Also in my defense, I went after Mia, I just stumbled onto something else. Something that dovetailed into her thing. Mia did talk to dad, right? I'm not holding a grenade to my ear?
Right, this whole once in a generation turned every girl activated once just one dies. ( She sucks in a breath. ) I did some light digging. It's the real deal. Untraceable, but there's been chatter about it going back over twenty years. Why do you think, Mia?
[Laurel's no stranger to having one in a million luck, given the givens. Sometimes things just happen to people and they have to figure out how to deal with them.]
She's not going to use her powers for evil. She's hard to please, but she's not malicious. ( Not unless you royally piss her off. ) Anyway, I might have stumbled into my own - situation.
And why you called, and dad didn't. I went looking for her first. Her trail went cold in Paris, and then, I was -- I'm fine, but I was attacked and someone saved me.
[What? She's married but she's not dead. Also, a lighter question will hopefully make it feel less like a parent grilling their child and more of a conversation of what they're up to.]
Yeah, but, straight. And, I wasn't what he was after. My skills, on the other hand... I made him a deal, to help him and who he was working for if he'd help me find Mia. And, without trying to, he did.
Well, for one, the supernatural world is a lot bigger than we thought. Slayers, vampires, demons... witches. Name it, it probably exists. Isaac's a werewolf and he works for a network of other supernaturals.
Look, your father is going to disagree with me, mostly because he wants you both home so he can see with his own two eyes that you're safe.
But you guys are all grown up and doing your own hero thing now. If that's where you think you need to be, then that's where you should stay. Just don't be afraid to reach out if you think you might need help.
[Isaac returns from the visit with Bonnie and knocks on William's door on the way back to his room. He doesn't intend to stay long but there's one last order of business before they move on.]

He's busy being anxious about how much his children turned out like him.

( He still needs to check. )

[Which hopefully provides further proof.]

Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't.
no subject
( So, lucky? )

[Those powers could be the best thing that ever happened to her, or they could also be the worst. That's up for Mia to decide.]
It's her choice in the end - we can't make it for her.

[Oliver got the full rundown on Mia's situation, but Mia was appropriately clueless about William's.]

( She ended up being there after all. )
I did meet a cute someone.
no subject
[Then, she pauses as she realizes she needs to be a responsible parent.]
Wait. Give me more details about this deal you made first. Then we'll talk about the cute someone.
no subject
( Not as large a one as he thought. )
no subject
[Well it makes sense that they would be working together.]
So are you now a werewolf IT specialist?
no subject
( But, kind of also, yes, he is. Sort of his handler when he's in the field. But, he also takes his orders from her. )
But, he did recruit me after ... saving my life. There was going to be quid pro quo, help them, they'd help me find Mia.
no subject
[Because she can hazard a guess at where this might be going.]
Now that you've found Mia, you're not sure you want to walk away?
no subject
( He does worry. )

( So. Get that. )

[She shifts to lean back more on the couch.]
This isn't us trying to be overbearing. This is you having a safety net if you need it.
no subject
( Because, he's not afraid of his dad. Not really. But, he also... doesn't want to disappoint him. This won't be falling off the face of the Earth. )
no subject
[Oliver will be unhappy, but he'll understand.]
no subject
( And with that, he'll end the call and sit with it. )
