Helluva Boss: ''Helluva Human Kid''

Balin's First Night in Hell

Loona continued soothing her new little human friend in her arms, who was still crying after telling his new demon friends of I.M.P the emotional story of how he became homeless after his parents were sent into witness protection without him.

Meanwhile, the three imps were standing out front of the board room discussing their options on how to help him out. But they were still heartbroken.

"Okay, does anyone feel like I'm an asshole here?" Blitzø quietly asked M&M.

"Blitzø!" Loona shouted from the board room. She pointed at her sensitive ears through the silhouette of the door window. "Sorry Loonie!" he called back in response.

Blitzø sighed thinking about what he just said, even so. "Out of all our missions here, this part... I'm... I don't think I feel pride on this one."

Millie was sniffing and blowing her nose with her tissues. "I thought humans were the real demons in his world, but this one..." she was cut off as Moxxie wrapped her up in his embrace. "Hush honey. You don't need to think that now." he consoled her.

"But still..." Millie finished in short, before Blitzø started talking again. 

"To think humans would do that to someone like him for a stupid reason, or maybe even none at all, to such... young'uns!" he dramatically said.

"So what do we do now?" Millie asked. "Well for one thing," replied her husband. "We can't let him stay here."

"WHAT?!" Blitzø and Millie were surprised. "Moxxie! Why would you even suggest such a damn thing?"

"He said it himself, Millie!" Moxxie pointed his finger to Blitzø, who reacted feeling offended. "Me?"

"Didn't I hear you whisper to Loona that not even mortal children can be seen down here?" he continued. "Our clients have seen what we've done to mortals in the past, right? Half of them done worse to end up here, so what if they did any of that to innocent children? Like this one!"

"That was before he brought tears to my eyes Moxx!" Blitzø snapped back. "Keep that yourselves by the way; And not a lot of people have been able to come that close to my heart like that, especially when we first meet!"

"You, have a heart?" Moxxie sarcastically asked while Millie slashed his back with the pointy end of her tail. "OW!"

"It's like you and Mills said. We may look like monsters, but we aren't." he sympathetically said.

"Fair. But even we don't know if anyone else in Hell else could be. Remember Alastor?"Blitzø got shivers down his spine hearing that name. 

"Point is, this kid probably won't be safe here." Moxxie continued. 

"What about what Millie suggested earlier? Maybe he could help us out with some protection." Blitzø reluctantly suggested. "You mean, Stolas?" Millie tilted her head in surprise.

"Stolas, then who else? The other overlords?" A silence filled the room after Moxxie had said that. The crew almost believed him, until... "Trust me sir, the kid has got to go back to his home world. He can't stay here."

"Moxxie! Come on!" Loona stormed out of the room calmly with Balin still in her arms. "We can't just send him back on out there!"

"Of course not! Balin? What was the name of that foster home buddy?" Moxxie asked him gently.

"I... I... don't, know..." he whimpered as he turned away from him, planting his head on Loona's shoulder. "I thought we were friends Mr. Moxxie." This sent a chill down his spine. "No, no, kid, we are, come on."

"Way to go Moxx!" scolded Loona. "You saw how sensitive Balin is about this. He just went through escaping a foster home for Goodness sake!"

"I know, and... and I'm sorry. Okay Balin?" he asked him. He didn't answer though.
