Okay Guys. I feel you judging out there. I know she’s dangerous, and deranged. I know this is likely epic stupidity on my part. But here’s the thing. While I know I am not like, the poster child for emotional stability and a normal life, at least I had My CO for the first two years to teach me, and who raised me like a person. She never had that. She got abused before she even learned to talk. The first time I suddenly raised my arm around her she ducked and cowered like a beaten animal. Don’t get me wrong, she ain’t harmless. She’s just as deadly as I am; and she’s not a coward either. It’s just a PTSD reaction. Lemme put it another way. She’s less than three years old. Imagine a smart, super strong, manipulative, psychotic toddler with claws. She knows weapons, science, all that jazz, but hasn’t a clue about the world, or life, or how to deal with any of it. She talks CONSTANTLY! And not only does she sound like the little red haired chick from brave, but I think her frickin volume is broken, cause she’s so frickin loud! She’ll stop and admire the shape of clouds, and flowers, like she’s seeing the greatest thing ever (which I thought was cool and cute, THE FIRST FIFTY FRICKIN TIMES SHE DID IT! We went to one of those giant bulk stores, so I could get supplies the other day. She jerks her hand outta mine and goes romping off in fascination. I give chase, but lost her in the crowd. I start to panic, sniffing for her scent, and I’m thinking somebody that’s hunting us might have snatched her. So I’m freaking out over this loony girl who previously wanted to murder me in some spectacular fashion (see. Told you I was stupid) I hear this soft whining, like a puppy makes. I follow the sound. I find her huddled on the floor, her back against the shelves, rocking. I run to her and kneel down beside her. She throws her arms around my neck and starts to cry, saying “I got lost!” Took me a bit to calm her down. Once again, don’t misunderstand. She’s got a mean streak, and a vicious tongue too (like yours truly)This same kid is now fiercely protective of me. A guy bumped into me accidently on the street a few days ago. I had to grab her to keep her from taking him apart. She's screaming obscenities at him while I'm trying to drag her away. The guy and I met eyes, and he's totally bewildered. All I could think to say was "Tourette's." So, yeah It's now DEFCON 1 everyday. That's not exhausting at all. So, now I've got this whole frickin genetic mutant middle school road company production of "Of Mice and Men" going on. ( and , no she doesn't want to tend rabbits, and I'm not gonna take her down by the river. But if she starts carrying a dead mouse in her pocket, I'm out like a Vegas Dealer.) The only thing missing is, like, that sad piano theme from that old Incredible Hulk TV show, as we scram outta town to stay ahead of the hunters. But what am I supposed to do? Abandon her? She’d either wind up in a cage or be shot dead. I know it’s insane of me to take her on. I have my own issues. But I can’t just ditch her. I just can’t. Maybe I can teach her enough to get by on her own. I don’t know. But I gotta at least try, ya know? Little sisters.
But enough about me, How are you kids? Oy.

Ms Fit, that big heart of yours will either win her or get you seriously hurt. I knew that heart was there and I am proud of you! Your instincts have always served you well and I trust your judgement. Be safe! If this keeps up I will have to call my lawyer back (see DA).
Aselin - Stop, learn. You wanted to be rescued. You got it. Trust and respect are earned. Steady on, one step at a time.
Love ya both! Wayne Hill (still keeping an eye on you both)

Hi Mr... Hi Wayne! That's really nice of you to say. I'm not so sure about the heart thing. I'm pretty selfish. It's that frickin sense of conscience I got from Tag. There are times I wish he hadn't, ya know? Honestly, I'm not cut out to raise anybody. Heck! I'm still trying to raise myself! She's a handful, I gotta tell ya. We... What? It's That nice guy Mr. Hill.... I know... yes the one who said nice things about you... Hold on! Wayne? She want's to say hi.
Mr. Wayne Sir? I'm so sorry we had words before. Sissy explained things to me. She's right flippin good at it... even if she is an old grouch sometimes. I wont let anyone hurt her Me. Wayne. I'll bloody smash them if they try. She's nice to me mostly. I know I get excited, and it makes her mad sometimes, but she's kind. I never had that before. And now you're bein nice to me, and.. and...
Wayne? Me again. She's crying, but she says thank you. I gotta go calm her down, so... thanks, and we love ya back!

Lovely Ladies! For the record, I like the white hair on both of you. of course I also like you both with purple, green, blue, raven, brown hair. I would be willing to bet that you would both be "drop dead gorgeous" as red heads. Just sayin.... Ms. Fit, yea, you are probably right. I mean you are so selfish that you have taken someone who was out to kill you into your life and that selfish show of compassion and caring is really over the top. Come On! I have known and you have done nothing to disprove the fact that your heart is bigger than you are. I am glad Tag gave you that sense of conscience. Here is a simple fact for you. There is nobody else that can guide Aselin. You are the only one she trusts and cares about. As for being a handful, so were you. You turned out better that anyone expected (yes even you). You also pointed out that alone, Aselin would either end up caged and experimented on forever or dead. You make a daddy proud! I know you may not be ready to be attached to another "mere human" but the offer is there and the paperwork is ready for you to sign, after you read it thoroughly.
Ms. Aselin, Apology accepted. Ms. Fit can be quite persuasive. Yes she can be a grouch. You will be a grouch too. Why, because sooner or later you have to start making quality decisions to grow, learn and be more than the sum of your DNA. These decisions are like a storm inside and yuppers, they can make you grouchy. You are like a kid in a candy store and frankly and Ms Fit will probably pound me for saying this, but I am glad to see it. All the things you were never allowed to experience, you now have the freedom to explore. Experience, learn, grow, also learn from Ms. Fit. Control, caution, and mostly love and compassion. Aselin, I have to be frank with you. This radical change of mind and heart in such a short period of time strikes me as a bit odd. As I said, Trust is earned and takes time. I hope I am just being a bit too protective. You are quite lovely and have more than a bit of a wild streak. I still stand by her against any and all who would try to harm her. I want to be able to say the same thing about you. Make me as proud of you as Ms. Fit does. My hand is open to you and you have a choice. Take it in friendship and love and make me the proud papa of TWO of the most adorable and fetching young ladies known. The alternative is slicing off the hand with your katana mere seconds before you end my life. In the second case, I will be able to go to my reward knowing I tried.
Love you both and proud of you both! Stay safe, sharp, and frosty.
