Jack leaped on top of a rock, sticking his tongue out at the two critters chasing him. One of them jumped up and swiped at the young man's foot. Jack took a step back to avoid getting hit and ending up stepping off of the rock and falling backward. He let out a yelp as the two jumped on top of him.

"Help! Help, I'm being overpowered!" Jack cried. "I surrender! Don't eat me!"

"Good job, my little warriors." Chase said as he scooped Zelda off of Jack. "You've defeated your first enemy." The warlord scratched under Zelda's chin and chuckled when the cheetah bit his finger. "You're going to be a fierce warrior like your mother."

"Guess I was wrong." Jack said as Raja nuzzled his neck, trying to get the young man to play with him some more.

"Wrong about what?" Chase asked, allowing Zelda to hop up onto his shoulder.

"You do have a dad vibe." Jack laughed when Raja started pawing at his stomach, tickling him a little. The genius sat up, picking up the little warrior as he did so and sat him down on the ground.

"I don't know whether that is an odd thing for you to say to me or not." Chase took Zelda off of his shoulder and put her on the ground as well. Raja tackled his sibling the moment her paws touched the grass.

"Fiesty, aren't they?" Jack chuckled. "I hope Nani and Liam are enjoying their naps."

"It's not like they have slept much since Raja's and Zelda's birth. These two were running around before their eyes were even open." Chase stated, watching the kits roll around in a play fight. "Where does all of that energy come from?" He sighed.

"They're kids. Kids have non-stop energy." Jack said.

"I must be getting old then." Chase chuckled.

"You are over fifteen-hundred years old." Jack sang.

"Hush." Chase sat down next to Jack, leaning against the large rock the young man had fallen off of.

"But you'll never be too old for me." Jack rested his head against Chase's shoulder and took one of the warlord's hands into his own.

"But you might be too sappy for me." Chase said, the humor obvious in his voice.

"Even evil genius' cuddle." Jack moved his body closer. "And warlords do too."

"As you say, Jack." Chase felt the other man stiffen. "What?"

"You...You called me Jack." Jack tightened his hold on Chase's hand.

"No, I didn't." Chase stated.

"You did! You just said 'As you say, Jack'." Jack corrected, his eyes wide with joy.

"Did I? That's new." Chase chewed his lip. "Must be from hearing Wuya say it so many times this past month."

"Oh, shut up and kiss me already." Jack smirked, chuckling a little when Chase did what he was told to. The two parted when they heard soft mews and saw that Raja and Zelda were making silly faces at them. "You got a problem, little ones?" The two continued the faces and started dancing. "You better behave or the evil boy genius, Jack Spicer, is going to get you!" Jack scrambled to his feet and chased the two kits.

Chase smiled and got comfortable as he watched the three play. Jack chased Raja and Zelda for a bit before tripping over a stone and the kits were on him in an instant. Jack let out little roars as he gently tossed the little warriors off of him. Zelda soon grew tired of playing and went over to Chase, laying her head on his leg while curling up for a nap. Chase smiled a little and ran a thumb along Zelda's head, feeling the cheetah purring against him. Chase's eyes were half closed as Jack and Raja continued playing, neither of them seeming to be stopping anytime soon. Chase was okay with that. The sun was warm, the grass was soft and the forest was only filled with the sounds of wildlife and wind. His eyes were closed for a while and when he reopened them, he was greeted with the sight of Jack sleeping against him with Raja sprawled out on top of Zelda, who was still on the warlord's leg. Chase let out a hum of happiness and closed his eyes again, this wasn't so bad after all.

He groaned a little when he felt a Wu being activated. Surely it wasn't that important, was it? Perhaps he could just ignore it and enjoy this moment a little longer.

"Chase! Jack! A Wu's been activated!" Wuya's voice echoed,

"Huh? A Wu?" Jack yawned a rubbed an eye. "How long have we been out?"

"Truthfully, I am not sure. But let's head back before Wuya has an aneurysm." Chase sighed, picking up the kits as he got up.

"Carry me?" Jack asked, holding his arms out.

"I'm carrying kits, right now." Chase protested.

"But the lair's so far away." Jack whined, waving his hands in the air.

"And the Wu is even further, now get up." Chase said.

"But da-"

"Call me dad and I'm leaving you behind."

"Papi?" Chase bit his lips and started walking away.

"I'm breaking up with you."

"Chase, wait!" Jack laughed and scrambled to his feet, quickly catching up to the warlord. "Can I hold Raja?" He asked.

"You didn't even want to get up five seconds ago and now you want to hold a kit and walk at the same time? Are you sure that you can handle that?" Jack pursed his lips and glared at Chase for a moment.

"Just give me the damn cat." Jack held out his arms.

"I'm pretty sure Nani would not appreciate your language in front of her kits." Chase smirked a little.

"Fucking hell, Chase." Jack huffed.

"So harsh. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?"

"I don't even see my mother, let alone kiss her. She doesn't really have the mom vibe." Jack said. "Can I have Raja now?"

"Here." Chase handed Jack the kit. Raja let out a soft mew and buried his face into Jack's chest, purring loudly.

"Looks like you have the mom vibe your mother lacks." Chase chuckled.

"Shut up." Jack stuck his tongue out, putting it back into his mouth when Chase kissed his forehead.

"Gross." Jack rubbed his forehead with a hand, a smile on his lips.

"I could do worse." Chase grinned and moved closer.

"I wouldn't mind." Jack placed a hand over Raja's head.

"Chase! Jack! What is taking so long!?" The two stepped away from each other when Wuya suddenly shouted again.

"This Wu better be worth it." Jack sighed.
