Nars: I just had summer school orientation and it lasted a few minutes and I still cried several times (someone save me).

Genos... actually looked like he was dead, at first glance. His eyes were clamped together and the only indication of life flowing in and out of his body was the twitch his eyebrow gave off every so often. Kagome approached him in a hurry, falling to her knees and calling his name to get his attention. "Genos, you're not... dead, right?"

He opened his eyes then, a very half-hearted glare apparent on his face. "I'm fine."

Her eyes briefly looked over his body. There was a tube stemming from his chest shoved into his arm. The usual bright amber glow his limbs once emitted was flickering in and out of a very dim existence. If that was the source of his power, was he... dying? She pushed her sleeves up and struggled to pull him into a sitting position. "You can barely move at all, huh?"

"I exhausted all of my energy attempting to destroy the meteor." He sighed. It seemed to her that he could barely even lift his head, even that took too much out of him.

She patted his shoulder consolingly. "Thanks for trying, though."

"But I didn't destroy the threat." said Genos, "That was Saitama-sensei."

Kagome suppressed her laughter. He only ever seemed to perk up at the mention of the baldy. She wondered where he even was at the moment. "I thought I saw him punch that meteor. I guess he really is impressive."

"Yes, he is! Sensei's power is unparalleled!" Genos nodded brightly. The movement seemed to inconvenience him further as his brows knitted and he fell quiet. "If only he had been called in by the Association first. Then, this would not have happened."

She smiled, "You tried your best though... So, thanks."

He let out a puff of air in his attempt at what she felt might have been laughter. "You're welcome."

Kagome shifted and let Genos lie his head on her lap as he gathered his bearings. Being a superhero was hard work, from the looks of it and yet he was so dedicated. The citizens of Z-city were lucky to have a guy like him. She gazed around at the wreckage of said city before her and winced. This would take months to repair. She wondered if the shrine had survived the meteor pieces falling...

"Oh my god." She said suddenly, realizing that there was someone here, literal metres away from them. "I'm so sorry, have you been here this whole time?"

The figure stepped closer, and she quickly realized that this was a rather familiar face. "Oh, hey, you're Grandpa's friend!"

Genos groaned from her lap, "Kagome... You know Bang?"

Oh yeah, that was his name! He used to come by the shrine sometimes, less so over these past few months, and either have tea with her grandpa or pray. For an old guy, she'd often realized he was pretty swift and always on his feet. "Er, yeah, a bit." She said sheepishly. "What're you doing all the way out here?"

"...Bang is a hero in the association too." muttered Genos.

It was unsurprising that she didn't know that. Souta probably did... and never thought to tell her? She smiled awkwardly, "You don't say? Sorry about that."

Bang, however, did not seem to mind at all, as he chuckled and bent to prod Genos' prone arm. "Never mind that. You should get Genos some medical attention."

"He's a cyborg though, is it really medical or is it more technical?"

"Kagome." sighed the blond. "The doctor who tends to my repairs lives near Lake Ashii."

That wasn't too far from here. The mystery was soon to be uncovered as to where the hell Genos got fixed up whenever trouble struck. "Uh, alright, let's get going." She stood up, and with the assistance of Bang, managed to help Genos stand and god he was heavy. "Let's get going, Genos."

"Ah." He said, voice dropping to a whisper. "Thank you, for this."

As they set off along the ruined asphalt, Kagome caught a streak of yellow zip by and inhaled sharply as she prepared to get the person's attention. "Saitama!" She yelled, hoping he at least heard her. "Thank you!"

It was a pretty decent day after all.

Nars: Next chapter, Dr. Kuseno! So, yeah, that's our little Bang cameo, and surprise, they know each other. If Bang knows Kagome, does that mean Garou does too?

Review, please :^)
