#bonus points for kid Mia and Maya whose mother just disappeared

[v-thinks-on]

Forget no DL-6 AUs, what if DL-6 happened and Miles just didn’t disappear?

He just keeps living in the same place with his mom (who I assume exists?), keeps going to school with Phoenix and Larry, but the trauma’s still there, every night he dreams that he was the one who killed his father.

Phoenix tries to help, but he’s just 9, he doesn’t know what to do, what to say, and who knows what his home situation is like.

How do they work through it even though nothing will ever be the same again?
