Chapter 8

Chronostasis looked over at his prey from his spot behind the magazine rack doing his best to hide his signature hair. At first, he had just been on his way to tie up a loose end for Dornkirk when he had spotted Giran the thieving bastard who had swept in and taken over much of Kai's business after his arrest walking with a mystery woman into the apartment building. Judging from the distance the broker kept from her and the way she moved it was obvious that this woman was not the man's lover which meant that she was either someone important to him or a villain.

It had taken a lot of persuading from Hari but eventually he had gotten Issac to postpone his assassination of the blind man in favour of finding out what Giran was up to. After many unslept nights spying in apartments through balcony windows Hari finally had his answer.

Dabi, the cremation using powerhouse from the League of Villains was just living a secluded life right under the nose of every hero in the city. The irony of the city that trained the next generation of heroes not being able to find such an infamous one in their own backyard was not lost on the yakuza.

But never in his time stalking the woman looking for a chance to get revenge on her and her whole disgusting group did Hari ever think that he would be given an even greater opportunity like he was right now.

Eri, the main ingredient of realizing Kai's dream here, in Musutafu. Hari almost couldn't believe it when he had first seen her walking around one of the aisles looking for a book alive, intact and most importantly … alone.

It seems that the girl had wandered away whatever hero or guardians were supposed to be watching her so Chronostatis had seen it as an opportunity to see if he could take back the important research ingredient that had been lost when the heroes had raided the Shie Hassaikai's headquarters.

But Eri had somehow seen or sensed him coming and had run away in fear before Hari could get close enough to use his quirk on her.

The former assistant to Overhaul had casually torn through the bookstore doing his best to avoid suspicion when he had found both of his targets together. It took all of his restraint not to use his quirk on the pair and capture them instead of letting the scientist take over and observe.

Eri was smiling and chatting happily to Dabi, and calling her Rei for some reason, well talking about cats. To Hari's surprise though Dabi was talking back just as enthusiastically to Eri and patting her head affectionately a few times like they were mother and daughter, or sisters given what he and Overhaul had estimated Dabi's age to be.

Hari had continued following the pair for a while heading downstairs to the ground level so that the villain wouldn't sense she was being followed. That's when he saw the hero who had defeated his best friend talking to a boy with purple hair and knew that this couldn't be a coincidence.

Three people he hated most in the world were all gathered under one roof, if only Mimic had lived and been able to escape with him. Between the pair, they could recapture Eri, punish the hero who had taken down Overhaul and been one step closer to destroying the League of Villains and Tomura Shigaraki.

*Ring* *Ring*

Sighing Hari ducked behind the magazine aisle and answered his mobile. "What?"

"Don't take … that tone with me … Chronostais," an old voice wheezed on the other end. "Have you … captured … the woman?"

"I told you this is going to be harder than you think," the yakuza seethed grinding his teeth together to stop himself from yelling at Dornkirk. "This isn't just any woman, she's powerful, almost as powerful as her Boss."

"Either … capture her soon … or leave," the former business mogul ordered. "I … have no use … for Overhauls …. useless dogs, …. your just … as worthless …. as he was."

Hari felt his blood freeze as the old man mentioned Kai, his boss and best friend. The last time he had seen him was when he had been standing no more then two feet in front of him eyes devoid of life as he muttered Shigaraki's name over and over again. Kai hadn't even seemed to notice when some surprising supporters of their research had paid a visit to their cells to negotiate a deal with him for the top three members of the Shie Hakkaikai to escape. Hari and Joi had immediately jumped on board with the plan hoping that they could snap their boss be alright when it came time to leave.

Oh, how wrong they had been.

Everything had been going fine in the escape until some trigger-happy guard had thrown flash bang grenade into the hallway triggering Kai's trauma. The yakuza had immediately been caught up in the and dropped to the floor; Mimic had tried to help his boss continue their bid to freed but was shot and killed. Only Hari had escaped, sometimes he would even still wake up at night hearing Kai's screams of horror as his friend slammed the remainder of his arms into the concrete now covered in Joi's blood.

Hari had soon made his way to Issac Dornkirk house just an hour outside of Hosu when he was certain no heroes were following him. The old man having owed Kai a debt that Hari had cashed in on from when they had hidden him after the CEO's own crimes had come to light. But now it seems that the old man's usefulness was coming to an end, which was good news for Hari since he couldn't stand the man.

"Perhaps your right," Chronostasis spoke looking around the corner and at the group coldly. "I have other work right now that requires my attention."

"Good."

With that single word, the phone call ended and Hari started planning his next move.

Not taking Giran's life outside that dirty apartment building had been the best decision Hari ever made. Now he finally had some real leads for finding the League of Villains so that he could make them pay for what they had done to Shie Hakkaikai.

Although his new employers were still in the dark about his discovery Hari was confident that with time, and a few of the tricks Kai had taught him about torture he could make Dabi tell him about where he could find Tomura Shigaraki and the rest of the League.

More importantly, if he played his cards right the Hero Commission might even give Eri back to him along as a sign of good faith for the research they wanted him to do along with his number two target, Izuku Midoriya.

*Notes*

Chronostasis was arrested at the end the Shie Hassaikai arc but I needed a villain for later chapters and he was the best person I could come up with that was not apart of the current arc, though Genten was a close second, from another series or an OC.

Plus, that creepy scientist vibe of his really works with what I have planned and seeing how Overhaul is now locked in Tartarus, no sympathy from me for what happened to him by the way along with Endeavor and Kotaro Shimura he is one of the top characters in the series I will never forgive unless they die in some grand sacrifice and for one of them that's NEVER going to happen.

The poll is still happening by the way on gender Boys vs. Girls.

Lastly, don't forget to feed the writer with your reviews, not only do they make me happy seeing what everyone thought about the chapter but they have also had the scientifically proven result of making me write and post new chapters.
