Requester: mama_kurogiri, Prompt: Therapy session with Ben, Notes: Sarah belongs to the requester, Warning: Underage people should stay away from this. 

Ben sighed as he adjusted his reading glasses, facing the person he had personally recruited. She was currently smoking her heart out, lying on the therapy bed so leisurely. 

He massaged his forehead. Why was he doing this again? 

Oh right, because Keita had asked him to recruit her. 

Of course, he was definitely regretting that decision, but meh. He didn't care. He regretted too many things in life, and this wasn't the worst one he made. 

"Sarah, please put the weed away," he finally spoke up, allowing her to look up from her aimless cloud watching to face the person who had recruited her. 

"I've been waiting for the past few minutes for you to start it, and this is what you start it off with?" Sarah Bellum's frown was very obvious on her seven-year-old face. 

"Weed is not good for your health," he sternly spoke, but it wasn't too harsh. It was actually quite soft compared to the ex-villain tone he had had. 

"Whatever. It makes me feel good, so what?" She shot back. 

"Please?" 

"Eh, whatever. Fine," she rolled her eyes as she put it on the ashtray to let it fizzle out on its own, crossing her legs Indian style to show how she felt. 

He massaged his forehead again, wondering if it wasn't too late to go check on the other patients he had in his Rehab Center before he did this. 

Wait, no. He couldn't. He couldn't abandon her with the others. Especially after what happened to GenoCruz... They would be so scared of her. It was actually a miracle he managed to convince Duri and Semo to let Hari and the baby Niji to play with her. Even that hadn't worked. 

He could be the only one who could help her. He couldn't give up on her. 

Another deep breath. He could do this. "You ready to start this thing?"

"I've been ready for a while now, Ben," she bluntly stated, making him mentally facepalm to himself. Right. She had been waiting for him. "But to answer it, yes I am." 

Ben found a small smile growing on his face hearing that, "Great. Let's get started then."
