Monday Pt 5

"So tonight let's-"

Pirotess shook her head. "I'm staying tonight. I have more training in the morning."

Anastasia crossed her arms and said much the same. "True. I want to get some rest. Plus I want to perfect my next couple of disguises."

Demona nodded. She understood. "I'm also tired. Some of us didn't sit around taking it easy today. Perhaps tomorrow night would be better? Wednesday is mostly an "off" day, correct?"

Sasha chuckled. They didn't even try to conceal their "plotting" from her anymore. Infact she took Walt's advice he'd given her and straight up swore to them she wouldn't reveal anything as long as they "behaved" and no one got hurt. She found it interesting to listen to as she worked on her own gear and thought about dinner!

Dinner... Walt and Raven were on their way back and the others had been preparing. She'd been loitering around looking for her opportunity but one of the maids had thrown something out the window at her and hit her with surprising accuracy! Probably Sayoko or Roberta. They were frighteningly keen and good at their jobs but...

Sasha pulled the wrapped, still warm potato out of her pocket that they'd hit her with and started giving it shelter in her belly. They were also good friends! Almost everytime she snuck around she got a little snack, usually for doing a little work or a job.

*Wait a minute,* Sasha thought pausing everything except her brain... and her mouth. *Isn't this how people domesticated animals? Got them to learn to do work and tricks? Is that what I am?* She shrugged. If so it's still a pretty sweet deal.

Mystique fumed but she saw the others point. *Doesn't matter anyway. There's no escape for you no matter what you do. Aren't you tired of futile wastes of effort yet?* She sat on her bunk and tried to block out the thoughts inside her head. She watched as Sasha looked up cocking her head. Probably listening to that AI.

"Walt and Raven are back!" Sasha announced then shoved the rest if whatever she was eating in her mouth to run out the door.

*Running to her masters side like a good little dog,* Mystique thought. She was surprised as Pirotess excused herself and left as well. Baroness looked at Demona and said something about the hotsprings. Demona nodded and they left too after grabbing some towels. *An attack dog and a couple wild dogs sniffing around and watching the tame ones,* she thought. *How long until they're also "trained"?... and what kind of beast am I?*

She wanted to strike something but she knew the AI was monitoring all her behavior now after the incident with the training dummy. *A collared beast,* she thought. She didn't like it. Being left alone with her thoughts stewing wasn't doing her any good. She sighed and grabbed a towel too and headed for the door. She might as well get cleaned up and think in the hot water.

"Thank you for all the help everyone," Walt said as they were finishing unloading. He turned to Raven. "And thank you fir coming with me, Rae-*cough* Sorry. I meant to say, Raven."

She smiled slightly. *One little trip together and we laughed, talked and shared things with one another,* she thought. *We went from first names to nicknames and... it feels good. Like friends. He's always treated me like a friend and he genuinely cares. It would be dishonest to dismiss that.* "Rae's fine, Walt," she said. "I actually had a good time. Thanks for inviting me along."

Walt smiled. "So did I, Rae. I'm very glad you came with me." He yawned and then so did she. "Well I suppose I should go help in the kitchen-"

Penny smiled and grabbed both if their arms and lead them into the house smiling. "Actually I have a better idea!" Neo grinned as she pushed them from behind and took Walt's hat.

Walt chuckled. Penny and her "ideas" were usually surprising, especially when Neo was involved, but were consistently and pleasantly, good ones!

"What are you two up to?" Raven asked hesitantly.

They seated Walt and Raven on the couch by the fireplace together as Senko came over nodding. "Perfect," she said as Penny and Neopolitan removed Walter and Raven's boots. Senko joined Penny and Neo kneeling down. "Ok, now remember what I told you about foot rubs..."

"Sorry for the delay," Senko said as she reentered the kitchen and washed up.

Kali smiled. "Not a problem, Senko. How did it go?"

Senko chuckled. "They're both cuddled up by the fire, passed out. Sienna and Ilulu are adding more wood now. Operation give Walter a night off from cooking is off to a good start!"

Kali grinned. "It really is a lot of work cooking for so many but it goes so much more smoothly with all of you here. I know he enjoys doing it but there's no reason for him to help every night. Especially with so many of us pitching in." She looked over. "Yes, just like that Willow. That's a big help. Thank you!"

Willow smiled as she readied the dough. "You are very welcome, Kali. I'm just glad I'm not messing it up. You ladies make it look so easy."

Senko smiled as she checked and stirred the sauce. Sayoko and Roberta were preparing the toppings as Lita and Haruna came in from outside.

"I see," Haruna said. "I'll remember that trick. Thank you, Lita."

Lita smiled. "You're very welcome, Haruna." She looked at Kali. "The ovens will be properly warm shortly. Ahnassi is tending them and I put Sasha to work on the firewood."

Kali nodded and smiled. "Perfect," she looked at Senko who tasted the sauce in a small tasting bowl and then nodded. She brought it and a spoon over to Kali who tried it to and also nodded smiling. She clapped her hands. "Alright ladies... let's try making pizza!"

She felt her phone buzz and saw the others checking theirs. The picture she saw made her smile. "Let's make a test one first. We've got plenty of time."

The others nodded their heads in agreement.

Sienna grinned as she and Ilulu turned around from the fire to watch Penny and Neo preparing to put a blanket around Walt and Raven but waiting. "I've got to say, that's pretty adorable!"

Neo nodded as Penny agreed. "It certainly is."

Walt had one arm wraped around Raven and she was completely cuddled up next to him, tucked into his side. They all looked at the spot on his other side. Penny, Neo and Sienna thought about the picture Neo had taken that night from the casino and nodded.

"Huh?" Ilulu said as Sienna and Penny guided her towards that spot and Neo texted Manami. "What are you..."

"You sit here," Sienna said placing Ilulu in the spot on his other side as Penny took off her shoes and rubbed her feet. She looked like she was going protest but Walt's other arm seemed to automatically curl around her as Penny rubbed.

"That's nice..." she said as she yawned. "I do like naps..."

"Ok, I got your text Neo," Manami said entering. "What-Oh!" She blushed but smiled. "I see you want me to record this! Sure let me just-"

Neo grabbed her hand and walked in front of Walt. She raised her finger to her lips, then pointed to his lap.

Manami looked at the spot and blushed. That was indeed something she wanted! Very much! But she was hesitant. They all smiled and nodded at her. Neo held up her phone. [Be brave if you want to]

Manami looked down at her feet. She paused and remembered all of Neo's advice and the data she had shown her. She remembered all the encouragement everyone had been giving her. She slipped out of her boots, looked up at her hero and nodded her head. She slowly approached. She didn't want to wake him or disturb his rest. She turned to look at the others and they nodded. She closed her eyes and slowly sat down.

She didn't know what she had expected. There were no fireworks or trumpets or anything silly, not that she'd thought there would be. Just her heart thumping like crazy! She felt Neo touch her feet and started to relax.

He was... warm. Very warm. Of course he would be in front of the fire... but this was also him. His body was warm. She'd noticed it before. Now it was all around her. She felt something and realized with embarrassment it was his penis. Even flaccid he seemed shockingly big. She almost freaked out from nerves. But his big chest breathing in and out, heart beating was soothing. Like waves on the ocean with a drumbeat. She leaned back listening to it. This was actually nice. Relaxing. Maybe this was ok... Just for a little while...

Neo and Penny stepped back. Sienna handed Penny one end of the blanket and, after Neo took her picture and nodded, they carefully draped it around the foursome. Neo took another picture of that too.

Glynda sighed as she looked at Blake and Pyrrha. "Honestly you girls... and you dragged Willow into your plan and now you want my help as well?"

"Please, Professor?" Pyrrha asked.

She blushed but Blake nodded. "We want to learn."

She looked at two of her best students and then at Serana. "And you have experience in this sort of thing too and they approached you as well?"

She nodded. "They approached my companions first. We'd already received instruction. Aela and Lydia agreed after they pointed out it might be useful in just keeping us limber. I'd honestly never thought of the practical applications myself either. And if they're going to do it anyway, it's best they learn the more technical aspects and techniques through coaching rather than trial and error."

Glynda pushed her glasses up. "A valid point indeed. And you agreed?"

Serana shook her head. "Not yet. Knowing that you were their former teacher I told them I would if you did. I... don't have the same teaching experience as you do."

Glynda nodded. "Wise..." She sighed. "So several potential instructors and how big of a "class" exactly? Show me the potential class space too. If it's going to be done it should be handled seriously or not at all."

Blake and Pyrrha smiled and nodded as they gave her the details and lead the way to the gym. Glynda hadn't said "no".
