26 Meetup.
When Hazel opened her eyes from the quick nap, she checked the timer.
"2: 21: 53 left." She thought and sighed. She hoped she could get out soon, or else her bladder and food needs would pop up. As she was just staring at the concrete slab, she started to hear faint noises.
Alarmed, she laid still and listened to the conversation.

POV change.
"Argh, can we rest already?! We've been walking for hours!" Seth was started to drag his feet.
"It's only been 4 hours, chill out." Liu was surprised at his laziness.
"..Bro it's 4 hours...4 HOURS! AGbfhvwiuvworgviwiwv!" Seth started muttering comprehensible things. Liu just had a disgusted look on his face. As they were walking along a destroyed building, Liu felt something...off.
He stopped and looked at the pile of rubble. He furrowed his brows and went closer slowly.
"Huh? What are you doing?" Seth stopped and looked back at Liu.
"Just thought I saw something." Liu could tell that this something was a living human being. His ability helped his senses over the past few days, this was probably the reason Seth was complaining. For him it was normal, for Seth it was hard.
Liu saw that the breathing became a bit more rugged. This person was probably awake.
"..You, who are you? Come ou-" As Liu said these words, he realized that they were buried underneath the rubble. "Ah...Do you...need help?"
The breathing seemed to stop for a second. "Y-...Yes." The voice was barely audible.
Seth was next to Liu by now. "L-Liu how do we get her out?" (Seth could tell it was a girl's) He was confused on how Liu sensed the girl, but he just though Liu was very overpowered.
Liu looked around and saw a large piece of concrete and some other pieces of scrap metal. He could see through the cracks, and saw a white stained dress riddled with dirt and other substances.
"Seth, help me lift up the slab." Liu motioned to the concrete slab.
Seth seemed reluctant, (since he wasn't sure if he could even help) but he did it anyway. After some heavy heaving, they finally got the block off.

POV change.
Hazel was freaking out on what to do. She answered since he knew she was there, but how would they treat her?! She's wounded, and unable to do anything. Her parents always told her she was prettier then average, but she never believed them...Now...was that true??!!! What's going to happen??
Hazel was having a panic attack. When the slab was lifted, her eyes were teary as she tried to back away from the setting sun.
A red haired man with one of those wild young haircuts, popped his head in. His eyes widened in shock.
"Huh? How old are you?" His voice showed worry.
"N-N-N-I...I-I..Mm..." Hazel kept stuttering and she lowered her head in shame. She was mad she was so pathetic without Kroff.
"Seth, calm down. She's obviously scared." Liu was so saint, but he used to have a younger cousin like her. So he was a bit more gentler then usual.
"..Ah." Seth paused. "Sorry about that! I just was a bit surprised when I saw someone as young as you here!" Seth scratched his head, and made a pure goofy smile. It made Hazel calm down a bit, but she still didn't trust them.
"Well uh i'm Liu and this is Seth." Liu motioned to Seth. "I was just passing through here and I thought I heard breathing."
Hazel froze. He...heard me breathing???? How good does your sense of hearing have to be, in order to hear a person breathing several meters away?!!! This is dangerous.
Seth saw Hazel's confused expression and cleared it up.
"Haha, Liu is a ability user that can increase his hearing very well!" Although Seth seemed like a easy going person, he wasn't dumb. He obviously knew not to reveal Liu's ability to a stranger.
"Ah...." Hazel realized she was covered in dirt and unknown substances. She blushed a bit.
Liu noticed this and spoke. "If you want, we can help clean you up and provide a place for you to stay. If you already have somewhere you can go there."
"E-Ehh? R-Really?" Hazel looked at him suspiciously. It seems to good to be true.
"Well you just remind me of someone who's important to me. So I think I kinda have a soft spot for you." Liu smiled a bit. Seth looked at him with wide eyes.
"...Liu."
"Yea?" Liu turned to Seth.
"Are you...a loli lover?"
Liu smacked Seth, as Hazel hurriedly backed away.
"I mean, it's okay. You don't have to..."
"N-No! I'll come!" Even though Hazel didn't have the system, she still had her whip that she can control for free. This should be enough to deal with normal ability users. "And uh..I kinda can't move my body."
