"What if she got kidnapped when she least expected it?" America pondered out loud as he leaned on his cluttered desk.

"Do you really think ■■■■■■ would willingly put herself in a dangerous situation?"

Silence filled the room as the American gave him a deadpan look.

"Let me correct myself. You think she would even let herself get kidnapped in her own home in the first place?"

"Not really, but what other explanation can we offer? Honestly, I have an idea on who would pull something like that."

Britain shook his head. "If you're thinking North Korea, I highly doubt he would go to such extremes and risk a breach in his nation's security."

"I wasn't meaning him." He said solemnly, the tone of his voice implying something the Englishman would rather forget tenfold.

The atmosphere dropped drastically after that statement. "Don't you dare say what I think you're going to say. That is not even remotely possible; we saw them die."

Britain gritted his teeth, trying to forget the incident. To this day, he felt indescribable anger towards those so-called beings who thought they could control him, his family, the world and her. Were it not for the divine intervention...he didn't even want to think of how their universe would have turned out.

"Clearly we have no clue." The American sighed, his fingers rubbing through his white hair which had some streaks of blue and red. He wasn't that concerned knowing she could handle herself, but he was still concerned for her safety under these mysterious circumstances. Even his father, the level-headed one of the two, was worried sick. When he told Japan, he had to make him promise not to tell anyone. If anyone else from the East found out...If China found out...

"Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down~" The ringtone snapped the two men out of their thoughts. They both went to check their pockets when the song stopped. They check their screens when America lets out a sigh.

"Just Japan." Britain looked down on the table, his eagerness dying down.

Before America could call back, he looked at the Brit in confusion. "Wait. Why did you check your cell phone when the ringtone went off?" The country only sighed in slight annoyance as he remembered.

"■■■■■■ took my mobile phone and put that song as my ringtone. She didn't tell me the reason but she made me promise not to remove it. Now I see why she did so."

"No way. She suggested to me to do the same thing." America chuckled. "I guess it was an attempt of making us bond if we had the same ringtone. ■■■■■■ can be so cool."

Britain smiled at the female's thoughtful gesture. As much as she knew USA would never be close to him as before, she still made an effort to build a rapport between them. She was cool indeed, and much more.

He looked at the map on the screen again, doing a quick scan to check what they could have missed. His left metal prosthetic arm picked up a paper which held a record of her past known locations. It was a pain in the gluteus to keep track of a time traveller who could go to any country she desires. That is where America would come in, with his developed technology and spyware. The Englishman hoped they would find her soon.

"Why was Japan calling you?" America shrugged as he stood up straight, putting his father to shame with his height. A part of him wondered why all of his adoptive children were taller than him but he wasn't vain to be butt-hurt about his stature. All that mattered was the respect he had earned over the years as an empire and monarchy.
