Chapter 2: Planning Ahead

Day 2: Check Up

(Brockton Bay: Boat Graveyard)

"So, how are you feeling, Azura?" Kuro asks his little cousin, as he carries her on his back while walking through the shipyard and heading towards the hospital.

Azura just mumbles something Kuro couldn't understand, but all he needs to know that Azura wasn't feeling well right now and need help. If he has to get on his knees and beg; well, he won't do that. He will just threaten the people at the hospital to help Azura against their will.

During the morning, Kuro didn't dare leave Azura alone and took her with him, to find the abandoned warehouse. Much to his relief, there was actually money there. But, the drugs; well, Kuro just left them there until he needs it for quick cash later.

The amount of money he found among the drugs was a bit hard to tell due to the variety of bills in the pile. Some of them are $1 bill to a $20 bill at least. There are some coins among them as well. Along with a few $100 bills too, but that's pretty much it.

Well, easy for him to carry around at least and don't have to worry about carrying so many big bills out in the open. But, he is going to have to sort through these piles of cash later today if he doesn't want to keep on checking if he has the right amount of cash to pay the bill.

So Kuro pulled out a few $5, $20, one $100, and around ten or so of the $1 bill. Then put it inside the stolen wallet he acquired yesterday.

Afterward, he checked on Azura's condition and found out she a little dizzy, not being able to walk straight. This mean, Kuro has to carry her for the time being until he makes it to the hospital.

And it only took Kuro the whole morning to find the warehouse, but at least now, with the cash on them. Kuro could provide some food for Azura and him to eat a full meal. Cheap, but filling meal.

Also, maybe enough money to pay the bill for the hospital check up on Azura. After all, they don't even have an insurance here or anywhere else if he could tell. Furthermore, he just hopes the money he just gained is enough for a hospital visit.

30 minutes later*

(Brockton Bay: Unknown Hospital)

After coming back to the Market from the Boat Graveyard; Kuro started asking around for directions to a nearby hospital. Since this is the second day of their unwanted arrival and still haven't scouted the area, to find where is where and the best routes to get there.

However, it seems like the people in this place wasn't that much helpful, where some just outright ignore him and some even tried to take advantage of them by asking for some cash in exchange for their bits of help.

Well, those people won't be speaking any time soon or write after breaking their jaws and both their hands. By breaking, Kuro meant breaking all the bones in their hands and dislocate their jaws. Then, knock them out and pickpocket their money and anything useful.

Kuro found a wristwatch that still in good condition to tell time, so he got something out of the whole deal and the people nearby watching minded their own business. Like this is a normal thing to them.

Afterward, a 'kind' person showed them the direction to a nearby hospital that has a famous person inside that could help after Kuro made a few 'promises' to the person when he started getting tired of asking for the past 20 minutes and got no result, causing him to force some to lead them a hospital, which only took 10 minutes of walking.

Once checked in, Kuro and Azura waited in the waiting area for the next available room. Of course, Kuro could have threatened a few people to get the next available room for Azura.

But, there is a slight chance of someone causing an 'accident' to Azura while checking her. So yeah, Kuro made sure to be patience and casual look around, but was, in fact, checking for anything could be used for their escape.

While Kuro was thinking about what to do after getting Azura checked. Azura, on the other hand, tried to wish for another healing power to cure the headache of hers, but fell asleep before she could finish what she wished for after entering the hospital building.

"Um. Excuse me. But, is she alright?" Kuro looks up and found a person, wearing a robe with a large hood and a scarf that covered the lower half of their face. The robe was alabaster white and had a medic's red cross on the chest.

From the voice alone, Kuro could tell the person in front of him is female and could be close to Azura's age.

"Is that a trick question?" Kuro raises an eyebrow at the person in front of him, then a thought pops up in his mind about a small memory of someone looking exactly as the person in front him. Like how he recognized Shadow Stalker last night.

Panacea in person, and look like she about to drop dead from what Kuro could tell. Hell, Kuro thinks that by just poking Panacea in the forehead would be enough to knock her down without much effort.

"Never mind, do you mind checking on her? She has a bad case of a headache due to her overusing her power as a side-effect." Kuro didn't bother to hide the fact that he literally unmasked his own cousin. Not like it matters in the first place when he knows for a fact that he and Azura don't even exist in this world.

Yes, Kuro figures it out in the morning they weren't even in their original world, whatever it was, but he knows the technology in this world is a bit random and just a bit higher level compared to his and Azura's original world.

Panacea look at Kuro, with a shocked look on her face; well, more like her eyes are widen in surprise instead. Not that anyone could blame her that some random stranger just unmasked someone like the unwritten rules doesn't matter to them.

Either they have the strength to back them up without worrying about others coming after them or they know a method to hide in plain sight. Maybe a changer power is Panacea's guess.

"Uh, do you know what you have just done?" Panacea feels like the person in front of her was crazy, because he literally just unmasked a cape in a public area and they were just lucky there wasn't anyone nearby at this hour.

Kuro honestly didn't care about their identities being revealed to the world. Since his and Azura's identity will be revealed sooner or later in the future. May as well get it over.

"Does it matter?" Kuro raises an eyebrow at her, because right now he wanted Panacea to check on Azura before things get bad.

Panacea glance over at Azura, then back at Kuro. As she looks at both a little closer than she did before and found both of them to be very beautiful. Including those high-class clothes, she wouldn't be surprised to find out they're from a very rich family.

"W-Well, no...but-" Panacea was about to try to reason with Kuro, but was cut off instead by Azura's groaning, causing her to forget what she was going to say and quickly check on Azura.

But, Panacea quickly controls herself before doing anything, as her vow to always to ask permission from either the patience or someone responsible for them.

"Do I have permission to heal her?" Panacea asked Kuro, as she did her best to control herself before using her power to heal Azura. It wouldn't do her any good if she doesn't get Kuro's permission or there be some problem afterward.

"Of course." Kuro nods at Panacea, much to her relief and carefully touch Azura's forehead, then let out a sigh of relief that Azura only have a bad case of a migraine and Azura only need to rest.

"Your sister?" Panacea didn't know if they were siblings or not, but just goes with it. "She is okay. She just has a migraine and just needs a few hours of rest. Two days at most, but afterward she is better. You should keep an eye on her from overusing her power or else she gets another migraine easily enough." Panacea informs of Azura's conditions.

"Actually, I don't know if this really was caused by her power. All I'm getting is that your sister here may have been exposed to a large amount of cold water, causing her to be sick." Panacea stares at Kuro with a dull look near the end, because if she wasn't clear enough to tell him this plainly his fault for not changing the girl out of the wet dress into dry clothes as soon as possible.

"Anyway, I have to go now. Please do get your sister out of those clothes, no matter how dry it looks and feels." Panacea didn't give Kuro a chance to respond and left to heal other patients nearby.

Kuro didn't even get to say anything before Panacea rushed off, causing him to frown a little, then shrugged his shoulders. Since he not that close to Panacea, then it isn't his problem to be concern about and was just happy that Azura doesn't have a worse condition and just a migraine.

Now, that Kuro got Azura checked by someone in the hospital, with Panacea being the best one in his opinion and relief, that his luck wasn't that bad. Because he was almost ready to kidnap a doctor or two due to their lack of documents and could cause multiple problems.

And they can't deal with those problems just yet. So Kuro quickly takes Azura away and head back to the Boat Graveyard.

30 minutes later*

(Brockton Bay: Boat Graveyard)

While Kuro continues walking back to the same houseboat they used as a temporary sleeping place. He frowns at the same itchy feeling whenever someone staring at him for longer than a minute and look in the direction, where it's coming from.

"Come out." Kuro would usually ignore this itchy feeling like he did yesterday with Shadow Stalker. But, that was during the time they were in a public area. However, this isn't a public area filled with people. Where only broken down ships are here instead of people.

However, the hidden person left the area instead of coming out in front of Kuro. This made Kuro a little curious of who was spying on him, but ignore it and continue heading back to the houseboat, where he shall keep an eye on Azura's health and maybe find a way to get more money or figure out which thugs he should maim to steal from them.

Kuro snort at this, stealing from a thief then keeping the stolen loots; well, maybe steal if the money actually original belongs to those thugs. But, he had the feeling it's not likely.

'Can't believe I thought Azura's power was the caused of Azura getting sick. Of course, she would be sick and I would too if I didn't have a strong body. After all, we didn't change out of our wet clothes and not to mention, if I remember correctly. Azura's head hurt every time it rains, misty/wet days, and gets fever whenever the weather changes for some reason.' Kuro really wanted to smack himself from yesterday for not thinking about buying a few clothes, cheap clothes, but dry clothes for them to wear for the night.

No wonder Azura got a migraine or maybe she sick, hard to tell when Panacea was half awake, with those bags under her eyes.

Looking around, Kuro is debating if he should go out and find anything to help Azura right now, but leaving her behind by herself wasn't the right choice in his opinion or take her with him.

Now, that Kuro thinks about it. He should have bought a few things on the way back to the Boat Graveyard.

'I'm starting to think I'm literally useless without Azura to think for the both of us.' Kuro decided to go back before heading to the houseboat and get all the kinds of stuff Azura may need for her migraine and anything else to treat her illness.

The next day*

Day 3: Surprise Help

(Brockton Bay: Downtown: Unknown Restaurant)

Currently, both Kuro and the somewhat healthier Azura are in a restaurant, eating a few things to fill their stomach. Now, that Azura took some medicines; she is strong enough to walk on her own, but would have a few moments of head pain and would require a break or two.

Sadly, this reminded both Kuro and Azura, that she has a weak body and one of the many reasons they could remember why Kuro look after Azura.

Therefore, Kuro went from overprotective over Azura to full-blown wild beast ready to attack anything in sight that just a hint of in dangering their protected love one. So yeah, Kuro won't tolerate anything come to harm to Azura until her cycle of fever goes away.

Yeah, Azura got a fever yesterday after the migraine thing, where Azura switches from heavy fever to super light fever each day. Pretty much make Azura very weak, almost every day and we have to wait until the whole fever slowly die down or else it would extend the cycle if anything to cause Azura's health to worsen.

"So what's our plan for now?" Kuro asks Azura, as he watches his cousin pretty much eat all the share of the meals. Not that he could blame her due to her first healing power: Healing Touch causes her to become hungry than usual.

"First. Let me finish my food. I didn't rush you when you were busy doing your stuff. So don't rush me." Azura swallows the food in her mouth, then she points her fork at Kuro before scolding him, and then continue eating her delicious steak.

10 minutes later*

(Brockton Bay: Downtown)

After Kuro paid the bill for their lunch; the two started walking around to check the places.

"Let's head back. This isn't the greatest place to talk." Azura said to Kuro, after all, if she doesn't say anything at first. He would just plain out speak out a topic not suppose to be spoken in public at all.

Kuro nods at Azura, but didn't find anything weird that Azura cut him off before he could say anything to her. Not when he always forgets some of the small details.

20 minutes later*

(Brockton Bay: Boat Graveyard)

"So what's our first step?" Kuro gets himself a bit more comfortable in his own bed while Azura tries her best not to go near anything look weird and nasty, as she tries her best to make her own bed comfortable as well.

"Well, we're in this city where we have no ID and background. Blocking the normal routes, that give us a legal place to stay. We could create our own gang for an income." Azura replied to Kuro's question.

"And why would we do that? Besides the money flowing through us thanks to the gang." Kuro raises an eyebrow at Azura.

"We would have our own network and if we find the right people to be our minions. Maybe we could fake ID and other kinds of stuff to allow us to stay without the law enforcers coming at us due to lack of the things we need to stay here." Azura easily replied her cousin.

"Hmmm. What else? What's our first step, then?" Kuro didn't find any problem forming a new gang in this forsaken city.

"Well, today is a new day. I can try to wish for a new power based on a minion. There are a few I could think up, that I could or may not be able to get. Which one do you want? One of the options I could see if possible is to create my own minion. If I can do that is. Converting someone into a minion via brainwashing." Azura offers a few things they could do now or later today.

"I would go with brainwashing, then I got the feeling that would be bad in our current situation. So, maybe creation unless we can find a way to hide this little brainwashing operation." Kuro thought about it for a few seconds and replied with his choice.

Who knows what would happen later on; nonetheless, both Kuro and Azura can't do this alone and having minions would help them in a long run. They just need to figure out what the best methods to do so.

Author Note:

Yeah, sorry for it being short and like a filter, but I got some problem thinking how this whole things go.

So I just made it short and be done with it. If you got something for a plot idea, pm or something and we will see.
