The metal of the handcuffs uncomfortably pinched saitama's wrist, of course he could break them. But he allowed the flimsy contraption to keep him bounded to the person he shared the handcuff with. There to his right yanking and pulling at his prison was the man who had controlled saitama. Trapped by one arm the same way genos was in the beginning of this stressful day. The man with a cry of fear and desperation attempted one more escape. Only to fall on his butt whenever the still saitama yanked him back. Looking at the man it was easy to tell he did most of his work behind a screen, sunken eyes, pale skin, a mop of hair that seemed to hold no true color. It was difficult to tell if he was 14 or 41.

"we found this guy whenever he was the only one who had not evacuated the city. He was in some weird shack, the place had wires and machines all over the place. It didn't help his case when we found souvenirs from previous victims. Yknow."

The cop paused to catch her breath. Scratching her head where the tight hat pinched her scalp.

"stuff like clothes or wallets… we did a search and it turned out a lot of his stuff was turned to shit somehow. But it definitely held relevance to the events that has been happening."

Saitama nodded in understanding. Everyone sweatdropped at his easy going nature of the events.

"so.. i-I guess you'll be taking me to jail now right?!" the man still stuck to saitama shakes in fear of the man he had previously been able to control. He knew just as much as genos of what the bald man was capable of. The cop nodded, a little surprised that the villain wasn't attempting some form of resistance.

"if you don't mind you can cuff him to me ma'am."

Genos volunteered excitedly. Quickly bolting to stand behind the villain. A sadistic sharklike grin adorning his features. Already planning what to do as soon as he got the bastard away from his sensei.

"p-please take me to jail now." The cop sighed bewildered by the idiots she was surrounded by. A cowardly sociopath. A handsome cyborg with some weird vendetta. And an egg man picking his nose. "tell me about it." arriving at her left, stood beautiful tatsumaki crossing her arms in a smug exterior. The female cop quickly bowed in respect of tatsumaki.

"oi! What are little kids doing here?" saitama said, rubbing his wrist to where the handcuffs had been removed. An all but too grateful prisoner was being escorted to federal prison. Genos who would've usually have been grateful that the justice system was taking action, was still standing close to saitama. As if he were afraid to leave his side.

"you should be thanking her sir. She's the reason we aren't putting your ass to jail as well." The cop said proudly. Defending her green haired idol. "this girl...I like her." tatsumaki said happily. Genoa who would have been usually defending his master was silent for once. Too tired of today and grateful towards tatsumaki. Genos resisted the temptation of clinging to saitama for comfort. He had already embarrassed himself enough today.

"damn women" saitama huffed. Scratching the back of his head. He turned around ready to go home after along day. Only to bump straight into genos. The cyborg was oddly closer than usual. Saitama felt a little silly that he didn't notice the best proximity of his disciple earlier. "ah.. sorry man." saitam tiredly smiled, not minding that he had to look slightly up to make eye contact. "d-do not worth sensei. It was my fault." The flustered teen quickly darted out of the way, bowing as he plead for forgiveness. As well as to his crimson blush. " i'm sorry for making you uncomfortable."

The bald man rolled his eyes and continued walking to where he hoped would be the way home. "nah don't worry." Genos gratefully sighed mentally kicking himself for his behavior. The blonde teen made embarrassed eye contact with the two amused women only to stand up. And follow his sensei. Saitam laughed.

" I mean it's not like I'm interested in dudes"

Genos stopped suddenly. And took a slow breath. glad saitama couldn't see him. Regaining himself genos avoiding looking at the bloodstained suit of his master. Those words slapped him with a dose of reality.

"hai… sensei." Genos didn't dare allow himself to say his master's name again. The two men began walking back to their shared home.

"are they idiots?" the cop looked at tatsumaki a little sympathetic for the blonde cyborg.

"you don't even know the half of it."

Tatsumaki crossed her arms and sighed. Looking around at the area she saw meteor like holes and a single pole caked in blood. The cracked ground had imprinted tire marks of the loitering police cars. Her mouth twitched in slight humor but her eyes were turned cold when she saw a small pool of oil scattered in drops around one of the crime scenes. The one where they had found a lifeless saitama.

"they really are idiots."

Tatsumaki looked ahead of her. barely able to see the two disappearing figures walking. An excited yell hit her ears sending the police to panickedly drop their mugs and papers. "WHOOO!LET'S GET SOME UDON!." An equally as loud genos happily retorted "I KNOW WHERE THERE IS A DEAL SENSEI!"

Her breath showed as she exhaled in the cold air.

"but they're each other's idiots."
