X-Men: Satisfy Your Little One's Needs
 

Dunfee, Illinois isn't known for all that much in the grand scheme of things. It was your average small little town other than the nuclear power plant in town. About the only thing that it really was known for was being the birthplace of Dr. Henry McCoy aka Beast of the X-Men. In fact his parents still live in town on the family farm. Edna McCoy used to be a teacher but was a retired homemaker and Norton McCoy was a farmer.

Recently though a new store opened in Dunfee, Illinois. A store that caters to the needs of children with everything their parents needed to care for them. Despite the fact the store didn't sell anything that Edna needed she couldn't help but check it out shortly after it opened. It really did have almost everything that parents could need. And before long Edna found herself helping people in the store with what they needed.

Eventually this led to Edna being offered a job... where she could offer her advice and earn a nice paycheck for it. She also had a nice employee discount that so far eventually was going to waste since her own boy was an adult. So while part of her was satisfied with helping others another part of her wasn't satisfied not having a little one to care for. Though the store did carry everything one needed.

Edna currently was visiting the store on her off day as is her usual foray temped to buy things for her unofficial grandbaby Shogo but she hasn't yet knowing she doesn't half to and Hank would likely not be a fan of it given how it seems like her baby boy who has grown up seemed to harbor regrets over how fast he had grown not that she can prove it ..but she had suspected it for awhile now given her back and forth chats with Storm and Jubilee over the phone and in letters .

Though as is she is unaware or forgot Hank is meant to come to town today... But what caught her attention also was the recent expanation to the store she was well aware of being put in for teens needs given its become a more known thing on teens needing padding at night and mutants more regularly when there abilitys awaken needing padding atleast for a little while and gently sighed daydreaming abit on Hanks state of being, before she went back to cooing at the little ones in the store and even gently playing with them as the parents shop as she is after all a trusted grandmother figure in the town even if she is known as the grandmother to feed and/or host most of the Xavier student body during times when students needed loving badly . Its not like this town is that bigoted more curious then anything as the ones who are bigoted tend to stick to themselves or get run out of town by other none bigoted members of the town.

In fact, the grapevine had gotten back to Beast about his Mother's new job. Hank was thankful he still had some friends in town that were eager gossips. So deciding to drop into town on what was supposed to be Edna's day off... Hank was a bit cranky to find out she was spending her free time at the store also. A bit worried that Edna seemed to be obsessed with spending time at the store Hank drove into town.

It wasn't hard to find the store... given it stood out like a sore thumb. The pastel colors and childish design of the shop obvious to the nature of the business. Hank blushed at the giant blue teddy bear in diapers on the shop's sign... imagining himself as that as he pulled his van up into the parking space. Hank blinked a couple times as he thought the teddy bear on the sign looked like him for a minute.

While Hank was wearing his trademark X-Speedo, he didn't want someone in the shop thinking he was like some child running around in his underpants or even more embarrassing check him... which has happened before. So they were under a pair of simple black cargo shorts and an 'Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters' hoodie. Hank climbed out of the van and headed in the front door to the shop.

Edna unknown to her boys negative views on her desire to spend around the little ones in the store even on her off days being a grandmotherly type... True she could just have worked at a daycare...but given her self appointed role of mother and grandmother aswell as a open home to those mutants that can't return to home...Meant she couldn't regularly work at a daycare... At the very least here she can spend time with little ones and not be a lynch pin in the business like if she was a daycare worker. Though unknown to anyone is how Ednas desires and wishs aswell as thoughts was causing this store to add to its offerings over the course of her working at it.

Edna currently was bouncing a little one on her hip one of the local rather young children said child enjoying themselves and Edna laughing along with the child


Though as Hank Entered he might miss the bears eyes following him or even pass it off as his imagination though a lot of the toys and other things in the store was doing it too noticing his cranky and jealousness showing … There was even a toy that seemed to wave its finger at Hank over the matter at hank in his head. Add to that the facts of his pasts oddness with X-speedo's was causing the building to prep a move to please Edna who has brought so many into it ever sense she started working here

Beast didn't like the idea of his Mother working at her age. Not that she was incredibly old or anything... just that he felt she should be enjoying her life. Though Hank also had concerns that the family was having financial troubles and didn't want to tell him about them. Hank was wealthy enough that his parents wouldn't have to want for anything. But Hank was unaware that the 'Want' Edna was satisfying had nothing to do with money. Just wanting someone to care for even if it wasn't hers.

Beast heard the sound of his Mother's laughter as he walked into the shop. As well as the children that seemed to love the attention from her. A little flare of jealousy welling up from deep in Hank's mind. That was 'His Mommy', not theirs. So Hank missed the fact the bear and toys seemed to be watching him. Instead he made his way up to his Mom and crossed his arms trying to look frustrated but came off looking more like a pouting child. "Mom... what are you doing here?" Hank questioned her.

Edna was startled from her own sating of her desire,her want,her need to care for little ones from Hank talking as she hadn't expected her boy to have came into the store. She honestly felt like telling him it was none of her sons business but she knows what Hank would likily take from it as meaning one thing or another negative like hurting for money when that couldn't be further from the truth … They may have at times tight money situations do to when taking in several mutants especially when the school gets disbanded at different times... But its never them hurting just situational cases that never go too far

''Playing with the little ones...Isn't it obvious ?''Edna questioned much like Hank would when stating a fact'' If you mean on my off day ? I have my reasons ones you wouldn't fully understand as you aren't a woman'' Edna was honest as males don't fully understand baby craziness woman get nor the desire for grandbabys '' Or my job here ?'' Edna sighed she was aware word would get back to Hank sometime but she didn't think Hank would act like a jealous pouting child over her want showing nor be worried about their money situation ''I was originally hanging out around here helping mothers and fathers so often I was offered a job so I took it... After all I can still help just the same but get paid for it too then''

Though the stray thought of telling him it wasn't any of his business included taking him over her knee and teaching him not to question his parents. Beast might not be causing so many problems if he'd have gotten a few spankings when he needed them. But then he was always so mature most of the time due to his increased intellect. In fact, while Edna missed out on having more time with her child... Hank missed out on having more time as a child. Not that he'd admit as such to anyone about his feelings.

Hank sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose as he looked his Mom over. "If you're having financial problems that you need to work... you should have just came to me. You know there's nothing I won't do for you." Hank offered as he glanced to the children that seemed to love his Mom almost as much as he did. "Both concern me. Though given it's your day off you should be relaxing at home." The passionate discussion flaring between them empowering the shop even more in what it could do.

''Young man '' Edna started setting the child she had to the side and motioned to her lap''Assume the position before I make you and then spank you for questioning your mother.'' Edna was partially surprised at how easy that came out of her lips but Hank has questioned her , Norton and her own mother so much more and more each year Edna has become fed up with Hank questioning those he shouldn't aswell as his insistence they shouldn't need to work.

''And we aren't hurting for money as I said the workers here offered your mother a job as she was helping a lot when she hadn't needed to...The money I am mostly saving for a emergency before you ask '' Edna added not wanting Hank to worry but its 100 percent the truth. Though unnoticed do to Hanks attire he started to physically regress abit .. Starting with his muscle tone

Beast offered a double take to Edna... not only shocked at her calling him 'Young Man' but also motioning for him to lay across her lap for a spanking. Hank's large hands went to the seat of his pants as if out of fear that she really might do it. The shop seemed to like this new attitude in Edna in dealing with her son. And Hank with the help of the children who loved Edna so much was soon over her lap. Hank not even aware exactly how that happened. "Mommy... I'm a grown man! You can't...!"

Hank felt a bit lighter across her lap than he should have. He was normally such a big muscular fellow but oddly enough that seemed to be growing less prominent. His cargo shorts and hoodie becoming more baggy on his frame now that things were progressing. Edna might even sense that the store was encouraging her... rewarding her in fact, for all the good work she'd done. That it knew what she wanted most of all and what Hank needed most at all. She just needed to approve.

Edna could swear the store was doing something and she wouldn't be that surprised as lets face it Edna has dealt with all kinds of things over the years that a shop having sentience and power over reality to a degree isn't something that would phase her if its true'' On the contrary I can and will as you have been questioning and second guessing your parents and grandma for far too long even treating us like we are helpless at times'' With that statement she started to spank the noticeably light Hank and Ednas mind had a image of possibly needing to diaper Hank up given how baggy his clothes have gotten … Besides he kinda deserves that after all the times he has treated her,Norton and Grandma McCoy more like helpless children then adults

Not that she could blame Hank if he wished to pamper his family but what he has been doing has been less pampering and more fussing like he was a parent disapproving of a childs actions or independent streak... She doesn't mind him worrying about the money side of things as that she fully understands as its only right a child desires to care for their parents and the like though
