I stay silent in a closet, hoping that none of the older kids would find me here. Everything has been scary for me ever since my family died. When they died, I was forced into an orphanage since all my relatives blamed me for their deaths. I was only 6 at the time, and now here I am, 9 years old, hiding from the older kids. Tears stream down my face as the sound of smashing glass and yells echo through out the house. "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU! COME OUT NOW OR I'LL HIT HARDER THEN I DID YESTERDAY YOU WORTHLESS BITCH!" I hear my Danny yell for me. I shiver in fear as stomping of footsteps got closer to the room I was in. More glass broke as Carl helps him search for me.

"Come on (Y/N), if you come out now, I'll make sure Danny doesn't hurt you so much... BECAUSE I'LL BREAK YOUR LIMBS WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU! YOU BETTER CLEAN UP THIS MESS BEFORE THE OWNER COMES BACK AND I GET EVEN ANGRIER!" Carl yells, banging on the door. I sob quietly as cover my ears, trying to block them out. The sound of objects breaking continues on for what felt like forever until they all went silent, hearing the front door open. "Miss Abbey, (Y/N) made a mess around the house again! We tried to find him, but he's hid somewhere before we could make him clean up his mess!" I hear Danny say to the owner as Carl agrees with him.

They act innocent in front of her every time they do this, I'm not surprised that she believes them since they are her favourites out of all the children here. It would be nice if the other kids would help me, but they were to scared of Danny and Haydn to speak the truth, leaving me with all the blame. Tears continue to fall as Miss Abbey tells all the children to head to their rooms so she could look for me easier. Footsteps nearing the closet door, it opens up and force out with her pulling my hair. Throwing me to the ground, Miss Abbey stands above me with a glare. "(Y/N), I've tried to let you stay in this place for as long as I could, but this is the last time I'm dealing with you. I want you out of this place in the next five minutes before I change my mind and send you to the basement with nothing to eat for days." Miss Abbey says in a dark tone, giving me no second thoughts.

With my head down, I shuffle to my room to gather what little belongings I have. With my small bag in hand, Miss Abbey kicks me out the door and slams it shut. Not looking back, I sigh while rubbing my face. "Why does everything bad happen to me..." I mumble under my breath, feeling all my fear disappear into sadness. Walking along the sidewalk I search around for shelter of any kind since night was approaching fast. People didn't really seem to care, most were rushing to get to places they need to be. Without even watching where I was going, I end up at some abandoned apartment complex. Peeking inside, I find the place was trashed and graffiti across the walls. "Well, this place will have to do..." I yawn quietly, dragging myself throughout the building until I found a room with a bed in it. Laying down, I drift off to sleep, not knowing I was being watched.

*Genji's POV*

This mission was hard to handle, but I got it finished quickly. "McCree, I've completed my mission. Have you taken out your target yet?" I question into my earpiece, only to get his normal cocky voice blurting out of it. "Yup, just killed the bastard right as you called in. I'm guessin' you must be ready to leave, or you gonna take on that last target we were given as an option?" "Of course I am, but I'd have to stay hidden until they arrive. Seem to being into illegal weapon trading with Talon within Synago distract..." I stop talking as I hear a door open within the building I was hiding in. "You okay Genji? You went silent suddenly, you getting ready to fight already?" "I'm not sure... I heard a door open, someone is here." I say, hiding in the shadows with my wakizashi unsheathed.

Within a short amount of time I grew impatient to whoever enter the intruder was until small footsteps was heard. I became confused as a tiny figure enters the room and shuffles over to the bed. Laying down, the child fell asleep fast, hugging their bag. "Its not of any danger, but it turns out to be a child..." "A child? You sure you're not imagin' it?" "No, its an actual child. What am I supposed to do with it? Take them back to their family? I have to do this mission, I don't have time for this." I whisper angrily at McCree as he sighs. "For get about the mission, we can do it later. For now, you are going to have to bring that child back home. Winston will understand the situation." McCree says before hanging up in me.

Sighing I place my weapon back and walk up to the child. He seems to be fast asleep, but was in distress as if having a nightmare. The signs of tears and bruise marks was all over his arms, making me wonder if his parents did this to them. "Child, wake up." I say as I grab the boys arm gently. The boy opens his eyes slowly, flinching at the sight of me looming over him. "P-Please don't hurt m-me." The boy shivers in fear as I kneel before him. "I'm not going to hurt you... What is your name?" I question him, trying to act calm. "M-My name is (Y/N)..." "What a wonderful name you have. Can you tell me how you got here?" "I was forced out of the orphanage because of some other boys trying to hurt me... They accused me of breaking stuff in the house and Miss Abbey had enough of me..." (Y/N) says, looking down at his small bag.

I felt a pang of sorrow for (Y/N) and took his hand. "Well, how about you staying with me and my family? We would be able to protect and care for you. Everyone would love you." I chuckle as he looks at me in surprise. "R-Really?" "Yes, I'm sure of it." "Th-Thank you!" (Y/N) hugs me and burys his face into my shoulder. Tear came out of his eyes as he cries. Patting (Y/N)'s back, I pick him up along with his bag, contacting McCree to come pick me up. "Took you long enough. You take the kid back home?" McCree askes while I got nervous. "N-No, uh, I decided that it would be best if he'd stay with us. I'll explain everything when you arrive." "WHAT!?!" I hear McCree yell as I hung up on him. "This is going to be a long night..."
