When it was time for Enji to start and complete rehab, he hit it hard from the get go, but with experience with extreme training he managed...quickly at that. He had to start somewhere simple like warming up his skin to create sparks to making the ends or his facial hair burn and spread and also tasks like controlling bis body temperature for long periods of time before taking a short break.

As Rina watched him train, she could tell that he was itching to be back on the field and beat up ghosts.

He's also gotten quite thin, thinner than he used to be but with his loss in muscle mass he made up for in...other areas.

Other than that Touya and Taura's 5th birthday was coming up and Rina was getting nervous because this is a detrimental moment in time for Touya, unfortunately she doesn't know anything about Taura so all she can do is prepare herself accordingly.

Which is why she came to the hospital right after work.

"You know you didn't have to come right now, you could-"

"No, I have no time. I need this to work. I need to make sure it works, no matter what." She said.

"Rina...is there something you're not telling us?" Yuuto asked, wondering why Rina was so desperate. He's a doctor and he's met many patients who have tried to hide their condition, and that look they gave him is the same look Rina had on her face.

"No, there's nothing I've kept hidden from anybody...I just care for the well-being of my children, that's all." She shrugged.

Not a complete lie. He thought. "Look I don't know what's bothering you or why you seem to be in such a hurry. But just know you're not alone in this." He said.

"...Thank you." She said with absolute gratitude.

"The Beta or child friendly version of the medicine is complete, we just need to do more testing to make sure it's safe for your child, but even if we do the side effects while taking it won't be a breeze." He said.

"Alright, just let me know of the progress." She said.

"Roger...by the way I wanted to ask." He said.

"What?" She asked.

"Well I wanted to ask if we could mass produce the medicine you developed. I believe that it could really help with people who suffered from burns and scars from fires as well as injuries people or heroes have sustained from battle." He said.

"Hmm...that does sound pretty useful and the number of on site casualties may decrease with it in the hands of medical professionals as well as drug sellers...but..." She muttered.

"But?" He asked.

"I'm not exactly sure I'm comfortable with everyone, everyone being able to access it. If you get what I mean?" She said.

"Oh..." He deflated.

Villians. Don't get the wrong idea, Rina would love to share this cold gift. Call her paranoid but she would just hate it if her power got into the wrong hands or his hands for that matter and use it for something terrible.

"Hey, cheer up, I'm not saying no. Just give me time to think about it." She said.

"Alright, thank you for the consideration." He said and she nodded before heading home.

****

"I'm home!" She called and like a summoning ritual she heard the stomping of small feet.

"Mom!" Three boisterous kids tackled her and she barely managed to keep her balance.
