It's been a week since Daria has been attending UA, she's had a lot of fun during the week, and she's gotten closer to the Bakusquad as well. She finally had revealed her hero costume, for the jacket it was a military style jacket with a hood that rested on the tops of her shoulders. The material was dark grey, nearly black in color, with a zipper closer to her right side that went from her neck line, that zagged at an angle with the other end resting at the left side of her hip line. There were multiple, big pockets lining the inner parts of the jacket, with a blue & silver fur that lined the inside of the clothing, that kept her inner body surrounded by warmth when the jacket was completely or partially zipped up. The hood adorned the same fur as the inside of the jacket, as she had black, thin but well insulated gloves that fitted her tiny hands perfectly.
The blouse underneath the jacket was a tank top style, except for having the thin lined straps, it had more of a sports bra kind of thick cut straps that looped around the shoulders, and connected in the back. The fabric was meshed and sewn together in a way to form a crisscross pattern on her back, but between her wide shoulders. The blouse itself has two layers built into it, the layer underneath was a smokey grey color like ash, and was made to withstand the elements like fire or ice, something the outside layer of the jacket had as well. The top layer was netted with a black lining, that adorned and created a rose and vine pattern, as well as ice patterns for a personal touch, from the front to the back of the material.
The pants were a sort of thick, but snug military style piece of clothing, she could move well in them, as they were made from a flexible but strong material. They were red plaid in color, and they hugged her legs comfortably. Those pants also had pockets ranging from big to small down the legs, as well as chains and clips for a bag or more support items. On her feet she wore thick boots that looked like a cross between boots and sneakers, they were specially designed to have hidden compartments in them and to withstand the elements. The boots went up to her mid ankle thigh, and were a laced shoe.
For the upper equipment that she wears, for her hands not only does she have the gloves, but also has personalized metal claws that are attached to the ends of her fingertips, to catch the liquid at any time from her quirk, to collect it, like that of Bakugou's gauntlets. At the end of each claw is a small injector that lets out a small amount of the liquid at a time, with a switch that is pushed in the middle of her palm. The switch was hidden with the fingerless gloves that she wore, that traveled down to almost her elbow, with a zipper that zipped up along the skin of her inner arm. With that equipment being the main drive behind her quirk, she also has multiple pieces of gear, where she has some of the liquid stored inside them, or injected inside them to throw or to set up for a trap. There are also these containers like a small canteen, that she can throw that holds a condensed, vapor form of her quirk stored inside them. That when thrown will spread out and freeze anything with a certain radius field.
For the past week she's gotten a lot of sparring into her training regime. Fighting hand to hand, punching bags, and fighting against most of the Bakusquad, none of them being able to use their quirks. They made that a rule, to make things fair, and so they wouldn't be relying on their quirks in case of a real life situation. Hell she and Bakugou spent the most time in the gym, they both got up early and went for a run around campus, ate healthy, did small exercises throughout the day, and went to the gym twice a day or more depending on how much time they had during the day. Daria would also call her aunt, and sisters when she had the chance during the week. She loved attending UA, she just wished her sisters could be there to experience it with her.
Everyone learned real quick during training exercises, that if you were partnered against her, that you were treated like a real enemy. She was cocky, bluntly honest, and would speak her mind no matter the person. She was kind of like Bakugou, but not as loud or brash as the explosive boy. Just a few days ago, Monoma approached her and the Bakusquad eating lunch, as always he was a cocky little shit, that would insult class 1-A at whatever chance he could get when Kendo wasn't nearby. To say she got up pulled him aside, and roasted him so hot the cheeks of his pants seemed to have caught on fire. The other was so embarrassed that he turned and bolted out of the room as soon as she let him go. Not even Bakugou, the one Monoma would bother the most, could have done something like what Daria had done. The difference between him and her, was he would have just blown up Monoma's face right then, right there in that moment. Daria actually stood back, kept calm, and roasted him in the most elegant, but most blunt way possible.
On the present day it was a Sunday, with Daria in the kitchen of the dorms, cooking a recipe she had always loved back at home. She had gotten some stuff ordered through her aunt, and brought to the dorms, storing the stuff she had in her room, where she had her own mini fridge, and food compartment installed. She learned real quick never leave out any good food, or drinks, because once you felt like eating or drinking them, they would be gone.
It was 7 in the morning, she would usually eat a protein bar before her run, then come back to the dorms to cook a well balanced breakfast. She was cooking some eggs, with a few vegetables, and some fruit. Daria checks her phone seeing a message from her twin sister, so she unlocks her phone, checking what her sister wanted.
From:Cici B.
To:Daria B.
[Hey! How r u?]
From:Daria B.
To:Cici B.
[I'm doing fine sis. What are you up to? I'm making some breakfast rn.]
From:Cici B.
To:Daria B.
[I just got up like not 10 min ago. I know you're the health nut out of the two of us. :) Are we going to play our virtual game tonight? The Rubi boys keep trash talking about your absence. Saying that your touch is out of bounds and weak af.]
From:Daria B.
To:Cici B.
[Oh they are now? Do they need another lecture from me? You know what, yeah I'm in tonight. Tell them the ice queen is back in action!]
From:Cici B.
To:Daria B.
[Hell yeah! I know it, we're not the disaster duo for nothing sister!]
...
[I really miss you, I wish I was over there with you Ria.]
From:Daria B.
To:Cici B.
[I know you do, but so do I. The two of us have never been apart for this long. Though I couldn't say the same for the school, they may have kicked us out the same day. XD]
From:Cici B.
To:Daria B.
[I know they would have kicked us out the same day. XD]
...
[You cause any trouble yet? Break anyone's spirits? Wreck some shit?]
From:Daria B.
To:Cici B.
[Well I did wreck some shit, but as long as it's during training it's completely legal. Though can't seriously injure or kill anyone, that's the only rule, anything else goes during the exercise. ;)]
...
[And I did crush a spirit. He kept talking shit about me and my squad, so I did justice on the little mongrel. XP]
From:Cici B.
To:Daria B.
[That's my sis! So tell me about this squad of yours, I want the deets. Can I meet them over a video chat or what?]
From:Daria B.
To:Cici B.
[I'll talk to them about it. I'm sure they would love to talk to you. I'll let them tell you themselves. They are really cool, it's like I was destined to meet them! You would totally fit in to, though if we did the whole twin matching thing, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two of us.]
From:Cici B.
To:Daria B.
[Yeah no joke. I remember when we did that with our teachers back at home in elementary school, it was so funny. She was freaking out so much!]
...
[She called Chera and Iri, we got detention the next day. Though it was hilarious when you put hot sauce in that teacher's coffee as payback a week later. She couldn't talk for half an hour, her mouth was on fire, almost literally! What kind of hot sauce did you use again?]
From:Daria B.
To:Cici B.
[Ghost pepper. And I am damn proud of that moment. It was so worth the 3 days of ISD I got afterwards.]
Daria sends the text laughing under her breath at so many memories of mischief her and her twin got into at school, as well as outside of school. She really did miss her sister, she hoped they visited soon.
"Hey I think your vegetables are starting to burn." She hears a voice say from beside her. She turns her head to see Deku standing there, a bag of chips in his hands with a water bottle in the other.
She turns back to the vegetables she had been pan frying til they were tender, she see's indeed in some spots they had small parts of black on them, but that could easily be taken off. Daria is quick to stir the vegetables, turning down the fire in the end, before turning back to Deku who was getting a couple cups of yogurt out of the fridge.
"Thanks for that. I got too zoned into chatting with my sister, that I didn't notice them starting to burn." She told him with a small smile. Slipping her phone into her pocket, she would answer her sister in a few minutes.
Deku just laughs lightly, "It's fine. I just came to get a few snacks for my friends, were playing mario kart in the living area. Whatever your cooking smells good. What is it?"
"Oh it's called Plăcintă aromână, it's this pie that's filled with leeks or spinach, with eggs, cheese, and sour cream. It's then baked until evenly cooked, it's my favorite thing to eat for breakfast. It's one of the many breakfast options in my home country. I didn't have enough time to make my own pie crust so I already have some pre-made. Just got to finish cooking the spinach and leeks, I already got the sour cream ready, and the eggs scrambled on a pan." Daria told him, detailing everything out. Now if she was back home or had enough time she would have made the pie dough by scratch just like her older sister showed her.
"That does sound good. Do you mind if you made me a small one? I would really love to eat some food from Romania, I want to embrace your culture." Deku told her, his face lit up bright.
"Sure, I'll make some for everyone. I only eat about 1 anyways." She turned back to what she was doing, "You're lucky I always make extra just in case. So where is the Bakusquad?"
She goes to work dishing everything, opening the pastry dough, and laying it all out for assembly. While she works Deku answers her, "Oh Mina, Denki, and Kirishima are all still in bed. Kaa-chan is still on his run." He holds up the snacks he had collected in his arms, "Well I got to go hand out those snacks. I'm sure everyone is getting hungry, I'll tell them you're making some savory pies for breakfast."
Daria nods, "Yeah, I'll go wake them up after I get these in the oven. Me and them have a training session at the gym today."
Deku perks up at that, "Training session? I didn't know you were doing that. Do you mind if I join in?"
"Well I would have to run that by the rest of the group, but I myself would love to spar with you without any quirks involved, just with what god gave you." She tells him, showing her fist.
"Who showed you how to fight like that? I would really love to meet them." He asked her once more.
"My older sisters. Each of us have a non-combative quirk so we all learned how to fight and defend ourselves just in case. After all in the middle of a fight you can't rely completely on your quirk, you've got to have other skills besides that to be good on the battlefield or at least have a chance." She smirks, looking at where some cheers came from. "Well you best be getting those snacks for your friends. It's a weekend day so there is plenty of time for a chat later." She turns back to her task.
Meanwhile in a darkened alleyway, rain poured from the sky, as thunder rumbled throughout the very air. Lighting filtered through the sky like that of veins. Puddles of water flooded the streets as a man in a darkened robe walked through the alleyway, he had a briefcase with him that was silver in color and made out of steel. The man's long hair stuck to his face, and his neck, the robe long soaked over 20 minutes prior. He hurried through the streets, until he stopped at an old door that looked to have gone through a war.
He held up a fist, knocking on the strong iron door. A minute later the little slide built inside the top of the door slides open to reveal a pair of eyes that looked reptilian. "Yeah what do you want? Are you the guy we were supposed to meet up with?"
The man nods, holding up an ID, shoving it through the opening. "Yeah I am, but I'm on a tight schedule, so if we could wrap this up, that would be great." He clears his throat, "Your leader is Shigaraki right? I have a proposal for him."
The eyes look at his ID before replying, "Let me run this by the boss. I'll show him the ID before allowing you entrance. Were wary of who comes in the base and who doesn't nowadays. So just sit there, until I return." The metal is slid back over the entrance, with the very faint footsteps against concrete fading from behind the door.
For a few minutes he waits until the sound of a door unlocking is heard, and the door swings open with a light scrape across the floor. The same guy was standing there, he was a reptilian person with a cloth over his eyes, and swords criss crossing on his back. He hands the man back his ID, "You're allowed to come in." He points at the case. "What's in the case Mr. Balon?"
Balon smirks patting the steel case, "It's what I came here for, it's my offer, and my life's work after all. I treasure this with utmost importance. Now lead the way, me and your leader have much to discuss."
"Alright, this way." The reptilian man leads him down a long hallway where multiple doors are spotted on both sides. They come to the last one on the left, the reptilian man swinging the door open. On the couch sat a man dressed from head to toe in black, a tan coat over his shoulders, and red shoes. His hair was short, spikey, and a light bluish white color. His skin looked to have a dry look to it like leather almost, and he had hands all over his body. A bit morbid but Balon couldn't judge with what he himself has done in the past, and just recently.
"Here is Aton Balon sir, he says what he has to discuss is in the case." The reptilian tells this Shigaraki fellow. The room is bare except for that man and Shigaraki.
Shigaraki's scratchy but low voice vibrates through the room. "You may go Spinner, I would like to speak to him alone. Tell the others I'll inform them of the final results of this little meetup."
Spinner nods his head, walking out of the room leaving only the two of them alone. "So what is it you want from me? And what do I get out of this deal?" Shigaraki asks without a second thought.
Aton clears his throat, "First of all I'm hunting down a girl. She's from Romania just like me." He pulls out a profile after setting the briefcase on the table. He slides it across the table for the other to look through it.
"Daria Belgio." Shigaraki chimes in with an uninterested tone. "What's so special about this one?"
"She has something that I need to achieve my goals. It's her quirk, read through it." He unlocks the briefcase, opening it, and picking up a small vial. It was a baby blue color, with silver swirls in the liquid, that was like room temperature raw honey when it slid across the glass. "I need what her quirk produces, and I need a lot of it." He holds up the vial, "It's been my life's work to make a solution, a cure you could say to rid this world of quirk users. My father before me had been working on something, and taught me how to make it. But he just could never get it right, something always happened, something bad."
"This girl, her quirk freezes blood. Do you have a quirk?" The league of villains leader asked him to set the profile back down on the table.
"Yeah I do. I found out through my father's research before he passed away a few years ago, that in order to cure everyone of this disease they call a quirk, you would have to use quirks to cure quirks. For years my father couldn't find out the missing link in the solution, but about a couple of years ago. I came across this small cafe for a cup of coffee, the people were nice, and it had excellent service. The owner of the cafe, her name was Cheraline Belgio. The oldest sister to that Daria Belgio, but I came across Daria by pure luck. She was the one to serve me my coffee, she then went on her way when her oldest sister told her that she was to go up to her room because she had been suspended from school, and to catch up on some homework. I noticed some blue liquid on my cup close to finishing my coffee." He held up a small vial that barely had a pinch of some blue liquid, it was barely enough for a teardrop. "There was more but I collected it to do some research on it. When I mixed it with some of my solution, and tested it out, the solution worked like a charm."
"What do I get out of this?" Shigaraki asked him once more, pushing the question. "I'm not going to work for free. You have to pay or offer something to the table in order for us to start on the hunt."
Aton holds up a hand, "No you don't need to hunt in that sense. I know where she is, the sister tried to be secretive about it, but she's attending UA right now." He pulls out another profile, "I heard from a few years back that you have beef with an All Might, and his successor." He holds out his hand showing a number, "This is my quirk. I started out with 1000 on my palm, but everytime I use my quirk, I get sicker, and when it hits zero, I die. I have 4 tries left, if I manage to sicken All Might and his successor in a trap, then when I get Daria, I'll mass produce her quirk for my cure."
"What happens when you succeed in your goals? What of the girl?" The eyes of the other baring holes in Aton. He knew that he managed to reel in the leader.
"By the time I'm done with her, she would die from overuse. When I cure everyone of their disease, I'll cure myself, and then the world can be free of this disease. The hero society will fall and be no more. Society will be more equal, and the battlefield will be more fair game to the people that are looked down upon. Without quirks, society won't know what to do with itself, and the era of hero's will be no more." Aton detailed out, fascination shining throughout his eyes. He turns his eyesight to the leader, "In order for the cure to work, sacrifices have to be made! Don't you agree?"
"Tell me how did your father die? What exactly is the groundwork of your quirk?"
"Oh my father didn't understand the groundwork of my goal. He tried to stop me, he only wanted to take quirks away from the hero's, and I couldn't have that. So a sacrifice had to be made in order for me to get my hands on his work, and make it better." Aton said slowly, his eyes shining like a psychopaths. "My quirk works through touch or a spot of my choosing during a set up. It poisons the victims slowly, but at the same time I feel the sickness too. I don't care how shitty I have to feel in order to make those sacrifices, as long as the world is cleansed."
Shigaraki gazes up at the man, before holding up a hand. "I agree. We'll work together for the time being in order to achieve each other's goals. It's time for the mighty hero society to fall forever. We'll retrieve the girl, and your job is to retrieve All Might and his successor for us. Though I have to ask, why not target the girls sisters?"
Aton shakes his hand, leaning forward, "Well it's not that simple. I found out a few weeks ago that their family is protected by the port mafia in Yokohama. They used to work for them, the parents did in fact, but they were killed in action during a rival gang war 11 years ago when the oldest was only 13 years old. The only reason they weren't picked up by CPS, and taken into foster care was because the port mafia protected and forged documentation for the girls. But this is perfect, Daria isn't with her sisters anymore, so she'll be easier to get this way."
"Yokohama. Isn't that the place filled with ability users? Are these girls even quirk users?" Shigaraki replied, crossing his fingers, sucked into the conversation. "I don't imagine ability users would mingle with quirk users all that much."
"The two have never mixed, but the reason her power mixed so well with my solution is because she isn't a quirk user at all! She and her sisters are all ability users, but for someone that has never seen the work of an ability user, they would never be able to tell the difference!" Aton yells out, "I'm not an ability user, but I'm glad I'm not one! Everyone I've ever met in that wretched city of Yokohama thinks that I am one!"
"The last I checked, UA barred ability users from attending the school. Why is that?"
"That's because ability users don't have to go by the rules the hero society has set! They are exempt from those rules, the law can't touch them. I don't know how her oldest sister got her into that school, but she did a damn good job on making my job a thousand times easier." Aton told him, putting everything back where it was located in the briefcase, closing the item up, and locking it. "We'll start as soon as possible." He told Shigaraki with a sinister grin.
