Brawls Well That Ends Well

"Come on," he said. "Let's make our escape and finish up while we can."

They grabbed some Six Swans Vodka, St. Miriam Scotch, Moon-Sugar and Double Moon-Sugar Rum, Balmora Blue wine and Tears of Amaya as well as Argonian Sweetbile.

They didn't run into trouble again until getting more Sake where a petulant Tsunade was being spanked by a Prime. They were drawing a predictable crowd and Walt sighed they were right infront of the blessed wine he needed.

"I can't believe no one's stopping this!" Yang started but Walt held up his hand. "She's not an employee. She and her master there are customers. Management will be asking them to leave momentarily and as her owner he has every right. Besides... take a closer look."

Yang did. Management had indeed arrived and was telling them to take it outside or request proper assitance for an "appropriate area". The owner was very apologetic but the Tsunade...

"Nooo," she whined. "We weren't done just yet! It was just getting really good!"

"I see..." Yang said. "That's uh, something she's into. Judging by the fellas face he did that at her urging?"

Walt nodded watching Management escort them either out or to a appropriate place. Most of the crowd was following them. "Yup," he said grabbing the bottles they wanted. "That's Prime."

Yang thought about that as they continued. Walt wasn't a bad owner she felt. Infact that could be him if some of Blake's fantasies came out. She thought about that. She thought about the stuff she'd seen on prime already. There was that bit at the wedding... Would Walt do... kinky stuff if Blake or the others asked him too?

Technically as their owner he was in charge... but he sure didn't act that way with them unless he had too. He did a lot of things at their requests. The majority of them infact. "Walt?"

"Hmm... yeah?" He said moving into the beer section. "Do me a favor and let me know if you see any Old Duesseldorf, okay? Preferably in the long necks. I like a good altbeer from time to time."

"Oh, sure," she said looking. "Hypothetically... if one of the girls had a... a kinky side... uhh... oh here they are I think!"

Walt grinned. "Yes! They're a little hard to come by sometimes if someone snatches a bunch." He grabbed a couple. "You're asking... how I'd respond if one of them had a kink or a fetish? Would I be repulsed or excited or go along?"

Yang nodded. She was blushing. He was too.

"I guess it partly depends on the kink or the fetish," he said. "There's none in particular I'm into... and truth be told some of the more 'extreme' stuff is definitely a turn off and there's some definitely extreme stuff out there... but uh... *ahem* some of the girls have some 'kinks'. I won't go into specifics, I try not to "kiss and tell". But we've been slowly verging into some progressivly "mild" kinky stuff... and honestly that's fine. It's more important to me how it makes them happy. If it pleases them... that pleases me. I have to be better. Be the owner, the Master, that some of them deserve. Because I love them and they deserve that." He paused. "Can I ask you... does that... make sense? Or is it crazy?"

Yang paused too. It was obvious the subject made him uncomfortable but he dudn't shy away from or avoid it either. He'd been honest and clearly had given the subject a fair bit of thought. "I think-"

"You should get Duff Beer!" Homer Simpson butted in. "Mmmmm... beer..." he started to drool.

"See that's where you're wrong," said Peter Griffin. "You're Duff is shallow and pedantic." Peter stated pretentiously not really understanding the meaning. "Clearly Pawtucket Patriot Ale is the patrioticly superior-"

"That's where you're wrong tons of fun!" Said Al Bundy. "He needs a mans beer! And there's nothing more manly then Girlie Girl Beer. What's better then hot chick's on a beer label?"

"Löbrau Beer!" Philip J Fry said. "For the descar- the deskern- the descriminin- *shrugs* its good and cheap. Your suggestions are stupid!"

Walt starts pulling Yang quickly away as the brawl predictably starts. Homer punches Fry only to have Peter sucker punch him. Peter laughs but gets tackled by Al who then howls in pain as Fry bites his leg.

They're joined by others as well. Andy Capp and Barney Gumble smash bottles and start facing off with each other. An Aqua starts shouting something annoying only to get pelted in the face by an expertly thrown can by Misato Katsuragi. Tyrian Lannister sweeps Krusty the Clown at the knees. Beth Smith busts a bottle over the back of Biff Tannen's head.

Finally an MCU Valkyrie and a few others start blasting them all with with a water hose spewing forth a green liquid breaking it up. "The Brawndo!" an Archer howls. "It burns my eyes!"

"You idiots done?" She asks as G. W. McClintock tips his hat and starts putting the hose back with the help of an Eddie Valiant. "Clean all this up and put the damaged stuff in the bargain area." Several customers cheer. The bargain area is a great way to score deals sometimes. People love the place not just for the variety and selection but the entertainment factor and good deals as well.

Walt is one of them. "Sweet. Those cases of Rainier are mine! Oh, Val?"

Valkyrie stops and blinks then slowly smiles. "Hello there cowboy! How are you!"

Walt grins. "Good, good. Hey I'll take them cases of Rainier's and I need a couple of kegs of Original Hetap™️ and uh... what's that new one called?"

Valkyrie tilts her head. "Which one? New Hetap™️? Hetap™️ Zero? Shetap™️?"

Walt snapped his fingers. "Shetap™️. That's the one Bulma wanted to try! Thor lost a bet so two of those and four of Hetap™️ and I'll match him so two kegs of Panther Pilsner..." he looked over and saw four smiling faces and nodded winking, "Yeah, ok... one each of Duff, Pawtucket Patriot, Girlie Girl and Löbrau, please?" Homer, Peter, Al and Fry high-five. Walt chuckled they probably got free drinks if a customer ordered certain brands.

"Oh ho! Party at 3S," Valkyrie grinned. "You got it. I'll go get the kegs out of the back and hmmm... Branwen!"

Yang winced. Sure enough a slightly tipsy looking Qrow Branwen appeared. "You called angelface-urf!"

Valkyrie had covered his mouth. "Save it. Never gonna happen. Help these customers and take those cases of Rainier upfront. Make sure you mark them with the proper discount sticker this time and don't drop them you jinx!"

She released her hold of his face and Qrow stumbled. "Yeah, yea-" he gulps as she glares at him. "I mean yes, assistant manager." Valkyrie heads for the back to get the kegs. "Geez," Qrow said. "What crawled up her- heeeyyy..." he blinked peering at Yang. "I think I know that hair..."

Walt cleared his throat and Qrow looked at him and waved a dismissive hand. "Yeah, yeah buddy. I'll get you yer beer. Hold yer horses." He grumbled.

"Well that was a thing," Yang said as they watched Qrow slip on a spill and fall on his ass. "About earlier?"

Walt paused and nodded. "Oh yeah. That."

Yang nodded. "Yeah. I think... I think that's really commendable actually. That you care enough to do that for them. Be that for them." She smiled. "I... I think I'd like to try taking that approach myself... you know... for..." she blushed.

Walt smiled and held her hand. "For Blake?" He watched her nod and he did too. "I don't know which things she's into. Just because someone fantasizes about something doesn't mean they particulary want that for themselves, you know. But yeah..."

He thought about some of the kinky master and servant stuff he'd done with Lifts-Her-Tail. Neo and Ilulu's alternately sweet and naughty behavior. Some of the ladies getting fired up with their talk of "breeding". He nodded. "Indulging in anothers fantasy can be good too. As long as it pleases them... makes them happy? That's uhh... well it..."

Yang looked at him turning alarmingly red. "Oh!" She said blushing. "That's uhh... kinda your "thing", is it?"

Walt nodded. "Yep."

Yang smiled. "So that's how it is... that makes sense."

Walt nodded. "Yep."

Yang thinks about giving him a hard time a bit but squeezed his hand instead. "If... pleasing them... if that's what does it for you I think that's good way to be too. Don't think there's anything wrong with that at all. You just like pleasing those you care about. That's... also a bit commendable I suppose."

"Ugh," said Qrow pushing a dolly cart with the cases of Walt's preferred brand. "You done flirting with some brainwashed bimbo version of my niece, mister? Makes me sick."

Walt blushed. "Sor-"

"It's not like that!" Yang shouts accusing and pointing. "He's done nothing of the sort and actually a really good guy! He's a friend! Take it back!"

Walt and Qrow both blink surprised. Qrow leans in bleary eyed, squinting and then smiles. "Huh? Guess I got it wrong. My bad. Don't see that everyday. Sorry."

"It's totally fine," Walt said. "I'm sure you've seen a lot so assumptions are understandable. Yeah we're good."

Qrow nodded and started pushing the cart. "Boy you ain't kidding. Seen a "Yang" last week that had more breast then a giant Nevermore. Poor thing didn't even recognize me. Don't think she even knew she was in a store. And then there's the Ruby that comes around regularly that-"

Yang blushed about the earlier stuff but then grabbed him. "You've seen Ruby?!"

"Whoa," Qrow said. "I've seen a Ruby. Not necessarily the one you're looking for-"

"Friday?" Walt said putting on the scouter and pulling out his phone.

(("Accessing... negative. It's one we've already tagged and cleared. You and Neo met her in the Mallmart parking lot that one time.")) [Authors note: Chapter 43]

Walt nodded looking at the picture on his phone. "So it is. Sorry Yang. It's not her."

Yang and Qrow both look at yhe picture on the phone. "Holy shit," Yang said softly shocked. Walt patted her on the back.

Qrow nodded. "Yeah that's the one. Comes in buying the cheapest booze we git in stock. Usually a couple brats in tow if she ain't pregnant. Fucking breaks my heart but... hey, who are you guys, anyway?"

Yang starts explaining to this Qrow their situation in brief as he takes them up to the register. "So you're trying to find your sister and your friends?" He sighed. "Well I wish you luck with that... but bewarned you might not always like what you find..."

"But-" Yang started but Walt held up his hand. "You found yours didn't you?"

Qrow looked around then shrugged and pulled out a flask taking a drink. "Fuck the rules. Yeah. I did. Found all of them. They're working overseas as a "group". Not unlike your little "happy harem", buddy." He pointed then lowered his finger sighing. "Bit it's different. They're in an actual harem. Buncha brainwashed and chipped concubines. They... don't even recognize me... and I thought my situation was bad. Being one of some lady's boytoys ain't bad at all in comparison. She even treats us nice in retrospect... got me a part-time job. It's honest work." He looks up sadly. "I'm trying to accept and it's sadly working you know? Just... tough to deal with."

Walt nodded and patted his shoulder and Yang surprised him giving him a hug. "Try not to drink too much... ok?"

Qrow smiled looking at Walt gor permission of somekind and he nodded smiling as he had Friday pay. Qrow hugged her back tightly. "Thanks kid. I'll try... and if you found a good home I'm happy for you. Find your sister. I was wrong. You might not like what you find... but never give up. Ok?"

Yang nodded and let go punching his arm tenderly. "Of course! Count on it!"

Penny grinned. "They have the libations and are bringing home the pizza and ice-cream from Neopolitans!"

There's a lot of cheering and clapping from the 3S crowd and the ladies as they setup for the improptu party."Best boss ever!" Someone shouted over by where the picnic tables were being setup. No one disagreed.

"MIC CHECK. ONE. TWO. GOOD ON THE DANCE FLOOR?", asked Tony.

"Good!" Shouted Rhodes.

"Another big party?" Says Pirotess spreading the table cloths. "Isn't this the third or fourth in the last week? It seems a bit... excessive. "

Mystique surprised everyone saying, "Who cares it's kinda fun." She blinks then shrugs. "Yeah I said "fun". Deal with it. It beats the usual."

Neo gave her a high-five as she passed carrying more stuff.

"Aren't you supposed to be having the day off?" Lydia asked as she hung lights with Aela, Sayoko and Roberta.

"Sí," Roberta said tossing a string of lights to Peter Parker. "But we want everyone to enjoy as well. Besides Isn't the setup for a party also fun?" Sayoko nodded in agreement tossing another strung of lights to Norman Osborne on his glider.

They heard Senko from the kitchen berating Soma. "No. Walter is the only one who will eat that nasty stuff and he's sampled enough of your weird dishes for a lifetime. Make it the good way, like a good boy and don't waste food! Understand?"

"Awwww..." Soma can be heard to say followed by *whack!* and then a loud. "Yes, ma'am!"

There's more chuckling. No one messed with Senko in the kitchen... not even a deranged loon like Soma. Senko hated wasting food.

"Well I think it's wonderful!" Young Bulma said. "It's been too long since we've had a party up here at the house!"

Raylan raised an eyebrow from the mason jar he was "testing" over by the bar. "Well it's a bit different now Bulma."

"How's that?" Rally asked.

Mature Bulma smiled and said, "It's obvious... he's not so lonely up here anymore! One happy Boss and so many happy ladies. Hmmmm?"

"Ah. I believe I understand," Data said carrying out plates and cups. "Courtship and mating rituals have taken a portion of his time is what she's insinuating I believe."

Apple Jack chuckled. "Being ah magic stud that brings happiness ain't easy... but it's honest work." She winked as the other ponies giggled.

They all looked around at the smiling faces. Some on faces still unused to smiling in a long while. It might be a funny statement but that didn't make it untrue.
