Xiao

"There are more cases back in the room. Please be careful."

Hu Tao

"Woohoo! We're gonna do it! We're going home!"

Hu Tao cheered, jumping around Scaramouche in happiness.

Childe

"I'll go get the other cases, you go test the antidote out!"

Again, they had been split up. Right when they went down to the 39th floor, they heard a huge bang.

The bang came from a massive metal door that had collapsed. The metal door was from a previously empty room. You walked out of the room gently, taking a few steps to your left, where you noticed them.

Scaramouche

"Is that...?!"

Apparently, you had taken down the door with the simple act of kicking it.

Hu Tao

"They're completely Infected!..."

Xiao opened the case, grabbing a singular tube.

Xiao

"Um... What do I do with it?!"

Hu Tao

"Are they supposed to drink it?!"

Everyone panicked as you started picking up your speed, getting closer to them.

Scaramouche

"I don't know, what did the note say?!"

Hu Tao

"We didn't read the note, Y/N did!"

Scaramouche

"Just- throw it at them!"

Out of pure panic, Xiao threw it at you, the glass breaking from the impact. The purple liquid stained your skin and clothing.

You looked down at your body, inspecting it. The redness and blurriness in your eyes, the pain running through your body from head to toe, and your urge to bite anything around you instantly disappeared without a trace.

You lifted both of your hands, looking at them front and back. You then raised your head, you saw all three of them staring at you.

You

"... What?"

Hu Tao

"Y/N's back!"

Xiao

"I'm glad you kept your promise."

Xiao said, as his actual smile was shown. Everyone was now able to properly trust you, you explained to the others what had happened after you got split up. Childe brought down all 14 cases, carrying them using both of his arms and his back. Even his neck.

(okay ykw it's probably physically impossible to do something like that unless it's like a guy with fat ass muscles and fat man tits but... cough cough childe)

You and the others carried the remaining cases and began hurling antidotes at the Infected. Because it worked on you the first time they threw it, you all felt the only method was to just smash the entire tube at them. It was also a lot safer than having to avoid the hassle of feeding it to them.

(but like... imagine just running for your life in a huge ass tower but then you see 5 gay asses just throwing purple stuff at bloody people who growl at people)

This antidote was so potent that even if the Infected bit someone who had already recovered from whatever disease they had contracted, the antidote's chemicals would defeat the disease's bacteria, and the Infected would be cured.

At this rate, more and more citizens of your dimension would finally become normal in no time.

After a good 16 hours of just throwing around glass bottles, all the antidotes had been used up.

Thankfully, you had all found the vision holders while shooting out the antidotes and gathered them up.

Ningguang

*Sigh* "I honestly hope that Liyue is safe, we've been stuck here for over weeks now."

Beidou

"Ah, come on!... There's nothing to worry about. Liyue will be perfectly fine."

(HAHAAHAAHAHAHA GIRLFRIENDS <3)

Zhongli

"?... Where had I been?"

Xiao

"You turned into something far worse than a monster, Morax."

Zhongli

"... Is that so?"

You gave Zhongli the most outraged and dissatisfied expression you'd ever put on your face; after all, he was the one who bit you and put you through all that bullshit. However, you were still aware that he lacked self-control.

This was unusual because every vision holder was gathered around you, and you were left standing awkwardly because you had no idea what their atmosphere was like.

Aether

"So, I see you finally fixed it?"

You

"Ah, Aether!"

You'd been looking for him, he was the one you were most familiar with around there.

Aether reached out with his arms, hoping for a nice, warm, hug from you, and just ended up getting his braid tugged on quite violently.

You

"Where the hell did you run off to in that crowd of students?! You had me worried sick, I couldn't find you anywhere!"

Aether

"Hey- Hands off my braid!... I was trampled over the students, did you not see me lying on the ground?! They're such animals, running over someone like me!"

You

"You were just lying there on the ground?... This entire time? Is my eyesight really that bad?"

Aether

"I mean... I didn't just lay there. One of the students started biting at my leg and... I can't really remember anything from that. But I did hear that you did meet Xiao and some others from Liyue and... Scaramouche."

Aether said, not really wanting to speak of that name.

You

"That's right, I found Xiao first. Apparently, he has such a strong concern for me, we're close. I like the fact that he's careful, but I'd say he took it a bit over the top."

Aether

"Xiao?... Strong concern?... Xiao barely even cares about anything."

You

"Is that so?..."

Ei

"Traveler, I would like to ask who this is. Do you know them well?"

Aether

"Oh, they're-"

Yae Miko

"Oh my, what is that attire?"

You

"What's wrong with-"

Itto

"Hey! Back away! Those are the clothes of a treasure hoarder!..."

Sara

"Itto please, treasure hoarders aren't all that."

You

"Wh... Huh?... Treasure hoarder?..."

(haha take note of the "treasure hoarders" which will actually be included in a future childe x reader)

Hu Tao

"Oh no, no, Y/N's not a treasure hoarder!"

Kazuha

"... Y/N?... Such a unique name."

(KAZUAAUHAHAHHHHAHAAHHAHAHA MY LOVE)

(i'm so sorry please ignore me)

Kaeya

"See, they aren't a treasure hoarder. We can assume that they're safe, right?"

Diluc

"... Something is fishy about this."

Kaeya

"Oh please. *Sigh*"

Aether

"Y/N is a good friend of mine that I made while travelling through worlds."

The others had a quick and well understanding now.

Childe

"Ah, Y/N's the main reason why we're all doing well now."

You

"I am?... I mean... I know I am, but it really wasn't just me, y'know. Scaramouche, Childe, Hu Tao, Xiao, they all helped out too."

Chongyun

"Hm... This place is much different from Teyvat. I'm going to assume that this is your world, yes?"

You

"Uh... Correct. I'm just stuck on how I'm supposed to get you guys back home, to Teyvat."

Jean

"Oh?... You know of Teyvat?"

You

"I'm well educated on it."

Lisa

"Interesting."

Aether

"Um... Y/N?"

You

"Hm?"

Aether

"I think I might be the reason everyone ended up here."

You

"Oh? Why's that?"

Aether

"Sometimes when travelling to other dimensions too often, the portals I create get quite unstable. I've gone from here to Teyvat, back and forth much too many times. It just makes sense, does it not?"

You

"Ooh... I think we'd better keep this info away from the others, I'd like your reputation to have good decency in Teyvat."

Aether

"Heh, thanks."

You

"Does this mean that the only way for all of them to get back is by going through one of your portals?"

Aether

"I suppose so. But no need to worry, I haven't opened up a portal since I got bitten which was weeks ago, so they should be stable."

Starting with the Archons and those who watched after their regions, each vision holder walked through the portal Aether had opened for them one by one. The rest quickly followed, with Aether and Xiao being the last to depart.

Everyone had given you their thanks for allowing them to get back home safely. Not exactly safely, but they were now in good condition, so it counts.

Xiao

"... Do I have to leave?"

You

"Come on Xiao, you've gotta go."

Xiao

"But... Do I have to?"

You

"Hey, you know Aether told me that you never act like this? He told me that you were all like 'I don't like being around people.' and something like 'AAUUGGHHH dark memories!' and stuff."

Xiao

"... Did the traveller really say that?!"

You

"Indeed he did."

Xiao

"..."

You

"My first time meeting you, aka when I saved you, the description that Aether expressed about you made sense. But after the time when you literally could not shower, I knew you were acting a whole lot different."

Xiao

"That could be because another side of me just... Came out while I was around you."

You

"Oh?... And could this be because Xiao..."

...

"Likes me?"

You said with confidence and an evil grin on your face.

Xiao

"What?!"

Xiao's eyebrows were now furrowed, his face all red. Honestly, you had never seen him like this at all. Even Xiao himself has never seen himself like that.

You

"You heard what I said!"

Xiao

"... You may be right, you may be wrong. You'll never know."

You

"Yeah, yeah, now get back home Xiao."

Xiao

"Could I... At least ask one more thing from you?"

You

"Go for it."

Xiao

"If I can't stay here then..."
