Chapter 14:Friends Pt.1

(Nurses Office)

"Owww." The nurse was applying ointment on Snow's burn marks. Saya and Ace were trying to contain their laughter from seeing Snow negatively react to the ointment.

"Oh so you can feel pain Snow." said a sarcastic Saya.

"Yes I can feel pain Saya." Snow retorts while he winces again from the ointment that's being applied. "Although I appreciate it, you guys didn't have to stay with me."

"But we wanted to Arisato, You're our friend." Snow smiled at those words. Friend was a word he's getting accustomed to hearing. All his life Snow struggled to make friends due to his shy personality but within one short week he's friends with everyone in class 0, well minus one person.

"Thanks Kaji." The nurse continues the treatment and starts to bandage his left arm and shoulder since that part of his body was more exposed to Flare's flames. She finishes up and gives Snow a good once over before sending him on his way. She grabs a bag with a spare uniform in it and hands it over to Snow.

"Ok we're done here Arisato if you feel any more pain or discomfort make sure you come back to me or a doctor ok. You can use the bathroom to my right to change your clothes."

"Thank you and I'll be sure to let you know if anything is wrong," Snow hops off the bench and stretches his arms out. Snow heads into the bathroom and changes into his school uniform. Once done he walks, bows and thanks the nurse for treating his wounds and the trio of teens walk out the office and head towards the indoor training facility.

"So Arisato I guess you know what upgrades to make to your suit. I'm pretty sure the support team could make it fire resistant."

"Yeah but I'm afraid what Kisara would do to me knowing my suit is half burned. Good thing she didn't make the mask."

Ace was confused at Snow's response."Who's Kisara?"

"Oh right it's not really common knowledge. I don't get my gear from the support team here. Kisara makes it for me. She's a good friend of my dad's and she's been making gear for him for years and now me. She's also like a 3rd parent. My mom and dad trust her a great deal and I do too."

"That's very cool 's like you have a whole support team to yourself. Also find it really nice that a friend of your dad's would also be a parental figure."

"Yeah she's great.""Although I could do without the constant teasing. At least it's out of love."

Ace deduced that since Kisara is a friend of Snow's family he figured the same would apply to Saya. "So Sasaki, did Kisara make your costume too?"

"Yep. She did an amazing job with it too." They continue to talk about their hero costumes until they reach their destination.

(Observation room/debfreing room)

Snow,Saya and Ace enter the room and are greeted by Deuce and Cater.

"Good to see you're ok Arisato."

"Yeah glad to know my ice buddy hasn't melted."

"Yeah it was nothing really. But thanks for the concern Hanazawa and Chihara."

"Of course that's what friends are for." Deuce says with a smile. Once again Snow is delighted to hear the word friend. Only within a short week he's on good terms with everyone(barring Flare) and they even consider him a friend. They all take their seats as they see the next fight is about to start.

Once everyone has gone through the mock battle Minato tells everyone to change back into their uniforms and meet him back in the classroom to go over the results. Everyone heads to the changing rooms except Snow. Snow walks behind Minato and Minato strikes up a conversation.

"So Arisato tell me who trained you. Your fighting style isn't something you see in an everyday fight."

"Oh my dad taught me. Since I have to use my own blood for my quirk, learning systema is a good way to not be reliant on it. I'm also still figuring out how much blood I need to use but I definitely feel myself improving with each day."

"So it was systema. It definitely fits his demeanor. Systema is a relatively passive fighting style." "That's good to hear Snow and your dad is a hero? What kind is he spotlight or underground?"

"He's an underground hero."

"Now it's starting to make sense,Snow's awareness of his own surroundings,his fighting style and his costume all scream underground hero." "So do you want to be an underground hero like your father?"

"I'm not sure yet actually but I'm considering it."

"Well wherever you decide to take your hero career you'll do an amazing job at it."

"Thank you !" The two continue to walk the classroom and wait several minutes for the rest of the class to arrive.

(Class 0)

"Alright everyone did an amazing job out there. Both hero and villain teams showed the trust you all have in each other. There were some bumps during the mock battle." Minato looks over to Sice and Jack from their constant arguing during the conitune "But use this time to iron out those bumps. Who knows when our next team exercise is. Also make sure to hand in any request forms to the support team to make any changes and or upgrades to your costumes."

"I wonder if adding fire resistant material would slow me down." Class proceeds as normal with their academics until it's lunchtime.

(Cafeteria)

As per usual everyone sits at one table together minus Flare who sits farther away from them. Everyone talks about what they did in the mock battle but mostly fawn over Snow's over the top actions.

"Guys it was nothing really." Snow says as he has a shade of red on face.

"Dude you literally jumped out of a window. That's not nothing." Sice said bluntly.

"I guess you're right, Sawashiro." Saya was smiling at Snow and amused at how he's handling the bombardment of compliments he's receiving. This gave her an idea.

"Hey guys, how about we hangout this weekend. I know our friendship is still new and all but I think it'll be a great idea to get to know each other outside of school." Saya turns over to Flare's direction."You're welcome to join as well Izayoi!" Saya yelled

Without making eye contact, Flare raises his voice and says"Not interested!"

Saya shrugs her shoulders."It was worth a shot." She turns her head back to her friends. "So what do you guys think?"

Ace was the first to speak."Yeah it's a great idea Sasaki. I'd be down to hangout."

"Yeah me too!" Jack chimed in.

"Well it's last minute but I'm sure I can make it.''Said Deuce. One after another everyone else in class 0 agreed to the idea of the hangout on the weekend. Meanwhile Snow although wasn't showing it was mentally freaking out at this idea.

"What is Saya doing! I can't do this,that's way too many people!" Before Snow could open his mouth to give an excuse Saya cut him off.

"It's settled, we'll all meet at my house,I'll text you guys the address in the group chat."

"There's no escaping." Saya looks over to Snow and gives him a cheeky smile knowing well that Snow would try to get out of the get together. It's not that Snow didn't want to get to know his friends more, it was more so he's never been around so many people before that wasn't his family. Everyone continues to eat their lunch and talk about the potential things they can do tomorrow while Snow tries to mentally prepare himself for tomorrow.

(Class 0)

The day rolls on by and everybody is packing up ready to head home. During it though Saya starts to remind everyone to meet at her house.

"Guess I didn't specify a time, does1 o'clock work for you guys?"

"Yeah that works for me." Cater said. Everyone else also agreed to the time and Snow was glad that he had some time to himself to mentally prepare himself for the day.

"Great! I'll see you guys then!" Saya said happily. She grabs Snow's arm and rushes out of the classroom once the final bell rings.

"H-hey!" Was also Snow could say before leaving the room. Everyone watched in confusion but also found the sight hilarious. Considering they all saw Snow jump out of a building and fight Flare, he was calm,collected and a bit cocky,it was like a different person and yet Saya always managed to bring out Snow's more emotive side.

Once outside she lets go of Snow's arm and they start walking home. There was an awkward silence between them. Saya was finding the words to a topic but was coming short due to her knowing what Snow was already thinking. She couldn't deny that she felt bad about hosting this get together and not see how he felt first. She's done this on numerous occasions in the past during their childhood and felt the need to finally apologize for her brash behavior.

"There's no use in dodging it." She turns her head to Snow. "I'm sorry Snow. I should've asked you if you were ok with all of this instead of forcing you into it."

"I-it's ok,really."

"You don't have to lie to me Snow. I usually act and make decisions with myself in mind but never think about how you would feel." Snow was taken back from Saya's confession. It's as if this apology he was receiving was one he should've gotten a long time ago. Snow stops in his tracks and Saya does as well and they make eye contact. His cerulean eyes met her light blue eyes. Snow starts to speak in a calming tone.

"Saya, I would never lie to you and you know this. I can tell this is something that's been eating up inside you for a while." Saya gives no response but Snow takes her silence as an answer. "It's true you do act on impulse but that's what makes you, well you. You have no regrets,sure it would be nice to be clued in"Especially with something like this" but I know that you're doing this for me rather than for you. Which I appreciate."

"R-really?" Saya asks

"Yeah it shows you care about me. You know how hard it is for me to make friends. Remember that one time when we were 10 and you practically dragged me to the theaters with that one group of classmates that liked kamen rider." Saya nods her head and remembers the specific moment Snow was talking about. "Sure at first I was pretty upset but you saw how quickly my mood changed once the movie started. I was glad that you brought me and sure I may not be friends with those people but at least I can hold a conversation with them." A smile starts to creep on Saya's face from Snow's words. The conversation didn't exactly go where she thought it would but glad it did. Snow continues "Without your very forceful push." Snow laughs while saying the last part before continuing."I wouldn't be where I am today. I truly consider everyone at class 0 friends. Well barring one person but you get what I mean. So thank you Saya." As soon as Snow finishes Saya gives a big hug. Snow's face starts to turn a bright shade of red and awkwardly hugs her back.

"I'm so glad you aren't mad at me." Saya says into Snow's shoulder.

"I-I could never be mad at you Saya"

They stay in each other's embrace for a while until they break away and start to walk home in a very comfortable silence.

(Arisato household)

"Hey mom, I'm home." Snow starts to walk into the living room and doesn't hear a response from his mom. "Mom?" Snow called out once more. He places his bag on a couch and heads to the kitchen for something to drink. Once at the fridge he sees a note left on the counter and he reads it."Working at the shop today could use your help when you get back." Snow opens the fridge and grabs a water bottle and heads to his room to change his clothes. Snow takes off his school uniform and grabs a plain white T-shirt and black pants along with a pair of black sneakers. He puts them on and goes into one of his dresser drawers and grabs an apron. Since it's a small business run by Saori mostly and with the help of either Yukina,Snow and Saya, matching work uniforms wouldn't be necessary.

Snow is usually there with his mother on the weekends and days off from school which he didn't mind. He loved being around the flower shop and it was another way of spending time with his mother which he was always happy about.

Snow walks out of his room with an apron in hand and finishes his water bottle and throws it in the recycling bin. With that he makes his way down the street to the flower shop.

(Arisato's flower shop)

Snow stands in front of the building and starts to put on his apron and heads inside. The bell jingles from the door opening and Saori lifts her head and smiles once she sees her son. Snow returns the smile with one of his own.

"Hi mom."

"Hi sweetie. How was school?"

"Eventful to say the least." Snow continues to walk to his mother and walks behind the counter to stand by her side. As Saori was about to ask for details she was cut off by a customer walking into the store. They both turn their heads to the customer to greet a well dressed man walking to the cash register.

"Hello and welcome,how may we help you today!/Hello and welcome,how may we help you today!"

"Hi I would like some flowers but I'm not sure on which ones to get." Saori spoke up first.

"Well you've come to the right place. Flowers are gifts for many occasions,what's the occasion for them?" The man places a hand on the back of his neck before responding.

"Well it's for a proposal if that helps."

"Awww,I know the perfect flowers." Saori turns to Snow."Snow could you go get some carnations please."

"Sure mom." Snow walks towards the back room but is stopped by her mothers words.

"Don't forget to wear gloves!" Snow turns back around and grabs a pair of gloves from the box underneath the counter and heads to the back room. "Soooooo,who's the lucky lady?"

"W-well me and her have been together for about 3 years and we've talked about our future together and she may or may not have alluded to the idea she's ready for marriage." The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small black box with the engagement ring to show Saori. "The ring doesn't look bad does it?"

"Of course not! It's beautiful and I'm sure she'll love it."

"Thank you for that. I've been nervous about this whole situation."

"Understandably so and I know she'll say yes." The man smiles at Saori's words. Snow comes back with the bouquet of carnations and hands them to his mother. Saori takes them and punches some buttons on the cash register and tells the man how much it is.

"Cash or credit?"

"Credit." The man swipes his card and the purchase goes through. Saori hands the man the bouquet and he happily takes them.

"Enjoy the rest of your day sir!"

"I will thank you." The man walks out of the store and Saori starts to think about how Hayato proposed to her. Although their proposal wasn't planned moreso a spontaneous spur of the moment after finding out she was pregnant with Snow. Nonetheless she was elated once Hayato got down on one knee and proposed to her and hasn't looked back since. Snow and Saori continue to help their customers.

Once the day is over Saori closes up shop with Snow's help. Once done they step outside the business and Saori locks the place and they make their way home. During the walk home Snow starts to tell his mother about his day at school while dancing around the fact that he's hanging out with his friends tomorrow. Saori had a feeling that Snow was hiding something but couldn't figure out what. But her mind jumped from that to what Snow had done during the team exercise. She was both amazed and a bit mystified by her son's action. In particular, he was willing to jump out of a window from a tall building.

"Maybe he's more like his father than I thought." "That was an interesting endeavor to hear, to say the least. You don't mind if I look at those bandages when we get home, Snow."

"Of course not mom." They continue to walk home and Snow decides to hold off on telling his mom about tomorrow.

(Arisato household)

After checking Snow's arm and putting on new bandages Saori starts to make dinner and Snow helps out. This was another thing Snow loved doing. He's always had fun cooking with his mom and hopes that one day he can cook her a meal as good as the ones she makes. Today on the menu was katsudon. Snow was cutting various vegetables while Saori was preparing the pork.

"I wonder when dad will get home?" As if on cue Hayato walks through the front door and his hero costume is still on and makes his way to the living room. A foul odor wafts through the room.

"Hi Saori,Hi Snow," Hayato says before plopping himself face first onto the sofa.

"Rough day honey?" Saori says while pinching her nostrils together.

"Mmmhmmmm" was muffled through the cushions. Saori couldn't help but laugh and couldn't wait to hear what Hayato went through today. As of late Hayato has been helping around more of the spotlight heroes in Aptos. More specifically the grim reapers Eyepatch and Phantom. Which has led him to some crazy adventures outside of his norm.

"Well dinner will be ready soon. You can tell me all about it after you've showered,don't want you stinking up the food." "I should probably deodorize the Sofa while he's in there." Saori received another muffled response which she assumed was an "ok". Hayato got up and made his way to his study to undress and then head into the shower.

One cooked dinner and shower later everyone is sitting at the dinner table. Hayato looks much more refreshed than he did previously and has a smile on his face because he gets to eat. Something he hasn't done since noon. In between bites Hayato shares his day about the absurdity he went through with 2 different villains.

"He called himself what dad?" Snow says while laughing.

Hayato could barely keep a straight face before saying"The underminer. He just kept on going on and about his grand scheme. I have never had to deal with a villain that talked this much. He just wouldn't shut up."

"What was he even trying to do Hayato?" Saori asked in between her laughs.

"He wanted to drill under banks with his quirk and take money but turns out he's never done it before."

"What! No way. The way you're describing him he's had to have done one heist before." Hayato begins to recount his day.

(Flashback)

"If I have to hear this man declare his name one more time I'm going to lose it!" Hayato stood in front of the short pudgy man in a mole-like costume. He was currently shouting out his plan of drilling under monetary buildings and stealing whatever money he could.

"Hey are you even listening?!"

"Why me." Hayato takes in a big deep breath and exhales out loudly before speaking. "Yes I have been listening! Can we just get this over with already?"

Kisara starts to speak to let Hayato know the information she has on the villain he's facing. "Hey Hyorinmaru don't want to get you more agitated than you already are but apparently this guy hasn't done anything. He was just a petty thief before today."

"You can't be serious."

The mole man starts to talk again "I the Underminer-"

"Alright that's it." Hayato starts to run towards the man to quickly finish this. Once the mole-like man saw that Hayato was approaching him he immediately drilled into the ground. His quirk allowed him to twist and spin his body like a drill to burrow underground. Hayato stops in his tracks and looks around to see if the Underminer has popped up anywhere. "Where could you have gone?"

A few seconds pass and Hayato feels a vibration from under him and instinctively backflips to dodge whatever was coming up from the ground. The Underminer emerges from the ground and looks around and spots Hayato. He once again burrows into the ground to go for another attack. They repeat this process several times until Hayato catches on as to how he's finding him.

"He's able to feel the vibrations I make from my dodges. He won't be able to catch me when I'm airborne." Hayato starts to create his distraction by running in a random direction. Once he starts to feel the ground rumble beneath him he launches himself into the air with an ice pillar. The Underminer emerges from the ground again and is faced with an ice pillar.

"When did this get here!? I could've sworn that hero was right here." Hayato dives bomb down with a fist exteneded out.

"Above you!" Hayato shouts out right before clocking the Underminer's head knocking him out instantly. Hayato rolls once his body hits the ground and stands up. "Thank god that's over. I don't have to hear him talk anymore." Hayato walks towards the body and drags out mole man from the hole and ties him up and cuffs him with quirk suppressant cuffs. He picks up the unconscious body and carries it over to a street lamp and lays it against there. Hayato then reaches his hand behind the lower part of his ear to contact Kisara. "Please let either Eyepatch or Phantom to pick up their package. I don't know how long he's gonna be out for and I don't want a migraine by the end of the day."

"They should be on their way."

"Thank you." Hayato ends communication and patiently waits for the duo of heroes to show up. Within a matter of minutes the duo show up. Eyepatch wore a dark black cloak with a hood covering his skin tight black leather suit that doubled as a muscle suit to improve overall performance. He also wore his famous black eyepatch over his left eye only leaving his red eye exposed. Phantom wore a similar looking hooded cloak but in a dark shade of purple with a similar leather suit like her partner. She also wore a black face mask to cover her eyes. They both take off their hoods to reveal their hair. Eyepatch had grayish white colored hair and Phantom had lilac colored hair. "About time you two showed up." said an agitated Hayato.

"Hyorinmaru you do know we're heroes as well right?" Phantom retorts. "Did this guy really give you that much trouble?"

"If only you knew/If only you knew." Hayato and Eyepatch looked at each other since they shared the same sentiments and Hayato was not a fan of that.

"Wait. You KNEW who this guy was and didn't bother giving me a heads up."

"Well not that I didn't want to, it's more like… yeah I'm coming up short with an excuse. It honestly slipped my mind. Great job though!" Eyepatch said in hopes of not getting on Hayato's bad side. These three have gotten quickly acquainted with each other after the Ayabe incident. Hayato didn't exactly consider them friends but more like trusted allies. The grim reapers also shared those sentiments as well but have been trying to close that gap and be friends with Hayato. But Hayato hasn't really been keen on sharing who he was for a multitude of reasons. First and foremost due to Vagabond still being on the run he can't be too careful on who might be allied with him and second Hayato just didn't feel like the relationship he had with them needed to go further beyond trusted allies.

Although the thought has crossed his mind to invite them over for dinner just for Snow. Snow still looked up to the grim reapers and hoped that one day he could meet them.

Hayato lets out a loud sigh and places his hand on his forehead. "If I still have this headache by the end of the day I will find you." Eyepatch gulps from the threat albeit an empty one but still a threat. Throughout the commotion the Underminer wakes up but as soon as his mouth opens Hayato takes out a small rope and tightly wraps it around the mole man's head covering his mouth. "Don't you dare open your mouth!" Hayato looks over to the grim reapers. "You two can handle it from here right? Because I don't want you two to be liable for what I might do to him."

Phantom starts to talk."Yeah we got it covered." Hayato thanks Phantom and starts to walk away.

(Present)

"I wish I was out there with you Hayato, sounds like you had a lot of fun." Saori says while laughing.

"You and I have two totally different meanings of fun. How anybody is able to put up with a mouth like that is beyond me."

"So what about the horrible smell that was coming off of you dad? What did you do to go through a sewer?"

"Well…" Hayato starts to tell another story.

(Flashback)

Hayato was currently running after another villain. Thankfully this time he wasn't big mouthed. But this villain had a peculiar costume. Peculiar in the fact that it was made out of trash. Parts of old clothes,trash bags,scrap metal,worn out boots and a garbage bag over his head acting as a mask.

Kisara was currently searching for any leads on who this villain was and found some interesting results. "So Hyorinmaru with the description you gave me ummm this guy is part of a gang called the dust men. They call themselves that because well just look at them."

"Dust men? Trash baggers would be better suited. What else did you find?"

"You need to work on your one-liners."

"Just tell me what else you found." Hayato retorts.

"Ok,ok don't get mad at me now. No one knows their leader's identity but their upbringing happened way before the grim reapers showed up. Once they came onto the scene they took most of them into custody including their leader. This guy must be a remnant of what's left."

"Alright then this should be easy enough." Hayato continues to run through the streets and backs the lone dust men into an alleyway. The garbage man backs himself against the wall and sees his pursuer slowly walking into the alleyway. "You have nowhere to run. Just give up,don't make this any harder than it needs to be." The dust man slowly slides his back against the wall shaken with fear. "Wow this guy must be really scared or really young. Maybe a combination of both. I didn't even use any intimidation tactics." Hayato continues his slow approach.

The dust man smirks underneath his mask and places his hand on the nearby dumpster and trash bags start to fly towards Hayato. Hayato just barely dodges them. "He can manipulate garbage. I'm not even surprised." During the commotion Hayato sees that his prey has gotten away but notices something. The manhole cover was out of place. "WHY ME!" Hayato loudly yells.

"Hayato what are you doing, go after him."

"This is the last time I'm taking out someone else's trash."

"That one was slightly better."

Hayato shakes his head and moves the manhole cover and slides down the ladder and into the sewers. Once at the bottom of the ladder he looks around to get his bearings. He slowly walks arounds and notices footprints that were left behind in the sewage waste. He kneels down to confirm his findings and looks up and sees a trail. "Good this won't take long." Hayato gets up and starts to follow the trail. He doesn't run in case his footsteps echo through the tunnels but keeps a moderate pace in his walk speed while silencing his footsteps.

After following the trail and taking a winding road he hears the muttering of someone. He nears a nearby wall and takes cover behind and takes a peek to see who it was. He's finally found the dust man; he rears his head behind cover and decides to listen to the person's ramblings as best as he could.

"I think I got away from that hero, Lord Alden. I will find the remaining members of the dust men and break you out of jail."

"This guy can't be serious." Hayato mentally sighs to himself and thinks of how he's gonna take this lone man out. Normally this would be an easy task for him but being in the sewers meant he was surrounded by trash everywhere. "What am I doing!? I'll just charge at him because he's way too focused on his plan." Hayato rounds the corner quickly and runs at full speed at the trashman. The dust man looks up and sees the hero that was chasing him before was only moments away from him. He quickly acts by maneuvering the scraps on his outfit as projectile attacks. Hayato weaves through the metal effortlessly. He reels his fist back and aims his punch at the villain's chest but it was blocked by a shield made of, you guessed it trash from his costume.

Hayato reels his fist back from the sudden pain and the dust man starts to run. "Oh no you don't." Hayato starts to run after the villain. "I'll be damned if I have to stay in the sewers any longer than I have to!" The dust man tried to round the corners of the sewer as fast as he could but Hayato was never too far behind him. Eventually the dust man slows down in pace from his tiredness and Hayato takes the opportunity to tackle the villain down to the ground. "Gotcha!"

A loud thud accompanied by a splash was made when their bodies hit the ground. Hayato quickly knocked out the villain and was successful this time with his strike to the head. Hayato takes out the quirk suppressant cuffs and cuffs up the villain. He then gets up and realizes what he's done to his outfit. He lifts his arm up and looks at the coat he wore in disgust. It was littered with sewer waste and had a horrible odor from it. Thankfully the mask filters out the scent. "I don't think I have any spares either." Hayato lets out a sigh and puts his head down in defeat. After sulking for a minute he begrudgingly picks up the dust man puts the body of his shoulder and heads to the nearest ladder to climb out of it.

Hayato moves the manhole cover with one arm and is welcomed with sunlight and fresh air. He places the villain's body to the side and climbs out of the entrance/exit and closes the manhole cover back up. He then contacts Kisara to give her an update.

"Alright the deed is done, let the grim reapers know where I'm at."

"On it."

A couple minutes pass and the grim reapers meet up with Hayato. They both approach Hayato and are met with a horrid smell. They instantly placed a hand over their nose to block out the smell. Eyepatch looks at the state of Hayato's costume

"Hyorinmaru what hap-" Eyepatch was cut off by Hayato.

"Don't. Ask." Was all Hayato said. "Please just take out the trash." Eyepatch took his hand off his nose and braved the stench and picked up the villain and the grim reapers left Hayato to his own devices.

"Alright, that one was pretty bad, Hayato."

"IT WASN'T ON PURPOSE!"

(Present)

"Yeah Kisara is right, you need to work on your one liners if you're gonna continue working with spotlight heroes." said Saori

Hayato puts his head down in disappointment. "Yeah I know.." Meanwhile Snow was laughing at the ordeal his father went through. Hayato looks over to his son and his laughter makes him instantly smile. It always brings him genuine joy with moments like these he shared with Saori and Snow. He looks over to his son's arm and notices the baganges. "I guess you had a pretty eventful day at school Snow? Tell me all about it,surely it can't be as bad as mine."

"Sure dad fair warning I don't say bad one liners."

"Not you too Snow."

Snow starts to recount his school day to his father also leaving out his commitment that's planned for tomorrow. Hayato's reactions ranged from surprised to prideful.

"Glad to know you had a better day than mine. Good job on that building jump, surely you'll impress the girls with that stunt."

"D-dad!" Hayato laughs at his son's flustered state. He then focuses his attention on Saori.

"So what did you do today, Saori. End of the week usually brings some interesting customers."

"Nothing unusual but I did help a man pick out some flowers for his proposal."

"Proposal. That brings back a lot of fond memories."

Saori has a big smile on her face. "It sure does." Snow can't help but smile at this interaction. Ever since he found out about his dad's past he's always loved seeing his parents happy. They deserve it for all of the endeavors they have faced.

30 minutes have passed and Saori and Hayato are cleaning the dishes while Snow is in his room doing his homework. Hayato has something on his mind that he would like to share with Saori.

"Hey Saori."

"Hmmm?" Saori perks her up.

"Is Snow hiding something?"

"Oh good, I wasn't the only one who had this feeling he wasn't telling us something happened." Saori and Hayato start to think of things they may have happened at school. Saori goes first."Do you think he got in trouble again at school?"

Hayato shakes his head before responding with"No he would've been fidgety the entire time during dinner. Do you think a girl asked him out?"

Saori lets out a small laugh."Don't think so. He would've been silent the entire time at the shop and here."

"True. Well it's better just to ask him ourselves." Saori nods in agreement so they finish cleaning the remaining dishes and head towards Snow's room. Saori knocks on the door first.

"Snow can we come in?"

Snow faintly hears his mothers voice through the headphones. He takes them off and looks towards his door. "Yeah mom, you can come in." Hayato opens the door and Saori enters first and Hayato follows. Saori sits on the edge of Snow's bed and Hayato stands next to her. Snow finishes up the last problem he was working on and swivels around his chair to face his parents. "Is everything alright?"

Hayato spoke up."Yeah everything is alright. Me and your mother just have a feeling that there's something you're not telling us."

"Of course you don't have to if you aren't ready to Snow. We don't want to force this out."

"How could they tell? Well here goes." Snow clears his throat before speaking. "Sorry if I'm making a big deal out of this but I got invited"More like rangled.'' to hangout with my friends from school this saturday. Although it was more of Saya's idea, sorry for not telling you two earlier."

Hayato and Saori were relieved that it wasn't something serious that had happened to Snow. Saori spoke in a soothing tone. "Snow you don't have to be sorry about that. We both know how hard it is for you to make friends. I think I speak for both of us here when I say, we also think it's a great idea for you to go and hangout with your friends." Hayato nods in agreement as Saori continues to talk. "I wanna say yes for you to hangout with your friends but do you want to Snow? I can already tell that you're pretty nervous about it."

Snow was also relieved that his parents weren't mad at him. He thought about what his mother said to him although he didn't need much convincing since his mind was made up already. "I want to mom. It's a big step for me and I have to take it." Snow said with determination.

Hayato and Saori smiled at his response. "That's great to hear, sweetie. What time are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Uhhhh around 1 or so. We're also meeting up at Saya's house"Thankfully not here."."

"Let's see you get up around 8,go for your morning exercise, come back to shower,have breakfast,watch some kamen rider and play some guitar and when that's all done it'll be around 12pm or so. You're only leaving yourself an hour so to mentall prepare yourself Snow." Hayato says in a playful tone. Luckily Snow is privy to how his father jokes around and Snow's fine with it. He wouldn't have it any other way.

"Yeah I know that's why I'll wake up at 7. I have 2 hours to mentally prepare myself for the day."

Hayato lets out a small laugh at his son's response and walks over to him, places his hand on the top of Snow's head and ruffles his hair. "Then you better get to bed early."

Snow lets out a small laugh as well."Yeah yeah I know. Thank you for understanding mom and dad."

Saori gets up and gives Snow a hug. "Of course sweetie. I know how hard it is for you to make friends but I'm so proud that you're taking this big step." Snow returns his mothers and Saori break away from their hug and she and Hayato leave Snow's room and wish him goodnight.

Hayato and Saori head towards their rooms and change into their pajamas. Normally Hayato is out like a light once he lays down but he's having trouble trying to sleep. He turns over to face his wife who's reading a book. Saori notices out of her peripherals Hayato shift position in bed. She looks over to him and their eyes meet.

"Having a hard time sleeping?"

"Yeah there's something on my mind."

Saori folds the corner of the page she was on and puts the book down into her lap."What's wrong Hayato?"

"Well…You know how I've been working with the grim reapers lately."

"Yeah what about them?" Saori was curious as to why Hayato was bringing them up.

"Well I guess Snow wanting to hangout with his friends has me thinking maybe it's about time I get to know them." Saori lets out a small giggle from Hayato's statement."What's so funny."

"Oh you know,two of the most important people in my life are having trouble making friends." Hayato has a slight blush of embarrassment on his face. "When do you plan on getting to know them?"

"They actually invited me out to lunch tomorrow. I already know that they're a couple so how would you feel about joining me?"

"Do you want me to hold your hand as well?" Saori said mockingly. Hayato once again has a slight blush from his embarrassment. "But yes I'd love to. The shop is closed tomorrow so it works out."

"Thank you Saori."

"Anytime Hayato."

(The very next day)

As predicted Hayato guessed Snow's schedule to a T. Wake up for morning workout,shower,breakfast and is now currently watching some episodes of kamen rider wizard. Snow decided to watch a bit more than what he usually watches since he's nearing the end of the show. As Snow finishes up watching an episode he looks over to his phone on the side of his desk and sees that it's 12:30 and figures he should start getting ready. He takes off his headphones and places them on his desk and makes his way to the closet.

"What should I wear? It's not like it's something formal so it's ok to wear something with a design on it." Snow's closet consisted of shirts ranging from kamen rider shirts,shirts that had his favorite bands on them and simple shirts. Snow takes out a black t-shirt with a yellow kuuga symbol,a dark blue and purple plaid button down shirt,and a pair of black jeans. He starts to take off his clothes and starts by putting on his pants and eventually his shirts. He leaves the button up shirt open and is having a mental debate if he should roll up his sleeves or not. "Would keeping them down make it more formal." BeforeSnow walks out of his room to get an answer from his mother, he grabs his headphones from his desk and puts them around his neck.

Saori hears Snow's room door open and sees him walk into the living room with one sleeve rolled up and the other kept down. She couldn't help but laugh and get up from the sofa to help her son's noticeable dilemma. Not without having a little fun first.

"Is that a new style you kids came up with?" Snow was knocked out of his stupor when his mother started talking to him.

"Oh uhhhh no. I wasn't sure if I should roll up my sleeves or not." Saori lets out a small laugh before helping Snow.

"Roll them up, that gives you more of a casual appearance."

"Ok." Snow rolls up the sleeve on his left arm

Saori starts to speak again before Snow could ask his next question. "Wear a pair of running shoes." Snow nods and has a slight blush on his face for his embarrassment. Saori was always a natural at reading Snow.

Snow goes back to his room to find a pair of running shoes that would match with his outfit. A quick thought pops into Saori's head. "Snow, wear your messenger bag as well."

"Ok" Saori walks into her shared bedroom and looks for the box that Kisara gave her this morning. After rummaging for a bit she found the small black box and brought it to the kitchen.

Snow walks out with his black messenger bag around his body and wears a pair of black and white running shoes.

He sees that his mother is in the kitchen and walks towards her and notices the small black box in her hands "Hey mom, what's in the box?" Asked Snow.

"I can't believe I'm about to do this." Saori opens up the mask and it was Snow's mask. It has the exact same design as Hayato's and is smaller to fit his face. Snow is amazed and also confused as to why his mother has his mask. "Kisara made 2 masks, one for your costume and one in case of emergencies."

"Emergencies? Like what mom?" Snow wore a confused look on his face.

Saori begins to elaborate."Well Aptos is a relatively quiet town but as you know crime happens anywhere. I need you to keep this with you at all times not to fight crime but to get out while concealing your identity." Snow quickly understood what his mother was saying. Since quirk use for fighting crime and in general without a license was enough to get someone in jail. Especially for the former being considered vigilantism.

"I…I understand mom." Saori hands Snow the mask and Snow puts it in his bag.

"Do you still have your gloves you train with?" Snow nods. "Bring those as well." Snow does what he's told and goes to his room and takes out his gloves and puts them in his bag as well. He walks back to the kitchen with his mom.

Saori still has more to tell him. "I just want to make this very clear. If you even smell trouble, put on the mask and gloves and get you and friends out of there immediately and call Kisara once you're safe. From what you've been telling me about your classmates you're the only one who's been taught to be constantly aware of your surroundings and look for possible escape options."

"I will mom you can count on me." Snow says with determination in his eyes. Saori smiles at Snow's determination and starts to feel relaxed, opposed to the tenseness she had during her explanation and warnings.

"Ok with that out of the way some ground rules."

"M-mom I'm not 5!"

"You're not an adult either." Snow had no rebuttal. "Besides it's nothing serious, all I'm asking of you is to call me 10 minutes before you're coming home and occasionally let me know where you're at. And no flirting with other girls. I don't think you want to see Saya jealous." Saori and Yukina have witnessed first hand the few times any girls had talked to and got too close to him and saw the reaction Saya had. The strange part of it all is that Saya is completely oblivious to her own jealousy.

"M-mom!" Snow says with a slight crack in his voice and a shade of red on his face. Snow inhales and lets out a sigh loudly.

Snow was somewhat privy to Saya's jealousy but was more oblivious as to why she was jealous. Saya has even gone as far to give Snow the silent treatment for a few days. Naturally Snow is left confused as to why and has asked his mother and even Yukina but not never got a straight answer.

Saori lets out a playful laugh before saying "I'm only kidding.''I'm really not, please for your sake Snow don't catch the eye of another girl. I fear for what Saya might do now." But I am serious about the other 2 things though."

"I-I know mom and I will. How about I text you when we decide where to go."

"That's perfect. Now you should get going. I don't want to hold you here any longer. Make sure you have everything with you."

Snow opens up his messenger bag and checks off his mental checklist."Keys,wallet,mask,gloves,yeah that's everything." Snow starts to walk out the kitchen until his mother stops him.

"Don't forget to bring some water bottles. You're technically still on the mend from your last fight." Naturally when your own blood fuels your quirk you need to replenish with water.

"Oh right, thanks for reminding me mom." Snow turns back around to open the fridge and takes 3 water bottles and places them in his bag. He then makes his way out the kitchen and to the front door. Before he opens it he's stopped once again by Saori's doting. Saori walks out of the kitchen and to Snow.

"Make sure you stick to your diet as well." Snow nods. Snow has a specific diet to follow as well after extensive use of his quirk. Foods that are rich in vitamin B and C were good sources of faster blood replenishments. Snow reaches for the doorknob and opens the door. Before he steps out, you guessed it,he was stopped by his mother. "Snow,have fun." Saori says with a warm smile.

Snow smiles back at his mother before saying"I will mom. I'll text you as soon as we know where we're going. Bye mom."

"Bye Snow." With their goodbyes, Snow walks out the house and Saori closes the door behind him. She walks back to the living room to sit down and thinks to herself. "My baby boy is growing up. And I couldn't be any happier."

(Aptos' streets)

Snow was casually walking down the street and was interrupted by his ringtone. He takes his phone out of his pockets and sees that Saya is calling him. He answers the call and places the phone near his ear.

"Hey Saya."

"Hey Snow, where are you? You're the only one that's not here."

"Oh uhhhh,I'm on my way right now. You guys can probably meet me at the crossroads."

"Ok good oh and heads up we all decided to call each other by our first names now."

"Oh ok,thanks for the heads up Saya."

"No problem, see you in a few."

Snow hangs up and puts his phone back into his pocket and starts to pick up his pace to the upcoming crossroads. A few minutes pass and Snow notices the big group of teens. Ace turns around and sees Snow and starts to wave at him. Snow notices and waves back. Ace had on a red shirt with the ryuki symbol on it,khaki pants and red sneakers.

"Hi everyone, sorry for making you all wait." Snow says with a bow. Saya couldn't help but giggle at Snow's formalities but she loved that about him.

"Don't sweat it Snow. we just got here." Ace says to reassure Snow.

"Thanks Kaji, oh wait I mean Ace." "This is gonna be an adjustment but I'll be fine." Snow noticed Ace's shirt and recognized the design instantly. "Nice shirt Ace."

"Thanks,I like yours too Snow." Ace says with a smile.

Cater moved to the front of the group to get a better look at Snow and couldn't help but give a flirtatious whistle at Snow.

"Looking good there Snow." Cater says with a wink, Snow starts to blush by that and could barely respond back.

"T-thank you Cater." Snow says while trying to maintain eye contact.. "Wow, she's incredibly forward!" From the few glances he had taken at Cater he saw that she was wearing a light blue long sleeved shirt, a black miniskirt,black knee high socks and white shoes. Snow figured he should return the compliment to show some courtesy. "I-I like your outfit as well Cater."

"Thanks cutie." Cater says with another wink which had Snow's face grow an even darker shade of red.

Saya had taken notice at the interaction and had a feeling she was all too familiar with. Jealousy. Rem notices the jealous look on Saya's face and whispers into her ear. "Jealousy Isn't a good look on you Saya."

"I-I'm not jealous!" Saya said in a defensive tone.

"Sure you aren't." Rem puts one arm behind Saya and brings her in closer."But from one girl to another,I know how it feels to see a "friend" be with other people." Rem was speaking from experience. Although it wasn't common knowledge within the whole class Rem and Machina were also childhood friends, but not as close as Snow and Saya are due to them not being able to see each other everyday. Rem only confided this information to Saya since they became quick friends during the first week of school.

Saya lets out a defeated sigh and droops her head."Am I really that easy to read."

"Yeah."

"Gee thanks Rem."

"No problem." Rem says with a cheeky smile. "But if I were you,I'd take the initiative right now while Snow is talking to Ace." Saya nods her head and makes her way to Snow. As she approached him and Ace she overheard a snippet of their conversation.

"Yeah I finished episode 47 today. I'll probably be done with wizard by tomorrow."

"That's great I'm curious to hear your thoughts about the series,personally I really liked it and definitely an adjustment from a writing standpoint."

"Yeah I see what you mean-" Snow noticed Saya walking towards him and was immediately captured by her appearance. Saya had her hair pulled back into a ponytail and left her 2 strands of hair framing her face. She had on the paramore shirt Snow gave her on one of her birthdays. It was white with the riot album cover art on it. To accompany the shirt she had on blue shorts,black knee length socks and white sneakers.

Ace notices that Snow stopped in mid sentence and looks behind to see Saya. "Oh that's why he froze up." Ace places his hand on Snow's shoulder and it catches his attention.

"Sorry about that Ace!"

Ace waved it off."It's alright Snow." Saya was now next to Ace. "Hey Saya."

"Hi Ace, Hi Snow."

"H-hey Saya." Snow says while trying to maintain eye contact. "I'm hopeless."

"He's so adorable." Saya thought. Saya strikes up a conversation. "So I overheard your conversation and I forgot you were watching wizard. Have you watched the magic land movie yet?"

Snow quickly responds to not make himself look awkward. "N-no not yet. I usually watch the movies when I'm done with the series." This gave Saya an idea.

"Hey, we could watch it together next week if you'd like."

"Yeah I'd like that Saya." Ace smiled at the interaction and slowly backed away to not ruin their conversation.

A few minutes pass and everyone got quickly acquainted with Snow since he was absent when they all met. Snow was also able to get a look at everyone's outfit and was thankful that he didn't stand out.

Starting with Trey he had on a black shirt with a bow and quiver design on it,along with cargo shorts and green running shoes.

Jack had on a red tank top,black shorts and red sneakers.

Machina and Rem had on matching shirts. It was the album art of Frederic and Keina Suda's answer album. Machina also wore blue khakis and black and white shoes. Rem wore red shorts and red and white running shoes to accompany her shirt.

Sice had on faded blue jeans with cuts on them, a black nirvana shirt which was her favorite band. She wore a jean jacket over the shirt and had black shoes to finish up her outfit. She also had on a pair of black headphones resting on her collarbone.

Cinque wore a bright yellow shirt that had bannanya cat on it. She also had on white shorts and white sneakers.

Finally Deuce had on a light pink skirt with a sleeveless white shirt with a flute design on it. She also wore black heeled boots with black and white striped stockings.

Saya had proposed the idea of going to the mall and everyone was now heading to the train station. Saya and Rem were in the front of the group but not too far away since Cater had taken a liking to Snow and has stuck to the right of him ever since they left. Everyone was giving out ideas for what they could do at the mall. Saya was about to say something until she was cut off by a woman screaming.

"SOMEBODY HELP! THAT MAN STOLE MY PURSE!"

They all saw the interaction from afar and the thief was running down the street further escaping eyesight. Everyone had looked at the man running and just as Ace was gonna act. Snow handed his bag to Saya and darted past the group.

Before running any further Snow shouted out" I'll meet you guys at the train station I'll handle this!"

Everyone had a look of bewilderment from Snow's steadfast behavior. Ace, still wanting to do something, was about to run down the street alongside Snow. But Saya stops him in his tracks.

"I know how you feel Ace but let Snow handle this."

"But I have to do something."

"You and I both know we could get into trouble for acting out, Snow can't."

Ace wore a confused look. "How come?"

"Well…."

Back to Snow and him currently running after the thief,he wasn't too far from him. The thief looks behind and notices his pursuer and ducks into the first alleyway he saw. Snow does the same and makes a hard left and is running down the connected alleway. At the end of the hall they enter into a market avenue. There were various stores on the sides of the street along with a lot of foot traffic.

While the thief brute forces the passersby out of his way,Snow dodges and quicksteps his way around them. On occasion Snow would shout out "Everybody move out of the way!" The thief makes even more headway away from Snow and grabs a rock at the ground and throws it at Snow.

Snow notices the incoming object and slides under it and continues his pursuit. They eventually pass by a place with a stack of crates. The thief decides to knock down the stack of crates in an attempt to trip up Snow.

Snow sees the crates in front of them and doesn't have enough time to jump over them so he does the next best thing. During mid run Snow cocks one of his legs back and lets it rip onto one of the crates and barrels towards the thief's back. Causing him to stumble a bit and gives Snow some leeway to catch up.

Before running any further from the store clerk with the crates Snow shouts out"I'll pay for the one I kicked!" and continues down the streets.

Both Snow and the thief near the end of the market avenue and the thief makes a hard left back out to the streets. Snow does the same and they're both running down a familiar street."We circled around. There's way too many people here. I'll use the buildings to my advantage."

The thief swerves around a man on his phone and Snow, not having any time to react to the oncoming person,jumps over the person by extending his arm out on placing it on the man's shoulder causing him to bend and Snow leaps over. Before running any further Snow quickly apologizes."Sorry about that sir!"

They both continue to run and the thief runs through a street where cars come through. He decides to pick up his pace and have the car form a distraction to break away eye contact. Snow prepares for this by getting ready to vault over an oncoming car. And he does just that Snow vaults over the car flawlessly and he sees ahead that they're nearing where he left his friends.

Snow sees his friends and goes into a full sprint and shouts at them"Everyone move to the right!" They all looked behind them and to see where the familiar voice was coming from and didn't move given the sudden warning."Fine I'll use the wall right there." The thief avoids the group all together and Snow runs on the side of the building and rolls once he lands and continues to run.

Everyone looked at Snow with amazement from that wall run.

"He's gotta teach me that!" Jack exclaimed.

"Snow's just full of surprises, isn't he Saya." Ace says, looking towards Saya. All Saya could do was shrug her shoulders and continue to look at Snow.

The thief was slowing down considerably and Snow took advantage of that. As he's getting closer he lunges himself towards the thief and tackles him down to the ground. "Gotcha!" Both of their bodies hit the ground and Snow sat on top of the thiefs back and took the purse of his hands.

Snow's friends ran up to him but before anyone could speak a man with short purple hair and black eyes who wore a police detective's outfit walked in front of them.

"Yo."

Snow looks up and smiles at the man he recognizes. It's Makoto Kobayashi. "Hi ,I caught the thief for you."

"I see that." Makoto says with a small laugh. He takes out his radio to inform higher ups. "Suspect has been caught,it's a citizen's arrest no quirks were used." Snow could hear static coming from the radio but couldn't make out what the other person was saying."No we don't need to interview the citizen,I'm acquainted with him." Makoto puts the radio away and takes out a pair of handcuffs. He gestures to Snow to get up and he does just that. Makoto places the cuffs around the thief's wrist and takes him to his car and closes the door once he's in it.

Snow hands the stolen purse to Makoto."Here you go ."

Makoto pushes the purse away and towards Snow."I think it'll be better if you gave it to her." Makoto says while pointing at the lady whose purse was stolen.

Snow nods and walks over to the woman and hands the purse over. "Here you go, miss."

The woman happily takes back the purse. "Thank you so much. I think you deserve a reward." The lady opens up her purse and tries to take out her money but Snow quickly waves it off.

"Oh you don't have to do that, miss! Helping you was a reward itself."

"Could I at least know your name?" the woman asked.

"Yeah,it's Snow Arisato,hero in training." Snow says with a confident smile.

"I'll make sure to remember that,thank you once again Snow."

"Only doing what's right." The woman bows and walks away.

Saya and the rest of the group walk up to Snow. Saya hands Snow his bag and Snow takes it."Hero in training huh?"

"I-it's all I could think of on the fly." Snow's while scratching the back of his head

Makoto walks up behind Snow and places a hand on his shoulder."Has a nice ring to it Snow and hi Saya."

"Hi ." Saya says with a wave.

Snow reaches into his bag and takes out his wallet and hands some money over to Makoto."If it's not too much trouble could you please give this to the man with the knocked over crates in the marketplace. I destroyed one of their crates and would like to at least pay for it."

Makoto takes the money."Sure thing Snow,I can do that for you." Makoto starts to walk away. "Have fun you two and tell your parents I said hi." Makoto says while walking away.

"Will do/Will do." Snow and Saya said in unison. They both look back to their friends and start to explain how they knew Makoto and explain why it was ok for Snow to go after the thief.

"That makes sense. Look at you Snow always trying to one up us whenever possible." Said Sice.

Hayato thought it was a good idea for Snow to help around Aptos with some of the smaller crimes like petty theft. At first Makoto and Saori were against the idea because of it being borderline vigilantism but through enough convincing from Hayato. Snow was able to help out in a small way with the caveat being no quirk use at all. And if it requires his combat prowess he has to stay away so people don't get the wrong picture of a teenage vigilante taking justice into his own hands. Snow has started to build up a small reputation through his acts and even taking a step further to even volunteer helping out at soup kitchens for the homeless.

"I wouldn't say one up." Snow says with a slight blush

"But it's still nice of you to help around for the smaller stuff Snow. Not many people would've done that." Deuce stated.

"Yeah I can't really say I know too many people who help around the town they live at our age." Trey added on.

"Thanks you guys." Said Snow.

After some more praising, the group of teens started to walk towards their destination again,this time with no interruptions. Once they got to the train station they didn't have to wait too long for one to arrive. Once it comes to a full stop and opens its doors everyone starts to walk in and take their seats. Snow sits down and Cater joins him and sits to his left a little too close. Saya tries not to show her jealousy and takes action and sits to Snow's right just as close as Cater was. This caused Snow to blush furiously and immediately put on his headphones to hopefully calm himself down. "Why is this happening to me!?"

Author's note:

Hey guys hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Had a lot of fun writing it and wanted to have some shenanigans for Snow and his friends. Let me know how you guys feel about the flashbacks for Hayato. Those were pretty fun to write as well. Speaking of which, that leads into the references. The first reference was the underminer from the incredibles. Recently I rewatched the movie and thought it would be funny for Hayato to get annoyed by his personality.

Next is Alden and the dust men. They are from infamous which is a game I highly recommend playing if you ever get the chance to. I just wanted some background for Aptos and just to point out how ridiculous the concept of the dust men are. They are literally a gang that use trash it's so dumb compared to the reapers and the first sons.

The next reference isn't really one,the chase sequence that Snow went through is akin to what yakuza lost judgment chase sequences are in that game.(Can't wait to play the Kaito dlc).

The conversation between Snow and Ace was actually one I had with a friend and at the time of writing of the chapter I was at episode 47 of Wizard. But at the time of writing this I'm actually done with the series and absolutely loved it. And it's even given me an idea for this story or I should say how I should go about a certain idea. It won't be a carbon copy but it'll be a little bit inspired by Wizard(and blatantly named dropped like it was in this chapter.) but it's mostly an idea I had at the start. But this won't be implemented until much later down the road.

I finally gave character descriptions for Eyepatch and Phantom,admittley I should've done that a long time ago. But better now then never and they will appear in the next chapter along with Hayato and Saori for their lunch date. Next chapter will also be about what Snow and his friends will be doing at the mall.

Before I let you guys go I've been thinking about writing a story about Hayato and his life. I've had a ton of ideas for it and would love to get some opinions on it. Of course this story will be my main focus but every now and then I could have a chapter go up for the next potential story.

That's all for now guys,I already have the next chapter story boarded so all I have to do is write it up,edit and revise it. Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and I'll see you in the next.

Stay safe and take care.
