"Traitor" is back, everyone! After a long break from this story I was very excited to write about, it's finally going to kick into another gear with some more insight into the story behind All Might's work with the Omni Force. That also includes Widowmaker's betrayal and what has happened since.
As you've probably seen though, the forum's been re-uploaded! Yeah, I mulled it over and thought to delete the original Omni Force forum, but worry not, it is back! Somewhat… I have made a few changes and I am trying to be stricter about questions I get that don't relate to anything surrounding the stories. But please feel free to go check it out! The link is up in my profile page for those that need to look for it.
In the meantime, let's get back into it! This is the second chapter of "Traitor"!
TRAITOR
After about ten minutes had gone by, the teachers had helped get the injured students to Recovery Girl's office, setting them down onto beds as they were still pained from the bullets they had been struck by. The rest of Class 1-A was advised to wait in the dormitory lobby, where most of them were still shaken up from the events that conspired. Shoto, Eijiro, and Alice had mysteriously disappeared from the group as they sat around silently, not saying a single word.
"Can you believe this?" Raya questioned, causing everyone to perk up as they had heard her, "I mean… we were just talking about this in class, and-"
"Sweetie, it's over now," her girlfriend interjected, embracing her lovingly as she was somewhat shaken from what happened herself, "We're okay…" she added in a reassuring manner.
"What was she and that other guy even after?" Mashirao asked, getting the others' attentions.
"Who knows…" Tenya responded, folding his arms over his chest, "Perhaps the teachers will figure it out…" he concurred, narrowing his eyes.
"How are they gonna explain all this to the media?" Toru wondered.
"If they do, they'll be in hot water again…" Fumikage replied as he leaned against the wall beside some bits of shattered glass still on the floor.
"A cover-up might not be that easy…" Tsuyu mentioned while putting her right index finger up to her cheek, "Plus, there's all the other students here on the grounds that heard the attack," she pointed out worriedly.
"This is becoming a maddening problem…" the Dark Shadow Quirk user commented.
"The teachers should find a way to handle everything," Minoru chimed, folding his arms behind his head as he sat upon the plush surface of the couch, "They handled that whole mess with Bakugo pretty well, didn't they?" he inquired to the group.
"Yeah, but…" Mina tried to reply, only to stop as she saw Eijiro jog into the room.
"Sorry I took off, you guys…" he apologized, "Bakugo was tryin' to convince me he was fine and-" His sentence was stopped at the moment the pink skinned girl ran up and hugged him comfortingly, struggling to hold in her sobs as her lips were quivering. He was admittedly surprised at first, but gave way and hugged her back. In the meantime, Izuku let his fists tremble out of frustration as he sat down on the couch, wondering why this incident had happened.
"Huh…" Shota sighed from elsewhere, standing outside the nurse's office with Midnight, Present Mic, Snipe, Thirteen, All Might, and Nezu.
"Recovery Girl has said that the bullets didn't penetrate any vital organs for any of the students," the female of the group told the others, causing most of them to breathe out sighs of relief.
"We need to put the whole school on lockdown," the Homing Quirk user stated suddenly, catching their attentions.
"And cause another panic?!" the famed space hero exclaimed in response, "No way!" he argued with a wave of his right arm.
"Now, now..." the former professional repeated, getting in between the two, "we need to think this over for a moment," he advised.
"The media will be all over our ass again if word of this gets out," the unkempt teacher added, folding his arms over his chest.
"Might have something to do with that traitor in our midst…" the Voice Quirk user muttered, catching the attention of the woman standing near him.
"Are you still on about that?!" she asked threateningly, grabbing him by his leather jacket as he yelped in surprise, "There's no proof any of the students brought those mercenaries here!" she shouted.
"C-Calm down, Kayama…" Toshinori stammered, evidently conflicted as to what he should do with tensions building to his left and right.
"That's quite enough, everyone!" the High Specs Quirk user suddenly shouted, causing everyone to immediately silence themselves and turn their attention onto him, "Now…" he began, clearing his throat, "I think the first thing we need to do is to reassure the students of their safety," he stated calmly, "I know this may seem difficult," he admitted, glancing down at the floor, "but they need someone to let them know that things will be all right since the threat has passed," he finished.
"I'll go," the man known as Eraserhead responded, trotting off, "Besides, once they hear that their classmates are gonna be okay, they'll be glad that it wasn't worse," he mentioned.
"Sure knows how to lighten the mood…" Mic grumbled, earning himself an elbowing from Midnight.
"As for Widowmaker, I have a feeling her attack on the students was merely a diversion," the principal noted, causing the others to perk up in surprise, especially All Might.
"Wh-What do you mean, sir?" he stammered in question.
"I had Cementoss check the data storage unit in the lower levels of the facility," the mouse-like man replied with his arms behind his back, "Power Loader was there as well," he mentioned, taking something out from his pocket, "Someone hacked into our systems," he said, holding out a USB drive. The former professional hero narrowed his eyes onto it, noticing the purple skull upon it in a festive, Mexican-like design.
"Sombra…" he muttered in realization.
"It seems Talon is making a move against U.A. High," the High Specs Quirk user concluded, putting the storage device back into the pocket of his vest, "Therefore, we should be on high alert in case they return," he declared.
"Yes, sir!" everyone else agreed. The skinny man in the hall stayed behind as his fellow faculty members trotted off, clenching his fists in frustration.
'I need to find young Midoriya…' he told himself, walking away in the opposite direction. Back in the dormitory lounge, silence was prevalent as Izuku clutched his knees with a contorted expression upon his face.
"Deku?" Ochaco's voice chimed in, causing him to perk up and see her and Natalie in front of him, "Are you… okay?" she asked him worriedly.
"Hm…" he hummed as he glanced back down, "I… don't know… exactly…." he slowly confessed, "This was different than the training camp…" he mentioned, catching the attentions of the others as they looked over at him, "Those guys… they were… ready to kill anyone that stood in their way…" he managed to say, gritting his teeth in frustration, "Shoji, Yaoyorozu, Sato, Kaminari, and Kacchan…" he listed off, "I wish we could've-!"
"There's nothing you could've done in a situation like that," their teacher interrupted, causing the students to all turn and see him approach.
"Mister Aizawa!" Tenya exclaimed as he quickly ran over, "Are Bakugo and the others all right?!" he asked immediately in concern.
"Relax, they'll all be fine," he reassured as a response, causing the others to all breathe out sighs of relief, "Once the bullets are removed from their bodies, Recovery Girl shouldn't have any problem healing their wounds," he told them.
"That's good news…" Kyoka noted, sounding overwhelmed as well by all that was happening.
"Mister Aizawa?" Tsuyu chimed in, catching the attention of the Erasure Quirk user, "What's gonna happen with classes tomorrow?" she asked out of concern.
"Obviously, there'll be none until we can figure this whole situation out," he replied, stuffing his hands into his pockets, "Besides, I'm sure a lot of you are still a little scared from what went down," he mentioned as they all grimaced slightly, "Get some rest for tomorrow, and we'll to pick things up the day after," he advised, starting to trot off, "And no word about this to anyone," he added, much to their shock as their eyes widened, "We've already had enough problems as of late…" he grumbled as he headed out.
"Guess… that means we're good… right?" Eijiro questioned to his classmates, who were still silent in astonishment from their teacher's words.
"Come on," Natalie beckoned, getting their attentions, "Let's get to bed and remember that our friends are gonna be okay," she mentioned, waving for them to follow her.
"Nat…" Rachael uttered, surprised by her demeanor. However, she and most of the others went off soon afterwards, leaving only Tenya, Ochaco, and Izuku behind.
"We should try to get some sleep…" the former of the trio concurred, glancing over at the unkempt haired boy near him. His expression still showed apparent frustration, making him blink in surprise.
"Deku…" the girl there uttered worriedly, having noticed as well. What neither of them did see was that the dragon slayer had stopped her trek to look back at them, evidently concerned for her rival as she frowned.
"Young Midoriya?" a familiar voice chimed in, causing them to all perk up as they saw All Might walk into the lounge.
"A-All Might!" his successor stuttered in surprise, "Wh-What are you-?" He interjected himself as he saw the man raise his right hand, enticing him to stop talking for a moment.
"I need to speak with you in private," he stated, much to his and the others' surprise.
EPISODE I PART II
"Huh…?" Momo uttered as she awoke groggily, moving her head slightly to notice that she was in the nurse's office upon a soft divan, "What happ- AH!" she yelped in pain as she tried to sit up, grimacing with clenched teeth.
"Now lie down, dearie," the voice of Recovery Girl advised, catching her attention as she saw her approach, "That wound you got was a real pain to take care of compared to the others," she mentioned.
"O-Others?" the Creation Quirk user stuttered in confusion, glancing around to see the sleeping forms of Mezo, Rikido, and Denki all in their own beds, "Oh no…" she uttered, frustrated as she bit her bottom lip.
"Take it easy, Yaoyorozu," another voice chimed in, making her perk up as she saw Shoto approach her with a cup of water in hand, "You're all going to be fine," he promised, giving her the drink.
"Thank you, Todoroki," she responded in gratitude, taking a sip. She then took notice of the bandage over her abdomen as her shirt was pulled up slightly, seeing that it was still stained in red. "Why hasn't my wound been healed yet?" she asked curiously.
"After such a late night, I'm sure all of you are still tuckered out," the practitioner pointed out as she approached her, "I had to surgically remove the bullets from you before I could even think of healing your wounds," she explained, taking hold of a metal tray off of a small table and showing it to her. Within it were four bullets that were red with blood, including the sharp one she had been hit by.
"And the villains?" she continued out of curiosity.
"Gone," the Half-Cold, Half-Hot Quirk user responded, looking over at his injured classmates, "It seems as if they had a different objective aside from attacking us as a distraction…" he mentioned while narrowing his eyes.
"Todoroki…" the class deputy uttered worriedly, seeing the apparent frustration on his face.
"Now lie down and rest!" the old woman demanded, "I'll take care of your wound and the others' first thing in the morning, all right?" she told the ponytailed girl.
"Yeah…" she responded with a simple nod, setting herself down onto the pillow, "Todoroki?" she said, catching her friend's attention as he saw her smile at him, "Thanks for protecting us back there," she stated in gratitude. He was somewhat astonished by her words, knowing that she had been injured, while he stayed behind and watched it happen.
"Yaoyorozu…" he uttered, while his fists trembled for a moment. He then went over and took the cup from her hand, setting it onto the table. Afterwards, he grasped her extremity with his own, caressing it by using his fingers and making her blush a bright red. "I promise… we'll get those guys back for what they did," he declared, making her eyes shake out of surprise.
"Y-Yeah…" she stammered in agreement. He then let go of her, heading out as he slid the door open and went through it. She closed her eyes once he had left, sighing deeply and somewhat lovingly.
"JUST TAKE THE DAMN THING OUT ALREADY!" Katsuki's voice boomed from afar, causing her and her injured classmates to all immediately jerk open their eyes, shocked by the noise. In a separate area of the office at another bed, Alice was tending to the wound he received upon his arm, carefully forming a small tendril of water from her fingers that was aimed towards the opening as she kneeled in front of him. "Hurry the hell up!" the Explosion Quirk user demanded angrily, making her flinch suddenly, "I can't keep waiting around like this for you to take out one stupid bullet!" he yelled.
"Mind yourself, Katsuki!" the water and ice mage shouted back as a retort, "I'm not exactly a surgeon, let alone Recovery Girl for that matter…" she mentioned with a roll of her eyes.
"I don't care who you are if you can get the thing out!" he roared, "So just do it!" he commanded as a fierce look was in his eyes.
"Don't you at least want some anesthetic first?" the Fullbuster girl inquired out of concern.
"Are you deaf?!" he questioned back rhetorically, "I SAID GET THE THING O-!" Before he could yell another word, his classmate plunged her tendril into his wound and instantly pulled out the bullet lodged within it. "AAAAAAAHHHH!" he screamed in agony, shaking as the girl carefully dropped the ammunition into a metal tray with the sound of a plink.
"Huh…" she breathed out in relief and exasperation. A few moments later, she was stitching up his wound with a few more watery tendrils from her right hand while using her left to cool his arm. His expression was much calmer than earlier, looking over at the girl as she continued to sew his skin together. After one last stitch, she cut the string by forming her index finger into a sharp claw of ice, slicing it off.
"Finally," the spiky haired teen muttered, lifting his arm slightly until it was grabbed by the girl next to him, enticing to glare over at her.
"You'll still need bandages," she noted, making him scoff angrily. As she reformed her hands and went over to the cabinets beside the divan to find a roll of gauze, he stared over at her, taking notice of the pact that she merely had on a sports bra and sweatpants with a pair of sneakers over her bare feet. "Here we are," she said once she found the bandages, going back over to her classmate.
"Goin' commando again, huh?" he inquired to her with a somewhat devious smirk, causing her to suddenly gasp and blush.
"Sh-Shut up!" she whispered in a stutter to him angrily, "You can be just as bad as Minoru sometimes…" she muttered out of frustration, wrapping the bandages around his arm.
"It's a stupid habit, right?" he guessed, making her perk up in surprise, "Just like jumping in to save someone's dumb ass…" he grumbled as he glanced away. She merely smiled at the meaning behind his words, continuing to cover his arm.
"Your tendencies aren't all that bad, Katsuki," she pointed out, "Aside from strength, you and Yang share restraint," she told him, causing him to arch an eyebrow.
"When the hell have I ever held back?" he asked back as she chuckled.
"With me for starters," she replied, making him suddenly blush in surprise, "and your classmates, too," she added, finishing her work as ripped off the bandage from the roll, using an adhesive strip of gauze to keep in together, "Even if you've had issues with them in the past, you pretty much acknowledge everyone now," she mentioned, placing her left hand onto his shoulder, "I think that shows how you've grown," she stated with a smile.
"Hm…" Katsuki hummed, standing up from the bed and stuffing his hands into his pockets, "Yeah, whatever," he muttered, walking off.
"Hey, where are you going?" Alice questioned out of concern, "You should try to get some rest!" she advised seriously.
"I'll worry about sleep after I talk to Deku," he responded, making her blink in surprise as she saw him leave the room.
X
Silence filled the air as the teachers' lounge as Izuku was upon a chair, sitting in front of his mentor at the coffee table as he was upon the couch. They stared at each other for what felt like an eternity, with the student clutching his pajama pants tightly.
"All Might…" he finally began, steeling himself as he took a deep breath, "you… overhead what I told Togata, didn't you?" he inquired to him. The former number one hero remained stoic, narrowing his eyes slightly onto his successor. "I know… that you said I was worthy of One For All…" he continued, trembling as he bit his bottom lip, "It's just… he lost his Quirk… and his mentor…" he listed off, tearing up a little, "He had such a heavy burden from all that, so I-!"
"I've told you time and time again to stop being such a crybaby, haven't I?" the blonde and unkempt haired man interrupted, making him perk up, "I understood your feelings back then," he stated as he widened his eyes in disbelief, "But young Togata was right," he pointed out, "You would have subjected yourself to a hardship worse than his and wouldn't be the hero you're aiming to become," he explained, seeing his lips quiver, "Just as he said, you were the hero who took down Chisaki and saved that girl," he added with a grin, "As painstaking as it was to see Nighteye on his deathbed," he kept going, "seeing him smile in the end was wonderful…" he admitted, clenching his fists as they rested over his knees.
"But…" the freckled teen started to respond, "I gave into my guilt and went behind your back…" he noted, gritting his teeth, "I don't have the right to be your successor for something like that!" he choked out, letting a few tears fall from his eyes.
"Midoriya, it's not just One For All that you're worthy of," Toshinori pointed out, causing him to lift his head slightly, "That resolve you had to save lives, to help people in need…" he listed off to him, "Why do you think young Tennyson decided to intern alongside you?" he questioned, making him blink in surprise. During her fallout when meeting the top three seniors of U.A., Raya had chosen to pursue the same path as Izuku and work with him at the office of All Might's former sidekick. It had sometimes crossed his mind as to why she was there rather than somewhere else.
"She wanted to become the kind of hero people can depend on…" he said as his tears were drying up, "The kind that can fight on the frontlines and give support to others…" he added.
"You're an inspiration these days, Midoriya," his mentor stated as he gasped lightly, "If it hadn't been for you, young Tennyson may have never found the courage to push herself further and grow," he explained to him, "while also rekindling her personal relationships," he mentioned, "You are the hero, Midoriya," he said with a smile, "and I am proud of you," he added.
"Thanks, All Might…" the freckled boy replied in gratitude, starting to stand up.
"Now to the issue at hand…" the former professional hero suddenly began, causing him to stop out of surprise.
'Wait, issue at hand?' he questioned to himself in confusion, sitting back down.
"I assume you have some questions for me about Widowmaker, right?" the blonde haired man asked, noticing him instantly tense up.
"Y-Yeah…" he stuttered in reply, "For starters…" he continued, "was she really ever an agent of Overwatch?" he asked, sweating a little.
"No, she wasn't," the man answered, "but she had been married to a head member of the task force," he mentioned, causing him to blink in surprise.
"Had been?" he uttered out of confusion, "Hold on, what does that mean?" he asked, evidently perplexed.
"Huh…" his mentor sighed, rubbing his right hand through his hair, "I'll start from the beginning," he said, standing up and trotting over to the windows, "Her real name is Amélie Lacroix," he told him, "She and I met over thirteen years ago, back when the Omni Force was yet to be completed," he explained, scratching his right cheek with his index finger, "At the time, I had only one member left to put onto my squadron," he continued, "and Ben Tennyson was pressing for me to find someone quickly," he stated, much to his successor's surprise.
"So… you picked Widowmaker without thinking?" he inquired to him with an arched eyebrow.
"Of course not!" he responded loudly, sputtering blood at the same time as he turned to face him, "I had learned about her history well before we met," he said, "After we were better acquainted, she joined," he finished, looking back through the window at the night sky littered with clouds.
"Did… the Overwatch agents on the Omni Force know about her?" Izuku questioned on curiously.
"At the time, no," All Might replied, putting his hands together behind his back, "They assumed she was recovering and didn't see the need to check in on her," he explained, "Plus, it seemed to them that she was just another Omni Force member hiding behind a mask," he added as the freckled teen tensed up again and clenched his fists.
"When did you… learn the truth?" he asked with a gulp. A moment of silence filled the air of the room as the former professional hero sighed deeply.
"Do you know of Overwatch's most precise sniper, Ana Amari?" he inquired back, causing him to blink in surprise for a moment.
"Y-Yeah…" he stuttered as an answer, "She was a former second-in-command who was said to be killed by a Talon agent during an operation to save hostages…" he recalled, placing his hand onto his chin in thought before gasping with widened eyes, "Don't tell me…!" he started to realize.
"Yes, it was Amélie," his mentor interjected as he simply nodded, "After I found out, I decided that the best course of action was to confront her myself," he told him, "but it led to me getting shot in my right arm as she escaped…" he confessed, clenching both his fists and teeth, "After that, I had gotten caught up with my battle against All For One and was left weakened to the point of having to find someone to inherit my power…" he explained, "To think that she'd come back to attack you and the students…!" he growled angrily.
"All Might…" his successor uttered with trembling eyes, somewhat shocked by his demeanor, but then developed a serious question as he recalled another question that had crossed his mind, "What did you mean when you said she was… recovering?" he asked, making him perk up.
"Amélie had married a man named Gérard many years ago," he began to answer, "He was an Overwatch agent spearheading operations against Talon," he explained, going over to him, "Though they were unsuccessful in eliminating him at first, they decided to target Amélie instead to get to him," he told the teen, who shook a little out of astonishment.
"So that must mean Talon had…" he started to realize, clutching his pajama pants.
"They turned her into a weapon for their own purposes," Toshinori stated, "molding her through neural reconditioning, reprogramming, and suppressing her emotions," he listed off as he too was tensing up from speaking of her upbringing, "Two weeks after she was recovered from her kidnapping, she murdered her husband in his sleep," he told the student, whose eyes widened in disbelief, "After that, she returned to Talon and became the emotionless assassin known as Widowmaker," he finished, glancing off to the side ashamedly, "I wish I had known everything from the start," he confessed, "That way… I could've put an end to this before it even happened," he stated, shaking a little.
"There was no way you could've known, right?" his successor inquired as he stood up immediately, "I mean… her MPG was made untraceable and…" he tried to continue, stopping as he saw the former number one hero sit back down on the couch.
"Widowmaker placed a heavy burden on not just myself, but Overwatch as well," he noted, putting both of his hands against his head, "Now it's become something I can no longer control…" he added.
"And left up to me?" Izuku chimed in, causing him to perk up slightly.
"Midoriya…" All Might uttered, "I can't let you bear my burdens, especially this one," he said firmly.
"But I'm your successor!" the freckled teen shouted back in response, much to his surprise, "And besides…" he kept going, clenching his fists, "the longer she's out there working for Talon, the more trouble the world…" he continued, stopping for a second "the whole multiverse will be in!" he exclaimed in correction.
"I've told you before that not every person in the world can be saved," his mentor replied, sounding despondent from the couch he sat upon, "In the end, Widowmaker was my failure as both a squadron leader and as a hero," he stated in frustration, gritting his teeth.
"All Might…" the greenish haired teen uttered, astonished by his demeanor.
"Shut the door on your way out," he advised to him, enticing him to leave. As he walked up to the access and slid it open, he took one last look at Toshinori worriedly, seeing him remain quiet as he exited.
"Huh…" he sighed after shutting the door behind him, glancing at the floor somberly.
'He's right…' he inwardly realized, holding out his hands, 'If he wasn't able to stop her back then… what can I do?' he wondered to himself, letting out another sigh.
"Deku," a familiar voice chimed in, causing him to perk up as he recognized it. He turned to see Katsuki trotting towards him with an abnormally relaxed look upon his face.
"K-Kacchan!" he stammered in surprise, noticing the bandages over his right arm, "Um, shouldn't you need a sling?" he inquired to him.
"The stripper took out the damn bullet for me and got it all stitched up, so I don't need it," he responded, narrowing his eyes onto him, "Besides, the old lady'll get it healed tomorrow," he mentioned.
"Oh, that's good…" his rival noted as he nervously rubbed the back of his head.
"That bitch was after you, idiot," the Explosion Quirk user pointed out, making him perk up suddenly out of shock.
"Wh-What?" he stuttered in question, thinking he had misheard him.
"Widowbitch was going to kill you," he replied bluntly, making him blink in astonishment.
"I-I don't think she was planning on doing that…" he stuttered out as a response, glancing off to the side, "It just seemed like she and Reaper were toying with us while someone else-"
"Do you really think someone like her would act as a distraction?" the spiky haired teen rhetorically asked, interjecting his sentence, "If she was really on All Might's team, then she probably knows about the power he has," he explained, causing Izuku to tense up in realization, "Just thought I'd let you know since you'd probably be too stupid to figure it out," he finished, trotting off past him.
"Wait a sec, Kacchan…" he said, making him stop for a moment to look back at him, "What would she even gain by killing me?" he questioned as he turned to face his classmate.
"Probably a bounty or somethin'," he answered, walking away, "You better not get yourself killed if you wanna get better than me," he advised seriously.
"Kacchan…" the freckled teen uttered, looking at his arms. Over his time at U.A., he sustained several injuries, some worse than others as scars aligned his arms and his crooked right hand. Because of the power he received as a gift from his mentor, he was able to attend the school of his dreams, but it became a burden on himself as he kept breaking his bones to strive towards mastering control. Now the burden of his power was shifting towards his friends, as he remembered the ones who were shot earlier in the evening.
'If… Kacchan's right… then…' he started to realize, developing a very somber expression upon his face.
"Excuse me," a feminine voice with a Swiss accent chimed in, catching his attention as he looked to see a woman approach him, dressed in a white lab coat over a dark turquoise turtleneck sweater and a black dress skirt with dark stockings and high heels. Her hair was a light blonde in a messy ponytail, as it parted over the right side of her face. In her hands was what appeared to be a tablet as she leaned towards the aspiring hero. "Would you happen to know where I could find All Might?" she asked him.
"Oh, uh, he's right in there…" he stuttered in reply, pointing towards the sliding door beside them.
"Thank you," she responded in gratitude, heading over to it. As she did, Izuku stared at her in wonder.
'I feel like… I know her from somewhere…' he admitted to himself, disregarding it though as he walked off into the hallway. The door to the teachers' lounge slid open, catching the attention of the former professional hero as he sighed deeply.
"Midoriya, please-"
"Seems like you've been having quite a bit of trouble lately, Toshinori," the feminine voice interrupted, causing him to instantly perk up and widen his eyes to see the woman who had entered, letting his mouth gape open out of shock.
"A-Angela?!" he stammered, spurting out blood from his mouth. She giggled, taking a seat in front of him at the coffee table, crossing her legs as she set her tablet down onto the right one.
"I think it's time we talked… about Amélie," she stated, making him tense up as he glanced down in frustration.
"Aizawa messaged you, didn't he?" he guessed, letting his hands rest upon his knees.
"Don't blame your fellow faculty for making me bring this back up to you," the doctor retorted in reply, "I only came because I knew you established a connection with her," she told him seriously, setting her device down onto the tabletop, "Winston and I have been working on locating Talon's base of operations for weeks now, so it's telling that they've come here," she noted.
"To promote that insane ideology onto our world…" the Omni Force squadron leader realized as he glanced down for a moment, "Angela, you know I can't help you," he pointed out to her.
"And the same goes for Shota, I know," she added as a response, "That's why I asked him if he could have his students come on a 'field trip' of sorts with us…" she told him, causing him to blink out of confusion.
"To your world?" he inquired, "Aren't you still in the middle of the second Omnic Crisis out in Russia?" he implied, making her glance away for a moment, "And Overwatch is still disbanded from what I've gathered…" he pointed out as he narrowed his eyes onto her.
"Winston made the recall and brought most, if not a few more faces back," she mentioned, pressing a few icons on the tablet to allow him access to the database of the task force's members upon the screen, as he lifted it off of the tabletop to view it.
"Lena, Jesse, Reinhardt..." he started to list off, widening his eyes at the sight of a few specific names, "Ana and Jack?!" he exclaimed in shock, "But I thought they were-!"
"I can fill you in on all the details when you come back with us to headquarters," Angela interjected, making him perk up, "We've rebuilt a new base in Switzerland," she pointed out, taking her device back from him.
"Angela, I'm not an Omni Force member anymore," he noted ashamedly, "And even if I still was, what good would I be?" he asked her.
"You could provide us insight into Amélie's mannerisms or tendencies before you discovered her true intentions," she explained as a reply, while he stood up from his seat, "That way, we may be able to narrow down…" she continued, only to stop as she saw him head towards the sliding door.
"This 'field trip'…" he started to question, "will the students be under Overwatch's care?" he inquired.
"You have my word," the doctor answered as she simply nodded, "We will do our best to make sure none of them get hurt," she added seriously.
"Good," All Might responded, leaving the room afterwards. A few moments later, he arrived at the roof of the main building, letting the wind sway through his unkempt and messy hair. "I was always the kind of hero people could look up to when things were bleak…" he muttered to himself, looking at the palms of his hands, "Now that it's come to this, I don't know what I even can do…" he admitted, clenching his teeth in frustration.
"Contemplating, Toshinori?" a familiar voice chimed in, causing him to gasp in shock as he immediately recognized the accent, "That wasn't like you in the past…" she noted. He turned to see the infamous assassin there sitting atop the entryway back into the building.
"Amélie…" he uttered, seeing her stand up and glance down at him with a smirk upon her face, "is Akande that insistent on starting a war in another world?" he questioned as he clenched his fists.
"Hmph," she scoffed, hopping down in front of him, "Don't you think this world is need of an evolution after you?" she inquired to the former professional as she trotted around him, "Powers that cultivate and grow like yours…" she pointed out with a sly grin, "They can grow even stronger through conflict and battle," she told him.
"That twisted ideology of Talon's is exactly why I fought with Overwatch against them!" he retorted angrily.
"And yet, you could have defeated us had it not been for All For One…" Widowmaker mentioned, making him grimace in realization as his extremities trembled, "Well… you were bound to lose anyways," she concurred, pulling out her MPG from her holster, "A war is going to start here, Toshinori," she stated as she activated the device, creating a green portal that formed in front of her, "and your successor will be at its epicenter," she declared. Her words brought a look of disbelief onto the Omni Force squadron leader's face, making her smirk as she made her exit. "Adieu, chérie," she said in farewell, going into the vortex as it disappeared seconds later. Frustration, rage, and anguish were all apparent upon the face of the former professional hero, as he knew that his old colleague's group was now after the one he was cultivating.
'Midoriya…!' he uttered inwardly, trembling angrily as the stars continued to shine in the midnight sky.

The next morning, the 1-A students aside from Mezo, Momo, Rikido, and Denki were gathered just outside of their dormitory and dressed in their day clothes, standing together in front of their teacher.
"All right, listen up," he began to them, "after last night's fiasco, today's a day off for all of you," he told the group as they listened carefully, "You should stay on campus," he kept going, "but if you'd like, you can head home so long as I know beforehand," he mentioned to them.
"Boy, this turned into a big mess…" Jiro whispered to her classmates.
"It's bad enough that they have to cover for the school's sake," Mina added quietly with a somber expression upon her face.
"What's worse is that some of our classmates got caught in the crossfire…" Mashirao pointed out, evidently frustrated as he clenched his right fist. As everyone was talking amongst each other about what to do, Izuku tensed up, still thinking of the implications of what Katsuki had told him. He glanced over to see him ignoring Hanta and Eijiro asking about his injury.
"Deku?" Ochaco's voice chimed in, catching his attention as he turned to see her approach him, "Are you gonna be heading back home for the day?" she wondered, pulling out her notebook, "'Cause… I could really use a study partner…" she confessed with a sheepish grin and blush. Her friend took a moment to think, glancing down at the ground.
'If… Kacchan is right, then… I shouldn't be here…' he inwardly realized, developing a serious expression as he inhaled a deep breath through his nose, 'At least for today…' he said to himself, exhaling.
"Sorry, Uraraka," he apologized to the girl near him, making her blink in surprise, "I was planning on seeing my mom eventually," he continued, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly, "so what better day to go home than now, right?" he inquired with a chuckle.
"Y-Yeah…" she agreed as she stuttered, seeing him walk over to Shota. The Explosion Quirk was among the other few that took notice as well, seeing the homeroom teacher give his student a nod in approval, allowing for him to go back into the building.
"Midoriya's gonna leave campus?" Minoru questioned, blinking in confusion, "He's the last person I'd expect to leave…" he added with a scratch of his head.
"He does well on his own, so I'm sure there's no ill reason for him to go," Alice pointed out, narrowing her eyes a little, "Although, it is rather odd…" she admitted.
"He's probably just anxious about seeing his mom again…" the Zero Gravity Quirk user mentioned, "So…" she kept going, turning to her classmates, "anyone free to help me study?" she asked in a somewhat begging manner as her eyes sparkled.
"I'm sure I can lend a hand," Tenya responded, going up to her.
"Yeah, let's all study together like we did last night!" Eijiro recommended, receiving several agreements from his classmates. In the meantime, Katsuki, Shoto, Raya, Alice, and Natalie stared back at the dormitory, with the latter wondering what exactly her close friend was doing by leaving the school for the day off. A while passed before Izuku found himself seated on the train heading back home, checking his smartphone for the latest updates on hero activity. Rather than be intrigued or even excited by any news, he was still lost in his guilt for what had happened last night.
'Everyone's gonna be okay…' he noted through thought, 'It's for the best that I'm not there tonight…' he added inwardly, looking out the window as the crowded transport sped towards the station. As the evening hours rolled in later that day, the remaining Class 1-A students still on campus were gathered together in the lounge, all studying together as they were listing out the names of the Omni Force members in their notebooks, helping each other out when they were stuck. The Explosion Quirk user was not among them though, having gone to his room to rest after receiving treatment from Recovery Girl earlier. Once he woke up from his bed though, he grabbed his phone, tapping a few icons before putting it up to his ear, awaiting a response. Elsewhere in the city of Musutafu, the freckled teen had just arrived at the apartment building where his parent lived, about to head in until he felt something vibrate in his pocket.
"Hm?" he uttered in confusion, taking out his phone and tapping the 'answer' icon, "Hello?" he greeted, perplexed as to who would possibly be calling him.
"You're a damn idiot," the voice of his rival responded, causing him to instantly tense up as he recognized him.
"K-K-Kacchan?!" he stammered in shock, "Wh-Why are you calling me?!" he questioned, sweating a little.
"Because you're leaving yourself wide open for those Talon bastards to find ya," the spiky haired teen answered over the call, "I get that you feel like crap, ya moron," he pointed out seriously to him, much to his surprise as he had never expected any show of concern from him, "but we could kill that Widowbitch and her skull-faced boyfriend if they came back to U.A.," he told him.
"Kacchan…" he uttered, clenching his open left fist, "I left tonight for exactly that reason," he stated, "If Talon is after me, then I don't want anyone else getting involved," he explained, regaining his composure, "That includes you," he added.
"Tch," Katsuki scoffed from the other end of the line, "Well don't go blamin' me if you end up dead," he muttered, causing him to pale a little from the thought. With the press of the icon on his phone, the Explosion Quirk user ended the conversation, setting his phone down onto the dresser beside him as he sat up. Just then, he heard a knock at his door.
"Bakugo, you wanna come study with us?!" the loud voice of Eijiro asked from outside the room, "We're gonna try and do a challenge to see who names the most Omni Force members!" he exclaimed rather excitedly.
"All right, all right…" his classmate grumbled repeatedly as he got up, grabbing a notebook and a pencil. He was about to leave until he took one last glance at his phone, letting out a sigh before exiting. Izuku went up to the door of his family apartment, seeing his last name printed upon it.
'Been a while since I was here…' he realized, knocking the access twice. It was then pulled open, revealing his mother there in a light pink sweater and a blue skirt.
"Izuku?" she uttered in surprise with wide eyes, seeing him grin.
"Hey mom," he greeted warmly. His parent teared up before embracing him with all her might, bawling up out of joy all the while. Later that evening as the sun had completely set and the stars shined in the sky, the two greenish haired family members were both enjoying pork cutlet bowls with sides of white rice at the dinner table.
"When I heard about you being a part of that rescue mission, you wouldn't believe how worried I got!" the older of the two pointed out, catching her son's attention, "I was worried that you'd end getting yourself hurt again just like back at the training camp…" she mentioned out of worry.
"Heh…" the aspiring hero laughed in remembrance, "Yeah," he agreed, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.
"But then you ended up saving that poor little girl!" Inko exclaimed, "Izuku, I'm so proud of the hero you're becoming!" she added happily.
"Mom, if you keep saying that, you'll be my only fan," the freckled teen jokingly mentioned, causing them to both laugh. Once they both finished their dinner, the mother went ahead and started washing dishes, while the boy dried them up by rubbing them with a towel.
'Though it's only for a night, I'm glad to be back…' he inwardly admitted, setting the dishes carefully down beside the sink after he had finished drying them.
"I'm gonna go study in my room," he told his parent, catching her attention as she saw him grab his bright yellow backpack and head towards the door with his name labeled upon a piece of All Might memorabilia.
"Oh, Izuku!" she yelped, making him stop for a moment, "I'm so sorry about what happened to your employer…" she apologized, causing him to widen his eyes as he understood that she was talking about Nighteye.
"It's fine, mom," he responded reassuringly afterwards with a smile, going into his room. Inko blinked in surprise from his words before grinning herself, glad that her son was moving on well from the incident. Later on as it grew dark outside and she had gone to bed, the aspiring hero was sitting at his desk with just the lamp on it illuminating the area, writing in his notebook furiously as he was listing down all of the Omni Force members. He had gotten through all six squadrons without an error and was almost done with the seventh.
'Sora, Simon, Edward Elric, and… Widowmaker…' he listed off to himself, pausing as he finished writing the seventieth member's name into his notebook. He then put his pencil down and turned the lamp off, heading over to his bed. 'I know the rest of the members' names by heart…' he noted through thought, 'After her, there's Mercy, then-' He stopped his inward train of thought as he widened his eyes in realization. 'That was her back at U.A. last night!' he recalled, unable to had recognized her appearance from before without her famous Valkyrie suit, 'Mister Aizawa or All Might must've gotten in contact with her about the attack…' he noted to himself, lying down upon his divan, 'Does that mean Overwatch members might be working with U.A.?' he wondered, shutting his eyes, 'I shouldn't overthink this…' he concurred through his thoughts, letting out a long yawn before falling fast asleep. Late into the night, the freckled teen remained snoozing silently as a trail of drool left his lips. All of a sudden, a loud thud emanated from outside his room, causing him to instantly awaken as he heard it.
"Mom?" he uttered, getting out of his bed and putting on his red sneakers. He also grabbed his green robe and let his arms go through the sleeves before opening his door, walking into the dark hallway. "H-Hello?" he stammered, walking into the living room to see no one in sight. He then saw that the sliding door out onto the veranda was open, narrowing his eyes onto it in suspicion.
'Did mom forget to close it?' he wondered inwardly, walking towards it. However, his eyes caught the presence of a figure lurking right at the door to his room in a squatted position, noticing the blue luminosity coming off of its chest.
"Hey-!" His yelled was cut off when the figure suddenly sped over in a blue light, grabbing him and yanking him out of the apartment in an instant through the open veranda door. All the while, Inko was fast asleep in her own bed, having not heard a single sound. "AAAAAHHHH!" her son shrieked loudly from outside as he could see himself moving so fast along the street his kidnapper had taken him down, being immersed in a blue light.
'Oh man, Kacchan was right!' he inwardly exclaimed in fright as he grimaced, 'I sure am glad I didn't stay at U.A.,' he admitted to himself, 'but now I've ended up right in Talon's clutches!' he realized frightfully. However, he regained his composure readying his left fist as a reddish energy built up throughout his body, much like blood vessels as they sparked with green electricity. He then swung his arm down and struck the person in the back.
"Whoa!" she yelped, tumbling forward and dropping Izuku as he somersaulted over the pavement before coming to a stop. He quickly turned back to see the feminine figure with the light shining off of her chest stand back up, appearing to ready a pair of pulse pistols in her hands that came out from what looked like a set of armored compartments on her arms.
"Ah!" he gasped, quickly dashing away as the person fired onto him rapidly, narrowly avoiding the shots as he ducked into an alleyway. Jumping from wall to wall, he landed upon the roof of one, hiding himself behind the door structure as he took the chance to catch his breath.
'Shoot…' he muttered through thought, 'If I was careful enough, I would've made sure my phone was on me right now!' he exclaimed inwardly, glancing around for any sight of his kidnapper, 'There's definitely gotta be pro around on night patrol…' he told himself, slowly sneaking around the structure in order not to be seen. Just then though, his eyes caught a glimpse of a glint in the distance, seeing that it was an oncoming arrow heading right for him. He narrowly managed to roll away from it as its sharp head pierced into the floor.
"Arrows?!" he yelped in surprise, quickly glancing in the direction that the projectile had come from, not noticing anyone in sight.
'Must be another agent…' he concurred to himself, 'That means they don't want anyone to mess this up,' he realized.
"Found ya, love!" an English-accented voice suddenly exclaimed, catching his attention as he saw the individual from before looming over him, rapidly descending onto the floor in a blue blur and readying her twin pistols. Because of the lack of light, the freckled teen could not make out who she really was, but he seemed to recognize her voice as he narrowed his eyes. However, he had no time to think about that as he leapt away before being potentially struck by the pulse shots of her weapons. He also had to evade more arrows being shot his way as he jumped from roof to roof.
'Oh man, there's no end to them!' he inwardly noted as he slid to a stop, glancing back to see how far he had gotten from his foes. All of a sudden, he heard a loud bang sound off, followed by something pinging right near him. He glanced over and saw a bullet lodged into the floor, steaming as it had just made a hard impact. 'Now there's someone with a gun, too?!' he shrieked through his thoughts. Meanwhile, the woman pursuing leapt up to the top of a water tower in a streak of blue light, eyeing the aspiring hero. She was donning bright orange googles with a brown leather pilot's jacket over a skin-tight, orange and yellow suit. Over her form was a device that had a blue light at its center, draped around her chest in a uniform fashion. She blew a strand of her spiky brown hair away from her face as she put her guns away, holding her right arm before herself.
"Ya think now's a good time to let 'im know who we are?" she asked, appearing to be speaking into a communicator.
"Ah don't think that's a good idea just yet," a man with a country accent answered through the line. From afar, he came out of the shadows of a building, standing upon the veranda. He had a cowboy-like appearance with a pair of pistols tucked into holders upon his belt with ammo, boots with spurs on the back, and a red poncho draped over his shoulders. He also had a cowboy hat over his brown hair, having a beard that shaped his face well. Taking the cigar in his mouth out with his metal, prosthetic left hand, he eyed Izuku as he was carefully observing his surroundings. "Ah'll give the kid a little warnin' shot…" he declared, readying the pistol he had in his right hand. He fired off another bullet from it, catching the freckled teen's attention as immediately jumped away, sparking in green electricity still. However, he then saw a small, round-shaped object being flung his way, followed by it exploding in a bright flash of light.
"AH!" he yelped in pain, blinded as he started to fall towards the ground, losing the sparks around his form. The woman on the water tower was about to react until she saw another figure closing in, catching him before he could strike earth below.
"Hah!" the person laughed, catching his attention as he began to regain his vision, seeing who had caught him. It was a brawny man donning an powered suit of metal armor, with the shape of a lion's head upon his left arm, while he held a giant hammer with rockets installed in the back in his right hand. "You all right, lad?" he asked the freckled teen, who also saw that he had a helmet on with arched proportions similar to a rhinoceros and an orange visor.
"Ah!" he gasped, leaping out of his arms and onto the pavement of the street aligned with lampposts.
'Some pro has to have to heard the commotion by now, right?!' he questioned to himself, glancing around the area, 'I hope at least a bystander called for help…' he muttered inwardly.
"Yield!" the voice of a man with a Japanese accent bellowed, causing him to instantly turn and look to see the bow and arrow aimed his way from the person in the fire escape. He was dressed in a black gi with metallic parts over his legs and right arm. The left side of his upper body was exposed, revealing a long dragon tattoo extending from his chest down to his wrist. A quiver rested upon his back with more arrows as his black hair tied into a ponytail thanks to a decorative, yellow bandana, having white sideburns as well. A black beard was upon his face with a small goatee as he narrowed his eyes onto the target.
"Kiddo, I think you oughta' listen," another voice chimed in, being the cowboy-like man from earlier as he trotted over onto the street, "He don't usually miss too much…" he mentioned, tipping his hat up.
"Ergh…" Izuku growled, clenching his fists tightly, "You Talon jerks can do whatever you want with me…" he started to say as he got into a ready stance, "but don't you dare hurt my friends again!" he bellowed angrily. The three men stared at him indifferently, appearing to be unfazed by his words.
"Enough," another voice chimed in, having a somewhat robotic Japanese accent as well as it made everyone around perk up. Approaching them was a man who appeared to be dressed in a cybernetic suit as well, though slimmer as opposed to the other one. His helmet was equipped with a light green visor and a black bandana that waved behind it. The armor itself was mostly white with many light green parts upon his chest, torso, and shoulders. The freckled teen noticed a symbol upon the center of his chest, being the kanji for Bushin. Behind him rested two swords in their sheaths; one being a wakizashi at the back of his waist, while the other was a long katana.
"Wait a sec…" the aspiring hero started to realize, blinking in confusion.
"Let us see if you really are the successor to All Might," the cybernetic ninja proclaimed, readying to draw his longer sword as he grasped its hilt, clicking a button to unlock it from its sheath. As he started to pull it out, a greenish energy began emitting off of the blade, which his foe could sense as he began to sweat a little.
'Holy whoa, I know what this is!' he inwardly exclaimed, clenching his teeth.
"Ryūjin no ken wo kurae!" his opponent bellowed, spinning his blade out as the bright green aura of a dragon appeared out of thin air. He lunged forward in an instant, having the creature follow as it appeared that he was about to strike Izuku. Despite the overwhelming and even frightening power against him, he did not yield, keeping his fists clenched as he reeled his right arm back.
"SMMMAAAAAASSSSHHH!" he screamed loudly, throwing his fist out quickly. A loud burst of wind blew throughout the street as the woman from earlier arrived onto the scene in another blue blur, racing up to stand beside the cowboy as the archer came down from his perch to be near them.
"What'd I miss?" she asked quickly, observing what had happened before them. The hatted man beside just chuckled.
"Kid just proved himself," he replied, pointing towards the scene. The U.A. student trembled in shock as his adversary's katana had narrowly missed his head, while his fist had almost reached his chest. The dragon-like energy from his attack had disappeared, as he stood down and returned his blade to its sheath, letting it lock in with a click.
"Well done, Izuku Midoriya," he complimented to the unkempt haired teen, "You really are the one deemed worthy of his power," he noted.
"Y-You're…" he started to respond, stuttering as he was feeling faint from shock, beginning to fall over, "Gen…ji…" he uttered out, collapsing into the ninja's arms as he reached over to grab him before he could hit the ground.
"You think we overdid it a tad, loves?" Tracer asked curiously, enticing Hanzo, Jesse, and Reinhardt to stare at her blankly in reply. Meanwhile, the younger Shimada hoisted the boy over his shoulder, turning back to his companions.
"Come," he beckoned, catching their attentions, "We must deliver him to Doctor Ziegler and Winston quickly," he advised. They all nodded in agreement, following him as the clock struck midnight.

"Any sign of him?" Ochaco asked the next morning, dressed in her school uniform along with her other classmates in their classroom. Though they had been told beforehand by their teacher that the four shot students would still require some recovery time, they were very concerned at the fact that Izuku was nowhere to be found.
"I checked the dorms again," Eijiro chimed in, gesturing towards the sliding door of the area, "Wherever he is, he's not there," he pointed out, concerned himself.
"It's unlike Midoriya to be so late usually…" Tenya noted, placing his left hand onto his chin.
"I know," Alice agreed, chiming into the conversation, "Even if he's stuck on the bullet train, he'd try to find other methods of getting here as quickly as he could," she explained.
"Allura, you lost your skirt again," Rachael said, catching the ice and water mage's attention as she saw the requip user holding up the article of clothing in her right hand out of Minoru's reach as he was trying to jump up and grab it.
"AAAHHH!" she shrieked with a reddening face, "E-Excuse me…" she stammered out of embarrassment, trotting over to her friend to reclaim her skirt as the Engine Quirk user turned himself away in a gentlemanly manner.
"Natalie, why do you think Midoriya isn't here yet?" Shoto asked the dragon slayer, who had her fists clenched over the desk as he stood by her.
"I don't know," she answered honestly, gritting her teeth as in front of them, Katsuki seemed to be just as frustrated, "After what happened the night before…" she started to imply, "I wonder if-"
"Morning," Shota's voice interrupted as he entered the room, looking as raggedy as usual, "Everyone take your seats," he told the students, as most of them sat down.
"Mister Aizawa?" the Half-Cold, Half-Hot Quirk user said, getting his attention as walked up to the front of the room, noticing that he was still standing next to the Dragneel girl, "Do you happen to know where Midoriya might be?" he questioned, much to the surprise of the rest of the rest of the class as they turned over to look at him, "I don't recall him ever being this late to a class if ever…" he pointed out, sounding concerned. After a moment, the teacher let out a deep sigh, inciting the red and white haired teen to head back towards his seat.
"Midoriya's already gotten an early start to the day," he told him and the others, causing them to all gasp in astonishment, "That being said, you should all work on getting ready for today, too," he advised, taking out a remote from his pocket and pressing a button. The walls near him opened up, revealing the numbered suitcases inside. "Put on your costumes and pack whatever clothes you'll need," he said to his students, "You're gonna be on a special field trip for this week," he finished, making them all widen their eyes.
"A new field trip?" Raya questioned, evidently confused as she scratched the back of her head, "Um… don't we have a quiz today?" he asked on.
"Raya, shush!" Toru whispered loudly, "We're gonna out of the quiz, so why worry about it?!" she inquired somewhat angrily.
"I wonder where we're going…" Tsuyu said, placing her right index finger onto her right cheek.
"Beats me," Hanta replied, folding his arms behind his head.
"Let's get our costumes on and find out," Rachael advised, getting up from her seat and trotting over to the racks of suitcases brought out for her and the others. A while later, the nineteen students were dressed in their outfits, standing outside at the school parking lot.
"Hey… there's no bus…" Mashirao pointed out, scratching his head.
"Where you're all going, you won't need one," the man known as Eraserhead pointed out, getting their attentions, "This whole change in plans isn't just due to what happened the other night," he mentioned to them, "We also want you to know the full history of the Omni Force firsthand from people other than myself and All Might," he explained. Just then, a green portal appeared right behind him, making everyone gasp in surprise.
"Whoa…" Eijiro uttered in astonishment, "Does this mean we're gonna actually meet more Omni Force members like Ben Tennyson and Erza Scarlet?!" he asked excitedly.
"In a sense, yeah," Shota replied, "But these heroes are more defined by the duties they carry out in their world," he added, making some of the students blink in confusion. They then saw a figure emerge from the vortex, walking over to stand beside the unkempt man.
"That guy…" Natalie uttered, starting to realize who it was. The man that arrived had whitish blonde, messy hair, donning a blue, white, and red flak jacket with the number seventy-six imprinted upon the back. He had black and red gloves, black pants tucked into metallic boots, and several pieces of ammo and weaponry upon him. He also had a black mask to hide his face, having a red visor to see through.
"This man here is Jack Morrison," the teacher introduced, gesturing towards the man as he set his rifle down in a somewhat menacing manner, frightening some of the students as they stepped back, "He's the commander of Overwatch, where you'll be going for the trip," he stated.
"Overwatch…?" the dragon slayer uttered out in shock, staring over in awe at who was apparently the task force's leader.
END
Well, that certainly took longer than expected. As you can imagine, my second semester has still been keeping me pretty busy despite the schedule giving me more off time. Plus, I'm trying to find an internship, and that hasn't been easy. That said, I'm glad I at least got something squared away for Easter weekend, so all things are good.
First off, there's a brand new forum! Yeah, in case you haven't noticed, I took down the old forum to 'clean up' in a sense and created an entirely new one that is a little more appropriate for my stories these days. The link to it is in my profile page, so be sure to check it out.
Second, go ahead and take a look at my Deviantart and Tumblr pages! Links to those are provided in my profile as well, so be sure to follow if you'd like to!
So yeah, I'm finally getting into the history and lore of Overwatch with the Omni Force! There's a lot for me to work with, so I can't wait to take on the next few chapters in stride! Expect important roles from Genji, Tracer, and Mercy since they're Omni Force members as well. I'm really looking forward to where I'm planning to take this story and hopefully give everyone in Class 1-A a chance to shine.
Until next time… PLUS ULTRA!
