Ciara slowly came out from behind Eric and slowly approached Hank. "...You're like a giant."

Hank chuckled, "that I am, but I'm the gentlest giant you'll ever meet. What's your name little girl?" he asked as he knelt to her level.

"Like a B.F.G." She said before looking down shyly, "I'm-" The knobs on the tap burst off the tap as the water pressure forced them off, sending them into the ceiling. "-Ciara. I didn't do it!" She covered her head and knelt close to the ground as if expecting to be yelled at.

"woah!" Eric exclaimed, quickly summoning the metal back in place and cutting off the water.

"Wow Ciara" Hank blinked before reaching out to gently touch Ciara's shoulder, "That's a very beautiful name" he smiled softly, "and a very special gift you have there"

She looked sad, "It's broken. But thank you for saying." She looked at him for a moment before quickly walking up beside him and trying to jump up on his back but she was much too small to reach.

Meanwhile, the behind the cut off value, a rumbling began to shake the pipes.

Hank helped her up on his back, "Would thine princess like a ride around the castle?" he offered cheerily while Eric fought with the pipes.

She made a small eep noise when he helped her up. A small smile appeared on her face as she climbed a bit further up his back. "If thine Giant wouldn't mind." She said softly.

The pipes continued to raddle and shake until they simply stopped, and the ones above their heads burst, leaking quickly through the ceiling and dripping down on them like rain.

Ciara looked up and blinked, "Does your kitchen usually have rain?"

"uh, not usually, no" Hank replied as he looked up.

Eric sighed and gazed at the falling water, "Go ahead Hank... I'll figure this one out"

"Tour! Tour Giant!" She cheered as the water stopped falling and merely flowed in the air, much like water in space.

"Alrighty then, hold on tight" Hank grinned and crouched down before taking off on all fours to show her around the mansion.

Eric was left scratching his head as to how to fix this. He summoned several pots to move around and tried collecting all the water.

Ciara giggled lightly, holding on tightly. "Woaaaahhhhh!" She yelled, as the hallways went zooming by them.

"To your left is the living room-and the library to the right-there's the backyard and here's Charles' office. Up here are a bunch of guest rooms-bathrooms and heeerrreee" he skidded to a stop and opened the door in front of them, "is your room"

Ciara leaned back, looking in awe at the library but was quickly moved on to other places.

Upon reaching their destination, she slid off of his back and approached the door. She looked back at him and then pushed the door open and peered inside..

It was a pretty basic room, for a mansion anyway. Basically that meant a large double bed, plenty of open space, a nice dresser and desk and a lovely view out some large windows.

But to a small 4 year old girl, it was like a magical realm had been revived. She rushed forward, looking around the whole room. Under the bed, up on the desk, around the chair, face up against the window.

She paused and turned around, "...You haven't locked the door?"

Hank tilted his head to the side, "Now why would I do that?"

"You mean you're not going to keep me locked in?" She asked softly, a little exicitment building in her voice.

"Never!" Hank exclaimed, "I would prefer that you stay on the property but you can go wherever you please. Just let one of us know where you are so you don't get lost, okay?"

Ciara's eyes opened widen with excitement. She ran over and bear hugged Hank. "Ciara like Hankie." She said as happy as can be.

Hank blushed a little bit, "uh, thanks. I like you to Ciara"

She smiled widely as gravity gave way and the two of them began to float, only for a moment before a large crash of water pipes could be heard from down stairs.

"AAAAHHHHHHH" Eric's screams could be heard downstairs as he was swept up in the hallway current.

Hank stared at ciara with fascination, "my, you are gifted aren't you?" he smiled, "I must ask, do you think you would be okay if I gave you a little examination? I promise it won't hurt, and it will only take a few minutes"

Ciara got nervous, taking a tiny step back, "That's what they say...then they they they...." She spaced out for a few seconds before focusing on the situation.

"...no lab." She wraps her arms around his large arm. "..just no lab."

"I'm nothing like those people" Hank promised, "If you don't want me to do something, all you have to say is 'no' and I won't do it. I promise, I'm only here to look out for you" he stroked her hair gently.

His words... they sounded so familiar. "Daddy..." She said softly, closing her eyes. Her father would say such things... before before...

The sound of rain could be heard on the roof above. At first it was just a little pitter patter but after a moment, it was a heavy down pour. It was every rain cloud was gathering above the mansion being drawn in by Ciara's special gift.

"Where's Daddy?" She asked looking up with saddness.
