Frostfall (Leonardo X Female Reader)

The Saviours

"You are all dismissed." The principal's voice echoed through the megaphone in the damaged hallways of the school.

Students rushed out of the school, hurrying back to their domiciles after this frightening event. You and Michael looked for Jeremy and thankfully found him safe and sound. The three of you then began walking home however you told them you were going ahead to look for the red-head and they nodded, wishing you the best. Running through the halls, you spotted her and hugged her from behind which startled her.

"Hey!" You chirped.

"Hey yourself, Y/N!" April replied with a smile before turning around to face you.

"I couldn't find you during that freaky invasion, what happened?" You asked, wondering if she would tell you the truth.

"I uh... I was able to hide long enough for it to pass." She lied which disappointed you. You knew she got captured by the Kraang. However you didn't know how she escaped nor how the city was saved. "Pretty weird huh? Aliens?"

"Yeah, definitely." You nodded.

"Well, we should get back home, dad's been pretty worried lately."

"Yeah that's understandable." You agreed before following her out of the school.

Walking through the streets of New York, passing by people who were celebrating the end of the invasion, you both stopped at a bubble tea shop and ordered your favourite bubble tea. You both continued to make your way back home, all whilst looking around the vivid city. Grabbing your keys, you opened the door of the O'Neil apartment and went inside the dark room. You switched on the lights and April called out for her father, listening for any noises that could indicate his presence. Shuffling and footsteps could be heard from the rooms above and soon, Kirby came rushing down, engulfing you and April in a huge hug.

"Are you both okay?" He asked.

"We're fine, dad." April said. "Are you?"

"Could be better." He sighed, letting go of you and April. "I had to cancel my night shift to make sure you were both okay."

"It's okay Kirby. You know us, we're tough bitches." You chuckled, wrapping your arm around April's shoulders. The red head giggled at your profanity whilst Kirby rolled his eyes in amusement.

"You should both get to bed." Kirby said, leading you both upstairs and you went to your room.

Placing your bag on the floor next to your desk, you fell forward on your bed, burying your face in the covers of the warm and soft fabric. The event replayed in your mind; the Kraang entering, the screams, the gun fires and explosions, everything echoed inside your mind. The thought of it happening again scared you, you didn't want anyone hurt, much less your friends and family.

Speaking of family, you had been living with the O'Neils since you were 6 years old or so. Your father, as Kirby described, was a scientist and he had found breakthrough answers to impossible questions. However, apparently his constant research led him to his own death. He had disappeared from the world in an instant and no one was ever able to find him. Your father was close friends with Kirby and the red headed man was heartbroken when he couldn't find his friend. Kirby made a promise to take care of you and your mother and although he had done a great job with you. Your mother had not been so lucky. Since you were born, she had struggled with terminal cancer and after 6 years of fighting, she had lost the battle. You remembered feeling so broken. Not only had you lost your father, you had lost your mother as well. And so, Kirby O'Neil had taken you under his wing and had cared for you for until now and the future. Kirby was like a father to you and you were like his daughter. April had become your sister. What was curious to you was why Kirby hadn't officially adopted you yet. Y'know, the whole filling up papers and telling the government that you were his child now.
