The day had started normally as Kaidou and Saiki walked home together from school. He started his usual blabbering session about the Dark Reunion and a random conspiracy theory he heard about. Despite Saiki’s obvious hints of annoyance, Kaidou remained oblivious.

Too caught up in his delusions, Kaidou took a wrong turn into an alleyway. One thing led to another and they found himself cornered in an alleyway by a group of gang members. Saiki was beginning to regret not correcting him.

“Hand over your wallet!” one boy demanded as he held Kaidou by his collar.

If it was any other day, Kaidou would have surrendered in a heartbeat. But with Saiki watching him, his ego got the best of him. He was the Jet-Black Wings, after all.

“Hah, you idiots really think-“

Suddenly, another gang member slammed a baton against the wall, barely missing his head.

Kaidou was quick to give up.

Saiki sighed, hoping the situation would deescalate before he had to use his powers.
