Jack is the tall one, mouse is the short one. Heh. ^^

Jacks POV : I woke up in a bed next to... Felecia and mouse? Huh? Well... Felecia did say to get her food if I slept with her..

I started to get dressed, but my fingers were a bit numb, and I fumbled with my brace. Fuck it. I was fecking done with this boob concealing wrap. I. Was. Done.

I tossed it down, let my hair down, and then walked out of the room to find food.

I'm in the sanctum?? Ooh, that's mouses room. Ok. I went into the kitchen. They were already cooking, but they ignored me, half naked or not.

I grabbed a pan, six eggs, and a chunk of bacon, then a few pancakes. I scrambled the eggs, putting cheese on half, and the bacon in the pan as well.

As soon as it was all cooked, I just took three forks and the pan to the room. It cooled off fast, but the food was hot.

I walked in, and tapped the forks against the side of the pan. Mouse had a gun pointed at me before the second tap. I stopped, then she sniffed the air, and placed the gun under her pillow.

I walked over and sat in the middle of the bed, and handed mouse a fork, as well as Felecia, who'd woken much less dramatically.

I started eating. The cheesy eggs were originally for me, but Felecia got a taste of them and soon we were playing Rock Paper Scissors for the last bite.

Then mouse stole the last bite, saying "slowpokes." I picked up a pancake, and sat eating that.

We finished the pan of food, so I set it on the bedside table with the forks.

"This is the first time I've seen you with your chest unbound, Jack, well, without sex being a prerequisite." Mouse said.

"Yeah, it was too much work while I was sleepy. and I figure I'll dress the same from now on, just without the wrap. I'll get a sports bra, I guess."

"For these glorious pieces of art!? No you'll need your wrap again. Sorry Hun, but the way you and mouse jump around?

I say wrap while you practice, and outside unless you're going to a party, and unless you're at sanctum and safe." Felecia spoke up.

"Sigh. You're right, of course. Gr." I said.

"It's good that you're confident enough to walk around like that now, though. Very good." Mouse said.

"Mm" I leaned over and kissed her. Then I noticed Felecia look at my lips and sigh, so I leaned over and pecked her lips too.

She was surprised, but returned the favor. Then Alice walked in. "Really? You didn't save any food for me!? I'm hurt."

"No you're not, you've eaten." Mouse said from her spot up against my back, biting and licking my neck. Felecia was under me somehow.

I leaned down and kissed my way down her very exposed cleavage. "A kimono huh?"

"Seemed appropriate." Her response was weak.

"Mm" I moved the shoulders off, and then Alice said, "you're gonna be late to hatters class again, Jack."

"I don't care."

Alice came over and kissed mouse. "Well then we'll just play hooky huh?"

(Very smexy scene, coming soon to restricted chap.)

I lay in bed, naked, surrounded by other naked women. "How did I get so lucky? Girls used to hate me, now they're all over me. Confusing."

"Your body is one very good point to make." Alice said.

"You're very tall and masculine." Mouse said.

"I like your sass, or ass, whichever." Said Felicia.

"Heh. Ok. I get it. I'm each of your ideal woman, but none of theirs?"

"Exactly." Mouse said.

"Hmm."

Then hatter kicked the door open, saw the four naked women, and turned around. "Sorry, the cooks told me Jack was here, I'll be going now."

"I'm right here, hatter." I said, grinning, sitting up, my breasts in full display. He kept his gave on my face, something I was thankful for, and then growled.

"You've been late twice, and skipped once."

"Would you believe I was coerced by three sexy women into their bed after I made them breakfast?"

"... Seeing this? How could I not believe you. But no excuses. You'll stay double tomorrow. And do today's lesson as well."

"Okie dokie hatter. You can stop awkwardly looking anywhere but at me now."

"Thanks. May I ask why the secrecy? We don't care if you're a girl."

"I'm male, mentally, female physically. I'm not female socially, and I'm not screwing you, so I saw no reason to correct rabbit when he called me a guy. I've been posing as a guy for years."

"Oh. So it's nothing against us, that's just how you've always done this?"

"Yep."

He looked relieved. "Good. You're still in trouble." He turned and started to leave.

"Hatter?"

"I won't tell anyone, but if I'm asked I won't lie, I'll say I'm not allowed to say."

"That's what I wanted to say, if you're asked, feel free to explain to the best of your ability, but not until then, and only to our trusted people yeah?"

"Got it." He left, closing the door.

I collapsed into mouses chest, cuddling. "Gonna be a long day tomorrow." I sighed.

"Heh, we'll keep you busy till then yeah?" Said Felecia.

"Round two is it?"

"Oui, Monsieur."

"Exuse moi? Is this a challenge?! I accept."

It was sunset when I rolled off the bed, smacking several asses as I did so. It was fun, that fleshy 'whack'.

I got hit back. Hard. Mouse was trying to read, Felecia was doing her nails, an Alice was playing with her phone.

We had just been sitting, naked, talking or doing other things like I just mentioned. "Not that I don't like companionably sitting around naked, I need to go race. Felecia? You going?"

"Yep. Gimme a sec." She finished her last nail while I was dressing, making sure the wrap was secured properly.

"All right, let's go. I need to stop by my house to change, an ill meet you there ok?"

"All right. Alice?"

"I don't race much anymore. Me, Caine, and Felicia are basically legends. No one races us anymore except rookies from out of town."

"I see. Ok. Actually? I need to put a NOS intake system into my car, I didn't even know they existed until mouse beat me with one."

"Ah, we can do that! I really don't feel like leaving just yet. Maybe at dawn."

We all dressed reasonably, tank tops and jeans, and I slipped a knot on the wrap, making it about as tight as a regular bra.

"I'll never be able to look at that and not want you." Mouse said almost in unison with Felecia.

"Thanks, gals, but we've got work to do."

We got my car from the garage, the parts from Cheshire, and Felecia apparently was a lot more down and dirty than she looked.

"Thanks."

"The sarcasm is strong in this one." I said, then went back to work.

We got it rigged correctly within a few hours. Four very smart women working in a car? Shit gets done.

"You seriously think out loud a lot." Alice said.

"I don't think anything I wouldn't say, so it's fine." I replied.

"Fair enough. start her up." I turned the key. It roared.

"I'm still confused over what you did to this thing. It's a beast." Alice said.

"She removed the speed governor, and added magnetic suspension and braking pads, and then the Steering columns sensitivity was raised." Fly said from behind me, and they jumped.

I grinned. "Hey, don't spill my secrets so easy!? How'd you feel if I told everyone how you tweaked that super car?" I said.

"Hmm. I wouldn't care. It was weak."

"Ok what about your beast."

"I might be mi-miffed."

"See?"

"Ok, I understand."

"Can you tell me if we did this right? I don't wanna hit the NOS and go boom, you know?"

"It's correct, but not efficient. You see, this wire here is placed a centimeter away as another speed governor, limiting power output. There's lots of these little tricks in any car."

"Ok, I'll make you a deal. Teach me where they are and help me with this car being as efficient as possible, and I'll owe you a favor, short of murder."

"I just want food. And maybe some of that mead stuff."

"Ok, a trip to the pub it is. Now. The car."

---

We spent hours, well into the day, working on my car. It was a thing of beauty, my mind. I remembered everything he did, and learned it, immediately.

Eventually, it was done. He said there was nothing else to be done, and that we'd made a beast again.

I drove out to the track with him in the passenger seat. The sanctum is under a giant race track, which surprised me but made sense.

"Open her up." He said. I hit the gas, and waited for the boom, but I wasn't expecting the one I got.

We hit 100 miles an hour, in first gear. I shifted into second, and reached 175, then third, and 250.

"Woo!!!" I screamed. I slowed to a crawl near the entrance, then drove to the gas station. I filled up the tank, then went to the parking lot outside the alley.

I got out, and so did he. We went into the pub, and ordered burgers and a mug of mead and a soda.

"I'm drinking soda, that stuff messes me up too quick." I said. He chuckled.

"So I've seen."

"Ohoh, a joker eh? I'm gonna call you joker Kay? Better than fly."

"Joker... I like it." He said.

"Good, cause you're stuck with it till you earn a new one." I did my best Cheshire impression.

"No no, it's more 'Good, cause you're stuck with it till you earn a ne-" His was so much better than mine.

Then the real one spoke from behind us. Fuck. "No no, don't stop on my account, joker. I quite like this show, it's amusing.

Really. No sarcasm. I heard you guys used the track? Who's your friend joker?"

"It's Jack?"

"But jacks a-"

I spoke. "No, it's me, Cheshire. I just loosened a knot on my corset today so I could work on the car with joker."

"Well this is awkward."

"Not unless you make it awkward. Joker knew I was a girl as soon as he saw me, but he continued treating me as a boy because I wanted him and everyone else to do the same."

"Oh... Ok. Done deal. Why'd you use the track?"

"We made my car a beast, and we wanted to test it. I didn't know we needed permission, is it restricted or is this idle curiosity?"

"Hmm. Idle curiosity. I wanted to make sure it wasn't a joy ride. And I like your hair down, Jack."

"All right. Thanks? I promised joker a meal in return for a little help."

"I'm here with Stone, doll, and Pip actually." I looked at the big table. There they were. "Why didn't you sit up there?"

"Didn't know if I was allowed without Caine here."

"Ah, your seats open up there permanently, Hun. Let's -"

"And I wanted to eat with joker, not joker and everyone else."

"Ah. Ok. Have fun."

He left, and the burgers arrived. "Mm, greasy bar food, been a while, I missed it."

"You ate a lot of bar food when you were younger?" Joker asked.

"Two little brothers, and a mother who didn't care enough to buy food other than chips and soda.

There was a nice bartender lady who let us wash dishes for food. Made it the best choice. What's your story? We all have one."

"Ah. Well then. That's a lot worse than my story. Though yours has a happy ending...

I was a smart kid. At six, I took apart my dads evo and mixed it with a Supercar I'd made from spare parts, but it ran.

My dad was so angry he... Well I went to the hospital. So I scrapped it once I was out.

He put me back into the hospital a lot, and every time, he told me he needed a car.

Then I made my own beast, basically a rocket car, and told him to test drive it, said I'd made it for him.

He drove it, and I'd done something wrong in my haste. It exploded after it hit the sound barrier.

It wasn't on purpose, but no one believed me, even though they couldn't charge me.

So I spent the next twelve years being bullied and the hospital had a bed open for me at all times.

Then five years ago, I ran away. I ran here. I fixed cars at a no-name garage for four years, 10 months.

Cheshire shows up, and asked me a seemingly random series of questions, and asks me if I wanted a job. I said yes, and here I am."

My hand was wrapped around his, and I leaned over and kissed his cheek. "This place is different, Marty. We won't ever hurt you. We're family now right? Not by blood, but by bond.

Sorry about choking you by the way. That was to get you into the tattoo booth without hurting yourself."

"I understood. And thanks. Really. I haven't stuttered at all yet. It's wonderful."

"Heh. Finish eating. We're playing pool next."

"A game of pure physics? You're on!"
