Different WITCH AU

"They're adorable." Halinor whispered to Kadma who was grinning as well as they watched the two children eat. Angelo kept trying to shove his veggies onto Will's plate when he thought no one was looking, only for Will to look at a microwave and thank it when it, presumably, told her what he had done. Then the red head turned and gave Angelo a look that she must have learned from Kadma within the last hour or so and he sheepishly took his veggies back and ate them.
"If they're still like this when they're sixteen, we can start planning their wedding." Kadma whispered back with a grin making Halinor giggle a bit.
"What are you two old women whispering about over there?" Joe asked eyeing the two women across the table as he filled the kids drinks back up with sweet tea.
"Who are you calling old?" Halinor asked looking at Joe who grinned at her.
"If the shoe fits…" Joe trailed off when he felt the pitcher handle in his hand begin to warm up.
"You're older than her you silly man." Kadma pointed out amused since Joe was a full year and a few months older than Kadma, who was at least three months older than Halinor.
"To-mato To-mat-o." Joe said making the children giggle slightly.
"You were talking bout worlds having Hearts?" Will asked looking up at Halinor curiously and making her smile at the little one and reach forward to tap the girls plate from across the table.
"Yes I was. Eat all your veggies and I'll finish telling you. Finish your whole plate and I'll even tell you about…The Guardians." Halinor said announcing the last part dramatically and making Will look confused. Angelo looked confused and turned to his grandparents.
"Like the stories you tell me?" Angelo asked turning curious and confused eyes on his grandfather who nodded his head.
"Yeah but Hallie here is better at them. Helps that she can draw out different pictures to show details." Joe said grinning at his 'sister' who blushed a bit and ate some of her own veggies to avoid saying anything. Out of their team she had been the artistic one, always sketching or drawing in a notebook. It hadn't been hindered by her becoming a hippie either, in fact the other hippies had encouraged her talent with the arts.
"You can draw? Cool. I can't draw very good." Will said smiling up at Halinor whose heart just kept melting around the baby Guardian, the girl might be five or so but as far as Halinor was concerned that made the girl a baby.
"Well not everyone can. Everyone has something they're good at. Kadma here, for instance, can't draw anything more complicated than stick figures…but she's great at gardening and tending to plants of all kinds." Halinor said with a warm motherly smile towards the little girl who tilted her head slightly.
"Like how I can tell when people lie and talk to the machines?" Will asked curiously and making Halinor nod slightly.
"Well yes that is certainly unique to you, but there is likely to be something else you're good at too. Kadma had always been a natural with numbers whereas I wasn't. I could draw while she couldn't, but I was horrible at school work." Halinor said earning a snicker from Kadma and Joe.
"I'll say you were. How many times did Kadma have to tutor you before a big test…and help you with homework?" Joe asked grinning at Halinor who frowned at him.
"Shut up." Halinor growled slightly at the man while Angelo looked confused.
"Like how I can pull swords out of rocks and Will can come up with these really good plans to do stuff that no one else thinks about doing?" Angelo asked looking at his grandparents who jerked at this and turned back to look at the two children.
"You can use some of my powers?" Kadma asked looking at Angelo surprised and earning a nod from Joe and John.
"Yeah I was going to tell you about it later so you could help get the boy started on some training." Joe said making his wife nod with a small smile.
"Of course that way he's not just some muscle bound brute like someone I can name." Kadma said looking pointedly at Halinor who reached over and smacked her arm playfully.
"I'm not a muscle bound brute." Halinor said earning snickers from the two grandparents.
"Hallie…you were using three different fighting styles by the time we were ten…and I'm ninety percent sure that you learned much more ways of fighting after we 'retired' as Guardians." Kadma said giving her friend a flat look and earning a sheepish smile from the blond of the group.
"How many different styles did you learn on Kandrakar?" Joe asked grinning at his 'sister' who blushed a bit and scratched the back of her neck embarrassed.
"Forty seven." Halinor admitted sheepishly and making Kadma give her a pointed look.
"Fine so I'm good at fighting but that doesn't make me a muscle bound brute!" Halinor said bending a bit under the look Kadma was giving her but still remaining firm on her main point.
"Would you feel better if I called you a blond brute?" Kadma asked quirking her eyebrow at her old friend who opened her mouth for a second and then paused.
"That's just as bad." Halinor said after a moment as she glares at Kadma who merely smirked while the children giggled.
"I could call you an overprotective and possessive brute." Kadma pointed out casually earning a glaring pout from the blond.
"I am not overprotective." Halinor said sulking a bit and earning a look from Kadma.
"One boy had grabbed my arm and before I could even turn to see who it was you had already broken their arm and thrown them into a tree." Kadma said dryly and making Halinor pout harder but look a bit smug. They had no way of knowing that both Will and Angelo took Halinor's next words to heart and made them the two children's motto.
Even if it had Kadma smacking her upside the head for her language.
"No one touches my precious people without me kicking their asses."
