Cass smiled.

Maria's eyes widened.

Ad flicked through her playlist on her iPod and hit play, shoving the earbuds into her ears and turning it up halfway. The next thing she knew, her foot caught on something laying across the stair and she landed hard and the bottom of the staircase.

Mikey jumped slightly. Blink! He looked at the pile of Ad on the floor. "Didn't know you could fly, Ad" he shouted down the stairs. Not the time.

Justin watched as Ad fell downstairs. Blink! He jumped over Maria and Mikey and went to Ad's aid ignoring what Mikey had just said. Are you okay?" he asked helping her up.

Maria glared at Mikey. Now was not the time.

Ad made a face. "Not...really..." she said through gritted teeth. She hadn't re-broken anything but it hurt.

Mikey shut his mouth and pretended to zip it shut. Probably be better if he actually had a zip big enough.

Justin narrowed his eyes at Mikey then turned his attention to Ad again. "Where does it hurt?" he asked.

Maria sighed and looked down at Justin and Ad.

Ad sniffled as tears started welling in her eyes. "Leg" she managed to get out.

Justin helped Ad get so she could lean against the wall. He took out his wand and muttered the first healing charm that came to his mind. "That any better?"

Ad sniffled. "Just a little" she said softly.

Justin smiled slightly and sat beside Ad. Maybe he should use a stronger charm.

Ad shifted a little, wincing. Damn, it hurt.

Justin put his wand away and smiled slightly. "I don't know what else I can do" he replied.

Ad winced visibly. She was grounding her teeth together so hard thta she couldn't answer.

Okay, she might have re-broken something. NOT GOOD.

It was only then that she realized one side of her face was warm. She brought her fingers to her temple and felt something sticky. Blood. "Only I can get a head wound by hitting nothing" she said, trying to get her hair away from the wound. Not working so well. Didn't help that she was starting to feel more positive about re-breaking her leg. And she could tell from the pain it was probably one of the really severe breaks.

Justin looked at Ad and moved her hair from the wound gently. "It doesn't take a lot to cause a head injury" he told her. Then he accioed the first aid kit and sorted the injury out.

Ad winced a little. "I'm pretty sure my head didn't touch the floor" she countered. But it hurt. A lot.

Justin put the first aid kit away and sat opposite Ad. "You fell down the stairs, thats all it takes" he replied.

Ad nodded. "Yeah" she said softly, looking down as what Cass had told her ran through her mind. Just dust and debris? Did that even make sense? Not really. She tipped her head back, deep in thought. It just didn't seem right.

Justin looked at Ad. Then he looked at Mikey and Bradin. He needed to tell Ad what he knew but how?

Maria looked at Justin and mouthed "Tell her!" when Ad wasn't looking.

Justin sighed and looked down at Ad again. "I need to tell you something, Ad" he told her.

Ad looked up at Justin, a look of mild confusion crossing her features. "What is it?" she asked.

Justin eyes followed Bradin as he appeared beside the two of them. Then he looked back at Ad. "Bray caught the name's of your biological parents on his dads computer" he explained.

Ad blinked a few times and looked over at Bradin. She looked back at Justin. She took a deep shaky breath. "And...? What are their names?" she asked cautiously.

Justin took a deep breath. He had no idea why he was so nervous but he was. "Lauren and Ryan Carpenter" he replied.

Ad nodded and just leaned into Justin. "Oh" she said smally. She blinked rapidly, trying to banish the onslaught of tears about to start pouring down her face.

Mikey looked down at Ad and Justin and sighed. "Are you okay?" he asked.

Ad took a shaky breath. "I don't know yet" she said softly.
