Saitama knows there's essentially an ongoing apocalypse. He's all too aware of it, even-- but he simply tries to ignore it most of the time. Live as normal a life as he can, and try to help civilians on occasion. Honestly, though, even when he tries, he gets so much backlash that being a hero becomes less and less appealing day by day. Still, he's not a hero or working with the association for fame or glory; he really does want to make a change for the better, and that's all that even matters to him anymore.
... Still, he's accused of being a fraud. And as it's something that happens so often, he's given up protesting it. If what it takes to appreciate the job other heroes do is thinking he's a fraud, well at least he's serving a purpose, and it's not for nothing that he's disrespected and treated like dirt ...
But, with that reputation comes wide-scale rumors about him -- rumors that no doubt spread around to even the monsters that call themselves the androids. Now, Saitama doesn't know their entire deal by any means, but he knows that Genos doesn't feel too kindly towards them. And if he doesn't feel too kindly, then they must be pretty bad. Sure, they're terrorizing most people's lives as they know it, and Saitama's taken down quite a few of them and protected many civilians from them.. but he never really goes out of his way to hunt them down otherwise.
Even so, the androids know of him, though. Specifically, it seems they finally caught on to his strength and they really want him on their side. At first, they'd thought he was a joke, just like everyone else but Genos seemed to ... but now that they've actually gathered some data on him, it seems their targets are set on studying him. He's not exactly open to the idea of being studied for such a cause, not even if he was paid to do it though. Without fail, every time they'd try to attack him or capture him, he'd completely decimated them, and yet their attempts to capture him have never let up.
Saitama was hoping for even one day where he'd get to chill, picking at his expensive salmon and rice lunch as he sat on a park bench. Nobody else seemed to be in this park, though he could hear a little bit of a ruckus in the distance.
' Well. Nothing the other pro heroes can't handle. I'm just gonna eat, then .. check out that sale I heard about, or something.. '
Continuing to slowly pick away at his lunch treat, he completely ignored the android that was stalking closer to him until it was right in his face. Towering over him, with a cocky smirk and taunting words that went in one ear and right out the other, it'd expected to catch Saitama's attention in any significant way. However, when it was simply ignored, the caped hero's attention turning literally anywhere else to try and avoid a confrontation ... That baffled and agitated it.
Spewing more threats which were as good as useless to Saitama, the only even slight acknowledgement he gave the android was cutting it off mid-sentence, unreadable expression tinged with annoyance.
“ Dude. You're way too close to me. Move. ”
That's as much warning as this guy's gonna get. If he doesn't comply, Saitama's probably gonna punch the guy... But to a bystander, the situation probably looks way more dicey! Even though the android is gearing up, ready to blow away Saitama with everything he has, it doesn't look like he's got a care in the world... Does he have a death wish?
.... Yeah, kinda. But it's not like it could ever be fulfilled anyways.
