A/N: For any of you who don't know who Lily is, she's a minor character (who was shown for maybe a second as a background character in the OPM anime, and a bit more in the manga) who's in Fubuki's group, and who also completely idolizes her.

I found Genos and her to be quite similar.

Told from Genos' POV.

(She doesn't even appear in the character options on this site, -sob-)

~Chapter 1~


Walking through the hallway of the Hero Association Headquarters, Genos' eyes lifted up as he noticed another person walking in the opposite direction.

He always tried to keep himself as focused as he could and not let anything surprise him, so he quickly fixed them on the suspicious creature, keeping his own walking rhythm completely steady, to not show any kind of alarm.

Oh, it was her.

'That girl.' He thought to himself, as he recognized the short, 15 years-old female walking in front of him, her hair was always up in a high ponytail, and had a blue streak in it. From the top of her head came out two strange, white flowers, which seemed to be somehow attached to the rubber band of her ponytail, and she was wearing her usual black suit.

He knew that girl was with Fubuki, or how he referred her – Rank 1 of B class; Blizzard Of Hell, as he had already examined their interactions carefully over the past few Hero Association meetings and found the girl to be her loyal group member.

His expression turned serious as he remembered that woman. She was dangerous, and she even tried to attack his master, once.

To be perfectly aware of your enemies and who they work with is highly important, that was one of his ground rules, and he felt accomplished adding this information into his memory to later inform his master, if he ever asked him.

As they both stepped closer to each other from opposite directions, he could tell the girl had recognized him as well, as her expression became serious. She then quickly averted her eyes to gaze forward, walking right past him.

'Suspicious as ever.' He thought to himself, continuing on his way.

She may seem weak, but he knew better than to simply judge by an appearance, so he made sure to keep an eye on her.

"Oh, Genos, there you are." His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by his master's familiar voice, as he appeared before him, "If you're heading for the bathroom, that's a bad idea."

The cyborg only stared at him with confusion.

"Is everything alright, Sensei?" He asked.

Saitama's expression became troubled.

"Uhh.. let's just say it's highly flooded by me accidentally twisting the tap with too much force and breaking it." He explained, rubbing the back of his neck, "I suggest we get outta here as quickly as possible."

Genos only nodded as he followed his master's quick steps in the opposite direction in which he just came from.

If he hadn't known his master for quite some time now, he would've thought he was simply a poor, strange man, but his high capabilities in battle had proven him differently, and now this bald sensei of his appeared only as a subject of admiration in his eyes.

He smiled.

'I will make sure to be as helpful to sensei as I can.' He thought to himself, his expression turning determined.


"Welcome!" A cheerful voice called to him from the counter as he entered through the supermarket doors.

He let out a quiet sigh.

This was a different branch than what he was used to, and while he would've gladly just gone to his usual one near home, his master insisted that he stopped by this one to check if they have a special kind of tea that the establishment next to them ran out of.

The cyborg stepped inside and looked all around him as he grabbed a red basket from the pile.

His eyes quickly spotted the information signs on each aisle, and he relaxed a bit as he proceeded to the ones that contained whatever he needed.

'Alright, finding the special tea, completed.' He thought to himself, putting the product in his basket, 'I guess that I'll also buy things we're about to run out of while I'm here.' He decided.

It took the cyborg a few minutes to collect the groceries he wanted, and he smiled to himself proudly knowing he completed his mission for today, as he walked to the single counter in the store.

Luckily for him, there was no line.

"Hello, I'd like to pay for those." He said to the empty counter before him.

Confused, he looked all around. He could've sworn there was a cashier dealing with a customer when he first stepped in.

"Ah, Sorry! I'll be right with you!" He suddenly heard a female voice call from underneath the counter.

He made use of the time to take his groceries out of the basket and lay them carefully before him to shorten the procedure.

"Okay! Sorry for the wait." The female cashier quickly rose from under the table before him, fixing her shirt and hair.

As he lifted his gaze to her, both of their expressions changed into pure shock.

It was that girl.

Blizzard Of Hell's group member, and in other words, his enemy.

'She's working at a place like this?' He thought to himself, still staring wide-eyed at the female cashier in front of him.

The girl simply swallowed hard as she tried her best to stay professional, and she quickly regained her cool.

He watched her actions closely as she grabbed the groceries he lay on the counter before her and quickly checked them into the system using her laser gun.

Suddenly, she stopped what she was doing, and then breathed deep.

"Would you mind not staring at me so intently? It's making me nervous." She said, annoyed, as she lifted her gaze to him.

Genos blinked.

'Was I making her uncomfortable? I was just watching her to see that she doesn't slip anything suspicious in there.' He thought to himself. Confused.

"Sorry." He said, shifting his gaze away from her.

The girl continued in her task, as she efficiently ran her laser gun on each and every one of the products and then quickly put them into a plastic bag.

"You're with him, aren't you? The caped baldy." She asked, glancing at him.

Genos shifted his gaze back to her.

"Don't call him 'caped baldy.' His name is Saitama-sensei." He corrected her, his brow furrowing at her disrespect.

She stopped for a moment as her expression turned a bit interested.

"He's your sensei?" She asked, staring at him.

The cyborg only stared at her for a few moments.

"Yes, he is, Why do you ask?" He asked, confused by her sudden surprise.

The girl raised a hand to grab her chin as she pondered his words for a moment.

"I always thought it was the other way around.." She said.

Genos took a few moments to process the girl's words.

'She thought I was sensei's master..?' He thought to himself.

"To think that caped baldy was actually anybody's sensei.." She continued, making the cyborg's expression turn irritated at her words.

"You're just too weak to fully understand sensei's greatness." He determined, crossing his arms at her, "Like that Blizzard Of Hell of yours is any better; cowardly coming to someone else's house to attack them and even letting her bodyguards do the dirty work for her."

The girl's eyes widened.

"How dare you!" She suddenly raised her voice, her expression turning angry, "Miss Fubuki is the greatest leader one could ever hope for! She treats us so well and I'm proud to be of any help I can to her! You don't know anything and yet you judge her so easily!"

Genos kept quiet.

He didn't mean for this to become a heated argument, even if this girl was definitely the one who started it.

'She seems to genuinely care for her leader..' He thought to himself, surprised that his enemies could put so much trust into their superiors when they can act so shamefully.

"You started it." He said, irritated.

The girl kept quiet as she stared up at him for a few moments, then bit her lip.

"..Okay, Sorry." She muttered, crossing her arms as well.

He blinked.

'So this girl isn't that difficult..' He thought to himself, his expression quickly softening, 'But she's still suspicious.'

Further investigation needed to be done here.

"If your leader treats you guys well enough, why do you need to work at this place?" He asked, watching her closely.

Her expression suddenly turned determined.

"Our group needs a new car, so each of us decided to get a part-time job in order to earn a certain amount of money." She explained, lowering her hands back down each sides of hers, "We couldn't ask Miss Fubuki to help us, we need to be able to take care of our own problems ourselves."

The cyborg kept silent for a few moments.

"I see." He said.

He tried not to show it, but he was surprised by her selfless reason, and how determined she is to help her leader without having to rely on her.

"Anyway.. That'll be 4099.68 Yen, please." She said, breaking him out of his thoughts.

Completely silent, the cyborg simply took out his wallet and put the money on the counter before him.

The girl collected all of it and presented him with his change.

"Thank you." She said, handing him the plastic bag.

He quickly took it out of her hands and checked inside, just in case she actually did put anything suspicious in it, only to find that nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

He then raised his gaze back to her.

"What's your name, girl?" He asked.

'To collect further information, that is.' He agreed with his own reasoning.

The female cashier blinked at him.

"Lily." She answered, confused by his sudden interest, "What about you?"

"Genos." He said, putting his wallet back in his pocket, "Goodbye, then, Lily."

The girl lightly waved at him as she watched the cyborg leave her store, then let out a deep, relieved sigh.

As Genos was making his way back home, he couldn't help but go over his latest experience in his mind.

He was pleased with the amount of new information he managed to collect on his master's enemies, but for some reason he also couldn't help feeling a bit confused;

That girl seemed like a simple, hardworking person, yet she showed unconditional trust in her leader, who was clearly up to no good.

Was she only blindly admiring her? Was there another reason?

He wanted to find answers for all of these questions.

'For the purpose of research, of course.' He thought to himself.


A/N: As I write this I wonder to myself if they'll ever meet in canon.

Probably not.
