"... Uh... There are lots of books to read," Fin offered.

--

Nic nodded his head.

Frei looked at the screen.

--

Laurel frowned, "Why?" she asked, wondering what about the boy's DNA could have interested Nic so much.

Fin let Frei look, hoping she'd find something she was interested in.

--

"... There's a 97% chance we share the same father," Nic explained.

Frei looked for awhile before pointing to a book on motorcycles. She flicked her finger and the book filled the large screen. "Read this one," she told Fin, turning to him.

--

Laurel chuckled, "Sure," she replied sarcastically as she shook her head.

Fin glanced at it before looking back at Frei. "... Out loud?" he asked.

--

Nic thought about showing Laurel the results, but figured it might go a little over her head. So he waited for it to sink in.

Frei blinked, tilting her head slightly in confusion before beginning to recite something. The more she spoke the more it sounded like... a book on motorcycles.

--

Laurel was still smiling as she noticed Nic looked serious. She mouth dropped open slightly, "... wait..." she whispered, "... seriously?"

Fin blinked, glancing between Frei and the book she had brought up.

--

Nic nodded, expression still the same.

Eventually Frei stopped talking, it seemed like she'd finished a chapter from memory. Then she stared at Fin.

--

Laurel looked overwhelmed, "You... have another brother?" she whispered.

At this point, Fin was just starting at Frei in awe. After a few moments, he seemed to come out of it a little. "... How do you do that?" he asked.

--

"... Half," Nic corrected.

Frei blinked, a little confused at the question.

--

Laurel rubbed her temple a little, "So... your dad had... another wife?" she asked, still trying to process it all.

So Fin just shook his head. "... You're amazing," he told her.

--

Nic shrugged.

That seemed to make Frei a little more confused. She flicked her finger a few times until an image of a specific style of motorcycle appeared on the screen. She pointed at it and looked at Fin, "Cat's."

--

Laurel shook her head a little in disbelief, "... Why is he suddenly here?" she asked quietly.

"He has a motorcycle?" Fin asked after a moment as he looked at the screen.

--

"Bad luck," Nic explained. "He compromised Kale's mission."

Frei nodded.

--

Laurel swallowed a little before looking up at Nic, "How do you feel about this?" she asked.

The motorcycle didn't seem to keep Fin's interest for long. "... Do you memorize books?" he asked her suddenly.

--

Even for Laurel, Nic was being particularly hard to read. But he shrugged. In the end, it didn't seem to matter too much to him.

"... Memorize?" Frei asked.

--

Laurel nodded, "Isn't it... a good thing?" she asked, watching him closely.
