"So, how are things going with jefe?" Flug asked as he drank one more sip of his coffee.

It was 3AM and apparently the only ones awake were Y/N and Dr. Flug. Well, Flug is always awake at that hour, but it wasn't a common thing for the girl. She was just having some problems to sleep.

"Mmm," the girl shyly murmured. "You know how it is. He's grumpy as always... just his normal self."

The manour was extremely silent. There was no sound exept the wind blowing on the windows and the two humans having a friendly conversation in the kitchen.

"Yeah, I have some idea of it," Flug snickered briefly. "But I'm glad for the fact that Black Hat opened up to you, Y/N."

"I'm glad about it, too," Y/N smiled widely. "It wasn't easy though!"

Weeks passed by, and Flug and Y/N turned into intimate friends. Both trusted each other enough to share their feelings and secrets.

"I bet it wasn't." he answered, then looked directly at the girl. "Y/N, could I ask you something?"

"Sure thing! Go ahead."

"Are you happy here?" the scientist asked out of blue. "I mean - you used to have a different life before you met us. Your parents, your friends. I've never seen you talk about them."

"Well, it's... it's complicated." the girl answered nervously, looking at the sides. "My parents and friends still think I'm at the art school. So I just avoid talking to them. They would go crazy if they knew that I'm working for villains!"

"But... don't you miss them?" Flug asked curious and confused.

"Of course I do..." Y/N sighed, looking at a window. "...And one day I'll come back home."

Of course he have heard everything. The conversation wasn't too much from Black Hat's interest. Just until he heard Dr. Flug and Y/N talking about him. No, the villain wasn't physically there. He just had ears and eyes everywhere. Don't ask how.

What caught his attention the most was a single sentence said by Y/N.

"...One day I'll come back home."

Back home.

Back home?

Black Hat never thought about it. The idea of Y/N going back to her home was something that never crossed his mind. The villain actually had no idea of what is home like. His whole life he had no home.

A weird new feeling tightened Black Hat's chest. Fear. He feared the idea that Y/N wouldn't come back to him or something even worse.

But one day...

She will have to come back home.

One day she will go away.

That is why Black Hat was willing to avoid it.

At any cost.

Checking the business e-mail everyday single day is awfully tiring, believe me.

"No important, useless, no important..." Y/N sighed, her sleepy eyes directed at the notebook screen.

Extremely tiring. More and more pages.

"Bills, relatives telling me to draw them for free, the animation studio that I've sent my idea, more bills..."

But is satisfactory when a certain answer finally comes.
