Chapter 17

New Friends, Old Faces.

Tomorrow would come MUCH faster than Kiralexia had thought and already the plan to go out with a group of HIS choice was in fruition. Aizawa was informed of it and begrudgingly accepted it. As for WHY and HOW the group found where Kiralexia went, he was informed of that and had a bit of a talk with Mei Hatsume. She had used a drone she secretly made when taking one of Kiralexia's designs, to find him. Kiralexia and Hatsume had made a few small things and blew up other things with Kiralexia many times and Kiralexia gave her some plans and blueprints for certain, machines. A drone being one of them that he said they would make TOGETHER on there own time.

As he could tell that wasn't the case and now she had a dozen of them already made and in use. He was not happy and talked to her about it. She apologized and said that she couldn't help it and wanted to make it then and there. Kiralexia sighed and forgave her for it, though not without pinching her cheeks and scolding her a little for it. Now as for the plan, he was desiring to go out to shop for some, random items. Clothes, games, adult sex items for future hangouts the such. Yes he did specify that and Kiralexia grinned seeing Aizawa give a slightly disgusted face to him for saying that. The group he'd bring with him would be most of the BakuSquad for he felt most comfortable doing those things with them. Plus when it comes for more sexual things he felt Ashido to be the most trusting and comfortable. Afterall he'd need someone to help him out and he ain't having Kaminari go in and god help him if he had Bakugou go in with him.

The deal was made and the group would prepare for the trip to, the mall, and maybe somewhere else if Kiralexia asked for it. Afterall he never specified WHERE he'd be getting the items. Kiralexia on the other hand was going through some repair therapy of sorts with Mei Hatsume helping him out. He felt relaxed and the room shifted between moments all at once. Some where music with characters in poses and animated slightly. Others where like memories all played in strange orders. And some just looked like acid trips.

Hatsume didn't mind and was to fixated on fixing Kiralexia. He was sitting down as she worked on his back and head. The BakuSquad then came around to where he was being worked with and noticed the way the room was in. German music was playing and was showing, Pagan like celebration with a fire pit right in front of them. It was weird but the music was good. They snapped Hatsume out of her working trance and she looked up at them smiling.

"Oh hi, I assume you've come to take my baby to do some shopping?"

"Ya but what's going on in here?" Kirishima asked raising an eyebrow.

Mei Hatsume looked around and saw Kiralexia looking younger alongside Steelfist and Shadowsmith looking around what looks like a cave. The whole room became this cave and Shadowsmith was holding up a piece of bone raising an eyebrow a little disturbed. Kiralexia had looked down to find a giant hole in the ground alongside Steelfist. All three looked different from there usual self. Kiralexia looked more flesh like, Shadowsmith's ears where pointed and he had a black paint around his eyes, and Steelfist well he had a more barbarian look to himself. It was weird yet the way they talked also sounded strange.

"I must say that this whole ordeal doesn't seem right. What lies down there could be beyond our own strength dear friends." Shadowsmith said in a elven tone of voice.

"Ya I ain't, I ain't willing to fall that far down man." Steelfist said in a low guttural voice sounding a bit, dumber than normal.

"Scared much friend?" Kiralexia said in his usual voice, so he wasn't different.

"Shut it, it's just gravity and I don't get along."

"We are well aware of this but still, I'd say this fight is made for you big guy."

"Ya right, come on I'll hold ya while we fall." Kiralexia said offering to hold Steelfist.

Steelfist simply looked down and jumped followed by Kiralexia and Shadowsmith. That was weird to see but before the scene could continue, Hatsume knocked Kiralexia out of his trance and the strange scene disappeared.. He looked over and saw his group and immediately smiled. He got up and stretched as he stood. He was about to speak but Ashido spoke up stopping him immediately.

"What the heck was that scene? Was that a memory or your imagination going, wild?"

"Huh? Oh that ya that was my mind just imagining things, though it is slightly based off a DnD Campaign. Let me tell you that was a weird one off."

"Big Dragon?"

"Big Dragon. Woof that man did NOT want to go down easily." Kiralexia said breathing out heavily.

Ashido nodded and then quickly realized something. She pulled something out from her pocket and immediately gave it to Kiralexia. It was a baseball hat while Jirou gave him a jacket. He looked at them a little weirded out at it. He looked back and saw Ashido smiling at him.

"Mr. Aizawa told us you needed to hide yourself, so he gave us these things." Ashido said smiling.

Kiralexia raised an eyebrow looking back at the items. He put the jacket on but left the hat off. He grimaced a little before having a thought in his mind. He flicked the hat outwards and it turned into a fedora. He then made two orange feathers protrude out of it and put it on. He then pulled the side of his jacket down a little and made it into a somewhat fancy suit. His pants where already rather fancy so nothing changed there. However he did produce some sunglasses by flicking his wrist and put them on with a smile on his face.

"I look much better with these attire on, wouldn't you agree?"

"How did you do that?"

"Remember any quirk imaginable I simply used this to have some entertainment with getting new attire for the outside world."

"You look like you should be in the mafia."

"Aw shucks ya gonna make me blush. Now come on no time to waste. let's go SHOPPING!" Kiralexia said with a little jazz hands and silly voice as he began to walk out of the room Hatsume had him in.

Everyone cheered as they began to move with him. They went there way out of UA and got to a car Kiralexia himself made once again. This time however it was a different color and it was a convertible. Kiralexia was gonna drive but Bakugou stopped him and went into the drivers seat instead. Kiralexia would sit in the back with Mina while Jirou and Kaminari were in the other seat behind them. Kirishima sat in front and off they went. Kiralexia looked around them and was very happy as they drove around to the mall.

He would talk with Mina and the others on funny and strange moments he had with his friends in the Militia. Such as finding out that Shadowsmith's hair poofed out in high humidity. It had weirded him out before he laughed about it as he saw Shadowsmith struggle to see because of the hair in his eyes. Mina simply nodded and said, 'I know that feeling.'. Kiralexia remarked saying that the only thing that would blind her on her head would be the bains, his brother's hair looked like an Afro when it poofed out.

Everyone laughed at the thought of Shadowsmith trying to walk around with an Afro. Kiralexia looked around and saw some stores as he was talking. It wouldn't take them to long to get to the mall and when they did Kiralexia had an idea. He whispered it to the others in the back and they all chuckled at it. When they parked and got out of the car, Bakugou and Kirishima where the first and Bakugou looked back calling for the other extras to get out. When they did, they acted like they just faced an artillery barrage. Legs where shaking and holding onto the roof of the car. Kiralexia was breathing heavily and looked over at Bakugou a little annoyed.

"Next time could you maybe NOT drive like a time bomb? I felt my life flash before my eyes once again."

"I saw dead people. DEAD PEOPLE!" Mina yelled out looking at Bakugou terrified. Bakugou simply looked back at them annoyed and smacked Kiralexia in the chest.

"Ha ha assholes, don't make me regret bringing you extras here. Now let's just get this over with dammit." Bakugou said walking to the Mall.

Kiralexia and the others laughed before joining him. Once in Kiralexia brought his hat down a bit more over his face. He then went up some escalators with Mina to get himself some new clothes. Meanwhile everyone else went to do there own things. Now for the most part Mina and Kiralexia out of everyone in 1-A, had been incredibly friendly. Making jokes off of one another, having little make up sessions, and even aiding Kiralexia move around when he couldn't in the beginning. Of course he cared for the others as well, Tsuyu especially, but Mina seemed to have a special place in his heart. Hell she was the first one he actually mentioned his life on I-island, which she kept secret from others because he said so.

Thus seeing these two, a man who looked like a member of the mafia, and a hero in training, would be a bit strange. However they just resonated an aura of friendship and cordial relationship. When they walked on around on the top floor they talked about somethings, nothing of real note honestly. When they reached a clothing store in the Mall Kiralexia and Mina immediately went in and began searching. The clothing store in question was mainly a store filled with feminine clothes, with a few other items. Kiralexia mainly went in for Ashido but a bit for himself, simply because he liked the look of the short shirts. Ashido was looking through clothes trying them on while Kiralexia judged them. One was very punk like and Kiralexia simply responded 'I don't think we need TWO Jirou's.'

Another one was a simple shirt that had a few frills on the shoulder's, Kiralexia liked that one and gave a thumbs up. Next he tried one a shirt with words on it along with some pants which Ashido chuckled but gave an approval of it. As they tried on clothes they would actually talk on somethings going on now and Kiralexia sighed as he remembered who he was gonna meet today. After a few more clothes they got what they wanted and moved to a different clothes store, THIS one was a Kiralexia main one. Robes, normal shirts, a few sweaters, simple things really. As Kiralexia looked through a clothes rack, Ashido had to ask him something bugging her from the beginning.

"Ya know it's not often that a man would go clothes shopping like this. However you seemed more fixated on other things as well, why is that Kiralexia?"

"Well I didn't tell Aizawa this because I knew he'd never accept it but I'm wanting to meet someone as well. Someone who I'd call a good friend."

"Another one? Wait does that mean we don't-"

"No THOSE other things are a definite. Don't try to get out of it Mina."

"Damn wait who is this person, a Militia member?"

"Eh no someone else, they didn't side with any side really. There business boomed with heroes and villains, because they never cared on that stuff."

"Sounds like a nice person."

"Oh absolutely when I told them on my sexual orientation, they simply nodded and went about there day. They only asked how it felt and that was it." Kiralexia said rummaging through clothes as he did so. Ashido nodded before asking the same thing.

"Eh a bit weird and sometimes I had some jackasses try and flirt with me, but overall not much different from another life. Simply a man who's love life is more booty calls than seeing genders." Kiralexia said with a sassy chuckle.

He looked out to see Ashido give him a stern disappointed look. Kiralexia's smile slowly faded as he put his face back into the clothes rack. Ashido rolled her eyes and pull out a dress for Kiralexia. She tapped his shoulder and handed it to him. He grabbed it and immediately began to put it on.

"Oh finally they made robes that accommodate for large horns." Kiralexia said a little muffled in the dress.

Ashido was shocked at the comment before realizing it kinda did look like robes. Celtic knotting on the edges and it went down covering his legs instantly. However it did show the shoulders and surprisingly was to big for him. He looked at Ashido as she chuckled a bit at him wearing it and he raised an eyebrow.

"What I don't look good in robes?"

"It's not that, it just, that's a dress." She said pointing at the dress.

Kiralexia looked down and noticed yep it was a dress NOT robes. Even if the store did have them it seemed like it also sold more medieval/renaissance like dresses. He nodded and took it off keeping his old clothes on under them. He then handed it to Ashido and pulled out a shirt he found enjoyment in. after going to a new rack, this time on the wall Ashido thought for a moment and had to ask him a question.

"So when it comes to Shadowsmith, I understand you two are brothers somehow, or maybe just really close. How does that work?"

"You ever heard of a blood pact?"

"Well ya you taught us one day."

"Really? Huh, well that's kinda how it happened me and Shadowsmith one day decided to make the pact, thus we see each other as blood brothers. Our drops of blood are in unique jewelry I made. His was a necklace shadowy and a sword with shield in the center. And mine a ring with a lavender flower and smoke tendrils around it. I treasure it a lot, though sadly I seem to have lost that ring, or maybe gave it to Shadowsmith, I do not remember exactly. Either way it was a nice moment for me, they truly felt like a family to me." Kiralexia said with a small smile on his face as he held a cloak in his hands.

Ashido was surprised at this statement and looked down. The Militia really was important to Kiralexia, it was a family to him. It pains her to realize that Shadowsmith, if he still lives, believes that this amazing man is dead. She then had a thought on the blood pact and looked up at Kiralexia. He was looking over at prices and put some clothes away as he did so. She nodded as she thought of it. Maybe, but as of now they're more close friends than making blood pacts.

They wouldn't take much longer buying the clothes and would leave with a cloak, two pairs of robes, and a few pairs of pants with shirts of both longs sleeves and short sleeves. They would then meet up with Kaminari who was struggling to find a good video game to get for Kiralexia and himself to play. So much so he seemed to have short circuited his own brain. He put the bags of clothes with Ashido and looked up at the wall he was looking at.

It was filled with many genres as is expected of a shelf for a console. He looked higher and saw the console in question, 'Xbox 1', huh. At least he went for the one he himself requested to own, so that was considerate. Plus the games where entertaining to look at. Halo of course caught his eye, he had played it a lot and seemed to enjoy it, though not as much as others. However to give Kaminari a break he picked up both that game and another and showed them to Kaminari.

"Ya know I actually find these games really entertaining. Perhaps we can play this later." Kiralexia said pointing at the games.

Kaminari looked relieved as Kiralexia bought the games and carried them in one hand. They left and found Kirishima and Bakugou just sitting on a bench doing, something. Kiralexia got there attention and Bakugou got up and looked at Kiralexia angrily.

"Well we done in this damn place Tin Can?"

"I am, Jirou maybe finding some music or something so we must wait for her."

"Not anymore." Jirou said surprising them as they turned and saw her. They saw she was holding a small bag in her hand as she walked up to them.

"Oh well then let's go to that one small store I saw on our way here."

"Which one?"

"Uh I dunno it's name but I recognize a model store when I see one."

"Model store? What does that mean, they show off models for sail?" Kaminari asked raising an eyebrow. Kiralexia simply looked at him a little disappointed in turn.

"No it means they sell model figures and model sets to build. Have any of you NOT seen Midoriya's room? THOSE are models, albeit different variation of what IS a model but still a model."

"Huh didn't think you'd want a model, much less go to that store."

"Well I may know the owner when shopping for such things with my bro and Rose Dawn, once. she's a nice lady and really interested in the genre, I wish to see her again. Plus why the hell not, I might as well get a set to build. Better than doing trivial t hings all day." Kiralexia said rolling his eyes down to the ground.

Everyone looked at each other and thought for a moment. Kiralexia did seem to have traveled far so even a small store like that where he to meet and know someone well-ish isn't to far off. Plus who knows, maybe more information on the Militia can be learned from this one woman. Thus the decision was made.

"Alright fine we'll go there BUT only for that one woman and a model set, and NOTHING else."

"Fine by me, now let's go." Kiralexia said pointing out the mall as he walked back to the car.

After a VERY short ride to the store, they went in. the sign had kangi that roughly translated to 'The Future Modelist's.'. It was slightly faded but the store itself showed a sense of cleanliness. They entered and saw a dark coloured carpet industrial lights hanging from the ceiling and tables set up. The register and work desk was at the entrance where they came from on the right side and they saw it was, empty. Across the room was a whole area of small models, figures, artwork on the walls, and a few tables with details on them near the center of the room. In the front large white plastic tables where there with cards and three people on one of them.

One man on one side with a clean shaven face and strange eyes that looked like plus signs. A woman sitting across from them with long brown hair that had gray at the edges. She looked a little older but not much. Another man was sitting next to her and he looked rather small and lengthy, and his hair was a bit thing. However they seemed rather harmless for now and where looking between the lady and the other man talking to one another. Everyone looked around and took in the whole, place. A few customers where around but not many, clearly showing how busy this place is.

Kiralexia took in a deep breath and sighed heavily pleased with a smile on his face. The three in front heard the bell that rang when they all entered and looked over. Now they could see the faces of the two sitting closest to them. The ladies face showed age, with small wrinkles around there eyes and cheek, yet once again still looked good for there age. The man honestly, kinda looked like a little goblin without any hair, for they had a small point to there ears and now noticing a small green tint around his arms and face. The lady smiled at them and waved at them.

"Hello, welcome little heroes, have a look around I'll help you if you need it."

"Thank you madam I'll make sure of that. Tell me where are the um, model sets held?" Kiralexia asked looking at the back of the store.

The lady then raised and eyebrow and got up from her chair. Everyone else had already began to move out to the store just to look around really so Kiralexia was alone as the lady took a look at him. She went right in front of him and squinted her eyes. Tilting her head a little she took the hat off of Kiralexia and saw his face. He looked back with a smile as her face turned to shocked surprised.

"Been awhile eh mistress?"

Kiralexia you son of bitch, back from the dead huh? Tell me how's your brother doing, haven't seen him in years."

"I know not, I have been considered dead for nearly six years."

"Oh sorry to hear that, I hope I didn't upset you."

"No I'm fine I may have lost one family but-" Kiralexia looked at Mina holding onto a small little model and smile. "-I have found a new one. How have you been madam?"

"Please call me by name Kiralexia, and I've been doing alright. Business is fine for the most part but you, you seem like you've been doing rather well considering you've been dead for almost six years."

"Eh I had some help with that. Now could I please get my hat back I gotta keep myself hidden from the world for now."

"Oh right, here." The lady said putting his hat back on with ease.

He tipped it down in gratitude and she smirked from his formality. She then looked into the back of the store with a little smile. She sighed and looked back at Kiralexia who was rubbing the back of his head.

"I'm guessing you're wishing for the 40k model sets?"

"Ya the ones my brother LOVED to build."

"Of course he did, can't blame him, a very fascinating universe with well made models. For the most part. There in the back."

"Thank you mad-, Sachi it's been nice to see you again. Now then off to the model sets." Kiralexia said moving to the back of the store instantly.

He went to the wall and immediately began looking for sets. Most of them had the logo of 40k on it and Kiralexia was raising an eyebrow deciding on something with it. He was deciding whether to go for one faction or the other. Afterall he couldn't get all of them, especially with the price these things have. Thus after having Mina come up and look with him she to began to get confused. Mainly as to what the hell she was looking at. For the box she was looking at had a man standing on stone with lighting shooting out of there hands and a sword in the other. A rather pissed off look was on there face and the name 'Phoenix King' was on it. Nothing about it made sense and thus she pulled it out to ask Kiralexia.

"Hey Kiri, what the heck is this thing?"

"AH The Phoenix King the leader of the Ancient Humans."

"Ancient Humans?"

"Right you don't know the setting. Okay to make the lore condensed as hell it's set in the 42nd maybe 43rd millennia and many things have happened from then. Xenos fight against the giant empire of man, the Imperium of Mankind, original name I know. However they also face demons, yes it as absurd as it sounds. Many things happened before this current era and the Ancient Humans are considered the last vestiges of the era before the Imperium. There Leader, the one you're holding, has lead this small Kingdom for Millennia. In short they are the oldest AND to an extent the most advanced race in the entire setting."

"Wow impressive, how do you know this stuff?"

"Well my brother collected the models like hell and was pretty good making his own armies for them. Hell as far as I'm aware the 'Ancient Humans' weren't even official till I think a decade or so since someone decided to make the pitch to Game Workshop, the company that makes this stuff. I dunno much on it BUT I do know that my brother did make his own unique army of the Ancient Humans before getting the official stuff."

"Hmm, when did this race come to be official?"

"EH I dunno Hundred years ago, two hundred, all I know is that it was a WHILE ago. Though to be fair it IS an old genre and franchise, starting in the late 1980's, I think. However they have a sister race as well called the Reformed Iron I believe. Hold let me just, aha here's one." Kiralexia said pulling out a box with a squadron on the cover.

It showed about 10 or so soldiers in different positions. The name of the squad was 'Reformed Iron Men; Steel Knights Squad.'. It showed high sleek yet also slightly bulky armor on them, with one of them pointing forward. There heads where helmets with anger faces on them and but also looking like medieval knights of Europe. An interesting design and Kiralexia pointed at the box with a small smirk on his face.

"These are basically AI, full and sentient. This universe doesn't exactly have AI's the closest is the youngest race in the series having drones but that's it. THESE however, are full fledged sentient independent AI's. I gravitated to them when I first collected because of that. THIS, this isn't the infantry squadron, it's the more elite squad of infantry, I believe. Hold on let me find one. I think they called them the Invader squadrons? Might be wrong though." Kiralexia said looking at the shelf frantically. Ashido looked at the boxes and put the Phoenix King away and held onto the 'elite infantry'. After Kiralexia grabbed the squad, it simply just said infantry squad. Basic but to the point.

"Okay the Invaders are anti tank squad THESE are the infantry. Could've sworn they had a different name but ah well. You alright Ashido?"

"Hm, Oh ya it's just. Maybe I might get one myself, but I dunno which one to start with."

"Start with the race you like the most. Or in my case gravitate towards. If you wanna actually start collecting them, don't worry, perfect box for that." Kiralexia said moving down pointing up at, start collecting boxes. "THESE are where you wanna start with IF you wanna actually make a small army of them. Or go with THAT I won't judge." Kiralexia said pointing at the box Ashido was holding.

She looked at it then put it away and looked up at the boxes. She then asked Kiralexia to bring them down to get a better look at them. He agreed and put them down all on the floor. Then they sat down and looked at each other.

"I'll get on of these but I won't learn more of this lore just yet, I just wanna start this collecting ya know?"

"Of course I understand that, most simply collect and paint and that's fine. Though out of everyone that came with me YOU were one I was not expecting to wish to collect with me."

"Eh I wanna try and get into things you like. Now come on show me the races so I can decide."

"Okay let's start simple, Imperial Guards." Kiralexia said showing the box off to Ashido. She looked at it and nodded.

"Grounded human race, but I think I'll pass on them. A bit to, simple I guess?"

"Hm, fair enough. Space Marines, the poster boys of the franchise."

"I can see, a bit bulky but love the blue look. However I think I'd like to see the others before."

"Okay, ah Space orc, or in this universe orcs with a K." Kiralexia said. Ashido looked and simple gave a thumbs down.

This would continue until she saw Eldar, the space elves of the universe. She liked them and put them in a maybe pile. After the rest where shown, she had three, Eldar, Reform Iron Men, and Space Marines. In the end she chose Eldar and Kiralexia chose Tyranids. They got up put the rest away and nodded putting the stuff up to the front desk. Sachi looked and smiled at the two as they prepared to buy.

"Ya know madam I find it really sweet that you wish to try this just for Kiralexia."

"Well they look interesting, plus hey, if I don't like it, he can have my army."

"Again, really sweet. Now then the total shall be 27,600 yen."

"WHAT!" Ashido Exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh I forgot to mention, this hobby is REALLY expensive. If you want a small squad instead-"

"No no, I shall embrace this. Besides, YOU'RE paying."

"What no I'm-" Before Kiralexia could finish he realized he really did have to. "Oh ya, dammit. Okay here." Kiralexia said taking the yen needed out and giving it to Sachi.

She took it then took a card and punched holes in it. Handing it to Ashido and gave them a receipt. Kiralexia was happy before immediately realizing something. He had NO supplies to ACTUALLY assemble them. Damn, so much for THAT plan. Sachi noticed and gave them the supplies for it, exacto knife, model glue, clippers, and even a few files.

"For you that shall be for free since I'm nice like that. Enjoy the new hobby miss Ashido."

"Ya know with how happy he is with it, I think I shall." Ashido said with a small smile.

Kiralexia smiled pretty widely looking at the box he had. While yes his brother was more into it, he was at least interested in building them. Plus it beats doing the same online things every time. Ashido and Kiralexia put there items in a bag and get everyone to move out for the next thing. Bakugou however was in the middle of an argument with someone at one of the tables, which had a bunch of those models on it. No one knew WHY he was fighting him but clearly, he was losing the argument. They could tell because he just looked more pissed each time the man was speaking. Kirishima was trying to stop this but was failing, thus Kiralexia was needed. He walked over and actually began to hear apart of Bakugou's argument.

"Alright if this shit is so important then where the fuck have you been with the rest of the goddamn world?!"

"Oh I know it, and let me tell ya kidnapped brat, I. don't. Fucking. Care. I couldn't give two shits on your prestigious life like how the rest of you heroes are like. Yes you do good, but leave me and the rest of us alone, then we're good."

"You mother fucker, I'm gonna make you regret saying that asshole!" Bakugou yelled showing explosions on his hand.

Kiralexia looking over and seeing Sachi just look so done with that decided to do something about, this. He looked over saw a hard covered book on some boxes and grabbed it. He then walked right up to Bakugou, who didn't even notice him at all, and looked at the book. Grabbing a second one making it wider and stronger. He then SLAMMED it right into the side of Bakugou's face causing him to not only be dazed but actually look like it knocked him out. To Kiralexia's surprise, despite the force he used with the books, no damage was shown on them, pretty impressive actually. He put the books on the table and quickly grabbed Bakugou by the collar and began dragging him out of the store.

"Come on Time Bomb you're going with me to the bar dammit." Kiralexia said as Bakugou began to process what just happened.

"What the fuck just hit me?"

"Codex books, two of em. With what you were doing you deserved it. Now let's get out of here before you piss off anyone else." Kiralexia responded as he walked out of the store with the bag still in his hand. Kirishima looked at the man with a bit of a nervous expression.

"I'm so sorry for all of this, have a great day man."

"Eh you to kid, make sure that bastard doesn't bother me again alright?"

"Okay sure bye." Kirishima said hastily walking out of the store.

Everyone else followed suit and left, however Ashido stayed behind. Sachi grabbed her shoulder and pulled her in close. A small smirk was on her face as she stared Ashido down. Ashido look around a little confused before being embraced by Sachi suddenly.

"Thank you for bringing Kiralexia back. I never thought he'd even be back at this store ever again."

"Don't thank me, thank Hatsume, she's the one fixing him up."

"Yes but YOU are are the one who brought him HERE. For that I thank you, now take care Ashido have a nice day."

"You to miss." Ashido said walking out with everyone else.

Kiralexia was now the one driving as Bakugou sat in the back with Kirishima. Ashido was in the front as they drove away. Before any ask YES Kiralexia already got those items, however the only one who knew that was Ashido who saw him sneak some sex items into a bag he had. No one argued however and besides he seemed to have bought it, somehow with no one knowing. Kiralexia drove on parking into a parking lot and getting out. He was looking around the area before finally finding something.

Everyone was confused yet he didn't say anything. Everyone followed as he walked down to an alleyway of sorts. It was dark and rather dirty, like every other one, yet one thing was different. A somewhat clean looking bar sign and bar in a rather isolated area of the city. The name of 'Neutrality Saloon' shun on the sign. Everyone was confused as Kiralexia looked at the sign with a small smile creeping up on his face.

"Excuse me Kiralexia, but where the hell are we going?"

"Meeting an old friend." Kiralexia said walking to the door of the saloon.

The whole place had dark walls dark wooden floors and a bit of neon around the sides. Music was playing as they all entered, and the whole place had, villains. Yet not just villains also local heroes as well. Some even sat with one another talking and having drinks. The bar tender looked a bit strong, but overall well aged. A small scruff was on his chin and his hair was dark and medium in length. He was struggling to clean a certain cup, looking at it and groaning when he saw a smug was still on it. Kiralexia and the others sat down on the bar stools looking at the man, not even paying them attention. Kiralexia grabbed the cup and began to clean it.

"Please allow me." He said as he was taking the smug out instantly.

Once it was gone he handed it back to the bar tender and he looked at it. Nodded and thanking Kiralexia. However before he put the cup away he froze. He looked back at Kiralexia a little dumbfounded. Kiralexia simply smiled as he took his hat off looking at the bar tender happily. Instead of dropping the cup he put it down took a deep breath then began to yell in excitement.

"NO FUCKING WAY HA HA! You're alive!?"

"Yep I'm alive bitch surprised!?"

"NO SHIT! Oh man it's been WAY to long man, how have you been!?"

"Honestly compared to last month, pretty well. Business doing you good?"

"Oh up and down here and there. Though seeing THESE guys here, tells me so much more about your life right now."

"Excuse me but WHO THE HELL IS THIS GUY!?" Bakugou yelled out getting the bartenders attention. Kiralexia simply looked at him a smile still on his face.

"Oh terribly sorry everyone meet the best bartender I've ever met. Malin, he's a carefree man who allowed the heroes and villains in his establishment."

"alright then why aren't they fighting?"

"Well a simple rule, DON'T START ANY FIGHTS! Do that and you'll be thrown out."

"That, actually makes sense. Plus it seems more local heroes and villains, no big league?"

"Well I did have Stain come in from time to time, nice fella to talk ta. Really respected his view on the changes the society needs."

"He was a murderer."

"Ya so was Kiralexia, yet you accept him. What makes him so different?"

"We got to know him, we know he's nice."

"And the same could be said about Stain. Sure he's not the MOST friendliest man BUT he at least respected my business model and I respected him. So ya know there's that."

"Huh he must've been a hell of a sight for some of the villains."

"No shit, he only came when heroes weren't around. Man It feels good to see you again."

"Same Malin. I'm guessing no news on the Militia?" Kiralexia asked looking a little sad. Malin simply looked down and his smile faded away slightly.

"Nah man I haven't. Once the war ended they did everything they could to make sure no one even knew they where on Japan. I think the only member left is, Perversion."

"Oh trust me, I already knew that when I saw her son in UA."

"No fucking way, that whore's son is actually trying to be a hero? How's that working for them?"

"He's the son of the most perverted and deprave woman in the Militia, what do you think?"

"Touche. Now then please help yourself, on the house."

"Thanks, so no other group or anything has entered this place."

"No, well there is one villain group." Malin said a bit of sweat on his face. Everyone looked at each other a little confused but having a guess as to who.

"Really, who would that be?"

"Oh you know them, but there leader never comes, only the other members."

"Okay, then who are they?"

"Um, the League." Malin said right before the doors opened.

Kiralexia looked back to see Dabi, Twice, and Toga have entered the establishment. Shit that ain't good. Kiralexia squeaked a little looking away quickly. The whole place became silent as the three big villains walked forward to the bar. Dabi leaned on the counter looking at Malin with a calm look on his face.

"Hello, you seem to have new guests."

"Yes you know the drill. No fights."

"Of course, and I wasn't talking about the students, I was talking about HIM." Dabi said pointing right at Kiralexia. He became very nervous and was thinking of ways to get out of the situation. Malin simply looked at him and leaned forward himself.

"So he's new, what about it?"

"It's just, I don't think a man of his appearance would willingly be alongside start ups. Who are you?"

"Sorry my scar effeminate man, my name and personal information is beyond your understanding." Kiralexia responded in a smooth and snarky sounding voice.

"What?"

"Well look at yourself dear lad you aren't what I'd call, good childhood. Tell me your name dear sir and I may reveal mine."

"Dabi, now tell me." He grabbed Kiralexia by the collar and pulled him in close "Who are you?"

Kiralexia got a bit nervous but kept his cool. He had to think of a name quickly but his mind was blank. Thankfully Ashido came in to save the day.

"His name is Gregor."

"Gregor?"

"Yes, short for Gregory von Micklenberg." Ashido said thinking rapidly on the name.

"German, you don't sound German."

"Well yes my dear friend but I was taught English from my mother at an early age and now it's practically a second language to me. As for why I'm with UA well, the school wanted a forgein teacher and I was the only one willing to do it. Thus I am there German teacher, teaching them European history among other things."

"Hm alright. Have a good day sir Micklenberg. As for you." He said to Malin who was just processing all of this. "I hope you give us more leads soon."

"Yes of course that was our deal afterall." Malin said to Dabi a bit nervously.

As Dabi was beginning to leave, Kiralexia got up and stopped him. Dabi looked back and showed some fire on his arm. He looked at the bouncer and quickly extinguished it. Kiralexia would then begin to speak.

"Hold on dear sir I would like to make a deal with you."

"If it's learning from villains, find someone else."

"No no, nothing like that. As you know I'm a historian, I study things and learn from the past. And as of now I am currently trying to study more on a special project of mine."

"Get to the point I have somewhere to be."

"Yes of course, I want your aid in finding old ruins and relics of an organization now long gone from the east. You see they are well known and respected in the west, a few even around my home country, but the east they just vanish from site over night. For that I'd like to study more of the why and how, along with bringing copied relics back with me to teach in my home country."

"What's in it for us?"

"Money, fame, acknowledgment in my book, whatever you desire. If you wish to do this, I will be greatly gracious with you."

"Hm, give us the organizations name and then we'll work from there."

"Of course, you see they are as old as the title False hero is."

"False heroes, those villain wannabes. I love em." Twice said suddenly at that comment. Kiralexia looked before getting back on topic.

"It's members where respected as much as feared. They faced the mighty villain empire before they vanished. The Anti-Hero Militia." Kiralexia said almost breaking into his normal voice. Dabi gave a quick glance before thinking and giving an answer.

"Fine we'll help, but we work alone. No heroes with us at all when we do this got that?"

"Splendidly of course, I wouldn't dream of it. Meet me here when you find anything."

"Sure now let go." Dabi said shaking Kiralexia's hand off his shoulder.

He then left alongside Twice out the door without anything taken. Toga stayed for a second to look at Kiralexia. She pointed at her forehead with a smile on her face. Kiralexia then put his finger on his lips and she just thumbs upped before leaving with the others. It was weird how the two just left without taking anything, only asking for something that could've been on the phone. However knowing the League it wouldn't be easy on the phone at all. Kiralexia sighed of relief and sat back down looking at Ashido who also sighed.

"Gregor really?"

"Shut up I panicked it was the only name t hat came to mind."

"He doesn't even look like a Gregor."

"Oh shush you don't here me complain about your name Malin."

"Hey I chose it, my birth name was just blah, not me." Malin said waving at the air rolling his eyes. Ashido processed that but Kirishima was the one to ask.

"Wait what was your birth name that you decided to change it?"

"It was Halfdan. Not exactly a good name for me thus I went with Malin."

"I'd say you sound good with either." Ashido said with a wink.

He blushed slightly and moved back to get water and menus for the kids. They looked it over and Kiralexia suggested the sundae. Ashido ordered it while Bakugou ordered something incredibly spicy. After ordering there food they awaited and had a nice chat on how the Militia would use this bar. Many elites and even low ranking goons, would spend time in this bar talking, drinking and just relaxing. Many stories were shared on those days, and Kiralexia smiled when he mentioned it.

Before going on the food arrived and they would eat. Kiralexia would eat a bit of the sundae he himself got and felt like melting. He also snuck a bite of Bakugou's food and immediately regretted it. Fire shot out of his mouth and he demanded milk instantly. Once he got that drink Bakugou laughed a bit and called out karma. Malin during all of this laughed a bit as they enjoyed there company.

After food they all decided that now was a good time to leave. Kiralexia got up, paying for the meal and alcohol, which he had finished before food arrived, and thanks him for the hospitality. Kirishima and Bakugou would leaved first, with Bakugou saying 'I'm driving this time Motherfucker!', as he exited. Kaminari left next still a bit dumbfounded with all the new information that just entered his head. Jirou left alongside, leaving only Ashido and Kiralexia in there looking at Malin. Kiralexia leaned and squinted his eyes before speaking.

"What are your deals with the League anyways?"

"Nothing much, simply trying to find sources on who YOU are. Boy there gonna be sore asses when they realize who you are."

"Huh alright, take care Malin and stay safe."

"Oh I will, you know me." Malin said waving goodbye to Kiralexia and Ashido as the left.

Malin then smile and bit nodding before walking into his office. He locked the door quickly and began taking a call. As the phone rang his smile faded into a serious face. The phone was then picked up and the voice on the other side was deep, smooth, and precise.

"Hello?"

"Hey, I think it's about time we talk about that job of ours." Malin said with a smirk now on his face. New deals where about to made.
