          "We need to get down now. Where there's Death, there's probably Midnight." You breathe, looking at the door.

           "___ even if we get the door open neither of us can fly." He points out.

           "But-"

           "You don't trust them to handle this?" He raises an eyebrow and you stop. "It was said this morning that Midnight won't kill any of them right?" He reminds you. You glance between the fight below before turning to him with a nod.

             "Right. And the memories come back. Everything will be fine…" You manage optimistically. But you were gripping your knees uneasily and the ferris wheel stops, leaving you two at the top. Daishou shifts before his tail comes out, sliding through the gap in the window to the outside handle. 

            "But who said that's a hero thing to do?" He breathes when you blink at him before the door opens. You both stand up, looking out.

            "Don't worry. I know we won't go splat." You smile. He blinks at you before taking your hand.

            "I believe you then." He smiles in return before you both back up before leaping out with a yell. You spot Bokuto as he spots you both, suddenly bursting at you and catching you both.

            "Hey! Hey! Hey! There's my baby!" He grins, moving to give you a kiss on the cheek but Daishou swiftly moves his hand in the way.

            "Focus. What's going on?" Daishou inquires.

           "Kuroo and Oikawa spotted Death and got attacked. The others are clearing the area and Akaashi is in position to tranquilize him but the bastard disappeared in the water." Bokuto informs. 

          "And Midnight?" You ask warily. 

          "No one has spotted him yet." He breathes as he sets you both down on the ground. 

          "Alright, let's go ___.” Daishou breathes. 

          "Right." You nod before rushing toward the fight. Daggers and chains lash out of the black water that sat in a large bubble on the ground. Daishou's tail knocks a dagger away from you and you pause, exchanging a glance with him before taking off your right glove and rushing the water.

          'I can do this! Protect them!' You think, right hand plunging forward. There's a ripple in the water and a chill runs down your spine, making you leap back as the water opens up and Midnight launches at you. "Shit." You breathe twisting out of the way and throwing a kick into his side. He grabs your leg and spins about, throwing you into Daishou as he made a move to attack.

          "YoU ShOUld'VE StaYEd iN ThE FeRrIS WheEL ___.” He states before adjusting his vocals.

           "That's not what a hero does though, Midnight." You breathe getting up and giving him a smile. He pauses before chuckling.

           "Right. A hero… A villain couldn't understand why you feel the need to protect a bunch of strangers who wouldn't give you the time of day otherwise." He shakes his head. "Calling you a monster and when you reach out for help you're smacked away as if you have the plague." You pause, remembering a few instances where you experienced that. "You already know how they are. You can't hide from your own kind ___." 

            For a moment Tendo crosses your mind and you feel a knot in your stomach. "No. But they want to hide from me." You grit your teeth, right arm starting to buzz. "And that's fine because I will still be here!" You growl, lunging at him. You swing your right hand at him but he catches it, a burst of purple leaving his suit, revealing the titanium under the paint. You freeze, heart dropping.
