Morana, what were you thinking?
There was no denying that Morana absolutely loves her boyfriend, even if he could be a little snappy sometimes, and her stepmother always said she looked at him like he had hung the moon. But this? This was something far from what Morana had initially imagined. Powers, different timelines, some shit they all talked about, and this "Umbrella Academy." She believed they were still coming down from the saké bomb Ben had unexpectedly spiked. She would've still believed that if she hadn't almost died because of Lila's eye lasers and Ben's tentacle thingys, but still, her point stands. She believed they were all a little bit much, but she didn't say anything. They were her boyfriend's family members after all.
Still, what was she even thinking?
Morana felt so dumb being gathered into a van with people she barely knew about yet barely liked either. She didn't want to be stuffed with them for hours on end, so she did what she believed every adult did: she called her stepmother.
Her nose and cheeks were reddened from the snow on the province as she heard the other line ringing with dread lingering in her stomach. Those other people were waiting for her in the rundown van, probably thinking she was just backing out while Diego filled the van with gas, and she began pacing. The little puddles of water splattered underneath her boots as she paved back and forth, her teeth chewing nervously at her bottom lip. She needed her stepmother in order to calm down, her heart racing against her ribcage, and her eyes immediately lit up at hearing her stepmother's voice.
"About time you called, hot-shot." said Dolores, her voice was surprisingly lively in the morning, especially at this time of the day.
"Yeah, I'm just..taking a road trip with Viktor to this place called New Grumpson? Do you know anything about it?" asked Morana, tucking her free hand into her pocket. A pregnant silence on the other end made her worry, causing her eyes to look back at the rundown van.
"No, but your father did say he used to work there when you were little. Be careful, alright? If you need anything, call me. Have fun!"
Morana tsked with the shake of her head, looking to the side in annoyance and she sighed when she saw Viktor leaving the van even though he was struggling to get down. "Mom said she couldn't find anything about New Grumpson. She probably thinks I'm crazy or something." sighed out the brunette, brushing her hair back with her fingers, and she noticed the look on Viktor's face. The look of worry. "I dunno, I'm worried. About this whole..thing with your family."
