Helluva Boss X Reader (Season 1)

CHAPTER 93: WAIT, WHAT?

Y/N stared up at the orange sky, completely mesmerized. She'd visited Earth a handful of times before, but she'd never really stopped to wonder why the sky kept changing the way it did. Warm shades slowly spread across the horizon, and she couldn't look away.

As she watched, she absentmindedly tugged at one of her tiny human ears before leaning over and gently tapping the woman sitting in front of her on the shoulder.

Y/N: Excuse me... why does the sky keep changing colors? Shouldn't it just stay blue?

The young woman turned around, looking completely baffled.

Human: ...What?

A pair of hands grabbed Y/N by the shoulders and pulled her back into her seat.

Blitzø: Kid!

The imp leaned over the seat, his oversized clown wig completely blocking Y/N's view as he let out an awkward laugh.

Blitzø: Sorry! We just... never let her outta the... the... uh... basement.

He casually sat back down as if nothing had happened.

The woman stared after him for a few silent seconds.

Human: ...What?

Blitzø immediately grabbed his apprentice by the shoulders again. His ridiculous party glasses hid his eyes, but the tone of his voice was enough for Y/N to know he actually meant it.

Blitzø: Squirt, ya can't just start chattin' up random people. This ain't a vacation—we gotta keep a low profile!

Y/N lowered her head, folding her hands neatly in her lap.

Y/N: Sorry, dad.

Barely a second later, she'd already forgotten the scolding and looked back up.

Y/N: Wait... we get to have vacations?

Before Blitzø could answer, the tour guide's voice echoed through the bus.

Tour Guide: And to your right is the home of famous inventor, Lyle Lipton!

Tourists: Ooooh!

Everyone leaned toward the windows, phones already in hand to snap pictures.

Blitzø lowered his ridiculous party glasses for a better look, dropping the conversation without another thought. When Y/N noticed Moxxie pulling out a pair of binoculars, she immediately copied him and peeked outside as well.

A massive mansion towered before them behind an ornate iron fence trimmed with gold. At its center stood an enormous front gate shaped like a dollar sign.

Blitzø: Let's do it, gang!

The three imps pulled their hidden weapons from beneath their disguises and leapt off the moving bus. They cleared the fence in a single bound, landing on the other side with almost perfect synchronization.

Millie: Let's kill this rich guy!

The three of them took off running toward the mansion while the tour guide calmly pointed after them.

Tour Guide: And here you'll find three tacky stalkers about to attempt a murder! Things like this could happen to famous people all the time!

Tourists: Ooooh!

Several tourists immediately raised their phones again, eager to get more pictures.

Y/N: Ooooh!... Oh! No— Wait for me!
