[hr][sup]City K --> HQ[/sup]
[@SpookySquid] [@Cherrywitch] [@FallenTrinity]

Shindo had stayed with the downed alien for only a few minutes until a copter came to take it to the labs for whatever reason. He stretched his back and then prepared to leave when he was told to report to HQ for debriefing. He questioned it. This was a first time for him to be honest. They knew him as one of those "part time heroes" who just came to the rescue when they could. Being a student, he needed to still attend his classes and such. So hearing that he needed to debrief at HQ surprised him and told them that he had something else to do. But they disregarded it and then told him to still go to HQ. He asked for a lift but the pilots were already flying before he could ask.

[color=00a651]"What a pain..."[/color] He muttered to himself as he walked to the nearest ramen stand. He fished out what little pocket money he had with him and began eating. The person manning the ramen stand looked at him oddly as he was still in costume but didn't say anything. The guy must think that he was just a fanboy or something. Shindo finished eating the ramen in record time and then he walked outside. With his stomach filled, he could probably make it to City A within a few minutes. Would it take him ten? Or maybe twenty? Ah he wasn't sure how fast he should go but maybe he should probably hurry.

And with that, he was off. His communicator buzzed to life and admittedly, he was actually expecting that girl, Puppeteer, to speak but was instead met with another voice. It was a male's voice. [i]"Flash Forward, boy do I have news for you."[/i] The familiar voice of the older male came to him. He was working in HQ as one of those desk attendants. He was also Shindo's uncle, Masahiro Tsubasa.

[color=00a651]"Really Uncle Hiro? Well, spill it."[/color] Shindo replied as he turned a building while still in his super speed. It took effort to run and talk at the same time. Thankfully, his ADHD helped in these sorts of cases as he is able to multitask without much difficulty. 

[i]"You know Dreadlock right?"[/i] Shindo gave a small grunt in reply. Of course he knew her. Everyone in the Hero Association knew of her. He's worked with her... at least twice before. He was admittedly impressed with her. She actually had a goal and wanted to continue this super hero stuff. He was impressed with all that were like that, as he was not one of them. How can someone be so willing to risk their life for some people they don't even know? He has asked himself that so many times. He was only putting up a front after all. He never put his heart in it. Not like the others... not like her. [i]"She's in the ICU."[/i]

Shindo almost tripped in shock. He had to stop and compose himself. [color=00a651]"She's [i]where[/i]?"[/color] He practically shouted the question through his earpiece. Dreadlock? That hero? In the ICU? [color=00a651]"W-What happened? Is she alright now?"[/color]

[i]"Geez kid, no need to be so worried. She's in a coma right now. I don't have all the details but apparently, Guardian accidentally hit her along with the alien they were attacking in his final blow."[/i] 

[color=00a651]"I... see..."[/color] Shindo took a deep breath and then started to run again until he entered Super Speed. [color=00a651]"Hey Uncle, remind me that I need to visit her."[/color] The transmission turned into static and then disappeared completely. Ah, they were cut off. That was fine, at least he heard what he needed to hear. He stumbled when he entered City A and then went to a complete stop. There were so many people outside and it was hard to weave through them in Super Speed.

He continued to walk to HQ with his mask still on. There were only a few who stopped, looked and pointed at him because of recognition of the second rank of the B class. Huh, surely, if it was Sunshine walking down the road, everyone would probably be taking pictures of him. Or maybe he was just being pessimistic. Oh well, whatever. It didn't matter much anyway. 

Shindo entered the HQ and then someone approached him to give him take-out food. He bowed as thanks and then opened it. Mhm, beef and rice. He closed it again as he would save it for later. He then stumbled upon the scene of Angel Grace, Guardian, Violet Reaper and that C-Class hero he had to apologize to for his earlier attitude. He stepped aside as Angel Grace and Guardian left the premises and regarded them with a small nod of his head.

He then approached the Violet Reaper and the male... Mrs. Pickles. [color=00a651]"Hello there Violet Reaper."[/color] He said, lowering his head in respect for the higher ranking person. He then turned to the male whom he will now refer to as Mr. Pickles because he is now growing uncomfortable of his name. [color=00a651]"And to you too, Mr. Pickles."[/color] He then stepped back and bowed, like one of tradition of where he came from. [color=00a651]"Please accept my humblest apologies of my earlier behavior and of calling you a civilian. What you have done was exemplary of a hero... and quite ingenious too."[/color] He said before standing up straight and then smirking.
