Gaia rapidly ate at the food Isabelle made and so was her husband. It was nearing night time and the masterful rejuvenating ninja had allowed them a bath to clean up and prepare as much food as they needed so they could feel the delightful sensation of a full tummy again. Genos, Saitama, Sonic, and Drive Knight were all watching in awe at how starved they were. Gaia's messy, short black hair had been combed and thoroughly shampooed while her husband, who also had black hair, was given the same treatment.
Gaia's complexion, since she didn't go out under the sun a lot due to Gratta, it was as pale as a ghost...the same went for her husband. Her husband had blue eyes and his hair was straight, bangs going down past his eyes. His hair was short too, but it being wet, made it look a little longer. "Gaia, when you're feeling well enough to speak, could you explain to me where Ebon Metal is at? And, what all did he do to you that made you go into hiding? You could've come and looked for me, I could've been able to save you!" Isabelle's brows knitted together with worry, she hoped her best friend would answer... Seeing that it's been quite some time now after they woke up from their long rest, she truly...hoped...that she would believe she's not an illusion. By long rest, I mean they slept in the apartment for a while in complete comfort.
As if on cue, the woman paused in mid-bite, her green cat eyes held no emotion until recognition hit her. Life was still flickering in her eyes, but even more so at the mention of the villain's name. Slowly the utensil she was using, lowered to her plate, and a distant look appeared in her eyes. Her husband halted in his eating pace as well and peered over at the blonde-haired woman, frowning. A long moment of silence ensued, making anticipation and concern build up. "During that time...neither I nor Lumeri could escape... We were being hunted through a forest after we got away from his lab. He sent several huntsmen after us with guns that were loaded with gun powder and tranquilizer shots," she began as her mind got filled with the nightmare of a memory she had.
The scene changed to show a flashback. Gaia, who held the baby safely and protectively in her arms, ran out of a stoned door that had opened up where a gravestone once stood. She and Lumeri rushed across the graveyard and passed up other gravestones, not long having the said huntsmen appear out of the stoned door and give chase. Five huntsmen...were chasing them, one of them lifted up a gun and aimed it at the mother only for the couple to split up and avoid it after he shot out.
"After them!" Another man yelled out with his flashlight beaming all around as he ran, holding up his pistol in an attempt to shoot the husband. Lumeri rushed around a tree to hide and when that same man came around, he jabbed his elbow into the man's throat and killed him. Lumeri ran back around and caught up with his wife, then pulled her out of the way of another man's gunshot. "Man down!" one said, rushing over to the couple with fury in his eyes after seeing the man Lumeri killed.
Quickly they ran, avoiding more tranquilizer shots by maneuvering through the trees in an unpredictable pattern. "Gaia, we can't let them have our baby! Anything but her or you! I'd rather throw my life away if it meant saving you and our little girl!" he hollered out as he ran, just enough so she could hear. "And, if her blood falls into the wrong hands, it would be the end for everyone!" he added, his strict blue eyes not once wavering from his panicked state. "I love you..and I'd rather be caught dead than let them take you and her away!" he yelled out through gritted teeth; seething anger was being directed towards Ebon Metal and was evident in his eyes.
