Morning had come for the next day, and the abandoned district was as quiet as usual.

"GGGYYYAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

All that ended at the sound of a man suddenly screaming his head off. A scream that alerted everyone inside and sent them all running towards the man's room.

"SAITAMA?!" Ki shouted as she pounded on the door. "SAITAMA! WHAT'S WRONG?!"

"If this is another booger dream, I'm gonna slap him. I don't care if he gets mad." Vaccine Woman groaned as she rubbed her eyes. The door opened to reveal a sight none of them thought they'd see: Saitama trembling with a haunted look on his pale face.

"Sheesh. You look like you've seen a ghost." said Midori.

"Ghosts do not exist." Genos stated. "All I did was wake him up for breakfast."

"You have a booger dream?" Vaccine Woman deadpanned.

"No." Saitama answered, his voice only minutely shaken.

"Hmm...Just realized you missed a sale?" Beast Queen guessed.

"No." he repeated.

"Bedbugs?" Nori asked.

"No." Saitama answered.

"Then what is it?" Kogane asked.

"I was dreaming. Everyone was in it." he explained.

"Everyone? As in, all of us?" Deep Sea Queen asked.

"Yeah. It was...actually nice." he said with a smile as he thought back to it.

"Oh? And what exactly happened, hmm?" Ki asked with a sultry smile.

-Dream-

Saitama was walking about on patrol, hero outfit in place, and was looking for any monsters to fight.

"Man, where are they?" he asked in a bored tone before coming upon a small pond. He grimaced as he noticed the area littered with trash and the pond itself a dark and murky color. "What the heck is this? I stumble into a landfill or toxic runoff? They really need to clean this place up. Or at least fence it off until something's done." He blinked when he the water rise, causing him to back up. "Oh crap! Is it a sewer line?" he asked as the water rose just enough to allow the trash to float before receding, bringing all the garbage into the pond. It then seemed to spin and spiral, the garbage disappearing down the hole until it was all gone. "Huh. That was weird. The trash is gone and the lake's not dirty anymore. I wonder how that happened."

"You can thank me later~"

"Huh?" Saitama said as he looked around for the owner of the voice. His attention went back to the pond as someone began to walk out of it. "Oh. Hey Vaccine Woman."

"Hey yourself, big boy." she cooed as she walked out, allowing Saitama to see all of her. And for some odd reason...he couldn't tear his eyes away.

Her body look more feminine than when they first encountered each other. Her wide hips swayed with each step, her bigger breasts jiggling each time. The color of her skin also looked a little less toxic. More of an indigo hue that one would see on flowers.

"Saitama." she said, catching his attention. She smiled as leaned forward. "You're staring."

"Oh? Uh, sorry." he said while averting his eyes. "I don't know why, but I couldn't help it."

"Careful. I'm alluring, but toxic." she giggled as she gently ran her finger under his chin. His cheeks dusted pink again at her touch before she lead his attention towards the distance. "By the way, Captain Mizuki wanted to show you something. Don't keep her waiting~"
