Nathan was still here.

And yes, trust him, no one was made more uncomfortable or annoyed about that fact than Nathan himself. Tomorrow would mark a whole month. And that was... Well, it did not comfort him at all. He had moments, here and there, where he'd almost convinced himself he'd really gone crazy because a Fandom thing couldn't last this long. But mostly, he was trying to ignore it. Just –– work, work, work, then fall into bed too exhausted to dream, then get up and do it all over again.

At least the almost-month had given his staff members time to get used to him, but some of them continued to look uncomfortable and confused, occasionally even worried, when they spoke to him.

Like the skittish intern he was talking to right now. Sigh.

To say that it had been an extremely trying couple of weeks would have been an understatement, and it would also have ignored how said trying times were still in progress. And deities-of-your-choice knew that Nathan couldn't ignore that. He still woke up every day hoping this would be the day he'd be back where he belonged, and where his staff didn't side-eye him, Peter didn't avoid him, and Jim didn't pine for some girl version of him.

And today was still not that day.

He was doing his best to just roll with that. Whether he was any good at it was still up for debate. He definitely hadn't been when he'd left Sam's party on Sunday before it even got started. He'd come to regret that decision by now. He should've stayed and taken the scraps of familiarity he was offered. His apology text to Sam this morning didn't really say as much, but that was a given.

He'd get going and face the Hegemon's staff and the weirded out looks they ween't great at concealing a little later, he was sure. But right now... He was going to get up-to-date on some email correspondence while sitting on his living room floor and rolling a ball for Mr. Moxy to play with. Mox, at least, treated him exactly the same. And for a moment, alone with his cat and his work, he could pretend he was home.

Due to the general emotional fiasco of the last couple of days, Nathan had taken two days off from actually going out and working. Not because he was the wrong gender (he wasn't the wrong gender, thanks), but because he'd wanted to make sure there wouldn't be an awkward raincloud following him around the compound. That would've been a little too weird for around here. So, he'd just done his thing via email. And done some general re-arranging around his apartment.

But now Jim's thing were all in a box by the door, and despite his general hermiting, Nathan was starting to feel like he'd go stir-crazy if he stayed cooped up in his duplex for much longer. He had to go out and actually deal with people face to face. Comb his hair, put on his suit instead of a ratty hoodie and sweatpants, and get his gameface on. That was what he needed, and that was what he did.

And once he was done, he took a deep breath, and stepped outside.

This was going to go oh so well.

Apart from the random headache and nosebleed combo he'd woken up with, this was a pretty normal morning for Nathan. After dealing with his un-fun wakeup, he took a shower, he brushed his teeth, he shaved, and then he padded down into his kitchen to grab some breakfast before getting started on catching up on whatever emails had come in while he'd been asleep. He settled down in the living room with his desk and his breakfast. His boyfriend was coming over later and he wanted to be caught up on stuff enough before Jim showed up to spend the rest of the day on more personal things.

And at no point did he remember he was supposed to be a girl called Natalie. Good thing she'd already been in the habit of signing her emails as N.V. Adams.

[ooc: NFB, but open! And Natalie is now Nathan for the rest of this plot, and yes he's coming to Fandom at some point, so if you have specifics about how him being a dude would have changed your characters reaction to him that you want me to know to complete Nathan's bakstory, shoot me an email!]
