Helluva Boss: ''Helluva Human Kid''

Octavia and Balin

Octavia was seen pacing back and forth as she was telling Stolas and everyone else some bad news from her, as they all sat near the window in the kitchen.

"Alright, first thing's first. I know you guys have the Asmodean crystal. Correct?" Octavia pointed to the I.M.P gang.

"Oh! Well, uh... you, you see Via, it's just..." Blitzø began to stutter, until Millie touched his shoulder to tell her the truth. With a breath, he did just that and showed her the crystal. "Yes, we do. Your dad gave it to me just I started fucking up with each other."

"Blitzø..." Loona reminded him in annoyance while Moxxie covered Balin's ears, also holding up a swear jar. "Are you kidding me Loonie?!" argued Blitzø. "Do not call me that. Pay, up, now." she then said angrily. Before long, Blitzø put a penny into Loona's personal swear jar for I.M.P. Normally, there'd be a couple grand in there in her case, but even that could change with a human child like Balin too.

"Now, with that set in mind," Via continued, as she held the Asmodean crystal in her hand. "I overheard mother talking with Uncle Andrealphus, and it was something about you. I don't know what it was but it certain wasn't anything... good." Stolas then secretly growled in owl noises knowing how much he hated his arrogant brother-in-law more than his wife.

Via then pulled him several pictures of plans taken on her phone. "Turns out the divorce you two made set off something in mother more than I don't think anything in your... past marriage, or whatever that's called, has lead up to before."

"Before? What did she say to you Via? What did she do?" Stolas asked her. "Nothing. She was busy trying to groom me, saying all sorts of weird royalty stuff, like how to rule with an iron fist." replied Via. "It's like she was keeping a secret of some kind."

"Oh, that's your mother alright." Stolas then said. "Always the brute, never the brightest when it comes to the family formalities."

"Exactly. So that's why, you need to take a look at this." insisted Via. 

"Hmm..." Stolas began looking at the pictures on Via's phone. They were of blueprints of Stolas' attempted murders from the past crossed out, and new murder possibilities all planned out. This also included ways to take charge of his possessions and affairs once passed down to her.

He may not have seen the pictures close up with his birds-eye but he was a damn-fast reader.

"But anyway, judging by this, she must be planning on using your divorce to her advantage to get her hands onto everything you have. Even the crystal, and perhaps the Grimoire too."

"The Grimoire? Okay, sweetie, dear old dad had it confiscated from the business when we handed us the crystal." Blitzø reminded her. 

"Actually no. The Grimoire's staged in some other place in the house at the moment, Blitzy." Stolas replied flatly.

"Then where is this somewhere?" Via asked. "Uh, Via, what is this intention of your mothers' with the Grimoire? And the crystal? She never really cared enough to have that on her mind."

"Yeah, indeed. Especially the first time your dad and I had that... uh, meeting, when I was beginning to found I.M.P, and she didn't even see it when I landed on the birthday cake she was shoving down, so..." 

Blitzø was then squeezed in the arm by Loona. "Blitz-O! Will you shut up?! Royalty is talking!" she yelled through her teeth.

"Nah, no, that's fine, Loona. All words are welcome to be expressed in this royalty." Stolas kindly said. "As long as they aren't about sex. Anymore. In these two kids' sakes, especially."

"I'm pretty sure that's too late for me, dad." Via grumbled to him. "Word." Loona hollered back while she was still on her phone. She then looked to Balin, who was sitting next to her feeling uncomfortable by the scene.
