Chapter. 7
A new family to protect.
Rogue/Kayla Pov.
It's been 2 days since i adopted Isabel. Right now we're heading to Gotham City because i was contacted by a man who needed my help. You see i didn't just help the homeless but i also did something else. My thoughts were interrupted by a bump on the road.
"Sis, are you ok?"
Isabel said as she looked at me with a worried expression
"Yes i'm ok don't worry your pretty little head"
I said as i ruffled her hair and went back to thinking. Yeah i know it's risky going to the city where the crime rate is the highest with a 6 year old. Not to mention it's batman's city so yeah that's 2 problems. But i'm sure it gonna be fine… i hope.
Now normally i wouldn't take a fucking 6 year old into this much danger but i knew since i had adopted her, she was my responsibility but don't get me wrong she is my family now just like Lina is like a mother to me, Isabel was like a little sister to me and thereby its my job to keep her safe. Right now we are on our way to see Lina i hope she won't freak too much out when she sees Isabel tho.
We are on a bus right now and Isabel was glued to the window again looking at the city that was passing by. She is so excited to meet Lina and yes i call Selina, Lina for short. Oh yeah that reminds me i have given Isabel a nickname
"Hey Bell we have to get off soon"
"Oki"
She sat down on the set again dangling her legs back and forth. When the bus finally came to a stop we stood off and made our way towards Lina's apartment. We walked up the stairs and i knocked on the door we waited a couple minutes and it opened and there stood Lina. She was wearing a blue t-shirt and a pair of black jeans.
"Heya Lina what's up"
I said in the most enthusiastic voice i could fake. She looked so happy and then she saw Bell come out from her hiding place that was behind me. Her face was absolutely hilarious to see, she stood there like a statue for some seconds and finally snapped out of it.
"I LEAVE YOU ALONE FOR A 1 YEAR AND IN THAT TIME YOU SOMEHOW END UP WITH A FUCKING KID!"
She yelled. Bell hid behind me i could feel her shaking. Now it was time for me to be mad she just scared the life out of poor Bell.
"Lina i can expl-"
"I KNOW YOU WERE GONNA GET LONELY BUT THIS!"
"Lina calm do-"
"THIS IS TOO MUCH KAYLA!"
"Lina it's not like th-"
"I MEAN YOU'RE ONLY 16!"
"Lina"
"YOU AREN'T EVEN AN ADULT FOR CHRIST SAKE KAYLA!"
"LINA CALM THE FUCK DOWN AND LET ME EXPLAIN!"
A door behind us opened and a old woman came out with a sour expression.
"Be quiet some people are trying to sleep"
"Sorry"
Me and Lina said in sync. The woman let out a humph and went back into her apartment after that interruption i turned back to Lina she sighed and said with a low tone
"You better have a damn good explanation for this!"
She whispered/yelled. After our little reunion we went inside, Bell was sitting on the couch watching some kind of cartoon while eating some ice cream. Me and Lina were sitting in the kitchen and i was just done explaining how i met Bell.
"Well did i have a good explanation or will i have to order a gravestone for myself?"
Lina rubbed her temple as she walked over to the cupboard and took out a bottle of whisky and just drank right from the bottle.
"... You ok Lina…"
"I know you can take care yourself but… Are you sure you can handle a child"
"..."
I just looked at the ground
"Kayla this life you're living… With you being on the run… You don't even have a permanent home. I do trust you Kayla but this is no life for a child"
The more she said the more determined i was to keep Bell safe. I looked up and met Lina's eyes, my eyes turned black and there was dust coming out of the sides of my eyes.
"I promised to protect her and never let anyone hurt her again... I intend to keep that promise and if i die keeping that promise so be it"
Lina looked surprised i had only ever used this look one time and that was a long time ago. She quickly snapped out of it and smiled at me
"You have a heart of gold you know that right"
She said as she hugged me tightly. My eyes quickly went back to normal and i returned the hug. When Lina pulled back she had a wide grin and the walked into the living room. I walked over to the sink and washed my face
'I… I… did it again… I promised that i would never… Never do it again… Calm down Kayla just… Just don't do it again'
I slapped myself and shook my head and went into the living room and what i saw was the cutest thing ever, Lina was sitting down on her knees hugging Bell and Bell was hugging back
"Welcome to the family Kitty"
A smile spread across my face and a single tear made its way down my face. This was them my new family and i would do anything to keep them safe.
Here's the new chapter and even tho it's short i hope you enjoy it anyway and i sincerely hope that you all have a great day or night wherever you are!
Misker Out.
