Killua found himself in the observation room because he was bored. He watched as Bakugou got beat into the ground by Allmight and Midoria was running away. Hah. Beat is ass. Suddenly Midoria paused for a moment, then went back. But why? He came back, and punched Allmight in the face. Killua tried not to think of Gon as he grabbed Bakugou and hauled him out. That's something Gon would do, help if he could even when nobody asked him to. He turned away and walked out of the door, taking a deep breath. He made his way outside, when Mina came up behind him. "hey Kami, you up for hanging out?" oh right, I did say later. He really didn't want to, but he knew that's what Kaminari would do. "sure, why not" he said, and he led her over to his apartment. She blinked at the small space. "did your parents kick you out or something?" he laughed a little, "or something"

Mina sat down on his bed and looked around at all his pictures. There were pretty much 10 different pictures of Gon stuck to the wall on the right side of the room next to his bed. "what's his name?" Killua smiled and added his new picture to the wall. "his name's Gon" she looked over his shoulder as he started to draw again. "I never noticed how much you draw" he sighed, "it's one of those things I usually keep to myself, nobody expects an idiot like me to be good with any sort of art" he smiled a little. "I honestly don't really like the attention that comes with it" Mina thought for a moment. "why do I never see him? Like he didn't come over or anything and you never talk about him" Killua frowned slightly. "I met him when I was 12" he bit his lip a little. "he had to leave about two years ago, haven't seen him since" Mina glanced around the room again and put an arm around his shoulder again. "I'm sorry, maybe you'd like to talk about him a bit more with me? I don't mind"

He chuckled a little, "when we were younger, I was always the smart one" Mina giggled. "I think I lost some brain cells when I got older" he joked, causing Mina to laugh some more. "anyways, he was always so happy about everything" Killua snorted, "one time he broke his arm doing something dumb" he was quiet for a few seconds. "I never told him how I really felt" he choked a little, damn it! Why do I feel so depressed today! He turned away and tried to hide his tears. His eyes started to hurt when he started to cry, forced to take out his contacts. "h-hey, I'm sorry for asking" he felt Mina give him a hug and he shook his head, "no, it's better to talk about it" he wiped his eyes a little. "today's just not a very good day" Mina paused for a moment, "wait, are those contacts?"

He looked away, covering his eyes. "I don't like my eyes" he mumbled, that was obviously a lie but Mina wouldn't know that. In reality he just wanted to keep up his disguise so that when he finally met Gon again they could leave and start a new life without people who might recognize him. "I won't look if you don't want me to" she waited for his eyes to dry and for him to put his contacts back on before looking in his direction. "I won't push you to talk any more if you don't want to" Killua smiled genuinely. "you're so considerate, it almost seems fake " Mina gave him a big smile, "I try my best!" he put up another Denki smile, in all honesty that did help him a little. "wait a minute" she thought for a moment. "have you noticed how Gon really looks like Midoria? His hair is just spikey and he's got different eyes"

He nodded. "honestly that's one of the reason I hang out with Bakugou, his personality to really similar too" she seemed to be deep in thought for a few more moments. "what if Midoria actually is Gon?" he blinked. "but-" he cut himself off, thinking. I changed myself, maybe he did too? And come to think of it, Midoria's quirk also made him really strong. The lighting that kind of looks like Godspeed, their similar personalities, his green hair, how he always helps people even when he's not told to. Killua snapped out of thoughts and his eyes started to gleam, "oh my god! Their so similar I didn't even realize!" he altered the picture he had been drawing slightly, crossing his legs and not giving two shits about acting like Denki.

"he still wears green, strong sense of justice, that unreasonably happy expression" he got so excited he accidently snapped his pencil in half and blinked at the small cut on his hand from the splintered wood. "oh" Mina passed him a bandage from who knows where and he wrapped it around the hand, tapping his finger on the side of the page. I wonder if he realized who I am. When should I tell him? Summer camp is in two days, maybe I'll be able to tell him tomorrow when there's no school? Suddenly there was a hand on his shoulder, "are you alright?" he snapped out of his thoughts and glanced over at Mina. "huh? Oh sorry" he rubbed his head a little, "I was just lost in thought" Mina poked at his hand and he sighed. "I mean, it only hurts a little" he chuckled a bit, throwing the pencil in the trash. "I was too excited and broke it by accident, hehe"

Suddenly he remembered something. "oh!" he sat up and grabbed his Casino Outfit out of a drawer. "I have somewhere to be, sorry Mina" she got up and gave him another smile. "I'll see you in two days ok?" he nodded distractedly, "bye" he quickly washed his hair and combed it a little, making it as fluffy as before but a little less curly. I hope nobody touched my dartboard. He loved that damn thing, it was his favorite one and people rarely touched it because it was his. There were a few other dartboards in the casino but the one he liked was near the entrance and it was next to Sapphire's table. As he walked in he saw something that made his bloodlust spike. There was a guy with short brown hair at his dartboard, and he was forcefully holding Sapphire against the wall.

His eyes narrowed and he made his way over, smirking. He would ruin this guy's life for daring to touch one of his friends. Sapphire looked over the guy's shoulder and her eyes sparkled a little, he strolled over and put a hand on his shoulder. "care to make a bet?" he looked over his shoulder and sneered at him, "what's a kid like you gonna do?" he smirked, then grabbed one of his arms and wrenched it behind him. He let out a shocked gasp and he did it with the other one, Killua stood in front of Sapphire with his arms crossed. "let's make a bet" he said, picking up 6 darts. "if you win, you can keep her, but if I win" he grinned, "you have to hand over every cent in your pocket"

Sapphire sighed and the newbie chuckled, "deal" he took out his entire wallet and smacked the cash down on the table. That's at least 2 grand, this guy gambles often. A few of the regulars stopped to watch, murmuring about the poor guy's failure. He gave him the darts and put his hands behind his head, letting him go first. He threw his darts and Killua smirked, "128" the guy said proudly, winking at Sapphire. She made a disgusted face and looked away. After you leave this casino I'm taking all your valuables too. He chuckled, "you wanna know what I go by here?" the guy rolled his eyes. "who cares?" he grinned ferally. "they call me Deadshot, because I" he threw a dart at the bullseye getting a wide eyed look from the man "never" he threw another and he started to sweat. "miss" he landed the last one and his jaw dropped, looking at his perfect score. "150 bitch" He sputtered for a moment, looking from him to the board. Killua grabbed his cash and put a hand on his shoulder, "how about we go talk outside?"
