Akira woke up the next morning to rock music blaring in the Man Cave. She groaned and pulled her pillow over her head, trying to block out the music. When she couldn't, she decided to get dressed for the day. She put on a navy blue collared blouse, along with navy blue slacks. She put on her work boots.

She went out to the Man Cave, where Ray was talking to a blonde haired boy while he pet Akira's Shiba Inu, Amaya.

The boy waved at her, and she smiled at him. "I'm Akira. You're the new hire?" She asked, walking towards him.

"Well, I haven't gotten the job yet," the boy replied bashfully.

"What's your name?"

"Henry."

"Nice to meet ya, Henry."

"Are you his girlfriend or something?"

Ray and Akira let out laughs, glancing over at each other, and Akira could see a hint of terror flash through Ray's eyes.

"No, no just friends." Akira hummed.

She noticed Nakano, her cat, waltzing towards Henry, and the cat rubbed against his leg, purring at him.

Ray subtly pulled out his tube of bubble gum while Akira kept Henry's attention away from it. Ray then stood up, walking past them.

"David," Ray hummed.

"Henry-"

Ray pointed to his mouth, "I'm gonna blow a bubble."

"O...kay?"

"And I'm gonna blow your mind."

Akira watched as her best friend turned from Ray Manchester to Captain Man. She let out a slight laugh at how flabbergasted Henry looked.

"Y-You're Captain MAN!" He exclaimed.

"That's right Henry."

Henry turned to Akira, "That must mean..."

Akira took a small bow, "That's right. I'm the Ghost."

"No WAAAY! Your Samurai armor is so cool! Is it real? I mean- I know it's real but-"

"It's real. It was a gift from my father."

Henry was about to ask another question when an alarm went off. Akira whipped around, turning to the computer.

"What's up Gooch?" She asked.

"The Jandy Bridge is out!!"

"The bridge is down?" Ray asked.

"Cars in the water, lives in danger!"

Akira rushed to grab her armor, putting it on in record time. She walked back to the Man Cave.

"You handle business here and meet me there." Akira told Ray.

Ray nodded, and Akira made her way up the tube and out of the store.

When Akira got to the bridge, she could hear the screams before she saw the carnage. It made her sick to her stomach. She sprinted towards the Jandy River, and she dove headfirst into the water.

She grit her teeth, prying open a car door and helping the people swim out from the car. Her eyes widened when she saw the people screaming for help. She watched as the bubbles came out with every scream. She grit her teeth, grabbing onto the door. She began trying to pry it open.

She felt her lungs aching for air as she put her feet on the side of the car.

Come on come on come on COME ON!!!

She fully ripped the door off the hinges, throwing it to the side as the victims swam out. She kicked off the car, not noticing the two dents where her feet were.

She swam to the surface, helping them out of the water. She knelt down, coughing and spitting up water. She looked up and saw Captain Man and his sidekick running towards her.

"Yūrei are you-"

"There's more cars in the water!" She cut Ray off mid-sentence.

She dove back under the water, helping more people as Ray and Henry dove into the water.

When everyone was safe, Akira sat on the riverbed, breathing heavily. She watched as news reporters swarmed them, and she stood up slowly. She walked towards Ray and Henry.

"Thank you for everything, Captain Man and Kid Danger!" The reporter exclaimed.

Akira felt like a knife had been plunged through her heart. I was first on the scene.

She turned and began walking back towards her apartment. She owned it just in case something happened to the Man Cave.

Ray and Henry rushed after her. Akira turned around to look at them.

"Are you heading back?" Henry asked.

"Heading to my apartment." She replied.

"You're not coming back to the Man Cave?" Ray asked.

"Not tonight. Amaya and Nakano are staying there though."

Ray nodded.

"Good job out there." Akira told them before she turned on her heel and began jogging towards her apartment.

When she got there, she slowly took off her armor, hanging it on the rack. She walked to the bathroom, undressing and stepping into the shower.

She stood under the water, reflecting on the day. She could feel the cold leaving her body as the warm water ran down her back.

I wish he was here with me.

"No you don't." She whispered to herself.

She sighed softly, washing her hair. When she finished up in the shower, she went to change into her pajamas and lie on the bed.

Her phone vibrated, and she turned to look at it.

Ray 'Everything alright?' -6:30pm

Akira closed her eyes. Of course he'd ask questions. Why wouldn't he?

'Yeah' -6:31pm

'Kira, I know you' -6:31pm

'We'll talk tomorrow' -6:32pm

'Why not now?' -6:32pm

'Ray please. I'm tired' -6:33pm

'Fine. Meet me at Junk-N-Stuff for breakfast' -6:35pm

Akira put her phone down, closing her eyes again. She let her mind wander. Of course it wandered to her and Ray. He was all she could ever think about.

I want to be in his arms. Watching tv. Fighting crime with him. I want him to see me the way I see him.

"He has a sidekick he has to train now." She reminded herself.

She opened her eyes, staring at the ceiling. Too many nights of this. She needed to stop. For her own sanity.

I love him.

She closed her eyes once more, this time, drifting off to sleep. She was woken up to her alarm going off. She jumped awake, noticing frantic texts from Henry.

"How did he..." she stopped when she saw his text.

'Ray's been captured' -8:45pm

Akira jumped out of bed, throwing on her gear and armor. She rushed out of the apartment. She met Henry at the location he had given her.

She came up behind him, tapping his shoulder. Henry jumped, but he calmed down when he saw her.

"How'd you find him?" She whispered.

"Ray said you got the information out of a henchman."

Akira nodded. "We did."

The two snuck closer towards the room where Ray was being held, and to Akira's surprise, she saw Ray being held in a giant baby bouncer. She snickered, taking a picture before Henry pulled out his phone.

She assumed he was doing the same as her, but he began playing an ice cream truck sound. The Toddler and the other henchmen ran out of the room, and Henry and Akira slipped into the room.

"Henry!" Ray called.

"It's Kid Danger."

Ray smiled fondly, his eyes locking with Akira's.

"Yūrei!"

"Hiya handsome." She winked.

As they began working to get him down, the Toddler walked back in with the henchmen. Akira grabbed the hilt of her katana.

"There was NO ICE CREAM TRUCK!" Toddler snapped. "Who tricked me?" He turned towards Akira and Henry. "And who's that boy and woman near my lever?"

"That's my sidekick Kid Danger. And my partner Yūrei!" Ray exclaimed.

Toddler and Akira locked eyes. Akira slowly unsheathed her katana, but Henry put his hand on top of hers. Akira glanced at Henry, letting her katana sheath again.

"Squish them!" Toddler commanded.

Akira and Henry bolted into action. Akira slid under a punch, using a swipe kick to knock a henchman to the ground. She leapt up again, dodging another punch before she punched a henchman.

"You guys are seriously the WORST henchman ever!!" Toddler cried.

Akira leapt onto a henchman's back, and the two spun around before Akira forced her body weight down, knocking the henchman out once they were on the ground.

Henry and the Toddler battled it out before Toddler activated a Bang Bottle. Akira's eyes widened as she put her arm in front of Henry.

"Now, we all go boom together!" Toddler yelled.

Akira looked over at Ray, who was looking at Henry. She stepped out of the way as Henry pushed Ray in the baby bouncer. Toddler screamed and got thrown into the ball pit.

You know we have to do?" Ray asked Henry.

"What?"

"We give the baby his bottle."

Henry picked up the Bang Bottle and held it in his hands.

"Hey," Ray said.

"What's up?"

"Hurry."

"RIGHT!"

He then threw it into the ball pit, the bottle bouncing a few times before it landed.

"Kid Danger!"

Akira pulled Henry into her chest, turning them so her back was facing the explosion. She used her arm to block any debris from hitting him.

The bottle blew up in the ball pit, spraying plastic balls everywhere. The Toddler's cap landed near them, and Captain Man picked it up, handing it to Henry, who promptly threw it to the side.

"Good work, Kid Danger. You've got skills," Ray smiled.

"Thanks Captain Man!"

"Come on, let's get you out of that baby bouncer." Akira giggled.

They got Captain Man out of the bouncer, Ray held onto Akira's shoulders for support as he stepped out. The two locked eyes, and Akira brushed a stray strand of hair out of Ray's face.

"Look at you. You look disheveled." She huffed, causing Ray to laugh.

"Uh, Ray? Akira?" Henry asked, pulling the adults' attention towards him.

"Yeah?" Akira asked.

"Can you guys, do me a huge favor?"

The two adults glanced at each other, a nervous expression on their faces.

The night progressed, and Ray and Akira had gone to Jasper's party. Akira stayed off to the side, chatting with some fans, but most of the kids were going to Captain Man.

"You know, it's really cool of you to do this." Henry said, standing next to Akira.

"Of course, kid. You saved Ray." Akira put his hand on Henry's shoulder.

"You'll have to show me some of your sword fighting skills."

Akira chuckled softly. "Believe me, Henry, you're better off learning from Captain Man how to fight. You don't want to be like me."

"But you're amazing with your katana."

"Yeah, but I kill people. You're too young for blood on your hands."

"I guess you're right." He nodded, before he realized, "I'll be back!" He then bolted up the stairs.

Captain Man made his way towards Yūrei, standing in place where Henry was.

"He's good." Akira hummed. "Wants to learn how to sword fight."

"Are you gonna teach him?" Ray looked at her.

She shook her head, "Not until you teach him how to fight with nonlethal methods."

"You know, you can fight that way too." He suggested.

"You and I both know I'm past that."

"Never too late to try again."

"Perhaps."

Henry came down the stairs, carrying a tray of birthday muffins. Everyone began singing happy birthday to Jasper, and Ray glanced down at his watch, his eyes widening. He nudged Akira with his arm, signaling they needed to go. She also looked down at her watch before they slowly made their way up the stairs.

They went back to the Man Cave, and they were met with Amaya and Nakano running towards them. She smiled, petting both animals before she hung up her armor on her armor rack.

Akira went into her bedroom, moving to lie down on the bed. She closed her eyes, smiling happily. She may not be Ray's sidekick, but she was still his partner, and that was enough for her.
