-Later that Evening-

Things had mostly been quiet, even after they shut off the fence. There had been little talk of what had happened after they encountered the strange man in the suit. Dabi didn't tell them the full story; he only told them the half truth. When they asked, all he had told them was that Spada was there to kill Reina, nothing more and nothing less.

They were quick to put together that there was more to it. However they found it best not to pry.

Reina on the other hand looked more broken then she did before. Whatever happened, she just couldn't find herself saying it.

Dabi could understand that, after all he was there.

Since they started going on the road, each of them had taken turns switching between an hour or so just to keep on things; in case a lowly thug decided to slit their throats in their sleep or steal anything or kidnap anyone.

Dabi had been taking watch as he usually did now that they were traveling together. Mostly he just stayed outside, and didn't care much about the cold as he sat outside. It was a clear night as every star was out, and he had been mostly practicing his Quirk as he usually would do even before he was on the road. He felt his wounds sting a little even after he closed them with his flames.

Not like he minded the pain; on the contrary this kind of thing he was used to by now. Though a couple of his wounds were bandaged after Bethany and Kazuho won that argument they were able to treat the wound on the back of his shoulder and side.

He found it annoying though he had to live with it for awhile.

Feeling his throat had been dry, he went into the camper where most of the group slept. Bethany and Valentine slept in the same unfoldable bed that the couch in the camper provided, while Kazuho and Koichi had slept in a couple of bunks that had connected to the kitchen. Just as he got himself some water he heard voices come from the bedroom where Reina was staying.

He went over to the room finding the door had been cracked open slightly. Reina sat on the bed, with her jean jacket and hoodie long removed revealing her dark red tank top and her bandaged wounds; King was on the bed as well, as he had his head resting on her lap.

She had been using a laptop that Valentine let her borrow as she was watching a video.

He could've sworn, he heard some stifled laughter and giggles coming from the video; one of the voices belonged to her. When he looked over her shoulder he caught a glimpse of a girl with odd eyes of red and purple, with aqua green and purple hair, and a young boy who looked to be Japanese African with his hair in the form of a paintbrush as they looked to be in a beach house; they looked to be sneaking around.

One look at the girl's appearance and who knew who it was.

"Floyd-kun!" She said in the video, "We're gonna get in so much trouble!"

The boy with the paintbrush hair, named Floyd said with a laugh as he shushed her, "I know I know, this is gonna be good!"

"Reina-chan, Floyd-san!" A boy's voice from behind the camera said, "Are you sure this is a good idea?"

"Trust me, it'll be worth it!" Floyd said.

In the video Dabi saw they approached a young woman fast asleep on a beach chair as their voices softened.

"Okay Floyd-kun, ready?" Reina in the video whispered as she held a can of whip cream.

Floyd replied as he held what looked to be a bottle of maple syrup in his hand, "I've been waiting for this."
