Falling - Benny and Nina - An Adapted In The Heights Roleplay (COMPLETE)

100 - Falling Safes

When they appeared from the outside door, Benny ran and pulled them both into his arms. "Oh my god, you're okay. I was so worried about you Usnavi. Let's get over to Camilla's and sit down with her and talk about everything. She needs to know what's going on here." He stood back and saw his leg, "shit, he kicked you. Okay let's hurry and you can explain there. I don't like waiting here in the streets."

While they walked, Nina replied to Benny, "I kicked him far more than he kicked Usnavi.That's for sure."

"Nina, you do realize that's only going to antagonize him more." Benny said wrapping his arm around her waist.

"I don't care. I have enough negative energy toward him to last a lifetime."

"Okay then babe. Honestly as long as you are safe, and Usnavi and your mom are safe then I don't care. If he hurt any of you seriously, I'd lose it. I don't know what I'd do with myself. If I can't protect you, then there's not much point in me being here."

"Oh, she definitely lost it in there," Usnavi said, still in awe.

"Since when were you such a feisty person, I'd better not get on your bad side."

"Always. There are just few people who can actually make me angry."

"I'm glad I'm not one of them then." Benny said with a giggle as they walked up the stairs towards the door. Benny knocked once they arrived and stood back so he was in line with Nina, arm still around her waist.

"Just be glad I didn't decide to beat one of you up over the years. I could have done it easily, despite the size difference. I am a small fiery ball of rage."

Camilla opened the door, "Come in," she said, stepping to the side.

Benny giggled. "You're so cute. I love you." He kissed the top of her head as they walked in. "Hey Camilla." Benny said once inside.

"Hey mom," Nina said, while Usnavi greeted her as well.

Camilla looked the three up and down and saw the already purple and forming bruise on Usnavi's leg. She sighed and said, "What happened to you three?"

"Kevin." Benny said simply, looking down at the floor.

Camilla worriedly said, "Are either of you hurt?" Nina smirked and said, "Far from it."

"He kicked Usnavi on the leg. I didn't go anywhere near him, too scared he'd kill me and Nina's not be injured physically." Benny sat down at their kitchen table followed by all the others.

Nina spoke in third person, "Nina's not hurt mentally either."

"Benny is though, and from the shouting I was able to hear, I have a feeling Usnavi might be as well."

"If I'm not talking about this, yes, I am mentally unstable. But this didn't trigger anything for me. And Benny, how are you hurt mentally when you didn't even go in there?" Nina questioned.

Usnavi added, "I'm fine. The only time I was really scared was when Nina reached out for my hand, and that was only because I was afraid that she was going to beat me up too."

Camilla looked at him confusedly. "You too? Did Nina beat someone up?"

Nina looked at the floor, suddenly not confident anymore. "Yeah, I beat up Kevin after he kicked 'Snavi."

Camilla looked at her degradingly. "I know you don't like him, Nina, but you shouldn't just beat people up because they aren't of your liking."

Nina took a deep breath, still flustered. "I didn't beat him up because I didn't like him mom, though that is very true. He keeps calling Benny a beast and he kicked Usnavi in the shin. I'm not going to stand for that. I did what I had to do."
