“There were some new recruits that I couldn’t physically train them myself. I had to assign someone extra duties for a little while” Katerina said as she dropped her purse on the nearest end chair. “Hmm, smells good.” She added on as she followed the smell the of the food over the kitchen. Katerina then made herself a plate and walked over to the table where Charles seemed so focused on the screen. She placed the plate down and sat herself down to make herself. “I have some news.”

“I had a few who complained a few times about not being strong enough for the training. I dare say they are in the wrong line of work, but I had someone else take over.” Charles had been too fed up by that time to even consider sticking around. “Oh?” he flipped the laptop closed, leaving his food be in exchange for turning his attention to Kat. “What is it?”

“I beat you home for a change?” Charles lifted his gaze away from the laptop screen, having done a little after work research. “Dinner’s on the counter.”

“Hey, have you seen Marielle?” Jackie poked her head into the room. The downside of leaving the eleven month old with another gang member was that they always got either busy or annoyed with the child and kept handing her to someone else. And then that person would hand her to someone else, which turned finding her daughter again into some type of scavenger hunt.

“Do I need to constantly remind you that that this isn't a playground?” Charles stood by his desk, the little one on his hip as she tried to grab at his hair. “It’s no ones job to be your child’s babysitter, Jacquenette.”

“Never knew my presence was such a bother to you, Charles. I’m almost offended. A little, though from what I’ve been able to put together, there isn’t much going on with the Revs.”

“Everyone’s presence is a bother to me, but I tolerate the lot of you. Some more so than others. Ah, I see. Have we all gone stale then? Can’t a man ask for a little blood in the streets anymore? This city is getting dull.”

“If you ever have children, you’ll find out it’s anything but insignificant,” Natasha mumbled, a hint of amusement in her voice. That he saw her as someone who was going to freak out at the sound of a gunshot was unfortunate, but didn’t come as much of a surprise. “And the last thing I need is for half of our members to run the other way when I drop the word ‘vaccination’,” she retorted with a shrug, implying that a lot of them weren’t nearly as tough as they made themselves out to be. “I’ve been shot. I’ve removed bullets from places you couldn’t even imagine, and I’ve been around people with weapons for quite some time now. But if you don’t want to hand me a gun, that’s fine.” She’d had to shoot someone in the leg once and wasn’t especially keen on pulling the trigger on a human being again.

“While the world could use more of me in it, I don’t see that happening in the foreseeable future.” Not even the responsibility bothered him so much as the complete and utter time hog kids were. “Fair enough. I suppose I could spare a hour or two if you are that interested.” Charles took a step back, a smirk appearing. “Show me what you know.” In the next second he gave no further warning and went to grab Natasha; curious to see if she even knew any of the basics in defense.

Natasha looked flabbergasted. “I don’t -” Biting the inside of her cheek, she cut herself off, unsure if Charles would still bother with her if he knew that she merely wanted to refresh her self defense skills - her training with Amando lay more than a year back. “I’m a mother now. A few months ago, there were tanks in the city and I had to throw a pacifier at a soldier to make sure he didn’t shoot my friend.”

“Excuse me, you what? If your skills only lay in the knowledge of throwing an insignificant item at a armed solider then you are a lost cause already.” Charles stared at her for a long moment, her reasoning having sunk in. “This is why children are a hindrance. Why that is a ambitious reason to learn, I won’t waste my time on someone who is too flighty with their emotions. Last thing I need is you crying the first time the gun goes off and scares you.”
