Comforting the Lion

TW// Mentions of a Sewerslide attempt





























"First thing I didn't expect to wake up to on Easter Morning was screaming. Second thing I didn't expect to wake up to on Easter Morning was that Lumpy splashed Rosie with Holy Water somehow, and revealed she was half demon. If you'll allow me to get off track here for a Lil bit, but I think Lumpy mistook his waterbottle for a holy water bottle from the local church."

"Apologies for getting off track, but back to what J was getting at. Everyone was screaming for help. Naturally, I fly over to see what is wrong, and Flippy is almost instantly in my face, and he looks like he's seen a ghost. He quickly tells me what had happened to Rosie. And then he tells me what she was doing."

"....this next part I can never forget. He tells me she went grey. That's bad enough on its own. Then he tells me she's attempting to take her own life for fear of the town residents, including myself, will do much worse to her. That is a blow in the chest for anyone, but Rosie? That girl and I are the best of friends, ever since she tamed Arachna's rage! Naturally, I'm not gonna allow Rosie to end her life."

"I quickly fly over to her house, and try the door. Locked. No problem for me though, I just bash the thing off its hinges and quickly run to her room. The first sight I see when I get that door down was Rosie about to stuff her shotgun into her mouth. I tackle her to the ground and pin her arms to the side."

"She gets violent with me. She kicks me in the gut, knocking me off, and she grabbed her shot gun, and a few shells. Now, if you remember that time she fought Splendon’t, you'll remember that she has Krypto-Nut Shells in her possession, and I feared that's what she had grabbed. Sure enough, she did, because I almost instantly felt nauseous. I was able to take them out of her hand before she could load them and stuff them back in the box, and throw the Shotgun across the room."

"Then I notice how she's acting. Her ears are folded, her fur and feathers are poofing out, and she's trying to make herself look as big as she can. Poor girl is terrified out of her damn mind! Since I now knew the root cause of this issue, I could fix it. How?"

"One big hug. I hugged her as tight as she was comfortable with, and refused to let go. She struggled at first, clawing and swearing, then that turned into begging and pleading, and then, tears. Lots and lots of tears. She broke down into a sobbing mess, and I comforted her. I reassured her that no one in town would hurt her for being half demon. She's been nothing but kind, honest, just, and helpful to everyone she meets. Hell, she was even like that to me, even though I was admittedly not that nice to her at first."

"I also told her that if anyone did hurt her, to tell me. I would deal with it. She shakily nodded. This is around the same time her brother Atomos got back to the house. I quickly passed over Rosie to him, and he thanked me so much for saving his sister. Knowing the strong bond those two have, if Rosie ended her life and I did nothing to stop it, I would be on the chopping block for Atomos."

"I then go back to my house, not thinking much of it. Later that evening....682, one of my coworkers at the SSSSuper Squad HQ, tells me he wants to talk to me during lunch, in one of the private meeting rooms. That's code amongst the Heros at the HQ for 'I wanna reveal my civilian Identity to you'. Naturally, I agree, and meet him there."

"I kid you not, 682 IS ATOMOS. I mean, I suspected it from the beginning, but those were only minor suspicious quickly washed away by a wave of doubt. 682 quickly states how grateful he is for me saving his sister, and then reveals he knows my civilian identity. Granted, I should try to disguse better, but even if I did, 682 would still know who I am. But I'm glad with how things worked out, in the end. I comforted the lion, and got to know the lizard's biggest secret."
