I was Ingenium before it was cool

Hi, I'm Iida Tensei. Figured that if all my friends have Tumblr, and my little brother has Tumblr, I can't really stay behind. Retired hero, currently a stay at home dad on a gap year. I'm not exactly shy so ask whatever you like!

@tensei-plusultra

The smell of blood down an alleyway sent Stain running in that direction. If the victim was alive, he could help them. If they were dead, it was free blood. What he wasn't prepared for was for a villain to still be there, holding someone on the ground at knifepoint with a wheelchair discarded near the entrance.

Needless to say, this wasn't good. Stain stepped in just as the villain would have slashed through the other person, taking the wound himself. "Motherfucker-"

[bloodyconviction]

He nodded, leaning into him a little and sighing too. Any time his brother got injured, he didn't relax until he was better.

[tensei-plusultra]

Tensei held him close, protective. “It’s okay kid. It’s okay.”

[bloodyconviction]

"You're the one who's hurt." Tenya poked him a little.

[tensei-plusultra]

“And you’re the one who’s stressed about it. I’m fine.”

[bloodyconviction]

He didn't look convinced in the slightest.

[tensei-plusultra]

Tensei just hugged his brother close, rubbing his back. “I love you kid, okay? I got you. I’m not going anywhere. I’m fine.”

[bloodyconviction]

"...I know. I just worry."

[tensei-plusultra]

“I know kiddo. I know.”

[bloodyconviction]

Tenya nodded and just held him. He probably wouldn't stop being anxious until his brother was discharged.

[tensei-plusultra]

Tensed kept holding him, protective and caring.

He nodded and went quiet, just holding onto Tensei. "...Get some sleep. I've got you."

[tensei-plusultra]

“… sorry for worrying you again kid. I’m okay. I promise. I’ll be okay.” He assured.

[bloodyconviction]

"I know. You always are. But I've got you anyway."

[tensei-plusultra]

He just hugged his brother, finally letting everything fade out.

[bloodyconviction]

Tenya held him close, too worried to fall asleep and instead just keeping watch.

[tensei-plusultra]

Tensei was exhausted enough to not dream, at least.

[bloodyconviction]

It was a relief to see him get some rest. Tenya didn't know what had happened, but he seemed shaken by it.

[tensei-plusultra]

It would probably be on the news by evening, and if not, Tensei would tell him. He only had to ask.

[bloodyconviction]

For now, he just let him rest.

[tensei-plusultra]

It didn’t take long for him to wake up.

[bloodyconviction]

"...You're safe. You can go back to sleep."

[tensei-plusultra]

“I know. I’m okay Tenya. Not that tired anyway.” He gave him a small smile.

[bloodyconviction]

Tenya still looked worried about him.

[tensei-plusultra]

“I’m okay kid.” He assured, ruffling his brother’s hair. He knew tomorrow he would bruise like nobody’s business, but right now he would be okay for his brother.

[bloodyconviction]

"...Do you promise? You're really okay, and you're not just saying it so I don't worry?"

[tensei-plusultra]

“I really am feeling okay right now. I promise.” He said very softly.

[bloodyconviction]

"...All right." Tenya stayed very close.

[tensei-plusultra]

Tensei hugged him gently, protective.

[bloodyconviction]

He hugged back, trying not to hurt him.

[tensei-plusultra]

He would be fine.

[bloodyconviction]

"...I love you. Let me keep you safe."

[tensei-plusultra]

Tenses sighed, rubbing Tenya’s back. “I’m okay. I’m safe tenten. I promise, okay? I’m safe.” He murmured.

Needless to say, this wasn't good. Stain stepped in just as the villain would have slashed through the other person, taking the wound himself. "Motherfucker-"

[tensei-plusultra]

“Fuck!” Tensei cursed as he was dropped down, sending an engine-propelled fist into the villain’s kneecap, shattering it on impact and making him drop screaming. Tensei was quick to grab him and pin him down. “Are you alright? Can you get out of here?” He asked the person who just jumped in front of him. He couldn’t recognise them through the dizziness and bloodloss and disorientation, but he knew this was someone who just took a hit for him, someone he needed to protect now.

[bloodyconviction]

"I'm fine. Let me handle the villain. You sit down." Shit, he recognised that voice. Why was it always fucking Ingenium? Still, he didn't seem to have recognised Stain in return, which most likely meant he'd cooperate with the first aid. "Show me where you're hurt."

[tensei-plusultra]

He did recognise now. That voice still appeared in his nightmares even over a year later, how could he not recognise it? Tensei turned white as a sheet at the sound, focusing on pinning down the villain. “Don’t touch me. Step back. Call an ambulance if you can.” He said through gritted teeth.

[bloodyconviction]

...Damn it all. Nothing could be easy, could it? "Fine. But first aid would be faster," Stain said, stepping back and taking his phone out. He called the ambulance, sounding irritated, and offered his scarf to tie the villain up with.

[tensei-plusultra]

Tensei stared at him for a moment, before grabbing it and tying up the villain. Time for that later. There would be time for him to freak out later. Right now he had a job to do.

[bloodyconviction]

Once the villain was tied up and unlikely to move (Stain would have stabbed the fucker if Ingenium wasn't here) he shoved the first aid kit in the hero's direction. "There."

[tensei-plusultra]

“… thanks.” He said suspiciously, starting to methodically scan his body for injuries, bandaging the ones he found. Then he handed it back to Stain. “… you’re injured. If you need help with patching that up, I’ll help.” He could despise the man, he could be absolutely terrified of him, but he’d be damned if he wouldn’t try to help someone injured.

[bloodyconviction]

"I'm fine. I have other business to attend to tonight." Purposefully vague so he couldn't be stopped. He kept the first aid kit out, sliding it back to him. "You missed a couple."

[tensei-plusultra]

“Nothing the hospital can’t handle. And you just almost got slashed in half. So don’t give me that crap.” Tensei was stubborn.

[bloodyconviction]

"Seriously, I've got it. I'm fine. What I need to do is far more important." For once, it didn't even involve killing anyone.

[tensei-plusultra]

“… at least patch it up. I’m not really one to talk, but I doubt you’ll be able to do… whatever it is if you’re bleeding out.”

[bloodyconviction]

Stain rolled his eyes but did sit down, very roughly cleaning off the wound and wrapping it up, completely ignoring the white-hot pain that shot through him at this.

[tensei-plusultra]

Tensei watched, ignoring that this was Stain and he should probably apprehend him. Fat chance of that, without even his wheelchair. He was as good as he was back the first time.

[bloodyconviction]

"...Right," he said awkwardly once he was patched up. "Should I stick around until the ambulance comes, or can I fuck off?"

[tensei-plusultra]

“You probably should fuck off, the police will come too.” He said quietly. He wasn’t sure why he was helping him like this. But honestly he also just wanted him gone.

[bloodyconviction]

Stain nodded awkwardly. "I'll... er... see you at parents' evening with the kids." Was all he said before leaving, significantly slower than usual thanks to the stab wound. One thing he did do, though, was silently move Ingenium's wheelchair closer to him.

[tensei-plusultra]

Tensei would’ve been grateful, if he was in any state to notice it properly.

[bloodyconviction]

With that, the Hero Killer really did disappear, off on a mission at least somewhat less violent than usual.

Tensei was taken to the hospital, just to make sure and stitch up what needed stitching, and he texted his brother that he got into a bit of a fight and he’s in the hospital, but it’s nothing serious and he’s okay.

[bloodyconviction]

Tenya, ever the anxious type, replied with his usual barrage of worried texts and the assurance that he was on his way, do not worry, brother!

[tensei-plusultra]

Tensei texted to assure him that there’s no serious damage, and he just needs a few stitches. He was still shaken by everything, but he wanted to calm his brother.

[bloodyconviction]

Nonetheless, Tenya was at his side about fifteen minutes later, breathless from running the entire way here. "Are you all right!"

[tensei-plusultra]

“Told you I’m okay kid.” He assured. “Just a few scraps.” He leaned back on the bed, exhausted. Panic was exhausting.

[bloodyconviction]

Tenya chopped his arms a little and got up onto the bed next to him. "All right! Nonetheless, I am here to keep you company!"

[tensei-plusultra]

“You probably have more important things to do than sit around a hospital with me.” He ruffled his hair gently.

[bloodyconviction]

"Nothing's more important than family." He hugged him gently.

[tensei-plusultra]

He winced, just a little, hugging him back. “… what is it with villains and alleys anyway?” He mumbled.

[bloodyconviction]

"Ask one and find out," Tenya half-joked, staying close. His brother getting hurt always worried him to no end.

“For some reason they’re not usually eager to answer.” He sighed, tired. The encounter with Stain exhausted him beyond the injuries.
