Third p.o.v.

FatGum watches the redhead practically run out of the room back upstairs seeming to catch the phone mid ring.

"Should I follow her? I am supposed to keep her in eyesight."He questions shaking his head and sitting back down.

He could tell this was a very personal issue that would be out of line to listen in on.

Nikki rubs her face answering the man. "No. Her family are stubborn and won't listen to reason. She told me she has to cut ties to keep their sanity and her own. She's not the type to leave the people she cares for and now that there is no way home I'm afraid she will spiral." she turns to look him in the eyes her own misty though she didn't want to admit it. "I don't know how to help her with emotions. That's why I called you yesterday. Sarah can go to some very dark places."

Above them Sarah stands at the window holding her necklace that held the ring and the orca pendant as her grandma spoke on the phone. "So when you coming home kid?"

She could no longer hold in her tears and her voice cracked as she said the lie she knew was the most realistic thing her family would believe. "I'm so sorry…. It looks like I won't be making it home the cruise I booked home….the engine had a an explosion…." she drops to her knees unable to hold in her hiccups. "The ship is sinking in the ocean and the rescue crews are too far out...they won't make it and there's not enough boats for everyone…."

Her grandma's voice becomes panicked as she yells. "Sarah this isn't funny….this better be a joke!"

She had been on speaker so her mother and siblings heard her.

"I'm sorry grandma...I wish it was. I won't be coming home. I love you all with everything I have…" Sarah's face was covered with tears, her heart breaking as she heard her family trying to demand her to stop joking and just tell them what was wrong.

Sarah digs her nails into her palm clenching the necklace to her chest looking towards the ceiling hating herself for this. "Please tell David I love him and I am sorry I can't marry him but I want him to find someone to love and spend his life with them."

Ignoring their cries and her heart breaking as she says. "Goodbye I love you all, give Zoey a kiss for me."

She hangs up letting the phone go to voicemail as it begins to blow up before she shuts it off throwing it across the room into the wall.

Hearing the loud noise both FatGum and Nikki look at each other before running upstairs to find Sarah curled into the fetal position rocking back and forth weeping.

Nikki goes and hugs her patting her back not knowing what to do to help her friend. She knew Sarah had major depression and that this may just be what broke her for good. Nikki had crippling depression but Sarah had the suicidal depression that could make her harm herself just to stop the pain.

"Wh… When they...they call...I booked a cruise home...home...It..it sank...cruise..cruise called you." sarah manages to say.

FatGum's mouth drops his eyes widening as he understood then what the girl did.

Nikki nods squeezing her friend tighter before releasing her as her phone begins to ring.

She stands pointing to Sarah. "Do not leave her."

At his nod she walks out of the room so Sarah's crys couldn't be heard. Sarah turns to the bed grabbing a pillow to bury her face in not wanting to be seen as she breaks down.

FatGum walks over picking up the woman easily and sets her on the bed facing her away from him, understanding she didn't want to be seen like this. He grabs a blanket and covers her with it sitting behind her rubbing her back.

Sarah clutches the necklace in one hand pulling the blanket closer with the other.

Nikki answers her phone, her voice cracking. "Hello?"

Sarah's dad's voice makes her feel even worse. "Nikki? Is Sarah with you? Please tell me she's with you."

"No...she booked a cruise home and left last night...the cruise line people just called me..I'm sorry...but her ship sank…" Nikki says running a hand through her hair hating lying like this.

Both women knew that Sarah's family would be a major issue if they even suspected she was alive, Nikki had seen her mother track her down for a minor issue. Let alone this.

She also knew Sarah got her stubborn, bullheadedness from somewhere and Sarah had proven how resourceful and determined she could be when she hadn't answered her phone. She had gotten the other girl on her doorstep after three days of no communication.

Granted she had just been super busy and forgot Sarah had even messaged and called her.

"Why would they call you and not me?" He questions sounding suspicious.

Nikki paces as she speaks her voice cracking. "She put me as an emergency contact because she was going to surprise everyone back home. She told me before she left that her and David were going to get married but that she'd come back to visit me sometime."

Nikki hears a thump and muffled crying from the other end of the phone before the line goes dead. Sitting down sliding her phone in her pocket Nikki stares out the window before getting an idea and yelling she'd be back.

Sarah sits up from her restless slumber. She had fallen asleep from exhausting herself and as a coping mechanism.

Feeling a weight on her lap she pulls down the blanket that had covered her head to see a small black fuzz ball.

Blinking at it she looks around seeing she was alone, she tentatively reaches a hand out to the fuzzy object and jumps when it suddenly had two yellow eyes.

The fuzz ball uncurls itself revealing it to be a black German Shepherd with a white chest and white around its eyes. It blinks back at the girl before wagging it's tail and leaping forward.

Sarah catches the pup petting it feeling slightly better but missing her pup back home, she instantly knew this was a Nikki thing to make her feel better.

"Hi there," she holds up the puppy to see what gender it was "Handsome. Nice to meet you too." she says holding the wiggling pup to her chest and petting him.

The pup licks her chin, seeming content in her arms, Sarah had always had a way with animals which is why she often called herself a witch. She preferred animals to people.

She stands and carries the pup downstairs with her to find her friend to see if he had a name or not seems he didn't have a collar.

Finding Nikki outside on the patio sketching, something she did when stressed Sarah sits in the chair next to her. "Thank you. Whats his name?"

Sarah asks nuzzling the pup who licked her in return.

Nikki jumps for she had not heard her friend even come out or sit down.

Putting aside her sketch she turns analyzing her friend. "He doesn't have one, I found the poor thing running from some brats."

Sarah holds him closer kissing his head smelling him and about gags at the smell. Yup he needed a bath.

"Poor baby...hey where's Gummy?" She questions looking around.

Nikki blinks then remembers. "Oh he figured you'd be asleep longer so he ran home to get some clothes and stuff. So what's going on between you two?" She smirks leaning closer.

Sarah shakes her head eyes on the pup. "Nothing. Remember I was engaged up until a couple hours ago...it'll take me awhile to get over him...if I even do. Plus there would be no way he'd be interested in me."

Sarah stands carefully. "I'm going to give this little guy a bath…" looking at her friend her voice going soft. "Could you get some food and bowls and stuff for him? I'm pretty sure I'm on house arrest."

Nikki nods and follows her inside. "Yeah, collar too?"

Sarah nods. "I'll figure out a name and sew it onto the collar or use the engraver in the shop."

Nikki nods and slides on her shoes glancing back at her friend. "You going to be okay while I'm gone?"

Sarah nods again her eyes were dull but Nikki could see a little life in them. Nikki nods back and heads out leaving Sarah to her thoughts.

Sarah then goes to the bathroom and sets the pup down to check the shampoo and conditioner to make sure it would be safe for the pup.

"Ya know this is all wacky as all fuck. Who knew we'd be dropped into a different universe and so much has happened in so little of time its confusing. " Sarah speaks to the pup who sits listening to her tilting his head and giving a soft whine.

"Right you probably are a bit confused. You see there's a theory that there's several worlds separated by a thin veil. Don't ask me what the theory's called I don't remember. Anyway these two people tore it to bring Nikki and I here to help them...i really should finish decoding so I know the exact reason.." sarah rambles as she warms the water making sure it wouldn't be too hot.

She fills the tub a couple inches just enough to bathe the pup but not enough to drown him. "So anyway we get here, Nikki gets taken by villains and I trade a pizza for her…"

Sarah doesn't hear FatGum return and upon hearing her voice he follows the sound, setting his bag on the table before stopping outside the bathroom just listening.

"You probably don't care as you know this world. Wanna hear about my family?" Sarah coos scratching his ear making his tail wag.

He yips at her before she picks him up and gently sets him in the tub. "Well I'll take that as a yes." Sarah laughs.

The pup squirms before Sarah sits on the edge of the tub putting her feet in with him so he could see it was ok as she waited for him to settle.

FatGum leans against the wall watching the girl through the cracked door. He felt bad for spying on her but wanted to know exactly who she was and if she was indeed a danger to society or if last night was just emotions out of control.

"You see my dad is kind of a hard ass. But he made me strong and who I am, his impatience taught me patience. He taught me how to survive anywhere, to adapt and find my way. Though he also taught me to be alone by always being gone, I know he didn't want to. He had to so I could eat and have a stable home." Sarah pauses sensing something off.

She continues to soap up the pup as she takes a deep breath focusing on her senses. Realizing she had company by hearing a small shift and seeming to smell a freshly showered males scent.

'Gummy?' She thinks peaking over her shoulder seeing a flash of yellow relaxing a bit.

"Anyway, my family is crazy, full of headstrong people. Now we should really think of a name for you." She says scratching his chin.

"Hmm...how about Sarge?" He sneezes shaking , making Sarah laugh. "Alright no to Sarge. Maine? No let's go with Malik?" Sarah laughs when the pup perks up at Malik.

"Alright Malik it is." She chuckles just playing with the pup now.

FatGum watches for a minute longer before walking away. The girl wasn't talking anymore just cooing at the puppy.

He was relieved she seemed to be slightly better though he knew it would be a while before he really understood the woman. He still needed to figure out her punishment for the destruction.

Hawks was pissed she had made such a ruckus on his opening night for his club and the media was demanding to know if she was a villain or not.

Rubbing his face he looks around before making his way upstairs to look around more.

Sarah drys the pup and wraps him in a towel walking out after cleaning up the bath mess.

Looking around she spots FatGums bag on the table and hears movement above her.

Tilting her head she heads upstairs to her room standing in the doorway watching the tall man rifle through her desk.

"Here I thought you weren't a villain, rummaging through people's things and spying on them makes you seem kind of fishy." Sarah comments leaning against the door frame not really caring if he did it, it was the fact he was trying to be sneaky bugged her.

FatGum springs up flushing looking ashamed. "Sorry, I'm just doing my job…"

Sarah shrugs walking into the room to where he was. "Well you find anything there that's mine. remember we just moved in and all my stuff isn't in this world. So you're better off just asking me."

He ducks his head totally spacing that fact. "Right...I just saw you with a bag and papers...where are those?"

Sarah blinks and points to the bag next to her bed. "Your friend coded letters so I've been working on decoding them. Your friends did a lot of research on us to know I would know those codes and to have all this, " she waves to the entire house "exactly what Nikki and I would like. Even to the cars and such."

He blinks going over to the bag finding exactly what she had said. All the papers were coded and the journal they were in was covered in notes and more codes obviously Sarah had written to tdy and decode them.

"Why you two though? Not that I'm complaining. "He adds, holding up his hands.

Sarah shrugs looking out the window. "No clue. Though I think Nikki found some more on the computer she's been off. Like she doesn't want to tell me what she found, which means its something personal I wouldn't want people to see or know."

FatGum watches the girl looking for a sign of a lie finding none. She only looked irritated and sad.

"Such as?" He questions gently facing her.

He didn't want to do this but the other Heros said because his sidekicks did this he was responsible for the two.

Sighing Sarah looks over at him idly petting the now sleeping pup in her lap.

"I don't know. Ask her when she gets back. I know you're just doing your job but can you please not go all I'm a villain mode? Without Nikki and now little Malik here I have nothing to hold me here. Cause frankly had it not been for her I would have ended it the second I found I couldn't go home." Sarah says rubbing her face tears threatening to fall.

FatGum lets out a breath rubbing his face before going and sitting next to the woman.

"Sorry, even though this has happened before Barin was around to send them back. Because of last night I'm the one taking responsibility seems it was my sidekick who brought you here."

Sarah bites her lip staring at her hands. "I really am sorry….I know how I will pay back AllMight but Hawks is a different story...maybe I work a couple nights in his company or as a maid or something for free to pay for the damages? I know I don't have enough money to pay for it…"

FatGum blinks in surprise he hadn't expected the woman to even offer though it didn't surprise him from what he'd seen so far of her personality.

"That's not a bad idea," he rubs his chin in thought before bending down to look at her. "Though how would you pay AllMight back?"

Sarah hesitates scooting away a bit not meeting his eyes. "I...can't say. Talking about my world would affect Nikki so we'd have to agree on what we talk about."

"What would affect me?" Said woman questions confused in the doorway. "I got the stuff."

Nikki strolls in tilting her head holding out the bag to Sarah.

"Gummy has some questions about why we'd be the ones they chose and how I'd pay AllMight back for last night." Sarah explains opening the bag.

Without missing a beat Nikki shoots back while sitting in Sarah's desk chair. "Oh that? She'd help with watching the kiddos and be a punching bag. I mean her quirk is perfect for it…..Holy shit! I know what your quirk is!"

That makes Sarah's head snap to her friend confusion clear before she smacks herself realizing it herself. "Fuck I'm dumb."

""Adaptation."" Both girls say in unison making FatGum amused.

"Huh that means what I saw was correct then." Nikki states spinning in the chair. "They didn't really want us. But our quirk are pretty badass for what will come."

Sarah raises an eyebrow shrugging as she pulled out the silver collar and puts it on the now awake Malik who just laced on her lap.

"So let me guess they had ideas of what our quirks would be based off of personalities but because of our temperaments didn't want us in specific. " Sarah guesses looking over to her friend.

"Bingo." Nikki affirms using finger guns. "Though my guess is they took the chance on both of us due to is balancing each other. Get just one of us and we'd be disastrous, but both we're more likely to help."

FatGum does a time out motion. "Woah, woah just wait a minute if only one of you were here you'd go villain on us?"

Both girls share a look before shrugging. "Yeah."

"Pretty much."

"I mean not now but maybe later on cause fuck crispy is hot for being old." Sarah mutters looking through the bag to see all what Nikki had gotten.

"Dude no." Nikki says pointing at her friend who shrugs.

"I didn't say I'd date the dude. He's more of a one nighter anyway. I mean come on the dude would be toxic until he straightened out his shit and I doubt he will. Plus I don't think I'll be finding anyone here…" Sarah says pulling out a rope teasing the pup.

"I'm sure you'll find someone here. Just take your time, though I'm not sure who you two are talking about. How do you know so much about this world?" FatGum questions rubbing the back of his head.

"Right. Uhhh Sarah explain." Nikki says motioning to her friend who in return gives her a look of 'thanks, asshat.'

Before turning and giving a nervous chuckle. "Well you see, this in our world was a show based off a Manga that we used to watch….and it seems we were dropped in the very beginning so we have a fairly good idea of what will happen if we don't fuck things up too badly."

He stares at the two unsure of how to respond.

Sarah springs up seeing the pup beginning to sniff around the bed and snatches him up running downstairs and outside. Just in time cause the second Malik touches the grass he hikes his leg.

Nikki sighs somewhat worried about the potty training bit but knowing her friend she'd have the pup trained rather quickly.

"I think we all need time to process especially Sarah right now...so I'mma be in my room. You do you and she'll do her." Nikki says rubbing her arm before going downstairs to her room shutting the door.

Feeling restless she looks around before walking over to the exercise equipment and doing some light stretching before beginning to lift weights.

Both women knew they'd have to be stronger to survive and make a difference. They knew they couldn't always rely on their quirks.

The next couple weeks Nikki starts looking for a job and going through the files in the evenings.

FatGum would leave after Sarah had promised to only go to work then come straight home, going as far as giving her a new phone that tracked her whereabouts. Sarah wasn't a fan of it but upon inquiry was accepting it as long as it was only him and AllMight. FatGum would leave early in the morning and return in the evening in time to join the two for dinner that Sarah normally would have ready and on the table every night by six.

Sarah had begun making soap and selling it at the market every Tuesday and Thursday usually selling out within a couple hours of setting up shop. As punishment for Hawks new club she had to sing every Monday and Wednesday night from eight at night to ten. During this she also had repainted the house to a neon green with dark blue trim with glow in the dark paint. She had also fully trained her pup who was rapidly growing.

Both woman trained on their own to get stronger which was beginning to show as they both lost weight replacing it with toned muscles.
