When KO got here, he was looking forward to spending time with his dad. He was hoping he could learn to play catch since Carol was too busy trying to train him and take care of the house, and Gar never learned himself. But It's been an hour an all he's done was sit by Fink's bed and watch her try and fail to get passed the same level, he often looked to the clock wondering when Venomous will be done with his meeting.
He's tried to make light conversation with his dad's minion, but she always either ignored him or told him to shut up so she can focus. He's accepted that father-son weekends also mean having to deal with this stingy ole rat, though they had some scuffles KO wants to make a better relationship with her when he visits. She said they were friends, but maybe he can work up to being her friend. Or familiar acquaintances at best. He didn't know if she can be called his adoptive sister, though she and his dad share a father-daughter type bond it wasn't ever confirmed to his knowledge.
After another game over screen Fink screamed in frustration before throwing the controller into a wall, which struck onto a dart board with his face on it. "I swear this monkey is cheating! I've tried every tactic I know and I just can't get rid of him!"
"Are you okay?" he asked with a hint of caution.
She groaningly look to the boy that's in her room for some reason before sighing, "Oh just this impossible level, I'm trying to sneak into the Imperial Monkey Fortress and find the secret plans, and every time I get to the end there's this big dumb monkey that always kills me before I can finish!" she aggravatedly explained. "I've tried evasive maneuvers, I've tried conserving my health for when I get there, save my rounds for him, nothing works. This is the only game I've never completed with 100%, the only mark on my perfect record. Word gets out and my name will be tarnished."
"Oh."
She pinched the bridge of her nose before standing up and going over to the controller in the wall to press the pause button, "I got to tinkle, in the mean time." she quickly grabbed his collar and glared at him with her yellow eyes. "Don't. Touch! Anything!" he gulped and nodded. She let him go before walking out of her room.
KO then looked to the TV, paused after Fink's character respawned at the check point. He recognized the game as Splinter Apes 3: Incognito, after his run in with Chameleon Jr his mom forced the two to a playdate and be friends. Which was a bust till they wound up playing video games, one of them being the game in front of him right now.
he knew she would rather bath in acid than get help from him, but that didn't stop him from pulling the controller form its prison and unpausing the game. He knew she'd be furious but he had a plan on how to salvage the first day of this week's visit.
(later)
Fink grumbled as she returned from the lavatory, "No more jumbo drinks."
Level Completed!
She went wide eyed before seeing the screen, which showed her character dancing with a flash drive in his hand. With enemies down around him, including the giant red monkey that she could never get past. KO timidly waved to her, controller in hand, she went up to him with an exasperated look. "What? But how?"
"Oh, I've played this game before. Just because I'm a hero in training doesn't mean I don't have hobbies." he said.
Fink just stoically stared at KO before picking up another controller, "Then prove it."
(many co-op mode levels later)
Fink stared shocked at the 10 results bracket that said KO won, she turned to the kid before she bowed down to KO "Please teach me your ways master."
KO looked away while rubbing the back of his neck, he hasn't been called master since he let his old sidekick Combo go. "I uh don't think its something that you can teac-"
"TEACH ME OR I'LL KILL YOU!" she screamed before pointing a laser gun at his head, finger on the trigger. KO gulped.
(90 minutes later)
Venomous just came into the room, "Sorry I'm late, the meeting ran long and-" he stopped when he found his son and minion playing one of those videos game that Fink always plays. Looks like KO wasn't too bored while he was gone, plus neither he or Fink had any bruises or scars so that's a good sign. Venomous smiled as his two favorite kids were starting to become friends.
"Hey watch it! You nearly killed me!"
"Not my fault you have such a big head getting in the way!"
Well mostly, he figured he'd leave the two alone and go work on his next experiment. Though the two were still arguing, they were inching a little closer with each wave of monkey spies defeated.
