"Doubt I could," T.K.O stated looking down at his legs. "I 'am not nice."
"Nonsense. It's something I 'd always told my boys, there's always good in you."
He sigh, still not seeing how he could make a friend. He didn't have any growing up and most of his time was spent taking care of his little brother.
A while after Sliver Spark gave him some alone time, T.K.O dragged himself back to camp.
"Hey, kid." Red who was a few other teammates. "It was going to be your turn to cook, but since you're in a bad mood-"
"Fine."
"You know how cook?" Enid came up and questioned.
"Of course I do, I've been doing it for years."
"So, you lived on your own?"
"No, I had my annoying brother and sister with me."
"Well, I say, let's see what you got." Red stated.
T.K.O went to work. He gotten the ingredients to make pasta. He wasn't sure what possessed him to make it. It still hurts him to remember K.O, but it's not like he had many options. However as he was letting the water boil, he couldn't help, but feel something off about this, yet familiar about this.
He soon heard what sounded like a little kid asking for their mom. Pulling his attention away from the water, he looked around with a raised brow, but saw, but Carol and his teammates. What was that? After a tad, he gave up and went back too cooking. Once finished, he had to pass the pasta out.
After handing them out to a few people he soon saw Enid next in line. She was looking over at Red who was sitting, talking to some teammates.
"Agh," he groaned. "Why don't you talk to her already?"
"Me?" Enid asked in calm tone, though it was evident that Enid was avoiding Red. "Nah. I mean why would she even talk to me? I 'am just a regular soldier and she's the captain."
"Listen Enid? If you want something then get it before something goes and take it."
As Enid looked back at their captain, T.K.O gotten out another bowl and fill her's and the new one. After handing the food to her hands T.K.O made the ninja turn and pushed her a tad.
Enid gave one last look at him. He gave her a serious expression. She head off to the leader.
"Hey, Enid." Red greeted.
"Oh, hey Red," Enid uttered. "Uh..."
"We were just discussing battle strategies . You wanna join?"
"Sure."
While T.K.O watched his teammate sat down and gave the captain her bowl, a small smile appeared on his face. A tad later he gotten everyone's food, he sighed and walked a bit before sitting underneath a tree tad bit away from his team. His smile had long since gone and replaced by a sadden one.
Just then, he heard a voice popped-up. "It seems as though you haven't gotten your food. P.K.O."
His eyes turned to his side and he saw Dendy, standing next to him. The villain looked away from the Kappa.
"Don't feel like it."
"Hey P.K.O." T.K.O then looked in front to see Enid walking towards them.
"What dose she want?" He thought to himself.
"I just wanted to say thanks for the advice."
T.K.O's smile soon came back for a brief time before his ninja teammate questioned "You haven't gotten anything for you?"
"Agh, don't feel like it."
"It appears that P.K.O is suffering from some loss." Dendy spoke up.
He sigh. "I had to make my brother that all the time."
The girl in the ponytail soon gained a concern look as she asked "So, you've lost your brother?"
He stayed with his head down, not answering.
"Wo, sorry P.K.O." Enid said.
Dendy soon asked "Perhaps we should get him some other nutriments?"
The ninja offered. "I have some chocolate bars in my bag."
"Fine." He replied, not wanting to be babied anymore than he has to.
After Enid gotten out the bars and handed them to T.K.O, he was going to bite into one, doubtful on the food switch would be much better, when he noticed that Enid and Dendy sitting down next to him.
"Uh, what are you doing?" He asked puzzled at the sudden turn of events.
"Sitting next to you." Stated Enid.
"Why?"
"It looks like you need someone to be with."
"I don't need to babied, Enid." He countered crossing his arms with an angered look.
"Dude, relax? The girls with Red had some lame plan on fighting against villains."
"It's quiet enough to work." Dendy added her reason.
"Fine." He said, giving up on eating alone.
There the trio ate, Dendy was messing with tech-pack Enid asked "So P.K.O,"
He looked at her.
"What kind of music do you like?"
He let out a sigh, predicting that his teammate's comment would not be great. "Rock metal."
"Hm, I kind of like that too."
T.K.O eyes widen a bit before he looked and smiled.
"Say Dendy,"
The Kappa stopped what she was doing and looked at Enid with a calm, yet curious face.
"what's your favorite music?"
"I do not have one." Dendy replied moving her eyes down and breaking eye contact.
"Not a music fan, huh?"
"Well, no. I have been preoccupied with building inventions."
"So you never had any friends?"
"Yes."
"Bet you had tons of friends?" T.K.O asked in sarcastic tone.
"Actually, I had one." Enid answered hanging her head with sadden face.
Great, now he feels bad. He was suppose to be a villain; no where dose it say that he was supposed to feel guilty of hurting someone's other than K.O. What would his brother do in this situation? Most likely do something stupid and gain everyone's attention.
The villain let out another sigh. "So, what's your favorite color?"
What?! Why did he say that of all things? At that moment, he just wanted to face-palmed himself for that failure.
"It's purple."
He looked at and saw that she was being honest and didn't seem mad or anything. He let his small smile appear again as he looked to the found.
Enid soon spoke to the kids about what's their favorite stuff and T.K.O found himself enjoying the girl's company, though still was careful on not spilling anything that had to do with him being villain and being associated with villains.
