Don't Fuck with Mama Sobeck’s Cubs (HZD HP AU)
Elisabet was in the den enjoying some coffee while catching up on her new favorite book when Samina, Aloy, Achilles, Ted, his wife Penna, and their son Lucius came in with angry looks, Samina looked worried, Lucius looked like he’d been jumped by several people. Her children, however, looked timid.
“What’s going on?” Elisabet asked, not looking up from her book.
“Two of your brats nearly killed my oldest son!”
“Before lunch? That’s a new record”
The three other adults gave her a confused look.
“New record for what?” Samina asked.
“How long before which one of them nearly kills someone. It’s barely been a day” Elisabet clearifed.
“You knew something like this would happen eventually?”
“Yep,” Elisabet replied with a pop, sipping her coffee.
“Aren’t you going to punish them?” Ted asked angrily.
Elisabet let out a long sigh, sitting straighter before closing her book and giving her guests a deadpan look. “What did Lucius do?”
The holo-projector came to life, revealing a rather pissed and unamused GAIA. “He kept bothering Aloy after she told him, repeatedly, to leave her alone then he yanked her bra strap so hard that it snapped in front of Achilles. Both she and Achilles beat the boy to a bloody pulp.” GAIA’s projection spat through clenched teeth. Elisabet appeared calm but those who knew her knew she was anything but. There was a raging inferno behind her eyes that only grew the more GAIA continued to describe how Faro’s spawn had been harassing her daughter and it only made Ted anxious. Samina smirked slightly when she saw Ted shift uncomfortably when he realized that things most likely weren’t going to end well for his son. “Is this true?” Elisabet asked once GAIA finished. “ I have video evidence of it. All of it. I also have proof that his parents knew about the harassment but didn’t punish him rather encouraged him,” GAIA cut Lucius off before the boy could deny anything causing him to pale slightly. Elisabet nodded before reclining back into her and picking up her book where she left off.
“Are we in trouble mother?” Achilles spoke up.
“We swear not to do it again-”
“I’ll deal with this later. You three leave,”
“What why?!” Penna yelled.
“Because I don’t want to deal with this right now. I won’t say it again. Leave,” Elisabet didn’t need to look up to know the witch was giving her a death glare and she couldn’t careless. “ I hoped we could handle this civilly but I see that that’s not going to happen.” Aloy snorted, which only made the woman angrier. “You disrespectful little bitch! Furnuncul-”
“Immobulus!” Aloy yelled before Penna could finish the curse. The older witch fell to the ground with a hard thud. GAIA and Samina stared widened eyed as Elisabet rose from her seat with a magical aura dancing dangerously around her, her eyes glowing bright in the dem room. Ted took a defensive stance when Elisabet stalked forward with a blood thirsty look in her eyes as she glared down at his wife. “ I’ll see to it that your brats will be imprisoned for this! I’ll be speaking to the authorities-” Ted’s rant was cut short when Elisabet raised her hand and made a fist, he felt a sudden pressure around his throat choking him. “And tell them what Theodore? That my children beat up your son after he pulled on my daughter’s bra strap so hard that it snapped? That your wife tried to curse my daughter?” Elisabet released her hold on the man, staring him down.
“Samina, get them out of my house before someone gets hurt or worse.”
“You heard the woman. Leave!” Samina forces the Faro’s to follow her out of the room, GAIA leaving with them. Elisabet shook her head before returning back to her seat. “Mother I-” Aloy began but Elisabet cut her off. “You’re not in trouble”
“What?” Aloy and Achilles asked in unison.
“You're. not. in. trouble.”
“But Faro said he would have us arrested,” Aloy interrupted.
“For what? Defending yourself? Ted isn’t the sharpest knife out of the bunch but he's not a complete idiot. He knows that if he tries to take us to court that we have evidence that his bimbo wife and idiot son attacked you. We would win by a landslide and his wife and son would go to jail, and since I have powerful friends I can make sure they get the max sentence.” Elisabet explained sweetly, before pulling her children closer to her and giving them each a kiss on the forehead. “Now, who wants cookies?”
