I ain't never saw so much bull in my life

^Mc pov^

Opening my eye's I see a little light coming through the boarded up windows as it awakens me from my beauty sleep, clearly showing me the dirty state in which I call my new room

"Ayo Aster, get yo light skin ass over here right now" My new caretaker yells from outside the room as I hear them going down the stairs

Ugggghhh

I regret going with these people, I should've just stayed with the matron and the other kids, it would've been better than being with these idiots.

Slamming my head back into my pillow I began to play back how this ever even happened.

*Flashback*

In Metropolis which is currently protected by Superman, resides Aster in a place called Suicide slum, after being taken away from the demon incident he was placed in Midvale Orphanage for his new home as the priest and sister left with the other kids somewhere else.

After being placed there Aster reside there for 3 years until he got adopted by a so called 'gay couple', I was completely fine with it since they looked cool and clean and I wanted to explore outside of the orphanage and kindergarten so I accepted them as my parents and got adopted

Of course life isn't always what you expect and they took me to Suicide Slum which was known for crime and poverty, I was completely devastated once I found out that they were just criminals in need of a little money maker(me), after a few months of my 'adoption' I honestly just adapted to it, the two dudes were pretty cool as they let me get money on every little plot they did.

One was named Troy, he came from New jersey looking for a job only to find nothing aside from better business for his home-made drugs he makes from a child's chemistry set

The other guy is named Dima, he is a Russian immigrant so he could only speak broken English, but let me tell you, man has a body capable to take on at least 3 bears or 15 men with his strength and martial arts, which makes sense since he's basically Troy's bestfriend and bodyguard.

They were pretty chill guys as they treated me right and watched my back which I need since multiple people tried to kidnap or rape me only to be stopped and robbed by the guys.

I could've been ran away but I don't think I would be able to survive getting out of the slum without being killed, kidnapped, raped, or even experimented on. Plus I experienced a lot these few months compared to the 3 years I was in the orphanage

*Flashback end*

Getting up I opened the door to the hallway as I turned to the left to head down to the living room and kitchen, compared to my room the house was cleaner as they just started fixing my room which I got last month since I was deemed old enough and smarter then most(*cough* last *cough*life) to have my room instead of sleeping in Dima's room.

The 2 guys tried to teach me so I just pretended to be a heavenly genius and just learn everything they 'taught' me super quickly which lead them to give me a small splinter of respect

Troy was sitting down in the small living room as he watched the news on the new TV they stole, heading to the kitchen table I see Dima singing a Russian song as he finishes frying some eggs and sausage.

"Protein make body stronk hehe, eat well tiny one" Dima then places it onto a plastic place and places it on the table as I sit at the table

"Thanks Dima"

"Ayo, the food done, my ass is starving Dima" Troy came walking through as he ruffles my hair and sits down

Fixing my hair I was about to say something until Dima interrupted me with his strong accent,

"Yes, sit sit, finished haha" Dima placed 2 more dishes in front of troy and himself as he sits to eat

"Yes sirrrr, uhahah," stabbing into the sausage Troy begins eating the food quickly, me and Dima watch him tear through the just made food in amazement as we question where the food even goes in his lanky body

'Clearly his metabolism must be hella strong to keep him this skinny'

Going back to my own food, the 2 of them make some small talk about some rumors like new villains popping up and some new business opportunities that could pop up, eating my food I just listen until Troy gets up and leave only to come back with a big sheet of blueprints

'Seems like they have a new plan to make money'

"Alright boys, now I know that we haven't done much as our money flow only comes from my 'candy' production but recently I got some new info, came some of my boys off the street about a new unsecure Lexcorp warehouse which has some nice goodies that would be good for us, now I got the building plans from my black brother who works as security

The plan is gonna happen tonight, with you Aster to go through a vent and check out inside the warehouse, open the back delivery door for the van and let us in so Dima could get so loot quickly and I'll drive us out"

Explaining his plan my head was barreling through the possibilities as the paranoia I got from my last began acting up

"Wait, so you want me", points towards my face, " a little child to enter into a well known companies security and help you steal?!?"

"Well, yeah, you did this before, Me and Dima believe in you to do this, plus the building isn't guarded so we believe you can easily do this", " Though if you don't want to do this you don't have to, your just a little kid"

'Wow, he really played the little kid card, damn my age and little kid mentality, it's really influencing me right now, should I do it, should I not, hmmmmm..."

After a minute or 2 I gave in of course, my child self winning over my somewhat teen mind as I wanted to be truly respected and accepted

"Ok, I can do it"

"HAHAHAHA" Dima gets up and picks me up from my chair as he laughs and throws me up, " Me never doubted tiny one"

"Hehe, I'm glad you accepted" As I flew up and down I felt pretty happy as the three of us smiled and laughed at what's to come, hopefully this doesn't go to shit as I'm somewhat happy about my little team.
