Helluva Boss: ''Helluva Human Kid''

Ch.14 - Meeting a Goetia Family

The imps returned to I.M.P after their mission in Chicago, with Millie opening the portal into Blitzø's office with the Asmodean crystal while her boss and Moxxie ran through it puffed out after their workout of a chase.

"Ah, cheer up, Moxx." Blitzø nudged him as she closed the portal. "At least you didn't get the other eye black this time."

"Thankfully, no sir." hissed Moxxie in pain. "Bad news now is I need some stitches in my fucking armpit after grazing it!"

"Technically, it was a loose tree branch, not me who snapped it." lied Blitzø, as Millie wrapped her arm around her husband's injured one. "Anyway... Loonie! We're home!"

"Whatever!" she shouted from the other room, before sniffing. "Why do I smell someone's ripped-open armpit?!"

"Don't worry, we're all clean!" shouted Moxxie sarcastically in response.

Soon, Blitzø walked out of his office to see a marvellous sight. M&M soon joined him and looked to see Loona and Balin on the couch together.

Loona was laying on top of Balin's lap like a normal dog as he sat up with a comb brushing the fur along her back and her tail with a hairbrush.

"Mmmm..." purred Loona. She was really in the zone with this.

Moxxie and Millie went "awwww" witnessing this sweet moment.

"Damn kid, how'd you manage to do that?" Blitzø asked in an impressed but nearly pouty tone. "Every time I try, I nearly lose my hand."

"Maybe because you don't know a 'darn' thing about personal space?!" snapped Loona in a sarcastic tone.

Hearing her annoyance, Balin gave her some soft ear scratches to calm her down, causing her to pant in pleasure.

"Thanks kid." she chuckled, having deserved that. "Sorry 'bout that."

"So, you gonna answer my question?" asked Blitzø.

"Well... if you must know, he did just tell me he used to own a dog, before it died." Loona explained for Balin.

"Really?" asked Moxxie intriguingly.

"Let me guess. The snip?" Blitzø pantomimed a pair of scissors.

Hearing that, Loona gasped and growled loudly at him, while Moxxie slapped him at the back of the head with his not-broken arm. One he doesn't normally use.

"What's the snip?" asked Balin curiously.

"Oh no, no, no, no, no!" Loona quickly stopped him. "Don't worry buddy, Blitzø's just being an idiot."

Blitzø pompously huffed hearing that, and turned away from them.

"You see, my parents dropped her off to my Nan-Nan's house last year, and that was the last time I ever saw her." explained Balin. "But I'm okay now. I did think she knew someone who would adopt her next."

"True. You do seem a little young to know that feeling." Blitzø then said kindly.

"And we're sorry about that." Loona added, sitting up in a dog-like position and gently patting his head, while everyone else apologised next.

"No, it's okay, guys. It wasn't your fault." smiled Balin. "But I appreciate it."

Soon, Millie snuck away from the group noticing the clip on her phone.

"Well, looks like I'm all brushed." sighed Loona. "And shiny too. I'm impressed."

She was about to leave the couch, until Balin softly grabbed her paw.
