Chapter 11
With everything at an end, the family began to live as normally as they could once more. But first thing was first. Garou took Alley to the lab of Metal Knight, claiming he got the location from the Association. When he brought her in, he covered her eyes. "No peeking now."
Garou continued to led his daughter in until he revealed her the lab. Her eyes widened. She stared at everything, the equipment, the robots, the parts and tools. "Dad… this is mine? ALL mine?" she asked.
"Well you have to share with the brat king, but more or less, yes, it is."
Her arms wrapped around him tightly. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" He hugged her right back and just as tight.
"You're welcome baby girl." He said. "I hope you use this wisely… huh, I guess you'll be Metal Knight from here on, won't you?"
Alley shook her head. "No, I am going to be entrusting the Heroes Association with the robots. We will use them for situations that may risk too many lives to complete. I will maintain and control them for now, but if needed, they will be deployed by not just me." She said. "But I should put in a fail safe so no one takes these out willy nilly."
Alley went right to work, Garou said his goodbye as she waved him off and began her own projects.
Garou made his way back home. He found the house oddly empty. Melee was the only one in the living room, watching TV. "Where are the boys?" he asked.
"They went out to practice and take in the town for a little bit, they were coop up far too long at the association."
Suddenly, there was a devious grin on his face. "So… we're alone?" he asked.
"Except for Rover, he's out marking the mountains."
"I don't include the dog." Garou's smile widened as he began to slink over to Melee. His arms braced over her as he lifted her off the couch.
"HEY!" she protested yet giggled as he held her in his arms. "What are you doing!"
"I say we have some fun… just the two of us…" He began to kiss her passionately. "It's been a while…"
Melee kissed him back. "It has… hasn't it?"
He pressed his forehead to her. "Let's change that, shall we…" he began to carry her to the bedroom. Melee laughed all the while as the door closed, they had the house all to themselves…
