[ Like we're talking class a asshole without even trying terrible. ]
[ The fact anyone is letting her near them must be a child's nightmare. How does anyone handle this? It'd been... Well, calling it simple would be a poor choice of words. She'd found the child hiding in a corner close to one of the ruined zones. She'd spoke of shadows and monsters and things that were more normal than they were not. Nebula had not been patient - though in her own ways, she tried. She'd demanded where her parents were and the answer to that had been splattered across the cobblestones. ]
[ That had filled her with anger and she bore no kindness for the monster that was still slurping up their supper like... She's not putting words to it. She did not care to wait for the Legion, it had been quick work. And when she returned to the child she'd been covered in blood that wasn't hers in - probably wasn't just the monster's either. The child had looked terrified. ]
[ She wouldn't blame her. And yet the child had hugged her and she'd hugged her back. Confused, wary, and surprised. By the time the Legion had gotten there to ask questions the child had fallen asleep. They offered to take her to the orphanage and Nebula had refused. She's not particularly sure why she refused. They would be able to take care of her; Maybe she remembered when her own parents had died and what her father's army had done to her and everyone she loved. ]
[ She took the child with her and by the time she'd woken up she had bought them both new clothes and taken her to clean up. After that, it really wasn't a difficult decision - Nebula was not fit to be a parent. She was not fit to watch over children so dropping her off at the orphanage had been the only right thing to do... But Shardbearer exploits hadn't passed by even children. ]
[ So now she has children tugging at hands, her legs, and anywhere they can reach. They talk and scream and laugh and she wonders if she ever had a day like that - And it's only because the one young girl clings close to her that she stays even when she snaps at another pair for yanking on her hair. ]
