"Cora! Come here, Child" Silco called Cora from across the room as she was playing with any scraps she can find from Singed's lab.
Cora walked over to Silco as he had a chair in the middle of the room. Cora saw the chair and looked at him with a confused expression on her face.
"Sit, Child" Silco said as he was standing behind the chair and had his hands on the chair. Cora hesitantly walked over and sat down in the chair.
She sat up straight with her hands in her lap and looked straight. She was confused why Silco was doing this but she went with it.
"Tell me, What have you learned about the boy? Everything...Tell me everything" Silco said as he started to slowly circle Cora.
"Well...his full name is Aceson but everyone calls him Ace. He was a really troubled kid growing up..Uhhh he's really nice! and he always looks out for people and he thought my hair was pretty and he told me my eyes were pretty..." Cora said as she started to day dream.
She normally didn't go off topic when talking to Silco but for some reason she was when thinking about Ace.
Silco gave her a weird look but he let out a Hm before he resumed to circle her.
"Focus, Child...Any important details?" Silco reminded Cora.
"Oh yeah...Um....he has a 3 year old daughter who's almost 4" Cora said. Silco stopped in his tracks. So the rumors he heard were true.
"So I've heard...What do you know about the child?" Silco asked and resumed circling her.
Cora felt something was off when he asked that. She was hesitant about telling him. So she had to do the only thing but lie. To protect Estella.
"I don't know her name but all I know is she's almost 4 years old and she loves music...just like her dad" Cora said.
"Hmm...Very well...Anything you're not telling me?" Silco asked.
Cora shook her head before she remembered some important things.
"Oh! He is pretty strong with his legs and gives good kicks he also has a Katana from his mom...He doesn't need it though from what I saw..He's so strong and he has a good heart..." Cora said
"Hmm...Seems like you two have gotten along well" Silco said.
"Well...kinda yeah he's really nice to me..." Cora said as she smiled softly. Trying to hide that from Silco.
"I'd like to also talk to you about something else" Silco said as he stopped walking and he went over to the lab where Shimmer was being held.
He took out one of the bottles and inspected it.
"You remember how your family was taken from you, no?" Silco asked Cora who looked over at Silco.
Her eyes looking down remembering what happened.
___
"Mommy!" A 6 year old Cora yelled out as tears were dropping down her face.
Watching from the corner of the room was her father beating her mother until she wasn't moving.
Young Cora cried and cried and begged her father to stop.
Once her father was done and all Cora could see was her mother in a pile of blood she couldn't calm down.
Her father looked over her shoulder and made eye contact with Cora.
Cora's eyes widened. Thinking she was next she curled up into a little ball.
