Natsu arrived back to his new home-frankly a disheveled mess his dry hair was a total mess from his black hood and blue oni mask that he has been wearing for the last few hours. Since before that meeting with his fellow orphans.
Or perhaps Natsu will soon call them his fellow murderers. Natsu twisted the handle of the house open, and he entered into the house. Natsu held the oni mask with his free hand, and he used his free hand to close the door behind him. And the moment he did, Natsu crumpled into himself. He folded forward as tears fell from his one golden eye, and he presses his forehead against the door.
Natsu started with strained sobs as he tries to hold back his tears at the thoughts and what they all said to him, they needed to get vengeance, that those people needed to make them pay, make all of those at St. Marta's pay, but Natsu thought they meant through exposing them and burning the place down without hurting anybody- but- but-
Natsu couldn't hold back his tears anymore as they freely fell to his knees, dropping his mask to the ground to grab his face to try in vain to hold the tears back. But despite everything that place has done to him - despite all the awful people he met over the years- he held onto his hopes and dreams for a kinder and better tomorrow. But these people- these orphans who are just like him couldn't see that - all they could see was anger and violence. And that's how they think they could fix this - how they could fix themselves somehow and make themselves feel better, by inflicting pain on to the people who caused the pain, but that won't help that won't make the pain go away.
Natsu was so upset, but right now, he was so scared and angry at himself for letting himself get involved in all of this pointless misery and death all Because he wanted a temporary reverie from his misguided anger. At a place that couldn't hurt him anymore.
Natsu didn't know what to do, but cry and hope his tears bring him some relief from the rising embers of his quirk that felt like it was about to erupt into a maelstrom of a frozen blaze. Natsu needed help, he needed somebody to help him, but he didn't know where to go to, he was scared.

[nospaces] [attr="class","finn1"] [attr="class","finnimg"] [attr="class","finnbox"] [attr="class","finntag"]it's show time! [attr="class","finntext"]
Natsu wanted to go out and Finn wanted the boy to rest assured at how much he trusted him, making sure that he felt as though he didn't need to lie in order to get his way. They could compromise disagreements and he emphasized the importance of keeping his phone on hand and calling if anything came up. All he wanted was to be kept in the loop about where he'd been, what was going on when something came up. A reasonable request so that he could know his son was safe, that wasn't so much to ask for, was it? With the radio silence falling upon his communications with his child, it was worrisome to not know why he was running later than he mentioned.
[break][break]
Was he giving Natsu too much freedom?
[break][break]
The boy got in trouble due to bullies not too long ago, but he stood by how Natsu wasn't some instigating little shit, not one to start fights, but certainly seemed like the type to finish them if push came to shove. Natsu had a good heart and seemed to know the difference between right and wrong, good and bad, so of course he was given the benefit of a doubt. What if that annoying principal's son did something to hurt his baby boy, or did something terrible to make it so he couldn't come back home? Well...there might be more then just words if something such as a kidnapping or injuring his child to the point where he couldn't make it back home took place. Usually delightful, upbeat and happy...he was feeling some unsavory emotions that made it feel as though he needed to sharpen his claws to grasp the reigns of destiny once more.
[break][break]
Life was different, things changed, he had a son to protect and nurture.
[break][break]
No longer did he only have the radio station as his familial gap filler, Finn couldn't let him down after the child was let down so many times...this was supposed to be his happily ever after. This was supposed to be the end all of being left all alone with no one viewing him as a beloved and important member of a family. There would be nothing but grief to haunt the man if Natsu never came home one day. Maybe he should be more strict and firm for his own good...
[break][break]
Calling the police to look for him might stir even more trouble, possibly even get him taken away as a form of negligence on his part. Leaning against the counter, it'd really only been a few minutes past the time Natsu told him he'd be back. That child was sharp and so good at keeping a schedule, being on time and this time he wasn't. So of course he was getting worried because of how unusual it was...maybe he wasn't a suitable parent after all. Maybe Fuji was right, telling him he's too whimsical and carefree to be a responsible father to anyone...
[break][break]
Taking the last sip of his tea, he was feeling like damn, maybe I should have installed that GPS on his phone...and he sure as hell would if Natsu came back home! No, you know what? He was going to look for him, seek him out and bring him back, use his quirk to pull as many tricks up his sleeves to save him if push came to shove. Hopefully he could use his influential strings to pull the odds against him in his favor if legal formalities arose...he didn't give a shit, he just wanted to save his son and make sure the child was safe. So he set the cup down and headed toward the door, but when her heard something approach it, he slowly...but carefully made his way toward it.
[break][break]
The scent in the air was very much Natsu...but something seemed a little off...? Tears...? Those big ol' fluffy ears took in the sound of his child's cries and the radio's Deer Hatter rushed over to the distraught child and knelt about a meter away from him. Finn wasn't about to just invade his personal space...it might make things worse, the people who brought him home mentioned how he seemed a little triggered by touch. As much as he wanted to hug the distraught child and let him sob until his heart was content...his fear of doing more harm than good was a heavy enough weight to hold him back. "...Natsu, please tell me what happened and if someone hurt you...I will make sure they won't do it again."
[break][break]
Mess with his child once, shame on you...it's time to pay.

And his help arrived with his guardian, his adopter, Finn Halloran. Natsu at first tried to speak- but all that came out was a mess of sobs and gargled words all that Natsu could coherently say between sobs was "Saint's Marta", "Fire", and finally "kill." Natsu turns around to look at Finn with a scared expression as he hiccuped from his intense sobbing. Natsu pressed his back against the door as he made himself as small as possible with his knees pressed to his chest and his unburnt hand pressing against his one golden eye trying in vain to make the tears stop.
Natsu was scared of what Finn will say, what he's going to do to him when he finds out. Is he going to dispose of him like every other guardian has done to him before? Natsu was scared that despite the man never once hitting him, or yelling at him, and him always trying to make him feel safe and happy, that it was all a facade to try and have the perfect child that he isn't. Natsu has been such a horrid and awful child, Natsu does not deserve to be called the son of such a good man. Which is why right now right here, that he wants Finn to prove Natsu's fear and anxiety that it was right despite how much it would hurt, despite the disappointment, it was better than the guilt bubbling in his belly and chest like a flame consuming him from the inside out.
Natsu sobs became softer as he dug his face into his knees as he asked- no he begged Finn his question more coherently, "Please- Finn I don't know what to do, I'm scared, I'm angry, I'm I- I don't want to hurt people!" Natsu said as his sobbing came back, please- please let him be an awful person- please let Finn abandon him so he wouldn't have to drag an innocent man into the abyss that is saint Marta's

There are things that many consider as a taboo in their life, that being first and foremost how one does not simply mess with a parent's child and harbor the anticipation of getting away with it. Whoever did this to his son was going to pay...he didn't know how, he didn't know when...but soon enough was the goal. That would have to do until he could figure out the answer behind this mystery with what was going on with his son right now. Find a way to make his child smile again...or at least not be in so much agony.
[break][break]
Something about what the boy who had been covered in scars tried to say between sobs stirred something within...a feeling he hadn't recognized, like a friend who had changed over the years. You knew who it was, but something was different. Finn knew that he was the sort who wasn't one for physical contact, so that would be at his own terms...even though it actually pained the man who called himself the boy's father in his heart. Alright...something about Saint Marta's, death and a fire...he wasn't a detective...but he was an actor who did plenty of improvisational theater. Not to mention write his own radio plays.
[break][break]
As he slowly stood up, he quietly moved the stand near the door and took its place by sitting next to the broken child, leaning against the wall. What sort of story would he have written with those themes...? Perhaps a murder mystery and the killer burns the place down with fire somehow to cover their tracks? Yes...that's a rather common theme, even with regular crimes all across the media. Hn...but no one broadcasted anything about Saint Marta's catching on fire and burning down, plus what business did anyone have burning down an orphanage?
[break][break]
Slowly turning his head to rest his gaze upon the boy, he slowly procured a handkerchief from his pocket for the child, trying his best to be the calm in this wild storm of emotions.
[break][break]
Wait...
[break][break]
Hold on just a goddamn second...
[break][break]
Was some sick bastard trying to make his child harm, possibly kill people? Oh ho hooo, that wasn't going to fly...not on his watch. Calm...stay calm... "Shhh...Natsu, it's alright...please take a deep breath and tell me, why would you hurt anyone? Everything yo do in life is a choice...you don't have to hurt anyone..." Furrowing his brows as he smoothly spoke those words, he carried on while trying to sort out the right words to say, "Now tell me, Natsu...what or who would ever make you feel like you had to harm anyone, hm...?" Hopefully the boy trusted him enough to share...this way he could figure out some sort of solution and have a hand in aiding him.
[break][break]
So far, though?
[break][break]
It was starting to feel like he couldn't go to the authorities....

No. Of all the times to be wrong for all the times, his gut instinct wanted to be incorrect. For him to be right that humanity isn't inherently evil for there to be decent humans-decent adults in this world despite everything he has gone through. Why the one time he wanted to be wrong, he was right. And knowing Finn as he does- he will drag him down into the abyss that is St. Marta's, and Natsu knew there was nothing he can do to stop him from wanting to protect and save him from this black mark on his soul.
Natsu dug his face sunk deeper into the safety of his knees as he tried to catch his breath, and as he looks up at Finn, he saw that he sat next down to him and was handing him a tissue. Natsu grabbed the tissue ever so slowly and cautiously, hoping for-begging for Finn to pull it away from him ever so cruelly. So that his hopes that Finn was an awful person so he would have no regrets. But when Natsu's hand grabbed the soft cloth ever so gently and as he pulls it from Finn's is hands and he looks at the cloth in his hands-as a new flash flood emotions took over.
And Natsu cried into the cloth as he apologized-no he begs for Finn's forgiveness. "Finn-I'm so awful for being such an awful son-for being such an awful person for going to such places behind your back-for causing you so many troubles at school and being-being-being- getting-involved with such awful people" Natsu was a mess now as he sobs loudly into the cloth in his face before going on some more. "I didn't mean to get involved with them-I didn't know who they were- I thought they were like me- Hurt-scared-angry- but they wanted to hurt people-kill people- burn down the pain to try and erase it- to make the pain go away-I was being so selfish-so stupid-flames- don't-I'm sorry-" Natsu tried to speak coherently but instead it was all a mess as he drops the cloth and unexpected of everybody who knew the boy, and his mistrust of adults and his hate of them touching him.
Grabbed onto Finn as much as he could and hugged him a like scared child-for right now that's what he is- a scared child. "Dad-Please-I'm sorry." Natsu didn't realize he said it- but he did. And for once the words felt right in his mouth. Finn was his father-his dad. The thing stopping the last bit of his kindness and love for others flickering alive. And right now Finn was fanning the flames within to keep being good.

IT'S SHOWTIME!
Did his son truly believe the words fumbling out of his mouth...? It was unfortunate, but it sounded as though the child truly thought those words held the world's worth of water in his very statement and...it stung to listen to the boy rip away at himself. Yet...he let him get it out of his system...let it flow and run its course so that he could take the weight off of his shoulders and soul, hopefully finding a sense of solace and peace. One ear remained directed toward Natsu so that he didn't miss a beat, the other ear swiveled about to keep fixated on any suspicious sounds...just in case someone tailed his son. It sounded as though his hands were slowly getting sullied and...it was unfortunate.
No child should be put in his position...
Not a single little soul such as his should have felt like there wasn't someone he could count on in a time of crisis...
...except someone as powerless as himself, Finn Halloran...a man who had been there for all of his listeners, yet unable to be there as much as he desired for his own child. Without a clear conscience...he couldn't stop his child from doing what he felt was right. After all..the boy would most likely live in regret that he stood idly by rather than doing something to make amends...possibly even break out of the house and go about his business. He'd been that age before and yearned for an escape from the life he lived in the past, but instead of running...hours and moments without distraction were usually filled with sleep. Living a life that wasn't his, one which only existed within the confines of dreams and nightmares...
As his own life improved, the show of dreams came to an end and all he knew is that the protagonist of those moments found their happily ever after. Clearly...he still had a ways to go to make his reality much better, didn't he? Now he was the father of a young soul who counted on him, relied on him...and he felt as though he wasn't completely up to the task. Unable to protect his own son and stop him from placing himself in a troublesome situation...he...didn't even have the skill set to offer taking his place. Watching the cloth slip passed the poor child's fingers...he had to do something...anything to make sure his son wasn't alone in this.
A pro hero would rip the two apart if they knew...
As his son rushed toward him and brought him into an embrace, the way he was held...he couldn't do that...he couldn't take that risk...the pros would need to stay out of this. There were others who would uphold the honor of justice, those who the pro heroes and law treated like criminals when the system didn't work. They were the ones he'd have to rely on...weren't they...vigilantes. With enough time, he could sift through rumors and find someone reliable to at least be there and keep an eye on his son, support the cause of rescuing others at the very least. Whatever was going on, it was going to be a planned attack...that much was certain.
Holding his child close, he closed his eyes and spoke gently...softly..."It's alright...you're forgiven, we'll work together and find a solution...I'll make sure of it..." There was no way on this green earth he'd let this child face this alone...he'd stay true to his word and craft some sort of solution...
