Leivinia Birdway

It had been out a day since Touya Kamijou stayed in Academy City. Apparently whoever went to make this deal with him involving the company asked if they could meet him in a week or so. A deal that could make Securities Exchange Counter Measure Group have extra dough and possibly interesting Academy City tech. Naturally Touya couldn't pass up this opportunity. Recalling how those who made good deals with the city lived it rather nice. In his case though, it would secure the companies financial future.

"Now where is she." However as mentioned before the meeting was still over a week away. Meaning he had plenty of time to explore the city with his stay here being paid for. Sweet.

Of course his only problem being here is that he had no clue where anything actually is. Good thing he had Sara's number, the Gemstone girl he met just yesterday. As promised the two would meet so she could guide him around the city.

Sure Touya could have hired an actual guide, but saw no need to when someone else he knew could help.

He had left outside his hotel and is in District 3 of the city. Waiting at a simple nice fountain for Sara to come by and show him the place. Particularly District 7 where Touma's dorm is at.

Because now his phone was stating how he couldn't even find the number of his own son. Very strange.

"Ah. Mr. Kamijou." Hearing that familiar voice Touya turned around and saw Sara herself walking up to him. As she walked through Touya noticed many eyes-males the most-giving a good glance at the girl. He couldn't blame them considering what she wore.

A mini pleated skirt that showed off that smooth thigh skin, complemented by gray knee high white socks and some white heels. Shehad on a white blouse that revealed her shoulders and had straightened out her blonde hair. Basically put her outfit just seemed to attract the attention on her, even Touya.

"Ughhh!" Who then stopped looking feeling a very strange chill down his spine. He also felt certain it isn't from the glaring men who started jealousy at him. Sara of course is oblivious to the stares directed at her and just ran up to Touya with a smile on her face.

"Hello Mr. Kamijou, it is a pleasure." She then checked out a nearby clock and saw the time. "Not that i'm complaining, but weren't we supposed to meet at exactly 10:30. You're a bit early."

"I could say the same about you. Guess we both got up a bit early this fine morning, huh." Sara blushed a bit at the comment. Having actually planned to come here a bit sooner before him. This was fine to she supposed.

"Right. Um, shall we get going." Touya stood up from the fountain stretching a bit.

"Sure, let's go." With that the two then left the fountain square leaving it behind along with those stares. Though Touya could pretty much tell Sara and him were still being gazed upon. Not just because of Sara's own looks, but also because of how odd it was that she's paired with him. If he recalled his co-worker once stated he looked more like a chauffeur when being with his wife. Pretty sure that wasn't a compliment. Then again the guy was drunk also, hard to tell.

Either way the two enjoyed the sights that Academy City had to offer. Showing off the cultivated technology the city portrayed. Small machines that vacuumed up the city trash, a few unique phones, Touya even noticed some students showing off their power.

'Now that I think about it, Touma should be a level zero. But it might be possible for him to gain a power, right?' Touma had told him once on the phone about the different levels on the city. A type of hierarchy where the higher the level, the greater control and strength one had over their abilities.

Level zero being the absolute lowest where one had no power or just little to no control, where in contrast level five is the highest. Supposedly the equivalent of a nuclear bomb and have power that tops everybody else. A level that only seven have achieved.

Taking a glance at Sara, Touya recalled her stating that she was a level 3, so right in the middle more or less. Plus from how she used her powers back before she seemed to have a good grasp over them.

'Although, didn't that Misaka guy say she's some kinda Gemstone. I wonder what that means.' While Touya pondered these questions enjoying the sights, unknown to him and Sara, someone is watching them from afar.

A young girl who looked quite young but had flawless skin with no blemishes and blonde hair. Wearing an outfit many would assume makes her part of some fancy rich folk, evident by the man besides her wearing the suit. A young noble lady perhaps?

As for what she is doing currently, she had been walking around the fabled city of science, studying it up close. Many would think she was just touring around enjoying the sights, and they would be right. The purpose for her doing so though, is a bit of a mistake.

"Mark, have you put this down on the map." She asked her sla-helper. Helper.

"Yes ma'am. I have made certain to mark this area on the off chance we could use it as a hideout." The well dressed man said as he placed this area as possible hideouts along with others.

"Excellent. This place is definitely useful. Has focus but not much attention. If we were to use it then nobody would suspect a bunch of our members hiding their." As the saying goes, hide a tree in a forest of trees. The young girl glad to have found numerous ways to hide in the city.

Now, if many were wondering who this fine-possibly unstable-girl is, then first one must know her name. That name being one that brings both fear and respect. Leivinia Birdway.

The young but powerful leader of the magic cabal known as the Dawn Colored-Sunlight. Despite her age she is to be feared having gifts and knowledge that would make most men tremble before her. Many that challenge her being reduced to a mere shell of their former selves or just a wreck. Which is why that the more intelligent groups do their best to stay away from her, lest they suffer from her wrath.

"Now then," the young cabal leader said looking around the area. "What should I do-huh?"

Leivinia had been scouting around to see what areas she should mark as important when suddenly in her field of vision, she saw him. For a second she looked away and rubbed her eyes then checked back. Realizing she wasn't seeing a trick of the eye Leivinia gave her order.

"Mark, go look around for any other spots. I have...business to attend to." Business, Mark wasn't sure about that. His young slave driv-boss, boss….didn't have anything on schedule. Not to mention she always told him the majority of her plans, so what could possibly change that.

Still, an order is a order. With little to no choice Mark left the boss still unsure what caught her attention. Oh well, couldn't possibly be anything bad.

"And this here is one of Academy City's storage facilities for the Power Suits." Sara said giving Touya a view of the many powered down armored suits. Youya just whistling at the sight of it. He heard about these suits and the feats they could accomplish. Mighty impressive, the city of science truly did make wonders.

Currently Sara showed him some very interesting sights and explained as much as she knew about them. Their purpose, function, and how they worked. Youya won't lie, he wasn't dumb but the explanations Sara gave him made him feel so.

'I know Academy City is decades ahead of the world, but this is so much.' This made the elder father wonder how intelligent his son was in those topics like physics and the like. He heard Touma was having trouble with grades, but a check on the reports showed only through esper related courses. Everything else, touch and go.

"Oh, Mr. Kamijou," Sara said grabbing his attention, pointing at a nice cart serving ice cream." "Do you wish to have some. I'll even pay."

"That's alright, I can pay."

"No, no, I insist I pay."

"Don't worry, I have-"

"If neither of you wish for the other to pay, then why not allow me to." Hearing that youthful voice interrupt them, Sara and Touya turned around to see a cute refined looking girl smirking. Before they could even say anything, the young girl just went to the vendor and ordered some cones. In a matter of seconds she came back with some sweets for them all.

"Hope you two don't mind vanilla. Didn't know what you liked." The girl said taking a lick out of her strawberry flavored cone.

"Oh, no. No trouble at all."

"Likewise."

Touya and Sara said together grabbing the cones and decided to sit on the bench with the girl joining them. Taking their time eating them. Still, a questioned popped out of the two of them, mainly, who is this girl? Sara was the first to ask.

"Excuse me..miss. Mind me for saying but, who are you?" The girl just chuckled as she pushed aside some of her hair.

"My name is Leivinia Birdway, and you can call me a friend of sorts." Friend, she did seem nice. The two continued eating their cones while Birdway did the same. However she took glances at the elder father with gears in her head turning. Now that the two seemed calm it was time to ask.

"Excuse me kind sir, but I hope you don't mind me asking a question."

"Not a problem, what is it?" Touya asked unaware of the hidden motive Birdway had. Sara though seemed to have an inkling as she silently narrowed her eyes, but did nothing.

"Since I said my name, I was wondering what your name's were."

"I see. Well my name is Touya Kamijou, and this is Sara Yurino."

"I see." Checkmate. Leivinia had her suspicions, but she had been spot on assuming this man is the father of one Touma Kamijou. She couldn't be certain, however seeing his face from afar instantly reminded her of Touma. With the name he gave her, now she knew he's related.

'Which means I might get some points out of him.' Leivinia had plans to make Touma hers. Be it as a worker, or perhaps something more. In any case the young cabal leader felt certain she could capture him for her group.

However that damn idiot was so dense and stupid. Always saying the most idiotic things to get away from her. The nerve.

Sure Leivinia could just force him, but that wouldn't do. If anything that dense fool would just resist. However right now she was with the father of Touma. While many would first think to visit the mother, the father is just as important. If she showed him how kind and nice she is, then maybe Touma will come to her. With the father supporting the decision as well.

'Yes. This is the perfect plan.' Leivinia maliciously though with a smile. Although…..a small quick glance at the side revealed the girl Sara also glancing at her. 'Does she perhaps suspect my plan, or is it something else?'

As a top mage Leivinia had access to many things, including certain files on the boy Touma. What his school records state, medical, dental, friends, what things he purchased-best to keep all these things hidden-and so much more. Yet despite all the intel she had on the boy, Birdway had little to none on the father.

An oversight she would have to correct later on, especially since she had no clue what the father is like. This girl especially being an enigma to her plan. Sara as she calls herself, could possibly derail her plan for Touya, ruining any showcasing of good will in front of him.

'I need to know her relationship with the boy's father. Best to lean in with a question.' Taking another lick, the ever planning Birdway turned facing Touya with another question, one asked so innocently he wouldn't possible suspect her at all.

"Excuse me Mr. Kamijou," She said with such a cute face that many would fall for. "But I was wondering, who is this girl and what's her relationship with you?"

"Sara?" Touya said looking back on Sara who seemed a bit flustered. "She's just a good friend I helped a while back."

Helped huh?

"I see. What kind of help did you giver her?" The girl then looked away, but Birdway could see her blushing cheeks.

"Nothing special. Just some assistance with some men."

"Got it." Birdway then stood up. "In any case I must leave, however I would be glad if you could take this." From her pocket Leivinia took out a small business card that had the words Dawn Colored-Sunlight on it. Handing it to him. "I can see potential in you. Perhaps we can make a deal another time."

"Deal?" Touya asked confused taking a good look at the card.

"Let's just say I have connections to a group. Maybe we can work out a beneficial relationship." A relationship that will allow the boy to be hers after all. While the father didn't seem to convinced, he didn't show any signs of disapproving of the idea at all. It may take time, but Birdway can slowly gain his trust.

"In any case I believe I'll meet you again. Good-bye for now." With those words Leivinia left with a full blown grin. Plan success. Now she can start getting to work on gathering some intel on him. This way the next time they met, Leivinia had more cards to play and what words that can persuade him into the deal.

After all even her cabal made deals with non-magic groups. Not many of course, but there was no harm in it.

Leivinia then took one last look at the father, then at the girl.

'Heh, saved her huh. Really is the boy's father.' With those last thoughts Birdway vanished from their view to get back to work.

As for Touya, he just put the card away for now. He didn't know what connections this girl had to this Dawn Colored-Sunlight group, but it was best to assume maybe she was the daughter of some man who's part of it. Either way, Touya's business instincts told him they'd undoubtedly meet again.

In any case, this is another problem for another day. Best not to think about it for now until she returned.

"Now then." Touya said taking the finishing bite out of his cone now gone. "Should we continue moving on?"

Sara glanced around, seeing that Birdway girl is gone. She wasn't sure why, but she had strange feelings coming from her. Maybe her imagination, yet she'd continue keeping her guard up. Until then though, she also finished the rest of her cone and got up.

"Of course. Shall I take you to the nearby bowling alley. I hear it's fun."

"It has been a while. Sure, why not." With that the two left and finished the rest of the day bowling. Unaware of the next person they would be meeting tomorrow. This one being a bit dark.

And so ends this meeting. Now that our young cabal boss has met Touya, she's going to make certain she comes across as the right girl for Touma. And what better way than gaining approval from the father. Maybe her sister will meet up with him. Until then, I'll be making the next person Touya meets. Can you take a guess who? Until next time.
