HyperLaser had never considered having a child. He was a Blackrock mercenary. He had lost all his friends, all his family. To risk feeling that pain of losing a loved one again? No, he wouldn't take that risk.

But when he saw you - all alone, small, helpless, fragile, but still trying to fight for your life - his body just refused to listen to his mind. His brain was screaming at him that he shouldn't be tied to a child, but his heart was breaking at the thought of leaving you out in the cold to fend for yourself. HyperLaser vaguely remembered wrapping you in his jacket and carrying you to his home.

You had been living in his house ever since. Hyperlaser could have given you up to an orphanage, but something in him wouldn't let him. And after a while, he seemed to understand why. You were so much like his dead best friend. Just as energetic and reckless. It was like you were a little version of them. This is probably why Hyperlaser is so attached to you.

Hyperlaser tiredly opened the front door. A simple "I'm home!" and he heard familiar footsteps. The sight of you and his cat - Princess - erased all his worries. you and Princess are really the reason why he tries. Hyperlaser crouched down, beckoning you to him

"Hello kiddo."
