A/N: We deeply apologize for taking so long to make this. Life kept kicking both of us in the peanut sack. It's a little late, but I hope you all had a Merry Christmas.


Dusk had descended upon the City-Z Ghost Town on the next day, and most of the apartment monsters were simply relaxing as they awaited the return of Saitama and Genos. Most were simply relaxing, thinking about the underground hot spring they visited yesterday, while two were tending to a little project of theirs.


Vaccine Woman and Ki were quietly working on the garden they had set up inside the Ghost Town. They had found a perfect place between two buildings, once they had cleaned up all the rubble of course, and had planted a variety of flowers, fruits, and vegetables. Not only was it to give Saitama a little free food every now and then, but it was nice to see something other than crumbling buildings.

"Well, aside from the spots that we had to replant due to those other monsters wrecking it earlier, the garden's coming along nicely." Vaccine Woman commented.

"Yeah. And if it does well enough, I'm thinking of expanding. A few trees would be nice too. Especially some fruit trees." Ki said while watering a small cabbage patch with some green water.

"What are you watering the plants with?" Vaccine Woman asked when she noticed the strange color.

"Just a little homemade fertilizer. Don't worry. It's completely safe." Ki assured with a friendly smile.

"Alright. But if anything happens to us, I know who to blame." Vaccine Woman warned before turning back to the roses they planted, completely missing Ki's smile form into a wide grin.

"Wow. I didn't know this was out here."

Both monsters turned to see Genos and Saitama walking towards them, making them both smile and approach them.

"Welcome back, Saitama!" VW greeted with a big hug, which caught the bald hero off guard for a moment.

"Um...nice to be back." he said before awkwardly hugging back. Genos merely watched while Ki started to bristle, especially when VW shot her a look that said 'I'm ahead.' The purple monster let go and stepped back after a moment of satisfaction before smiling at Saitama.

"How was the trip?" she asked.

"It was pretty fun. We relaxed, met the other Class-S heroes, and enjoyed the free food and everything." Saitama explained.

"Indeed. Though there was a minor incident, the trip was still very pleasant." Genos added.

"What incident?" Ki asked, trying to keep calm.

"Oh. Someone tried to kill one of the heroes." Saitama said, like it wasn't a big deal.

"WHAT?!" both monsters yelped.

-Dawn of the Same Day. Saitama-

The Class-B hero was soundly asleep after a night of partying, with Genos in a separate room. His eyes opened for a moment as he came to, remembered he was at the resort, and turned over to go back to sleep.

"AAAHHHH!" came a woman's scream of terror.

The bald hero's eyes flew open as he jolted out of bed, got dressed, and ran out of his room, with most of Class-S already running through the halls towards the source of the screaming.

"Master!" Genos called as he ran by.

"I heard!" Saitama nodded as he followed after Genos and the rest of them. When they all got there, they were quite shocked at what they found.

Blood on the walls and floor. Certain body parts either ripped or cut off. And in the middle of it all, lying face down with a sword in their back, was Zombiewoman.

-Present-

"Wait, what?! Zombiewoman, the hero everyone calls immortal, was killed?!" Midori gasped in shock.

Saitama and Genos, not wanting to keep repeating the story over and over, decided to have everyone gather up on the roof of the apartments so that they only had to explain it one time, all while having a nice rooftop dinner/cookout. Captain Mizuki was absent due to doing her hero duties and going out on patrol, and Newtina was gone as well, saying she was working on something in her spare time. What it was, none of them knew, but were assured by her that it wasn't a threat to anyone or anything.

"How could she be killed?!" Nori asked.

"We'll get to that part. Don't worry. It's a happy ending." Saitama answered with a smile, much to the monster's confusion.

"So what happened?" Beast Queen asked.

"The little kid hero, Child something-or-other, started to interrogate everyone." Saitama replied.

-Flashback-

Child Emperor stood over Zombiewoman before turning to the sheet they placed over the parts of her that were cut off, then stood up and spoke.

"We'll start with the weapon that was used." he said as he looked at the unique sword lodged in her back. "Atomic Samurai?"

"Yeah, that's my sword." AS confirmed. "I left it unattended in the banquet hall last night. Guess somebody nabbed it." he explained, earning a grunt from the young hero. "Don't believe me, huh? Well I can't be the culprit. All of us were drinking together not too long ago."

"Indeed." Bang said with a nod, explaining that he, Atomic Samurai, Iaian, and Superalloy Darkshine were all sitting together chatting and drinking at the party, a fact that Tank-Top Master confirmed as he saw them while talking with Sitch.

"Why not question the one who found the body first? Wouldn't they be the most suspicious?" Atomic Samurai asked.

"That would be the staff, so they're off the list." said Bang. Nobody questioned that logic, knowing that an ordinary person couldn't take out a Class-S hero. Child Emperor looked around and noticed that Flashy Flash was silently staring at the ground before noticing that Pig God and Watchdog Man were absent. His gaze stopped on Saitama before his eyes widened in remembrance.

"Now that I think about it, you were asking Zombiewoman a strange question." he said to the bald hero.

"Yeah. I asked if she would survive if I punched her." Saitama nodded.

"Hey, are you insinuating that it was Master Saitama?!" Genos asked while glaring down at the child hero.

"You can't deny that a lot of things about Saitama is a little suspicious. For all we know, he could be a spy." Child Emperor said before looking at Saitama's usual expression. "Well...maybe not with that face." he said, which angered Saitama.

"Look brat, if you honestly think that Master Saitama would do something like-" Genos began before stopping, a thought coming to mind.

'Wait. Maybe Master Saitama could've done this as a way to test Zombiewoman's claim of regenerating from fatal wounds.'

He then turned to Saitama and began to whisper. "Do not fret, Master Saitama. If it comes down to it, I shall defend you at your trial."

"KNOCK IT OFF! I SAID IT WASN'T ME!" Saitama snapped.

"Calm down. Right now we're just checking out everyone's alibi." Child Emperor explained, hoping to stop all the yelling.

"Then can we hurry it up?" Metal Bat asked with a groan, earning the looks of everyone present. "What? I ain't a morning person, alright?!"

"Well since you want us to get this over with, why don't you tell us what you were doing last night?" Atomic Samurai asked.

"Drinking apple juice, since I'm a minor." the bat wielding hero answered. "So don't go thinking I did this!"

"Um."

Everyone turned towards a staff worker, who looked like she wanted to say something.

"Actually, the truth is...the body was discovered by somebody else." she said.

"What? Who?" Child Emperor asked.

"Him!" she yelped while pointing down the hall. Everyone turned to see King standing there with a serious look on his face.

"Oh, King! You found Zombiewoman?" asked the youngest hero.

"Indeed. I found her that way and went to the front desk. I also covered her and her chopped off parts with a sheet. Didn't feel right to have it all on display." he explained.

"I'm sure she'd appreciate that." Child Emperor said before gaining a serious look. "But now that you're here, how about you tell us what you were doing last night?"

"Simple. I ate dinner, then I took a bath in my room before going to sleep." King explained.

"You what? This resort is famous for it's outdoor baths. Why would you bathe in your room?" Metal Bat asked.

"Because I felt like it." King answered, a low rumble beginning to sound out from within him.

"Is that the King Engine I hear?" Atomic Samurai asked with a grin. "Come to think of it, I've never seen King fight before. Maybe we'll see it now."

"If you're looking to challenge me over my honesty, then you best prepare for the worst." King warned, his King Engine beginning to roar and making a few of them nervous.

"Ugh! Are you morons still arguing about this?!" came Tatsumaki's irritated voice. Everyone turned to see the petite esper floating towards them all, a look of annoyance on her slightly red face as she glared at them all. Her curly hair was disheveled and all over the place like she was moving around her bed while asleep. Her clothes looked hurriedly thrown on with her kimono looking as if it was about to fall off with how loosely it was tied. Finally was her eyes that looked baggy and tired as if she had little sleep and requiring more.

"Sheesh. Woke up on the wrong side of the bed or something?" Metal Bat joked before he and many of them suddenly found themselves restrained, unable to move a muscle. "What are you doing?!"

"My head hurts and it's too early for this crap!" she groaned as she floated above them and held her hands out to them all. "Since we can't figure it out, I'm restraining you all until we can figure it out!"

"Oh yeah? Then why aren't you restraining those two?" Flashy Flash asked, calm but irritated at her behavior.

"Huh?" she said before looking over two see King and Saitama weren't being held down. "Must've missed them." she growled, internally blaming her hangover for missing them. "I'll fix that." she said while aiming a hand towards them, but stalled when she heard the King Engine rumble. "What?! You wanna fight or something?!" she snapped.

"Do you really think that restraining us is necessary?" he asked her while crossing his arms. "Especially when we can simply ask Zombiewoman who attacked her."

"And how do you propose we do that?!" the esper asked.

"I'd be happy to answer, but only if someone pulls this sword out of my back first."

Everyone shifted their eyes down toward Zombiewoman, who was looking up at them all with a frown.

"Oh hey. She's still alive." Saitama said.

"Uh...right." Tornado muttered before her power ceased, allowing everyone to move again.

"Now, the sword?" Zombiewoman repeated.

"I got it." Atomic Samurai said before easily pulling it out of her back.

"Thanks." she said as the wound closed up before she got to her feet. "That was starting to get uncomfortable." she grunted before noticing them all either looking away or closing their eyes while blushing. "What are you all doing?"

"Here."

She looked to see Saitama holding his robe out for her with one hand while covering his eyes with another.

"You may want to put this on." he said. She raised an eyebrow at that, wondering why he was offering it when she had her own robe. She looked down to see that, due to the damage the upper part sustained, left her topless.

-Present

"You mean she accidentally flashed everyone?!" Midori cackled while a few of them laughed.

"Yeah. I looked away when it happened." Saitama explained.

"And offered her your robe at the same time? Aren't you the gentleman?" Ki said with a smile.

"So what happened? Did you guys ever find out who tried to kill her?" the Deep Sea Queen asked.

"Well, we asked her what happened after she got dressed." Saitama began.

-Flashback-

"So what happened to you, Zombiewoman?" Child Emperor asked the now clothed hero.

"I don't know. I was pretty drunk last night. I do remember taking a walk to clear my head before suddenly being impaled by that sword." she explained while gesturing to the sword Atomic Samurai was now holding.

"So you didn't see who was using Atomic Samurai's sword?" Bang asked.

"No, but that was because nobody had it." she said, earning confused looks from everyone. "It flew at me out of nowhere, and was covered in a green glow. Like that." she finished while pointing at a floating Tatsumaki.

The esper in question eyes widened in shock as everyone looked at her, making her growl at them.

"What are you all looking at?!" she snapped. "I know that she can't die, so there'd be no point in me doing something like this!"

"Really? Then can you tell us what you were doing last night?" Child Emperor asked.

"I don't remember." she answered.

"I'm not surprised, considering how drunk you were last night." Saitama spoke up, making them all look at him.

"She was drunk last night?" Metal Bat asked.

"Now that I think about it, we never got to hear what Saitama was doing last night." Child Emperor said in realization before turning to the bald hero. "What exactly were you doing?"

"Me? Well, a friend of mine made me something to snack on during the trip, but forgot to pack chopsticks." Saitama began. "I went to get some from the kitchen staff, but came back to find her eating my food, her face all red from being drunk."

"Are you calling me a thief?!" Tatsumaki yelled while getting up in his face. "I'm a hero, you bald bastard! Unless you have any proof, then shut up!"

"...um..."

Everyone turned to see Sitch standing there, a nervous, yet slightly blank look on his face.

"Is something wrong?" Darkshine asked.

"You all may want to see this." Sitch said while gesturing for them to follow him.

-Moments later-

Everyone had gathered around a security monitor to watch the events that had unfolded last night. They watched as Zombiewoman appeared on the screen before suddenly being impaled by a flying sword, followed by a drunk Tatsumaki appearing.

"Guess we found our culprit." Atomic Samurai chuckled while the small esper's cheeks turned a little red from embarrassment. A blush that grew as it showed her laughing her drunken ass off while slashing at Zombiewoman with the sword while cursing her body, claiming she was showing off earlier.

"Maybe you shouldn't drink so much?" Flashy Flash said with a small smile while Metal Bat laughed it up at her behavior. Zombiewoman said nothing, as it hadn't been the first time her body had been cut to pieces.

"And we now cut to over here." Sitch said as he brought up an image of Saitama leaving his bento behind before running towards the kitchen. It then shows Tornado floating by before stopping at the food.

"Oh, this looks yummy!" she slurred before she started making the food float and eating it one piece at a time.

"Told ya." Saitama said while Tornado glared at him while Sitch stopped the video.

"Fine! I'm sorry I ate your stupid food and attacked Zombiewoman! Happy?!" she yelled before flying off. "Call me when the trip's over!" they heard her say.

"Well that just happened." Tank-Top Master said.

"Perhaps in the future, precautions should be used to keep any all alcoholic drinks away from her." Genos said stoically.

"Might be a good idea. If it had been anyone besides Zombiewoman, it would've been really bad." Child Emperor added.

"Well, things like this usually happen when you're drunk." Zombiewoman brushed off, earning looks from all the others.

"No, not really." Saitama said with a smile.

"Well, let's get back to our trip." Atomic Samurai decided before everyone dispersed, ready to enjoy the rest of their day.

OMAKE

The trip was over and the heroes and Sitch were all packing to go home. The Hero Associate Executive was inside his room, making sure he had everything packed. He did one last runthrough of his items before discovering something was missing.

"It...It's gone?!" he yelped in terror before he began frantically searching his belongings. "It can't be! It was here last time I checked! I have to find and destroy it before anyone else can get their hands on it!"

"Are you talking about this?"

Sitch turned towards the doorway to see Child Emperor standing there, a serious look on his face and a small disc in his hand.

"Ch-Child Emperor!?" Sitch gasped as he gazed at the disc. "Why do you have that?!"

"You were looking nervous while hiding this disc containing security footage of this resort, so I got curious about what was on it." Child Emperor explained. "I haven't viewed it yet, but only because I want to ask you first. What's on this disc?"

Sitch looked nervous as he looked at young hero before releasing a heavy sigh.

"It's more footage of Tornado." he began. "Footage that, if leaked to the public, could cause untold damage beyond anything we've ever faced."

"Are we talking about damage to the Hero Association's reputation, Tornado's image, or actual physical damage?" Child Emperor asked.

"All three." Sitch answered, making the child hero blink in surprise.

"Really?" he asked before looking at the disc. "What is on this disc?"

"If you wish to see it so badly, then you may watch it. However, you must destroy it afterwards and never speak of what you see. Understand?" Sitch ordered in a tone that said he was serious.

"Alright." Child Emperor said while shrugging his shoulders and putting the disc into his backpack before a little monitor came up.

"Meet us later after you're done." Sitch said while taking his suitcase and leaving the room.

"Right." the hero responded as he started watching the footage. "What didn't he want anyone to see?" he asked himself as he got to where he was earlier with the video, with Tornado eating the food.

"Hey! That's my food!" came Saitama's voice before he appeared on the screen.

"Huh?" Tornado said while looking at him, her face red from drinking. "I didn't see your name on it, Baldy!" she huffed before eating another piece, the last piece floating in front of her. "Want the last bite?"

"Yes. It was my food anyway." Saitama huffed.

"All this over a bento?" Child Emperor asked with a bored look before Tatsumaki moved. "What is she...What?!" he yelped when he saw her place the last bite between her teeth before offering it to him.

"Then come get it." she said with a smile.

"Oh man. No wonder Sitch wants this destroyed! If word got out, forget the image and scandal this would cause. Tornado would go balistic on everything!" Child Emperor whispered.

"Cut that out! Children shouldn't be acting like that!" Saitama yelled-whispered, a nervous look on his face. Tornado then scowled before eating the last bite.

"Quit calling me a child, you dumb baldy! I'm 28 years old!" the esper growled.

"What? No way." Saitama waved off, clearly not believing her drunk ramblings.

"It's true, egghead! I'm just...small!" she huffed while looking away and grumbling.

"So you're saying that you're a midget?" Saitama asked.

"Oh boy." Child Emperor groaned, knowing that was going to set her off.

"YOU-" she started to say while whirling around to bite his head off, only to stagger and wobble in the air. "...my head hurts." she groaned while grabbing her head and floating to the ground.

"Hey. You alright?" Saitama asked while kneeling down to her.

"Huh?" she said while looking at him, her eyes a little glazed over. She then looked at his head before she suddenly started laughing and pointing at his head. "HOLY CRAP! YOUR HEAD IS SO SHINY!"

"Wow, you're bombed out of your skull." Saitama commented before standing up and turning around. "Which direction is your room? I'll take you there to-"

"Guess who?" she said while holding her hands over his eyes while squeezing her legs around his head and riding on his shoulders, making him stumble a bit.

"Wha-?! Hey! Get off me!" he said in annoyance.

"Hold still, baldy." she chuckled while rubbing his head. "I'm gonna use your head and look into the future."

Child Emperor had to clamp his hand over his mouth after that to keep from laughing.

"That's a new one." Saitama grumbled before speaking up. "Look, which way is your room? I'll drop you off...You listening to me?"

"zzzzzzz"

"Did you seriously fall asleep up there?!" he snapped, a tic mark appearing on his forehead. "Screw it! I'll dump you somewhere and hope it's the right room."

Child Emperor watched as he took her to her room and left here there before stopping the tape and deleting it.

"Oh man. Tornado would level everything if she learned about that." the child hero snickered before calming down. "Well, hopefully nobody else learns of this."

-City-Z, later that day-

The monsters were all laughing it up after Saitama told them what had happened during the trip.

"THAT IS JUST TOO FUNNY!" Kogane howled with laughter while tried to get some air into her lungs from laughing too much.

"I didn't think it was funny." Saitama huffed before grumbling. "Especially since she drooled on my head before I got her back to her room." That just sent them into laughter once more.

"Shame about the bento. I put so much work into it too." Ki sighed.

"Yeah. I can tell that you and your sisters all pitched in because of all the different kombu used." Saitama commented.

"What?" Ki asked after that last bit. "I only put my kombu in your bento...uh oh. I made one for Mizuki too. I think they got mixed up." Ki said after realizing what happened. "Sorry. I'll make you another one for another day."

"Thanks." Saitama said.
