch a game or two while you're at it."

Hadrian nodded and went to talk to Jason about his problems with the football team. It seemed like his whole high school identity was attached to playing football, which was something that Jason understood completely. He was able to assure Hadrian that it was no big deal and he could get back on the field in college. Jason was certain that any college team would kill to have Hadrian.

"Thanks for all the help, Dad," Hadrian said with sincere gratitude and honest relief in his voice. "You're the only one that gets me, you know?"

"You don't have to thank me. I'm your father and I'll always be there for you, you know that. I'm here when no one else is here. More than that Kane guy offers up, huh?" Jason commented.

Hadrian had the nerve to nod, agreeing. In his opinion, Jason was there much more than Kane, especially to help him through the difficult things, like being cut from football. Jason was there to treat him to dinner and celebrate when he won games. Jason was there to take him, and only him, places. Jason knew what positions he played in football. Yes, my dad is there way more than Kane ever was or is, Hadrian concluded.

-8-8-8-8-

Next time: with high school coming to a close for both Hadrian and Sheshona, Hadrian manages to completely screw up his relationships with his parents and his little sister.
