Tiger & Bunny fic: Safekeeping (pt. 1)

Title: Safekeeping
(1/3)
Pairing: Kotetsu/Barnaby
Summary: Some time after Lunatic has been apprehended, a NEXT scientist makes a troubling discovery about the extent of Yuri Petrov's powers. Kotetsu handles it all considerably well. Barnaby really doesn't.
Author's note (on spoilers): This has a speculative plot element I've thought about since ep. 16 that probably will never be canon, but it's compliant with the entire series and contains a few spoilers.
Overall Rating: M?

( The year was NC 1980, Barnaby had just turned 27, and Kotetsu was down to twelve seconds. )
