"I'm back Master."
[Name] whipped her head from the coffee table where she had previously face planted due to boredom.
Is that…?
Saitama put down his comic and looked towards the entrance of the apartment and greeted the stranger with a small smile.
"Welcome back Genos. What took you so long?"
That had to be him! Who else would visit Saitama? [Name] couldn't imagine him having visitors, especially with the destroyed surrounding.
Her fingers drummed on the table and she craned her neck to peer around the wall that blocked her view from her mission.
[Name] knew she admired him because of his strength. But it went deeper than that. She had always been weak, physically and mentally. When she was younger her nickname was ant because of the way the older kids would kick her to the ground. She always tried to be strong, her reason for joining the police force. Her father was an accomplished soldier, her mother a lawyer that sought justice through the courtroom.
[Name]'s teeth clenched. He was her chance at being strong, she didn't want to be the ant. She didn't want the shame at family gatherings as her parents looked down at her in disdain. She didn't want the fear that turned her blood ice cold when she saw the Sea King. She didn't want to shake in horror, she wanted to make others shake in horror.
She wanted the whispers in awe when she walked in the streets. She wanted the fans, she wanted the strength. When [Name] watched the video of him fighting the Sea King, she knew he was the light in her dark world.
But here she was with her drumming hands and clenched teeth. A nervous wreck.
Pathetic.
Caught up in her thoughts, she didn't see the blonde cyborg enter the small room.
In an instant, her back was to the ground and a glowing mechanical hand in her face.
[Name]'s eyes trailed up the arm slowly and was met with pitch black sclera.
Gulp.
~~~ "I really do have the worst luck" [Name] moaned. Her (E/C) eyes trailed over to Saitama who had resumed his comic reading and ignored her dilemma. Jerk.
"I apologize. I failed to notice you were an acquaintance of Master." [Name] turned her head back towards the cyborg. He looked quite different without his skin melted off and missing parts. She understood why he had a fan club. Genos turned to Saitama, "I encountered some monsters on the way back from the supermar-"
Remembering her mission, [Name] jumped up abruptly and pointed at Genos.
"Please, teach me how to become strong!"
This is it! My dreams are about to-
"I decline."
-be crushed.
