He probably should have waited more than a few seconds but Nate quickly got bored and poked his head around the corner to peak at the goings on. He was curious about who was going to get shot first. Although he had a feeling it would be Vin, he hoped it wouldn't be. Partially because he felt somewhat responsible for him being here but mostly because he knew it would make JJ even more annoying to be around. All those tears...Or maybe lack thereof. Nate honestly couldn't tell if Jennifer liked Vin or was just stringing him along. She was a confusing one.

Nate watched the girl and the old man pull themselves out of the truck after Eli barked at them and he had a brief flashback to his time in the military. He quickly shook it off though, knowing that he had to stay in the present. Stay focused. Something that he was finding harder and harder to do these days. There were so many thoughts running through his head all at once that it was increasingly difficult to focus on anything. He had to try though.

The old man tried his best to diffuse the situation but at the same time still wanted answers. Nate found that simultaneously brave and dumb. He had to admire the balls on the old man. Droopy as they may have been. Driving up on a bunch of heavily armed weirdos out in the middle of nowhere took a set. Nate admired that to the point of doing something potentially really stupid. The old man wanted answers, so...

"We're on the run from the cops, the feds, crazy rednecks and a mysterious organisation and looking for answers about why we all suddenly have superpowers that may or may not be the result of genetic mutations, bioengineering, magic or bad onion dip." He had blurted that all out without even thinking about it and immediately realised how stupid it was. His eyes slowly widened at the looks being shot his way and he added "I mean...nothing! Shut up! You're not my real dad!" then slowly disappeared back into the mine.
