"Pleasure." Ian remarked, smiling at Kristin before looking around. He passed her, before flipping out a lighter and lighting a cigarette. He brought the small flaming stick to his mouth before puffing out smoke.

After The shower Kat came out of the bahroom with a towel drapped around her chest. She held the towel with one hand and struggled with her hair with the free hand. She walked into the living room and looked around, seeing Ian was still there. Kat smiled, happy to see him then turned to her room. Once in her room she dropped her towel and started dressing in her Sunshine Uniform.

Ian took another long drag of his smoke, and sighed.
"Nice place." He commented to no one in particular, though he sat in Kat's room.

Kat didn't mind that Ian saw her naked, he'd seen her skin plenty times before. Though she was a little self consouse of the deep purple bruises that painted her arms legs and stomach, holdfuly Ian wouldn't notice. Once dressed Kat walked over to Ian and sat on his lap. sHe reached in his pocket and pulled out a ciggaret. She reached in his other pocket caually,pulled out a lighter and lit up. The smoke scratched her throat as it went down, she turned her head and puffed out some smoke. She looked at him, took his cigaret out of his mouth then kissed him.
"I missed you Ian" Kat claimed, giving him his cigaret and taking another drag.

Ian smirked when she sat on his lap, and gently pried the cigar from her mouth.
"Too young~" He noted, kissing her as he pressed the lit cigarette into her hand as he'd done with Arthur. Ian stood, before turning to her. "Throw that away for me?"

Kat yelped at the pain of a cigarett in her hand and grabbed the unlit end. She rubbed her hand and looked at Ian and felt her stomach twist. That really hurt her. She looked at her scorched palm and blinked back some tears and nodded. Kat walked to the kitchen and doused the burn with water and tosses the still smoldering cigarett in the trash. Kristin walked ove to Kat.
"I heard a yelp, you okay?" she asked.
"I'm fine, I just tripped" Kat lied, tossing her cigarett in the sink also. Why had Ian done that? He'd never done that before...

Ian followed Kat into the kitchen and watched her douse the cigar out.
"Come on I'll drive you to work.." He said, opening the door, and holding it open for Kat to come with him.

Arthur got home and walked into the house to find Alfred sulking on the couch. Riley had left him a note that she'd be out at the store.
"Hey, whats wrong?" Arthur asked sitting next to his friend. Alfred shrugged.
"You know..She just..left me for Ian. Ian Iggy!" He cried, making Arthur pull him into a tight hug.

Kat fallowed numbly, her hands shaking. Kat wanted another cigarett to calm her nerves. She got in Ian's car and shivered, still confused in why he burned her. He said he'd never hurt her again, he promised. As the car sped down the street Kat started feeling sick to her stomach. She examined her burn a little, a perfect circle was left on her palm. Was he branding her or something? Whatever it was, Kat didn't like it one bit.

"Awfully quiet," Ian commented, turning down the street nearing the childcare place.

Kat examined her hand a bit more.
"Why'd you burn my hand?" she askeD without warning

Ian shrugged.
"Just a habit. Arthur never had a problem with it." He said, slowing as he neared the large center.
"Do you allow visitors?" Ian asked, obviously not wanting to leave her side.

Kat nodded "Yeah, just don't smoke around the kids and you should be fine" Kat said. A habit? That was comforting that Ian burned people as a habit.

Ian scoffed, stopping the car and getting out.
"Please, i know better than that." He huffed.

Kat shrugged and got out of the car also. She walked to the frot entrance of the care center, pulling Ian in catiously. Her boss gave Ian a once over and looked to Kat for an explanation. She ducked her head at him and gave her best smile.
"Fredrick, this is Ian, he's gonna chill with me today whole I watch the big kid room" She said easily. Fredrick mulled this over in his mind then gave a slight not. She then pulled Ian alongntona large class room environment. As she entered the room a novo whizzed past her head and a 6th grade boy tackled her. She yelped and fell to the floor. The 11 year old chuckled and pretended to tie her arms with imaginary rope.
"We've captured Kat!" he gave a mock indin battle cry and sAcmpered off of Kat.

Kat got up and brushed off her jeans "Are you guys playing cowboys and Indians all ready?!" Kat said stoking out her lower lip. Everyone in the room went silent, and Kat lifted her fist.
"Well? Get in your groups! Go! Teams! Come on!" Kat hollard andthentension metled Ito cheerful chatter. Out of the corner of her eye Kat saw her co-counsaler partenr, Whitney, Boyce over to her.
"You missed the star of the game, the kids were pissed" Whitney chimed, elbowing Kat in the rips and nodding towards Ian.
"New flavor of the week?" Whitney asked. Kat usually drug her lovers to her work every now and again.
Kat rolled her eyes at Whitney and dodged and flying Lego.
"Ian this is Whitney" Kat said, stepping aside so they could meet.

Ian stiffened athe sight of kids, he hated them, with a passion. He nodded to Whitney and took a seat, his hand going to his pocket to get put a cigarette, until seeing a kid approach him, by the looks of about 13. She eyed him carefully, before reaching out her hand and grinning - obviously attracted o Ian.
"Hey. My name's Leah. What's yer name?" Leah questioned him, her eyes roaming his body. Ian smirked slightly, gripping her hand and giving it a firm shake.
"Ian. Pleaseure to meet you, Leah..that's a beautiful name." Ian purred.
