"A moment of relaxation"

That same day Silver was transferred to the UA facilities, the hedgehog was amazed by the campus he had never seen anything like this in his life (partly thanks to the fact that in the apocalypse everything was in ruins) and he was really fascinated with everything. Of course, this whole process was done as discreetly as possible as the media hoped to get a lot more information about Silver in general.

So his stay here was really super secret, so no one should see him, especially the students, therefore he was in a building away from them. So he wasn't going to make a problem of that. Silver had to admit that this hero school thing sounds cool and weird even though he really prefers not to get involved in any way. He has more urgent and higher priority things to pay attention to.

The place where it is located provides you with a comfortable bed and a bathroom where you can bathe and maintain your personal hygiene and although it would seem that people who live in an apocalyptic world do not care about hygiene, they are wrong about that ... and more considering that he hadn't been able to shower since he came to this world.

"Mr. Nezu is someone kind enough to give me at least these comforts and very understandable, he believed me in everything I said when others would have taken me for crazy"

Silver couldn't help but remember the talk he had yesterday with the talking animal in a suit, it helped him a lot to understand this world better. His society worked almost perfectly, but there are always some flaws.

 "I must say I'm impressed young Silver, you've been through a lot of terrible things and still stand your ground above everything. You have a strong heart" Director Nezu said as he walked beside Silver. The director was quite fascinated not only to see an intelligent animal like him but that he was also a being from another dimension as things indicate. Despite what was said, Silver could not help but feel that it was not entirely true, he hesitated in his mission and could do nothing to save his friend from a destiny that was not his, and that was always going to haunt him and possibly eat him up until the end of his days.

"I would like to think that everything I have done has been worth it, living in fear is not life. And I wanted to change all that. I wanted to fight to have a better life not only for myself but for everyone else." Silver stopped for a second to look at Nezu with a big smile. "Lord Nezu, his world represents everything I fight for in my future, a blue sky with white clouds ... seas full of life and people can walk happily and have a good life!" Nezu smiled at the young hedgehog's enthusiasm and positivity, he reminded her of some of the students of him.

"You are a young hero Silver, anyone can have power and use it for his benefit. But someone with a pure heart like yours prefers to help others rather than himself. That is synonymous with heroism."

Silver liked those words, but he knew that he had not always taken the correct measures at the time, like what happened with Sonic.

"Mister Nezu..can you ask a question?" At this the rodent raised an eyebrow but giving him a nod of approval. "If to save the world you need to end the life of a single person ... What decision would be the right one to make?"

 At that moment Nezu had stopped. That was a difficult question to answer, and instantly he could tell that from the face of the boy next to him this was more than a question an anecdote. For a child to have to make a decision of that caliber, skill and mental toughness are required. And that was something that very few people had, but the simple fact that a child had to make the decisions that correspond to adults does not please him at all.

"That question has a very complicated but at the same time simple answer, in fact, nobody should have to deal with something like that." The director took a sip of his tea to continue. "... No wrong answer."

This shocked Silver himself, he expected a resolution similar to his that was more about the good in general than that of a single individual. Or something more morally correct.

"The decision you make will always have some repercussion or reaction, young Silver, in your position it is okay to take that life. After all. Living in a world like yours is horrible right? You are obviously not taking the easy way out. We are talking about A better opportunity for life on the planet and by not taking that person's life is not bad either, we can continue fighting for a better life with the hope that everything will be better, it will be difficult if, but nothing in this life is given away and we would not have to stain that future with the blood of that life that was snatched, be it good or bad "

Silver understood what he meant, every action has its reaction. Benefit and consequence, he had already made his decision back then. And despite being deceived ... What would have happened if Mephiles didn't lie?

Those were questions that he might never know the answers to from him, and maybe it's better that way. The past is the past, and I cannot leave my feet nailed there whenever I have to deal with these kinds of situations, I need to start walking towards the future. It may be uncertain what happens from now on, but I will follow this path with my head held high. I am determined to that!

Silver had already finished with his personal hygiene, the feeling of being clean felt very good and now he was leaving his room, he was curious to see more of the complex and although they told him not to go they did not forbid him anything about it about exploring, so there are probably no problems ... or so wait.

Silver left the room with the clothes he had stolen, of course, he never said this to the authorities or anything so that the problems do not increase. Although inside his mind he kept wondering seriously what was wrong with walking without her, both in the future and in the past people did not find it uncomfortable or anything so he really does not see the sense that here they take the need with great importance of clothing.

Leaving that aside, Silver walked through the hallways of the facilities, he knew that he was in an academy and that was why he opened students. Which surely the professors do not want them to interact with Silver, possibly because they considered him dangerous and for a society where 90% are superhumans says a lot.

(This place is huge, you can tell they made an effort to create it ... but considering that it is a prestigious and recognized academy, it would be strange if it did not have all the comforts and stuff) ". He thought as he walked the hallways looking through the glass of the campus, certainly Silver would always be happy to see the grass and the presence of life in it. He really likes plant life very much, perhaps the root of this is that he never saw much or almost nothing of it in his future, but in the Soleana of the past and present and even on this earth he had the opportunity to see much more and you will not miss the opportunity.

Silver are so absorbed in their thoughts that looking at the campus that he did not pay attention to the duo with whom he inevitably collided slightly abruptly at a crossroads that led to another location.

"Oh boy I'm so sorry!" He expressed the hedgehog to the individuals he collided with, he was a tall young man with blond hair of a large muscular build holding a small girl in her arms who seemed to have a horn on the right side of her head. .

"Don't worry it was also my fault for not paying attention." The blond boy said keeping his honest smile and then looking at the girl in her arms. "Are you okay Eri-chan?"

The little girl just looked at him and nodded and then looked a little nervous at Silver, but when she saw her appearance, her eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Big teddy!". The girl shouted with emotion, for her the shape of the hedgehog was that of a giant stuffed animal like the ones she had seen at the festival.

Silver just smiled as he tilted his head a little confused by what the little girl said, the tenderness that he expressed in every second did not allow him to kill the moment. Or at least not until Mirio interrupts everything by asking him something.

"Hey, I've never seen you around here and you're not wearing the UA uniform, you're not a student right?" The ex-user of caprice asked curiously.

Hearing him say that Silver got a little nervous, no student was supposed to know that he was here. But soon those nerves noticed that the blonde in front of him wasn't wearing school clothes either. "Not really, I'm here because they're giving me asylum for saying it in some way, and seeing as you don't wear the uniform, you're not a student either, aren't you?" That last thing he said made Mirio show him a slight frown of melancholy, which made Silver instantly regret what he said, he was going to apologize but Mirio spoke first, partially explaining things to him.

"In fact I am a student, but for circumstantial reasons I can no longer continue studying." He says in a blunt tone while Eri looks at him with a feeling of sadness and guilt.

Seeing all this, Silver decides not to delve too much into the subject and changes the atmosphere with an idea that came to him to raise his spirits and forget what happened.

"Hey I just got here yesterday and since you know the place better ... do you think if you show me the campus?" He would say proposing the idea to him.

"Oh! That sounds great, I'll show you the best places in the UA academy!" The blond boy would say with the spirits returned giving Silver a big honest smile.

"(It gives off a lot of positivity and energy, it reminds me of someone ...)"

"Oh and by the way could you explain your situation to me more!" That last thing said by him made Silver regret things a bit, forming a bead of sweat on his forehead.

The phosphorescent and neon glow lights were the only light sources that illuminated everything, some rats came and went in the area but the people there were already used to them so they went about their business while a hooded figure continued on its way. the place that had jobs where some fingers or members of the embalmed human body were sold, one would seriously wonder in what kind of place businesses of this kind would take place.

Well, only on the black market, more specifically in the underworld where you could find what you need. Do you want a liver? You got it, do you need someone to get rid of some asshole who doesn't listen to you? all that kind of things you will find at the right price of course.

The market is never in one place, to avoid that the authorities arrive and ruin everything there are different facilities around the globe; and this was one of them, right in Greece. This was where more activity and much more quality of things you need you could find.

And the hooded man knew it, only here he could find what he needs. someone who could help him find a certain low-quality knockoff of himself and, incidentally, someone he had recently met after certain catastrophic events.

The short hooded figure entered a place that was known for its great quality in finding information about people about everything, and also if you needed to find someone ... if you could pay for it of course.

When trying to enter the figure was stopped by some guys with a robust and muscular complexion, one had characteristics of a bull with all and horns being its appearance almost equal to that of a minotaur from legendary stories while the other had a more human appearance leaving her skin is scaly but at the same time crystalline like a diamond.

"Stop there little man you can't go through like that, you need to cover the fee." The bovine man said putting an arm between the hooded man and the entrance.

"You can't exactly get in if you cover the fee hahaha." He said as the first guard's partner laughed.

The figure only showed the contents that he hid in under his great cloak, it was a large travel bag but as soon as he closed the closure the eyes of the guards lit up greatly when he saw its contents so much so that he could not resist wanting to cheat the little man in front of them.

"I see you've got that covered, but that's just the entry price little man. But we'll make you an offer on the special." The bovine man said as he showed a greedy smile.

"We will keep your money safe until I get back with the money for work!" Complete the scaly man sharing a smile with his partner as he went to put his hand on the shoulder of the hooded man.

One would say that these guys perfectly embodied brute force, especially being brute. Because without waiting another second before being touched by the second guard, the hooded being left his cloak in a black and red blur, positioning himself behind both men.

"What that! -".

"Careful! -".

Those were the last words they said before they were easily knocked out with a quick but really strong blow to the head causing them to fall to the ground in less than a second in which the figure quickly took up their cloak so that no one else could observe their form. and he continued on, entering the building, descending a spiral staircase where he was greeted by many automatic weapons pointed at him.

"Wow, I really thought those guys would stop trying to fool customers, I guess sooner or later this was going to happen." He would say the figure of a man between 20 and 30 years old who wore glasses and dressed in comfortable but quite expensive clothes. "That's why I prefer machines, they really know how to do their job ... but first of all I would like to know who is the person who comes to my workplace. Someone from an organization I know or an undercover officer?"

The hooded figure took off the cloak that covered it, revealing the body of a black hedgehog with intense red stripes at the tips, it had gloves with gold rings on the wrists that were also on the ankles with some whose design was difficult to recognize . It was a shadow ... Shadow to the hedgehog.

"I don't belong to any of them, I came because I heard that you are good at finding people and I need you to find people." He said dryly going to the point of opening the bag revealing 20 gold bars and some high quality diamonds, Shadow had wasted no time.

The man who saw this knew that the person in front of him was not ordinary, so he shouldn't take it lightly. I order one of the robots to take the bag and then scan it and thus verify that it was real content and not fake.

"Very good, the content was verified ... now give me their names and I will do the rest."

"Sonic and Silver the Hedgehog".

The man in front raised an eyebrow, it was the first time he heard names like that, normally he heard them as nicknames but having a surname that literally translates as hedgehog was something weird although I did not delve much into that while he was still on the map of the world that he had and As he took a pen, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his hands began to trace on the map for a minute until he finally marked two locations with the pen.

"I could only accurately locate one of the people you were looking for, the other was constantly on the move so I couldn't find the exact address." He would tell the man as he puts a hand on his head for a migraine from trying to locate Sonic.

"Is he supposed to think what you just did really work?" The black hedgehog really thought they were playing a bad joke on him.

"Calm down, my Quirk allows me to track a person no matter where they are on the planet, if the person is still alive, of course ... if he has passed away, it will be impossible for me to track him."

Shadow was really trying to understand this world where humans have evolved to get these kinds of abilities, but it was still difficult.

"Anyway, tell me the location that you did manage to get."

"Musutafu, Japan".

Hearing that, Shadow frowned a bit, he was far away as far as he knew and it would take time to get there. but first of all he thought he should find Sonic before he attracted much attention and knowing him he is doing it now.

"About the other person, despite moving, do you have a clear idea of ​​his last location?"

"Hmm ... the last thing I could register was that he was in North America, right on Mount Rushmore; I managed to locate him because he stopped for a few moments but then moved again."

With that said Shadow got ready to move, he knew it was Sonic since he always keeps moving and doesn't stay in one place for long, and if he was in America he would surely find him. Until then, the search for Silver was going to have to wait since he trusts more in the judgment of the youngest of the group than in Sonic's. But before he left he turned his head a little to look directly at the man in front of him with an intense gaze.

"If the information you gave me is wrong, I myself will make sure that you will have a worse time than what happened to the useless ones above."

And with that said, the older hedgehog disappeared in a flash, leaving the place and the man was somewhat terrified by the hedgehog's gaze. Although in his line of work he has to deal with people like that, the look of that hedgehog left him quite uneasy.

Meanwhile in the principal's office I was in a discussion about where Silver would stay, although UA was thought to be the best option because there are many heroes at the moment, the simple fact of mentioning the students was a factor that involved a lot in the matter, Director Nezu was sure of that now that he was talking to the HPSC president.

"Director Nezu, we fully understand what he means, but we believe that we can better support the creature than you at UA." The president spoke without showing signs of giving up on her request, she wanted to have Silver under her jurisdiction, but Nezu has refused to do so.

"Do not forget that this creature" creature "is also a presiding person, who is able to speak and feel like me, I understand that he believes that you will support young Silver better than us. But he has not shown signs of aggressive behavior and he feels comfortable here. "Nezu would say.

Silver did not know but there were problems with the decision that he was in UA, he caught the attention of the heroes safety commission and they are usually very insistent, since they saw the videos of how Silver handled the fire rescuing people and how he. He took it upon himself to make a fool of heroes in their attempts to apprehend him when he was just a 14-year-old, they knew he had found another potential agent like Hawks.

For their part, they continued to think that Silver was not really a being from another dimension, after all, it is easy for someone to make someone else think something different and believe it to be true. They had the theory that Silver was raised that way or suffered some trauma and locked himself in his own imaginative world where he is part of a post-apocalyptic world and that is why the Quirk of Naomasa did nothing. And the truth is that with a theory it should make a lot of sense if it weren't for the gems that Silver was wearing.

Although they are still willing to do more. They not only wanted Silver to control him but to have him under control claiming that they would give him psychological treatment to help him with his supposed trauma. They were in charge of the security and control of the heroes and the young hedgehog was clearly not one, but his potential to be a very great one was there.

"We understand that, but we would still like to take it to our facilities from time to time to do some tests and trials." The director claimed

"What kind of tests." Said the director with a fixed gaze.

"I assure you that nothing harmful and harmful, physical tests to verify the extent of their capabilities and incidentally a medical examination just in case. All this to determine the level of danger it represents."

Nezu wanted to discuss about that, the UA facilities were more than capable for tasks like this. But he knew the power that the commission wields so the best thing he can do at this point is to minimize everything they want to do with it and verify that they do not attempt anything that would harm the child's safety.

"Ok that sounds good, but let it be clear that his stay will continue to be here, Madam President and I will also be present at the tests."

"If this is the case, we have a deal, have a nice day, Director Nezu and I will tell you about the day the child will be brought in for tests." She would say they end their meeting like this by disconnecting the video call.

"But what a woman, it shows that giving up is not part of her vocabulary or mentality, as one would expect from the president of the hero safety commission."

Now only Nezu needed to organize some things. Between them, organize a test and a combat to see for yourself the abilities of the child to know more about him and to know the level of danger from him in case something happens.

Silver appreciated that in the time he was on the tour nothing bad happened, although he managed to invent something so that his story would not sound suspicious, he still had to work on it. Perhaps Mr. Nezu had something planned regarding his story about why he is here and thus avoid suspicion but seeing how things are going sooner or later the truth will be known and he hopes that the situation at that time is not very bad.

Other than that, he was quite in awe of all areas of the campus. For example, he thought to himself that it was not bad at all what the training place looked like. He wouldn't mind practicing there at least once.

"So you were affected by a teleportation Quirk and now you're lost and out of memory huh? I'm so sorry about your situation friend." Mirio would say looking at Silver with some pity.

"Okay, you don't have to feel sorry for me, I know I'll find my ... my ...". He got stuck thinking about something, could he tell that Sonic and Shadow are his friends? after so many things he did wrong ... he really didn't think he deserved his friendship even though Sonic seemed very forgiving of the ending, but now he needs to think of something and he could only think of one thing. "My brothers, yes, brothers ... wherever they are I know they are out there looking for me"

That would probably have been the only good idea he had for this situation, not only because in terms of species all 3 belong to the same species. But this would go a long way toward creating a story. Maybe not the most compelling, but the one that would make the most sense once the 3 were together.

"You must have very good siblings, but ... Why are they only looking for you? Your parents must be crazy looking everywhere right?" Mirio asked with a raised eyebrow as he continued to carry little Eri on her shoulders, it was obvious that she really liked being up there.

On the part of him, Silver froze in that instant, he didn't know what to say about his father. He never thought much about it, he never met his own because of the apocalypse stuff. But he put those ideas aside while he tried to think of one and it didn't take long to find it.

"Our ... parents passed away, I never met them because he was very young, so I have no recollection of any of them." All of that was a lie wrapped in truth if he was honest. But still, the hedgehog's sad frown was at least convincing.

"I'm so sorry, if I had known, I wouldn't have mentioned it." Mirio was very sorry to ask that.

"Okay, I never met them so I don't have much to feel about it." He honestly smiled at the older boy as they resumed their tour. "My older brother Shadow was ... tough, but in the end he always cared about us, so he tried very hard to help us with Sonic, my other brother."

"Silver, Shadow and Sonic ... Mm, you guys have weird names. So what region of Japan are you from?"

"Oh, we are not from Japan ... rather we are from another continent, America to be exact."

"Wow, I've never been to America. But I'd be glad to go one day, what do you think Eri-chan, would you like to go to America too?"

The red-eyed girl just looked at him with a big smile "If it's with Mirio I'll go anywhere."

Silver and Mirio's hearts melted upon hearing Eri's response, it had already been a while since she finished her tour and now they were sitting on a bench resting. Silver was not impressed with UA.

"I must thank you Mirio, the tour was great."

"You're welcome Silver, if you need to know something about UA or talk to someone in your time here you can count on me and Eri-chan."

"I liked ... meeting you Silver." Eri says a little shy, on her trip Silver showed them what was hers Quirk of hers and as proof of her she made Eri fly slowly around Mirio, which made the girl very happy.

"Thank you both, I hope to see you next time and maybe-".

"OE!"

Silver could not finish his sentence because he heard the low cry or mixed with a bit of annoyance from someone he recognized well, he turned his head to see that the source of that voice was none other than Aizawa Shota who seemed very annoyed with the Red eyes looking at him and his scarf ready moving around his neck and this is because Silver went out without anyone's supervision and had to cut off half his class to go look for him around the facility.

"S-Lord Aizawa!" The young man gasped when he saw how irritated the man in front of him was.

"Could you tell me why you left without warning?" He would say that showing his anger in his eyes, it really bothers him to have to deal with children.

"Well I'm so sorry, I really didn't want to stay in the room all day and I was thinking of taking a little tour and coming back, but I didn't realize that I was gone for a long time." Said the hedgehog very shyly.

"... You still can't go out unsupervised."

Mirio, hearing this, decided that it was his turn to lighten the punishment of her new friend.

"Easy Mr. Aizawa, he was with us all the time and did not do anything abnormal, in fact Eri-chan likes him very much." He would end up letting see how the girl actually smiled shyly at Mr. Aizawa as he nodded to say. "I-it was a lot of fun."

Seeing this, Aizawa could only sigh as he calmed down, if nothing bad happened with those two with him at that moment he wasn't going to worry much. But he was still upset by the boy's actions.

"Okay, but don't think you'll get away with it so easily. Come with me, NOW." He would say that he turns around and begins to walk away from the group.

Silver could only sigh a little calm at that "Ok ...". He started following Aizawa as he turned to say goodbye to the new friends he had made since he arrived here. "Thank you very much Mirio, Eri. See you!".

"Bye Silver! And remember ... POWEEEEER!" He would say that he finishes his signature phrase just as Eri says goodbye by waving her hands.

"S-See you later!" She yells at the girl as she watches Silver go, but her smile fades as soon as she sees Silver's shadow or rather shadows. There seemed to be two on either side of him, hers and one looked different ... almost as if it were another ...

"Well Eri, how about we go see Nejire and Tamaki?" Mirio's voice snaps her out of her thoughts.

"Uh? Sure, I want to see Nejire! She said smiling at Mirio as he lifted her up again, but while carrying her on her shoulders Eri turned her head to see Silver again and looked back at his shadow, now she had not two, only Silver's. Open imagined that? In spite of everything I felt a chill at the thought of the shape of that shadow again and I could only hug Mirio's head a little tighter who took this Action so he thought of Chisaki again but the truth was that who he was was someone much ... much worse.

It seems that Silver has an unexpected or unwanted visitor, and Shadow is wasting no time. Will the hedgehogs get together in time?

Hello everyone, I hope and these months have been much better than me, and first of all I would like to thank the followers of my story. your support really inspires and helps me a lot! But above all I appreciate your patience and I am very sorry for the delay, I know I said that I would upload the chapter about 4 months ago but many things have happened in my life and I had to prioritize some things over others.

Now, regarding the time it will take to update the next chapter, for now I am concentrating on writing and publishing the next chapter of my second fanfic "Mission: Escape from the ninja world" given what they asked me to do, if you haven't read it yet. Go check it out!

Another point I wanted to talk about is that it will take me much longer to publish the chapters due to the situation my country is currently going through. As a Colombian I fear for my life and that of my family and friends, I hope and things improve, with nothing more to say until next time!
