Binding the Galaxy Together

Chapter 2 – Awoken

The sound of an ambulance siren wailing carried up and down the streets of the city as various cars did their best to get out of the way and allow it passage to its destination. The nearest hospital in Musutafu thankfully wasn't a long drive from the beach. Both Mirko and Ryukyu decided to make sure this kid, whoever she was, got taken care in the way she needed before they headed back to their agencies. Of the two of them, Ryukyu was the most concerned. She wanted to know very much why this girl was in that plane and what caused her to go blind. Also she muttered out she wanted her master. Who was this master of hers? A parent? Guardian? Was she some sort of slave? Mirko was concerned for the kid's wellbeing as well but more than that, she was curious. That plane in the sand that was about to be hauled away was unlike any other craft she had ever seen before and she had no idea what to make of it. Did this girl make it herself and the test flight went horribly wrong? Or was she just some sort of crash test dummy for some mad scientist? She had other ideas in her head and one that seemed impossible but this was a bridge to be crossed when they came to it.

When the ambulance pulled into the hospital driveway, Ryukyu turned back to human from her dragon form again and landed nicely this time rather than the tumble she took in the sand earlier. She could still feel some sand between her does because of that. Mirko hopped off her back before she changed and stood next to her fellow pro. Both of them watched as the paramedics came out of the vehicle and began to wheel the redheaded girl into the building. The two followed and began to explain the situation to the doctors.

"She was inside some sort of aircraft that crashed on the beach. I tried my best to slow it down but it was still rough."

The tall blonde haired doctor went back and forth between the girl and Ryukyu as he listened to the explanation carefully.

"Let's see here…no clear injuries can be seen under her clothes. Quite the cut on her head though. We'll get her stitched up and looked over soon."

They didn't have to walk much longer until the point came where the heroes had to stay in the waiting room. The doctors carted the girl back behind the doors and now the dragon and the rabbit had to trust her to them. Ryukyu was walking to take a seat on the chairs nearby while Mirko turned the complete opposite direction.

"Well. I'm out. I'll see ya later."

Before one of her metal feet could take a step, Ryukyu reached and grabbed her arm stopping her.

"You're not bailing on the police again before they get here."

"Oh come on! I hate having to answer the same questions over and over!"

Ryukyu wasn't having it. A few words later and Mirko found no use in arguing with the number nine hero. She plopped her butt down on the chair next to her and didn't bother to hide how bored she looked.

"So where are the people you called going to take that aircraft?"

Mirko sat up, remembering the call with the cleanup crew she had not too long ago.

"A warehouse not far from here. They need to hold onto it and have some scientist or whatever come and examine it to make sure it's not dangerous."

The dragoon hero nodded. While incidents like these were rare there were still protocols set up to deal with it. Whenever something fell from space, the object in question was carted off to be examined and checked for anything dangerous to humans. Then if it was a meteorite it was put up on display at a science museum. Anything else like space debris or busted equipment was melted down.

The doors opened again and in walked a few police officers along with Detective Tsukauchi.

"Detective." Ryukyu greeted. "I didn't think I'd be seeing you this evening."

"Yeah is this really something you need to be here for?" Mirko asked.

"Normally no." The detective replied back to both of them. "But the news is already covering the crash tonight on nearly every channel. I just wanna make sure that a panic isn't going to come of it."

"Do you wish for us to speak to the media about this?" Ryukyu inquired.

"Sometime later yes but not now. I just need to debrief the two of you about what happened. Is there somewhere we can talk privately?"

The three of them looked around and Mirko asked a doctor if there were any empty rooms. They were led to one and the door was shut behind them with a couple beat cops standing guard outside. As Mirko and Ryukyu got seated again, Detective Tsukauchi took out a notepad and a pen.

"Alright. Tell me what happened."

And so Ryukyu did from the top. She was patrolling the skies and from what looked like a meteor from a distance was seen. She flew to intercept and narrowly avoided getting hit by a ring shaped chunk of debris.

"You better tell Selkie or someone that a hunk of space trash fell into the ocean." Mirko commented.

"I'll get word to him when we're done here. Go on, Ryukyu."

The dragoon hero went on to tell the rest of the story. She used her feet to slow the thing down and redirect it to the beach where it crashed into the sand. Something that made Ryukyu remember AGAIN to get the damn sand out of her shoes. Once she was up, Mirko came in to put out the fires and saw the plane. Then they pulled a young teenage girl from the wreckage and came here to the hospital.

The detective stopped writing when he heard that part. He had only come to the hospital because that's where his officers reported the two heroes at the scene were headed. He didn't know anything about the girl.

"There was a kid in that thing? And she's here?" He asked with concern in his voice.

"She's in the back getting patched up but she's out cold. You're probably not gonna get any answers from her for a few hours." Mirko informed him.

Nodding, Tsukauchi write down a few more notes on his paper pad.

"Did she have any form of identification on her?" he questioned.

"Nothing we could see but we didn't check her pockets." Ryukyu answered.

"If she even HAD pockets." Mirko added on. "Did you see those clothes she was in? That old robe and everything? She looked like she should be living in a temple rather than flying around advanced looking planes."

Ryukyu was not one to judge anyone on their fashion sense. Really who were pro heroes to judge on that? She's seen her fair share of outrageous costumes. Heck some of her earlier ones were crazy in retrospect. Despite all that however, she couldn't find herself disagreeing with what Mirko was saying. Those clothes the girl had on looked like something one would wear to a sacred ritual meeting.

"Be that as it may, she did have on some sort of utility belt. Maybe there's something there."

"We'll look into that when she's done being worked on. For now, do either of you plan on staying?"

Mirko said no while Ryukyu said yes. The rabbit hero did wanna stay to hear the news about the kid when it came but she had other things she had to take care of before she turned in for the night. Ryukyu however would stay until she heard the news then would come back in the morning with Nejire-Chan to check on her.

"Alright that's just fine. But when you leave Ryukyu I'll stay along with another officer on duty to guard her."

Neither of them could argue with the Detective's logic here. None of them still had the full story on this girl and whether or not she was just a kid, or a villain, or something else entirely. Keeping her under watch until they could uncover her mystery was the right choice.

"Alright. Now that that's done with, I'm out of here." The rabbit hero moved out of her seat and to the door.

"Sleep tight, Rumi."

"I swear I'm going to make a purse out of your scales."

With that, Mirko closed the door behind her leaving a softly chuckling Ryukyu behind her with the detective.

"You really do like teasing her don't you?" Tsukauchi asked with his own smirk.

"Seeing someone like her get worked up over something so small does amuse me."

Then she took her turn to stand up and began to walk back to the waiting room. But before she did, she turned to go the other direction.

"Where are you going?"

"To get this sand out of my shoes."

The detective huffed a laugh and walked to the waiting room to take a seat in wait of any news regarding the girl. A few minutes later, Ryukyu joined him at his side with her feet and shoes cleaned of any sand. While they waited, the dragoon hero got in touch with her intern again and told her to go home for the night and rest. She would want her up and ready in the morning. Nejire agreed and signed off leaving Ryukyu to make chit chat with Detective Tsukauchi.

They waited for maybe fifteen minutes more before another doctor came out and called the two of them over. This one was a short lean woman with purple hair and just a couple inches shorter than the detective.

"Is she alright, Doctor?" Ryukyu asked.

"She's going to be just fine." The doctor replied with no hesitation.

Ryukyu took a sigh of relief hearing that and Tsukauchi released a sigh.

"That's good news." He said.

"Yes the cut on her head had to be stitched shut but a few of the healers here were able to remedy the damage in no time. Other than that, we looked her over and she doesn't seem to have any other injuries than that. And thanks to Ryukyu catching the plane she was in, the head trauma was nothing that can't be solved with simple pain relievers."

"Oh thank goodness." Ryukyu was truly happy to hear the child was going to be okay.

"We also took a look at her eyes."

When the doctor said that, Ryukyu's undivided attention was locked onto her. Tsukauchi on the other hand looked back and forth between the two women confused.

"Wait what about her eyes?" he wondered aloud.

Ryukyu flinched a bit, remembering a detail she didn't bring up in her debrief.

"Right. I forgot to mention this but when she opened her eyes to look at me, I saw that she was blind."

This was indeed news to the detective as his expression took on a hint of alarm.

"Blind? I thought you said the injuries were minimal."

The doctor raised her hands in defense to calm him down, as did with Ryukyu with a hand on his shoulder.

"No no no, detective. What I said was true. Her injuries in the crash are already treated. Her eyes however, they appear to have been like that for quite some time."

This brought little relief to Ryukyu regarding the subject.

"How can you tell?"

"Plenty of years treating patients with blindness have taught me a few things. There doesn't seem to be any scarring around her eyes or any sign of a wound that could inflict such a thing. So by that alone I think it's safe to assume she was born without eyesight."

Both the pro and the detective took a moment to let that sink in. Just what was this girl thinking when she decided to hop into that plane? Was it some sort of experimental thing specifically for blind people or was she unwilling? No questions were truly being answered here and they just kept on piling up.

"Maybe her blindness has something to do with her quirk?" Ryukyu threw her idea in.

"Actually that's impossible. She's quirkless."

THAT got the ball of confusion rolling faster.

"She's not just blind but quirkless too?" Ryukyu couldn't help but feel sorry for this girl.

"When we x-rayed her, we took a look at her feet. It turns out the joints in her pinky toes are the same as those with quirkless people. This kid has no power."

Now everyone there felt bad for this girl. To be sightless but also powerless? What kind of cruel hand did fate deal this child?

"Okay so she's blind and quirkless. Let's just go with something simpler." The detective was insisting here. "Did you learn her name?"

Once again, the doctor shook her head side to side.

"Not yet."

"What about identification? Does she have any?" Ryukyu wondered.

"Those clothes she came in here wearing had no pockets and we searched through those utility pouches on her belt. No identification as far as we can tell. But this girl does have some weird looking stuff."

Once again, the doctor caught the attention of the present cop and pro hero.

"What kind of stuff are we talking about here?" Tsukauchi asked.

"Doctor! We need you over here!"

All three heads turned to see a blue haired nurse waving her arm over to her superior. In response the doctor waved her own arm and nodded to the nurse before turning back to Ryukyu and Tsukauchi.

"Listen I'd answer more questions for you but right now I have other patients to assist. Whoever this girl is, she's resting right now and it wouldn't be a good idea to wake her. Come back in the morning and we'll be able to continue where we left off."

Both of them liked that. It was a long night not just for them but probably that girl as well. Best to let her rest and wake up on her own time so she can answer a few questions herself.

"Will do. And your name, ma'am?"

"Doctor Sara Aoki. Now please excuse me."

With nothing more to say, Doctor Aoki walked away to the nurse who called her leaving Tsukauchi and Ryukyu alone.

"I better get back to my agency. There's going to be some paperwork to fill out for this I'm sure." The dragoon hero lamented, not looking forward to that aspect of her job.

"Right. I'll leave you to it then." Tsukauchi then looked over to his officers that came into the building with him. "Tamakawa."

An officer with the head of an orange tabby cat walked over and stood at attention.

"Yes sir?" The cat cop replied.

"You're gonna be here with me tonight. Until Ryukyu and Mirko return here tomorrow it's our job to make sure no one but the doctors taking care of this kid get in her room to see her. You good with that?"

"No problem." Tamakawa didn't hesitate.

"Are you sure you'll be alright until then, detective?" Ryukyu just wanted to be sure.

Tsukauchi waved off her concern with a smile.

"Trust me, it's nothing a few cups of coffee won't be able to help."

One more nod from the number nine hero and she left the hospital. Once she walked out the front doors, she got a good view on what every other cop here was doing. Officers were lined up around the door keeping the press at bay. When Ryukyu stepped outside, the camera's began flashing and a flurry of microphones were held out in front of the pro hero to try and get a statement about what happened.

"Ryukyu! Over here!"

"Can you tell us what happened?!"

"Was it a meteor strike, Ryukyu?!"

"Are we under attack from beyond the stars?!"

"Do you think this will boost your number in the ranks?!"

Sighing, Ryukyu knew she had to at least say something. She prided herself on not being like some heroes like Endeavor who would just wave them off and leave them with nothing at all. She could at least give them one thing to ease their minds. She raised up both of her hands to the press and luckily, they took the message and began to quiet down a bit so she could speak.

"So far nothing about what has happened tonight has been made clear yet but we are hard at work trying to figure it out. Once we are able to give you any kind of information, I can assure you we will. But for now you will just have to wait for the answers same as us. Now if you'll excuse me."

A few more questions were thrown towards her as she walked away from the cameras but she ignored them and transformed back into her dragon body when she had room. She gave the news cameras a show as she kicked off the ground and flew up and above the skyline to make a straight flight to her building.

"Hopefully that quells them for a while. I don't want any of them near that child until we get a clue of what her mental state is like. And even then it's doubtful."

As they hours passed, as did the night and the activity from both normal people and villains trying to make a quick steal or cause a scare. Throughout the night, the hospital was quiet as it could be with doctors making rounds and the occasional checkup on the mystery girl's condition. Not a peep came from her in the entire time she slept save for the sound of her breathing, and the soft beep of the heart monitor plugged into her. An IV was also in her arm and her clothes were removed and replaced with a blue hospital gown.

It went this way for hours and a little bit past the sun rising and making its way into Saturday. Musutafu was bustling yet again. Less from the business side but more so with kids out of school for the weekend and making their way around the city to have some fun with their friends. Up in the fourth floor of the hospital Tsukauchi and Tamakawa were sipping on their third coffee cups of their guard job while inside, the young girl was still snoozing. Then she finally began to stir in her rest.

"….mmmm…Master…."

She could hear the blaster bolts whizzing by her head as she ran closer to her ship.

"Blast her!"

"Don't let her get away!"

"Nnn….….no….why?"

In the cockpit of her fighter, she could hear the chirps and beeps of her droid practically screaming into her ear.

"I don't know! Just get to the ring and punch it!"

The beeping on the heart monitor began to increase as the girl turned back and forth.

Once more whiles sitting in her seat on her ship, she could hear another series of beeps communicating to her as something attached to the middle of the craft.

"I don't care, R3! Anywhere! Just jump already!"

The beeping got faster and faster. Since she was the only one in the room, no one could see but various things all around her had begun to float above the floor. The medical equipment, the monitor, even the bed she was on was off the ground a couple of inches.

The last thing that came to her mind was the feeling and sounds of the engines whirring to life and her being pressed into the back of her seat. Then right before they hit full power, something hit her and jerked her ship in another direction. The motion caused the side of her head to bang into something quite hard, knocking her out cold.

"NOOOO!"

*THUD*

*CRASH*

She jerked up in her bed and sat upright. Then she let out a grunt as her bed, and nearly everything around her landed back on the ground. Some of it didn't land so easily. The heart monitor and her IV stand fell over to the ground. The beeping she could now hear was beeping fast and slowing down now.

The next thing the ruby haired girl heard was the sound of a door opening and someone stepping inside. She turned her head to the direction of the noise sensing someone was there.

"She's awake." That was a male's voice she heard. "Detective! Doctor! The girl's awake!"

Tamakawa stepped to the side as Tsukauchi and Doctor Aoki stepped in surprised to see what they saw before them. The girl was awake yes but what happened to make everything fall over? Frantically, the doctor ran over and set everything back upright. A quick inspection showed that nothing was damaged, save for a few small scuffs and the IV bag was still intact. Once everything was resorted she put a comforting hand on the girl's shoulder.

"Easy there dear. Don't try to move a lot." Doctor Aoki's voice came in a soothing tone.

Tsukauchi walked more inside and stood at the other side of the bed as Aoki. Gently he looked down onto the blind girl with a warm smile. Even though she couldn't see him, the detective still genuinely want to be friendly with this girl.

"Hello young lady. My name is Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi. The woman next to you is Doctor Sara Aoki. We're not going to hurt you. We just want to help you."

The girl looked more confused now and turned her head back and forth to where the detective stood, and the doctor currently rubbing her shoulder.

"A doctor…and a detective?" She her voice was still waking up so she sounded tired.

"That's right." Tsukauchi responded with a small nod. "We just need you to answer some questions for us. Is that ok?"

The girl adjusted her place in bed and felt in the right side of her head a dull throb of pain. When she put her hand there, she felt something wrapped around her head. Feeling around she figured out it was a bandage.

"Does your head hurt?" Doctor Aoki grew worried.

"N-no. No it's alright. Thank you." The girl gave the smallest of smiles to try and reassure her doctor. Then she looked back to Tsukauchi. "I will answer your questions, Detective. But can you answer a few of mine first."

"That's perfectly alright Miss….um I'm sorry. But I don't know your name."

Tsukauchi was listening intently.

"Camilla Sharro."

A name was found. Now some real progress could be made. He looked over to Tamakawa and the cat headed officer could tell immediately what his superior wanted. Stepping out, he got on the radio to the guys over at his precinct. Tsukauchi could hear him outside giving the name for people to run while she looked back to Camilla.

"Now tell me Miss Sharro. Do you know where you're from?"

As his questioning began Tamakawa had just finished putting his radio back to his belt when Ryukyu and Mirko walked in.

"Officer Tamakawa." Ryukyu greeted. "Have you seen Nejire-Chan. I told her to be here by now."

The cat cop tilted his head in a bit of confusion before remembering.

"Who? Oh your new intern. No I haven't seen her."

"Hm. That's odd. It's not like her to be late."

Mirko got her back on track.

"You can call her later. Right now we need an update. So what's up? Is the girl awake yet or what?" She said as she turned back to Tamakawa.

"Yes in fact she did. Right before you two got here actually. Tsukauchi is asking her a few questions. Also we got a name on her. Camilla Sharro."

"Camilla Sharro." Ryukyu repeated. "Well can we go in and see her?"

"You can in a few minutes. But first the detective wanted to see if you would be ok with looking at the things she was found with first? Maybe get a bit more info on her that he'll probably get?"

The two pros looked at each other and shrugged. It was as good a plan as any at this point.

"Where is her stuff?" Mirko was already impatient.

Tamakawa immediately led them down the hall to another room that had all of that. While they did Ryukyu called Nejire and found out she had been running late because the power went out in her apartment last night and it reset her alarm clock. So she was just getting dressed now and was on her way out soon. Accepting it, the dragoon hero hung up the phone and stopped when she and Mirko came to the room they were headed for. When in there, they went over to a small table and Tamakawa came over with a small box and Camilla's clothes and boots laid out. One at a time, he reached into the box and grabbed item by item to set out in a row on the table. First it was her belt, then what was in the pouches of the belt. Those things looked to be a small disk with a speaker on top, a small grey oval shaped device, also with a speaker and small antennae in the center, and a pair of black looking binoculars. Another hand came out and delivered six small vials of an unknown blue fluid. At the end of the vials were small needles covered by a protective seal.

The last two items Tamakawa fished from the box were two long metal tube looking things, each one over a foot long in length and an inch and a half to two inches wide. Both were the same in size but in shape and overall look, they were very different. In the left hand was one that seemed to be in a reddish hue with etchings of odd symbols and swirls engraved into it. At the top end, it was a polished silver color top about three inches long with three "windows" on three sides. The other one was more black with some polished silver trip around the base and neck. The center was silver and the thin neck was polished bronze. The very tip fanned like a flashlight.

Both tubes also shared the location of small button in the top center of them. They were placed down and Ryukyu and Mirko couldn't take their eyes off them for a moment. They couldn't tell what they were. But they were so….magnificent. Intriguing. Not a clue as to what they were even used for but the three present people could tell, these things were designed with elegance.

"All this stuff…..what the hell is it?" Mirko wondered.

"I have no idea." Tamakawa replied. "I should leave you two alone. Tsukauchi wanted me to come back. Apparently the big kitty head is a good heart warmer for kids."

Ryukyu couldn't help but giggle at the idea. She meant no offense of course and Tamakawa was a good sport. So he walked out of the room leaving the two heroes to look over this stuff.

"What do you think?" Mirko asked her fellow hero.

"Not sure." Ryukyu answered. "I've taken down my fair share of evil scientists in my time but…I've never seen any labs that had any technology like this."

"You're telling me. I can't even begin to tell you what any of this is. Or what it COULD be. And these!"

The rabbit hero gestured to the clothes. She picked the tunic up and looked it over some, seeing no distinct features like pockets or zippers. It was the same with the pants and the cloak.

"What even are these? And who wears it when flying a damn plane?"

"Perhaps some new type of flight suit?" Ryukyu suggested.

"Unlikely. I've felt flight suits before. This feels nothing like that."

The number nine hero ran he hand over the fabric of the tunic and confirmed that to be true.

"That is not built for flight. But what about…oh."

She saw it when she looked back to the cloak. She picked it up by the shoulders and held it up. When she did, Mirko saw it too. There were a few small holes in the fabric. But they didn't look ripped or torn like they had gotten caught on something. They looked like they were poked straight through. And judging by how small these holes were, it led the two women to the same conclusion.

"Was this girl being shot at?" Ryukyu muttered.

"Sure looks like it. And she sure we hella lucky to not get hit by any of these shots."

Tabling that for another time, the two went back to looking over her gear. They had already looked over the tubes though they figured maybe they were just flashlights for utility reasons. They looked over to the small speaker-like objects, the binoculars, and the vials. Mirko took a vial while Ryukyu took the small disk speaker into her hand. She noted the three sideways looking legs could turn but didn't see much use for that.

"Come on what are you-"

She felt a click when she pressed down in the center of it and from it a small image was projected in blue light hovering just inches above the disk. Mirko looked over and looked confused as all hell at the thing. The rotating image on the disk looked a lot like the plane that Camilla had crashed in the night before. Only this image showed what it looked like undamaged.

"The hell? Is that a hologram?"

"Yeah….how?"

Trying something, Ryukyu pressed her finger down on the thing again and the image turned off.

"Okay….this is weird. Vials of strange liquid we don't know. Weird binoculars, a hologram projector, and we still don't know what those pipe things or whatever are. This is just….what is she? Is she some lab rat?"

"I don't think so…weird technology, strange clothes, weird liquids. It almost makes me think…"

Ryukyu stopped herself from going on with that thought, worried she might look a bit crazy for a moment in front of Mirko. This didn't go unnoticed by the rabbit hero.

"Come on, scales. If you got a thought here than share it with the class. Any ideas are welcome at this point."

"You hold onto that thought, Rumi."

Sighing, Ryukyu turned and looked again at her friend.

"There's only one possible solution I can think of here. And it's gonna be one you will find insane."

"And that is?"

"What if Camilla isn't….from here?"

Mirko was confused as evident by the look on her face.

"What the hell does where she's from have anything to do with this?"

"No no no. What I mean is….oh dear God I just have to say it then. What if she's not from Earth?"

As soon as the question left her lips, any and all noise around the two pro heroes stood still. Ryukyu couldn't believe she just blurted that idea out but there was no taking it back now. All she could do now was watch as Mirko's face contorted back and forth from surprised to…almost angry. Like she was insulted that such a thing could even be considered.

"…no."

"Yes."

"No. Absolutely impossible."

"Rumi I think most of this says otherwise."

"Okay. Ryuko. I'm calling you by your first name for this. So listen here. Aliens. Do. Not. Exist. It's all just stupid movie crap!"

"We live in a world where over 80 percent of nine billion people have a unique superpower of that gives them abilities beyond all definitions of abnormality. Are you honestly trying to suggest to me that life beyond our planet is the most ridiculous thing we've ever heard of?"

"Are YOU trying to suggest to me that some blind quirkless girl could be from Mars?!"

"Well we don't know if it's Mars she's from."

"Oh for God's sake!"

Mirko turned around frustrated and pulled out her phone, furiously typing into it.

"Mirko what are you doing?"

"I'm calling the guys I had come pick up her plane last night and ending this right now." She pressed the dial button and held the phone to her ear. "Once we hear that her plane is just some experiment from some mad scientist that confirms she's just a normal human like us. Not some freakin alien. Hello?...Yeah listen this is Mirko. Patch me through to your boss right now."

Ryukyu then walked over to her side.

"Put it on speaker. I wish to hear too."

Mirko shrugged and did so, holding the phone out in front of her when a voice came through.

"Hello?"

"It's Mirko. Whatchya got on that plane?"

The phone on the other end could be heard dropping out of the guy's hand and hitting the floor. Then the two pro heroes heard the same guy curse and scramble to get his phone off the ground.

"Oh right! Miss Mirko! Hello again. Uh….the thing you had us get last night. Right. Well…..see I was actually holding off on calling you because….well…..when I tell you what I'm about to tell you, you're not going to believe me."

Mirko did not like that smirk that was forming on Ryukyu's face.

"What uuhh….what are you telling me here Haru?"

The guy Haru fumbled a bit with his words before speaking.

"See here's the thing. We picked some shards of metal off the plane when we were looking it over. They didn't really feel like any kind of metal we'd ever handled before. So we sent it off to a forensics lab to get looked over. The CSI guy couldn't figure it out so he called up a buddy he knew at the science labs. He sends HIM the shard and he looked it over. Gave it every examination in the book. And what does he come back to me with?"

The small cough and another fumble later and it sounded like Haru was afraid to speak these words.

"This element, whatever it is, it doesn't show up on the periodic table at all. More so than that, it's filled with other metals too. None of which are apparently found anywhere. And if this metal exists without it coming from our planet….then it's got to be from another one. I legit think this plane is an alien spacecraft."

It usually took a lot to make someone like Mirko be left speechless. Now was a very rare time.

"…holy…..fucking….shit…."

As Haru went on with his explanation and conclusion, the rabbit hero was floored by the evidence that leaned towards this Camilla girl being from another planet. While she remained unable to use her words, Ryukyu's smirk had remained but inside she was just as surprised as her friend. To hear that other life was out there was one of the things she thought she would never hear in her lifetime yet here she was. First contact had officially been made.

And it was with a blind quirkless human girl.

That little reminder caused Ryukyu's smile to vanish and be replaced with one of much worry. If Camilla truly was an alien and word got out, she could be in a lot of danger. Villains from everywhere would be after her in order to sell her to the highest bidder to be cut open and experimented on or God knows what.

"Haru, this is Ryukyu. I need you to listen to me very carefully. Can you do that?"

The very stern tone of Ryukyu shifted the tone of conversation a bit.

"Um…yes of course."

"I need you to make sure that you will not tell a soul about this. If word were to get out that this were in alien ship in your hands that would be very bad for you. Strangers would probably pile at your door or villains could come and steal it from you. And they could get violent to do it."

What Ryukyu said was the truth too. It wouldn't be good at all for him either. She just knew this guy didn't need to know that there was a pilot in there. After all, he got there to clean up the ship after they had pulled her out she he didn't even know about her at all.

"W-well….what am I supposed to do then?! I'm sure some of the news cameras saw us out there towing it away! And our truck has our address and phone number stamped on the side!"

"Don't worry. We'll take care of it. Mirko and I are both top ranked professional heroes. We have some pull with the government. We'll be able to call the right people to make sure its transported somewhere out of your reach. Neither you nor your business will be part of this story for your protection."

"Oh! Oh thank you! Thank you thank you!"

"You're welcome, sir. Now just sight tight and we'll do what we have to do."

Ryukyu hung up the phone wall Mirko finally snapped out of her shocked daze.

"This is…really happening. Isn't it?"

"I'm afraid it is. And we have to make sure Camilla is protected."

"Do you think that's even necessary? She may be from another planet but she's pretty much a human. It's not like she has to hide in public or anything."

"Looks aside she's still the pilot of that ship and if word got out on this, alien or not, she would still be hounded wherever she went. It's best to make sure that these facts remain under wraps for her sake. At least for now."

Try as she might, Mirko couldn't argue against Ryukyu's logic.

"Alright. Alright. Let's go tell Tsukauchi about this. See if he even believes it."

The dragoon hero nodded and they began to head back to Camilla's room. They walked not saying another word to each other as they were still both trying to process this. Aliens. They were real. Who knew? As they came out of the hallway they noticed Detective Tsukauchi up against the wall next to the door, with a hand over his forehead pinching it.

"Detective?"

"What's wrong? Did she not cooperate?"

"No no she cooperated just fine. She answered every question I gave her without any fighting for them. It's the answers themselves that aren't doing me any good."

The two heroes looked at each other having the faintest idea of where this could be going.

"And what exactly did she say?" Ryukyu asked.

"I think whatever hit her head may have messed with her brain a bit more than she realizes. She went on and on about she's from another galaxy and that she came to our planet by mistake. I'm not even sure Camilla is her real name now."

Tsukauchi looked back up to the pro heroes to be met with more confusion they were currently met showing. Rather they just looked….uneasy.

"Why are you two looking at me like that?"

Ryukyu rubbed the back of her head and sighed.

"Detective, looking over the things she has on her, along with a phone call we just got from the cleanup crew, we've come to the realization that-"

"The girl's a frickin' alien, dude."

Mirko was at least kind enough to make sure only the three of them heard. Tsukauchi's reaction? Well first off he couldn't believe someone like Mirko could ever say those words. That meant only more and more questions came to his head. This girl? An alien? What? How? Already the detective's mind was overrun. But despite all that, he still couldn't fully believe it.

"No…no just no. There has to be another possibility we're overlooking here. Give me everything that you know."

So the two of them did. And while they did, Tsukauchi was sure, determined even that his quirk be on at all times to make sure these two don't lie to him. While he was doing that though, the three of them didn't know that right on the other side of the door, Camilla had her ear up to it, listening to them. She walked back to her bed, worried a bit about what this could mean for her. All through her questioning little by little was revealed to her. Every answer she gave was the truth. Thought some things she willingly kept to herself. If they had found out she was a Jedi after what just happened, she may be in more danger. She couldn't afford to take that chance right now.

However, those thoughts were pushed aside a tad when she remembered how Detective Tsukauchi reacted to her answers. And the questions he had afterwards. It was like he didn't understand any of it. Finally it hit her as to why. And it filled her with even more dread than she had before. She didn't understand why she had landed on a world that seemed so freaked out about other life beyond their world. Were they truly so self centered that they believed they were the only life in the universe? And if THAT were so, what were they going to do to her? She would probably be carted away and shown off as a sideshow attraction. She sure didn't want that to happen after escaping from the hell that her own galaxy was falling into.

"I don't know what's happening….but I can sense their fear….and so much confusion. They're not sure what to do with me."

She stood back up and walked over to the window, leaning her hand on the glass. She felt up around the middle of it to touch a latch. She rubbed her fingers over it trying to guess how it worked. When she had a guess, she pulled her hand away and held it a few inches away with her fingers outstretched. She gave a bit of concentration and the lever holding the window open began to turn by itself. When it went all the way, the window could be heard loosening. With a small smile, she focused again and the knob turned shut. She looked to the door and senses their feelings again, hoping she was making the right call.

"I gotta get out of here."
