~15~

Apparently I'm not dead 🤯 I'm keeping my promise- I'll finish this book and leave nobody disappointed!
(Since I'm tired of searching for new Diego manga panels, here's some fan art I did of Pucci and Dio) Enjoy the story!

"THAT'S A BOMB DIEGO!!" Y/n suddenly screamed and pulled me up. The kid immediately placed the bomb on the inside of the door and closed it as fast as it could.

All the people tried leaving through the door. "IDIOTS!" Y/n and me fell on the ground because all the people rushing and she lost contact with me. I stopped the time as I felt she was out of touch.

I got up and snatched her. What I supposed was the timer on the bomb was now 0. Non of the people reached the handle of the door. I broke the window and was about to jump out when the time resumed and everything behind me exploded. Just on time to jump out and activate Scary Monsters.

"Diego! Are you hurt?" Y/N had intense fear written all over her face. I left her to stand up on her own. "No. Calm down, we've been through this." I felt a bit of pain on my back, but it was bearable. "It's not the same! That was a terrorist attack! They won't stop until they end us! It's not 19th century anymore!" She was worried. "We'll be-" "HANDS UP!" Suddenly more than 20 men were around us, pointing guns at us. Y/n immediately obeyed. I didn't get it. "Y/n, teleport us! Are you being for real!?" I got upset of her acting inadequate. "HANDS UP OR WE SHOOT YOU DOWN!" The ordered us again. "Do it Diego, we'll die." She whispered. I did as she said. "Just a quick movement and we've escaped!" I said to her. "They'll shoot us! I don't have the needed range for my other ability!" Y/N sounded serious. I couldn't stop the time yet either. "Teleport away them come back for me!" I tried telling her. "Just so they shoot you?" She gritted her teeth. This was out of control, so I decided to take it into my hands. I activated Scary Monsters. "I'm going to touch you in exactly three seconds starting now. Teleport us." All I was going to do was one quick movement, avoiding to trigger any reaction. And it was time.
I succeeded in making contact in exactly under a millisecond, just another millisecond before the bullets hit us.

We were at my house in LA. "Agh!" She fell on the floor. She was breathing heavily. "What is this, Y/n?! What were you thinking??" I was so damn upset with her. "I couldn't do a lot." She couldn't look at me. "What are you saying? You really wanted to get us killed, yeah!?" I yelled. "Are you that stupid not to use NON of your abilities? Wasted potential! If only I could have them! YOU NEVER appreciate what you have! You never use them to your advantage, but rather the opposite. Playing fair will never get you anywhere!" I gritted my teeth, held my head in frustration. "If no one played fair, then what will the point of it be? It's not-" "You know what the point will be? The strongest out there will win. Can you tell what happens with the strongest when they get fooled? They lose. So?! Which side are you on?!" I screamed. "I'm on your side, but are you really a victor.. or a loser?" Y/N stood up and looked at me. "Will your tricks always work and permanently be on the top? What if you get shot next time? We both get shot then, right?" She said it. "What's happening here?" Suddenly Giorno showed up. He had a cup of milk with a straw. "We just got attacked at our school, a lot of people died. A directed attack towards me. Seems like they didn't care if it was public or not.. Waiting for the right moment when we were together." I explained our situation. "Ah? Did you kill them?" Giorno sipped on his milk. "No, it was risky for any public appearances. Let the police handle it." I grabbed Y/N's hand and took her with me. "Wait! Do you want me to investigate? I will get to the culprit easily." Giorno suggested. I stopped and looked back. "If you want to be involved, I would appreciate it. But it's not a big deal. There won't be a second time." I didn't have the time to deal with the attack. I had other bigger plans, more important.

"Look, Diego. I was scared! How could I be sure if they would shoot me in the head or not?! I didn't want both of us to just die!" She screamed at me. "You could've thought of something. It was weak and I expected better. But there's the other perspective of stress.. And we didn't at all expect any of this, plus last time we had to deal with such situation was months ago. All of that taken into consideration explains it." I sighed. "Though I'm really not in the mood right now and you should go to our room for some time." I didn't want to do it, but I wanted to clear up my mind. I knew that I couldn't be mad at her, however I was under a lot of pressure. "Okay." She gulped. Y/N sounded sad, but it was for the best. I went to have some cafe and a little work out.
