"And I see you're very close with your siblings." Sophie added quietly. "And the boy in the pictures, the older one. Another brother?" She asked hesitantly, not sure if she wanted to ask the question.

"Yes. He's dead however now. Died about five years ago," she shrugged again.

"Hmm I guess since I was in eighth grade. We met in the hospital actually. I know her parents aren't home too often and her and Danny are really close but...well thats it. She seems to have a fine family life. Her mother is a bad cook though her aunt is good at it. Zima gets along fine with her parents, why do you ask?" Robin replied, careful of his answers so as not to cause trouble for Zima.

"I'm very sorry for your loss." Sophie said softly. There was a moment where she was trying to pick out the words for the question that was on her mind. And then she realized that perhaps starting with the answer, rather than the question, would be the easiest way to bring it up. "You invited me here because of the article." While this was technically a question, she said it as if it were a statement. "If I were to guess... it's because of the objections I had to it." Again, a statement rather than a question. Sophie made the assumption that she was right and considered why Aphrodite had invited her over. It was a long moment before she spoke again. "I can see why you think I don't do much for my brother." Sophie admitted. "And if you did a strict one for one combination, you would be right. At least compared to yourself."

Jordan looked at Robin carefully before sighing to himself and pocketing his hands once more. He looked down, as he did this, noticing that it had become quite a habit after a while. He didn't know why but he figured it was maybe a sign of nervousness or something he did when he didn't know what to do in a situation. He decided to put that on the back of his head before addressing Robin once more. "It's just, Zima and Danny are always getting bruises and I know that Zima and her mom don't really seem to get along."

He didn't know if Robin really did know something, but he was sure that telling him now was probably something he should try. "I'm worried that they might be getting abused at home, if you know something then please tell me, if you don't then that's okay but if you lie and I find out then," he looked down for a moment before putting his hand on his face, almost as if he was trying to calm himself down. "Nevermind."

Anna had gotten a text from Jordan telling her that the meeting had ended, he didn't tell her if this meant that club activities were back on or not so she and Dia decided to go there anyways. "I wonder where Danny is," she pointed out with a pensive expression along with a worried tone.

(Nope, at the beginning Jeremy was a founding member as well)

Jeremy simply observed the argument that took place between Zima and Nate. Frankly in his opinion it was all rather dumb, and he found their dispute rather meaningless, there really wasn't any point.

OOC: The original four members were Jordan, Erika, Nate and Melissa, Erika and Jeremy joined a bit later but they weren't part of the original founding members. GM fact.

IC: Anna noticed Erika, Nathan and Jeremy were in the clubroom, but she couldn't see Jordan or Zima. "Hi," she said while waving.

"Yo." Erika spoke up, waving an arm back at Anna. Her thoughts were still somewhat clouded.

"I hope everything went well," Anna pointed out before looking at Jeremy once more. She walked over to him for a moment and scratched her chin. "By the way Jeremy, there's something I've always wanted to know....do you have any hobbies?"

"Hobbies? Well I suppose I like to read and write, photography too. Oh, and I like traveling" Jeremy responded, "Why do you ask?"

"Well it's just you seem really mysterious and such," Anna pointed out honestly as she brushed her hair back and shrugged. "I mean we're a team we should all get to know each other better," she explained before chuckling. "It's funny that your hobbies match your branch, though I guess that makes sense, traveling also sounds pretty cool."

"My father had money. A nice good job so when he was sixteen and got his driver's license, my father bought him a car. So on his high school graduation my parents wanted to go straight home not liking having left little kids with a sitter for so long. I suggested that we celebrate with ice cream. Chronos, my brother, said he would take just me to go out to celebrate his graduation, joking saying it would be more fun. He was so kind and caring. A truck sped through a light, the driver drunk, crashed into us on our way back. My brother was going to be a soccer player. Yet that accident caused him to become brain dead. A vegetable. I almost died too, my heart was failing and I needed a transplant. They gave me my brother's heart since he was a match and since he wasn't going to live. If I hadn't whined to get ice cream then we wouldn't have been hit by a drunk driver," Aphrodite explained, knowing the girl was probably wondering how her brother died.

"It was late when we we're driving back, and a lot we're out celebrating graduations. A drunk teenager was the one driving the truck because he was celebrating his brother's graduation. Of course my father blames me for my brother's death," she finished up as she placed three plates of mac n cheese on the table.

`````````````````````````````````

"Then you know just as much as me. I can't help you if you already know what I know," he shrugged frowning.

Lucina after class had stayed to do some work, and currently looked around for a few moments, hoping to find Zane. She was dressed in a simple white button up, long sleeved, jeans, winter boots, and a brown leather jacket. She had her goggles, and also wore the scarf Zane gave her. She didn't even know why she dressed so...normal for the day...she had intended for trying to get a gold star as a return gift, however after Jordan's text it was pointless.

`````````````

Danny was at home, doing homework.

((As I'm typing there is a kid named Danny missing on the show I'm watching))

"Mysterious?" Jeremy laughed, "I guess I'm relatively normal" he added. "What about you, what are your hobbies?"

Jordan sighed to himself, feeling like he had wasted Robin's time in asking him. "I know, I'm sorry, I guess part of me just felt like you could have some answers," he said before looking away and turning around. "I just wish I could figure this out and help her, I know there's something she keeps hiding."

"Well, I don't really have any specific hobbies," Anna pointed out, deciding to omit the fact she liked video games. "Well I love movies and singing is pretty cool too, dancing's fun as well for me."

Sophie was clearly struck by the story. For a moment she considered the deeper meaning of Aphrodite's older brother's name. Chronos, the god of time. She pondered this for a moment before looking at Aphrodite. "I honestly don't know what to say." She eventually said. "That's so horrible and yet... you've really done something amazing here with your little siblings." Sophie admitted. She had never had to deal with a challenge close to what Aphrodite had been forced to cope with. What she had seen, how loving and caring she was with her younger siblings. Sophie still didn't like what Aphrodite had written but she at least understood why she had done it.

"Jordan. You can't do anything until she's ready. All we can do is support her from here and try our best to make her smile," Robin said to him.

``````````````````

"Well someone has to watch the children. My mother is busy. My father did try to take Hermes and Persephone but my mother fought tooth and nail to keep them, and would have fought for me too. This is the least I could do for her," she explained as she sat down at the table with her own plate.

"I may not like what you wrote about me and Nate." Sophie said softly. "But at least I understand the reasoning behind it." She admitted with a gentle smile.

"Ohh someone is popular," Emma laughed as Derek approached herself and Madison.

"Yes, Yes I am and who are you?" Madison stared at him expressionless at Derek. "And what do you want?" She was street smart enough to know that it would lead to a question.

"I hope you see that it concerns me. Nate's behavior...I just feel like if anyone can truly make sure he behaves it's family. Then again he doesn't have to worry about securing his future really since money will do that for him. It's the same for you in that case, regardless drinking at his age, considering he can drive, and running off like he did. It's not good for anyone. The former can uproot someone's whole life as you see it's done to my family," she said looking at Sophie with concern.

Derek wasn't intimidated at all by Madison or Emma and instead just shrugged as he looked at her. "Well I've heard a few things about you and I took an interest," he replied simply before looking up as if he had realized something. "Oh right, my name is Derek and see I'm going to be founding a new club, it's kind of like the Assist Club minus all the crazy crap they have there, I just don't think they have a very safe working environment," he replied calmly. "While I was asking around in regards to the club's reputation I heard some people from the sports branch mention that you tried to join but felt like you wouldn't fit in, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to give my club a try...your choice though."

"I guess you have a point," Jordan nodded his head, realizing that there were still some things that he needed to learn. "Sorry for bothering you, I know I've caused some problems for you."
