Through the Living Hope

"I'll just be right outside the door, and then I'll come back. Okay?"

He called me friend, he called me brother

"Let me do this for you, captain."

"Worse than this?"

Prologue to my MHA fanfic (SFW) Before U.A. @Clinically insane @Dabi

"I- I'll talk to him for you."

Her face fell and she took Taryn's hand. It's security footage? I don't think he'd be able to do that

"I mean, I have seven older brothers. And out of those, Wilson's in chess club, Dan likes Disney movies, and Jacob won't stand up for himself, and I wasn't going to let anyone give them any [crap] for that, so I had to learn to beat up people bigger than me pretty early on."

"I'd better or whoever did this is gonna get it."

"Oh, please. It was nothing like that. But yeah. I'm sure he's just as lost as I am."

"I was watching a movie with my boyfriend, so I was very confused when I got here."

She pulled up the cam footage from the room. "What'd he yell at you for this time?" "Well er it wasn't uh it was something else." "What was it then?" "Er, something that I don't want to say out loud." She skipped ahead a bit and got to the cafeteria. "It wasn't too bad. Other than the whole being his pet thing." "How even does that work?" "Putting it simply, my grandfather before I was born, made a deal sealing his kin to Destiny as well. And so now, I have to do anything he wants me to do. If I don't... well it's hard to describe. I get this almost pain in my head." "Hmm... That would kinda suck." "More then kinda. He has me doing some very strange things. And my rebellious stage made it worse." "Rebellious stage?" "Like anyone I thought surely I can get out somehow. So I did EVERYTHING, literally anything to get out but that just made the Bond tighter. Now if he wants he can control my body." "Mmm... Wait, WHAT? HE CAN CONTROL YOUR BODY!" "Sometimes. And when he can he really takes advantage of it." "And do what?" "Stuff." Newna stiffened and skipped to where she had the alcohol. "Yaknowfryeir i hate destiny. But ssshhhhhhhh isasecret" "Alright, why do you think that?" "because he's a *idiot*. And has no respecforboundries!" "Such as?" "suchashisstrangeobsessionforcatgirls. Ans im unlucky enough ro have ears snd a tail." Newna's pale face got paler. "Why is he obsessed with cat girls?" "I dunno I'm not a guy. But it storming sucks." "What does he want with you?" "What would you want with a pretty girl that has ears and a tail." "No idea." "Uh well im not saying it out loud! But if i wasnt bound to him it would be illegal... technically either way it is but hes a god so..." Newna shut off the data pad. "Oookay, that's enough of that."

"So why are we here?"

"True enough. I'm sure it gets lonely, though."

"Most of 'em are fine. Except Skott."

"Well to be frank I just showed up here. Plus if I lived somewhere cushy my brothers would probably try to leech off of me."

She shrugged. "I was on reality TV a couple years back."

She smiled and kissed his cheek. "Have fun at work."

"That's fair."

She blinked. "Oh [shoot]."

"That's.. not ideal... "Maybe I can pull up surveillance footage on my datapad?"
