Stein's POV

I looked at (y/n) as she was shaking violently and staring at the two strangers on the platform of the Death Room with Lord Death. She was also crying rapidly and in her mind. I placed my hands gently on her shoulders to try and get her attention as I spoke to her gently. She didn't seem to be able to hear my voice and seemed to have her sight glued to the two strangers. 

I looked at Lord Death and he seemed to be watching (y/n). I went to walk around her but as I moved from directly behind her she turned had a small trip before standing and taking off back to the Death Room door. I sighed and looked at Lord Death before turning and chasing after her. 

"(y/n)!" I said. 

She ignored me as she ran through the halls and I was hot on her trail. 

"(y/n) tell me what is wrong!" I called after her but sadly still no answer. 

I chased her for what felt like hours. I saw the lab in the distance and knew she was going there. Maybe she felt safe there I'm not entirely sure. Maybe she was going there because it's the only place she knows in all of Death City besides the DWMA. I watched her as she ran through the door using the key I had given her earlier that morning. I ran in behind her into the dark, cold lab and sighed. I panted lightly. I looked around to see her shoes poking out in the dim lighting of the room. She was crouched in a corner with her hands buried into her hair as she sobbed and clutched her hair and pulled herself into a ball to make herself smaller and to even possible protect herself from the emotional pain she was feeling. 

I walked over slowly my shoes barely making a noise. I knelt down in front of her and gently grabbed her wrists. Her grip softened as she slowly looked at me. The tears still streaming down her once smiling cheeks. I gave a soft smile. 

"(y/n)..." I said gently. "Tell me what it is." 

She sniffed and wiped her face before tightly hugging me. 

"Those people on the platform with Lord Death. They're people from the Asylum I was at. I'm not surprised they found my whereabouts but I don't know how they found me so easily." she said and continued sobbing. 

I reached my arms around her and pulled her into my lap. i held her close to me until she calmed down. 

Your  POV 

Although I was safe with Stein at the lab I still had tears falling from my eyes. That was only because of the mental scarring I had because the experiments they had done on me and countless others. They technically weren't even experiments they were more along the lines of torture. Soon I was reduced only to shaking after sitting on Stein's lap for about an hour. I don't know what it is with him but he does keep me calm better than any sedation I've ever had. 

I sighed and eventually stopped shaking and looked at Stein. He gave a small warming smile and looked at me. His emerald eyes were filled with concern. I reached a hand and cupped his cheek before smiling back. He reached his hand up to mine and gently took it before leaning down and kissing me. I kissed back and he pulled away. 

"Do you want to face them or wait until you're ready?" he asked. 

I shrugged lightly and thought for a second. "It's now or never." I said. 

He smiled and hugged me. "Do you want to call them through his mirror or do you want to go back?" he asked. 

"I think being in the same room with them again would have to same problem as it did before." I said. 

He nodded and stood picking me up and carrying me to the bathroom where the biggest mirror was before setting me down gently and calling Lord Death. Lord Death picked up the phone and was bouncy as usual but this time a little worried. About me of course. 

"Hello Stein how's she doing?" he asked. 

Stein glanced at me. "I've calmed her down and she is willing to speak to the two people that were with you earlier but she asks to speak through the mirror because she believes that being in the same room with them would result in the same situation as earlier." he stated calmly. 

Lord Death rose one of his square hands on a gun position to the base of his mask as if he was thinking. "That is very understandable and I don't see why we can't do that." he said and moved a bit from the mirror to show the two from before. 

They walked over and looked like extremely worried parents. Just an act. 

They both gave seemingly genuine smiles to help with their facade. 

"Hi honey." The female of the two said. "We've missed you." she said. 

Missed experimenting on me sure. 

"Hey cupcake." The male said. "Won't you come home with us?" he asked. 

You mean to the Asylum correct?  

I sighed. "What do you two want?" I asked venom dripping from my words. They seemed to be shocked. 

"What do you mean? What do we want? We want our little girl back home." The man said. 

"She doesn't want to go with us Hidou. She hates us." the woman said pretending to cry. 

Drop the act. 

"Tenma you surely must be mistaken. She certainly loves her parents." The male said to the female. 

No one can love their parents after the shit they had pulled to their poor daughter and then expect everything to be peachy keen and that she'll go with them like nothing ever happened? Well you both must truly be mad.
