Well-Rounded : OPM X Invincible Fan Fic

Chapter 24: M.I.A

...

It was quiet for sometime and Dr. Brandyworth spoke, stroking his hand over the young heroes noggin.

"Im sorry Sam. Its my fault. All of this..." he paused the girl's faces buried on his shirt.

"And... Mr. Smiths arrest and my medical treatment." his eyes watered. "I-I-Ive cause nothing but-"

He clenched his hands into a tight fist out of regret and frustration.

"No..." she cut him off "Dont ruin this. Lets move forwards." Sam spoke, looking up to Elias with her eyes watering too.

...

"Ok... *inhale* *sniff* Ok..." he agreed.

"And Saitama will be fine *sniff*. Never seen him get hurt. I hope.."

She simply rested her head on his lap and pushed the thought aside and hoped for the best that the bald weirdo was fine.

The scientist kept quiet, but became more curious. Intrigued that Saitama was more than he expected to be.

"Happy Birthday, Samantha..." he said to the girl.

"*Sniff... Sniff...* Thank you..." she responded.

---End of Flashback---

She stared blankly at the ceiling, yet it the memory of the caped hero kept showing up in her head.

"If only I was stronger back then..." she regretted.

She thought if she stopped the incident from ever happening, Saitama might have brought her to a restaurant to celebrate.

But thats too late now.

"Don't beat yourself up Sam. Saitama wouldn't wanna see you like this.."

Cecil spoke while standing near the rooms door. Leaning againts the wall with arms crossed.

"Wha?!"

This started the girl and immediately got to her combat stance. Hands up and posture low for stability.

"Who are you and how did you know his name?!" she said loudly to the intruder.

All the object in the room floated. The man simple stood straight and reached his hand into his suit.

"No need to escalate this, Samantha. Cecil Stedman, Director of GDA" he spoke calmly.

"I'm his employer. Him, Brandyworth, and Rex" he continued, not showing much emotion.

"Here!" he threw his I.D to the girl.

Samantha caught it and inspected it. All details are legit, but the picture bothered her.

"You look younger in this picture..."

"Stress and work hazards. Thats to be expected when your in my position, kid." he responded

She squinted her eyes at Cecil for some moments. Judging him.

"Look, I'm a busy man. I came to give you this."

Whish!

He stuck his hand into his suit again and threw her a calling card with a flick of his wrist.

"We'll meet again. Saitama is fine by the way. On an assignment."

Click

He bid farewell and vanished. His body flashed to non-existence.

It confused her and on how he vanished. Speculating it to be a form of teleportation.
