This is in response to pldjumpr6's question of how Eliot explains what he does for a living to his daughter!
Eliot hates school projects, always has.
"So, Daddy What is it that you do exactly? Don't worry I'm going to lie and say you're a race car driver for my paper but I wanna know for myself."
Eliot looked over his shoulder at his daughter sitting Indian style atop the kitchen table she was starting to grow into a real beauty all coltish limbs and big blue eyes. She was an odd combination of her surrogate mothers today she was dressed similar to Parker in gray yoga pants and black tank top complete with that messy side braid thing Parker did, that Eliot had never quiet mastered. Though she spoke with Sophie's propriety and moved with her grace. In truth it kinda freaked Eliot out how much she was like them and how she was least like Tana. "You shouldn't lie and get off the table, that's what chairs are for."
"But Dad, I can't say my dad protects people and get an A."
"Are you sure you're only eight?"
" Last time I checked." she got down.
"Smarty pants, but that is what I do I help and protect people."
"You mean you beat people up and steal things, for good like robin hood but still you always say stealing is stealing no matter the reason. Can I stir the veggies?"
"Yes, How do you know what I do?"
"I'm not stupid Daddy. You get lots of bruises and are always helping Parker and she admits she's a thief.
"Ok, So I protect the crew and use violence as an appropriate response to do it."
"Ok, but why?"
"It's what I'm good at I didn't have the best parents your Nana is great but she put a mean man with a drinking problem before her kids. I learned to defend myself so he wouldn't beat me anymore by the time I was a grown up I was fairly fearless and Someone said no one can steal that…weather it was a baseball card or a person I did it. I stole it because I could because they'd dared me or paid me a lot of money. Mostly I did those things beat people up took things because I was good at it I liked it. Made me feel powerful."
"But its stupid to do something dangerous because someone dares you." she stirred the veggies.
"Yes it is I was young and dumb."
"So you did it cause you wanted to before right?"
"Yes."
"What's different now why do you help people now?"
"Mostly because of you. God blessed me with you so I'm just trying to pay it forward the best I can."
She walked over hugging him around the waist placing her head on his chest. "Either way I'm proud of you and I'm glad you're my Daddy."
"Well thank you." he kissed the top of her head. "And I'm glad you're my Katie Beth, go tell the others dinner is ready."
"Okay." and off she went Eliot smiled in spite of himself "I'm just glad she didn't ask if I've killed anyone." he muttered to himself shaking his head.
