Implications of Rape/Non-Con
--
She pondered over what Whis said as the hot water of the shower poured over her.
Destroyer. Me? I couldn't be a destroyer. I can't kill entire planets for fun.
She tried to shake off the thought.
"I need my speaker." She clamped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around her. She walked to her dresser and picked up the speaker on it. She grabbed her phone too and turned on her music app. It began to play out of the phone until she paired it to the speaker.
She walked back into the shower and hung the speaker on a hook on the wall. She skipped some songs until she came across one she was in the mood to listen too. She began to sing it as the song reached the chorus.
Welcome to the Panic Room
Where all your darkest fears are gonna come for you, come for you.
As she sang, she couldn't tell what was tears and what was water.
Welcome to the Panic Room
You'll know I wasn't joking when you see them too, see them too
Nyx sat on the floor and began to sob. She felt trapped. Trapped in a world where she didn't belong. Trapped just like she was with Dabura.

"Aren't you a little fighter. I must say it's not often a child shows as much bravery as you." The Demon King held Nyx's dead father by the throat. Nyx was being held back by a blue man in armor.
"Your father brought this on you. All he had to do was give me what I required." He threw her father's lifeless body to the side and walked over to her. "You would make quite the pet. It would be so much fun breaking you." Dabura laughed.
Nyx spit on the demon.
"Fuck you." She growled. Dabura wiped his face and looked at the teen.
"Now that won't do." He slapped Nyx. She quickly snapped her head back to him and blood dribbled from the side of her mouth.
"Take her to my chambers. I need to discipline her properly." He laughed and turned to walk to his throne. "And clean up this whole mess."
They drug Nyx off to a new room in the palace. The whole palace was hundreds of times of her house.
Soon she was brought to a large set of doors. They opened with a small creak and she was thrown inside.
"I'm sorry for you little girl. He isn't easy on his 'pets'." The demon that was holding her slammed the door.
Nyx looked around for any way out, but all there was, was a window that was stories off the ground. She found a corner and sat curled up into herself and sobbed.
She must have cried herself to sleep because she woke up to the door creaking and the demon that killed her parents and siblings walked in.
"You're awake. Good. I want you to be for this." He smirked and walked over to her.
He glared down at her. "You're human, yes? We can't have that. You're much to fragile as a human. I want this to last." He reached down and picked Nyx up by her long brown hair. She reached up and began to whimper. He put a hand on her throat and it began to radiate a red light. Soon the light began to envelop Nyx's entire body and she was changing. He let her go and she dropped to her knees.
Her hair turned raven black. Her ears grew small points at the tip of each. Her eyes turned from a light, sky blue, to a deep violet. And she became much more pale.
"What did you do to me?" Nyx looked at her hair and her skin. Her eyes were huge.
"I made you into an even better pet." Dabura smiled and picked her up by her throat. He walked to his bed, ignoring her gasps for air, and threw her on it. She scooted away from him, but he grabbed her ankle and dragged her back.
"Now be a good little pet," he leaned close to her "and scream."

Now
She was trapped in that hell for years. She had almost given up when Coco saved her. Coco, her caretaker, a simple maid, saved her.
This time, there is no Coco here to save her. It's all up to her.
She was in the shower for an hour and a half just crying and listening to music. She got out and dried herself off. The mirror in the room was steamed up, so all Nyx could see was a blurry outline of herself and her midnight blue hair.
"Why does it always have to be me getting sucked into these situations?" She whispered to herself. She put her hand on the cold mirror and closed her eyes. A single tear fell and she put her hand down.
She put her towel on the ground and put on her pajamas. She dried off the ground from where she got out and threw the towel in, what she assumed was, the hamper.
She walked to her bed and laid down just staring at the ceiling.
She began to cry once more. Her memories filling up her mind. She sang herself to sleep as she did when she was stressed. Only this time she had a secret audience.

"Whis, she is a rarity isn't she?" Beerus looked up to the top of his tree and put his hands behind his back.
"Yes my lord she is. I sense a rather large power within her. I'm just curious as to when she will let it out." The two began to make their way up to Beerus's room.
"My lord, I have a suggestion. If I may." Whis stopped and Beerus did the same.
"Yes, what is it?"
"Perhaps you could make her your successor for God of Destruction?" Beerus raised an eyebrow at the suggestion and put his hand on his chin.
"If she ever decides to show her true power, I think she would fill the position quite well. At least power-wise. As for her attitude, that remains to be seen." Beerus began to walk up again.
"Yes, I can see where your concerns lie." Whis followed the god.
The two walked in silence for a bit, until a sweet sound met their ears.
"Whis, is that Nyx?" Beerus looked up the stairs and then looked to Whis.
"Yes my lord, I do believe it is." Whis closed his eyes, smiled, but didn't stop walking. "She sounds beyond splinded."
"She.. I wasn't aware she could sing so well." Beerus's face was painted with shock.
The two got closer to her door and stopped to listen.
"It's so incredible." Beerus muttered.
Whis just kept a smile on his face and let her voice lull him into a calm.
Suddenly her song stopped and was replaced with sobbing.
"Leave me alone. Please. Just get out. Get out of my head." She whispered to the room around her. The thoughts of her past once more invading her consciousness.
Both of the figures outside of her door were caught off guard.
"She was just singing to herself. What could have happened so quickly?" Beerus whispered to Whis with confusion and concern.
"Perhaps I should go and speak to her my lord. She is most likely feeling at odds with this new environment." Whis began to walk to Beerus's room once again. "Come. I shall get you to bed, then I will see her."
Beerus stood at her door, clearly wanting to go in.
"Perhaps I should speak with her instead. It was I who forced her here." Beerus put his head down.
"My lord I don't believe I've ever seen you willingly apologize to someone. I must say it's a nice change." Whis shook his head. "Do as you wish my lord. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt for her to hear you say sorry." Whis continued his trek up to the master bedroom.
Beerus fought with himself over what he should do. He wanted to help her, to make her feel better, he felt like he owed it to her. He also thought it was beneath him. He was a god. What he said was the law right?
"You can come in if you want." Nyx said in a soft, broken voice. She heard the whole exchange.
Beerus was shocked at what she said, but hesitantly opened the door.
What he saw made him feel something very unfamiliar to him.
Nyx was at the top of the large bed, curled into a ball. Her hair was matted and her face was buried in her arms.
"You can save your breath. I heard almost all of what you were saying on the stairs." She raised her head and looked at him.
Her violet eyes were ringed with red, and she was flushed. Her shirt was soaked with tears and she looked broken.
"I-I don't understand why I'm here. I don't get it. I feel trapped. Like I'm being imprisoned for something I didn't know I did." She looked down at her knees. "And an apology doesn't explain it either."
"Look I'm not sure why you're here either." He walked to a chair and sat in it. "I do know that the dreams we both had aren't coincidences. I do know you are powerful."
"Why can't you let me go home until you find out why you need me?"
"Because we need to train you in the meantime. I don't mean earthling training. I mean Whis's training." He looked at the floor in thought. "You aren't a normal human turned demon. You have divine energy. You feel divine energy. I need to know why." He looked to her with the question.
"I don't know. I don't know anything about any of this ok?" She layed out on the bed and stared at the ceiling.
"You have a magnificent voice." Beerus realized what he said, turned red as soon as he said it.
Nyx turned her head to him in shock. She turned red and sat up.
"You heard that?" She said quietly.
"I thought you knew we heard."
"No I heard you talking about apologizing but not about me singing." Nyx's face turned an even deeper shade of red.
Beerus chuckled at her. "Yes. We had a conversation that ended soon before we heard you."
"Oh." She looked at the wall. "Well I guess it could be worse. I could sound like a dying horse." Nyx began to chuckle to herself.
"Why are you laughing?" Beerus looked confused.
"Cause, it feels better to laugh than cry. And I like looking for something good." She got out of bed and walked to her dresser.
"What are you doing now?"
"Getting my phone charger." She stopped and turned on her heel to Beerus. "Do you have somewhere I can charge this right?" He got up and walked to her, stopping a few feet away and looking at the charger.
"How does it work?" He narrowed his eyes.
"Well you have to plug it in and it uses a bit of electricity to charge the phone. But since we are across the universe, and everything uses ki here I doubt it will work." She scratched her head.
"Here." Beerus held out his hand. "I may be able to help."
Nyx shrugged her shoulders, plugged the wire into the phone, and gave it to the god. He looked at it with curiosity written on his face. Nyx couldn't help but have a light smile while she watched him examine it.
"Ok, look inspector gadget, the electricity goes in here," she pointed at the two prongs, "and uses the wire to transport it to the phone's battery." She smirked and put her hands on her hips.
He rolled his eyes and put two fingers on the prongs. Soon Nyx's phone dinged as to say it's charging.
"Whoa!" She leaned in to watch her phone's battery. It kept from 7% to 100% in less than a minute. She stepped forward and grabbed it. The charger still in his hand.
"That's so cool. How did you do it?" She turned on her phone and was greeted with her usual galaxy screensaver.
"I just turned my ki into electricity and put it slowly into the box." He sighed. "I'm honestly surprised you didn't think to do it. I guess it's just my godlike intuition." He shrugged and put the charging box on the dresser. He noticed how close she was, but he couldn't bring himself to back away. He couldn't bring himself to look away either.
"Godlike intuition, huh? More like godlike bullshittery." She smiled and looked up. She saw that he was less than a foot away from her at this point. She looked over his face and noticed that he was staring at her. She quickly blushed and looked back to her phone.
"Thank you." She put her phone on her dresser and walked to her bed. "Thank you for charging my phone."
Beerus looked slightly shocked but recovered quickly.
"It barely used any of my power. Just think of it as payback for bringing you here." He put his hands behind his back and began walking to the door.
"I accept your apology." She barely said loud enough for herself to hear. She knew he heard it though when he stopped. "If I'm needed for some universal reason, I suppose it's pretty important. I can stay for a while. As long as it doesn't get to boring." She looked at him and saw that he was also looking at her.
Beerus smirked "I assure you, between Whis and I, it never gets dull. Now it's time I go to sleep. It's been an extremely long day." He began to walk out and stopped at the door. "Goodnight my lady."
He walked out and the door closed behind him.
Nyx sat staring at the door for a few minutes until she decided to go to bed. She was tired after the day she had. She didn't know why, but she no longer thought Beerus was all that bad. He was clearly upset that she wanted to go home. She doesn't understand that either.
Why was Beerus, an apathetic destroyer, torn because she was upset?
