"Shouta what was so important that you called such a sudden meeting." Hizashi was a little nervous as he looked around at all the other heroes. It's been a few days since Y/N was released from the hospital and so far she had some heroes or someone else saying with her taking shifts so she is never alone. Her children liked everyone who came over or stayed.

"I finally got some important information on Alexiana." He placed 3 manila folders on the table and passed them around so everyone can look while he started talking "Alexiana has been on the run for the past 2-3 years, it's in that range. She abandoned the rest of her children and now two of them go to Shiketsu Academy and the other three are in college. She is wanted for tax invasion, child neglect since four of the five children were minors when she left, unpaid tickets, assault, and robbery as well. There have only been sightings of her in the past years but, in the last 4 months she has been frequenting specific areas, never moving." He pulled out a thing folder from inside his capture weapon and placed it in the center of the table "She has been frequenting Osaka, Musutafu, and near Shizuoka. Now, look at this." He circled three areas in between each of the named areas. "Y/N lives here with the three children, her siblings live over here and this is where Lennox was living. He's still in custody."

"She knows where they lived this whole time." Nem was looking over the material muttering to herself lightly.

"It seems in the last four months that's when she found out about all of them but, if she knew how come she never made a move or try to attack?" Manual was talking about this with Mr. Brave, Snipe, and Vlad King.

"She might have been using her brother. That's when he started causing all of these problems. But, what about Ruska?" Ecto had a good point. They all knew how Ruska dated Lennox without Y/N even knowing and now there is a rift between the two of them. It was suspicious though.

"She honestly didn't know. After being questioned by the police and the detective she had a breakdown and had to be sent to the hospital. So, she's out." Shouta had connections and found that out along with La Brava's help too. The girl was cooky but, smart.

"It's a good thing Y/N has someone who is watching her 24/7." Thirteen made that point and most of them agreed until Fatgum pointed something out.

"She must know this right? That won't stop her. Y/N's children take the bus to school." It was deadly silent until Crimson pulled out his phone to call Selkie who was the one watching Y/N right now.

"I'll call Selkie and let him in on everything that's going on right now." The rest of the adults nodded in agreement as they continued to analyze and theorize with the brand new information and formulate a plan while Crimson went to talk in the other room.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I really hope I'm not overstepping a boundary or something by having you here." Selkie waved away any of your insecurities and worries.

"I wouldn't be here if I had something to do. I'm ahead with all my paperwork and my sidekick Sirius is handling everything just fine so don't worry your little head about it, okay?" He tried to mess up your hair but, you dodged his hand with a giggle.

"The hair is looking decent right now, please." He held up his hands in fake surrender. You were about to say something when his phone rang. "Go ahead I'll be here." He nodded his head moving to take the phone call while you continued coloring your panels for the next chapter of your herotoon. Keeping your hands and mind busy prevents you from panicking or overthinking. You didn't want to overthink or panic you had to be strong for your babies. It was a few colored panels later when Selkie came in and one look at his face told you it wasn't a good conversation. "You have to go?" Maybe something happened at his agency and he had to leave? Then who would come then to be with you?

"No I don't but, uh...I do have to talk to you though." You felt your nerves skyrocket as your stomach dropped. A wave of nausea hit you as he gently placed down your drawing pen and moved everything over so he can have your undivided attention. You had a ton of questions but you needed to listen first.

"I'm listening." He took a breath staring you straight in the eyes.

"Shouta and whoever else helped him found out a lot of information regarding...her." You felt your eye twitch so you took a steadying breath. Just knowing it was her had your blood pressure going up. You needed to calm down. Losing your shit right now is not going to help out anyone. "I'll start from the beginning. She has been on the run for 2-3 years, she abandoned your siblings when most of them were still minors so she's wanted for child neglect." You let out a humorless laugh. The irony." tax invasion, unpaid tickets, robbery, and assault." You let out a laugh from the gut but, tried to stop it to keep Kishiko from freaking out "...They found out in the last four months she's been frequenting the same three areas and that's Osaka, Musutafu, and near Shizuoka." Your face dropped completely devoid of emotion. You watched where his phone buzzed on the table and he opened the new message. His eyes scanned it and with a big sigh, he turned it to you. You squinted at the map with the red circles. "Any of those areas seem familiar?" It took a second to realize the areas circled were where you lived, where your siblings lived, and where Ruska lived with Lennox.

"No." You shook your head looking away. No fucking away. Why was she coming back? How long has she been watching you? How did she find out where you were? Where your siblings were? "How? How the fuck the bitch found out. How did she find out? Why does she care about me so much all of a sudden? She never gave a shit about me. She never bathed me, fed me, gave me water, took me to doctors, school NONE OF THAT!" You were pacing now your mind going a mile a minute. "She kept me chained in the fucking basement for years. My siblings used to take care of me the best they could and when they used to get caught I had to beg Lennox and Alexiana to hurt me so they won't touch them. Lennox wanted to use them the way he used me and I wasn't going to let him. I wasn't." You were breathing a little heavily pulling at your hair a bit. "What the fuck does she want? Does she want me? For what? For someone who can't stand me at all, prayed for me to die every day she sure is OBSESSED." You screamed that word slapping the wall knowing a punch would break it.

"We are assuming that she knows about you being with the heroes constantly so that's why she hasn't made a direct move on you. We think she's going to try to get you another way." You blinked turning sharply at him with wide eyes.

"She's going to go after my children. Or Michael or Lisvette." You felt like scratching but instead, you sunk your nails into the drywall. You'll get it fixed once Alexiana is no longer a threat to you. "This bitch got time to do all of this but, I'm the crazy one? I'm the one who had to go to the psych ward multiple times." You turned away from the wall and stood straight up looking out the window. "Now what, I can't watch my children 24/7. They take the school bus, nothing should happen." You were grabbing your hair tugging hard until a gentle hand grabbed your hand and held it.

"I can promise you. It may not be me, but no one is going to let Alexiana getaway. I swear on my life. She will be stopped." You were about to panic when he pulled you into his chest and that caused you to break down. He said nothing as you blubbered out everything she did and how tired you were of everything. You were tired of fighting, tired of proving yourself, you just wanted peace, you wanted to be left alone. He said nothing except hold you and, once you were completely slumped against him having tired yourself from crying he picked you up gently. "I'm going to put you on the couch and I want you to take a nap. I'm not leaving until your children are coming back home anyway so I'll be here." He laid you down and used the throw blanket to cover you up as you curled into a ball.

"Promise?" You weren't sure about what promise but, you needed him to say yes.

"I promise. Now rest. I'll be here when you wake up." Maybe a nap wasn't too bad right now for you.

----------------------------------------------------------------

"Selkie just called back and she did not take the news well. He finally got her to go to sleep." Everyone else grimaced not liking that.

"Maybe it wasn't a good idea to tell her especially right now," Cementoss said and he got a few head nods in agreement.

"If we didn't tell her and she had to find out the hard way instead of being aware she would have every right to be highly upset with all of us." Shouta the ever-logical one pointed this out. It was true, it was more like a pick your poison-situation. Would it have been better to wait until she's mentally stable? Yes but, they had no choice because she truly cannot heal until Lennox and Alexiana are behind bars or dead. If Alexiana was to die it had to be one of the heroes since their loopholes where they can get away with it. She's a civilian they will give her a harder time unless it was proven self-defense.

"She's been through so much it's a miracle she's alive or not some batshit crazy villain or vigilante." Hizashi had a point.

"I would rather her being a vigilante than a villain. Even though both go to jail Vigilantes are more respected in a sense than a villain." Snipe pointed this out and everyone else agreed. It was better to be a vigilante because no one in jail really saw a vigilante as a villain more like someone who was falsely guilted and now they are paying the consequences behind bars.

"I would rather handle all my paperwork and find out where Alexiana is so we can take her in. You said Detective Tsukauchi and his team are already working on it, right?" Shouta nodded the affirmative at Ryo who huffed before getting up. "I don't think there is much else we can do at the moment. Shouta has gotten more than enough information for arrest now it's a race against time." He was rather calm so he didn't start howling and growling.

"He's got a point. Now we just have to find her before she finds someone close to Y/N." Shouta was the voice of reason before something hit him "Lennox knew where the kids went to school and what time they get off and when they have recess." He turned to all of them in the room with a sense of urgency "She's going after the children." Ah shit. That just made everything else dire. "I got to let Tsukauchi know. He didn't want to know how the man feels about this whole thing but, he needed his expertise. Plus the guy was a sucker for cute kids.

"I'll inform everyone else to keep their eyes peeled. We got some of the heroes and sidekicks near the elementary school patrolling so I'll inform them to look out for any sketchy people and if they see Alexiana get the kids away from her asap." Everyone decided to end the impromptu meeting and get to work. Fatgum was in charge of informing Selkie and Gang Orca since Crimson was called in for an emergency at his agency.

"Please let her children be safe. That's the last thing that she needs right now. She deserves sleep, a break, and love." Fat was talking to himself waiting for Selkie to answer. He looked at the time and saw it was a quarter to 3 meaning her children will be on their way back home from school.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Selkie was watching Y/N sleep from the kitchen as he spoke quietly with Fat on the other end of the phone. "What do you mean she's going to go after her children? Why?"

"Because she knows that Y/N is being watched by heroes and now she might be tipped off about her children being watched. She knows their schedule due to Lennox telling her everything. The only time she might be able to grab them is when they're getting on the bus and when they're getting off the bus. If she's desperate she might try to ambush the bus en route so I already informed heroes and sidekicks to be on the lookout. Tsukauchi and his team are working with Shouta to find out a good time to make a move on her." Selkie nodded along his eyes never leaving Y/N's sleeping form.

"She deserves a break already. She's only 23 years old and she has been way more than most heroes I know." Fat hummed in agreement "I'll make sure to be on the lookout for the bus. That's the best I can do for now since I'm here. I'll wake her up when I know the bus is on the way. That should be an hour-ish from now."

"Let me know when they get there alright?" Selkie said yes and hung up on the man. He looked straight up and took a deep breath.

"I'm not religious but to anyone listening let her children be safe." He took a minute before grabbing water to drink. With his luck, he probably just begged a demon. "Might as well do a little work." He kept his-self occupied doing online work with his phone and tablet he had in his bag and before he knew it, it was 3:50 and there was no sign of the bus. He found that weird and figured they were going through traffic. Soon enough 3:50 turned to 4:20 and no sign of a yellow school bus. Maybe it was time to wake up Y/N.

"What time is it Kishi?" He went to the kitchen and tried his best to keep her from panicking.

"It's 4:20." She jumped straight up putting on shoes and heading out the door with her keys. "I'm coming with you." He locked her door following her as quickly as she was moving to the lobby where she went outside.

"They should have been here at 4. It's only an hour or less ride and they had no after-school programs. They always let the bus kids leave first too." You were trying not to panic but, with the previous news, it was hard to do that. You waited 5 more minutes and with no sign of the bus, you were about to call the school when Selkie's phone rang. He picked it up quickly and one sight of his grim look had you panicking. "What's the matter? Where's the bus? Where are my kids?" You didn't like that and the longer he was quiet the more panicked you got.

"We got to go. Your kids were 'picked up at 10 AM this morning."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Who do you think picked up her kids? What's going to happen with Alexiana? Let me know your thoughts and hope this chapter was enjoyable!
