"The boss? So you mean you can tell where he is inside that building?" Jutting a thumb back towards the building he gave a nod. "That's really neat actually." Watching as he traced his finger over a section of the map both of you turned back towards the boat hearing Fugo speak.

"Sorry, Giorno, but could you grab that water? I'm a bit thirsty." Pointing towards the end of the boat where a bag sat Fugo added on. "Also, you both should be careful. We've been ordered to wait here on the boat for now, and not on the island."

"Right." Closing up the laptop and moving down the stairs back towards the boat you trailed behind Giorno, a weird sort of gut feeling began to stir up within you. Watching Giorno reach out towards the water bottle there was this odd jump if that made sense.

The bottle he'd just grabbed out of the bag was now in Fugo's hand and you were seated beside Abbacchio, when you distinctly remembered being on the steps behind Giorno.

"By the way, I didn't thank you yet, did I Giorno?" Pausing to speak to the blond, Fugo held up the plastic bottle in hand. "For grabbing the water."

Catching sight of Giorno's turquoise hues widening you both made eye contact, both at a loss for words at what had just happened. A cold chill ran down your spine followed by an intense heat much like how your stand felt when it was activated.

Something happened inside. Either to Bruno or Trish, but something happened and your stand was currently trying to repair whatever damage it could.

Standing up from your seat and turning just in time to see Giorno step farther onto the island Abbacchio rose to his feet pointing at the blond, "Stop, you bastard! Didn't you hear that the boss ordered us not to set foot on this is-" Abbacchio was next to Giorno in an instant having a hand firmly planted on the blonds shoulder. "...land?"

Finding that you were also now back on the island you figured Giorno could cover for you since the both of you were almost always on the same wavelength.

"Hey! Wait! (Y/N) you can't go in there!" Catching sight of you sprinting towards the buildings entrance, no words left you in response as you just B-lined into the building. The pull o your stand guided you through the corridors and occasionally you noticed you were in a different place than before.

It was like time was skipping.

Pushing yourself to more even faster you skidded to a stop before a foyer looking area, the sound of a zipper opening right away caught your attention followed by a section of the floor opening up and both Bruno and Trish rolled out.

"Holy shit!" Your eyes widened at the sight of his injuries and you were beside him in a heartbeat, the butterfly you'd sent in with the two glowed brightly having planted itself on the slash in his shoulder. "Bruno you've gotta stay conscious, I'll fix you right up no problem!" Seeing that his sapphire hues were unfocused yet still moving, you focused your energy into the large hold in the center of his body.

Something you could practically look through.

"G-get Trish...out of here." The man's frail voice caught your attention and you could only shake your head at the request, unknowingly your eyes had begun watering trying your best to fix him up as quickly as possible.

"N-No, not without you!" Insisting that you could see the inner workings of your stand circling the inside of the wound, it was closing but at a slow rate and you could see the light behind Bruno's eyes begin diminishing. "I'm not leaving without you! You idiot! Who's going to travel with me?! I thought that was going to be you?!" Clenching your jaw and yelling that the barrier holding back the waterworks broke and droplets of the clear liquid trailed down your face.

"You're not dying here, because if you did then I wouldn't be able to call myself a (L/N). You're a strong, brave man and if you can't bounce back from this I'll drag your ass back myself!" Though having added that your mind was clouded with doubt, it was taking too long for you to close up the wound though when you heard nearing footsteps your hopes raised. Blond hair quickly came into view and without a word Golden Experience was by your side fully fixing the man's injuries that you'd been trying to patch up yourself. Giorno had moved off towards where Sticky Fingers zipper was looking in for anything or anyone.

Staring at the ebony haired man unmoving you began to think the words had happened, but much to your relief his eyes opened back up. Their usual oceanic hues meeting with your (E/C) ones before veering off to spare a quick glance towards the blond. "(Y/N), Giorno...as much as I want to thank you both right now, we need to get out of this church!"

Right away you began helping the ebony haired man to his feet while Giorno moved, lifting Trish off the ground.

"We can't figure out who the boss actually is right now. We need to get out of here! While we're still far enough from him!" Exclaiming all that you moved one of Bruno's arms over your shoulder giving him some leverage. "I'll explain later!"

Once more Golden Experience had appeared turning the laptop Giorno had thrown into a fish before reverting it as soon as it made contact with a pillar. The noise right away caught the attention of the others and they came rushing over.

"Hey, Giorno you bastard! Come back here! How are you gonna make up for disobeying orders and stepping onto the island?!"

Watching the group enter the room they all stared at the four of you, Narancia spoke pointing towards Bruno. "H-How the hell did you get so injured?!"

"Why do you still have Trish with you?!" Calling that out as well Fugo's gaze bounced between everything happening.

"What's going on here Bucciarati?" Wanting an explanation on what was happening Abbacchio merely got a quick response from the Capo. "I'll explain everything later. Right now, we need to get out of here as fast as we can."

Beginning to head out of the building Bruno spoke once more, "Now I understand why the boss is feared by everyone and how he ruled over all of us. We can't defeat the boss...not now. As for his identity...assuming it even has one, we'll need to find his ability's weakness first!"

Making it out of the building Bruno lifted himself off from leaning on you, his gaze traveled towards Giorno watching the man set Trish down into the boat, him following behind. There were so many questions that you wanted to ask, but it seemed like the team already beat you to them.

"What the hell's going on, Bucciarati? We need an explanation. What the hell are you doing?" Voicing that out Abbacchio watched the Capo from the top of the stairs, a hand rested on his hip while the other raised into the air emphasizing each word.

Giorno had stepped back up the stairs taking the spot beside you, everyone now seemed to be staring down at the Capo waiting for whatever he had to say. Turning in place from where he stood Bruno took a deep breath addressing the team, "All right. I'll just come out and say it. But I can't explain everything right now, because there's no time and danger's right around the corner."

Taking a step up the stairs he halted, "The reason I brought Trish back is because I betrayed the boss just now." A shocked gasp left the group upon hearing this, "I'll be leaving you guys now. If you go with me, you will also become traitors."

"Wait, betrayed the boss? I don't understand what happened in there?" Asking that you bit the inside of your cheek anxiously, trying to piece things together in your head didn't really help and that just led to you tapping your foot against the ground as well.
