Roman and Mint walked into the warehouse and Mint’s eyes widened at what he saw. He saw a lot of people working, training, talking, and being by themselves. But one goon saw Roman and let out a whistle.

Everyone looked at them but their eyes were more focused on Mint and Neo’s dead body. The stares scared Mint enough to hide behind Roman and peek from behind his leg. This action made the majority of the female workers ‘Awww’ and ‘Coo’ at the boy. 
Roman looked at the goons and cleared his throat.

Roman: “This is Mint. He is going to be working with us and living here with me.”

Goon 1: “Roman is raising a kid?!”

Goon 2: “The kid is sooo cute!”

Goon 3: “He actually kinda looks like him at first glance. Could have fooled me.”

He said while the mumbeling started since they were in shock. They could be heard by Mint and he blushed lightly. But then one of the guys then asked something.

Goon 4: “Uhh boss, what about the girl in your arms?” 

Roman bit his lip and sighs. He had to tell everyone what happened so they won't bring it up in the future. And so they know why he brought in a dead body.

Roman: “This was Neo: Mint’s sister… She and him ran away from home and I guess their father stabbed her when trying to escape.”

This made Mint’s grip tightened and Roman looked sadly. Everyone gasped and looked at Mint. They were now mumbing 'Poor kid' or 'What the Hell...'.

Roman: “So please bring out the coffin you made for me… We’re burying her.”

He was trying to hold himself back from crying. He started to walk and Mint quickly followed behind. The goons then scrambled and started working on getting the coffin. 

Roman set the body down on an empty workbench and looked at Mint. Meanwhile Mint walked in and saw that there was a tissue box up on a shelf that he couldn’t reach. He then looked at Roman and he gave a sigh.

Roman: “I’ll… give you a few minutes.”

He said while walking out of the room and closed the door. And when the door closed, Mint broke down again.

Mint: “Neo… I wish you were here with me… You saved me from dad and I didn’t even know!”

He shouts while holding her hand. He then started to braid her hair since their mom taught them.

Mint: “But atleast Mom will see you in heaven with Oum.”

He said while then thinking. ‘I need a tissue.’ and suddenly one was next to him. 

This made him jump and slapped it away from him. He looked at the box and peed himself. But slowly the box started to fly and with fast speeds flew towards him. He closed his eyes and got ready to be hit… but it never happened. He opened his eyes and saw it was right in front of his face mere centimeters away.

He shakingly took a tissue and blew his nose and the box flew to the shelf where it was. This made him be more scared but his eyes widened when a being started to form in front of the shelf. When the being forms it floated to him then disappeared. 

Mint: "W-what are you?"

He asked quietly and the being came back out again. This made Mint look at himself and be even more scared. The being looked at him and just stared at him.

Mint: “Uhh… Do you understand me and or speak?”

This made the spirit nod quickly at first. Then the ghostly spirit shook her head afterwards. So she can understand but not speak.

He then remembered what Roman said earlier about Aura and Sembelance. So he started to piece it together and gasped.

Mint: “Wait… Are you my semblance?”

???: “Hey kid, the coffin is re-HEY!”

He asked while the spirit shrugged and the door opened. Roman saw the spirit, went to aim at it but Mint stood in the way. Roman instantly lowered the cane when Mint stood up since he didn't want to hit him.

Mint: “Wait! This is my semblance!”

Roman looked at the spirit in shock and then Mint. The spirit suddenly dove into Mint and disappeared. They both looked at eachother with a questionable look. But Roman got back on the old conversation.

Roman: “We are ready for burying."

He said while picking the body up and carried her out. Mint followed beside him while the goons made an isle to the coffin. He quietly walked beside Roman but was sniffling a few times a minute. Roman set the body in the coffin and moved so Mint can have his final words.

Mint: “Neopolitan Chip… Neo… My sister. You saved me on this night from our abusive father. And your life had to be given away. I didn’t know what was happening until Mr Torchwick found us and pieced everything together.”

He started to speak as Roman started to watch him. He was starting to

Mint: “I just wish you had your stuffed tiger mom made you. And I would have put it in with you.”

A brown flash came out his back and in five seconds the flash happened again and the tiger was in his hand.

This startled Mint but he remembered this happens so he was slowly getting used to it. Roman saw this and was kinda impressed with this semblance. 

Mint: “I pray to Oum you are able to see our mom again. Tell her we would always visit your grave and… and…”

He put the tiger in his sisters crossed arms and took a shaky breath. Then Mint starts crying. His wails echoed throughout the warehouse and Roman quickly walked over. He instantly picked Mint up and gave him a hug.

When Roman was watching from the side he say flashes of him doing the same thing. And he didn’t want someone to suffer also. Roman signaled to 4 goons to carry the casket outside to be buried. Roman followed while holding the umbrella Mint ‘found’ on the road over them.

The casket was lowered and buried in a few minutes and all Mint could do was watch. She was buried in a small grove next to a tree. Mint remembered where she was buried so he can head back and put a tombstone there.

After a while Roman and Mint went back to the warehouse and was going to put Mint to Bed. Roman walked into a well furnished room that had a bunch of jewelry, Dust and Priceless Art; So it had to be Roman’s room. 

“Alright kid, go to bed. I’ve got work to do. I’ve used up all my niceness on you so you better appreciate it.”

Roman said gruffly as he set Mint on the bed and tossed him a clean white shirt. And while Mint was about to speak he was walking to the door.

Mint: “Uhh alright… Thank you, good-”

Before he could finish the door was shut. He stayed quiet and changed into the shirt. He set the dirty shirt on the floor and crawled under the covers.

Mint: “Goodnight…”

Roman stood in the hallway for a moment and sighs. He thought as he started walking. He wanted to be nice to the kid, but he was still a gangster and a criminal.

Roman: ‘Gotta keep this up kid. But you have potential with that quirk of yours. A great power thrives within you.’

So he had to keep that up. But now he had to make sure his new acquaintance is protected. But that had to wait for another time. Roman walked back to the main warehouse and started plotting the next robbery.

Mint laid in the super comfy bed and stared at the ceiling. He still couldn’t believe what happened. But He can focus on that tomorrow. He bit his lip and then decided to do something.

Mint: “Semblance… can you get me a picture of me, my mom and Neo from my room?”

Mint flashed brown and a few seconds later he flashed again. A picture frame of Mint, Neo, and their Mom. He gave the picture a kiss then put it on the nightstand. And soon he fell asleep… with his sister and mom still with him.

(And now... Here is the origins of Mint! I know Roman seems to nice but honestly I can see him being caring based on his reaction to Neo flying away. Oooo that's right... Neo is dead right now... So what will happen to her now? Gotta wait and see!
