At Home Early

"But-"

"Shhh," Walt said as he carried Senko to the hotsprings. "You're to take the morning off, my dear. We can manage without you in the kitchen for one morning. I'm here to help. If you want to help later on and you're feeling up to it you may but please relax for the morning? You agreed to let me pamper you so please... for me my love?"

She sighed and pouted but her tail was wagging. "Fine... I suppose one morning off won't kill anyone. The others are extremely capable in their own right." She sighed as they reached the hotsprings. "You know I could have levitated or even walked here."

Walt smiled and set her down gently in the washing area. He carefully undressed her and then himself taking their clothes out to the usual changing area. "I know. But you're hurting and I wanted to carry you in my arms. I like it. You're so light and you just feel nice there. Is that so wrong?"

Again her tail was wagging happily. "Not so wrong. I liked it too... just don't think I'll let you get away with everything though, mister! I want to take care of you! You're taking advantage of the situation."

Walt smiled and kissing her head started to bath her. "I know my dear... but just being in your presence energized me. I feel wonderful! Besides between the otherworld and now today that's two "days off". Everyone's been great. But I have gotten a bit of rest and I have things to do. Starting with..."

Senko sighed. "I know... don't tell the others? It's... embaressing..."

Walt kissed the top of her head. "I wouldn't. Trust me. You'll love this. Someday you can return the favor. Deal?"

Senko's tail wagged happily at that thought. "Deal!"

Walt nodded. "I'll be right back with the massage table. Trust me. After that and relaxing soak and a nap your back will feel marvelous!"

She watched him leave sighing. "The old lady messed up her back having too much of a good thing... so embaressing...I could just conjure up a fix but he insisted." She blushed happily. There were worse problems to have then a devoted younger husband!

Walt stood in the kitchen thinking and preparing when she came in. He knew it was her before she put her arms around his waist from behind. "Hello and good morning Penny, my love."

"Salutations and good morning Master, my love," she said hugging him resting her head against his broad back. "Are you trying to execute your plan?"

He nodded. "I think so yes. Manami and I were talking about it. I've guven Senko the morning "off" and it seemed like a good opportunity for some of the others as well." He turned in her arms to embrace and kiss her. "Did you wake up early to assist me?"

Penny beamed nodding. "I did! I also just wanted to spend time with you."

Walt smiled. "Sorry I didn't come to bed last night-"

"Please," penny saud shaking her head. "Do not be sorry. Will you tell me how it went?"

Walt nodded. "Alright. I shall give you a basic filling in on developments while I think about breakfast. Coffee?"

Penny smiled. "Yes, please. Thank you!"

"It's my pleasure," he kissed her again and then poured them some coffee. They sat at the kitchen table holding hands. "Everything went well with Senko. She was very happy I think. She'll be joining us all from now on and so will Jubilee and Gwen shortly."

Penny was pleased. She had been hoping Senko would have her chance soon. She pulled out her phone. "That is wonderful news! Congratulations! Make sure you let us know when so we can throw a party! And Neo and I noticed your and Tsu's absence last night?"

Walt chuckled. He still remembered Sasha's "chat". This many ladies were bound to gossip about the only man's comings and goings. "Yes. Well that part is private for her but no. Please be discreet. But she has expressed an interest in "dating" as has Sasha surprisingly, though she said she doesn't wish to be a priority. She helped me "see" our situation a bit clearer though... I'm honestly a bit worried about some of it..."

Penny smiles until that last bit. She tilts her head and blinks. "What problems are there?"

Walt chuckled and explained the gist of their discussion. "... so basically with the exception of Blake, Curie, Ada, KL-E-O and PAM I didn't realize the others were even interested or on that list. Mission I should have guessed, honestly. But I had no idea about the others."

Penny tilted her head. "Truly?"

He sighed. "Or maybe I just didn't want to know. Looking back there were some signs... but some of them still surprised me on how high up the list they were in her estimate. Yang and Nora were both quite high up in her estimation despite only recently arriving. Merida too! Sayoko and Roberta were a surprise that way also. And Glynda? I didn't see that coming... and others on that list are still frenemies or just hostile still like Mystique. I had no idea she was interested or even why she would be?"

Penny blinked and then squeezed his hand. "Why would she not? Infact I think it should not be at all surprising! You didn't do the things you did to hurt Mystique. Quite obviously the opposite despite how upset you were. Also you have been nothing but your usual wonderful self with all the others including her. I think that is more than enough reasons for them to take a liking to and interest in you. You are a wonderful person and man. A kind and considerate owner and Master... and very handsome man and an expertly proficient lover as well! Who would not want to take an interest in you?"

Walt blushed. "Those are just your opinions though sweet to hear... and even if they were true it is also true that they're stuck here with me. Yall aren't getting much in contact with other potential suitors... or at least not males anyway... or anyone really. Practically starved for attention."

Penny shook her head again. "That's not necessarily true either. You have us go out with you and we're down to the main base frequently. We have 3S and other visitors sometimes, go out shopping or to Rein Corp or RealDreams or dates or weddings. We meet a lot of different people. You actually try to expose us to many different things as well as protect us. It is all about your point of view. Things look differently, if you look at them differently."

Walt blinked. Penny wasn't wrong. She might not be right but she wasn't wrong. Infact despite being isolated out here they were still being exposed to many different things and people on the regular. Probably as much or more than most households characters! It was the same in Marvel. "So your position is it's more because I'm the common variable in the equation?"

Penny shook her head beaming. "Not accurate. To be accurate you are a most uncommon, common variable! That is a part of your charm!"

Walt chuckled and leaned in to kiss her. "You my sweetheart are the greatest and most wonderful uncommon, common variable of any equation!"

"Do you really think so?" She asked her eyes wide.

Walt grinned. "I know so." He put her hand over his heart.

Penny smiled. "I understand. That is how I feel about you as well!" She pulled his hand to her breast. "In here." Her smile widened. "I detect that you liked that, Walt."

Walt nodded. "I do- did! Uhh... Penny..."

She nodded blushing and smiling. "Yes, Master Walter. I too am feeling a..." she paused looking for the right word."... "amorous" response and inclination. Do we have time for a so called "quickie" before cooking breakfast?"

Walt nodded smiling. "I think we might even have time for a not so quick "quickie" if you'd like?"

Penny nodded enthusiasticly. "I would like that very much but I do not think we have that much time."

Walt looked at the clock. It was still extremely early. "Oh? I don't why you would think-"

He heard the kitchen door open and several pairs of feet start walking in. "I called for reinforcements," Penny said proudly. "Inexchage for sex they'll help us make breakfast and give the kitchen staff a morning off, under Kali and Lita's supervision of course! They're next after myself, Neo and Pyrrha then we decided Ahnassi and Sienna and..."

Walt pursed his lips as Penny went on seeing the ladies coming to "help" in the kitchen. "I see... Penny, I think your assessment was correct after all. "Quick" it is! But ladies, uhh... let's be careful not to violate any health codes or anything too dangerous, alright? Ladies? Uhmmm... oh boy howdy..."
