"Are we ready to go?"

"Ready as I'll ever be"

That got a snicker from Y/N to which he received some confused looks, waving them off as a funny memory before they make their way through the underground

"Well look who it is!" The group meets up with Oleg and Sampo in an Alleyway after recovering from the mission of convincing Svarog of the namelesses strength

"Where's Natasha, we thought she was supposed to be here?" Dan Heng questions, them having agreed upon a last farewell before they left the Underground.

"She's sorry she couldn't be here, and also sorry for hiding the fact that she was the leader of wildfire, but she's got a lot on her plate right now so I'm here to see you off."

"It's okay, we understand, must be a lot going on with some new hope shining down here" Y/N says, assuring him that it was no problem.

"So, what's he doing here?" Seele inquired, nodding her head towards Sampo who was standing a few feat away from Oleg

"Well, who better to show you the way back up than the guy who keeps sneaking up there right?" He says, pulling him closer and smacking Sampo on the back

Rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly, Sampo barks out a laugh before speaking "Well, what can I say-" "Nothing, just say nothing" Seele retorts which gets a shameless laugh out of Y/N and a few snickers from the others

"Are we going back the way we came down?"

This gave Y/N some flashbacks, of having to carry the lot of them down some very rough places with Sampo trailing behind

And Y/N threatening to kick his ass if he didn't hurry up

Those were the good times.

It seemed to get the opposite reaction out of Sampo, seeing as he shudders slightly at the thought of it "Trust me, I'd rather not do that again with so many of you"

He looks over at Y/N and the latter smirks maliciously leaving the man looking away quickly.

After settling on getting back to the surface through the furnace core, the 6 of them make their way to face the administrative District again.







"Fresh Air! Freedom, Cold... Yeah no just cold can we get going?" March exclaims after they reach the top of the stairs, the familiar sight of the administrative District greeting them.

"March is right, we shouldn't waste any time" Dan Heng agreed, he didn't s em too thrilled to be out in the open either considering we're wanted criminals

"Then I say we make our way to the Landau siblings, specifically Serval Landau" Y/N comments, just having had to drag Caelus away from a Trashcan

With a nod from the group they set out to make their way to Servals Workshop, Y/N trails behind slightly, noticing Seele's absent mindedness.

Nudging her shoulder, he asks "Hey, you okay?"

Seele jumps ever so slightly, turning her head to him and then back to the scenery of the Administrative District

"I haven't seen the surface since I was a small child, seeing this view, of these elaborate trains, and these people. I want the people of the underground to experience this feeling as well." It looked like she was in a trance, looking over the scenery of the District in Awe.

"We'll give it our all, and we will win, for all the people of the underground, and for a better future" He puts his hand on her shoulder and she turns to him, before she can respond though, he flicks her forehead
