Got two likes, I've officially been encouraged (under the cut bc I'm thinking about writing a fic and it might end up as spoilers):
So! Imagine, if you will, that one day a baby shows up on your doorstep. You can't say you're prepared to raise a child, but she clearly has no one else and you kind of need something to focus on, so you take her in anyways. Since they're a little cuddlebug, you name them Theodosia and call them Teddy.
She grows up happy and healthy under your care, and when she's old enough she decides that she wants to follow in your footsteps and become a field agent. You couldn't be prouder, and you help them through the process. Next thing you know, she's stopped three world-ending threats and become the top agent.
Of course, you're still proud of them (if not prouder), but that doesn't change the danger they're in. And when you try to talk about your concerns, you end up getting into a huge argument with her, leading to her leaving to cool off. You don't think much of it...
And then they don't come home. Someone else finds what's left of her and tells you what happened. In your rage and grief, you kill the one behind it with your bare hands, but that just leaves you numb because it can't bring them back.
So you quit. Dedicate all your time to trying to figure out a way to save her, because the alternative is learning how to live in a world without her and you just... Can't.
Eventually, you manage to figure out time travel and go back. However, you overshot and changed things more than you expected to, so when you return to the 'present' your child is... Different. Still fundamentally the same, but you can tell that in this world that you didn't have a hand in raising them.
You find yourself not caring much about that, the sheer relief of seeing her alive again overtaking basically everything else. However, even without your influence they're still a field agent, and you can't bear the thought of them dying again. You... You need to keep her safe. Even if it's against their will.
