Chapter One

"Justice is not something that you can express in words." Tousen Kaname

It had been just as Hachiman said, they would not turn down someone with a reservation. The waiter who now was at their table was clearly shaking in his boots. Clearing his throat and clearly trying his best to swallow his fear he asked Hachiman "M-may I take your o-order?"

Komachi was the first to respond in a rather cheerful upbeat manner asking "I'm not sure what I should get, could you recommend what I should get."

The waiter now replied "I-I can r-recommend the D-d-daily S-special miss?"

Grinning Hachiman said "I'll take take the classic Fish and Chips and the lovely lady here will have some Carrot Hot Pot."

With those words said the waiter furiously jotted down the order so he could put as much distance between himself and the Pro Hero as possible. "Y-your order will be along s-hortly, a-any drinks?"

Komachi cheerfully stated "I'll have Lemon Lime and Bitters."

Hachiman now commented "A minor's Lemon Lime and Bitters no spirits, the lovely lady will take some Carrot Vodka. I myself will have a Cigar and a Large glass of Ararat Cognac."

In the regards to his own choice in drink the waiter said "B-but, b-but, b-but, but s-sir, t-there are other brands of Brandy and w-we, w-we c-can't s-serve y-you a c-cig-!"

Whatever else he was going to say was cut off now as a man in a finely pressed white suit appeared saying "The Drinks are on the house boy, now write it down and bring them back here on the double. Also in case you you've yet to be briefed Mr Hikigaya is a Club Member so he can have that cigar."

With the appearance of the man in white, the waiter almost jumped out of his skin and jumped to it as it were. Ru now looked at the man in white and then to Hachiman "Is this guy a friend of yours Hiki?"

The man in white looked her in the eyes as he said "That's odd, I was about to ask him the same question, wait why do you call him Hiki?"

Ru looked at the man in white before telling him "Hiki and I are in a relationship so it is only natural that we use affectionate terms for each other."

Raising an eyebrow the man in white looked now to Hachiman before saying "A moment of silence for a brother taking one for the world."

At this point Hachiman said "Try not to deliberately provoke her, she's a bit of a tsundere."

Replying as if Ru was not there, the man in white gave a nod stating "Yes, you've got a long road ahead of you with her."

Chuckling somewhat darkly Hachiman responded "She might be high maintenance, but she's worth it or at least I have grown to see that she is."

Clapping his hands to draw attention himself the man in white said "Everyone a moment of silence for a brother suffering Stockholm Syndrome."

The look the man in white got from Ru told him that he had just learned how far was too far. Quickly he retreated from the place while Komachi cheerfully said "Ru-neechan, you're in your hero Persona. You can only make that face at villains and Hachimans."

Ru sighed before saying "Well Yazuka do classify as villains last I checked. I might be wrong though". Turning now to face Hachiman she said "You could have at least allowed me to order my own carrot hotpot."

Now as the terrified waiter return with their drinks he said "Carrot Vodka for the Hero, I mean lady. Lemon Lime bitters for the little sister and Cigar and a Large glass of Ararat Cognac."

He stuttered every single word and then hurried off as Ru shot him a glare telling him to beat it or she might just beat him. After taking a sip of her own drink Komachi noted the scowling of Ru and asked "Ru-neechan you do know that Nii-chan likes it when you're cross. Not because he enjoys you being cross but he finds you attractive when you are."

Ru raised an eyebrow to that, Hachiman after taking a sip of his brandy before saying "Komachi, don't make up things on the stop to stimulate conversation."

But it would appear that Ru did not care for his words this time and instead addressed Komachi saying "Well that I will be sure to remember that as it were when we're exercising. Thanks for the tip Komachi-nee!"

Smirking as if she had just attained some vital information she chose to ask Komachi "So how was your first day at U.A? Was it what you expected it to be or was it more, was it disappointing. Just because Hiki isn't going to ask doesn't mean he doesn't want to know?"

Hachiman was content to keep quiet for now as he sipped his Brandy. Though he was loath to admit it, he enjoyed outings like this every now and again. It was very different to his outing last night which he recalled the details of while he gazing into his glass of brandy.

Flashback

A masked man in black pinned another to the floor of a rooftop, the man pinned to the ground was in bad shape. A knife driven in all the was to the handle was in his back. Twisting the knife ever so slightly the man in black spoke, his voice was passionless and distant. "A mild mutation quirk that first glance does not seem to useful, only the blood upon your body gave you away."

Changing the pressure he was applying to the knife he states "With a quirk like that, you could have gotten in and out, but it seems you had a more twisted nature that your employer counted on. It's shame really I would not have been able to find you so easily had you not started that blood bath."

Twisting the Knife a little more he commented "Then again people who have mutation Quirks like your own are treated rather poorly, especially if they appear slightly menacing. But enough small talk, either hand over that drive and I'll let you go or you can die."

The Chameleon faced man scoffed at that while in pain stating "I can't feel my legs, you piece of shit, as if I would fall for such words like that. Give me what I want or die, are you going to get any more stereotypical."

Now the man in black gave his answer via a sharp stomp that took all the air out of the villain making him unable to cause a sound. At that very moment a second knife rammed into the left shoulder of the villain, being unable to scream in pain and barely capable of movement there was little the Chameleon faced villain could do.

" .here" the man in black said with a voice as apathetic as it was distant.

Laboured breaths came from the Chameleon man as he panted "It's, it's in my jacket pocket."

A sharp pain was felt as the second knife was twisted in his shoulder invoking the Chameleon faced villain to say "No, stop I'm not lying it's in my jacket. The front pocket, just stop, I'll take your offer, just don't kill me please."

His jacket was ripped off him and the contents emptied, the drive he had just killed multiple people including 4 police officers now rested in the black gloves of the assailant. The man in black now commented "Well it would appear you were telling the truth or were you?"

As if grading the villain, the man in black said "You brought your phone, your wallets and no dummy USB that would have been filled with viruses and malware. Those are clear rookie errors, why would they ever go to you, over me."

The villain watched in horror as his phone suddenly short circuited and then died in the black gloves of the man in black. Unable to see the face of this man he asked "Just, just who are are you if you're not a hero?"

"I'm a liar" the man in back said now as he grabbed the head of the villain who realised that he was about to die.

Desperately he said "No, you, you gave me your word that you would let me go. No I don't want to die."

The last thing he heard was "Neither did the people you killed."

Present

Hachiman now put down his drink, he didn't feel like taking another sip, not because killing the villain made him feel sick. No it was because the fact a villain like that expected not to die, he expected to be put away as it were. It was people like that who made Hachiman sick, the hypocrites unable to commit to something, only in it for the money. "Ah yes in a day and age where Heroes are paid jobs, there are bound to be those in it only because it pays well."

But of course there were villains who were so fickle they were worse than the hypocritical heroes. Doing it for a kick or because they too wanted a quick buck. If they had the ability to go toe to toe with heroes and were only in it for the money, then it would have been a whole lot easier on them to be a Hero than a villain?

The world, this world was rotten, Hero was a job title rather than the label for paragons of virtue and justice like the comics of old. Of course Heroes did die in the line of duty, but it was because this was their job. This job included saving lives, stopping robberies, tracking down killers to mundane tasks like cleaning up parks.

In the end they were more like Civil Servants to the public who answer to a branch of the Government. While some of the things they did were heroic, some of the other things they did were not. The villains on the other hand were either just angsty people who wanted to get a quick fix by doing something stupid.

The Hero Public Safety Commission, the organisation that is supposed to manage interactions between heroes and society. But if one dug deep enough the correct terminology is 'control' the interactions between heroes and society, after all they were the ones to set up the 'Provisional Hero Licence Exam'.

Like with all organisation of its size, there was corruption and intrigue within it. The HPSC was not afraid to go behind the back of Heroes and the Public if there was the need to do so. That's why Hachiman light last night was upon that roof, that is why he was taking down that villain.

It pissed Hachiman off enough that he was about to light up the cigar but was stopped by is girlfriend in the nick of time "Hey Hiki, no smoking with the precious imouto around remember?"

Recalling where he was Hachiman put his cigar back down before saying "Thanks for that, just I remembered something that I wish I hadn't."

Ru gave him a nod now as their food was served and the three of them tucked into it. Despite the fact that these guys were literally 'reformed Yakuza' or because of it, they served some of the best western dishes in the city. Ru did not like that they were here but for Hachiman she ignored it, for now.

The fact that no one else was allowed to be any where near them which meant no paparazzi to swamp Ru with questions was also a bonus. Which Komachi as she munched away at her meal she asked "What's this thing called, Toad in the Hole, I just hope if it's so, then it doesn't have any actual toads in it?"

Hearing his sister say this, Hachiman finished what was in his mouth, then wiped his lips with a napkin before saying. "But of course it is my dear Imouto. This is Western food after all what did you expect, they name all their dishes for what is in it!"

Horror swelled up in Komachi's eyes as she looked down at the meat she had just been eating. No doubt she thought it could be pork or something else, but toad. Yes Hachiman did enjoy it every now and again when he teased his adorable imouto like this. The man in white from before heard that too and yelled from where he was standing keeping watch "Don't fill her head with such nonsense, it pork, pork sausage if you are unsure."

This seemed to calm Komachi down, but before she could even say 'thank goodness', Ru spoke up. She too had joined in the teasing when she asked "You would trust an Yakuza lackey over the brother who has cared for you all these years?"

At this point Komachi must have realised what they were doing and her eyes now almost dropped down enough to look like her brother's as she asked "Are you two seriously doing this to me now, I almost needed to vomit there guys!"

Then the three of them laughed together, if one saw them they might be mistake for a real family. The ugly guy: Hachiman, the hot wife: Rumi, the pretty daughter: Komachi. But that said if anyone so much as looked at his imouto like that, they might have a date with their maker.

Later

An elderly woman in a dark suit was sitting down at her desk looking over some files. It had been a long day for her, but the work of the Hero Public Safety Commission President was never done. But now a sudden thump on her desk alerted her to the intruder who had placed a Drive upon her table. Looking up at the masked man in black, her face deviod of all emotion said "Perhaps a knock on the door or cough next time. You almost gave me a heart attack."

The figure in black merely told her "Unlikely."

Ignoring the fact he just called her a liar to her face she looked at the drive then back to him before asking "You've taken a look at the contents on that drive haven't you? That's why you're hear now and were not back last night?"

Stoically her masked guest told her "The contract did not state I was forbidden from doing so nor did I have to return it. You don't make mistakes like that, so it had to be intentional."

Reaching out and taking the USB she now asked "While it is good that you returned it, you've had enough time to falsify it, the Hero Public Safety Commission cannot use this any more."

The man in black then said "That's your loss" now as he was about to take away the drive when the President gave a polite cough prompting him to stop.

When the masked man in black now looked to her she informed him "While the HPSC cannot use if officially we can still document it as a backup from before the assault on that facility."

Leaving the device on her desk then the man turned to leave through the window that had not been open before. In fact this prompted the President to ask him "Just how do you get past security each time to see me directly rather than a proxy or liaison?"

Without turning back the man in black said "If it was easy, everyone would do it. If I told you, you'd stop me."

Sighing she lamented slightly "You know you would have been a very useful Hero, had you chosen to become one. You'll receive your pay in the usual manner of course, until we next meet again then."

This time he did not reply and simply vanished into the darkness as it were, but the window did close behind him. It was just her once more and that Drive. She gazed at it for a few moments before shaking her head and saying "Well I guess now is a good a time as any."

The Public Safety Commission President's late night was about to run a lot later than usually. But if her hunch was right on this, it would be worth it. Though if her other hunch was right, Japan and perhaps even the entire world might be in some serious trouble.

The Next Morning

Hachiman blinked himself awake, he had barely gotten a wink of sleep last night. His phone was ringing and the ringtone implied it could only be one person, her. Getting up out of bed her heard Rumi moan a little bit saying "It's so early just turn off the alarm."

Sighing as he replied to her, Hachiman told his girlfriend "If I do that, it won't end well, it won't end well at all."

Answering the phone he asked "What is it that you want this early in the morning?

The female voice at the other end of the phone replied rather quickly "It's only 5 am Hikigaya-kun, what was I interrupting some lovey dovey couple time between the two of you?"

As tempting as it was to say yes, Hachiman was not going to hang himself by saying that just yet. Instead he answered her "No I was not, what do you want?"

The female voice now spoke saying "Well first I would like to say congratulations to your little sister on her entry into U.A since it is a rather cool school. Is she there right now, is she awake."

Hachiman narrowed his eyes and answered in an irritated tone "No we don't share a room together, if this is all you had to say I'm going to hang up the phone then break it so you can't all it."

An amused voice answered him over "Oh is that so, little Hikigaya has grown some balls after getting a Pro Hero Girlfriend huh? But that aside I need you to come and meet me in person, it's serious."

Meeting this woman in person was the last thing that Hachiman wanted to do. But if she was calling him up at 5 am in the morning to tell me this, there had to be a reason why. Sighing again he now asked "Okay so is it the usual spot or some place you chose on a whim, again?"

Giggling in response to his words, the female voice said "Well not this time, it's the usual place as always. Also it is early, but I need you to come over here as soon possibly. Which translates to right now in case you forgot."

This warning was not unwarranted because last time she had said as soon as possible, he came as soon as it was convenient. So now he gave a nod before saying "I'll see you as soon as I can then."

His only form of vengeance on the lady was to close the phone before she could say anything else. Rumi who had now partly woken up looked at him through sleepy eyes and bed hair stating "It's too early to be alive Hiki, come back to bed."

Hachiman though part of him wanted to do so, did not and instead now proceeded to get changed as it were. Upon finishing this he sighed and walked up to Rumi and said "I can't, a she-devil wants me to meet it and if I don't come there will be hell to pay."

Moaning once more Rumi said "I was looking forward to your cooking this morning, but well can't keep a bitch waiting can you. Just tell her if she lays a finger on you I'll rip it off."

Rising up she made the effort to walk over to Hachiman who was a little confused at her sudden energy. Taking advantage of this confusion she launched an attack on his lips with her own before pulling away and winking at him. Flopping down onto the bed she informed him "That was your goodbye kiss, seeing as I might not see you again I guess it was as good a time as any."

Doing his best to hide his blush Hachiman managed to utter the word "Thanks" before walking out of the room. There was no time to eat breakfast, only time to grab something to munch on the way. That woman was one of the few people in this world that Hachiman truly feared, able to keep up appearance, meddle with things she likes and crush things she hates. Yes this woman had a mask that hid her true nature from most rather well, but he saw through it.

Later

At a 24 hour diner Hachiman now sat down at in booth as he ordered some coffee and egg. In the booth behind his back as a lady with jet black hair and purple eyes. Though no one would have been able to tell that since she was wearing sunglasses at the moment. Now as Hachiman opened out a newspaper he asked in a soft voice "Okay spill?"

The woman in return spoke after taking a sip of tea while see too opened up a newspaper "Flip to the third page of that a paper you'll find it there."

Doing as instructed Hachiman found a file attached within the paper and slowly opening it up he found a list. A list of names and quirks, it did not take long for him to read through it. There were also dates upon the paper, dates yet there were no words or letters to indicate what those dates meant. Sighing Hachiman said "I'll bite what is this?"

The black haired woman replied "Names, Quirks and dates of missing people."

Somewhat shocked though his tone of voice betrayed no such emotion, Hachiman stated "That Is a rather long list. Can I assume that these people, nothing has been found of them at all?"

Sighing now herself the black haired woman gave him an answer he didn't want to hear "Nothing has turned up, in fact it is as if they vanished off the face of the earth. I dug as hard as I could but it was as if someone had erased the trail."

Noting that Hachiman commented "It didn't happen all at once, but the fact that the list is this long. I'd suspect there to be more to it. The media would be all over this if they had a scrap of information, you do know how love stories."

She ignored that remark and instead informed him "Since the trail went cold, either the person doing this is powerful enough to hush it up or they have friends in high places. It's something we cannot ignore, it's big HHA-08."

Hachiman does not like getting drawn into random crap, he had only immersed himself in this sort of world. Because it allowed him to complete certain life objectives he had. But if she was not truly invested in this, she'd have met him and spoken face to face. So sighing he now asked "Do you really need me for this HYJ-07?"

This incited a slight chuckle from HYJ-07 whom replied "It's cute when you say it. I only ever brought up things with you if I thought them necessary while on the job. It's big this time, real big, I would not interrupt your lovey dovey time otherwise."

There was something irritating the way she said that last sentence, but instead of he just corrected "I enjoy my rest, that and this is not your job, it's your hobby. But just how big is it?"

HYJ-07 ignored that and instead "I would say it is bigger than that Villain Factory."

Now that caught Hachiman's attention, though he had minimal involvement in that area, he did however know the people involved to a small degree. So now calmly he asked "Trigger was a shit show, even if it is bigger than that. What do you know about it?"

Her voice now dropped even lower as she said "Only whispers, but there is one phrase that has popped up a few times, it is All for One."

Upon hearing those last three words, Hachiman froze up, but listened to whatever else HYJ-07 was saying name. Yet his mind what not on her anymore, those words were not just a phrase, they were a name. A name he had heard it before, almost eight years ago.
