' Good! I know I make it look cool, but being an adult can be tough. '

' And you do that amazingly. But one day, you will be able to help others in different ways just. . . don't rush, okay? '

𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑶𝑾𝑳 @theruthlessowl.bsky.social · May 24

' Kid. . . Helping people isn't all about rushing into fights or rescuing others. . .

Sometimes, it just means making people's lives a little better. '

He got down on his knees to speak to her at eye level.

𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑶𝑾𝑳 @theruthlessowl.bsky.social · May 24

' You already do. '

He placed a hand on the top of her head with a grin.

' You light up every room you're in, and you give all of us morale. Reminds us what we're fighting for. '

' Hm. Well, you're clearly a quick learner. You'll be a Firelight in no time at this rate. '

He moves in, standing next to her and admiring the graffiti with her. It was. . . rough, yet absolutely beautiful.

' You've got talent, huh? Keep up the good work. '

The fact that she wants to be like him both terrifies and makes him so pleased to see.

Maybe he could come up with a gift for her for later. . .

He's watching from a distance, but he's so happy right now. A strange feeling for him to experience.

𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑶𝑾𝑳 @theruthlessowl.bsky.social · May 24

Oh.

Oh is this what it means to be emotional? Such a proud papa.

𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑶𝑾𝑳 @theruthlessowl.bsky.social · May 24

' Good to know I have someone I can rely on in this universe. '

𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑶𝑾𝑳 @theruthlessowl.bsky.social · May 24

' I'm. . . sorry, that's awful to hear.

If you ever need anything, you know where to find me, now. '

𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑶𝑾𝑳 @theruthlessowl.bsky.social · May 24

' It's good to be back, friend. I have missed how. . . happy this place made me. '

𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑶𝑾𝑳 @theruthlessowl.bsky.social · May 24

' I was. . . dragged away from my home against my wishes.

All I'll say is that they won't do that again. '

𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑶𝑾𝑳 @theruthlessowl.bsky.social · May 24

He's watching the kids run around, just to make sure they're safe.

𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑶𝑾𝑳 @theruthlessowl.bsky.social · May 24

' Oh, there she goes. Should probably keep an eye on her. '

𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑶𝑾𝑳 @theruthlessowl.bsky.social · May 24

' My daughter is running around here somewhere. '

' Stop overclocking the Z-Drive, you could ruin the timeline. '

𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑶𝑾𝑳 @theruthlessowl.bsky.social · May 23

' Alright, alright scamp. You convinced me. '

He put her over his shoulder with a laugh, carrying her off towards their home.

' How could I possibly say no? '

𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑶𝑾𝑳 @theruthlessowl.bsky.social · May 23

' Me too. I missed my daughter. '

He lifted her off the ground, cradling her with one arm.

' So, what should we get up to now? '

𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑶𝑾𝑳 @theruthlessowl.bsky.social · May 23

' I swear. You're such a good kid, why would I go anywhere? '

He removed his mask so she could see the smile she put on his face behind the scarred visage.

He couldn't hold back from wrapping his arms around her, closing his eyes tight to fight back the tears.

' I will never leave you again. I won't. '

𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑶𝑾𝑳 @theruthlessowl.bsky.social · May 23

( He dropped down onto his knees, arms outstretched for a hug. )

I never wanted to leave. . .

𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑶𝑾𝑳 @theruthlessowl.bsky.social · May 23

( He pauses.

Then reaches out towards her. )

Kid. . ?

𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑶𝑾𝑳 @theruthlessowl.bsky.social · May 23

Quiet. . .

Too quiet.

He's not used to this kind of peace. It's jarring.
