tw: sexual assault

Mias stood in front of his mom, fists raised. His small figure couldn't even cover his mother's silhouette, after all he was ten. Ten when he found a guard ripping his mothers scrubs off her torso in their home. She'd just came back from a long day nursing, and also mentoring a new girl interested in becoming a doctor. The guard has been following Kiera for some time now, lingering stares, groping ever once and awhile.

Mias never saw it until he busted through their door and grabbed Kiera's shirt. He immediately stepped in, pushing the guard away. "Leave my mommy alone!" He shouted, fists ready to punch the guard. The two adults were stunned at the scene, Kiera behind him clutching her chest. Getting over his initial surprise, the guard chuckled.

"Get outta here, little bitch." The guard pushed Mias' head back with his large palm. Heart pounding in his ears, Mias winded his right arm back.

"Miah', no!" Kiera shouted, but it was too late, Mias had punched his crotch. The guard doubled over in pain before getting struck with another blow to the head. The guard stumbled back, then straightened himself up.

"Oh, so daddy didn't beat you enough? Don't worry, I'll do it for him." Mias flinched, expecting the slap, but it never came. Kiera had thrown himself in front of the boy, taking the hit herself. Her head flow back, blood flying from her mouth. Mias caught his mother as she fell back, a fat bruise forming on her jaw.

After that it was almost a blur for the little boy, what he did remember was blood dripping from his nose as he hit the guard in the back of the head with a lamp. It was enough to knock him out, but not enough to convince the council he didn't deserve punishment. They put him in the Skybox for six months until he was let go.

His father, Paulo, sat down with him on the couch, "You did a good job protecting your mother, Jeremiah." He wrapped and arm around his son and pulled him close, "Next time, you will be stronger. So, when I am not there again, you will take care of her. I promise, I will teach you everything you need to know."

So, Paulo kept his word. When he would work late nights in construction, Mias would use the lessons he was taught to protect his mother incase anything would happen. At just sixteen, Mias was bigger, stronger. One night, he went to get a snack for Kiera, then he saw him. He was standing there without a care in the world, hands tucked in his vest, patrolling the hallways. He hadn't noticed the boy staring at him, or maybe he just didn't recognize him.

Mias always remembered him though, Wes Mallory. They let him keep his job after what he'd done? The brown-skinned boy was furious. He stepped up to the guard, tapping him harshly on his shoulder.

Mallory turned around, attitude apparent. "Can I help you?"

"You don't remember me, do you?" Mallory stared at the boy, confused. "Good. Just know, if you even breathe the same air as my mom, you'll be fucking dead." With that, he turned on his heel and began walking away, but Mallory couldn't let it go.

"What are you gonna do, little bitch?" Mallory taunted with a grin.

Mias turned back around and stalked towards him, grabbed him by his vest, and punched him. Again. Again. And again. Until blood coated his fists and he had to be pulled off him. The council wasn't so merciful as he was sentenced to the Skybox until eighteen, where they would decide to have him floated or not.

Luckily, his cell wasn't so empty this time. He shared it with Atom, who he grew to become close friends with. The blue-eyed boy went away for stealing medical supplies for his mother, before getting caught with arms full of pill bottles. And now, they both bond over shared trauma, amongst other things. Now, seventeen years old, him and 99 other delinquents get sent to the ground, where he would face trials and tribulations alongside new companions.
