Rabbit Season (male reader x Miruko)

Chapter 7: Aftermath

4:01 p.m

I wake up to the sight of the woman who just kicked my ass; Miruko. I couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable as her hair was draped down and touching my face. She smiled and extended her hand out helping me up "Sorry for choking you out like that, I kind of went overboard," she said with genuine care and guilt in her voice. "Don't worry about it, it's all good, so uh what did you want me to do seeing as I lost our bet?" I said with a slight smile. "Well, I uh, kinda......need your help...." she said in a very quiet tone.

Miruko wasn't one to work with others. She had no sidekicks, no team ups and had never been on a single hero team. So for her to be asking me for help must have been both embarrassing and hurt her self confidence. "Sure, what do need my help with?" I said, she looked at me in surprise, she must have been expecting me to make a mean comment or something similar.

"Well, there's these three villains that have been giving me some trouble. They're smart, coordinated and strong as hell. I've fought two of them at once and It was too much, one on one I could probably win but not in a tag team fight like that. I'll fill you in on some more info in my office. So, will you help me?" she said while extending her hand out for a handshake. My (e/c) eyes met her crimson orbs as I flashed her a smile. "Sure I'll help you, partner," I said as we shook hands and made our way to her office.
