Third Side of the Esper Hero Triangle

Remembrance

"Are we gonna do anything about that?" Jacob asked.

"You want to kill all of those mosquitoes?" I asked. "What did they do to you?" The explosions of air to their left still occurring in the background.

"What if it's a monster?" Jacob questioned.

"I'm not gonna assume that until I see a monster." I answered.

"Whatever." Jacob grumbled as he crossed his arms. I then saw Saitama jump of his balcony to the street with a can of bug spray. He was screaming like a maniac through the streets. "Should we help him?"

"Physically... no." I answered. "Mentally... probably." Jacob giggled at my joke. I looked into his bright eyes. I'm not sure I could care about anything more than I care about him.

A massive explosion sounded from the swarm of mosquitoes in the distance. A huge fireball exploded around them.

"Okay... it might be a monster." I said. "Let's go." Jacob nodded as I vaulted over the railing. He decided to just float down to the ground.

"Won't it be much easier if you just use your powers, Dad?" He asked.

"You know I can't risk anyone seeing my powers in public." I told him. "You're lucky."

"It's not my fault you were an idiot when you came to City Z." Jacob laughed. I pouted and smacked him on the head.

"I don't appreciate that, kid." I said as I began to run after the explosion. Jacob just floated next to me, easily keeping up with me.

"Oh, no." He said, sarcastically. "You're 'kid'ing me now?" Even though he was so unbelievably young, he acted like an annoying teenager. Saitama then zoomed past us. A strong scent of bug spray filled our noses. Both me and Jacob began to heavily cough. The fumes weren't exactly pleasant.

"Jesus, Saitama!" I coughed.

"Come on, Lazy!" Jacob yelled as he flew towards the explosions. I quickly toughened out the fumes and continued running.

We were extremely close to the explosion. We were both in an alleyway and looking into the street. I saw this blond guy shooting fire out of his hands and fighting a weird bug woman.

"What the hell is that?" Jacob asked.

"Language." I sighed. "You're still a kid."

"Whatever." He replied. We then heard Saitama screaming to our left. We saw him running towards the battle, separating bug spray into the air.

"GET BACK HERE!" He screamed. "YOU'RE GOING NOWHERE!" He then stopped a few feet from the blond guy. The guy had looked back at Saitama with a stoic face. Saitama then spit out some of the bug spray that go into his mouth. He then saw the swarm of mosquitos forming around the bug lady. Jacob then raised his hand and grabbed the bug spray bottle and pulled it towards him.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Stopping him from poisoning himself." He replied.

"Huh?" Saitama said as he saw us. "Oh, it's you two."

"Yeah, it's us two." I said he'd as we slowly walked towards the two.

"You three should get out of here." The blond guy said. "It's not safe. That is an enormous swarm of mosquitos." He pointed up at the twister of bugs.

"Really?" Saitama gasped. He looked actually terrified. I then heard a squeal of a laugh come from the swarm. The swarm then slammed onto the ground. The bugs exploded all over the ground, nearly blinding me. Jacob then put a shield around us, blocking the bugs and killing the ones that were inside the shield.
