Father-daughter Bonding

———

M: You truly believe you can help me? Even after everything I’ve done?

Y: You wouldn’t be eating lunch with me if I didn’t believe I could.

M: My question still stands.

Y: And I gave you my answer.

I never actually explained my ideas for Yuzu interacting with Mandarin in my AU, so I feel like now would be the best time to talk about some details.

My idea for their relationship is that in my AU, Mandarin is still alive and is brought back to Shuggazoom by Yuzu herself. She conceives him to come back with her after telling him that Skeleton King is now dead and Shuggazoom is finally safe from him. I think I’ve stated it a while ago that in this AU, Skeleton King is fully defeated and is no longer a major threat to the world. The only enemies the Hyperforce now face are enemies besides Skeleton King, threats from Shuggazoom itself, and old followers of the Skeleton King scattered here and there.

Yuzu tells Mandarin that she insisted to the team that he still had to be alive after Skelemandarin was killed along with Skeleton King. She used the Power Primate to seek him out and found him imprisoned and abandoned, unaware of the changes that happened to the outside world. She explained to him that she wanted to find him and bring him back home with her, and back to Antauri. When Skelemandarin was killed, most of Hyperforce didn’t believe that Mandarin was actually still alive. Antauri themself was hesitant to believe that Mandarin was somehow still alive.

But Yuzu told her dad that she found him and that she was going to bring him back to them. Antauri was hesitant at first to let their daughter go off on this retrieval mission alone. But they knew that even they told her not to, she would be too stubborn to take no for answer and go after him anyway. So, on her own, she went searching for her bàba, not telling the rest of the team what her plan was. The team wouldn’t realize that Yuzu left on her to retrieve her bàba until Antauri had to explain to them her absence.

Mandarin at first, refused his daughter’s chance to return back to Shuggazoom. After everything he’s done to them, after everything he’s done to her, why would she be willing to give him a chance. But Yuzu explained to him that Antauri once said to him it wasn’t too late for him, that even they were willing to give him a chance to start over. She told him that having to send him away broke Antauri. They grieved for him after his imprisonment. That having to raise their daughter alone was the greatest pain they ever experienced. Yuzu tells her baba that Antauri still misses them. That she misses him even though she never met him until after he reawakened from the HOOP. She wants her bàba to be a part in her life.

Mandarin retorts that even if he agreed to come back with her, the rest of the Hyperforce won’t agree with it. But Yuzu persists, telling him that if the rest team has a problem with it, then so be it. Helping him is HER mission, not theirs. She believes that she can help him. That she and Antauri can help him. For a moment, Mandarin hesitates, but soon agrees to come back home with her. And when they return home, it’s a riot from the rest of the team. All rightful objections of anger and horror. Except from Antauri, who stood frozen in pure shock at the two’s return.

I imagine if Antauri ever confessed to Mandarin it'd be like this

Otto and Cadmio & Bohirio

Sprx and Betelgeuse & Cygnus

Mandarín and Orion

If you asked them about fatherhood, Otto would tell you it's fun, Sprx wouldn't know how to explain it, and Mandarin would define it as a sacrifice for the greater good.

But if they have something in common, it is that they love their children more than anything.
