It truly seemed that Alfre had gotten comfortable, especially since they shared the same sentiment. Pulling out her phone to show him pictures of her cat.

People critique Frey for certain behaviors, selfishness being Vulgar. Etc.
Lemme break it down. She was BORN without any parents or other family, her abandonment being a permanent issue or staple on her life. ‘Holland’ because she was found +

Waving off the guy who wanted to shoot some hoops with her.
It was like she was taking a trip in memory lane-… well, before she realized her importance.
Her feet kept moving without a destination to follow, just going wherever the wind took her.

She had to fight her 𝐎𝐰𝐧 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬. She had gotten this far just from her own strength.

The thugs would think they caught her with her pants-down, seemingly dragging each other back to their hideout.
And right on time. She heard familiar swigging noises. Thank you for your wisdom Tanta Olas.
She merely shrugged her shoulders once he arrived.
“Sup?”

The death of the child of Athia, Olevia rang fresh in her mind. Instead of sadness, it was replaced by anger, by 𝐑𝐚𝐠𝐞. The same rage that filled her before she fought Tanta-Sila.
Eventually she found a black feather that was laid at the scene.
“What the?..”
#AHJIN
“I fought against the world and the world fought against me. I guess she was right. Being abandoned-.. it-.. left some kinda hole in my heart. One that I still try to fill. I know what it’s like, and I’m so grateful to have you here with me.”
@NxtArachnid
Before Miles knew it, there was a familiar woman, like a Ghost that was right beside her daughter. Tanta-Cinta, the Tanta of love.
She’d merely look intently at Miles before vanishing away almost immediately.

History of the Tanta’s
#AHJIN
The First Tanta was little more than a warrior woman with a talent for magic, not the godly being that those with her title are known for by the 3800s. She made a name for herself by fending off the Rheddah.
@NxtArachnid
“So I’m guessing you’re bored and that’s why you called me? I’m a very busy girl you know. I should start charging you.”
Nah, she was definitely trolling.

Asshole.”

“Alfre Holland. Protector of another-world called Athia.” While he was indulging in his ice-cream sensations. The Tanta picked up an apple and ate it casually though she did steal it, “Hm? What flavor is that?”

Taking off her shirt that was wrapped around her to put that on. Making sure that the sleeves covered the cuff-marking that was on her skin.
Now, she looked normal.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself.
Those words echoed through her head and mind. “I’m ready to go.”

“And there it is. Hell, I can’t even get through it-.. Pffft, I’m starting to feel like a push-over here Gojo.” She finally used his name.

@NxtArachnid
And that was evident with her mannerisms, even if she never said it aloud. It was clear that Alfre loved Miles-Morales, even if she never told him.

“Everyone has something that they’re willing to fight for. Your belief’s,your home, family friends. But what do you do when the world fights back? Guess I know now. Wish I could go in time and tell myself-.. but I was NOT ready to hear it.”
Is definitely not ear-hustling on their conversation about her.
What does he mean ‘New-Girl’
Seems like it’s time for her to investigate.
Like Lorna said, nobody’s second choice.
@NxtArachnid
But that moment was short-lived, clumsy and making a typical mistake on her part. Falling down upon the pavement after a miscalculation.
Eying the individuals that wanted her hurt or even worse.
She didn’t feel so heroic anymore.
She felt like some things never changed. +

Quickly using her parkour skills to scale an enormous fence and landed with finesse. Throwing up double middle fingers for the hell of it.
Hell, she even swiped her phone back.

“I see your humor is still in-tact.” Alfre remarked as she casually leaned over toward him to plant a small kiss upon his cheek, “I’m just glad you’re getting better with this whole thing.. it definitely isn’t the easiest-.. for me or your family y’know.”

Frey created a water whirlpool inside the palm of her hand, “And I have you and many other people that support me. I guess I’m not used to that-.. given my upbringing from foster home to foster home..”
//I WILL NEVER HATE YOU FREY HOLLAND!
I don’t care what other people say about you or the way you talk, you were completely valid to act the way you did despite all you been through.
And I’m happy I got the opportunity to see you grow into the Tanta they needed. ♥️
everyone has to be obsessed with a character no one else cares about atleast once in their lives to humble them i think
lets see how strong that indomitable human spirit of yours really is

It was gonna be very awkward to hug a guy who was literally shirtless, oh my god he was shirtless-.. okay calm down! It’s not that serious!

Alfrey Holland was found in a blanket, under the Holland Tunnel. A new-born that seemed to be abandoned by the parents. The people gave her the last-name of Holland.
Living her life as a foster child. Being moved from home to home. But she did graduate high school. +

“They say you’re important. 𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐧 with extraordinary power. I guess-.. I can relate to that. I’ve never met anyone with a huge responsibility like me.” Alfre reached her out hand to try and touch him, but she couldn’t get close. Not even remotely. +

Giving him the dap he clearly wanted.
“You’re definitely mentally unstable, liking someone with a rap-sheet as long as mine.” She’d shove his shoulder.
“You really are Spider-Man, The other one must be really 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐝 of you. I know I am. Not that-.. that really matters.” +
Alfre began sobbing, tears streaming from her face as she cried softly, “I just wanna know what my purpose is-..if I’m more than what I think-.. always wrestling with myself.. having a persona is the only way to protect myself-.. only way..” +
Looking into her mirror to see if she looked presentable, applying lip-gloss to her lips and made sure her nails looked pink and feminine like they usually did. Now it was time for the Tom-boy attire, she quickly threw her signature outfit on. +
So she’s selfish for not wanting to be involved in something? Which was FORCED upon her without her consent. The WEIGHT of an entire world which she knew NOTHING about? Not to mention her own trauma she was dealing with before she got there?
On holland tunnel. Clearly being forced into depending on other people, foster homes etc which weren’t exactly the best option for her. But the only one.
She’s only had HERSELF from the very beginning, not to mention homelessness and poverty.
Alfre was taken aback by the sudden compassion that was always shown to her in particular. She’d take out a huge wad of money and held it in her hands as some kind of reassurance to herself, “I’m doing the best that I can.” She eyed him directly +

"Are you the girl with the cuff on her arm? Then I'm in the right place."
He doesn't say much in reply about the shades covering his eyes other than adjusting them to make sure they're firm.
“Just because he’s gone doesn’t mean I can’t be a protector. It’s my job as Tanta to protect others to use my gift-.. don’t worry Miles-.. I got this ok? You take a well deserved rest.. you’ve earned it..”
Her eyes seemed to widen and soften. He was BLACK under the mask? Wow, that was something she definitely wasn’t expecting. Maybe she was expecting some white-guy with blonde hair blue eyes, something of a.. well she didn’t know. +

He’s taking a gamble with trusting her. Hopefully it doesn’t backfire.
He wasn’t wrong about the hero part in his own world, she had already done her research. Knowing that he was involved in the KOF tournaments. She’d completely understand the decline, though it did throw her off.
“Right, that’s on me-“
Benimaru would hear her offee, and blinked a few times. He was already a hero in his current world...
"I already am a guy that has saved the world. I don't quite know if I'd be able to leave behind my duties here for your homeland. I'm afraid I'd have to decline."
“Oh? You’re a Spanish speaker huh?”
“𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐲, 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭.”

“Pfft, go do the Miles Morales original- and Godzilla huh? I’m not really a monster gal myself, but for you? I’ll play ball.”
Upon the cabinets were pictures of her school life. Cheerleading, dance-club, she tried her hand at all of it. +
Ardyn simply tilted his head to the side and looked at her quizzically.
“Joe? Who is Joe? And what do you have against top hats? That comment is a bit discriminative and I think I should take offense… but I’m too old and too tired for that.”
