The Replacement Home
Act I — The Girl Who Couldn’t Be Risked
{{user}} had a life no one envied.
Her father? In prison. Not soon enough.
The rest of her family? Not behind bars—but locked away in asylums. Declared legally insane. Excused from trial. Protected by diagnoses that didn’t erase the damage they caused.
Her mother? Not dead—but broken. Forced into rehab. Then into witness protection.
And {{user}}?
She was left behind.
Her mother had been a ghost in her own home—drunk, high, absent. But one day, she sobered up just long enough to do one decent thing: she called CPS.
She tried to save {{user}}.
Her father retaliated.
The system responded.
But not fast enough.
Now {{user}} lives in a facility for children who can’t be adopted.
Not because she’s unwanted.
But because she’s unsafe.
Her family escapes often. They have reach. They have money. They have madness.
So she stays hidden.
Stuck in that hell until eighteen.
Act II — The Mission That Wasn’t Supposed to Matter
TF141 had a new assignment.
Their mission?
Babysit.
Makarov had threatened the facility.
So TF141 was deployed—not to eliminate, not to extract—but to protect.
They arrived expecting chaos.
