Adrian was in his room everything around the house was filled with darkness, his eyes were sunken and his hair was a mess. He had slight stubble coming in on his chin and his clothes were all baggy, he was a total mess. He couldn't get sleep, nor even eat; he had grown thin.

Bandit scowled as she stared up at the mansion at the front door, noticing it did look different. She glanced behind her at Abaddon, before she turned away and opened the door, walking in.

Abaddon happily followed after her, Adrian could hear the door open and his eyes turned completely blank as he walked out of the hallway, "What did I tell you, Simon... I'm fine, I don't need you--" Adrian went quiet as he saw Bandit. 

"Oh wow, at least someone took care of you," Bandit said with a snort, setting her and Abaddon's stuff on the couch.

Adrian's eyes widened as he dropped to the floor, tears filling his eyes, "I'm so sorry... Bandit- I can't take back what I did, nor what I said... I'm so sorry for everything I did.." He looked at the ground.

"Why don't you go hug your father and give him the love he needs?" Bandit asked Abaddon, patting his head for support with it.

Abaddon nodded his head and rushed over to go hug Adrian, and as he hugged him, Adrian pulled him into his grasp and looked at Bandit.

"What? Do you think after I came back, everything would be back to normal and I'd be giving you love as well?" Bandit asked, with hatred-narrowed eyes.

"I didn't say that..." He said as he got up, picking Abby up as he shifted into a ferret and perched on Adrian's shoulders.

Bandit looked Adrian up and down, her eyes narrowing more, "Go to the bathroom. You need to wash up. You look like shit."

Adrian set Abby down, kissing the top of his head, "I'll be right back" He smiled softly and he stood up straight, turning away from Bandit as the house started to shift and twist into a lighter more happy tone.

Bandit picked up Abaddon's bag, "Take this and go unpack Abby."

"Okiee" He grabbed his bag and went to his room, putting it on his bed.

Bandit grabbed hers and went to their room, as she looked around it. She scoffed softly but begin unpacking her stuff.

Adrian came out, his hair back to normal and his clothes were a simple hoodie and jeans. His eyes were still slightly sunken.

"Adrian, come here," she said, turning to look at him as she gestured. 

Adrian stumbles his way over to her.

Bandit hummed in amusement at his struggle but went over and helped him. She then put both her hands under his hoodie and pressed them against his sides, "Ah. As I expected, you've also lost weight."

He closed his eyes as she put her hands against his sides, "I haven't really eaten since you left... I haven't forgiven myself.." 

"Forgive yourself, Adrian. Abaddon and I are back, and we'll stay if you don't pull that shit again," she commented, slowly removing her hands. 

He opened his eyes and he wrapped his arms around Bandit, "I am never doing that again.. I can't lose you again.." He held her close as tears ran down his cheeks.

Bandit slightly rolled her eyes but hugged him back to make him feel better. She gave him a nice, tender hug with comforting pats on the back.

He held her close, "I promise you that I'll be better, just please never leave like that again..." He slowly pulled away and looked down at her.

Bandit narrowed her eyes in thought, humming. "Fineee," she drew out slowly.

"Thank you" He sighed out with happiness, "Now how about some food?"

Bandit reached up and slowly wiped the tear streaks from his face. She pulled away, "Sure. I'll order some food from somewhere. I'm too lazy to cook tonight."

"I can cook if you wish," He smiled as he leaned against her touch, and he straightened his posture as she pulled away

Bandit slightly smirked when she noticed, but shook her head, "No, you aren't doing shit. I will order some food, and tonight..." she paused to think about what they could do tonight, "a movie?"

Adrian nodded his head, "Okay, and sure a movie sounds great" He smiled.

"Great. Go get Abaddon, and pick out one," Bandit moved away and rummaged through her bag for her phone.

Adrian managed to go through the door and down the hallway; opening Abaddon's door, "Hey big guy, you wanna watch a movie with Mom and me?" He asked as he smiled, Abaddon nodded his head. "Can we watch Children of the Corn?" Abaddon asked, "But thats a horror movie; I thought you hated things that scared you," Adrian said.

Bandit found her phone and dialed the number for the Chinese place, making an order for all three of them. She said the address before ending the call and setting her phone back in her back pocket. Bandit unpacked the rest of her stuff and after she finished, went downstairs.

Adrian was flipping through Netflix, trying to find something to watch for all three of them, he looked at Abby and said "How about this?" He flipped over to Supernatural. 

Bandit scoffed, stopping at the back of the couch, "Really? Supernatural?"

Adrian shrugged his shoulders, "What? It's good, plus kinda fits in with our life." Abaddon looked at her, "Can we please watch it, Mom?"

Bandit glared down at both of them, "fine," she growled out softly.

"Yay!" Abaddon smiled really big as Adrian put on the show.

Bandit glared daggers at nothing in particular, moving away when she heard a buzzing noise from her phone. "I said a movie, not a series.." she muttered to herself, going to the front door. She opened it, her angered-filled eyes scaring the poor, young delivery dude. He quickly gave her the food and left.

Adrian laughed softly as he sat on the couch next to Abby, his eyes looking over at Bandit as color flooded into his hollow sockets.

Bandit looked around the house, merely looking for something to smash. She was still holding the food, but it was food and she was hungry, and didn't want to get rid of it.

Adrian held Abby close before drifting off to sleep in the middle of the episode, Abby; of course being hungry got up. 

Bandit set the food down on a table by the couch, picking up a carton of rice. She thought about getting plates.

He snatched some Chinese food and smiled, "Thank you, mom"

"You're welcome," she grumbled, dumping some chicken in the carton of rice she got for herself and pouring some sauce in it. She got herself a fork and sat down by Adrian.

Abby opened his food, it being noodles with chicken, he grabbed chopsticks and crisscrossed them on the floor.

Bandit looked over at Adrian before she jabbed him in the side with her fork.

He immediately woke up, "What was that for?"

"The food is here," she pointed at the Chinese food with her fork. 

"Oh- thank you- ill eat in a minute," He said running his fingers over his face.

Bandit eyed him, "When was the last time you slept, Adrian?"
