Monkey Fist stared blankly at the cooing infant that sat on the floor across from him.

It had been a mere seven hours since it happened. She had slept for a while, but then she had awoken, crying. Now, she sat playing with his monkeys, her old garments replaced by new ones. Monkey Fist had felt uncomfortable about undressing and then re-dressing a toddler, so he had Chippy do it. The monkey ninja had wrinkled his nose when his master gave the order, but after one glare from Lord Fiske, he did as he was told.

The monkey man knew that at some point he would have to do all of the diaper changing and clothes buying himself, but for now, he would continue to sit on the floor, telling himself that he was a father now. The father of a kidnapped child. He hadn't felt that uncomfortable about other illegal acts, but for some reason, he couldn't wrap his mind around the fact that he had snatched Stoppable's little sister.

Monkey Fist snapped back into reality when Hana gently tugged on his hand-fur. He couldn't stop a small smile from crawling onto his face when he saw her baby-toothed grin. "Hello Hana." He said gently as she giggled and grasped both of his hands. He instinctively drew back slightly before being pulled into another dance with the infant. However, he wasn't in quite as much peril this time.

He chuckled as he and Hana spun around for the second time today. He felt free of danger until the girl let go and sent him flying across the room. She sat giggling until the monkey ninjas leapt to their feet, hands aimed to strike. She then began to cry, causing the ninjas to step back, lowering their arms. Monkey Fist groaned and rubbed his head as he stood up, slowly walking back over to where he had been about fifteen seconds ago.

As he reached the sobbing Hana, he bent down and scooped her into his arms, holding her to his chest and patting her back. He glared at his Monkey ninjas over the child's shoulder as they all stared at the ground in shame. He then began to walk down the hall, off to put Hana to bed. As they walked, her cries began to soften to mild hiccups. He whispered something to her before smiling to himself.

Then he wondered- would he be able to give Hana a truly happy life? He pushed the thought from his head and continued walking down the hall, the light of the fire fading into the distance.
