*Niki's Mom

Kai ran around the base. Trying to find his room again. He sighed, defeated. 'Kai?' A somewhat familiar voice asked.

'Boss!' He exclaimed, stumbling back and falling to the floor. The man chuckled and reached out to help him up. Kai reached out but remembered the last time he let someone help him up, in his fear he snapped his hand back and held them to his chest. He began muttering apologies to someone who was no longer there.

'Kai.' Pops said, still holding out his hand. 'It's okay.' He smiled. He slowly reached out again and took his hand. Pops helped him stand up again and brushed off his clothes. 'It's okay, and you don't have to call me Boss, call me Pops.' He ruffled his hair a little and smiled.

'Okay...'

After they brought the Kitten to the shelter, they went back to Fatgum's place. Kai made sure to stay close enough to Rock Lock the collar wouldn't go off. But he noticed Rock Lock staying just inside the range, was he expecting Kai to attack and was prepping for it?

Overhaul sighed and grabbed his book from the coffee table but felt a shock go through his arm, he screamed as he dropped it grabbing his arm and looking back up at Takagi, who was holding a buzzer. 'What?! What did I d- Ah!' He screamed again as he grabbed his neck next.

'Daddy stop!' Niki yelled, taking the buzzer away from him and throwing it away.

'Niki!' He yelled.

'Shut up Rock Lock!' Niki screamed at him and ran to Kai, being careful not to touch him anywhere Kai was shocked. 'Are you okay?'

'I-I'm fine Niki.' He smiled, patting Niki's head.

'Niki get away from him.' Rock Lock demanded, still surprised by Niki's tone and sudden outburst.

'No! Leave him alone!' He yelled back.

'What's going on?' Fatgum asked, closing the door. He had just gotten home from work and had no context.

'Nothing Fat it's fine.'

'Rock Lock lowered Mr. Chisaki's range without telling him, and he got seriously hurt! And then he got mad when he tried to comfort me when I apologized for his actions! And then he shocked him when he tried to pick up a book! He tried to ask what he did but he shocked him again! Rock Lock hurt him really bad and got mad when he defended himself!' Niki yelled, refusing to refer to Rock Lock as anything but his hero name.

'Rock Lock is that true?' Fatgum hissed.

'Well- He's a villain!'

'That doesn't give you the right to treat him like a pet that needs training. Rock Lock, give me the bracelet and leave.'

'Fine. Niki c'mon.'

'No! I don't wanna! I want Mommy!'

'Niki!' Rock Lock yelled.

'No! I want Mommy. I don't want to go with you!'

'Niki! Come. On.' He growled.

'He said he didn't want to.' Kai defended. That pissed Rock Lock off, it was the last straw.

'Fine. Want this so bad Fatgum? Take it.' He growled, throwing the bracelet over to him, and far, far out of range.

Kai screamed in pain as Fatgum caught the now tangled-up bracelet. Niki did his best to keep the shocking part of the collar off Kai's neck but kept shocking himself in the process. It was leaving marks on his hands and he could see the marks on his neck. 'Mr. Fatgum please hurry!' He yelled, tears in his eyes.

Fatgum finally undid the tangle in the bracelet and ran over to the two and touched the collar and bracelet together. As the shock finally stopped Niki hugged Kai, trying to help in any way he can. His fingers and hands were permanently marked and in a great amount of pain.

'Niki. Come. On.' Rock Lock demanded again.

Fatgum handed the bracelet to Niki and walked over to Rock Lock. He slapped him and punched him. Rock Lock doubled back, holding his noes and falling to the floor.

'I gave you no permission to disrespect my tables by not using a coaster, using the buzzer, and especially not to change the range on Kai's collar. I am his host, you are not allowed to do anything with Kai without my permission. I will call *Amira to come to pick up Niki in three hours. Now leave.'
