"Finders keepers, losers weepers"

- Panic at the Disco
_______________________________________

"Jimin!"

"In the flesh" you sighed in relief that the Eros hero had came just in time to save you.

Looking to the front of the hero, you saw that the birds were now panicking because of the ball of electricity that was forming in Jimin's hands, making them fly off in different directions.

"My birdies! No!" The man yelled I'm despair as he watched them fly away. He also found the ball of light threatening and thus followed after his bird friends.

"Are you okay?" After establishing that the man and his birds had left, the lightning hero bent down to your height and inspected the scratches on your face and arms.

Since you were leaning on your wounded leg, Jimin didn't notice it at first and when he noticed the pool of blood forming around your leg, he immediately lifted your leg slightly to see the large gash.

"Y/N! You need a doctor, now!" Without wasting time, he placed his arms beneath your legs and back before lifting you up bridal style.

Swinging your arms around his neck to help him carry you, you tried not to hiss in pain at the sudden movement.

"I'll be careful" deciding that using his powers to run quickly wasn't the best option now and instead started to run in the direction he came from.

"How did you know I was here?" You asked, curious as to how you were so lucky to bump in to him at that time.

"I didn't, I was running towards the monster that Taheyung was fighting and heard you scream. Thank Eros that I learnt how to speed run" he was relieved that he had managed to make it in time.

"Thank you, for saving me" you thanked him genuinely. You couldn't even imagine what would have happened to you if he didn't show up in front of you.

"...I don't deserve your gratitude. If I was there with you from the beginning, this wouldn't have happened at all" raising a brow in confusion, you weren't sure on what he was talking about.

"What do you mean? Saving innocent civilians was your priority-"

"I wasn't saving people, Y/N... I ran away. I ran away because I was afraid... what kind of hero runs away from saving people-"

"But you didn't! You're here, aren't you?" Shocked at your sudden outburst, Jimin looked at your determined expression and saw that you were serious.

"It's not like being a hero is the easiest thing out there, it's probably the hardest, scariest job out there! You even coming back to save people shows how much you care about being a hero. You saved me, not once, but twice!" You persuaded while reminding him of when he saved you from the wolf villain.

Deciding to stay silent, Jimin thought about your words and how it made him feel slightly better about himself. He also thought what an amazing person you were to have believed in him so much and to have pushed him this far to become the person he was today.

"...Thanks, Y/N. I really needed to hear that" your eyes softened at his words and you couldn't help but smile at him.

"Anytime" suddenly, the ground shook roughly, making you and Jimin fall on top of each other with him cushioning your fall.

Looking to your left, you realised that Taehyung was now on top of the fallen clay monster and was currently holding it down. The blue haired hero looked tired, not having used his powers to stay big for so long had tired him out.

"You need to go help Taehyung!" You exclaimed to the Eros hero who was standing back up to hold you again.

"I need to take you to a doctor! You've lost a lot of blood, Y/N" he was right, you were feeling a lot more tired and dizzy than when you first received the cut.

"I'll be fine, just take me to a first aid zone and I can take care of myself from then on" you tried to sound convincing to the hero to which you were failing miserably because of how weak you sounded.

"You're crazy if you think I'm leaving you alone" and with that, he continued to run in the opposite direction of the clay monster.

"They need more heroes over there, especially someone with your powers!" Jimin continued to ignore you as he made it his final decision to get you to a doctor first. Biting your lip anxiously, you looked behind Jimin and at an exhausted Taehyung who looked like he could collapse at any moment now.

While you were looking over Jimin's shoulder, you noticed something move quick through trees, bumping in to them now and then but continued to run after wards. Your eyes widened in realisation that it was the speed girl from before and you quickly got the 23 year old's attention.

"Jimin, run!"

"What are you-"

"I said run!" Not understanding why you were telling him to run, he decided to continue on his speed from before as he knew you were too injured to be in his arms while speed running. He regretted it soon after.

"Thought you could get away from me!" Swinging her leg at Jimin's head, she was able to make contact and send him flying to the left while you got held back by her.

Your eyes couldn't leave Jimin's as he kept his eyes on you while colliding with a tree. He groaned in pain but knew that if he stayed still for much longer, he would lose you.

The villain throwed you over her shoulder once more and was about to head back to where Phantom was until something blocked her vision and soon made contact with her face.

The speed of the hit made her fly back along with you, making you fall off her shoulder but before you could hit the ground, Jimin was able to catch you in to his arms.

Around this time, you started to feel extremely light headed and the speedy duo weren't helping.

"J-Jimin... my head-"

"Stay with me, Y/N! I'll get you out of here, I promise!"
