Well, this is my first ever Tiger & Bunny fic. It doesn't really have any pairings, but you can interpret it however you wish. I did a bit of research on the topic before I wrote this, and found it really fascinating a gross. So I toned it down. Yes, everyone, this is somewhat toned down. Not very toned down, but enough so it wouldn't be M rated. I really look forward to feedback, and I hope you enjoy this! It's my first time writing horror, so...

Disclaimer: I don't own Tiger & Bunny. I would love to, but it belongs to Sunrise.

"You remember the plan, right Old Man?" Barnaby said jokingly.

"I'm not senile, Bunny! And where did 'Old Man' come from? I thought we were on first name basis!"

"…"

"Oh! That was a joke!"

"Of course."

"… Since when did you have a sense of humor?"

"Everyone has a sense of humor, Kotetsu."

"Are you sick?"

"What-Where did that come from?"

"You're smiling. It's creepy. You never smile unless the camera is on you."

"Goddammit Kotetsu! I'm happy! Jake is dead! My life has new meaning!"

"You don't seem too happy."

"That's because you're aggravating me."

"But-!" Kotetsu was interrupted by a familiar "Bonjour Heroes!" from Agnes.

"Be careful, everyone. This man might be armed, and he might have killed someone. I want you to all be prepared. And someone shield Blue Rose in the beginning. We don't want her getting shot up."

"If you made me a better costume you wouldn't have to worry about that!" Blue Rose muttered under her breathe, much to the amusement of Fire Emblem.

In other words, it was a perfectly normal day for the heroes of Sternbild. They were all poised to infiltrate what, as far as they knew, seemed to be a kidnapping and/or hostage situation. However, when you are someone as misfortunate as Kotetsu T. Kaburagi, life never is that simple, if you can call a hostage situation simple.

At the signal, the heroes surrounded the house while Barnaby and Kotetsu charged in. Breaking down the door, they burst in on…

"Oh God…" Kotetsu breathed. The other Heroes ran into the room, worried.

"Sky High! Get those the kids OUT!" Kotetsu shouted. Sky High, nodded, then grabbed Ivan and Pao-Lin, covering their eyes while guiding them out of the room. Barnaby and Antonio were blocking the sight from the cameras while Fire Emblem started to argue with Agnes.

"AGNES! GET RID OF THE CAMERAS NOW!" He roared, his voice deepening.

Kotetsu turned to Blue Rose, who was petrified. "Maybe you should go too."

She swallowed nervously. "I'm fine. I can handle it."

Kotetsu looked at her skeptically. She took a deep breath, and forced herself to stop shaking. "I'm Blue Rose, after all. I can handle it." She repeated. Kotetsu nodded.

"If you want to leave, I won't stop you."

Ivan and Pao-lin were sitting on the steps leading into the apartment. Hero TV staff kept pushing cameras and microphones into their faces but neither of them understood what was going on. All they knew was that Tiger was taking control of the situation, and Sky High had grabbed them before they could see anything.

"What do you think happened?" Pao-lin whispered. All the cameras had backed off, and they were pretty much alone. Police had entered the room, and a heated discussion was taking place, but neither of them could hear the words.

"I think someone was murdered." Ivan replied. "But it must be really bad, if they removed us. We've both seen dead bodies before."

"It smelled really bad in there."

"Yeah."

Pao-lin sighed. Stay optimistic, she reminded herself. Tiger's probably just being over protective again. I'm sure it's not too bad…

And that was when the door opened and they started to bring the body out in pieces.
