Tuesday Pt 9 Hot Tub

Walt poured the champagne into the glasses and handed them to the beautiful ladies trying not stare... but that was difficult to do because that's exactly what Kali wanted and told him so. She held his hand after taking the glass. "You can look at me all you want, Walter. I'm wearing this for you and I want you to look at me. I like when you look at me and I love looking at you."

Walt nodded and smiled. "I know. You're stunning, Kali. Thank you so much." He kissed her.

She grinned. "You're very welcome , Walter! Thank you for all of this. The champagne, the trip and everything. It is wonderful."

Walt grinned. "I'm so glad. You're very welcome, Kali."

Willow blushed but nodded and smiled doing the same thing when he handed her her glass. "I'm a little embarrassed about it, and you're a wonderful gentleman Walter, but I also wore my suit to be seen. I appreciate you not staring b-but you may look. And thank you for this wonderful time and including me in it."

Walt smiled at her. "Thank you very much, Willow. I think you're just as beautiful and lovely." He leaned in and kissed her cheek. "You're very welcome, Willow. It really is a pleasure to have you here with us."

Placing the bucket and bottle nearby he stepped back into the large hot tub and held out his glass. "To you, ladies."

Willow smiled and held her glass against his. "To you, Walt."

Kali did the same saying, "To us."

They all smiled at each other and nodded. "Friends," they agreed and drank.

Kali sipped her drink looking at how her friends were looking at each other and smiled to herself thinking, *And more!*

She was pleased. Certainly she wanted time with Walt to herself but she also realized how unselfishly he shared himself with everyone else... and it only worked because the others did the same. Once she tells Blake she'd be a official part of their little group too. She wanted her friend to be happy as well. Willow had an unhappy life for far too long... and she had other motivations as well. She'd heard the way her daughter talked about some of her friends. Her attraction to some of them was obvious and Kali understood. She'd been the same in her youth. The idea of spending time with Walter and the other ladies appealed to her as well! Including her beautiful friend Willow.

Watching Walt and Willow chat though she knew the rules. It had to be done safely and honestly. No real pressure, just support. She smiled. It was a strange but beautiful thing they were building together and it had made so many happy already, including herself. She's fully on board.

Walt was just finishing up some anecdote. "... so since he was caught he lost Alex at playing cards!"

Willow looks at him, "but that's not why you were irritated about it, was it?"

Walt nodded. "I used to play with them but not often. I'm too good and I don't play for characters. Even when I "won" I almost always let them "buy" them back for cheap. No, Hoofer losing her that way is what irritated me. She's a good agent in her own right. Granted she'd been a little rough around the edges but with some 3S training we polished her into a beautiful gem! Losing an agent of her caliber like that put a bee in my bonnet. Hoofer's an old friend of sorts but honestly sometimes it's hard to understand his thinking. It sounded like he lost her to Chuck or one of the kids... she'll be much better off in my opinion. Maybe she can get reunited with her teammates."

Kali smiled. "You'd like that wouldn't you? The things you're trying to do for us. The people I have talked to at 3S. You've reunited lost loves, families or given people back the important things they've lost."

Walt nods. "That's accurate. 3S as well as SI, SFG, SEP and SIS are first and foremost businesses. Unlike LWF's nonprofit and charities they need to operate at or be expected to make a profit. But they're also just as much about providing a fulfilling life for characters. RD when used that way can make the impossible, possible. Reunite someone with their lost comrades and families, a scientist with a lost love or undoing a horrible accident, or just providing a place where individual talents can flourish amongst equally gifted and talented individuals, etc.. That's my underlying goal. Second chances."

Willow smiled but shakes her head. "What were those others besides 3S? Branchs? I assume SI was Stark Industries..."

Walt chuckled but also blushed. "I honestly wanted to call Stark Industries something else but it has name recognition amongst fans and wasn't trade marked so that's what we went with. It irritates some of the comic book and other characters just a bit at first, especially those with a grudge against one of the Starks from their instances, but they let it go after they see the benefits.The others are the Stark Financial Group and Stark Entertainment Productions, which are pretty self explanatory, Stark Interstellar Services which covers off world transit and other services, and the Lone Wolf Foundation which oversees all of the nonprofit ventures like the 3P or Protected Parks Program and others. Together they over see the other similar but different parts of the business underneath the 3S umbrella."

Willow nodded. "Like the Schnee Dust Company also has Snowshoe Shipping. That makes sense. Is 3S really that large?"

Walt nods. "It's a bit of a pain really. By gathering the very best of the best in every field, I needed to have something for them all to do. A lot of them are specialized in their specific areas or fields. Outside of teaching or training, they needed to feel fulfilled doing the things that make them happy and not just standing around twiddling their thumbs. So it became even more work. Without Friday I'd be in trouble. I had to expand on and upgrade her into one of the most powerful AI's to keep on top of everything and I over did it a bit. She's thankfully generally only running at around 10% or less."

"That's not so bad then," Kali said.

Walt smiled and shook his head but let it drop. Sure to the average person who had no understanding of the scale, it didn't sound so bad. To someone who did though and had an inkling of what Friday does now they'd look at him like Dr Frankenstein and his monster... and they wouldn't be wrong. Unlike the doctor however he was not about to abandon his creation. He was very fond of Friday but she needed him to not only be a limiter for her but a example of somewhat justifiable and acceptable behavior and temperance. Fridays infatuation and meddling could be tiresome but that was vastly preferable to the worst case scenarios.

Willow smiled. "So according to our agreement Kali goes twice now?"

Kali laughed and winked. "That's right! Go easy on me okay?" Her tone suggested otherwise though. She was having fun amongst people whose company she was enjoying. She knew she'd been the one to up the ante by suggesting the hot tub and swimsuits. She was willing for them to do the same in return.

Willow looked at Walt and he shrugged. "I honestly haven't played this game in ages so I'm not sure myself to be honest."

Kali laughed. She started to rub Walt's leg with her foot. "You "don't " know what you want to do with me?" She asked flirtatiously.

She grinned as Walt gave her a look and said, "Later."

Willow blushed but Kali continued to play footsie with Walt as she pushed Willow closer to him. "Then you two need to talk it over with each other!"

Walt laughed as Willow said, "Kali!" But she did move closer. "She has a good point. What should we do Walt?" She whispered.

Walt thought. "Two challenges for Kali..." the trouble was they had to be embaressing but also fun. It was important to not ruin the mood they had going of just playing around. Walt grinned as he started whispering into Willow's ear.

Kali smiled too seeing them get close. She watched Willow giggle and touch his arm as Kali stroked his leg. They were fun to watch. They both kept checking each other out too! Definitely some good chemistry going on there. They both nodded and grinned and she did too.

Walt cleared his throat. "For our first dare we challenge you to be more cat like."

Kali blinked. "What?" That wasn't what she thought they'd come up with.

Willow shook her head. "Don't say "what?" Say it cutesy like a cat. Try "nyah?" Willow lifted one of her hands with her fingers curled like a cat's paw.

Kali still looked at them. "You know some Faunus, like my daughter, take exception to the whole stereotype thing, right?"

Walt did like Willow had making his hands into a cat paw and looked at her. "Ahnassi, do it all the time. Special friends think very cute like kitten sometimes, yes? Kali saying she won't give her friends some cat-titude?"

Willow clapped her hands at Walter's performance while Kali looked down sighing. When she looked back up she was smiling and doing the catpaw thing too. "Nyan! Kali will try being purrfect cutesy kitty fur meowster!"

Willow giggled and Walt dramatically clutched his heart! "Oh! Too much! It's over 9000!"

Kali giggled and moved closer to Walt. She placed a "cat paw" on his chest and looked up at him forcing her eyes extra wide and cutesy. "Over nyan thousand? Is that too meowch fur meowster to handle?"

Willow was openly laughing as Walter pretended to faint. Kali nuzzled up to him like a cat. "Oh nyan! Kali-kat furgot meowster's the Cat's Meow! He's purrfectly dreamy!"

Walt gasped. "Kali-kat used cutesy cat attack. It's very effective!"

Willow reached over and rubbed Kali's head and asked, "may I?"

Kali smiled and nodded. She trusted her. "Purrlease do, Willow!"

Willow leaned over to gently rub Kali's ears. "Such an adorable, Kali-kat!"

Walt suddenly realized he was in trouble. Both lovely ladies were pressed up against and draped all over him in their playing around... and one of them hand taken advantage of the situation and was rubbing his erection. He could guess who.

"Me-ow am adorable?" Kali wiggled closer to Willow over the trapped Walt. His erection was throbing in her hand and she felt his right hand tapping her trying to get her attention. Tapping out already?

"Yes you are!" Willow said laughing. It was mildly embarrassing but they were all laughing and having fun... except for Walt who'd gone kind of quiet and mumbled something. "Wa-oh!"

"Ny-oh!" Kali said as the hidden jets activated powerfully surprising her and Willow. One of them was hitting a sweet spot as Walt grinned holding her ass in place.

Willow laughed beautifully and slapped Walt's arm. "Did you do that? Walter! Hahaha! That was a well played surprise!" She realized how close they were and blushed. She moved away to sit back down but bit her lip and sat herself next to him instead smiling.

Kali smiled as well. She didn't want to disturb their progress and provoke Walt further so she stopped stroking his hardon but left her hand there. "Yes, a pleasant surprise!" She also bit her lip through the jet and Walt's kneading grasp looking him in the eye asking silently for a ceasefire. "Was that satisfactory for you?"

Walt nodded smiling as he let go of her. She hadn't removed her hand, he kind of didn't want her to, but she had stopped for the moment. "That'll do, Kali. That'll do." He winked.

She sat down pressed up next to him smiling. "That was actually pretty fun, if I'm being honest. Don't tell Blake though. She's oddly touchy about it sometimes." Kali sighed. "I have no idea where she gets her awkward killjoy tendencies. It's definitely not me. If she has fun with something she should just embrace it." She only lightly played with Walt's erection now running her fingers across it while Walt caressed her one handed. The jets created enough disturbance of the water to mask mild playing around. She idly wished he'd worn nothing or the bigger pair he'd brought so she could slip her hand inside. That'd be hard to do with the tight ones.

Willow sighed. "My girls are like that too but in their case I can understand a bit. It's at least partly my fault. Weiss at least retained some playfulness but Winter... so serious." She made a frowning face and they all chuckled. "But that's the military. It was her chance to escape and honestly I am glad they both did. I'm proud of them."

Kali looked at Walt and he nodded. He surprised Willow wrapping his left arm around her shoulders gently. Kali stopped toying with Walt and reached her arm across him to take her hand. "We know there's things you wish were better or different," Walt told her hugging her gently with his left arm.

"But we both can see the good things in your children that came from you, Willow." Kali squeezes her hand. "So don't be too hard on yourself, dear. No one's perfect, including parents."

Willow sobbed but smiled at the genuine tenderness and support of her friends. "Thank you both for that. It means a lot!"

Walt pulled her insistently but gently close hugging her. Tucking her head under his chin. "You're very welcome, Willow. We're here for you."

Kali had grabbed one if the towels and was gently drying her eyes. "Always."

*How odd,* Willow thought as her tears now flowed unabashedly. For her children, for herself. *If someone had told me I'd have a cathartic moment like this, scantily dressed in a hot tub on a mountain top in another world, I'd have thought they'd have lost their mind. But now...* She listened to his heartbeat as Kali wiped away her tears. *I think it must have always been this way. Destiny is a funny thing.*

"Walt."

He nodded feeling Willows even breathing. "I know," he whispered. She not only had stopped crying she'd fallen asleep.

"Poor dear," Kali whispered. "She's unnecessarily hard on herself... but you knew that didn't you or at least suspected. "

Walt whispered. "I did... as hard as things have been for her I suspected that it was harder for her to forgive herself. Her children love her still, even if that bond is strained it won't break... but forgiving and loving herself? Yeah, I expect that to be hard. That's not something she could get from her family. She likely needed outside support to start this journey. And as they say the first steps the hardest."

Kali smiled at him. He really was a wonderful person. "I think she can make that journey with you by her side."

Walt smiled at her and softly said, "Funny. I was just thinking the same thing about you. Together then?"

Kali nodded and kissed Willow's forehead and he did the same. "Together," she agreed.

They happily stayed like that for awhile.
