Who: The Hollis Family (aw)
Where: 1202 to wherever they go
When: Friday evening
What: They have to have a Talk too.
Warnings: Evie's angry, Jack's a jerk, and Nick is awkward. Usual Hollis!



Nick wasn't settled with this idea of going out to dinner with Jack and Evie. They were family, but Evie and Jack butted heads more often than not. She wasn't going to take this well, nor did Nick think Evie would even leave the apartment without a fight. It was tiring, but he'd work as the mediator if he had to. Coaxing Evie out wouldn't be too hard, but convincing Jack that they all weren't crazy wasn't his idea of a good time.

Nick tugged a t-shirt over his head and stepped out of his room, going to knock on Evie's door. "Evie? Can I come in?" Polite as ever, even with his little sister.

"Yeah, of course." Evie grinned and moved away from her door. Then Nick's next words got to her and she stopped. In a series of shifts that were smooth and instantaneous, she tensed, crossing her arms and making her face as stubborn as she could. "What? Why?"

Nick looked up at the ceiling for a moment as if he was praying to god that some divine intervention would help him. Though, Nick was sure she'd just punch out the angel anyway. "Because," Nick started. Stopped and shrugged his shoulders a little.

"We need to talk as a family. I want us to."

Evie scowled-- not at Nick, but at a point somewhere over his left shoulder. "Jack made it really clear ten years ago that he didn't want us to be his family." It didn't matter what change of heart bullshit her oldest brother spewed out, there would always be that. Not that she wasn't going to do this if Nick really wanted it. But she was going to dig her heels as much as she could.

"But he's the only family we've got," Nick reminded her quietly. "Marissa's home less and less..."

He hesitated to bring it up, shrugging again and looking down at scuffed sneakers. "We don't have a lot left, Evie. He could be...you know, taking care of us soon."

Marissa had never been home a lot, but Nick wouldn't know that. Evie was doing her best to keep her brothers from figuring out how much she had been left to her own devices over the past several years. That would make them more overbearing and she didn't need to be taken care of, no matter what they may think.

Nicky though-- Nicky wasn't ready to be thrown out into the city to fend for himself and that was enough to make Evie drag her feet to her dresser to find something to wear so that she could change out of her running clothes. "He better not act like a jerk," she warned, scowl still fixed on her face as she dug through her shirts. "Do I have to dress nice?"

"I'm not dressing nice," Nick told her. Not that he really had all that many clothes to begin with. He went over to tug Evie into a hug and kissed the top of her head. "And I can't promise he won't act like a jerk. He's Jack. It's what he does."

He pulled back and grinned at her. "I'll let you get ready." And stepped out of her bedroom, shutting the door behind him. He went to the living room and settled on the couch, wondering when Jack was actually going to show up for this.

Evie changed into jeans and zipped an athletic jacket over her tank-top before going out to wait with him. "This is a bad idea," she told him flatly. Marissa had left that morning and wasn't home yet, so she didn't mind being in the main part of her apartment. "You're too nice to him, Nicky," Evie said without any real heat as she settled on the arm of the couch beside him.

Nick looked up at her and shrugged again. "Maybe." He laughed when she told him he was too nice to Jack. "I've tried to attack him a lot already. Your idea of that being nice to Jack is really weird, Eves."

Evie rolled her eyes. "Yeah, 'cause he deserved it. That doesn't count." She patted his head affectionately. "You talk to him without getting mad, mostly, is what I'm saying."

Nick quirked an eyebrow up at Evie. "You just get mad easy at him." He chuckled a little and settled, dropping his head ton rest it on her leg. "Besides, we need to convince him to stay away or go to a motel or something with this full moon business. I don't really want to fight anyone."

Groaning, Evie leaned back on her elbows. "He's so easy to get mad at though! He's completely full of himself." She scowled at the door, as if Jack was there already. "Do you think he'd do that?"
