Hank entered their base, Charlotte on his shoulder.
Two men were on the couch, they immediately turned to Hank.
. . .
. . .
"Did you just pick up a stray?" The one with the visor started giggling in amusement. "And where'd you get that little gal huh?-" he pointed at Charlotte with a sneer.
. . . ? ? The one with the bandanna simply stared in confusion before speaking. "Why did you bring a child here of all things?-.."
Charlotte stared at them before making a squeak of discomfort and burying her little face into the top of Hanks head.
Hank didn't really respond to the two. He just walked right pass them. Silently. Leaving the two to both stare in slight confusion.
......
Walking through a hallway, she quietly spoke. "What was that? Actually, who was that-?"
"My teammates." He responded back, looking around as he walked through with her.
"!" She looked up at him. "Teammates? ... I thought you would be working on your own?-"
.... He thought of how to respond before just shrugging. "3 heads are better than one."
She sighed. "So where are we going-?"
"I have to send something." Hank didn't like talking. That was a bit obvious.. he seemed to get a bit annoyed with the questions.
"... : )." And with that she just got the hint and looked away.

I slowly opened the door to 2Bdamned's office. .. oh right. I forgot she was here. I just slowly guide her behind me.
2Bdamned looked up, but after a few seconds he immediately looked back down to focus on his work. "So, the mission? You did empty the base clean, right?"
"Yeah. Of course." I just had to bother adjusting my goggles. "I'm going off with Sanford and Deimos." I was just about to walk off but he just called me right back. ... I think he noticed her. Of course..
"Wait, Hank." He called out. " .... Tell me who's that I saw?"
. . . Does he really think I would want to tell him? "You saw who?"
. . . . "Hank don't lie I can clearly see a small set of arms beside you."
Why does he HAVE to mention that. I felt a small little hand grip my clothes a bit. I looked down to see Charlotte looking at me with... .... confusion? She quietly motioned to who that was.
...I turned back to 2Bdamned. "Charlotte."
. . . He stared down at the small figure beside Hank before muttering. "....is that. A child?-" he said, more curiously rather than confused.
. . . There was an awkward pause before I just gave up and sighed. "...yeah?"
. . . . . "You know I'm speaking to you later about this right?"
Of course.. of course he'd say that. "Probably. Don't bother me now." he walked away.

She looked up at Hank before muttering. "What was that?? :'("
He simply responded, "just. Just call him 2B."
"???. :'(" she sighed as she just continued to follow with him.
They both soon came back to the living room of the base. She sees both men still there. She suddenly heard Hank speak. "I'll be away for a bit. You two take care of her." And he immediately just walked away.
. . . She felt like a kid at the front of the cashier without their mom. She just frowned as he walked away.
Her little body flinched at a sudden voice Infront of her. "Aww! What a little princess he found! What's your name buddy?" The one with the visor spoke with a grin on his face.
My god she had to process what happened. She had to pause a bit to respond. "Ah- .. uh-... .. .. Charlotte..?? And-.. and y-"
"Awwww! Even more adorable!" He quickly ruffled her head. "I'm Deimos! It's fine! Don't be shyyy!"
"Dei, your scaring the kid." The one with the bandanna sighed before just slowly walking towards her. "Your Charlotte right? I'm Sanford, it's nice to meet you." He held out his hand for a handshake while waiting patiently.
. . . It took a bit of time but she slowly shakes his hand. "Yeah.. nice to meet you. ^^"
"Hey kid! Wanna go watch TV with us? Better than standing around and doing nothin.." Deimos scoffed.
"Ouh, um- sure?.. :D.." she just smiled nervously.
And with that, she just, hung out with the guys for most of the day. Sure, sometimes is kind of unbearable when they bicker but.. .. she at least had fun, right?

God it's way too damn late. I didn't think this Missionen would be that long.
I opened the door myself to find. . . . Huh. I guess they did take care of her.
I see Sanford, Deimos, and Charlotte, sleeping on the couch..
I turned my head to look at the time. ... 12. I slowly made sure to walk near without waking up anyone before I quickly snatched Charlotte up into my arms. ... And she fits like a puzzle piece. . . . Aw.
I slowly walked to the spare room before going inside and placing her on the bed. I slowly tucked her in and pat her head.
... Maybe I'll need to get clothes for the little lady. Maybe I'll actually have to help her train. . . Haha, that would be fun.
I slowly stood up, glancing back at her.
