C and H!! (Madness Combat)

Ep 3 - good start

Another day in Nevada..

Charlotte slowly wakes up. The red sky shines behind the curtains. The sounds of the sheets shuffling fill the room as she slowly sits up.

She gets up and slowly opens the door..

"Boo."

"!?? D':<" she immediately flinched. "Don't do that!! :'("

Hank stood at the doorway. He chuckled and ruffled her hair. "No promises."

"Come on. Breakfast is ready." And then he simply walked away.

"Oop- oki!! :'3" she quickly follows after him, scurrying over..

As she came into the dining room, she sees Hank sitting down. A plate of food is right Infront of him. She slowly approached him.

. . .

She reached up at him. "Up? :)"

"?" He looked over for a moment. ".. up.?"

":D?" She makes a little grabby motion with her hands.

. . .

He picks her up, setting her on his lap.

After taking a few minutes of eating, they finish and Hank guides her to the training room after she's done as well.

As they enter, they see Deimos and Sanford, sparring. Quite roughly, actually.

Charlotte watched silently in amazement, watching their fluid movements as they dodged and attacked.
G
Until it finally ended, it seemed that Sanford had won.

"GaahhhH-! Damn it! You were lucky this round!!"

"Oh shut it, your just a sore loser." Sanford taunted as Deimos slowly got up while rubbing his head.

"Are you done yet?" Hank slowly spoke as he stared at the 2.

"Ughh.. yeah yeah, you want somethin big guy-?" Deimos stretched his back as he huffed.

Hank pats Charlottes shoulder and gestures to her. She just stared up at both of them, her eyes glimmering and sparkling in curiosity and amazement.

Deimos grinned. "Awww.. princess wants to learn how to fight! That's adorable!" He starts to chuckle as he just snatches her in his arms and raises her up

":x !?" She squeaked in shock, pausing to process what happened she starts to hit his arms angrily. "Aaaa!! >:[ aaaaAAA!! >:("

Deimos just kept laughing his ass off before Sanford gave him a hard slap on the back. "GAH- okay! God damn!"

She lets out a little giggle of amusement before exclaiming. "Ok ok! Come on, Les go!!"

"Heheh- can't wait? I'll set up the practice dummies for ya!"

The three start to train her. Hank teaches her hand to hand combat, Deimos teaches her how to use guns and Sanford teaches her how to use melee.

There were. ... A good amount of accidents.

But the most important thing was she was learning. And she was learning quite well for a kid.

By the end of the day, Charlotte was absolutely exhausted. Sure, she expected it to be hard but damn, not exhausting.

After it was all over, she just. Walked over to the couch and flopped.

Hank looked over and just had to suppress a chuckle. He walked over and shook her a bit. "Hey. It's not sleepy time yet. Up you go."

"Mmmmmmmmrrggghhhh..." She lets out a soft and subtle murmur before she sits up. And lets out a small squeal of exhaustion. "Eeaaaaaa..."

"Up.. up.. up.." he began to shake her gently but vigorously, forcing her to regain a bit of focus.

"Eeehhhh..." She slowly sits up. "Ok ok stowp.."

Hank crouches to her height as she's sat on the couch. "You wanna play hide and seek? Hmm?"

She rubs her eyes before smiling. "Heheheh- sure I guess. I hide, you seek. :)"

And they played all day long until it was time for sleep..

Before Hank tucked her in, he quietly pulled out a gun. "Hey. Just in case." He slowly slides it near her table. "There's only five bullets in it ok. Put it to use." He slowly nods and gently ruffles her hair.

She squeaked as she stared at the gun, before looking up at him and nodding. "Okayy.. :)"

"Good." He stands up and walks towards the door. "Goodnight.." he turns off the lights to her room.

She lays back on the bed, snuggling up in the blanket as she slowly closes her eyes and falls..

Asleep.
