Raven wasn't sure what she was doing.
She had, for the last three days, just been staying in her room. Not really wanting to do...well anything really.
Tokoyami had sent her a few awkward texts but not much else. It was obvious he wanted to hang out again but just didn't know how to ask.
Raven had two options. One, spend the next five days the best she could and try to enjoy her time with her newly made friends before she has to stab them in the back. Or, stay in this room and try to emotionally distance herself from him, in the hope that the inevitable backstab hurt less.
She had no idea which option to choose. Unfortunately, she never really had a choice.
"RAVEN!"
Raven clutched her head as pain wracked her skull.
"Do you have to fucking yell all the goddamn time you asshole!" Raven said.
"GO BACK TO THE BOY! YOU MUST FIND OUT ABOUT THE HERO, HAWKS!"
"I've spent like a week with him already I've barely found out anything!" Raven pointed out.
"YOU WILL NOT SUCCEED BY NOT TRYING!"
"Fucking fine!" Raven said.
After a few seconds, the headache dissipated.
Of course. Why did I think I even had a choice. Raven said.
DING
Raven got a notification on her phone and saw it was Tokoyami again.
"My friends would like to meet you. Their demands to see you are ceaseless, and their voices have become like shards of glass in my ears. They want to invite you to a "hang out" after school hours. Of course, you are free to refuse, but know that if you do, I have no doubts that I will, without a doubt, receive complaints. If you would accept this invitation I would be most grateful." Tokoyami texted.
Raven smirked slightly, amused at the wording used in the text. "Well, I...I really don't have a choice."
She replied. "Sure. Don't have much else to do."
After about a minute and a half, Tokoyami replied. "Thank you. Please meet up with us outside of U.A.. Tomorrow."
"Sure." She replied.
After waiting a minute in case he said something else, Raven put down her phone.
"Alright time to meet more people I'll have to betray," Raven said sarcastically. "Yay."
At U.A. the next day
Raven walked up to the, extremely famous, school, wondering if she'd ever be able to get close to this place without getting arrested after four days.
"Hey! Over here!"
Raven heard a very peppy voice yelling in her direction, and after looking around to see if they could be calling to anyone else, she looked in the direction of the voice.
Not too far away was Tokoyami and a small group consisting of seven girls and two other guys
"Hey!" Shouted Mina. "Were over here!"
Raven shrugged and walked over to the group.
"You must be Raven right!" Mina said.
"I didn't even tell you what she looked like, how did you know that was her?" Tokoyami asked.
"Your friend's name is Raven and she's friends with you. There is no way the girl walking around U.A. at the time we're supposed to meet in dark clothes and a purple cloak, isn't her." Himiko said.
"Still! It is extremely rude to just shout at strangers!" Iida shouted, moving his arms in his signature chopping motion.
"Well, she was right," Raven said. "Anyway, names Raven. But you already knew that."
"Yup! I'm Himiko! Nice to meet ya!" Toga said eagerly.
"The name is Helena Yaoyorozu." Helena introduced herself. "And the girl that looks like me but less fun is my sister Momo."
"Hmph!" Momo pouted. "I'll have you know I am a very entertaining person. So long as such entertainment falls within the confines of the rules and regulations."
"I've known you for less than two minutes and you've already used the words, rules, and regulations. Sorry but I'm going to have to agree with your sister right now." Raven said.
"I object! Just because we follow the rules doesn't mean we can't have fun! In fact, I find following the rules extremely fun!" Iida shouted. "I am Iida Tenya by the way! Class president!"
"Yes, he's always this loud," Jiro said. "Also I'm Jiro."
"He's loud and a bit of a stick in the mud, but he's really nice!" Ochaco added, defending her friend. "I'm Ochaco Uraraka by the way."
"I'm Shinso," Shinso said. "I'm here to make sure these idiots don't do anything stupid."
"Hey, we're not idiots!" Mina protested.
"Didn't you get hit by a parked car once?" Tsuyu asked.
"How do you get hit by a parked car?" Raven asked.
"That's what I said," Jiro responded. "Also pinky over here is Mina and the frog girl is Asui."
"Just call me Tsu, Kero." Tsuyu said.
"Noted," Raven said.
"Well with introductions out of the way…" Mina stopped mid-sentence. "Hey wait...where is-"
"BOO!" Shouted something from behind Raven, causing her to jolt in alarm.
She quickly turned around, her eyes glowing red as she summoned forth shadow blades beside her.
"Woah!" Shouted Toru, completely invisible in front of her. "Sorry about that! I just wanted to surprise ya! No need to impale me!"
Raven glared at her for a few moments before closing her eyes, taking a deep breath, and deactivating her quirk. "I'm not a fan of sudden surprises."
"I can see that now!" Toru said.
"As I said, idiots," Shinso repeated.
"Raven! You are not supposed to use your quirk in public!" Iida reprimanded. "However, since it was our classmate that caused you such shock, I will excuse it this once!"
What does that mean? Raven wondered.
"Anywho. Sorry about the jump scare. Names Toru! Nice to meet ya!" Toru said.
"I'm guessing you have an invisibility quirk," Raven said.
"Yup!" Toru said. "I'm the stealth master of 1A!"
"Wait. Toru. How are you fully invisible right now?" Mina asked. "You didn't get naked in the middle of the street did you?"
"NO!" Toru retorted, giving off a blush no one could see. "Gosh Mina! I told you already about my new stealth suit! Remember! It turns invisible along with me!"
"When did you get that?" Mina asked.
"She told us about it weeks ago Mina." Tsuyu pointed out.
"Where did you get that by the way?" Momo asked. "I've never heard of any kind of material that can turn invisible."
"It was a gift from Shield Tech! They said that they didn't want their future heroes running around naked." Toru explained.
"That's fair. I could imagine the headlines. Naked heroine debuts! Just when you thought hero costumes couldn't get any sluttier." Raven added.
"Nothing wrong with showing off some skin," Helena said.
"Yeah, I'm sure the villains will appreciate knowing where to attack." Raven snarked.
"I think I'm gonna like you," Jiro smirked.
Meanwhile, Momo was blushing profusely, as she remembered how exposing her own costume was.
"Anyway! Let's go! We can't just stand around here all day!" Mina jumped excitedly. "There is a festival ground not too far away from here! Leeeeetttts GO!"
With that Mina charged ahead, with most of her friends following her. Leaving only Raven and Tokoyami, who was blushing profusely in embarrassment.
"I apologize. My friends are rather...strange." Tokoyami said.
"I don't mind," Raven said. "Strange friends means you never board."
"True," Tokoyami said. "We should depart. Before we lose sight of them."
Raven smiled at him, making his heart skip a beat and his face erupt in red. "Sure."
Later, at the festival.
The group reached the festival grounds and immediately descended on the food there.
Helena, in particular, was shoving meat down her throat like there was no tomorrow.
"Jeez for one of our classes three skirt chasers, you sure do love inhaling meat." Mina teased.
"Oh. Well, how about you try out my training regimen, and try not to intake food like Fatgum on a busy day." Helena said.
"Don't do it, Mina! She's a monster! I tried training with her once and she had to jog me to the hospital afterward. And she probably did squats in the waiting room!" Toru said.
"Well, I have to keep this perfect ass in shape somehow," Helena said.
"True enough you are the perfect ass." Jiro quipped.
Raven watched them squabble with a neutral expression on her face, leaning back and eating a slice of pizza.
"Their pretty loud huh?" Ochaco said, walking up and leaning on the wall next to her.
"It's fine," Raven said. "Watching them is pretty amusing. Feel like I should be eating popcorn instead of Pizza."
"Tell me about it. Sometimes it feels like my life feels like a T.V. show. Or a mediocre fanfic." Toga added, coming out of nowhere.
"I'd say my life is at least a B-tier fanfiction," Raven said.
Toga giggled at that. "You're funny. I can see how you got the attention of the edgy birb boi. I bet you two met in that underground cafe and started telling each other dark edgy poems."
"That's...scarily accurate," Raven said.
"I hear that a lot!" Toga cheered.
"So Raven, you probably know that all of us, except Himiko, want to be heroes. What are you trying to be?" Ochaco asked.
"Well right now I'm a professional freeloader," Raven said. "I've been a drifter for a long time so I haven't really gotten the chance to think about my future."
"Oh! Oh! I was like that too!" Toga said. "I was homeless for a few months after my parents disowned me."
"Oh," Raven said, not sure how to respond to something so sad being said in such a cheerful tone. "I'm sorry?"
"Nah it's fine, they were assholes anyway, and Ms. Shield took me in as her live-in maid. It's great!" Toga said.
"Melissa Shield huh. Seems like one of those benevolent billionaire types." Raven noted.
"Yeah, she's great. Although I may have a biased opinion, seeing as she lifted my family out of poverty and all." Ochaco scratched the back of her neck.
"She's also been supplying U.A. with improved security and supplies." Toga pointed out.
"Now that I think about it," Raven said. "I think I've also heard about her giving to a shit ton of charities. Honestly, she seems so nice that it makes me think she's hiding something."
"Wha-what no!" Ochaco said, sweating a little. "She's probably too busy to be hiding anything."
"You'd think but from what I've heard on the streets, rich people have a surprising amount of free time," Raven said. "But who knows."
"Y-yeah," Ochaco said.
It was then that Tsuyu, Shinso, Toru, Iida, and Tokoyami came back with cotton candy and candy apples.
"We have returned!" Iida announced.
"Sweet!" Mina said, immediately taking a cotton candy in one hand and a candy apple in the other.
Tokoyami walked up to Raven, holding two Candy apples. "Do you…"
Raven smiled at the awkward proposition and took one of the candy apples. "Thanks."
Tokoyami blushed, before quickly taking a bite (peck?) out of his apple.
Eventually, the group moved on and reached all the game stalls.
"They have a Batman plush!" Toga said, pointing at the ring toss booth.
Why does she still get so excited over Batman merch? She lives with the fucker! Helena thought as Toga dragged her over to the stall.
"Win it for me!" Toga begged her.
"Why? You can win it yourself." Helena pointed out.
"But I want to be given it as a gift!" Toga said. "Like in a manga! I let you use the crossbow in the bedroom last week! You owe me!"
Raven and Momo began choking on their candy as Tokoyami and Shinso rushed to their aid.
Meanwhile, Mina and Toru were currently laughing their asses off.
"Oh my god, she gave her the shaft!" Toru laughed.
"Did you wear the mask too!" Mina laughed.
"That is highly inappropriate!" Iida said.
"Oh, you think that's inappropriate?" Toga said with a devious smirk on her face. "Well-"
Helena promptly took Toga's head and mashed her face right between her breasts to shut her up. "Fine, I'll win you the stupid doll."
"Victory!" Toga shouted into Helena's bosom.
With that, the two of them, as well as the rest of the group made their way over to the ring toss.
"Welcome to...uh." The man at the stall looked at Helena, who still had Toga's head in her chest, and immediately became confused.
"I'd like to play your game," Helena said, slapping money down on the table while giving the man a deadpan stare.
"Oook." The man said. "Would anyone else like to play? Up to five players. No quirks allowed."
"I'll go!" Mina said walking up to the booth.
"I'll give it a try," Jiro said.
"Me too!" Ochaco said.
Tokoyami looked at his classmates eagerly lining up to play, when Toru suddenly whispered in his ear.
"Look at Raven." She whispered.
Tokoyami turned to see that Raven was staring at one of the prizes in the stall. It was a small necklace with a star on it.
"You should win it for her!" Toru whispered, before pushing him forward over to the stall.
"Would you like to play as well young man?" The man at the stall asked.
"Y-yes," Tokoyami answered.
"Well then, ladies and gentlemen. The game is simple, the farther the bottle is the more points you'll get when you throw a ring on it. And the one in the back on the moving platform is worth a hundred points!" The man explained. "Now grab your rings and throw!"
Tokoyami took a deep breath and picked up the rings. This was his chance. He could finally show just how capable he was! Time to be a hero!
One ring toss later
"And that's it!" The man said. "Let's see the results!"
Helena: 1,000 points
Mina: 80 points
Jiro: 100 points
Ochaco: 270 points
Tokoyami: 10 points
Tokoyami hung his head in shame. I should probably stop having Dark Shadow do work for me.
Mina, Raven, and Toru gave Tokoyami pitiful looks, while Ochaco and Jiro celebrated their relative success.
"Give her the Batman toy," Helena demanded.
Toga finally moved from her spot in Helena's chest and smiled wildly as the Batman merch was handed to her.
"Uh miss you know you can get more than just that right?" The man said.
"Then give me anything you have that's stuffed and cute," Helena said.
As the man loaded Helena and Toga's arms with plushies, the other girls took their pick of the prizes while Tokoyami lamented his failure.
Jiro got a small stuffed bear and after giving it look that said, what am I going to do with this?
She then turned to Momo and promptly offered it to her. "You'll probably like this more than me."
Mom smiled at her friend and took the plush. "Thank you, Jiro."
Raven saw Tokoyami dejectedly staring into the counter, and decided that she should probably say something.
"Your...not very good at this huh," Raven said.
"Let the earth open up below me, and may the eternal abyss from which I spawned swallow me whole." Tokoyami lamented.
"Well, could you hold off until after you take your prize?" The man said.
The man then placed the necklace in Tokoyami's hands.
The bird boy's eyes widened as he looked up at the man confused.
"Sorry kid. This is the only thing you can get with a score that low." The man said.
Tokoyami looked at the necklace in disbelief. There is a dark god looking out for me.
He then promptly turned around and looked at Raven.
"Well seeing as I have little use for this, I suppose it would be best in your hands," Tokoyami said, offering the necklace to her.
Raven smiled and rolled her eyes as she took the necklace. "Thanks. My mom had one like it. It wasn't made of plastic but still."
"Y-your welcome," Tokoyami responded.
Meanwhile, the rest of the group smiled as the awkward, yet touching scene in front of them.
Later
After playing a few more games the group decided to leave.
Toga and Helena had decided to see who could win the most games, and as a result, they had gotten a ton of prizes, all of which they made Shinso carry, luckily for him, Tsuyu and Ochaco had decided to help the poor boy, meanwhile, the two who all those prizes belonged to, had gone off to parts unknown, most likely to do nothing good, which lead to Momo and Iida splitting off to find them.
"I can't believe they just left us with their stuff," Ochaco said.
"I can." Shinso sighed. "Those two do whatever they please. That's why I have to tag along with them to make sure they don't go too far."
"This isn't too far?" Tsuyu asked.
"Not even close," Shinso said. "Remember the pirates."
"Oh right." Tsuyu said.
Raven gave Tokoyami a confused look. "Pirates?"
"I have no idea," Tokoyami said.
The group eventually entered a tunnel, and as they walked through it-
BOOM!
Suddenly the whole tunnel began to rumble and shake.
"What's going on!?" Said a civilian.
"Was that a bomb!?" Asked another one.
The U.A. students and Raven immediately went on alert.
"Everyone please get out of the tunnel!" Mina said. "If this place collapses then we'll be-"
BOOM!
An explosion came from the front of the tunnel, causing the front to collapse and rubble to fall, blocking the exit.
"Trapped." Mina finished. "Alright everyone go back. The other side is still-"
BOOM!
People shrieked as another explosion detonated behind them, causing that side to collapse and close off the only other exit.
"You know maybe I should just shut my mouth," Mina said.
The people began to panic, as they were now trapped in a completely dark, closed-off tunnel, where all it would take is another explosion above them to seal their fates.
"Everyone please stay calm! Panicking won't fix anything!" Mina shouted, but it fell on deaf ears.
"Is everyone ok?" Ochaco asked her friends.
"I'm fine," Shinso said.
"Me too, Kero." Tsuyu said.
"I'm good," Jiro said.
"And me," Mina said.
"Me too," Toru said.
There was a short pause as they waited for Tokoyami to respond, but instead, all they heard were his grunts of pain.
"Tokoyami?" Mina said.
"Uh, guys. We have a problem." Raven said.
Fortunately for her, one of Raven's abilities was being able to see in the dark, meaning she could see everything going on around her.
Meaning she could see that Dark Shadow, who was previously sleeping the entire time, was now awake and growing very, very large.
"Oh shit Dark Shadow," Jiro said.
"Crap," Mina whispered, not wanting everyone else to hear that something was seriously wrong. "Toru can you make some light?"
"I manipulate light! I can't create it!" Toru said. "My stealth suit can store light but you guys made me take it off!"
Ochaco immediately dropped all the stuff in her arms and went to Tokoyami's side.
"Think happy thoughts, happy thoughts," Ochaco said in an attempt to help him.
Tokoyami tried as hard as he could but in a place of absolute darkness, it was extremely hard to try and control Dark Shadow, and what's worse his failure to do so only made him panic more, making it easier for Dark Shadow to go berserk.
"RAHHHHH!" Dark Shadow cried, as he suddenly exploded in size, knocking back all of his friends as he started overtaking Tokoyami himself.
"What's going on! What was that!" The civilians cried in fear.
"Calm down! Nothing is-Ahh!" Mina suddenly got hit by Dark Shadow, who was starting to lash out at whatever was closest.
"Crap," Raven muttered. I need to do something. I can control Dark Shadow but that won't stop him from growing. Tokoyami said that Dark Shadow grows stronger with Negative emotions, and he's definitely feeling a lot of negative emotions. I'll need to use two of my quirks at once.
Raven took a deep breath, and her eyes glowed red as she activated her first quirk, Shadow manipulation.
Dark Shadows suddenly became still. He was still growing, but he was no longer lashing out or trying to attack anyone, as Raven took control of his entire body.
"Errr," Raven grunted. She could feel Dark Shadow fighting her control, and she wasn't used to shadow's fighting back. If she didn't do something soon then he would go back to attacking them.
Then she activated her second quirk. Empathic Link. It was a quirk that allowed her to manipulate a person's emotions, using her own.
"Tokoyami." She said, "Relax."
Raven focused and brought her positive memories to the surface. Today at the festival, them playing video games for hours, buying all that stuff for Hawks, even back when they first met.
All the positive feelings that came with those memories, flowed into Raven and then into Tokoyami.
Raven. He thought, as his panic was replaced by feelings of joy and comfort, although with a strange underlying sense of dread.
Dark Shadow stopped growing, and as Tokoyami regained control, he made Dark Shadow stop trying to attack people, and with his and Raven's combined efforts they managed to keep him under control.
"What's going on?" Mina said.
"It sounds like Dark Shadow stopped growing," Jiro said. "He stopped attacking too."
"I'm using my quirk to help keep him under control," Raven said. "But I can't do this forever. We need to get out of here."
Understanding the situation, the heroes in training immediately started racking their brains trying to figure out a way out of this mess.
"Wait," Jiro said. "Can anyone tell if Dark Shadow is still huge?"
"I can and he is," Raven said.
"How can you tell?" Mina asked.
"I can see in the dark," Raven said.
"But didn't your quirk control shadows?" Tsuyu asked.
"Fewer questions and more getting us out of here!" Raven said.
Jiro went over to the wall and stuck one of her ear jacks into the wall. After about a minute, she took it back out.
"Most of the tunnel is still stable. If we can use Dark Shadow to break through the rubble, then we can get out without worrying about the whole place collapsing." Jiro said.
Tokoyami nodded. "Raven, I'll need your assistance. I can't see in the dark so I'll need you to guild Dark Shadow. I'll help keep him under control."
"Alright," Raven said.
"Everyone! Move to the sides of the tunnel!" Mina shouted. "We are going to get you out of here safely! But we need you to move to the sides!"
It took a few minutes, but eventually, everyone moved aside, making a path.
"Everyone's moved," Raven said. "Tokoyami, it's time."
"Right," Tokoyami said.
Raven moved Dark Shadow towards the blocked exit, and Tokoyami willed Dark Shadow to move in the direction Raven wanted it two.
Together, controlling Dark Shadow was a piece of cake. Even in the darkest of darkness.
In only a few seconds, Dark Shadow had reached the rubble blocking the exit.
"RAHH!" Dark Shadow cried as he rammed through the rubble, freeing everyone, and letting moonlight shine.
"Wooo! Were free!" Shouted the civilians as they ran free.
Everyone immediately ran out of the tunnel, fleeing as far as they could from the tunnel.
The group ran out of the tunnel and looked at Tokoyami and Dark Shadow, who was still huge despite the moonlight.
"Toru! Your quirk!" Ochaco said.
"On it!" Toru said. "Say cheese!"
Toru used the moon's light and flashed Dark Shadow a few times, gradually making him shrink, until he eventually shrunk back to normal size.
"Woah. What happened." Dark Shadow said.
"Thank you," Tokoyami said.
"Your welcome!" Toru said.
Tokoyami looked at Raven and bowed. "Thank you as well, Raven. If it were not for you then everyone would have been in danger because of me."
"Yeah, you really saved our buts!" Ochaco said.
"Hey!"
Everyone looked behind them and saw that Toga, Helena, Mina, and Iida had returned and were running towards them.
"Is everyone alright!?" Iida asked.
"We heard there was a villain attack over here," Momo said. "The heroes have already apprehended the attacker but we were worried you might have gotten hurt."
"Yeah, apparently the villain was some tourist named Mad Stan or something." Toga said. "It would be really lame if you died to a villain with a name that dumb."
"Well were fine," Mina said. "All thanks to Raven and Tokoyami."
After a short explanation, the group who had split off got it.
"Nice," Toga praised.
"Yeah, thanks for keeping our friends alive," Helena said.
"I normally do not approve of unlicensed quirk use! But due to the situation, it's perfectly understandable!" Iida said.
"I agree," Momo said.
"Let's give the hero and heroine and round of applause!" Mina said.
"Please don't," Raven said.
"I would rather you didn't," Tokoyami said.
"I don't know what's going on but please do!" Dark Shadow said.
The two's pleas ended up getting ignored and everyone gave them a round of applause, except for Shinso who just gave them a look of approval.
Despite getting praised, Raven felt like anything but a hero. All these people trusted her, and they were praising her, calling her a hero.
She didn't want to see the looks on their faces when she betrayed them.
Then don't. Came a stray thought in her head. If you feel so bad about betraying them, then don't. All you have to do is turn yourself in and tell them everything you know. You haven't committed any major crimes so they might go easy on you.
That won't stop dad thought. Said the other part of her brain. He'll keep trying to control me and people might get hurt.
Maybe they can help you with that. She thought. You've never tried! And even if they can't, would it be that bad being selfless for once? These are good people. You shouldn't-
She didn't even get to finish her thoughts, as a massive headache brought her to her knees.
"AGGGHHHH!" Raven shouted as intense pain rattled her skull.
"Raven!" Tokoyami said.
Everyone immediately became concerned and came closer to her.
"N-no! Getaway!" Raven shouted as her eyes turned red, and she felt herself starting to lose control of her body.
"YOU FORGET GIRL. YOU BELONG TO ME! PERHAPS THERE DEATHS WILL REMIND YOU OF THAT!"
The shadows of her friends began to rise, and turn into sharp blades, aimed at the backs of their owners.
NO! Raven wanted to scream but Trigon had already taken control of her mouth so she couldn't warn them.
As the blades drew closer to her friend's backs, Raven started to accept that there was nothing she could do.
"Raven!" She heard Tokoyami's voice. "It's ok! Just hang on a bit longer! We'll get you some help."
Raven looked at her friend, her first friend, who was so concerned, trying to help her.
She couldn't let it happen like this.
The shadow blades stopped in their tracks.
"YOU THINK YOU CAN RESIST ME, GIRL!"
Not them! I won't let you hurt them! Raven struggled harder than she ever had before, trying to regain control.
Eventually, the shadow blades slowly began to sink back into the ground.
"FINE. YOUR FRIENDS MAY LIVE FOR NOW. BUT KNOW THAT IF YOU CONTINUE TO DISOBEY ME, THEN THEY WILL PARISH!"
Raven's eyes turned back to normal, and the shadow blades dissipated completely.
She took deep breaths as slowly, the pain began to dissipate.
"Raven are you ok?" Iida said. "Should we call an ambulance?"
"No." Raven panted. "I'm fine. I get really bad headaches sometimes, using my quirk like this just made it worse. I have some medication at home."
"We should take you home then," Momo said.
"I'll go by myself," Raven said.
"Not in that state you won't," Helena said. "That headache looked really bad. You might pass out for all you know."
She was about to object, but one look at them told her they weren't going to take no for an answer.
"I'll go with her," Tokoyami said.
"That's fine I guess," Raven said, knowing it was the best she was going to get.
Everyone was hesitant, but after much insistence, they agreed to let the two go off on their own.
Later
As Tokoyami and Raven walked down the dark city streets, Tokoyami eventually asked her a question.
"What was that?" He asked.
"What was what?" Asked Raven in return.
"You were in my head," Tokoyami said. "I saw all the memories of our time together. It's what helped calm me down."
Raven grit her teeth. "They were probably just your own memories. Maybe you subconsciously brought them up."
"They were from your point of view," Tokoyami said, killing Raven's argument right there. "And those emotions I felt, it was hard to tell, but I knew not all of them were mine."
Shit. Raven thought. I already lied so If I keep lying it's going to look suspicious...fuck it I'm gonna be wanted in four days anyway. I doubt he'll figure me out that soon.
"I have two quirks," Raven said.
"Two quirks?" Tokoyami questioned. "The only things I know of that have multiple quirks are those Nomu things."
"Well, I'm a special case," Raven said. "My second quirk lets me link my mind and emotions to others."
"That makes sense I suppose, but why did you hide it?" Tokoyami asked.
"I don't really want to be treated like I'm special." Raven lied. "Plus I don't want to be confused for those Nomu things."
"That's fair I suppose," Tokoyami said. "Still, both those quirks helped me greatly in controlling Dark Shadow. And I am forever grateful."
Raven stayed silent for a moment, before giving him a smirk. "Don't worry about it. And you're welcome."
Eventually Raven brought Tokoyami to an abandoned building near the bar and after convincing him that it was her home, the two said their goodbyes and Tokoyami left.
Raven sighed. I better go inside and then call Kurogiri to pick me up. Today was exhausting.
As Raven went inside, a figure that was watching her from a nearby alleyway walked away from the building.
That figure was none other than Ochaco Uraraka.
While some of her friends had missed some of the more suspicious things Raven had done, the use of multiple quirks, the guilty look she had when she was getting praised and the shadow blades, she had not. And had decided to follow Her and Tokoyami while they walked back, to see if anything suspicious happened and sure enough it did.
She took out her flip phone and dialed a number in, before holding it to her ear.
It didn't take long for the other person to pick up.
"Uraraka." Came Izuku's voice on the other end. "Your monthly report isn't due for another few days."
"Yeah, but something important came up," Ochaco said.
"Does it have to do with that villain attack from earlier?" Izuku asked.
"Kind of," Ochaco responded. "One of my classmates met a girl named Raven."
"Do you know her real name?" Izuku asked.
"They're saying that is her real name." Ochaco clarified. "What's weirder is she's Japanese and she doesn't even have a last name."
"That is odd, but It doesn't seem like it's so important you had to call me about," Izuku said. "I'm assuming there's more."
"Yes, sir. I noticed some things were off about her." Ochaco said. "She helped save us during the villain attack from earlier but when we praised her for it she looked guilty. And she also has two quirks."
"The Todoroki kind or the Nomu kind?" Izuku asked.
Todoroki didn't technically have two quirks, but his one quirk had two abilities so it almost seemed like he did. While Nomu just flat out had two separate quirks, it was important to distinguish the difference between the two, as one was natural and the other was not.
"At first I wasn't really sure, but I followed them and overheard her saying that she had two quirks, implying it's more like the Nomu kind," Ochaco said. "Himiko was there as well she can probably tell you more about it."
"I see. That is suspicious." Izuku said. "While I doubt she's a Nomu herself she could have a connection to...never mind. Did you see anything else that was suspicious?"
"After she saved us she got a really bad headache, and her quirk seemed to go out of control, I think she almost attacked us," Ochaco said. "She also went inside this really shady building, no lights are on and there's no sound coming from inside. It's also in a really shady part of the city."
"Alright, I look into it," Izuku said. "For now let's leave the conversation here, you should get out of that part of the city. If you see this girl do anything else suspicious. Thank you for going above your orders and reporting this, I'm sure your parents will be very happy with their sudden increase in pay and I'll be looking forward to your report on 1A's activities."
"Thank you, sir," Ochaco said.
Izuku hung up and Ochaco went on her way.
She did feel bad about reporting someone who helped her out to Batman, but as one of Batman's informants, she couldn't not report suspicious activity to him. After all, she owed him and Shield too much.
She was sure Raven would understand.
So the next chapter will probably be the last chapter of this arc, after that we'll be back with Izuku.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter, please review and have a nice day.
