    Summary

    The woman crouches down, long hair piled up into a haphazard bun during the time he had looked away. Her eyes are level with his. “Don’t worry, Kabuto. Shimura Memorial Orphanage is a good place. If we can’t find your parents, you can stay here, okay?”

    An orphanage.

    He is in an orphanage and, he looks down at his hands with a familiar hollow ache in his chest, and he is a child.

    He is dead, and he is in an orphanage, and he is a child.

    Kabuto laughs and laughs and laughs.

    ...

    Or, a deeply unstable Root graduate with no concept of selfhood and only the most tenuous grasp of what sanity might be supposed to look like in sterile lab conditions makes friends, does his best to figure out how independence is supposed to work, terrifies a lot of responsible adults (and less responsible "peers") who really just want to help, and fends off “I can fix him” attempts on all sides (reciprocating with an “I can make him worse” aoe aura). Depressing introspection and unfortunate perspective gaps are only to be expected. This is the best Kabuto's mental health has been ... ever, and the eighth panic attack Hizashi has had this week.

    Summary

    “You had my baby?” Superman asks, tilting in the air and still staring at Experiment Thirteen, as if he's somehow forgotten both how much kryptonite Lex owns and how much kryptonite he keeps specifically in this office. “While I was dead. You had my baby while I was dead.”

    . . . alright then, Lex thinks again, both eyebrows raising this time.

    “I really wouldn’t put it that way, personally,” he says. “Also, I don’t recall saying it was in any way yours.”

    Summary

    “My name is Yue Qingyuan,” he says, as if Shen Jiu is someone to be introduced to. His gaze on Shen Jiu is - intent, almost frighteningly so. Unblinking. “Are you really a servant here? Or a slave?”

    “Ah - I believe I can find that out for you--” Lord Xu is saying, already waving over his head servant, and Shen Jiu is so irritated that the man just seems to assume that Shen Jiu can’t answer for himself like he’s a dog or some other beast that he speaks up.

    “A slave,” he answers, and Yue Qingyuan nods as if this isn’t surprising.

    Then he turns towards Lord Xu and he says, “I will buy him.”

    -

    A rich and powerful cultivator meets a slave with nothing to his name, and decides to buy him on the spot. Why?

    Airplane Shooting Towards The Sky gets a do-over.

    Aha, that first go was pretty traumatic, but surely everything will be much easier this time! Surely the System won't mess it up for him! Right? Right?
