29th Christmas
Hawk was in fine form, his cat suit a more refined one given the cool new room of gadgets and he had even let Jax try out a few things, both boys in the back section throwing…. What? Jack thought he was seeing things, taking a deep breath as the four year olds babbled and giggled, so excited as they chose another knife and hiffed it with all the expert ability of an untrained monkey.
Jack blinked, tined to look around in case this was a hidden camera moment, then walked as calmly as he could over to the two boys "Excuse me men. What's the go here?"
"Ah! Dadda. My tricks were missing the blades. Not to worry… these ones are fine!" Hawk held up a little steak knife with a flourish, brandishing it like a sword as it flashed past Jax's eye and Jack made an involuntary sound of alarm.
Christ. Ianto was gonna kill him. Flay him with a tea towel… then kill him if he looked out the window and saw him here with the boys in blade throwing mode.
"I see. Um… a bit… boring isn't it?" Jack finally remembered how to be a grownup and not a panicked Daddy as he cleared his throat and looked up at the sky "Can't hit a drone with a bomb on board going past up there with one of those. Poor Taddy will be dead and the Christmas tree burned up before you can get inside."
Jax was the first to break "Grandy Deaded? The twee?"
"Yes. All the gifts under it… Grandy is making the little cookies that go in the plate for tonight's movie night. Shame that. No more big screen TV. BOOM… because you were just trained in throwing… knives."
The desired effect was achieved as both boys gaped, then Jax did the most natural thing in the world, turned to Hawk "Well? Captain Kitty Hawk would stop it right?"
Hawk's eyes narrowed as he glared at his father trying to think of a good comeback and finally he did an interpretive dance, pulling a little water gun from his pocket as he screamed "ACID!"
"Ah, thank god. I knew you were on to that" Jack nodded deftly scooping up the knives as he pointed in the other direction "But if the kitties are taken over by mind control robots you will not want to acid them right? You need another one with milk in it to lure them away from danger."
"OH MY GOD!" Hawk said with wide eyes, the mask slipping as he gaped at his father for even thinking he might harm one of his fluffs, then the boys took off and Maisey slid out from behind a rose bush to look at Jack and nod.
"Good save" she finally said softly wandering after the boys she had decided to hunt for the day, no doubt at some stage scaring the shit out of them she as screamed and attacked with the bulrush currently in her hand.
Jack hoped CKH was ready for such a malicious henchman attack.
He carried the knives back in to help Ianto make sandwiches out of leftover turkey. YUM!
