A young man in suit ran as fast as he could through a long corridor, his sweat-covered forehead reflecting the light of the leds panels on the ceiling.
When he reached a finely carved wooden door, he quickly rearranged his hair and put his tie back in place before knocking.
"What is it? I asked not to be bothered."
"I apologise sir, but you must absolutely see this!"
The only answer he received was the door opening, revealing a spacious office. One of the wall was covered with dozens of screens showing heroes reports from missions and several news channels from different cities around the globe, in the centre a larger screen showed a map of the continent interspersed with flickering red pinpoints.
After quickly bowing to greet the imposing cleft-chinned man sitting in a large leather chair behind his glass desk, the worker typed at an impressive speed on the tablet he was carrying before swiping in the direction of the central screen. A second later, it was showing the video of a security camera in T-city.
"Would you care to explain?" The director grunted, tired of waiting. He was not in the habit of being held out of the loop, especially by those who worked under him.
The worker turned around, a proud smile now across his face. He exclaimed
"We think we found a video of the Subject B defeating monsters and saving a victim!"
"Really? How are you sure it's him? The only intel we have about him is his incommensurate power and the shine of his bald head!" Agoni was now standing up, looking at the screen, then back at the worker in disbelief.
The young man frowned before answering
"To be honest here... We're not. But please watch this." Pressing a button, the man started the video.
At first nothing happened. The night was calm and there was even a couple wandering in the streets holding hands. But a few moments later the two suddenly froze, before crying for help and running away from a threat out of the camera's range.
Soon after, the monster came into view apparently dragging something that the low quality of the security camera didn't allow the viewers to identify.
The monster slowly neared the camera, but they abruptly stopped when a bald man in a black hoodie and jeans seemed to simply appear out of nowhere just in front it.
After a moment of hesitation and what looked like chatter, the monster began a short fight with the man before being annihilated with remarkable speed. The man then stood and look at the rubble left by the monster.
"The problem is, this is where the video ends. Every nights at a precise hour, all the cameras of each town shut down for 0.01 second to check they're all functional and not broadcasting a loop or anything."
"I know that, I decided of the hour myself! And I also remember they resume filming right away!"
"You are right, of course, but when it started filming again, this is what it showed" The man typed some keys on his tablet and another video showed on the screen. This was exactly the same road, the blood was still splattered on the floor, and only a hundredth of a second passed... But it was empty. The man and the pile of junk on the floor were gone.
"How is this possible? Even flashy flash can not reach such speeds!" Agoni was staring at the screen, his jaw hanging in bafflement.
"This is what lead us to believe this individual is the subject B. Incredible power and speed, and a bald head."
The director slowly nodded, deep in thoughts. A few moments later he reverted back to his manager behaviour and began asking questions, already sending instructions to employees.
"Do we have any ideas of where he could have gone?"
"We are currently running a facial analysis to see if he is already in our databases, but we probably won't have the results before a few hours, and considering the quality of the image I doubt we'll have anything relevant, sir." The worker also started typing on his tablet, checking the progress of his team.
Agoni paced over to the window, casting a gaze over the city. He couldn't refrain a smile from creeping on his lips. "Well, it looks like for the first time in 20 years we have a new lead on the subject B!"
As he sat back at his desk, he began thinking of something including a green haired esper.
"Tell your team to find this being's exact location and call a meeting with the entirety of S-class and Sitch. I have a new plan"
A/N Wow this is even shorter than the first one… I suck at this x) However I have a lot of idea so the next one should be faster to write ! Sorry for the wait too. Hope you still like it!I have a few details I'd like to talk about so this might be a long A/N, sorry...First, a huuuuuuge thank to those who liked, followed, and even more, reviewed the story! To the guests, I can't pm you so I thank you here ;)
Particular thanks to the guest who pointed out Saitama's sudden change of outfit between chapters! That's what happens when you use old stuff without comparing it to the other chapters !
About the story, I want to specify something. There will only be minor angst and sadness.I aim to make a feel good, happy , I don't yet know whether there will be love stories, as I'm really bad at describing feelings…If I do couples it'll only be male/female. I'm not homophobic (homophobia sucks) but I can't see the guys as anything else than friends and the main females characters are either sisters (Tatsumaki/Fubuki), underage (lily is something like 14) or just way too weird for me x) (mosquito girl, the sm one…) So yeah, only hetero couples.I think that's it for this a/n, sorry again for the length of this chapter and the lack of action, but it was kinda needed (see it as the first part of the next chapter if you want :p) Have a good day!
Edit : I, so yeah I'm reviewing every chapter, fixing some things, still not a good fic tho haha. Didn't feel right to erase the previous A/N, feels kind of like a journal to me, in a way.
