*Knock Knock*
"Hm?" Saitama sounded as he put down his mixing bowl "I wonder who that could be?" He asked as he walked over to the door.
As he had done with the the sisters, before opening his door Saitama looked through the peephole as to know who was standing on the other side and the moment he saw who it was a smile found it's way onto his face as he opened the door.
"Hey King." He greeted causing the other to upon hearing it smile as well.
"Hey Saitama." King replied "Hope I didn't wake you up." He said.
"Nah you're cool." Saitama assured "I'm actually making breakfast if you want some." He offered.
"Oh thanks." King said as he walked in.
"So why're you over so early?" Saitama asked as he closed the door behind him.
"Well I actually wanted to stop by and see if you were okay after yester-" King began to say until his eyes fell upon the two ESP sisters.
"Oh yeah these two stopped by too." Saitama said as he went back to the kitchen.
"It's an honor to meet you King." Fubuki spoke as she got to her feet "My name is Fubuki, though my hero name is Blizzard Of Hell and my rank is the number one in B class." She introduced as she held out her hand.
"It's nice to meet you." King replied as he shook her hand "But you don't have to act so formal." He told her.
"Right sorry." She apologized before sitting back down next to her sister.
"So King." Tatsumaki spoke gaining his attention "What're you doing here so early in the morning?" She asked as if her presence within Saitama's abode was to be expected.
"I just wanted to check on him to see if he was okay is all." He answered.
"Check on me?" Saitama questioned from the kitchen as he began to stir the contents of the mixing bowl "Why?" He added.
"Because I've never seen you get so angry before." King answered "It was like I was looking at a completely different person." He admitted.
"Yeah you were pretty intense Saitama." Fubuki chimed in "Though it WAS really sexy~" She thought as a light blush came to her face.
"Well yeah of course I was." Saitama said as if it was something they should've expected "Looking past the fact everyone was going to fight over something ridiculous Zombieman got hurt, and if the damage was worse than what it seemed someone was gonna pay." He explained.
"But it wasn't just what you said Saitama, it was also that aura you gave off it was like you changed into something else." King argued.
"What do you mean?" Saitama asked.
Thinking as to how he could possibly describe it in a way which would make the most sense King as he thought back to that moment had the word which had popped into his head at that time appear again.
"...It was like you were death itself." King answered.
Upon hearing that response Saitama stopped stirring the batter inside the mixing bowl but not out of surprise or some other emotion but simply to think.
"...I guess." He said with a shrug before returning to stir the batter "I mean to be fair we're talking about ME here, the guy who can end any fight in one punch, so even if I were to say something like "I'll slap you" that would be terrifying because of how strong I am." He reasoned.
Just as he had done King went silent as well to think on what was said and in truth he agreed with it, for if anyone else threatened to slap him while being caught off guard he certainly wouldn't be afraid but if SAITAMA was the one saying it he'd be scared for his life.
"At any rate sorry that I had you worried." He apologized "Though to be honest I WAS planning on taking a me day after yesterday." He admitted.
"How come?" King asked.
"Stress mainly." Saitama answered "I mean looking past the fans and reporters things just seem to be WAY more hectic than usual between The House of Evolution coming to see me, the terrorists that were going around blowing things up while having bald heads like mine, and of course the fact I had to go and keep everyone from killing each other things have just been WAY too hectic even for me." He explained.
"That last one's not your fault though." King said as he looked to Tatsumaki "If anything it's Tornado's fault for telling the association about it." He accused causing her to adorn a look of shock.
"HEY!" She exclaimed before pointing towards her sister "Fubuki was planning on doing the EXACT same thing! so don't try to make ME out to be the one at fault here!" She argued.
"That is true." Fubuki agreed "Though to be fair after having seen those monsters we probably would have retreated anyways." She admitted.
"So it was your fault then." King said piling the blame back onto Tatsumaki.
"SHUT UP!" She shouted before standing "You might be Saitama's sidekick but that doesn't mean I won't squash you like a bug if you don't watch it!" She threatened.
However before Saitama or Fubuki could say something in hopes of calming Tatsumaki down ANOTHER knock was heard at the door catching them all by surprise.
"Who could that be?" They all unintentionally asked in unison as Saitama once again set the mixing bowl down onto the counter before going over to the door and looking through the peephole, which upon doing so caused his eyes to widen.
"Oh hey!" He exclaimed somewhat excitedly as he opened the door "It's you!" He added as a smile appeared on his face.
"Hello." Genos greeted with a small bow of his head "I do not mean to bother you but I was hoping that you and I could talk about something, which I know is strange given we have not had a truly proper conversation yet." He explained as to why he was there.
"Yeah of course man come on in!" Sataima welcomed as he stepped aside allowing the other to enter "I've actually wanted to talk with you some more but stuff kept happening so I wasn't able to get around to it." He explained.
"I see." Genos replied before he looked towards the others who stared at him "Oh you have company." He said.
"Yeah but the more the merrier right?" Saitama asked "Hey are you into pancakes?" He asked.
"I have not had them in a long time, so I do not know." Genos answered.
"Then I'll make you a batch too!" Saitama decided as he went back into the kitchen "Just have a seat I'll have them done in no time!" He assured.
Nodding his head to show his understanding Genos proceeded to follow his instruction and took a seat on the left side of the table.
"Fubuki..." Tatsumaki spoke to her sister via telekinesis.
(A/N: For all future conversations which happen via telekinesis they will be both BOLD and ITALIC as to separate them from regular thoughts which are just Italic)
"Yes Tatsumaki?" Fubuki asked looking towards her sister as she did.
"This guy was with you yesterday and now he's here plus Saitama seems to really like him so tell me who he is!" Tatsumaki demanded
"His name is Genos and as you could tell he's a cyborg yet I do not know what his relationship with Saitama is." Fubuki stated.
"Well I don't like him." Tatsumaki decided "In fact I'm going to see what else there is we don't know." She added.
"What're you going t-" Fubuki began to ask only to have their conversation be brought to it's end as Tatsumaki spoke vocally.
"So Genos." Tatsumaki began gaining his attention "Tell us how you know Saitama." She inquired.
"I first met him when the monster known as Mosquito Girl attacked City Z." He replied "Though admittedly I didn't really pay him too much attention until Mosquito Girl did, which was after I had tried to kill her." He added.
"TRIED you say?" She asked seeming to be amused "Did you even hurt her?" She added.
"Before she transformed into a more powerful form I had ripped off both her legs in exchange for one of my arms." He answered.
"So Saitama saved you then?" She asked "Because if what you're saying is true then it sounds like after she transformed she would've wiped the floor with you." She teased.
"I do not know." He answered "We never saw a display of her power because she was too focused on Saitama due to his lack of clothing." He explained which caused both her and Fubuki's eyes to widen.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN LACK OF CLOTHING?!" They questioned in unison.
"Naked." He simply answered.
"IS THIS TRUE?!" They asked now turning to look towards Saitama who as this whole conversation had been going on was already somehow nearly finished making the pancakes.
"Yup." He too simply answered "Genos used this super cool explosion attack to kill all of the mosquitoes and in the process my clothes got burned off." He explained "Which wasn't really a big deal until Mosquito Girl started going all fangirl on me." He admitted.
Unable to properly form any kind of words or thoughts both women only had ONE thing going through their minds it of course being what they imagined he looked like naked which in turn caused their faces to turn beet red.
"Pancakes are done!" He exclaimed as he put the last of the flapjacks onto a stack giving them in total two stacks of pancakes each having at least eight in total "Let's eat!" He said as he walked over to the table and set them down.
"We don't have plates." King noted as he sat down "Or silverware." He added.
"So? we'll just eat'em with our hands." Saitama replied as he too sat down "It's not like they're coated in syrup or anything." He added as he grabbed one whilst looking to Genos "So Genos." He said gaining the other's attention "What is it you wanted to talk to me about?" He asked.
Upon hearing that question whether it was due to his lack of attention on the other or perhaps he was trying to think of what he should say Genos remained silent for a few moments all the while Saitama ate his pancake.
"...I want to study you." He answered causing the other to stop chewing.
"...What?" Saitama asked though it was a bit muffled due to the food in his mouth.
"Forgive me." Genos apologized with a bow of his head "I did not mean for that to come off as strange or weird yet at the same time I could not think of a simple way to summarize what my desire is." He explained.
"Um...okay..." Saitama said as he swallowed the bite in his mouth "Then why not just go ahead with the regular version?" He suggested.
"Okay." Genos agreed with a nod of his head "You see I seek to be strong no matter how long it takes or how much I must overcome I MUST be strong." He began "And from what I have learned about you over the past few days it seems as though everyone believes you to be the strongest person in the world." He continued "However you do not possess any kind of augmentation or gene modification so I wish to observe you so that maybe I might know how someone who was once a normal person can become as strong as you are." He finished.
Now taking his turn to be silent for a few moments as to think Saitama even with his focus on Genos could feel the other's eyes on him awaiting his response.
"...Tell you what." He spoke as he pointed to the other "If you promise not to act weird like most people do and just be casual about it I'll not only let you observe me but I'll also make you my disciple." He offered causing the other's eyes to widen.
"You mean that?" Genos asked receiving a nod in return.
"Yup." Saitama answered before looking to King "I mean I'm already helping King to become stronger so what's one more person?" He asked "Especially when that person treats me like a normal guy." He added as he looked back to Genos.
Completely amazed at what had just transpired Genos could not keep a small smile from appearing on his face as he bowed his head once more.
"Thank you." He said causing Saitama to also smile.
"It's no big." Saitama assured "Now let's eat these pancakes before they get cold." He said.
And so with that having been dealt with this unusual group began to feast upon the freshly made pancakes which were quite delicious.
