#homeless au my beloved 🫶🫶

This is a copy and paste from my yap session in the MB discord but yk, something something content something something feeding the fandom

So, the Homeless au is on the mind and I was thinking about how at some point Lá Resistance find him and essentially take him back in and he like...doesn't want to? They kinda drag him back to the base despite him not wanting to and it's less out of the kindness of their hearts and more wanting to watch him, study him even because at this point it's been so long that he should be so much further along in his mutation or hell, even completely mutated but he's *not* he's feral, barely able to speak English at this point because it's been *so long* he hasn't had a need to speak the entire time he's been alone and coupled with the mutation he's just forgotten a lot of it. He can't communicate outside of broken words and noises. He's spent more time with mutants than humans as of late.

Also, I don't think they'd do anything to prevent his mutation, likely deeming him too far gone to do anything about it, they'd just wait for the inevitable and lock him up with the rest of the colossuses when he did fully turn. They don't treat him as a person, he's just a mutant with a little more freedom than the others. Sure he can roam around the base but he's watched constantly when outside anywhere but his given room and the bathroom, they don't trust him to be on his own, especially around the weapons or even the other colossuses. He has free roam but that doesn't mean they trust him, especially in the state he's in at this point in time. To them, he's dangerous, unstable, something that needs to be monitored almost 24/7.

And again, Sheriff doesn't *want* to be here, he's not here at his own choice, he wasn't given a say. He was just whisked away back to the base. He doesn't want to be here, he'd gotten so used to the space and the solitude the city offered outside of the mutants inhabiting it that now he's back at the base, surrounded by people constantly it's overwhelming, there are very few moments when he's completely on his own now, he's not used to people anymore and at this point he'd prefer to go back to being alone, if it meant that he wasn't being watched and studied constantly. The other colossuses are here though, so that's one thing. They've been through what he's going through, they're *like him* even if their memories of their lives before the apocalypse is foggy and they have no recollection of their personal experiences with their mutation, it's comforting to at least know they're there and have gone through the same thing. (Dr. White is there too but he scares him (the Dr. has done nothing but treat him kindly but his mutant brain™️ doesn't trust him at all)). But he's not even allowed to talk to them! Something stupid about exchanging information, he's in no state to be playing messenger but the thought alone is enough for everyone to make sure he didn't get the chance to talk to them at all.

He avoids them, as much as he can do which, means he spends a lot of time in his room, they'd cleared it of everything in it that made it *his* so it was bland and admittedly a really sad sight to behold but it's better than being watched like he isn't even human (is he human at this point?). He prefers it this way, even if he can't roam freely it's better than being monitored, *studied* by Lá Resistance. He misses that, being able to just roam outside freely, not having to worry about people or saving the world or debt of any kind. It's odd, he thought he'd like this better, he spent so long being upset that his friends abandoned him, spent so many nights wishing they'd take him back but now, now that he's been alone for so long where his only source of company is a bunch of mutants that essentially adopted him he just...wants to leave, he missed it, the freedom from people and the company of the mutants. When they assumed you to be one of their own, they were quite nice. He misses them, weirdly enough, he'd consider them family. (He absolutely didn't almost pass away the day they approached him)

Yuh
