Kaz's P.O.V. 

Oliver and I were hanging out at The Domain, a day after what happened with Juliana. I hadn't slept well, and my thoughts were super clouded. Well, more than they usually are. I was really worried about her, and about what Horace had said to her and Alan. Had she decided to run away? Maybe she wasn't coming to The Domain today. Maybe she wasn't coming back ever. 

"Man, I'm getting really good at this!" Oliver exclaimed as he was playing a game. "I should be a demon hunter in real life. That, or a high school teacher."

"Oh, go with the demon hunter, they deal with fewer demons," I said. 

Oliver tossed me the remote and I turned to put it away. 

"Oh, no," Oliver said. "It's my dad. He keeps asking where I go after school every day, and I can't tell him about our job." I put on an ugly alien mask and turned to him with my hands on my hips. "Kaz!"

"What?" I asked. "Do I have something on my face?" I felt the mask while grinning. 

"This is serious. What am I gonna tell my dad?"

"Just tell your dad you're hanging out here," I said, like it was obvious, and took off the mask. 

"He doesn't want me coming here. He thinks all this superhero stuff is a waste of time."

"Oh, and like what he does is so important." I restarted the game Oliver had been playing. 

"He's a brain trauma researcher."

"Just tell your dad you're hanging out at my house." 

"I can't. He also doesn't want me hanging out with you. He thinks you're reckless, out of control, and never take responsibility for your own actions."

"One time you go home with half of your head shaved, and suddenly I'm reckless?" Oliver rolled his eyes. "And I take responsibility for my actions." I swung out my arm, and the remote I was holding slipped out of my grasp and hit an action figure! "Wasn't me, he did it," I quickly said while pointing at Oliver. 

Oliver glared up at me, so I sighed and went over to grab the action figure, Brain Matter. It took a few minuted of struggle, but I eventually managed to fix it. 

"There," I said. "Brain matter is good as new."

"His head is on backwards," Oliver pointed out.

"Well, then he's better than new, he now has the power to see his own butt."

Oliver laughed and rolled his eyes. I heard the sound of the door and quickly looked up to see if it was Juliana, but it was only Jordan and Gus. 

"Oliver, Kaz, help us settle an argument," Gus said as they walked over. "This snake looks poisonous, right?" He opened a shoe box and I looked in, but there was no snake. 

"Gus, there's nothing in there," Oliver said. 

"Uh-oh, this is terrible! Now we'll never be able to settle our argument."

"Gus, we're not having an argument," Jordan stated. "You're talking to yourself, and I'm listening to a book on tape."

I ignored them as I looked at the Brain Matter action figure. "I wonder why they stopped making brain matter comic books and movies," I wondered aloud as I stood. "There hasn't been one in years."

"Oh, no," Oliver said. "I know that look. You're gonna search obsessively for the answer to a totally unimportant question."

"Yeah," Jordan said. "Even if it means abandoning your school work, your friends, and your already shaky commitment to showering."
