Ianto was up the Cherry Picker. Yes, so was Hawk. Ianto had thought to harness the little monkey to the safety railings In case of… that. Hawk squeaked as his flailing took him over the edge under the railing and he dangled in the air as Jack yelled with horror. Yes, Jack had told Ianto that Hawk would be fine up there, "Don't be so hard on the child. He knew to be safe… just take him up for a little look about."

"Don't' panic old man!" Hawk yelled lustily as Ianto slowly lowered the Cherry Picker "I am capable of great things! This is like getting down a building!"

"You ARE getting down a building ya bloody twat" Ton scolded before anyone could stop him, seizing the child to smack his bum.

Hawk stood there with open shock at the brutality of the pat to his arse from his brother's palm that would not even make a cat yelp, Ton continuing to scold "If you fell on your head it would bust open and brains would spill everywhere. Do you have ANY idea the mess that would cause? The building not even officially opened and you jinxing it by dying and stuff. Then you would haunt it and we could never enjoy it. Do not be so damned horrible!"

Everyone blinked as Ton stopped to take a breath, clearly shaken by the near death experience of his little brother.

"Ton is right ya know" Imp said softly, so much like Ianto as he looked over the frame of his glasses "A terrible jinx on a building. We want this to be a happy place, so we are pouring in love. Tears would not do, not in keeping with the Capitan Kitty Hawk Code of doing no harm either. What would he say if he knew you were so foolish, hmmm?"

Hawk's face closed down as he considered this, his mouth pursed into a look of annoyance as he knew he could not say what he wanted to, it might give way his secret identity. Damn it.

"I will be more careful and he does not need to know" Hawk finally said haughtily.

"This time!" Ton said firmly over his shoulder as he stomped off "Next time I will go get him and drag him here by his kitty ears to see to the problem!"

Imp leaned in close and said softly to Hawk "We can never let that happen. If the two of you meet in real life the paradox could explode the world. You know that!"

Hawk nodded as he took on a superior air once more "Quite right brother. Quite right."

A tap of a finger to a nose and the little man swaggered off, done with the Cherry Picker and it's dangerous deadly intent. He went to get his little backpack from Dadda's vehicle. Maybe CKH could watch from a distance.

Mi Lady lay back on the tray of the Cherry Picker and watched the little boy as Ianto slowly rose to paint some more.

She was not sure about that pup ya know. A little madness in that one.
