NATALIE TRUDGED THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR OF her shared apartment with Ethan following after her. She was completely beat after the day that she had. After the ordeal at the tower, her, Connor and Hank had left the crime scene and headed to the police precinct where Natalie worked on Connor's injury and fixed him up. After that, Hank dropped Natalie back off at Carl's home where she met up with Ethan. She has been bombarded with quite a lot of questions about what had happened at the tower by both her brother and godfather. She explained what she could to the duo to it being an ongoing investigation.

She took off her green sweatshirt and tore off her beanie from her head in obvious exhaustion. If she had known that going back out into the world would be this tiring then she would have definitely rethought her decision. She threw her sweater and hat on the couch before plopping down on it with a satisfying sigh. Oh, she was totally ready to just fall asleep right there. Though before she could do that the annoying sound of a phone startled her slightly.

The brunette groaned loudly as Ethan quickly pulled out his phone to answer it. "Turn that off, Ethan!"

Her brother just rolled his eyes at his sister's behavior and answered the phone without looking at the caller id. "Hello?" He paused and the upturn in his lips quickly dipped downward. Natalie didn't notice it and rather decided to close her eyes and try to fall asleep on the couch even if she was in an uncomfortable position. "Yes. Why do you want to know?" The hostility in his voice was quite clear to Natalie's sleepy mind. "I doubt she'd want to talk right now, sorry mom."

Natalie sat up straight and alert now that she knew her brother was talking to their mother. She could already picture the scowl on the old woman's face as Ethan argued with Marian Wilson-Tyler.

After first impressions, anyone would be able to tell that their mother is a woman who submits very easily to any sort of power. Some may say that she was spineless and bent to please anyone while also being cowardly and easily manipulated. Though Natalie thought that her mother was a terribly misguided person. Yet that didn't excuse the things that Marian had done to her daughter in the past. Natalie hadn't talked to her mother in over two years let alone seen her and the rest of her family. She loathed all of them for leaving her alone for such a long time in a desperate time. Carl, Ethan, and Elijah were the only family she had in her mind. They were the only ones there for her.

"Mom, I just said she doesn't want to talk to you!" At the growing frustration in Ethan's tired voice, Natalie hesitantly reached her palm out for the phone. Ethan stared at her hand like it was a foreign object ready to attack him at any moment. Why did Natalie have her hand out in his direction? "Just stop!"

"Give it here," Natalie sighed out in resignation. She knew that their mother would persist in her attempt to talk with her. Natalie didn't doubt that their mother would somehow find her number and call her herself. She could be stubborn like that. It wasn't like the brunette knew what their mother wanted and Natalie didn't particularly care all that much. However, there was a small part of her that was curious to hear what her mother had to say. Especially after nearly three years of no contact.

Ethan shook his head at her like she was insane, "no way."

Natalie sighed through her nose, "you know she won't stop bugging you until she actually talks to me. So give it here."

Ethan hesitated and thought about what he should do. However, before he could make a clear decision, Natalie jumped at him and fought to take the phone from him. They played a short game of tug-o-war for a few minutes before Natalie successfully pulled the phone from Ethan's hands. The younger boy whined in protest but was shushed when Natalie just pushed him away from her.
