The next morning Luna was woken up by someone banging around the bathroom. She looked at her phone and groaned, it was only 5 and she was about to shout at whoever had woken her up. She walked out into the hallway and heard another bang and grumbling coming from the bathroom. She tapped on the door and waited to see who was behind it. Soon she heard a voice talking as the door opened.

"How am I supposed to work this thing." She was shocked to see Connor standing there, nothing but his boxers on and the handle for the shower in his hand.

"Um, well not taking that off would help." She held out her hand for the faucet handle, not realizing Connor was looking her over, standing there in nothing but a t-shirt and panties. He slowly dropped the handle in her hand and she just walked into the bathroom and tried putting the handle back on. She turned to look at Connor and noticed now he and Edward were just staring at her, bent over the side of the tub.

"Are you two looking at my ass?" Connor turned red and looked away as he rubbed the back of his neck. Edward didn't try to hide it, he just gave Luna a wicked smile as he raised his brows.

"Connor, you want to know how to work this, come here and learn." He came over and stood next to her, listening as she told him hot from cold and then to turn the counter-clockwise to turn them on. She showed him what she meant and soon had a nice hot shower going for him. She opened up a linen closet in the bathroom and handed him out a towel and washcloth.

"And you Mr. Edward, I hope you were paying attention, because I am not teaching you how to use it too." She then brushed past him as she went back to her room and shut the door.

"She has a thing for you kid." Edward shut the bathroom door after speaking to Connor. Edward went back to his room and Connor took a hot shower before getting dressed for the day. When he came out of his room he heard someone else in the shower and figured it was Edward. Connor went downstairs and started moving through the lower level of the house, looking for something to capture his mind. He now sat in the library reading when he heard footsteps coming down the steps. He was looking over a book explaining how Altair had come to rule over the Order, and he felt that he was the man who saved the brotherhood from falling into darkness. Who ever had comedown the stairs had went into the kitchen and was moving about, pots and pans clanking as they worked. Connor felt that he needed to help in any way he could, so he placed the book back on the shelf as he made his way out to the kitchen. Standing there at the stove was Luna who was getting ready to make some breakfast.

"Would you like me to help you?" She turned to look at him, her damp hair falling in waves around her face. She smiled as she motioned to her left where there was a bowl out on the counter.

"Yea, could you start mixing up the pancake mix as I get this coffee going." He watched Luna as she moved about the kitchen.

"What is pancake mix?" The look on her face was embarrassment, turning her cheeks a shade of pink that he liked seeing on her.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I just keep forgetting you guys aren't familiar with all these things we take for granted now. I hope I don't frustrate or upset you by just jabbering on."

"No, I like to listen."

"Yea, you seem like the strong silent type. A man of few words, but when you do speak, you make sure it has meaning behind it. I wish there were more of us like you. The brotherhood seems to be full of people who feel free to sing their own praises these days, but yet when it comes to action they are the last ones to volunteer."

"Why allow them to remain?" Luna had moved around Connor, gathering all the ingredients he needed, setting them down on the counter as she spoke.

"It's not that easy anymore. Abstergo is willing and able to pay good money to those who join their cause. If we turn away those who know our secrets, they could easily sell out to the Templars. The world today is driven by greed, not desire for a better world. Don't get me wrong, there are still plenty of people who are striving to make this world a better place to live, but they're high-profile people, wanting to end world hunger, not assassins trying to stop Abstergo." Connor watched as Luna measured out the ingredients and started pouring them into his bowl. Now she handed him a spoon so that he could start mixing. He kept mixing as she added a few more things to his bowl and then headed over to the stove. The coffee was made and now she poured herself a cup.

"You want a cup of coffee?"

"Yes, Thank you."

"How do you like yours, with cream and sugar or just plain?"

"I prefer mine with cream and sugar." Luna smiled as she made him a cup of coffee and sat it down next to the bowl he was still stirring. She put her hand on his to take the spoon and he saw the color appear on her cheeks again. He let her take the pancake mix and watched her as she headed to the stove, pouring circles of batter onto a hot griddle. He took a sip of his coffee, adding a little more sugar to his liking and soon the smell of the cooking pancakes hit him. He heard more footsteps on the stairs and turned in time to see Edward coming down the steps with Claudia on his arm.

"Hey, there is coffee ready and I am making breakfast." Claudia made herself cup of coffee and Edward spoke up.

"As per our wager, what chores would you like me to help you with?"

"Um, well none at the moment. I hear movement upstairs, let's just enjoy breakfast before we talk about work." Edward nodded, making himself a cup of coffee. Soon Carlo, Ezio and Yusif had come down and made their way into the kitchen. Carlo decided not to waste anytime as he started giving everyone a crash course in history as they enjoyed breakfast. They sat around for hours talking and then Carlo decided they should all go out hunting.

"Does anyone object with hunting?"

"I do not object, but we must remain silent in the woods if we plan on being successful." Luna nodded in agreement with Connor.

"Your right, so we all need to be careful. Does everyone know how to shoot a bow?"

Soon Carlo and Edward were showing Claudia and Yusuf how to aim and shoot properly while Connor, Ezio and Luna went out into the woods to hunt. Within a few minutes Ezio and Luna had lost sight of Connor and began to say his name quietly. A branch above them creaked and soon he had dropped down behind them, scaring them to the point Luna drew back her bow at him. She dropped it slowly as she saw Connor standing there, a smirk on his face. He held a finger to his lips and then he accented back up into the trees. He stalked for a while, then suddenly he dropped a deer a few yards ahead of them. He and Ezio carried the deer back to the farm while Luna led the way. Once back at the Farm, Connor gave everyone a lesson on how to dress the deer, everyone except Luna who headed back inside and started preparing to make dinner. Soon Carlo came in and brought her some of the fresh meat to cook.

"Are you alright."

"Yea, I just don't like the thought of cutting up Bambi. I know, I'm a damned assassin, I should be used to killing, but it's Bambi. My dad's fault for letting me see the movie when I was little." Carlo smiled and shook his head, making his way back outside to help clean the deer. Soon dinner was finished and everyone seemed to really enjoy it. Luna didn't really have an appetite, but she didn't think anyone would notice she only picked at her food. After dinner was finished Edward and Carlo volunteered to clean up, and Luna took the opportunity to sit in the library and read. Connor came in and saw her curled up in a chair by the fireplace.

"I'm sorry that you did not like the deer."

"I did like it. It's not that Connor. My dad let me watch this super sad movie when I was little about this baby deer who looses his mom and dad. So, I always hate killing deer, well not killing them, the cleaning them part is what I don't like. Then I got to thinking about my mom."

"I lost my mother too when I was young."

"I'm sorry. I can't imagine."

"What happened to your mother."

"She wanted to help out my dad on this one mission, so she went undercover at Abstergo, and when they found out she was spying for the assassins, they killed her." She looked up to Connor who was now seated on the floor by the fire, and she thought his eyes seemed so young. "What happened to your mother?"

"She was killed in a fire that tore through our village. I was too little I could not save her."

"But you have saved so many lives since then. She would be proud of you."

"As would your mother."
