Joker jogged up the front steps and without missing a beat had the door open, he stopped in mid stride the small asian from the street across from Mia with a knife in his hand. Instinctivly he grabbed the knife from his belt and in a second had it out and his backpack dropped to the floor. "Mia...?" Joker asked ready to move in a split second.

Han looked at Mia wide eyed for a moment, "What is up with all the knifes pointed at me today? I mean just cause I'm asian doesn't mean I ain't family," Han dropped the knife on the counter top and shook his head looking at the large guy, "And here I thought Tokyo was bad with the guns and Yakuza. If he didn't want my head on a platter I wouldn't have come back."
He turned and grabbed his bag of candies, "Alright big guy here's it real simple like. I'm Han, I used to run with Dom, I came to check up on my family and I got rooked into helping make dinner. I swear I'm not here to kill anyone so can we put the knife away?" he asked as he calmly popped a candy in his mouth, at least this time around it wasn't a gun.

Joker smiled and flipped his knife around is hand before resheathing it. "Sorry about that, never can be sure lately. Apparently one of Dom's enemies is back from the dead...I'm a bit jumpy." He kicked the bag into the kitchen softly. "Got chicken and beef in there. Whichever you guys want to add in for dinner. I'm gunna jump in the shower." He grabbed his gear out of the bag and ran upstairs.

Mia chuckled softly allowing Han to say his piece, nodding her head at Joker she smiled, “Thanks” She stated as she watched him walk out of the room, heading up to the shower. Slowly turning her gaze over to Han she draw her lower lip between her teeth chuckling softly, amusement dancing in her dark eyes.
“Well that was Joker” She stated “Don’t let his name fool ya” She muttered, with a smile she looked at Han, god she had missed him being around, he made things all that more interesting. “Are you back for good?” She questioned slightly intrigued at how long she would have him around.

"That was the grand plan, so long as I'm still welcome here and I don't have a mob boss breathing down my neck. Well I would consider your brother a mob boss... but since I'm on his side," Han said with a half smile as he popped another candy in his mouth as he flipped the veggies over in one easy practiced move, "So other then a name, who is he? I mean come on Mia your going to have to catch me up."
Han glanced at her with a soft look, he was glad to be somewhere he could call home. But he was worried about how long he was going to be able to call this place home without getting into some trouble. He was good at hiding in plain sight but there was always going to be that one person who could tip the right people off.

Mia smiled happily at him as she bent to grab the bag with the meat, deciding for the chicken, and placing the beef in the fridge. Licking her lips she draw it between her bottom teeth before looking over at him.
“Joker is military, or ex” She shrugged her shoulders, there was still actually a lot about Joker she didn’t quite know, “Helped us out in a couple of sticky situations” She stated, her gaze shifted over at him, watching him with concern for a moment, there was very little he could hide from her. “Whats going on?” She questioned with a raised brow, “Who did you piss of Han?”

Han nodded, "Good to know we've got some new trained family then," he said popping another candy as he looked decently sheepish.
Her question was a loaded one, and he wasn't a good enough liar for her not to know he wasn't telling her the truth. Hell Dom was the same way, only the guy would probably ream him one for being a dumb ass.
"You like to ask me the hard ones don't you?" Han said taking a breath, "Yakuza..." he didn't even to need to see her facial expression as he continued, "Apparently he doesn't like people like me who can keep his family in the dark with little bits of money held out of the cut. Hell I'm just lucky I got out of the country relatively all in one piece."

Dark eyes turned to shock as she looked at Han, one brow rose as she rested her hand against the counter in front of him. A controlled sigh fell from her lips before her hand darted out and hit him squarely on the chest. “Your meant to be the smart one, the one I don’t have to worry about” She yelled softly.
Shaking her head she let out a dry laugh and sighed, resting both hands on the counter in front of her, dark eyes locked on the man at her side, “Iv already lost one member of my family, I don’t want to loose another” She stated quietly.

Han winced, both for the fact she had hit still tender wounds and her words, "Well I've got a hell of an angel looking over my shoulder. I shouldn't have made it out of Japan still alive. Though the Yakuza was kind enough to let his nephew give me a parting gift. And I'm not as smart as I look, I'm just good at smooth talking myself out of bad spots."
He debated for a moment before he decided to show her his parting gift. Taking his hands away from the stove he lifted his shirt, his torso now a mangle of healing burn scars, "They get worse as they go down. 4th degree on my lower legs, the doctors said is was a miracle that was all the damage I had. My car flipped and the NoS tank ignited, I managed to get almost all the way out before it went. Was in the hospital for 2 months in a coma, John Doe, because I didn't have my wallet on me. Trust me Mia, I'm not stupid enough to stick around when people think I'm dead. I just about ran home as soon as I was able to," he said glancing away from her.

A soft breath left her lips “Jeez Han” She muttered as dark eyes wondered over his torso eyes lowering before he lowered his shift, shaking her head she let out a sigh, Han was family, he was all she had left, the idea that she had come so close to loosing him, especially with the way things had been only three short months ago, that chilled her to her bone. She realized a second to late that her hands were shaking, clenching them into a fist she shook her head, quickly wrapping her arms around him.
“No more trouble okay” She whispered softly. Everyone was trying for a new start, a new beginning ad she was going to make sure he to had a fresh one, he was home now, and she wasn’t about to let him get hurt. “Hell of an angle though, think you can throw her our way” She questioned with a soft laugh, three months ago she could have really used it.

Han saw the shaking and pulled her into a tight hug despite the slight irritation it cause him, "I'm not planing on this kind of trouble anytime soon. And yeah you can borrow my angel any time you want, anything for family," he said softly against her forehead as he held her, "I'm sorry I upset you, you know I would never want to upset you like that."
He didn't know what had happened, but he was going to find out one way or another. He needed to know the damage to his family so he could help fix it. There was so much he had missed, a wedding, a child being born, hell even in his own life he was missing 2 months of time. There was so much time to be accounted for still he hardly knew where to start.

His head spun around at the sound of Doms low voice. "Man, can you tell me when you're sneaking around?" He asked a little jumpy but then paid attention to what Dom was saying. "Mia? I think she's better. She seems to be but sometimes I think she just doesn't want to worry me." Somewhere in there was the silent hope that her brother would talk to her and maybe get a little more information. "She's strong...but honestly Dom, do your really want to let her get involved in...you know what? If she gets caught Tyler doesn't have a mom." It was even hard to talk about it. Brian didn't even want to go there and if it wasn't for Dom he'd stay the hell away from that crazy plan.
He lowered his voice. "Faye checked out the city hall and made notes of their cameras and security system, seems pretty easy."

Wrapped in his arms she felt safe, it was as if her own brother was hugging her, him and Dom had always been able to calm her, reassure her. Letting out a shaky breath she smiled, before pulling away from him, fingers running through locks of long dark hair, “No, its not you” She muttered softly, “Things have been tough Han” “She admitted freely, she knew sooner or later he would find out, but she didn’t want to remember it, or recall it.
Licking her lips she let out a soft breath and turned her gaze to the food in front of them, “So I see you finally quit smoking” She stated with a smile, turning the conversation to something more safe.

Han nodded with a slight frown, he really didn't like the sound of that but he could tell she didn't want to talk about it, "When you wanna talk, I'm always here to listen. But yeah I stopped smoking, but I started munching instead," he said holding up the baggy.
He looked her over, she looked older then he remembered, every part of her seemed to be tired and it wasn't just the fact she had a kid now either. He didn't know what had happened but whatever it was probably hadn't helped in the least bit. Turning slightly as he kept one arm around her he flipped the veggies again.
"You finish with that meat?"

Mia couldn’t help but smile, unlike the rest of her family who tended to push when they knew something was wrong, Han actually took the hints and let the subject drop, he knew when to push and when, like now just to shut his mouth and let her come to him. With a soft breath she let it out and smiled, resting her head against his shoulder for a moment, “Thanks Han” She muttered softly a soft laugh falling from her lips at his words, “Munchies huh” She shook her had, that was almost as bad as him smoking in the first place
With a nod she looked over at him and dropped the meat into the pan, allowing him to take it from there. With a breath she let it out and looked out the window, seeing Brian, and a familiar figure, “Looks like everyone’s returning today” She nodded, gesturing to Dom.

Han smiled slightly and nodded, "Yeah gotta keep my hands and mouth busy, the cravings are pretty killer," he said popping another candy in his mouth, "It's a wonder I'm still as skinny as I am."
He followed her gaze out the window and smiled seeing Dom, "Well everyone's gotta eat right?"
It was the old phrase, from a time with Saturday BBQ's, with Leon, Vince, Letty and Jesse. He had heard what had happened to Jesse directly from Dom, it was a blow that hurt. The kid didn't deserve to go out like that, no one did.

Mia laughed softly, she could only imagine what the cravings were like after you had quit smoking, with a smile she nodded her head slowly, “Not like you sit on your ass and do nothing” She stated softly, her gaze watching her brother ever so slowly.
The old phrase made her smile, her head once again returning to lean against his shoulder, “Now your back in town we should get every one together, like old times” She muttered softly, only without Jesse, “You get to meet everyone to, Leon has a new women, you get to meet his sister, and Joker” It would never be the same, not like it had been back in the day, but you had to learn to deal with the changes, someting Mia didnt liike.

"Nope I'm always moving around you know gotta keep busy if I wanna keep eating. Not to mention pay the bills. And I met Joker, no offense but I'm probably going to be watching my P's and Q's around him, he seems a little on the trigger happy side," Han said curling his arm around her once more, "But it would be cool to meet all the new people in your life, not to mention getting to know your hubby. That way I can pop by anytime and not have a knife pointed at me cause I'm Asian."
He smiled down at her to show he was teasing and he worked on the stir fry, "Your kid's pretty cute ya know. Gonna have your hands full when he's older."

Dom looked Brian up and down before walking over and crouching next to him, "So you're going through with this? Mia isn't going with." He stated it as a fact, "I talked to Joker, we don't need her in this and she needs to be here for him." Dom softly reached out and placed a hand on the little man's head.

Joker made his way back down the steps in a new pair of shorts and a flannel button up shirt. His hair was tied back in pony tail and he was chewing on a peice of gum. "Sorry about that man. I just have a small issue with strangers... last time I ended up destroying the house, hense the new paint..." Joker smiled remembering lobbing 50 cal shells through the front of the house with a sniper rifle. "Yeah, sorry about that. No hard feelings?"
