Rose and Bakugo walk into the meeting room, where Rio's trusted men are already gathered. The room falls silent as they enter, all eyes on Rose. Rio stands at the head of the table, and a flicker of surprise passes over his men as they see her after all this time.

"This is Bakugo," Rio announces, gesturing to Bakugo. "Our new alliance. His group will work with us, but they will remain independent."

The room remains tense as Rio's men murmur amongst themselves, all in Spanish, clearly not expecting Rose's return.

"Why the hell is she back?" Luis mutters, casting a glance at Rosalia. "I thought she was gone for good."

"I didn't think we'd see her again either," Juan adds, his voice low but clearly confused.

Diego leans back in his chair, a smirk playing on his lips as he looks at Rosalia. "I, for one, am happy to see her again," he says, his voice dripping with smugness.

Bakugo's eyes narrow as the men speak in Spanish, clearly talking about Rosalia. He leans closer to her, his voice low but demanding. "What are they saying?"

Rose glances at him. "They're just... surprised to see me again," she says, her voice even.

Rio, sensing the tension rising, quickly steps in. He switches to Spanish, his tone firm and commanding.

"Enough," Rio snaps, his eyes sweeping across the room. "Rosalia is my cousin, and she's back. Don't question my decisions."

The room falls silent, his men immediately quieting at his words.

With the room back under control, Rio turns his attention to the meeting at hand. He begins outlining the next mission, speaking in a mix of Spanish and broken Japanese as he goes over the details. Rose sits beside Bakugo, translating Rio's words for him.

"He's saying the mission will involve taking down a small convoy of heroes transporting tech we need," she explains quietly to Bakugo. "They'll want us to coordinate with them to make sure it goes smoothly."

Bakugo listens, his focus on the mission, but he can't help noticing the way Diego keeps staring at Rose. The smirk on Diego's face grows more irritating by the second, and Bakugo's patience wears thin.

As the meeting progresses, Diego's gaze lingers too long on Rose, his smug expression sending a surge of possessiveness through Bakugo. Without thinking, Bakugo throws his arm around her shoulders, pulling her closer in a clear, unspoken message.

"She's with me," Bakugo's eyes say, though he doesn't utter the words aloud. Diego glances at him, the smirk fading slightly as he registers the gesture.

Rose feels the shiftin Bakugo's posture, a small smile tugging at her lips. She knows exactly whathe's doing, and while the tension in the room remains thick, she feels a senseof calm knowing Bakugo has her back.
