Outcast-1

Takron Galtos-home to the universe's most ruthless criminals, animals with no concept of what remorse is. That goes to show how this endless void is no place for a child to be born in... and yet it happened.

We will skip over the sad love story that brought together a Tamaranian Scientist and a Kryptonian General, only to be outcast by their races and thrown into this hellhole.

It was fine in the beginning since the lovers had each other, but of course this didn't last long. I mean how could it?

For his wife and unborn child to live, the general took a last stand against a group of prisoners chasing them. The scene of his body being impaled by spears and knives was the last memory he left his wife.

With nothing but her child to keep her going, the young Tamaranian woman took refuge within a cave. Food and water was scarce but she didn't give up, and in her frail condition she gave birth to a healthy baby boy.

The poor woman used the last of her strength to carry out the act of engraving the baby's name in the stone walls of the cave(hoping that someone would find him), and the image of her newborn child's face was what she took with her to the afterlife.

"Waaaaaa!"

The baby cried as if knowing what had just happened to his mother, but it is most likely hungry.

This lasted for hours until a passing bounty hunter and his crew, whose job was transporting escaped prisoners back to this planet heard these desperate cries.

"No way is that what I think it is..." the bounty hunter was about to ignore the cries, thinking that it was just some prisoners planning an ambush but they seemed a bit too realistic.

*Click* the bounty hunter loaded his shotgun to be ready for whatever was waiting inside the cave.

What he expected to find was a bunch of ruthless criminals, trying to lure others by faking baby cries. What actually did greet him was the rugged, half naked body of a woman with a crying baby in her arms.

"Fuck me sideways..."

The man could tell that the woman wasn't like the other prisoners on this planet, since she didn't have one piece of weaponry on her and sported no tattoos. The clothes he did recognise as being from Tamaran, and everything else was self explanatory.

"Exiled on this planet most probably for the kid, huh." He said with admiration for the woman.

What next caught his attention was the messy writing carved on the wall, which said 'Raxdos Cor-Sen'.

After pondering for a few more minutes and ignoring the baby's crying he nearly stumbled backwards in realisation.

"A Tamaranian first name with a Kryptonian surname... that's a new one."

The baby pretty much screamed trouble, and the bounty hunter was about to leave him there until the crying stopped all of a sudden. He looked back and saw the baby looking in his direction with curious eyes.

"Don't look at me like that..."

The more he looked at the babies eyes the harder did he find it to leave.

"Arghhhh! Fuck it, when did I start caring about taking risks?" The man asked himself and picked up the child, and as he did a silver necklace dropped from the dead mother's hand.

It seemed like the last thing she left for her child, a keepsake for when the boy grows older. The bounty hunter picked it up and wrapped it around the baby's waist as they were leaving the cave.

"Lobo, were the fuck did you go?" Asked a member of the bounty hunter's crew.

"Yeah man, disappearing into a cave like that. What poss-"

The crew soon shut up once they saw what Lobo was holding and they couldn't believe their eyes.

*Lobo picked up a kid?!* They screamed internally and stared at their stone hearted leader with shocked expressions.

"I found this critter in the cave, his mother died giving birth to him. It just seemed wrong to leave him on this planet, even if his parents were criminals that doesn't mean that he should suffer for it."

The mercenary crew member looked at each other and nodded in agreement with what Lobo was saying.

"You've already got your hands full with work, are you sure you can raise a kid in the meantime?"

"Don't worry about me, I picked up the kid and that means I gotta take care of it myself. Now let's hurry the fuck up and leave this shit-show."

As they were walking towards their ship Lobo noticed one more interesting fact about the baby in his arms- his eyes are a different colour to each other. The boy's right eye had the typical emerald green found on Tamaran while his left eye was a bright red.

"You're one very lucky bugger, you know that?" The boy giggled in his tiny form at Lobo's sentence.

"Of course you don't..." Lobo replied and continued playing with the kid as his crew was leaving the notorious prison planet.
