???: "H-hey Sis, when can we head home?"

A little boy around 6 asked while looking up at his 14 year old sister with brown and pink hair. The female tween was carrying him and was moving quickly. The boy had no idea what was going on at all.

But he was scared since he was awoken in the middle of the night by stuff being thrown at the wall, she just ran into his room, and then swiftly ran out of their apartment.

The girl just stayed quiet and continued running and carrying the boy. She ran into an abandoned shop and pants lightly. The girl noticeably was holding her stomach as the boy looked at her hand and saw some red. And the boy also noticed their father wasn't there along with them.

She set him down on the ground and collapsed to the ground. A pool of blood was coming out from her stomach under her raggedy shirt. The boy's eyes widened and quickly crawled up to her.

???: "N-neo, Please be alright!"

He said loudly as Neo covered his mouth. The boy loved his sister since their mom died and their dad was abusive. But since he was so young he didn't know was.

Neo: 'Mint... go... leave me... Head to the police station... tell them about what happened... and hide... from....Rocky.'

She said in sign language then slipped a knife into his hand. Neo was to weak and her hands fell to the ground. Soon her eyes closed up. And her final breath was gone. She knew that she would die. But she needed to at least give Mint motivation to keep going since he is innocent.

Mint's eyes widened when her hands dropped and her eyes closed. He slowly grabbed his sister's hand and lightly shook it to see if she would respond. When she didn't he began to get scared and started to hyperventilate.

Mint: "N-Neo! Please wake up!"

He shouts as she then started to shake her body. He had already lost their mother a few months ago and now he is losing his sister. But all hope was gone after a few minutes. He stopped shaking the body and just started crying while holding her body.

Mint: "Neo... NEO... NEEEOOOOOO-AAAAAAAHHHHH!"

Mint let out a scream towards the heavens. But what he didn't know was that someone was watching from the corner of the room in the shadows. Mint's body started to glow brown as he continued to scream. After a few moments he stopped glowing and started crying again. His heart was broken and it would take a miracle to make him better.

???: "Hey kid, what seems to be the matter?"

The man asked while Mint Jumped and shakingly held the knife tightly. He has never held a knife before so he was scared. He also was scared since he is all alone and there is a stranger.

Mint: "W-who's there?! C-come out!"

Mint shouts as he quickly looked around and was holding Neo's body closer. He didn't want to be separated from his sister's body and vice versa. But a chuckle was heard and a lighter was heard. The flame lit the persons face up and lit a cigar in his mouth.

The man stepped forward and looked down at the boy. He wore a red-lined white suit with long black pants and black shoes. He also had a small gray scarf, black gloves with buckled sleeves, and a black bowler hat with a small feather tucked into its red band. The guy's orange hair shined in the moonlit sky like it was a flame itself and is green eyes shone like Dust. This made Mint's eyes widened and drop the knife. He knew the look of this man... this master criminal.

Mint: "R-roman T-torchwick.."

He mumbled softly as named man laughed. He couldn't belive this was actually happening. He remembered his parents talking about him since Mint's father was part of the police force. So he was always told he was a dangerous person.

Roman: "The one and only!"

Roman said while twirling his cane and then posed. This made Mint let out a small chuckle but then he became sad again. This made Torchwick tilted his head and then remembered the dead teen in the boys arm. He kneels down and Mint scoots back into the wall.

Roman: "Hey kid...Don't worry. Come with me and ill protect you."

Roman said quietly. He remembered being in the same position as him but didn't have a person to take care of him. So he was going to do the right thing for once in his life. didn't move at all. He simply took his bowler hat off and slid it to him.

Mint looked at the hat that was next to his foot and looked back at Roman. He slowly put the hat on and didn't say anything. This made Roman smile and get up.

Roman: "Follow me. I'll carry your sister for you."

He said while picking the girls body up and started walking out the shop and through the multiple allyways.

Mint instantly shot up when he started walking. He picked his knife up and put it in his pocket. He ran to his side and held onto his coat as he sucked on his thumb. He couldn't believe that the CRIMINAL... the 'MONSTROUS' Roman Torchwick was actually taking him in.

Roman: "Also you unlocked your aura. So looks like you've got a semblance kid. And you unlocked it super early for your age. Looks like your sorrow for your loss unlocked it."

Torchwick said while it starts to sprinkle and Roman sighs. Mint heard him and sighs as he let go of Roman's coat. He internally wished he had an umbrella so he can make Roman Happy. And a second later one formed in his hand. Mint let out a squeal and dropped the umbrella. This made Roman look back and saw the scared Mint.

Roman: "Yo kid, what's wrong?"

Mint: "N-nothing. But I found this next to us."

He lied as he opened the umbrella and held it over the 3 of them. Roman could obviously tell he was lying but decided to ask once home. Roman hit a button on his cane and a warehouse door opens and they walked in before the rain fell harder... Now this is his new life.
