Six Of Crows imagines

Trouble-Wylan POV

Wylan opened the door to the Van Eck mansion. The first thing he saw was the long brown hair of his adopted daughter Peara, sitting on the couch,  book in one hand, a cup of tea in the other. "What did you do?" He asked dropping his satchel on the table by the door and going over to sit next to her.

Peara attended the university even at the age of 14, she was told that she could get and education from a old teacher. A few other kids around her age in Ketterdam found out and suddenly, they had a high school. When a kid went home early, it was because they were either pulled out by a parent or they were in a fight, and the bruise forming on Peara's left cheek told Wylan it was the latter of the choices.

"Well" Peara said not looking up from her book. "Lana was being a dick so I told her to 'shut up' and she came over and smacked me". "So what did you do?" He asked already knowing the answer. Peara was strong willed but when it came to learning, she got a bit... carried away. "So I hit her right back" she said, turning the page. Wylan grabbed the book out of her hands and put it on the coffee table, ignoring Peara's annoyed glares. "Peara, you can't just hit someone even if they hit you. You know that" he said taking her hands in his. "But..." Peara argued "she deserved it".

Wylan suppressed a laugh, and as he opened his mouth to say something, the front door opened. "Hey Wyl...ohhh" Jesper stopped looking at the bruise on his daughters face. "What happened here?" "Peara got into a fight" Wylan said. To his surprise, Jesper's face lit up, "nice, did you win?" He looked like he was going to say more but one look at Wylan's face and he changed tone "um... I mean... that's not good Peara, not good at all". "But seriously" he whispered to her when he sat down behind her, "did you win?" Peara nodded and turned back to face her more stern father. At that moment Kaz and Inej walked into the house. "Wylan I need more flash bombs" Kaz began but took one look at Peara and raised his eyebrows. "You know what? Let's discuss this first".

It was Kaz's idea for them to adopt when he saw Peara sneak off a slavers ship. Apparently she looked at him and he saw a broken girl in her eyes, from then on he knew he needed to give her a home with a person who would love her like their own. And that person wasn't himself So, just like Kaz, he kidnapped her and brought her kicking and screaming to Jesper and Wylan and they decided to take her in. That, was three years ago.

"What happened?" Inej asked as she walked behind the couch and lent on it,
"this git at my school was being annoying so I just did what Kaz told me to do". All eyes fell on Kaz, he simply shrugged "did it work?" Peara nodded. "There you have it". "Am I the only one who doesn't think this is a good thing?" Wylan asked annoyance bubbling inside him. Inej laughed "well she is growing up with the bastard of the barrel, she's gotta learn how to fight". At that Peara stood up, walked over to the door and threw her satchel over her head. "Well since I'm off for a week I'm gonna go get some stuff," "a WEEK" they all yelled at her. "Well I did break her nose" Peara shrugged, "what are you gonna go pick up?" Jesper asks. "You know" she said throwing a pouch of coins into the bag, "books books and more books,"
"Jeez why not go get a life while your at it?"
"Haha your so funny. Bye" and with that she was out the door. "Be back for-" Wylan yelled but the door had already closed, "...dinner."

"What are we gonna do with her Jes?"
"Simple isn't it? Get her into training and send her on jobs with the dregs" Kaz said standing up, "now, flash bombs"
