   " So, Dio was alive and he killed JoJo in that boat? "

   " Yes. "

   " I..."

   " Y/n, I know this is a lot to take in since you got back but why don't you stay here with us tonight? "

I only nodded as I felt my tears leave my eyes. Erina hugged me and I hugged her back. My heart felt like it was dying and I could feel ever pained beat. I sobbed and cried into her shoulder and when I pulled away I could tell Erina was sorry.

   " Oh, would you stop crying already? "

   " Joseph don't speak to her in that manner, she is a family friend. "

   " So? My grandfather died a long time ago it's not like your tears are going to do anything. "

   " Joseph Joestar! "

I stood up and grabbed his shirt and slammed him against the wall. He looked worried but I could see he tried to hide it behind his calm demeanor.

   " You have your grandfather's looks but your personality is lacking. "

   " What did you say to me? "

   " I loved our grandfather. He saved me when we were kids and then we grew up together with the enemy. We were best friends and then I left them because he pressed my birthmark on accident. I lost 7 years with him and then when I came back we fought together to defeat our enemy we lost friends and family along the way but we were there for each other. I left him again before I could live my life to it's fullest. I had everything taken away from me and then Jonathan was taken from me. And I didn't even get to say goodbye to him when he died. I didn't even get to see his son or daughter. "

I pushed him harder into the wall.

   " So don't you dare tell me to not cry over someone I lived with for years and lost in seconds. "

   " I-I just didn't want to see a pretty girl like you cry. Tears don't suit your face. "

I let him go and walked back towards Erina. She told me about how Speedwagon was still alive and well., he apparently had founded his own organization. I knew he could. Erina suggested we go out to eat and I agreed. We got outside and waited for the to hail a cab. On the elevator down they explained to me about what technology was and told me about cars and boats and planes. I stood with Erina and Smokey as we waited for a cab. Joseph said I could call him JoJo so I do. He stood in front of the cab and the cab stopped before it hit him.

   " Hey, you! Why don't ya get a clue? What're you doin', dumbass? Pull your head out of your butt and see where you are! Now get the hell out of my way! "

I watched as JoJo grabbed the cab driver through the window and held his shirt in a fist.

   " Hello there. What? Didn't hear that. I couldn't make it out. Would you mind repeating all that? I'd like to know what it was you meant to say...in case I have to pound you. "

   " JoJo. What is it you're doing there? " Erina asked.

   " Granny Erina! "

   " I asked you what you're doing with that man. "

   " You see this man is a taxi! This way, you won't have to walk so far. "

   " Thank you JoJo. You're such a thoughtful boy. "

They climbed in and I noticed there wasn't enough room for me.

   " Maybe I should just stay behind. there doesn't seem to be room for me. "

   " Just sit on my lap until we get there. You'll be living the woman's dream of getting to sit on my lap. " He said winking at me.

I rolled my eyes and sat on his legs as the cab start driving off. I started talking with JoJo about random things.

   " Say, granny, I'm curious. Was Speedwagon really grandpa's best friend? Is that all it was? Come on now. "

   " What are you implying? "

   " Well, let's see. He was never married, was he? And you yourself are a widow. Well, it leads me to wonder if simple friendship was the only relationship that was going on there. "

   " You rogue, you! "

I started laughing at JoJo's comment and at Erina hitting JoJo with her umbrella. She avoided hitting me with her umbrella but she made sure to hit JoJo.

   " Sorry! I was wrong! Forgive me! "

I kept laughing as she continued to hit him. Then finally when the taxi stopped we were walking in the darkness into a fancy restaurant. We got to our table and Erina sat down. JoJo held a seat open for me and I was about to sit down when someone started yelling at us.

   " Who decided that, that stinkin' animal could be allowed in here? "

I knew they were talking about Smokey, I had already seen enough discrimination to people like Smokey who had dark skin.

   " His smell is ruining my appetite. His kind shouldn't be allowed in a place like this. "

   " I understand, sir, but there is a policy handed down by management. As long as the check is paid in full we happily serve anyone.  "

The man continued to insult Smokey while he ate his pasta noodles.

   " Guess I'll just be on my way. "

I saw JoJo grab his shoulder and he looked angry. I remember seeing the same fire in his grandfather's eyes.

   " JoJo. "

   " You heard him. Come on. You're not going to tell me to stop, are you? "

   " No. People are entitled to their opinions. But this misbegotten oaf has publicly insulted our friend. Be mindful of the other guests but teach him a lesson. "

   " I was hoping you would say that. "

   " If you don't mind JoJo I'll be joining you in this. "

   " Fine with me but don't get in front of me when I punch him. "

   " Trust me I just want to see if I still got it. "

   " Well, now boy looking to fight? "

I turned to Smokey and told him to sit down and already ordered for myself when JoJo started talking to the man.

   " Next you'll say " You bastard, how could you have possibly known where they were? ""

   " You bastard, how could you know where they were? "

The man looked surprised at JoJo's words. I continued to watch the two talk as I admired JoJo from afar. He had his grandfather's looks but he was different from him in so many ways. His knowledge on reading a person was extraordinary. He learned how to read people as easily as Speedwagon used to. I watched as the man slipped on his brass knuckles and got ready to punch JoJo. JoJo used a coat hanger to defend himself.

   " Please, forgive the behavior of my underling, madam. "

We turned to another man who stood up at a table. I could tell this was a mafia man as Smokey had put it in the taxi.

   " You're Erina Joestar, aren't you? I've worked on a lot of business deals with your Mr. Speedwagon, you see. "

I heard grumbling from behind us and saw the same man JoJo had defeated standing up and throwing a punch at JoJo from behind. I stood in front of JoJo's back and got in a stance to defend JoJo.

   " And what are you gonna do little girl? Slap me? "

   " You know I really wish people would stop underestimating me. "

His brass knuckles were heading right towards my face but I jumped and raised my leg and kicked his hand away with such a force that his whole arm swung that way. I landed on my foot that I kicked his hand away with and used my other to hit his face. He seemed angered by my kicks and started reaching for me. I spun around his fist and decided to use my Hamon.

   ' Hamon zoom punch! '

My arm dislocated and punched him in his stomach. He stumbled backward away form us. My arm was relocated back to the same joint and I tripped the man as we stumbled backward making him fall to the floor on his back. He looked like he was in pain. I stepped over to him and held his tie. I pulled it up to my face.

   " But I love it so much because when I beat them to the ground they realize I have more power than what they originally thought. "

I pulled on his tie tighter.

   " So, don't mess with me or these fine people over here or I will beat you to the ground again. Got it? "

He nodded his head in a quick manner. I let him go and stood up straight. The man paid his bill and ran out of the restaurant while I turned back to the others.

   " Wait you have the same abilities that I have? " JoJo asked.

   " I do. But I'm better than you are. "

   " Hey! "

   " That's definitely, Y/n. You always stood up for what was right. "

   " You know it. So let's continue talking, please. "

The man nodded and started talking.
