170 years in the past.
Vongola Headquarters.

The Vongola Mansion is oddly quiet. And it spooks the maids and butlers to no end. Usually the mansion would be filled with the loud sun guardian's voice, the creepy mist guardian's chuckle followed by some unfortunately tortured souls' screams and the right-hand man's screams for his lazing off boss. But it was only silence.

Giotto and G were in Giotto's office signing paperwork's with G guarding his idiot boss so he wouldn't escape. Giotto whines internally. Paperwork. Every Mafia boss' arch enemy. 

"Don't think about escaping Giotto. I'm watching you... " G warned him narrowing his red eyes dangerously doing the I'm-keeping-me-eyes-on-you gesture.

Giotto involuntarily shivered. His best friend is so scary.

His Hyper Intuition suddenly went haywire creating a big headache. He groaned painfully. G looks at him worried.

"Giotto, if this is one of your jokes, I swear-" Giotto interrupted G. "Someone's coming." Giotto said.

Before G could say a word the surrounding air chilled. G immediately pulls out his gun and stands on his guard. Same goes for Giotto, who immediately went HDWM. His orange eyes glowing even more with ferocity that only a true Mafia Don possess.

A big black portal appeared in front of them and they became tense.

Vindice... The name echoed in their head in recognition and a bit of fear. An familiar infant came out followed by a man wrapped in bandages.

On the man's arms is a brunette woman.

"Giotto de Vongola. We came in peace" Bermuda said. Giotto and G hesitated but lowered their weapons while Giotto disactivated his flaming gloves.

But they didn't let their guard down. Bermuda nodded at this, never put your guard down when a neutral party is near.

"We only want you to take care of her" Bermuda said gesturing at the woman on Jager's arms.

The brunette woman has cuts all over her arms and legs. Blood soaked her suit and her bruised face is frowning, like she's having a nightmare.

Giotto and G look at the girl shocked. "You see, she's the boss of a famiglia that was recently wiped. We're still looking for other survivors" Giotto and G gasp silently. A woman as a boss?

Not that they are sexist, they are glad that there are women capable of standing for themselves but hearing a woman as a Mafia Don is very rare.

"She's an ally of ours and we appreciate if you won't treat her bad" Bermuda said. "We'll be entrusting the others survivors that we will find in the future to you so expect our visits, Giotto de Vongola" Bermuda said and Jager puts Tsuna on Giotto's arms, carefully avoiding to further irritate the injuries.

Giotto freaked out for a minute not used on having a woman in his arms. It reminds him of the incident on Valentine's Day, but that's another story for next time.

Bermuda floats near Tsuna's hard again and pats her forehead once again. Her painful expression turned into a calm one, breath calm and almost inaudible.

"Be strong, Hime-sama." He whispered and disappeared with Jager through a portal that he summoned.

Giotto looks at the woman in his arms with sadness, taking in consideration the numerous cuts and bruises, some were old and shallow, some were new and deep. There's dark skin surrounding her eyes that clearly indicates lack of sleep, pale complexion and sunken cheeks. She looked like she just participated in a gruesome war.

Giotto sucks in a shaky breath and faced D, he ordered "Call Knuckle" And the man nodded, he sent a worried look to the woman in his arms before leaving. Giotto heads towards the infirmary.

"Please hang in there, Miss."
