An idea I got from reading an AO3 story recently, "Inheritance" by, "Ranger_Nova".
I'm not stealing the idea by any means, no! I wanted to do a story on this, sure there will be some elements that are shared BUT the plot is different.
You'll see for yourself.
Oh and if any of you have an account on AO3, since I do not have one as apparently I need somebody to invite me in order for me to actually start an account on there, please let that person know that I really like his story, that this story I'm doing was inspired by his and To thank him for the inspiration he gave me there.
Please enjoy!!
Honestly he wanted to blame it on his own anxiousness for keeping him up late at night, he really wanted to blame it on the cookies and milk he had before bed which he often indulged in, He wanted to especially blame it on his own curiosity for leading him up to this.
He really absolutely regretted doing what he had done, even though it wasn't illegal it doesn't change the fact that what he found was just so shocking that he honestly wanted to believe that it wasn't true, that he was just having a nightmare and that it was better he just go to sleep and then when he woke up he would know that it was all just a nightmare from those cookies and milk he had.
He wanted to deny what he found, more than ever... but he couldn't.
No matter how many times he pinched or slapped himself or even punched himself for that matter, he was still wide awake and the information on the screen before him was still right there as clear as day.
This was just way too shocking, he didn't even want to think about what would happen if anybody else knew, or even He himself, He had no idea whatsoever as he knows that He had been adopted many years ago when He was a baby so He had no clue as to who His real parents were, or even where He came from, nobody had figured that out no matter how hard they looked.
This he knew because a couple of months ago He had actually explained this to him and the others when The topic of parents and family came up during one of their occasional ranger retreats they had. And He thought it would be best to explain that part as He trusts them with something that was rather sensitive, and they all promise they wouldn't speak a word about it, the only other person who was aware of this was Commander Nebula as did they have known each other far longer than the rest of them had.
Although it didn't stop Booster from being curious as to who His biological parents were, and even though it's been years since anyone has probably ever checked, there was a good chance that something might have changed and so it wouldn't really hurt to look it up one more time right?
And honestly he did this not only because of his curiosity but also because he wanted to do something for Him after all the hard work He's put in and after everything He's done for them, He thought it would be nice to help Him figure out anything at all relating to His origin.
But oh how regretful he was.
He didn't think this was ever possible, he honestly wanted to refuse that this was such a possibility... But then again there were at least a small handful of rangers who were related to some old-time criminals and yet despite them being related by blood they've more than proven that they were worthy to be space rangers, that just because they related to the bad guys doesn't mean that they themselves were bad too.
But he never believed that one of those people happened to be his commander, leader, his friend and brother in arms.
He... He really didn't know what to do, especially as now his mind was at war with himself in whether or not He should tell him or just never do so at all and take this information with him to his grave.
He really didn't know how He would react, He honestly didn't want to imagine, being a space ranger and hero for so long that the thought of Him being relating to a villain just seemed plain impossible, yet the evidence was staring him in the face.
Especially as it wasn't some small time villain or any in the A-D category of villains that was the cause of his concern (it would still be bad but he'd rather take any one of them then HIM), but instead was one of the worst in the S tier of villainy.
He really didn't know what to do.
He couldn't help but tear up, he just couldn't decide. He didn't want to choose. He'd rather forget what he found... but doing so would be fatal. If He were to learn of this he would undoubtedly be horrified, shocked, be in denial, and worse of all start questioning His place as a Space Ranger let alone as one of the good guys, worse still have an existential crisis.
Being a ranger meant everything to Him, so if He were to learn of this revelation... Booster honestly didn't want to imagine that reaction.
How would the others react to this, or any of the other rangers? Or even Commander Nebula for that matter? The thought of any of that scared him.
It hurts, there was no other way around that, it just hurts.
What should he do?!?
"So you found out what I did years ago, huh son?" Came a voice that startled him so bad that he yelped and fell out of his chair with a very loud "thud".
Wincing in pain as he rubbed his sore left side He looked up only to see to his shock the not-so-surprised look of Commander Nebula, And in fact his face even looked rather sad and defeated.
"Commander?" He asked, nervous yet stunned.
