Hybrids were on the rise as a status symbol for the rich and powerful. Illegal labs were found to be mixing human and animal dna together to create hybrids. Of course the government was quick to shut down these labs and many shelters opened for the hybrids to live, but due to their animalistic behavior they didn’t have the same rights as humans which led to abuse within the system as these shelters started to adopt the hybrids out to the wealthy socialites who viewed them as a status symbol.

Hybrids were common to see at galas with their “masters.” Female hybrids seemed to be favored over male hybrids as many of the wealthy men found them desirable.

Bruce hated it, hated that laws had not yet been put in place to protect hybrids, but he had an image to maintain, and that meant that he needed to adopt a hybrid.

He rationalized it of course, this certainly wasn’t the first time he was adopting someone- heck, he had many children he’s adopted over the years. It wasn’t like he was going to abuse this hybrid, he was going to give them a better home until better laws and policies were put in place- laws and policies he supported.

Bruce just hummed, he hated this.

“Our facility houses the most hybrids in the country, all taken from labs around the world” he continued on as he led the Billionare past some kennels.

The living conditions here were terrible
