"Captain Redbeard"

It was common to find a cartoon of sorts playing on the television in the Magnussen household. As opposed to popular opinion the majority of the Magnussen households were children at heart, of course, it was expected from Genesis due to her still being a child. Of course, as usual, some of the Magnussens did not enjoy cartoons- especially Charles. As the high pitch cackle of Spongebob Squarepants rang through the house he rested his elbows on his desk and dropped his head into his hand.

He was trying to focus on filing every case he had accumulated over the past week so he could send it off to the main headquarters in central London. Instead, he was sat listening to a cartoon sponge with a voice he had never even considered was humanly possible to create. Sighing and pushing his seat back he exits his office and makes the trudge across the width of the house. It was unbelievable, he thought, the volume the television was on. Stepping into the lounge he glances around the room. Holly sat with a magazine in her lap on the end of the couch her feet tucked underneath her, fluffy socks brushing her bare legs. He acknowledged her denim shorts with a small grin before trailing his eyes to David and Trinity sat crossed-legged side by side watching the television screen intently. He looks to the corner of the room to see Genesis curled in the armchair twirling a wooden sword around more focused on watching that than the screen.

As the doorbell rings, he collects the discarded remote from the floor and presses the mute button. Ignoring the displeased cries from the two teenagers he approaches the door and swings it open. He was shocked- none the less- to find two boys standing on a porch wielding wooden swords, one with a pirates hat and another with a fake leather eye patch; they aim their swords up at him and the boy with a patch smirks.

"I, Captain Redbeard, am here to collect the Lady Bluepatch!" Charles quirks a smile and glances over his shoulder as he hears a thud coming from the lounge and sees Genesis stumbling from the room followed by three loud laughs. Frowning back at them and rubbing the small of her back, Genesis approaches them.

"Really, VT? He doesn't even know you." Squeezing her father's hand slightly before pulling away from him she motions to Victor Trevor, "Daddy, this is Victor Trevor," he flips his patch up and offers a goofy grin, "and Sherlock." Sherlock looks up nervously from under his frayed hat at the man. Charles purses his lips in a tight smile at the boys and nods his head.

"Very well, have fun." Smiling she raises her sword almost hitting him in the face.

"Arrre ya ready kids?" Sherlock laughs as she runs off.

"Aye aye, Captain!" He yells and runs after her. Victor Trevor stutters and looks up at Charles one last time before taking off after them.

"Hey! I'm the Captain!"
