Wednesday Part 4

"Good work, Penny!" Glynda praised her pupil but reminded her. "But you need to get showered and changed. Your lesson with master Kenobi is soon."

"Thank you, professor!" She said stepping away from the others practicing their belly dancing. "I'll go do that now and afterwards I need to get back to baking. I appreciate everyone's instructions today!"

Aela, Lydia and Serana waved to her. "You did well. Enjoy your training!"

Senko looked up from where she was practicing lap dancing and then over to Haruna on the poles. "Wait for us, Penny! We'll join you. We need to get back to work as well!"

Neo looked at the other ladies and they nodded. They needed to get ready as well. They had Villain-anon later. "We're coming too," Anastasia said.

"We'll join you as well," Lifts-Her-Tail said and Sayoko, Roberta and Haruhime nodded. Everyone would likely be hungry after practice ended.

"Very well. Good work today ladies," Glynda looked at the rest. "Shall we continue for a bit longer and then wrap up for today? Aela, Lita, Serana and I can give you some individual instruction until then."

Everyone agreed. "You know... this was more fun than I thought it would be!" Sasha admitted. "I think it's because we all did it together."

Raven nodded. "It was pretty fun and different... and I think you're right. Some of us interact with each other pretty often but others haven't really hung out with each other very much. It was kind of nice doing things with others beyond our regular meals and classes..."

"Indeed," Lydia said. "I'm not sure if I did well as a "trainer" but it was nice to interact more with all of you."

Pyrrha nodded. "Maybe we can make that a regular "day off" activity? We could do something different every week? Learn some cooking basics or play a game, perhaps?"

Blake smiled. "That actually sounds like a good idea! We can gather ideas on different things we'd all like to try doing together or activities and skills someone wants to teach or run and when they're available. Maybe make a suggestion box?"

Mission said, "If thats what you want to do, wouldn't Friday be a better resource for that? She could make a bulletin board and chat for everyone and organize weekly events and activities for everyone to sign up for."

Ahnassi blinks she was still getting "modernized". "Is that something you can do for us, Friday?"

(("Certainly, Ahnassi. I can easily do those things for all of you."))

"Well the sauna definitely works!"

Willow nodded. It was hot... very hot! And it wasn't just the steam.

Kali had removed her towel. Her lovely, sexy body covered with a sheen of sweat on display.

This had had the effect of both making Willow jealousy wish she could take hers off... and grateful for the show as Walt clearly struggled to hide his erection beneath his towel.

"Maybe I should-"

"Stay," Kali told her as she stretched.

Walt tried not to stare. "I should go check on-'

Kali stood, her very naked body on display. "Check on the food? I got it." She walked around Walt's side to give him a much closer eyeful. "You two stay put."

"Kali," Willow said. "Your towel."

Kali shook her head with a grin and a wink. "I don't need it. I've decided to exercise the "clothing optional" bit of this trip for a while." She posed and paused letting the two of them stare at her for a bit as they processed that information. "Anyway, you two enjoy yourselves for a bit. I'll be back." She grinned and dumped more steam and laughed as she left. "Oh hoho! That's cold!"

Walt chuckled. "Sorry... she's a bit of a free spirit, sometimes."

Willow smiled. "Don't be. It's actually something I like about her... and you do too don't you?"

Walt grinned and nodded. "I do. I get the feeling she'd hidden this part of herself out of propriety for too long... now she's free to just be herself and she's indulging. I like that. Seeing her comfortable and happy." He looked away from Willow.

Willow realized she'd been leaning forward. Giving him a view of her towel cleavage. She watched him struggle to continue to hide his erection. *It's not going down now that Kali's not here,* she thought. "It's not just her! It's me! We're alone now and... this was her plan!*

Willow got up and Walt looked towards the back of the sauna. Willow tried the door surreptitiously and found it was blocked. *Kali!* she went to sit back down. *Just stay calm until she comes back, that troublemaking-*

She slipped. She was headed straight for the hot rocks and Walt caught her.

"Willow, are you ok?" Walt asked as he held her in one arm and felt her fore head with his other hand. "Do you need air?"

She shook her head. "No. I'm hot but perfectly fine. I just slipped. I think it was left over water from the bucket when Kali left." She watched his eyes go from concern to relief as he smiled at her and stroked strands of hair from her face.

"That's good. I was worried for... a moment... there..." Walt realized a couple of things. First the lovely and sexy Willow was in his hands and arms... again! Seemed like a large part of the whole trip had been like that. Second they'd both lost their towels. Third she'd realized it too as parts of themselves that shouldn't be were definitely touching as they looked into each other's eyes. Walt swallowed. "Willow, I'm so-"

Willow blushed but she put her put her finger to his lips. She didn't want to hear an apology. Not now. Not from him. "Thank you, Walt." She said softly feeling his bodies honest reaction to her. "For everything. All of it." She felt his hardon throb against her and her own body's heat climb that had nothing to do with the temperature inside the sauna.

Walt watched her bite her lip as she didn't move away and placed a hand lightly on his chest. He'd been trying not to see her like this but their feelings were both clearly on display here. "You're very welcome, Willow." He swallowed. "It's been a pleasure." She was so close. She shouldn't be biting her delicious lips like that when they could...

He'd closed his eyes and kissed her softly and she had too. She felt him pull back and opened her eyes looking into his. She could tell. He was about to apologize for crossing the line. She grabbed him and drew him closer. She didn't want to hear that either. She kissed him this time. Showed him clearly what she wanted from him.

Walt drew her curvaceous body to his as he returned her kiss. She was beautiful, lovely and incredibly sexy! He wanted her so badly and- he paused and chuckled. "I would like to continue this sometime with you Willow. Very much... but the sauna might not be the best place for this?"

She smiled and nodded blushing. "I would also like that, Walt. Should we... oh, damn! Kali blocked the door!"

Walt laughed and then nodded. "She would! I can take care of that easily enough but..." he caressed her face. "I honestly don't want to let you go... and I want you to know I don't want to pressure you into anything."

Willow smiled. "I know. I know who you are, Walt. I want you." She raised an eyebrow. "As much as you want me apparently." She looked down and blushed but laughed.

Walt did too. "Yup. That's the honest truth... but if we do that I want you to know that you're safe. I won't mistreat you or be cruel. You have had enough of that for one lifetime... I just want you to be happy, Willow. Whatever that takes. You tell me and I'll do my best to fulfill it. I promise."

She smiled at him. "I think that's the nicest thing a man has ever told me... thank you." She kissed him again lightly. "Shall we go?"

Walt nodded. He reluctantly let her go and went to the door. Sure enough she'd put something in front of it. He rolled his eyes and easily and carefully pushed it open.

He saw Willow had retrieved their towels... but hadn't put hers on. They both blushed but he saw her nod and purposefully put her arms behind her back so she could let him see.

Walt smiled and she did too seeing his obvious reaction. "Later?" She asked.

Walt nodded. "Definitely later." He watched her smile and nod. It was something they both wanted and agreed upon. "But first..."

Willow grinned and nodded. She agreed they had a prior something to take care of.

Kali smiled. "That's food preparations done..." she chuckled. "I should go check on the steamed pair-"

"No need," she heard Willow say from the door and two pairs of footsteps. Walt said, "The dish is almost done. We just need to prepare the just desserts."

Kali laughed nervously as she turned around. "That sounds ominous..." she was delighted to see the two of them close together though... and both very naked! Her meddling may have payed off but she felt like she was about to pay the price. "I just wanted you two to have some time together..."

Walt smiled and so did Willow. He stroked her face. "I appreciate that," he said removing her apron so she was as naked as they were. He swept her up in his arms and carried her off.

*Maybe this isn't so bad!* she thought.

Walt grinned. "It seems Kali like you've been in heat lately so-" he carried her outside in the direction of the hot tub.

"We were thinking," Willow said grinning.

Walt gently tossed her into the air and Willow used her semblance to make a gravity glyph that gently launched her naked butt into a snow bank. "You needed to cool off!" They said together.

Kali yelped at the cold shock but looking up to see them both laughing she shivered and did too. "I deserved that. "**** is a dish best served cold," they say. Forgiven?"

Walt stomped over and picked her up again but kissed her this time. "Forgiven. Now let's go warm you up again!"

Kali smiled.

"Your powers are growing as they return, Penny. That is good to see."

"Thank you, master Kenobi," she said as she concentrated on her form. She might not have The **** but a lot of the things he taught her shared or benefited the magic that she possessed. She could feel herself getting a greater degree of control over her power than she had before now.

Still as quickly as she was picking up her new skills she was a novice. "I still have much to learn though, sir."

Obi-Wan smiled. She was a good student and more importantly she had the right mindset. "All in good time."

Penny nodded. "Yes, sir. I understand. I also think it best we proceed at the current pace. I want to grasp the basics fully!"

Obi-Wan nodded. "I see you do understand. That's good. I think we can stop there for today." He smiled looking at the plate of cookies. "Honestly I think you might benefit from another teacher for your maiden powers as they seem to harness elemental power but I'm glad to continue your training in general practice, visualization, meditation and lightsaber instruction. You're picking them up quite quickly." He poured them both some tea to go with the cookies. "You're a fine student."

Penny smiled. She liked their conversations after training almost as much as the instruction itself. "Thank you, master Kenobi. Have you had many pupils?"

Obi-Wan bit into a cookie and chewed thinking. He swallowed before shaking his head. I've taught many but only a few pupils of my own. Some were quite gifted but didn't always make the best use of their gifts, I'm afraid."

Penny nodded. "I'm sorry, master. That must be frustrating for you as their teacher." She nodded. "I shall try-" she stopped and shook her head. "No. I will be as good a pupil as possible for you."

Obi-Wan smiled. "You are already showing remarkable progress in that area, Penny. Thank you... and thank you for the delightful cookies."

She beamed. "You are very welcome!"

Obi-Wan nodded. "Seems we have quite the audience today. Who are your friends? Why don't you introduce them and we'll all have tea together?"

Penny grinned and nodded. "I would be happy to master!" She waved her friends over. "This is Blake and Pyrrha who you met last time, and this is a new friend named Mission Vao from your world and this is Zwei he's a dog and..."

"... and so I still get a lot of hate for that out in public from people in general... which is irritating as I try to live life with my owners," Lust from Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood shared. "I try to insist that I change my appearance everytime we're out but my owners say they both prefer "the real" me... but almost everytime someone has to comment on the Hughes thing. I try to just let it go. It's not important in my new life... but It is frustrating, everytime."

There's a lot of clapping and comments of "nice share" and "hang in there Lust" from the group.

"That's a good share, Lust. Thank you," said Octavius. He was leading today's meeting. "And that's something many of us can relate too. Whether we killed off a hero, or another beloved character, made an "unpopular" decision or something else "fans" might not understand. But as you pointed out, those interactions and negative attention can be frustrating, but that's not worth holding ourselves back from trying to make the most of our time here. In the end, the important thing is how you feel and what you want to accomplish here in your time on Prime. Maybe you want to make a change, maybe you don't and maybe you just want to go through a "normal" day. The decision of what you want, freed from your story, are up to you here. Some characters never "get it" but most if they've been here even a short time start to understand. We may not have "freedom" thanks to being owned, but in many ways we're freer here than we ever were in our lives. Deciding on what is important to us as individuals and then acting upon that, even if doesn't work out, is important. As is trying to learn to accept the reality of our lives, here and now, and finding some measure of happiness in them... whatever that happiness maybe."

Anastasia raised her hand and when Otto called out she stood and approached the center of the room.

"Greetings. I'm the Baroness formerly of Cobra, though my owner insists on using my real name of Anastasia and it appears most of you do as well. I do not mind."

The group greets her. "Hello, Anastasia."

She actually smiles just a bit. "Pur owner has been providing a lot of basic instruction for the others in our group. Classes and the like. Even though I already excelled and passed them... I find I am continuing to attend with the others. It's... unusual for me. But it feels good just to be able to practice my skills with the others, even the novices. Today there was a different kind of class. Some of the others want to "surprise" our owner learning and sharing other skills with each other..."

She paused before continuing. "I almost didn't attend. I honestly don't know if I was just bored or merely curious. But as I did I started to enjoy myself as many of them did. I still haven't "accepted" being owned... but my owner does treat me with respect. Something I rarely got from even my allies without ****." She looks at Neo. "The others in our group also show varying degrees and levels of respect as well as general support. I am finding I like and appreciate that. That is all."

There's clapping for her and congratulatory comments and "Nice share" from the others. Neo gives her a thumbs-up as she sat which she returned making her grin.

A Harry McDougall shares how he has an owner who actually seems to like and appreciate him and he has growing affection for them.

A Dracula shares how he actually has started to enjoy his work and receiving guests that aren't "hunters". He only has to pretend "some of the time" these days.

Pirotess shares that she's like Anastasia, still getting used to being owned, but finds she enjoys her new home quite a bit. "It just feels good to have a connection to the land and forest. Even if there are things in my situation I am still struggling to accept, feeling that bond begin... a home after so long searching... it feels good and that doesn't feel "wrong" to me." Sienna pats her shoulder when she sits back down and Pirotess smiled.

A Tanya shares how she's just grateful being able to get back to work. She's enjoying her new job... though they won't approve her request to transfer to human resources for some reason.

A Bowsette shares that recent wedding planning for a nephew/stepson has been raising tensions at home a bit as the date gets closer and closer, but she's been working on her breathing techniques and only occasionally setting things on fire. Everyone commends her on her resolve. Weddings are tough and try the souls of many, including villains. The villains from 3S in particular are understanding. 3S will do Armageddon but has a firm "no weddings" policy for a reason. There's a lot of congratulatory well wishing as well for the event and the happy couple which makes her smile. They're good kids.

The Classic Harley Quinn from last session reported that her owner apologized for looking at the Newer Harley Quinns. He admitted he checked them out a little, it's hard not to the way some of them dress, but he'd been trying to rethink a gift he had gotten her. When she told him she'd like anything her "puddin'" got her he rolled out the surprise. It was an enormous classic round bomb! He'd had to rent an Optimus Prime just to move it after buying it. They were going to set it off this weekend on a "date"! Everyone agreed that was a very sweet gesture.

"Anyone else have a share?" Otto looked around the room and smiled at the blue hand. "Mystique?"

Mystique felt stupid. Why'd she do that?! She didn't have anything to share! She approached the front of the room. "Hello, I'm Mystique."

"Hello, Mystique," the chorus answer of the group.

She shook her head. "I don't know why I raised my hand. I don't think this group can help me and I honestly think it's a waste of my time and..." she looks out at the room full of faces. Some she recognized others she'd only met here. She looks over at Otto who smiles at her. "You can share anything here. If all you want to share is that you don't want to be here that is a perfectly valid share, Mystique. No one will judge you for that."

She nodded and looked back at her seat. She wanted to go sit back down.

"I cried today," she said quietly.

Nobody said anything as they patiently waited.

She swallowed. "I was all alone, everyone was at the stupid class and sharing and bonding and... I... chose to be alone... but we recently got a dog. That dumb mutt just started following me around. Everywhere I went there it was. Some things happened but I ended up holding the dog... and I cried. I don't know why. It could be anything! I've done terrible things! But this stupid dog didn't care about any of that... didn't care what a horrible person I am. It just wanted to be with me... and I sort of liked that... we walked around and spent the morning together before coming here... a stupid girl and her stupid dog... but we were happy. I was happy for a little while."

She hears crying and is surprised to see some of the villains wiping away happy tears... tears and smiles for her! The big Russian guy is passing tissues to Norman Osborne. Harley Quinn is openly bawling with Bowsette patting her back. Otto smiles at her. "Thank you, Mystique. That's a very nice share!" He holds out a tissue for her. She takes it realizing that she needs it.

She nods her head and walks back to her seat. They clap. Clapping for her. Happy that she found a brief moment of happiness for herself... and then chose to share it with them. And now they were sharing their happiness for her with her as she took her seat. She wiped her eyes. So stupid. Stupid meeting. Stupid sharing. Stupid Prime. Stupid Walt. Stupid dog...stupid her... it was all just so stupid!

Stupid enough to make a person cry.

"Alright," said Otto looking around. "Anyone else?" Seeing no one he smiled. "Alright we'll call it there then. Our next class will be at the 3S facilities and then we'll be back here at the community center next Wednesday for those who can make it including our senior villains and parent villains." He smiled at several elderly villains and villains who were here for the daycare or "Mommies Together" and similar classes and clubs. "Hopefully Steven can get away from work for the next one but we'll make it work regardless."

He smiled and clapped his hands. "Very nice meeting everyone! Let's close it out with our affirmations and then have some pie!"

Mystique was surprised. A lot of people came to briefly chat or introduce themselves to her. Neo and the others made it a point to sit near her without crowding her. She appreciated that.

They were stupid too.

The stupid pie was delicious.

So good she only half heartedly tried to escape the community center and the 3S transport back to the base and the ranch.
