Stuck with Him (Metal Bat OPM)

Chapter 2

Not gonna happen, Ai teleport between the men, saving the little girl and brought her away from the scene. At the same time, she gave a deep cut on Garo using her dagger.

Ai then teleport again to behind a van, near to the girl, guarding the girl from far. She then heard Garo shouting, "Show yourself, coward S Class hero!".

"Guess he referring me." Ai muttered under her breath. She then locked her gaze toward Garo as she could predict that he will aim Metal Bat as a bait.

As Garo launched his deadly move, Ai also launched her speed attack towards him. As light as feather, Garo flew away and crashed into a building. She landed a few metres, not far from Metal Bat and Zenko.

What's wrong with that weirdo?, Ai thought as she kept an eye on the building where Garo at.

"Mind to tell who are you?" Metal Bat pointing his bat at her back while his other hand protecting Zenko, as Zenko hugged his leg.

"No one, but you're welcome." She said sarcatically and about to teleport, a cyborg appeared in front of her, blocking her.

"Oh Genos?" Metal Bat looked at him, confused why he's here. "I believe you the one who hurt my master feeling." Genos looked straight at her.

"Master?" Ai repeated the word. "Saitama sensei.", and Ai's lip turned to 'Ohh', and smirked.

"Cause I call him stupid baldy hero? Pfft. Seeya loser." Ai laughed sarcastically and left the scene using her teleport. She could heard the cybord tch-ed her responsed as she teleporting.

"You know her?" Metal Bat asked Genos. Genos shook his head, "Saitama sensei was upset when he came home telling me that someone called him stupid baldy hero, and it appeared it was her."

Metal Bat sighed and swung his bat onto his shoulder, and carried her little sister into his arm.

"By the way, the hero hunter is over there. She knocked him out." Metal Bat told the cyborg. "By herself?" Genos surprised with that fact, Metal Bat and Zenko nodded their head in sync.

Could it be.. She is sensei's rival?, Genos thought as he looked down.

"I already contact the head quarter to bring this guy. Anyway, why are you here?" Metal Bat asked. "They sent me here to help you, but I guess the work is done." Metal Bat respond with 'ohh'.

"Hey big brother, you don't know her? Isn't she a hero?" Zenko asked. "Nope. Never saw that face before. Hey cyborg, you are quite close with the head management, you don't know anything about her?"

"No. Never in my data." He responsed as he held up Garo and chained his both hands.

Seeing that guy injured badly with just one hit, how strong is that lady?, Metal Bat thought. And she's quite hot and cute, He smirked as he flashed back the scene.

"Oi. Why are you smiling? Did that guy hit your head that hard till you go insane?" Zenko flicked his forehead, making Metal Bat chuckled in responsed. "Nothing."

Zenko looked at her brother with narrow eyes, "Don't tell me you already has crush on her." Metal Bat kinda shocked a bit but remained his unbothered face. "Hmph"

//back to Ruby//

"Oh god! My daughter!" As soon as Ruby arrived at the safe place, a woman ran towards her. "Mommy!!" Ruby helped the girl to come down by grabbing her colar with her mouth.

"Oh my sweet daughter, you are safe! I thought I lose you forever." The mother of the child hugged her tightly. "Mommy, there's a lady saved me with her big err-- dog?" She pointed to Ruby.

The woman then fixed her gaze at Ruby and smiled to her, mouthed 'Thank you so much'. Ruby responsed by nodding her head and left the area.

'Hey Ruby, where are you?' , Ai's voice inside her head.

'The safe place but already heading to you.' , Ruby replied.

'The girl is fine?'

'Yup and already with her mother.'

'Thank god. Btw, I'm in trouble.'

'What is it?'

'I'll tell you when we find each other.'

'Alright.'

I hope it's not that bad.., Ruby thought.

// Two days later, at the head quarters of Hero Association //

"She's suprised me with that small body." Silver Fang commented, followed with Blue Fire, "I have to say, I like to have a spar with her."

"Tch. I can do better than her." Tornado mumbled but she only received unbothered faces from all the S Class heroes and of course, Saitama looking at her with 'eh'.

"Since she caught everyone eyes, I want her to join us as S Class hero." Sitch stated but Tornado against it. "I don't agree. You just saw her in one fight and already to put her at S Class hero? And why is that B class hero is here?!" She turned to Saitama and again, she received the same scenario as before this.

'Eh?' Saitama responsed.

"I'm agree with Tornado." Flashy Flash voice out, and Tornado smirked as she won something. "Why is that so?" Sitch asked.

"I admire her strength but that is not enough to proof she qualified in S Class." He said and continued, "How about one of us, go find her and have a face to face battle with her? Then only I approve that."

Sitch nodding his head as he agreed with him. "Anyone to object or to add on?" He asked and Saitama raised his hand. "Yes, Saitama?"

"Let me have a battle with her first. I want to claim my pride back." He said as he still remember the words that she said to him. "No." Sitch said and Saitama looked down, defeated.

"For this mission, I give to Metal Bat, Flashy Flash and Zombieman." Sitch said and they nodded in unison.

"Whyyyyy?!" Saitama cried. "Don't worry sensei. You can have revenge by yourself." Genos whispered and Saitama smiled evilly. "You're right."

"If I caught anyone trying to face her, you will be fired from Hero Association." Sitch said and again, Saitama feel defeated over there.

"Dismiss."

// move to next scene //

"What's in your mind?" Ruby looked at her master as she worried about something. "Worry about the heroes going to find you?" She added, climbed up the cushion, and sitting on Ai's lap as she staring at the ceiling, emotionless.

Ai sighed and stroke Ruby's fur. "I never ask for this." She sighed more and hugged Ruby, Ruby put her head on Ai's shoulder. "I'm always here for you, Ai." "I know. Thank you, Ruby."

// at City Z //

"So she's staying at City Z?" Zombieman said as he read the profile about Haruno Ai. "And we are going to meet a lot of trouble there.." Metal Bat sighed. They knew city Z is the most popular city with monsters as they lived there.

"Oi, Flash. Why so quite?" Metal Bat poke him with his bat. "I was just thinking.." "About what?" "This girl. She is somehow familiar to me." Flash said as he observed the photo of Ai.

"Could it be..your ex?" Zombieman teased him as he noticed that Flash keep staring at the photo since during the meeting. Flash just gave his unbothered face and continued walking.

Haruno Ai... Haruno.. why I have heard that name before?, Flash thought.

"Eh?" Metal Bat stopped. "What is it?" Both Flash and Zombieman stopped and looked at him.

Could it be..., Metal Bat thought. "Follow me! I think I just saw her." He said and he started running. Zombieman and Flashy Flash exchanged look before following Metal Bat.
