How Can I Put This (Alice, Jack)

[Shego]

(ooc: July 26th. Morning. Alice/Shego bonding thread. Could throw in Jack if you want too.)

Shego was looking around for the blonde girl. She could be quite curious and asked a lot of questions. She knew some could find that annoying but she didn't. She wanted to know about things and she could respect that. Hearing she wasn't even a teenager yet and that many of the kids were being considered to be fostered or adopted by members so they weren't taken away. She had volunteered to take in Alice. She wasn't sure where the impulse came from. If her brothers were here they'd say she wasn't completely bad as she thought. But she saw some of herself in Alice when she was that young. She sighed and knocked on the door.

"Hey, Alice. Are you free? I need to tell you... No, I mean... Would you like to be adopted? By me?" asked Shego.

She paused not hearing anything wondering if Alice was there or if she was rejecting her offer by her silence.

[Alice Wilder]

(OCC: I'll bring in jack definitely later. I want a little one on one with the girls first but then jack can come in and introduce himself as her adopted dad)

Alice was a bit nervous as the days went by. She had heard rumors of children being under threat to be taken away if not adopted. Due to being terrified to be alone again, she had been hoping a person would adopt her. But it seemed that chance slipped with every passing day. There was one adult though that she really liked but was worried to ask to adopt her. That adult was shego. Shego was the only adult to tolerate her the most. Which was very flattering considering shego had low tolerance for others, but alice was always grateful the adult always was nice to her. Shego was someone she wouldn't mind but didn't think it would be possible.

Alice then listened as her room door was knocked and shego was at the door. Actually asking her for permission to adopt. It felt like a dream come true. Alice pinched herself a bit but then realized she had been silent somewhat. Alice thought to herself Quick. Say yes before she thinks you don't want this. Alice took her own advice and opened the door. With a big smile she replied "Really? You'd like to adopt me?" Alice beamed brightly "Oh that'd be so wonderful!" She hugged shego in happiness "Thank you!" She then pulled back replying "Oh dear I'm sorry. I probably should've asked you first!" She then replied nervously "You really don't mind if you'd adopt me? That'd be so nice but are you sure?"

[Shego]

Shego smiled as the other spoke.

"Yes, I would. I know what it's like to be alone. I had several brothers but being the only girl in my family we didn't always get along. And now we're not even in the same world." replied Shego.

She nodded.

"Of course. I've heard about you. You're a survivor. You traveled to a strange land, made some friends, and defeated a tyrant queen and her pack of card soldiers. If it was up to you'd be ruling Wonderland for defeating her." said Shego.
