City M No POV

It has already been sometime after the whole Alien Invasion stuff and lots of changes. Wade was with Saitama and Genos grocery shopping as he had Diana in one of those baby leashes to make sure she doesn't wander off as she has been running around more in her tiny little legs and since she's part Tiger, she's sneaky.

Genos: Master... where should we go next?

Saitama: uh, let's see. We got the hot-pot ingredients, so I guess that leaves the toilet paper and sham...poo.

Saitama looks into the display glass of a collectible store with various figurines. Some included, Tatsumaki, Amai Mask, Metal Bat, Bang, Atomic Samurai, Zombieman, and King, although he's is exaggerated.

Saitama: wow. I guess popularity gets you places. How own action figure. Must be awesome. Wade, do you have one?

Wade: no.

Genos:<takes his phone out> I will contact the toy companies.

Saitama: nah. This is a "don't call us, we'll call you" situation. Let's roll.

Genos:<follows him> but, Master, where to, exactly?

Wade was going to follow but Diana had her face plastered on the window looking specifically at... Tatsumaki's figurine.

Wade: ah geez, do you want that one, Diana?

Diana: yes.

Wade: the small one or the more... detailed one?

Diana: both!

Wade:<sighs> you're too cute not to spoil but you can only choose one.

Diana: Both!

Wade: no. If you keep arguing with me, there will be no tuna for a week.

Diana: fine!

Wade: I know you're smart and you can speak more words, I thought Whis was teaching you how to speak more sentences.

Flashback

Whis: ok Diana, say apple.

Diana: apple.

Whis: good job, that will be enough for today. Oh you're so cute!

Flashback over

Wade: oh second thought, maybe I should spend more time teaching you more sentences.

Diana: I want that toy.

Wade: what's the magic word?

Diana: fish!

Wade: it's please.

Diana: please!

Wade: close enough.

Wade enters with Diana to the store. While they went inside, a woman screamed as there was a group of citizens around a mutant green frog like man that could give Toad from the X-Men a run for his money.

Man; what the hell is that?!

Tongue-stretcher: my obsession with reptiles ended up turning me into one. Feast your eyes upon the great Tongue-Stretcher!

Man: it's a monster! Run!

Tongue-Stretcher: all you pretty young things are mine now. You're gonna bear my brood!

Tongue-Stretcher's tongue went towards the woman but a baseball cap with a K on it was sent flying and revealing the man wearing it: King, Class S Rank 7.

Tongue-Stretcher: where the hell did you come from?! Whoa. What's that aura? <gasps> and that face! H-he's no ordinary man.

King:<thought> not again. I'm so tired of being a hero.
