"You're back?" Caleb furrowed his eyebrows.
"You really have gotten more observant, brother dearest." Thunder retorted, walking down the stairs.
"Why exactly are you back?" Evelyn glared at her.
"I'm not back to make your life hell. Be assured." Thunder smiled, sarcastically as she stepped off the last step.
"You already do just by exis-" Evelyn's eyes narrowed at her but, was cut off when Caleb put his hand on her shoulder.
"Why are you back, Thunder?" Caleb repeated, softly. The youngest Danvers paused for a few moments, eyes carrying the same glint in her eyes as she looked at the eyes, that resembled hers.
"Why, of course because, I've missed you, brother." She shrugged before turning around to go somewhere in the huge manor. Her eyes were too blank as she looked at Caleb so, naturally Caleb knew it was not that reason. And he wasn't the only one who knew that.
"Am I the only one who doesn't believe that at all?" Tyler whispered to the boys.
"She can't have possibly dropped everything in England and come back just because, she missed Caleb." Reid pointed out as they - minus Evelyn - lounged in Caleb's room. He was lying on Caleb's bed while Tyler was sitting at the foot of the bed. Pogue leaned against the doorframe of the ensuite, watching Caleb pace in anxiety.
"I'm just saying it's okay to miss your loved ones." Tyler shrugged.
"It's okay to miss Caleb but, she could've rented a motel or something.. What is not okay for her is that she came back here, where Evelyn is." Pogue explained.
"Something's wrong with her. I felt it.. This sounds really clichè but, I felt it.. Just like I felt it with Chase." Caleb ran a hand down his face.
"So, what are you gonna do about it?" Reid questioned after a minute's silence.
"We're gonna take shifts watching her.. We're just gonna try questioning her, every now and then." Caleb answered.
"You're asking us to spy on your sister?!" Tyler exclaimed in disbelief.
"Do you have any other suggestions? We can't make the same mistakes we did with Chase." Caleb looked at him, sharply.
"So, you're gonna risk her finding out and never trusting us again? You're gonna risk her leaving again?" Pogue raised an eyebrow at his friend's choice.
"She's not leaving, again." Caleb tensed, definsively.
"Caleb, everything has a first time. This is your first time coming up with a shitty plan." Reid snapped.
"If one of you has a better suggestion then, be my guest." Caleb rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, actually. There is a better suggestion. Just be normal with her. Hang out. Be there for her. She's your sister, who you haven't seen in five years, man." Pogue frowned.
"Yes. But, again.. She feels different." Caleb repeated.
"Duh.. Puberty does that to people." Reid shrugged, jokingly.
"Reid, you're disgusting." Caleb used, forcing a pillow to hit Reid on the back of his head as Pogue and Tyler smirked.
"Not that that is news but, why?" The previously mentioned Danvers spoke from her place in front of the opened door. They all stopped, looking at her. "Can you make it more obvious that you were talking about me?" She rolled her eyes at them.
