Galaxy Fam

Thanks to Them (alternative galaxy fam au)

Once Luz explained her adventures and countless near deaths in the isles to her mom, Camila looked shaken, yet concerned. "Your friends are welcome to stay as long as they need, mija. But I'm afraid I only have space for five of you, and I don't want anyone sleeping on the floor."

Luz suddenly had an idea. "Hunter can stay with the Slydales! I'm sure Sunny and Night won't mind."

"Luz, there's something you need to know. Night is pregnant..." Camila said softly, immediately hyping her teenaged daughter up. "AI DIOS MIO!!! Really?! OH MY GOSH!! I know they've been trying for years!"

"But with one teenager in the house and a baby on the way, I'm sure it would overwhelm them if another one shows up on their porch. But, I'll give her a call." Camila pulled out her phone. "Hola, Noche. I know it's late, but this is an emergency...." Camila continued to explain, Hunter watching her facial expressions for some kind of cue. Surely he probably wouldn't be welcome, considering he was the clone of a murdered dead man. "Oh, gracias! He'll be on his way."
She hung up, smiling in relief.
"Luz, can you walk Hunter over there? And I let her know that Hunter needs clothes."

Luz grabbed her jacket, Hunter's arm, and Amity's hand, the rest of her friends following.

Hunter slowly moved backwards as he approached the door. What if this family didn't like him? Or worse...what if they treated him like Belos did?

"You okay, Hunter?" Asked Willow, and Hunter nodded.
"I'm fine, Captain." Hunter still frowned, legs still shaking rapidly. "Hey..they're  really nice people, Hunter. There's nothing to be scared about." Luz assured him, Gus nodding. "Luz told me she stays at their house all the time! They cook really good human food apparently." Gus nudged Hunter as he said the word 'human', along with using a different tone all together. Luz knocked, and answered a lanky teen boy with black hair, orangish bangs and freckles dotted underneath blue eyes. "Hey, squirt. Where have you been for this entire summer, and why do your friends look all banged up? Especially the blonde."

Hunter felt intimidated by the boy, stepping forward.
"I'm someone you don't wanna mess with, human."

"Ey! Hunter, ¡cortalo!" Hissed Luz, pulling him back slightly.
Cyrus tried to reach out and touch Hunter's face to get a closer look at the nasty scar on his cheek, but Hunter panicked, running off. "Oh, shit! Is he okay?!" The teen could feel his cheeks growing hot, scared he might've hurt this child.

"He's an abuse victim, Cyrus. He reacted to you nearly touching him as though he was going to be beat up." Luz explained, Night came outside after hearing the ruckus. She heard everything, running towards the woods. "BABE!! YOU CAN'T RUN OFF LIKE THIS WHEN YOU'RE PREGNANT!!" Shouted a blonde man who ran after her.
"That's Sunny?" Amity asked, Luz nodding.

"Woah that man is fast!! Maybe I should ask him to help me with flyer derby!" Willow exclaimed, as she and the group followed the adults into the woods.

Hunter sat alone on the soaking wet ground, tracing random shapes with his fingers in the mud.
The boy placed his head on his knees, softly crying. Flapjack empathetically chirped, landing on Hunter's exposed knee. Soon, a figure approached him, and Hunter looked up, the crunching of the leaves underneath feet alerting him to this. "Hi, honey. Are you okay?" The blonde woman now in front of him asked.

Hunter shook his head 'no', and the woman sighed softly. She bent down in the dirt to be a bit closer to the teen. "Can I take a look at your face kiddo? I promise I won't hurt you."

Hunter backed away. Oh, he was abused that bad, and this made Night want to give hell to the person that did this. Night felt horrible for this malnourished boy, wanting to scoop him up and take him home where he would be safe. She decided to make sure he was comfortable with her before trying anything else.
"What's your name, sweetheart?"
