She’d heard about how her son’s new friend was brilliant and kind of cute and completely awesome, but she knew nothing about his life.

Mrs. Gothel looked up with a start, and for a moment she just stared at the blue boy.
“Oh! You must be Alex… Hello.”
When Mrs. Gothel stared at him, Alex felt himself flush. It was stupid - staring was probably a normal reaction - but he couldn’t help but feel that he was being judged. A freak, an alien, someone she shouldn’t allow her son to hang around...

You won’t. I promise.
[And with that, Glocky pulled him into the kitchen, where a nervous-looking, somewhat older woman stood over a pot of boiling water.]
[Alex gulped and then took a deep breath, trying to work out what to say. Doing his best Polite Smile - thank you for that, Mother - he just took the plunge.]
Uh… O—ollo, Mrs Gothel.
Mrs. Gothel looked...

the-blue-scott asked: [text message] That sounds good. I'll be right there. Thanks, Glocky. <3

A Friend in Need...

When Violet removed her mask — and Glocky could see the look in her eyes; a look of concern — he believed her. He nodded, briefly, then looked between ehr and Alex, trying to figure out what was happening…
And then she gave the order. “Y-Yeah, okay…” Glocky wasn’t sure, even with how scrawny Alex was, that he could restrain him when he was so hysterical, but he...

…Why’re you out here anyways?
I love my mom, but I can’t stay cooped up all the time.
So…you actually live in Metro City?
Yeah. Well, I mean, we just moved here a few days ago. My mom’s work stuff.

Glocky finally saw Violet and… Well, he assumed the worse. He rounded on the girl with a glare.
“Hey! Who are you? Are you the one who was hurting Alex?”
Alex cried out again as something seemed to hook into his mind, keeping him from running any further. Desperate and terrified, he tried to fight it, falling to his knees and gripping...

“Alex…” Glocky takes another step closer, reaching out to his friend. “Alex, it’s okay… You’re safe now… You’re safe.”
He didn’t hear the young woman call for his friend, or see her approach.
Glocky might have begun to soothe him, but he did hear Violet calling and he started at the sound, tense as a bowstring once again. A cry of fear...

”I won’t! I won’t hurt you, you’re my friend,” Glocky insists. “Alex, what happened?”
Alex flinches back from the insistence, the raised voice. “Ps—Psy—Psycho D—Delic, he - I - I tried - but he - he just - I—I couldn’t… I couldn’t fight him!”

Alex just shook his head rapidly, trying to get to his feet so he could run, but tripping over the greenery around them and falling to the ground. He can’t...

Glocky was not too proud to admit that he was tearing up with nerves and frustration when he couldn’t find Alex in the park right away. God, something was scaring him, going to hurt him… Glocky had to protect him.
Finally - finally - he found his friend and raced over to him.
