When kit said their kinda sister, kinda cousin that they grew up with, who was the kid of Harley and Ivy was maybe gonna come over, Jesse did not expect her to come in through the window 5 minutes later.
Kit was delighted. Absolutely, positively delighted. They’d told Jesse about Cherry before, of course, but Jesse had never actually met the other ‘Siren kid’ and Kit was excited.
Cherry did not expect to meet their sorta sibling-cousin-best friend’s partner while covered in a mix of blood, glitter, and hair dye and missing a shoe. But honestly, life is weird. She ushers the hyenas into the house, before crawling through the window after them, baseball bat and bag full of stolen science stuff in tow.
“Howdy!” they grin. “Sorry ‘bout all the uh—” she gestured to herself. “—all this, but I’m also sorta statin’ here ‘til popsicle man ain’t on my ass,” they shrug the bag off their shoulder; and it makes a loud thunk of the hardwood.
“Please tell my there is a baseball bat or a plant or a hammer in that bag and not a what I think it is.” Kit said to Cherry as Jesse’s eyes went wide at the sight of the hyena’s. The hyenas that were headed straight for the baby having play time on the baby play mat spread out across the living room floor.
“Kit” Jesse said slowly and nervously. “There are hyenas circling our baby.”
“Don’t worry, Bud and Lou are great with baby’s. Other small animals not so much, but Cherry and I survived them. See look.”
Bud had curled up on the floor watching the baby protectively while Lou had layed down next to the play mat with his head on his paws and was watching the baby sweetly.
Kit bet if she left them long enough Lou would snuggle right up with Birdie.
“And Jesse this is Cherry. Cherry, Jesse.”
“…it tooootally ain’t a buncha stolen bombs,” they say slowly, grinning awkwardly. Cherry sets her baseball bat down against the wall. Her neon skirt is partially frozen from their run-in with Freeze, and they hurry to remove it, revealing a pair of equally colorful shorts under it.
They wave at Jesse excitedly. “Howdy! Cherry Ivy-Quinn, nice to meetcha!” She grins, petting the hyenas and waving at the baby on the floor playfully.
“This explains so much.” Jesse murmers while pinching the bridge of her nose and shaking her head. Sihhinv she speaks and Kit gets the sense this won’t be good. “Hello, Cherry. Kit, could, um, could I talk to you for a moment-” she shoots a glance at Cherry, who Kit also looks at. Still the same old Cherry. “-alone.”
“Sure. Gimme a sec.” Kit picked up Birdie and held the kid in their arms. “Cherry. I Gotta talk to Jess real quick. Please get the bombs out of my apartment without blowing anything up while I’m doing that.”
Then Kit followed Jesse to their room.
“WHAT THE HELL KIT!?!?” Jesse whisper-yelled once the door was closed.
“Freeze is after her, I was gonn talk to you but she showed up so quick-”
“Not that.” Jesse put her hands on Kits shoulders and took a deep breathe. Kit held back the anxiety that this wouldturn into a fight. They’d been workingso hard and not fighting as much recently, but it was still a worry for Kit.
“Kit, I love how protective and family oriented you are, but what I’m scared of is your…I’m not sure how you’re related, but I don’t want her putting Birdie at risk. And the hyena’s being around my baby are really testing me right now.”
Kit let out a breath they didn’t know they were holding. “Yeah thats fair…So Cherry can stay?”
“Hell yeah. It’s Mr. Freeze she’s hiding from. Of course she can stay…with ground Rules, of Course.”
“You and your rules.” Kit chuckled fondly, kissing their girlfriends cheek. “You suck at following rules just as bad as I do babe.”
Kit and Jesse. Smiled at one another and left the room.
“I’m serious though, Kit. The bombs and the Hyena’s are really putting me on edge.”
