That girl// a McHanzo child fanfiction

Worries vanish

Cora just tried to ignore the pain in her back while she was lying on her bed. It was early in the morning. The unsafe home was silent. It felt like an hole of sorrow in her chest.
Mr Welsh hit her with his belt for almost an hour when she came home on Christmas night and her back was still hurting after a week or so.
She heard the doorbell rang that morning. Silence as she rolled out of bed and then franatic  footsteps near her door.
When she reached the end of the stairs police was at the door talking to Mr Welsh while Mrs Welsh held her night robe so close to her prominent amount of fat she actually did looked like a plastic bag full of groceries. She was looking at the scene, brows knotted. Her frown went deeper as the conversation went on.
Cora was actually really surprised at how much the woman was resisting without yelling at the cop. She almost looked out of character. Mr Welsh too, his mouth opening wide and closing without sound as the police officer talked. He looked like a fat fish gasping for oxygen out of water.
Mrs Welsh turn her head towards the girl and as soon as she saw her she nearly set her clothes on fire with her stare.
The big woman mouthed an insult Cora didn't want to repeat.

Cora stiffed on her spot as a kind police officer approached her :- Are you Cora Thorton?-
- Yessir- she answered shifting her weight from one foot to the other anxiety creeping up her spine.
-I see. Can you please follow me. By the way my name's Jordan-
- Sure thing- her voice above a whisper as she putted in her hoodie and followed the man to the door. She then slipped on her shoes, she was still in her pajamas but it wasn't that obvious at all, she looked like a girl in yoga pant and hoodie.
-Doctor Angela is going to check on you but first I need to ask you some questions ok? -
-Sure, did did I do something bad?-
- No No, you  didn't but someone told us they did-
He then pointed at Mr and Mrs Welsh who was arguing with the cop.
"Of course she is"

Cora went trough any kind of question that day both during the police officer interview and the doctor's questions. The doctor was pretty nice, she never really feared them but Angela Ziegler was really shooting. She even gave Cora a lollipop.
Cora was still confused. What happened ?
Why did the cop asked if Mr Welsh ever touched her 'inappropriately'?
What did she let the truth slip out so easily?
Why did she admitted he did?
She never told anyone about it. Never in years and now she just said that to a complete stranger? In that moment when she sat down with the police, when they began to ask about the Welsh, when she understood that something bad was going to happen to them she almost felt the sweet revenge filling her sense, but she shook out of it. Her dad always told her that this kind of things lead in bad situations. Still the feeling of control, of finally telling someone how horribly those people treated kid like herself, she felt free from worries and everything slipped out.
But most importantly why did she kept thinking about Hanzo and Jesse all time?

Speaking of which. Dr Ziegler looked up from her paperwork -Hanzo and McCree...Jesse...sorry, are going to keep you safe and sound at their place for a small while-
-Hanzo and Jesse? You know them?-
-Of course! We are friends you see...-
Cora nodded excited "maybe THEY called the cops?"
-I used to know well Jack, Jesse's father , we had almost the same age and we used to hang around a lot I then introduce him to Genji ,Hanzo's brother, and Genji introduced Jesse to Hanzo. They were so cute! And they were crazily crushing one after the other too-
Cora followed the all story with interest, being six she wasn't really experienced with romance but she found it so fascinating to see people loving each other so blindly. Maybe she just craved some of that sweet love.
" wow I'm going to stay with them"
"That's so crazy"
Cora stomach filled with butterflies as she exited the doctor's office and walked in the corridor, struggling to keep up with the blonde women beside her who had her nose stuffed in her paper in pure concentration. She kept walking elegantly between the obstacles in the way without even looking were she was going.
"Impressive"
Cora looked in front of her and saw Jesse standing near a sitting Hanzo. The two were talking. Cora waved and in that moment Jesse looked in her direction.
He smiled widely but his eyes held concern.
-McCree , Shimada-San have you already saw the documents?-
-We did- Hanzo answered sternly.
-I see...I leave you to it then. Take care-
Angela smiled and walked away.
Cora looked up at her new foster parents.
Jesse squatted at her height and so did Hanzo.
-I promise sweetly till we are around nothin' gonna harm ya- Jesse's voice cracked slightly on the last sentence and he smiled at the kid:- we promise watashi no komodo-
Cora tried to hug them both for what her tiny arms could reach and she buried her face between the two men shoulders.
-thank you-
