Blood, Lust and Magic
Lust 038
"Okay watch Torn and see what he does," Dave encourages Kurt, "See how he's laying on his stomach and pulling himself along with his arms?" he points and gets the positive feeling from Kurt.
Ivy had picked them up and had taken them to play in the exercise area with the roofed over courtyard, only they never made it that far because Kurt got distracted by the giant indoor assault course.
At the moment Torn was demonstrating how to go under the rope net by crawling along and Kurt was excited and wanted to have a go.
Master and dangerous woman have taken him to a fun play area for grown ups, it is like the fun play area for children and people like him but less colourful.
Butterfly man has finished crawling under the net and now he can have a go. Master helps him down then Master walks next to him as he struggles to crawl under the net, it is much harder than it looks but he makes it to the end where Master holds him and fusses him and he is happy here.
Of course that triggers Kurt to have a go on everything that he possibly can and Dave walks nearby to catch him if he trips and to help explain things though he vetoes Kurt climbing anything high yet.
It's all going well and Kurt's wearing himself out nicely to sleep tonight, when he notices the mini zip wire where a bunch of Specials are working on some manoeuvres as they come down, it all looks impressive and then Kurt's bolting across the room towards them.
"Kurt!" Dave yells and hopes the man doesn't get in the way of the woman currently coming down fast.
Luckily Kurt stops at the edge and all Dave can get from him is an image of the swings in the kids' play area and then an image of the zip wire, he turns to Dave and then Dave knows the guy really, really wants to try it.
"Not yet Kurt," the man starts sulking, "There are people using it, remember what we talked about in the play room? About other people using toys you want to play with?"
Scuffing his foot on the floor Kurt looks everywhere but at him and Dave stomps his amusement down because it won't do for Kurt to realise Dave finds him funny.
"Well?" Dave draws the word out and Kurt huffs a few times before the memory of that time filters down the bond and Dave can see himself talking to Kurt about playing nicely and sharing. "Yes, that's right we have to ask first and sometimes we have to wait. So if you really want to play we have to ask when you can have a go. Do you want to play on the zip wire?" Dave thinks hard about the assault course equipment in front of them.
Master is asking him if he wants to play and he tells him yes, then Master takes his hand and they walk to where more black and grey people are, Master talks to them and they nod saying he can play on it in half an hour, he remembers time from the Before and it is not long.
He happily goes with Master to play on the funny wooden rope bridge, he clings to Master to stay steady and then jumps off of the end.
Well that was easy all he has to do now is distract Kurt for half an hour, with Ivy, Rip and Torn here it shouldn't be too hard and he laughs at Rip and Ivy racing over some obstacles, as normal nothing phases Rip so she's fine with beating Ivy but she knows better than to rub the woman's face in it.
He is playing with his friends and allies when Master says, "Okay Kurt it's been a half hour do you want a go on the zip wire?" And he runs straight to Master so Master can take him there.
He tugs on Master's hand so they will go fast and Master makes him walk slowly instead. Then Master talks to the black and grey people. "Kurt, I need you to listen to me," he looks straight in Master's eyes so he will hear everything, "That's good, now these guys need to put a harness on you," he sees a thing made of straps that must be a harness, "And then they'll help you up and secure you to the wire," Master points at the metal string the others had slipped down. "If you want to stop or get scared let me know and I'll get you down," he can feel Master touch the magic inside Master, Master would never let anyone hurt him.
"Okay, let's get this started," Master says and he goes with Master so the man in black and grey can put the thing with straps on him, he has to step into it and Master has to tell them if things are too tight or not tight enough.
Standing on the floor Dave paces restlessly as the Special trainers help Kurt up the steps to the platform that a moment ago hadn't seemed that high but was now ridiculously high and he gathers his magic in case Kurt falls.
"He'll be fine," Torn says and Dave jumps having not seen him creep up on him, "What's he feeling?"
"Excited," Dave tells him, "And happy, stupidly happy, and that platform is a bit high, right?"
Rip snorts, "Relax Fury, our little Fancy is a fearless little thing and he's going to love this."
And then Kurt is standing at the edge of the platform ready to go and Dave's stomach swoops and starts doing the fucking tango as his heart speeds up, he gives Kurt a nervous thumbs up when the man looks at him.
Master is worried because Master is wonderful like that. The man who tied him to the metal string has told him what to do and he does it.
Hanging for a few seconds he nearly screams for Master but then he is moving down so fast that he laughs instead. This is more fun than a swing and he vaguely remembers big metal things from the Before that he would ride again and again as his stomach would dip and dive and swoop.
There are people ready to catch Kurt at the end and they let him down as the Familiar fidgets and all Dave can get from him is joy, pure and utter joy, the man had enjoyed it. There had been a moment when Kurt had been afraid and then he was totally into it. Dave just bets the little fucker used to enjoy funfair rides at this rate, Dave hates them and tends to vomit on anything more aggressive than a carousel.
It's clear Kurt wants to go again so Dave asks the people running it and they have a small window before their next class, "Okay Kurt, you can go two more times," Dave holds up his fingers and then Kurt sending a mental image of all his fingers and thumbs, "No, not ten times, two times, they have a class, there are more people coming to play on the zip wire and they booked in advance. Remember to share toys Kurt."
Huffing loudly Kurt sulks for about five seconds and then sends an image of three fingers, "No, two fingers or no fingers," he daren't budge on this or Kurt will walk all over him.
Sigh in an over the top dramatic way Kurt gives in and then runs back to the steps to be helped back up, all around the room Specials have stopped working out and are watching them.
Figuring that Burt and Carole would be interested in Kurt's daredevil routine Dave hands his communicator to Rip, "Can you video him? Only I can't…" He doesn't admit that he's going to mother hen over Kurt until the man is down on the ground and safe.
"It's fine Fury," Rip doesn't tease him and he's glad about that and then it's time for Kurt to go again.
Master is so good to let him do this, and he does as the black and grey man has said so he can fall down the metal string. And he falls laughing the whole time. Then he runs back again for his last go.
When he flies down the metal wire he flaps his arms because he wants to fly like a bird and this time he spins too and it is even better than the last go. Laughing he stands still as the others help him off the metal string and then he bounds over to Master and jumps at him.
Master is so amazing that Master catches him, "Oh someone's happy," Master nuzzles him and then spins him, "You little daredevil," he laughs again and can hear Master's loud laugh fill the room.
Putting a very exuberant Kurt down Dave gets his harness off of him and Torn volunteers to take it back for them, then Ivy leads them over to some exercise mats and starts to teach Kurt how to roll over like Snowy.
Sitting down Dave watches and occasionally calls out encouragement. Rip gives him back his communicator and he checks the video, "Damn Rip, you should do this for a living, you're good at getting great angles of him on that."
"Thanks," she smirks and shows him one she's done on her communicator and it's of him hovering and going pale as Kurt zips down the wire, "Oh and that one's already posted to my account," she winks as he has to swallow the swear words because Kurt's too close.
"Thanks," he tells her dryly and contemplates how to get revenge on her.
"You're more than welcome," her smirk grows and Dave wonders if he can get away with casting something harmless on her.
A/N: Sorry for any and all mistakes, I've tried to catch those I could, but I'm only human.
