Out Of Place (DBZ Various x Reader)

~(Y/n)'s POV~

It had been a couple days since the whole 'kidnapping' fiasco, and you'd been taking that time to relax and take it easy. You felt like you deserved it after all the crazy stuff that bad happened: the tournament, moving houses and being held hostage. The free time gave you time to think about what you'd done, however, the nagging guilt of having killed people made your gut twist every time you thought about it. You'd confided in Haru, out of all your friends, about what exactly had happened, and why you felt so bad. But, the quiet male was a good listener and gave out solid advice.

"They kidnapped you, drugged you, and shot at you. It's self defense at that point," he had said, resting a comforting hand on your shoulder. When he put it like that, it made sense to you. Maybe another person in your situation wouldn't have killed them with a blast of energy, but you figured not many could do that. Well, that and the look on Vegeta's face when he noticed Trunk's leg. He had been a man ready to murder.

You shook your thoughts of reminiscence away. That had been a few days ago, and you had since then gotten to know a few of Bulma's friends better. Bulma had stopped by once, and you realized just how close you lived to her. Well, that and she had been the one selling the house in the first place. Once the information had been relayed to the boy that you lived so close, he'd been making it a habit to stop by and hang out when he had the time, sometimes Goten would be with him.

They would tell you stories about their adventures, and big fights that had happened years ago. When they weren't doing that though, they'd be playing or sparring in the backyard, sometimes pulling you into it. You didn't mind though. They were good kids, and you had fun hanging with them, not to mention the boys were both crazy strong for their age, so sparring was interesting. Goten had explained to you about their heritage at one point, and you had to admit, you weren't all that shocked at the revelation that aliens existed.

It was just another thing to add to the list of wild shit that existed in your new world. You shook out of your thoughts with a smile, stopping at the door to the Capsule Corp building and knocking on the door. It swung open, and you were greeted with Vegeta's grumpy face.
"Hey Vegeta!" you shot him a smile and a small wave as he stepped to the side to let you in.
"What are you doing here?" he grumbled as he shut the door, crossing his arms.

"Bulma invited me over for lunch. Hope I'm not intruding too much,' you chuckled, earning an eye roll.
"She's already out in the back," he huffed, jerking his thumb towards the back of the building. You nodded, starting off towards where he'd pointed.
"Thanks 'Geta!" He shot you a glare at the nickname, and you simply chuckled, slipping away from the angry Saiyan and into the back yard.

A head of blue haired greeted you when you stepped out of the building, and the woman looked up when she heard the door shut.
"Hey, you made it!" she greeted you with a smile, gesturing to the neat next to her. You'd actually gotten to know her quite well, and you had become fast friends. It also didn't hurt that you had a few brownie points for rescuing her son, but you genuinely liked to spend time with her.
"Yup! You've discovered my weakness; food!" you joked, patting your stomach as you sat down.

She let out a laugh.
"You and about half of the people I know," she laughed with a wink. She leaned over to a mini fridge next to her chair, pulling out a couple of sandwiches.
"Go ahead and choose a drink if you'd like," she hummed, and you leaned down to grab a can of (favorite flavor) soda.
"So, work on anything interesting lately?" you questioned as you cracked open the can, dodging the spray of carbonation as you did.

She nodded excitedly, diving into an animated monologue about her newest invention. It was cute to watch her explain her work, and she was very heartfelt about it. She had a tendency to ramble about things you didn't understand, but you didn't mind. It was nice to watch Bulma talk about something she loved.
"-and that's why I needed to change out a spark plug and add another vent to get the desired effect!" she came to a stop and took a moment to catch her breath.
