There's this saying that people can do miraculous things during dire situations. That a person's determination and will to do something can go a long way, but what were the chances of something like that happening right now?

Eyes closed and hands firmly grasping both the teenage cyborg and elderly martial artist, you tried to summon what remaining courage you had. Courage to believe that you will get out of this alive somehow, that perhaps Bang, Saitama, or anything and or anyone could turn this dire situation around.

As the meteor got closer and closer, you swear that you could hear the crackling of the fire surrounding it with how close it was.

Just as you were sure that it was about to hit, you felt warmth emanating from within you. It wasn't the kind of warmth you would feel when standing near the fire either, but rather...the kind of warmth you'd feel inside of you whenever you shared tender moments with those you loved.

But of course, that was the last thing you were thinking about, too preoccupied with the fact that all your lives might be forfeited right here and right now.

"The meteor...it's...gone..." Muttered Bang, staring at where it had just been with wide disbelieving eyes.

W-What?

Finally opening your eyes again, you were met not with heaven's gates or a face full of burning rock, but rather a clear view of the still flaming Z City.

"We're...safe? But...how?" Your voice came out as a breathless whisper, barely able to wrap your mind around the fact that someway and somehow, you'd been saved.

It was and should be impossible for the meteor to have disintegrated all of a sudden when it was already so close and there was no other hero near the vicinity to have destroyed it somehow.

"I think we shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, young lady. It's best we search for answers another day. Besides, it looks like a certain someone is quite worried" Bang inclined his head towards the yellow-clad male who'd been patiently waiting for them to land.

Saitama's relieved smile washed away your own worries and questions...for now at least.

As the S Class hero watched the happy couple's reunion, his eyes narrowed and his eyebrows furrowed as he fixated his gaze on the (Hair Color)-haired young woman. A million questions running through his mind, the scene of the meteor about to collide with them being replayed over and over again.

He was prepared to use one of his many techniques to move the mass of burning rock away from them and towards another direction before something unexplainable happened.

There was a sudden flash of blinding pink light, warmth, and then nothing.

Neither him nor Genos was capable of such power so that left only the bald hero's wife, you and yet, with how you yourself was confused about what had just transpired told Bang that you were just as unaware of whatever power it is that you possessed as him.

Hmmmm......perhaps he should invite you, Genos, and the bald one over to his dojo one of these days.

The three of you proved to be quite the interesting bunch.
