Jessica: "Nathan... Trish is dead."

Nathan: "And why should I care?"

Jessica looked pissed at that: "She was your girlfriend for years."

Nathan: " 'Was' is the keyword there, Jessica, now if you'll excuse me, I need to find my-" he tried to leave, but she holds his shoulder

Jessica: "You are not going anywhere until you tell me EXACTLY what happened between the two of you."

Nathan glared at her for a moment before shrugging his shoulder out of her grip "Are you threatening me, Jessica?"

Jessica looked at his eyes: "If it will get you to tell the truth then yes."

Nathan was tempted to use his Sharingan on her but decided to take a different approach, a final f*ck you to Trish, making her little sister waste her pathetic life "Very well, what is it you wish to know?"

Jessica: "For starters, why did you break up?"

Nathan: "Surely you didn't have to fly over an ocean just to learn that? I mean your mother practically begged me to forgive your sister- oh right you don't talk with her since running away from home at 18 for that loser, how is Jon, by the way, last I heard he dumped you and was dating that stripper," he said getting a glare from her. "*sigh* Fine. Long story short she cheated on me with this guy named James- no wait his name was Jamie, I think. It has been a while and I try to forget about it."

Jessica: "And then what happened, after you two broke up?"

Nathan: "How should I know?"

Jessica: "The people I talk to swear you guys had a big fight. A few days later both she and Jamie became addicts, and despite my best efforts Trish continued to do drugs until she eventually OD'd! It was something to do with you, I know it."

Nathan: "Look, Jessica, I'm sorry for your loss, I truly am but it had nothing to do with me. Trish and I broke up half a year ago, and if she did go down a dark path after we were separate, there is nothing I can do-"

Jessica slaps him, getting people to look at them: "SHUT UP! I KNOW IT WAS YOU WHO SEND HER DOWN THAT PATH." she then glares at him "TELL ME THE TRUTH OR ELSE I'LL-" she was about to finish her threat when two security guards showed up, one a fat black man, the other an old white man.

"Dr. Winters is this lady bothering you?" the fat one said as he reached for the pepper spray

Nathan: "It's fine Sam, she just lost her cool for a second." Sam nods, takes a few steps back alongside the old man, they were still in the hearing range though "Look Jessica, I know you are angry at the world for your sister's death, that you are grieving, I see that in some of the relatives of dying patients. They first blame God, and then they blame the world, and then they blame someone or something specific... Until they come to blame themselves."

Jessica *growlers*: "That's not what's going on and you know it!" she said in a low tone, but she was just as harsh "You are somehow connected to her death and I'm gonna prove it."

Nathan smiles gently "You are more than welcome to try. I'm an open book," she looks more pissed off than ever and stormed off.

Fat Security Guard (Sam): "Dr. Winters, are you going to be alright. She seemed to threaten you. Do you need us to call the authorities?"

Nathan: "No need Sam, she is the sister of someone I used to know and she is grieving. She will [not] eventually get over it"

Fat Security Guard (Sam): "If you say so," he said and left.

Nathan then walked to the cafe, where his father was sitting, he checked his tea and it was now cold. "So dad, you will not believe who I just saw today."

======

Nathan and his shadow clone were playing Mario Cart when suddenly the clone stopped the game.

SC: "Boss... you know with what happened with Jess... Are we the baddies?"

Nathan: "Letting Jess waste her life trying to prove a crime she possibly can't isn't really a bad guy move, if I was one of the baddies I would have used my Sharingan and make her forget about her sister."

SC: "Boss! That's not being a bad guy, that's being the devil."

Nathan: "Don't be an idiot. The Devil is a nice guy with some independence/daddy issues. What I suggested is a Red Skull or Lex Luthor type of move."

SC: "I don't know Boss, I think when it involves Trish you just turn into one of those comic book villains. Maybe you should take a step back and think about it."

Nathan: "Think about what?!" his voice had a tone of threat

SC: "Maybe, just maybe, that since you awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan after Trish's betrayal it could be messing with your mind. Making you act irrationally when it involves her?"

Nathan"... You may have a point there. But why do you, my clone, don't have this hang-up?"

SC: "Sage if I know it. It's not like we know everything about Chakra or how the shadow clone works above the basics. Use this hand seal, channel some chakra, imagine the effect, boom, a clone appears. I mean where does my mass come from? I do weight something, yet I'm pure chakra, an energy that has negligible mass. I mean sure, most Jutsu can be explained through BS comic book science, but how does Edo Tensei work? You literally sacrifice someone to bring a soul back from death. If that's not magic, what is?"

Nathan: "Fine... So what should I do? About Trish I mean. Not about Chakra breaking the laws of Physics."

SC: "Maybe let us, your unaffected clones, handle your Trish related problems."

Nathan: "... Alright."

SC: "Now that's out of the way, there is something you have to admit." Original raises an eyebrow "You suck at Mario Cart" he said as he restarted the game without letting Nathan prepare.
