Five years came and went. Gray Mann attempted to assassinate Saxton Hale seven times, but failed miserably. Gray continued attacking Mann Co. for a few months after his failed assassinations, despite the RED Spy's interference, before deciding that there wasn't any point in continuing his attacks any more. Nobody knew where he or his robot hordes went after that. Support's little daughter, Aine, considering her father's nature of employment and the good nature of most of his co-workers, got on fairly well with Pyro, Scout, Medic, Engineer, and Heavy. Soldier and Spy ignored her most of the time, Sniper found her and her Irish accent annoying, while Demoman was too drunk most of the time to do anything sensible with her, such as teaching her about the explosive properties of potassium chloride.
Because of a desire to see her husband, Support's wife had become a regular sight after fighting hours. Spy's lone attempt to have an affair with Support's wife lead to the Frenchman being hospitalised for a week, with damage so severe to his two best friends that he would never father any children. Following the disbanding of the RED and BLU teams, the young family moved to Alamogordo, where they lived on the outskirts. However, even at a young age, Support and his wife knew that something was wrong with their daughter's mental state.
At school, she reportedly had an aurora of danger. Her drawings, either of the RED team or of their weapons, made other students, and even the teachers, nervous around her. Her stories would involve her father's team thrashing BLU or Gray Mann's robots. Support and his wife put it down to her exposure to Team Fortress Industries. Quite often, she would accidentally frighten her peers, and would end up outside the principal's office, an amiable fellow who was fast becoming friends with Aine's parents due to their frequent meetings.
One afternoon, Aine went home, and found her father talking with the archetype-hurting Scottish demolitions expert. She could hear them as she went to the living room.
"Tavish, I still remember the time that we found you in a ditch with Engineer's shotgun." said Support, chuckling.
"What time, Turlough?" asked Demoman.
"Good point. Still, those were the good times, eh?"
Aine entered the room. She went over to her father, and hugged his legs, as was usual for her. She greeted both her father and Demoman, referring to the latter as "Uncle Demo". When his daughter went upstairs to draw pictures in peace, Support continued talking to Demoman.
"Okay Tavish, Aine's out of the way. Why have you come here?"
A/N Support's name, Turlough, comes from an Irish name meaning "one who aids or assists", which is rather fitting with his former RED occupation. Please rate and review.
