Final vote for the next snip. Should be Sunday, which I know is a ways away, but will get me back on schedule. Plan Evil wins. You won't be telling Max about your crazy shadow. Puberty is you explanation to Kayden, with some smug thoughts about spurting and Jessica >.0 You won't be confirming or denying being a parahuman, though it is heavily implied. And you will be non-committal, but certain of your eventual leadership.

You decide that revealing your shadow has a mind of its own to your father probably wouldn't be worth it as you plop your gifts into the trunk.
He can find out on his own.
It seems to have settled back to normality anyways.
=====
You blink at the sudden hostility. Your confusion seems to give Kayden a reason to pause.
"No one told you?"
Her eyes narrow slightly. Mrs. Schmidt has left your line of sight, and Mr. Schmidt has stood and left for Aster's room. Presumably at least.
"Told me what?"
"Kayden, it's me. I can't look that different," you smile slightly and snort in disbelieving amusement. Why does Max have to be so petty about this? Just have Crusader shoot Kayden a text, for fuck's sake, "I finally had a growth spurt."
You also had a 'spurt' or two inside Jessica the previous night, but Kayden definitely doesn't need to know that.
She holds out her hand to tell you to wait a second and digs her phone out of her cleavage. You suppose her outfit had no pockets, but did she really need to carry it around like that in her own home? You put the box down, there's no reason to just continue to hold it. Kayden starts going through her text messages.
"Oh," she says, some tension leaving her body, "Max sent a text last night, I, uh, ignored it?"
Kayden has the decency to look embarrassed and your slight frustration switches from Max to Kayden as Mrs. Schmidt scurries off after her husband to retrieve him and the baby.
Kayden invites you in and your gifts are placed under the tree, and Aster is handed off to you to take care of. It isn't for long as the little one uncharacteristically begins wailing the instant she touches you.
"Powers," Mrs. Schmidt answers, giving you a decidedly heated once over, "Can have weird effects on small children. Especially if you have shaker or striker abilities. Aster doesn't like me holding her either. I can only assume its because she can feel the monster inside."
You didn't know the first bit, but you did know the second. But it could also be because 'Mrs. Schmidt' feels very forced, and small children pick up on that. Its a shame because everyone in the Empire knows how badly Mrs. Schmidt wants and loves (white) children, but is denied her own by her power.
"If it's alright with everyone, I'd like to not talk about it. It is what it is, and if Aster no longer likes me all that much, I shall endure."
You can't help it, you send a look of brotherly longing at Aster, who is once again held be Mr. Schmidt, and all of the tension is removed from Kayden. She must have expected something else to happen, or still didn't believe you were you. Or perhaps she believed there had been an even greater impact on you by your 'trigger event.'
There is a lot of little talk between yourself and the Schmidts while Kayden makes sure her Christmas lunch and dinner are on track. Eventually she comes out of the kitchen, a smudge of white sugar visible at the corner of her mouth.
Her hands settle on her hips. Kayden's face is set and determined. Its time for the most obvious question of the day.
"Theo, are you going to join the Empire?"
"It is a bit of a fixer-upper, but I think I can handle it," you counter with a smirk.
"You," your former (You can't remember if the divorce has gone through or they were still in the separation stage) step-mother sounds incredulous, "Are going to 'fix' the Empire?"
"I am a Prince, am I not? Is it not the place of the son to build and improve upon what is left by the father? Especially when that father is an emperor."
Kayden rolls her eyes.
"A prince. Sure. Listen, Theo, your father is crafty, his words are like poison honey -"
"And despite knowing that, you still fall for all of his tricks. I am a Prince, because it is so. What do Princes become, Kayden?"
Your words have left her standing, mouth agape, your admonishment has a slight build up of tears in her eyes. And it is not her who answers, but Mr. Schmidt.
"A king or emperor," he says clearly, "And it is good to see such a good attitude, Theo. Someone needs to brings the true glory of the Empire and its cause out."
He gives you a respectful nod, which you return with one that simply acknowledges his words.
"There's a bit of rot in the drywall," you say in a teasing tone, "And it could use a new coat of paint. Do you think I can get what I need at Aubuchon's?"
That gets the Schmidts chuckling, but Kayden still looks a bit upset, though no tears have fallen. You tap into cold-bone power, and the answer flows into you.
She had hoped that you would have joined her when you triggered and, in doing so, shown Max that she was right and he was wrong.
"It is Aster's first 'not in the hospital' christmas, so let's cheer up and be smiles for her?"
"I'll get the cookies!" Mrs. Schmidt singsongs. Which is awesome. Her cookies are so good that you'd be willing that Kayden would cave if Mrs. Schmidt withheld them over the issue of 'the cause.'
Kayden nods, takes a deep breath, wipes her eyes, and smiles wide. She takes Aster from Mr. Schmidt and the two of them settle on the floor. And you start doling out gifts as the youngest present, capable of doing so.

I tried to keep TDP laughing at his 'how to deal with the Empire' answer, but I didn't expect Kayden to accept that. Thinking, like many older people, that she knew better. *shrug*
Next snip will be some warm and fuzzy, and whatever you decide about dealing with Kayden. I think I'm going to skip the 24th up to the date with Lisa, and just back fill with some telling instead of showing. We don't need to go over every conversation TDP has, right?

I'm sorry, I can't take Theo seriously at all. He sounds like the most chuunibyou motherfucker I've ever heard.
I legit laughed so hard reading that.

Stop, imagine what you would do if Theo came up talking to you about he was a Prince and he was going to inherit an empire and be a Kingly Emperor.
You'd think he was either trying to be funny or suffering from severe chuunibyou, yeah?
(Also, conversations are fucking hard. I will never look down on someone for trying! If you feel bad about it, feel better knowing you're still one of the few people who actually try.)

I was going for metaphor and stuff. Max goes by Kaiser, which is German for 'Emperor' and the German Empire frequently had a bunch of Prinz (not sure what the plural is off the top of my head) running around and competing to be next in line, the organization is also an 'empire' so metaphor ahoy...

Eh...
I would imagine that, in-universe at least, people have become very used to not laughing when a cape comes up and says something ridiculous. Because they have a tendency to the dramatic, and you never know which one of them has the ability and inclination to melt your face off.
tl;dr ridiculously dramatic lines become appropriate when you live in a ridiculously dramatic world.

There is a high chance that Kayden's apartment is being bugged by "Kaiser" or anyone else in the Empire.

Yeah, the Prince stuff was really lame. It's Okay in our inner monologue, so we project the princely demeanor, but saying it out loud is stupid. How about:
[X] Rewrite: "Yes, I'll fix up the Empire. My cape name is "The Dark Prince." Look at me, my new appearance: I am the Prince of the Empire and in the eyes of the members it is time that I start taking part, taking my first leadership roles, learn responsibility. I will become the posterboy, the rising star. And that is when the second phase of my plan starts. Kaiser will slowly and surely become 'The Prince's father' in the eyes of the members. You know that father cannot hold the loyalty of his people for long. In the end everyone hates him and his constant demonstrations of dominance. Father is unable to make a single friend... nobody is going to resist when he 'retires'."

Yeah, one VERY IMPORTANT thing to remember about Kayden and the Schmidts is that none of them are loyal to us (yet), and even if they were loyal to us, none of them are good at keeping secrets.
Dad Vader has significant influence over all of them.
We MUST NOT let it slip that we plan to take over.
Saying vague things will be much safer. Vague things which we don't mind Max hearing verbatim.

Everything is your fault, you fluffy guilt-ball.
Now stop snarking and get in the hot pot.

[x] Plan Bii
-[x] "But all this will wait until my father passes the mantle to me. I'm not so foolish or disrespectful as to seize the empire from him."
Of course, that's a load of shit, but it lets us tell everyone what they want to hear. Kayden will know that you intend to fix problems, but you also express your desire not to challenge Max's authority, only inherit it naturally. This is hardly true, but we're very convincing. Nobody walks away 100% happy most likely, but nobody gets pissed enough to feed us our own daiklave. Besides, our talk with Max shows he knows there are problems with the empire, so your desire to make things better shouldn't bother him too much, as long as he thinks you won't pose a problem because of it.

"No one ever is." Says Kayden with an unreadable look on her face.
