When Tsuna wakes up, Reborn is napping in a hammock on the other side of the room, Lambo playing on some handheld console in a highbacked chair and Takeshi is snoozing on the bed next to Tsuna.

Tsuna slides out of bed, exchanges a wary look with Lambo, and climbs onto Reborn.

The Sun sleepily pushes at Tsuna's face. "It's fine, just Mammon. They're pretty laidback."

"Who's that?" Tsuna complains. "And where are we, was there a fight? Why do people keep taking you away from me?" Tsuna's voice warbles and his eyes get watery.

"No," Reborn commands.

Tsuna starts crying.

Reborn doesn't know what to do and so just does nothing and hopes the human fixes itself. Lambo pretends he can't hear anything as well because it's not his problem.

Tsuna sniffles a little bit and starts to say something but the door is kicked in.

A tall, scarred man storms in with a posse of other intimidating men behind him. "Trash! I hear you're from Sun country where my shitty father is."

"Who the fuck are you!?" Tsuna screams back. "I'm having a moment here, go fuck yourself!"

Xanxus stares.

Tsuna lets out a war cry, flips off the hammock, and charges the Varia as his fists burst into honey coloured flames.

Tsuna is sitting on the ground, slumped sideways over Reborn's lap - sweaty and bleeding but also gave as good as he got. Xanxus is somewhere off in front, in the throne chair Levi carried over after the whole situation calmed down.

Lambo is lying down on his side, head propped up on a hand, chatting to Fran about some new game the developers in Lightning country are making.

Tsuna can't see most of the others because the mist is so thick, but can definitely still hear Takeshi chuckling along merrily as Squalo berates him for bad sword etiquette and explains how to best cut someone's head off cleanly.

Lussuria returns from the house with a tray of drinks and immediately beelines straight for Reborn. "My God," he greets happily. "An espresso?"

Reborn raises an eyebrow and takes the mug. "Are you one of mine?"

"He's mine," Xanxus snaps.

Lussuria giggles and wiggles his hips. "I was a choir boy before I beat someone to death and ran away."

Reborn thinks back. "I remember you. Well done."

Lussuria squeals in delight. "Thank you, thank you! I mean no one's going to miss that fuck face anyway, right? Everyone got so dramatic though, it was only a little maiming."

Xanxus snaps his fingers and Lussuria trots off to hand out the rest of the drinks.

Tsuna looks up at Reborn.

The God shrugs. "If Lussuria didn't do it, I would have."

Mammon chooses this moment to swan in from the Mist like some Lovecraftian horror. They pause when they see the situation. "Huh. Alright. Nice to see you've made friends."

"Violence is cathartic," Reborn muses.

Mammon scoffs. "Yeah you would say that. Why aren't you healing that Blessed boy of yours?"

"Because he needs to learn that actions have consequences, and pain is a good teacher."

Mammon clicks their tongue at Reborn and floats over to Lussuria. "Ryohei is running laps again. Get him away from the city, he's freaking everyone out with all that disgusting Sun country 'be merry' bullshit."

Reborn chuckles. "I hope that's not what my people do."

Tsuna rolls over onto his back, peering up at Reborn's face. "I mean, you'd be surprised how happy some people can be. Like all the time."

Lambo huffs. "Sounds awful. You know, Verde kicks out people who are too dumb to pass the tests that are set every five years. Throws them into Cloud country."

Mammon makes a choked sound and leaves.

Tsuna nudges Reborn. "Who's in Cloud country?"

Reborn shrugs.

Mist country isn't that bad, especially when Tsuna meets Kyoko and Ryohei, who are very nice and are in Mist country because their parents moved here recently. Takeshi comes with them to sight see and Lambo ends up tagging along too. Chrome gets along well with Kyoko but Mukuro is an asshole.

The Varia are awful human beings but keep showing up because they run Mist country in Mammon's absence. Xanxus rules it with an iron fist, of course, and will greet Tsuna with bullets.

Only a few days into Reborn's stay, the Sun asks the Mist why they want Reborn here. Everyone else always needs him for a purpose.

Mammon smirks. "Money."

They sell him to Cloud country.

"We missed him, didn't we?" Colonnello sighs, standing on the roof of Mammon's crooked, twisting house.

"Yep," Mammon says. "I warped him two hours ago."

Verde has his hands in his pockets, looking around with mild curiosity. He hasn't visited Mammon in a while. "And why does Skull want Reborn?"

Mammon grimaces. "It would take a much stronger god than me to know what the hell Skull is thinking."

Lal met Skull only once and even she nods along with the Rain and Lighting, because it's true.

"Oh, by the way," Mammon continues and warps half a dozen people into the area. "Take your things with you when you go."

"Extreme adventure!" Ryohei bellows, currently glowing yellow.

Verde raises an eyebrow. "That's not a blessing. What happened there?"

"He actually drank some of Reborn's espresso on accident and now he's like this," Mammon admits. "He's doubled in loudness, it's awful, please get him away from my country."

"No," Lal says. "And I'm pretty sure those two are definitely yours."

"That's Mukuro and Chrome," Mammon introduces. "They'll spy on you for me and tell me if something funny happens."

Colonnello winces. "I…actually don't appreciate your honestly, and would prefer you to at least try to be sneaky about it."

"You could pay me for it."

Verde hums. "I'll be going then. Cow, let's go."

"My name is Lambo," Lambo sighs and shoots after Verde, both of them leaving arcing currents of electricity where they blink past.

Mukuro and Chrome disappear into mist, Tsuna takes off at a sprint so fast he blurs - Ryohei just behind - with both flaring gold to push their bodies past human limits.

Lal nudges Colonnello and then gestures at Takeshi. "We can't have ours be the only one that can't keep up."

Takeshi begins to say that he's probably going to need his dad's permission to get godly powers, but Colonnello shoves some Rain into the human and Lal grabs Takeshi's shirt, dragging him along as they take off on a concentrated wave.

A/N: I am just going to smash out the rest of these chapters and finish it off because I've kind of lost motivation, but I don't want to leave it hanging because I think the ending is kind of cool.
