Outlaw Therapy

Burned by the Past - Part 1

This is a five-part emotional and dramatic Helluva Boss oneshot set in Hell; showing a possible scenario where Striker's backstory is revealed to Blitzo.

Blitzo is finally persuaded (by sheer, incessant nagging) to visit a therapy clinic to get help for his past trauma.

Unfortunately, he runs into a past acquaintance ... who is not at all happy to see him.

In a waiting room, in a private hospital in the Pride Ring, morning ...

"Mommy! Mommy! That fire toad's back again! Why is he back?!"

Blitzo groaned loudly, as he quickly turned a narrowed gaze on the offending demon in question.

It was that annoying brat Blitzo had met weeks ago ... when he accompanied Loona to get her shot.

And ... joy of joys: his equally obnoxious mother had come along too!

"Don't worry, dear ... that riff-raff won't be here long," she said reassuringly, glaring back at Blitzo from where they sat.

The offensive duo were luckily not sitting right beside him ... they were four seats away on the imp's right.

They were the only three people in this whole hospital waiting room. Blitzo couldn't decide whether that was a good thing ... or a bad one.

"Never mind, I'll buy you a lollipop afterwards to make up for it!" On second thoughts ... maybe four seats wasn't far enough!

The boss imp just huffed, rolled his eyes, and turned away from the two nuisances with a grimace. Blitzo's hands itched for action as they crept to the pistols inside his jacket.

The sheer disrespect and insulting behaviour from the both of them was almost too aggravating to bear! He then shut his eyes for a moment, and took a few deep breaths.

Breathe, Blitz ... just breathe. Let the insults go, the aforementioned imp told himself as he forced his hands away from the weapons.

You can't shoot the kid and his mother at the moment for a VERY good reason!!!

Namely ... that Blitzo would be kicked out and banned from this particular hospital.

Unlike the one that he took Loona to recently; this hospital was a private establishment ... and thus had rules.

VERY strict rules indeed! One of which was no fighting or killing in the hospital allowed!

The boss imp didn't want to be kicked out this early ... for two reasons. One, because it cost a god-awful lot to get in, and two ... Moxxie would be very upset.

Blitzo grumbled sourly under his breath at the thought of the aforementioned smaller imp.

Christ on a stick, MOXXIE would have had no problem whatsoever with this! Lucky moron! he grumbled mentally to himself.

Moxxie had, ironically, been the main reason why Blitzo was in the hospital waiting room to begin with!

After the disastrous reunion with Blitzo's sister Barbie Wire ... during their last job, the boss imp had decided to hold a private talk with Moxxie.

In that talk, Moxxie admits that he did mess up with that job, and that Blitzo was right to criticise him for his mistakes.

His boss, in turn; had apologised for taking his inner hurt feelings out on Moxxie ... over Barbie's rejection.
