Eri ran down the alleyway with heavy breaths and a searching eyes. She could hear Overhaul behind her. All she needed to do was find a hero, and maybe if she was lucky, they would take her right then and there. She would be free! Away from Overhual's grasp. She just needed to get out.

The light at the end of the alleyway beckoned her to run faster. She gasped when she heard words of other beings. Its been so long since she had last had contact with someone else besides anyone in the Yakuza.
She bumped into someone and fell with a thump. She looked up to see a tall, blue eyed man in a.... costume? Was this a hero? He looked like one. Would he hurt her? Should she-
"Ah! You took quite a fall there! Let me help you up." The man picked her up by under her arms. The girl flinched, looking down at her bare feet. She could feel the man's questioning gaze, but his hands were so nice. So warm.
"Eri, we don't want to cause trouble for the heros"
