TM #386 - Do you have children? If not, do you want them one day?

[nerdherdchuck]

[Locked to those who know of his secret life.]

I don't have any children now. I do wonder what it would be like to have them someday though. But, the spy life...I've seen what's done to my family. Both my parents were part of it and both of them were not part of the lives for my sister and I for several years.

Because of the spy life, I honestly thought they abandoned us only to find out, that wasn't quite true. Especially my mom. My mom even had to lie to me to keep her cover in tact when we found her.

So what happens if Sarah and I have kids? Would we be able to be with them? Would missions call us away for months or years on end? I don't know. Plus, there's always the risk that they would be in danger. What would we have to pretend to keep covers and keep them safe?

I guess the short answer is 'I don't know.' It's a decision with a lot to think about, that's for sure.

I used to hate to dance.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

I don't mind dancing now. Except for...dancing with spies that are trying to kill me.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I can understand why that would not be fun. Dancing is about fun, not killing people.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yes, and the Tango should not be a matter of life and death!

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Anoooo no.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Of course, that was one of my first missions...

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I would assume that. Unless you made her very angry, I cannot see Sarah doing that to you.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Actually, I was dancing with an arms dealer, La Ciudad. And I was taught the tango by Captain Awesome...only...he taught me the girl's part...

*For a second, Hiro manages to keep his face straight, but then he snickers.* It would not do you well to know the woman's part of such a dance.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

I thought I told you that story. Guess not.

But...it was, um...embarrassing to say the least. Cuz you're right, that's the type of dance where you need to know the guy's part.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Tango is a very passionate dance, neh?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Oh, it definitely is.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, killing is often a passionate thing as well.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

This is why I tranq darts.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

That is wise.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

I think so. Casey is more the type for the real guns.

ooc: Oops, forgot the word 'use' up there!

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Hopefully he does not try to force you to use them?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Not really. Besides, he's got some guns that are too heavy for me to lift.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Really, they are that heavy? Or are these the really, really big guns? Like the ones you put rockets in?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Really, really big guns. Some are just big guns with lots of bullets.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

To tell you the truth, I have never handled a real gun.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

That's not a bad thing, Hiro. Some people just seem to be more, um, comfortable with them, I guess.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I feel very uncomfortable, even knowing they are around.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they can be unnerving...

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

I am glad that I do not need one. And I do not feel the need to learn how to use them.
