Tkdboy: Turn around, Scolo
Scolo: "Oh. Uh..." turns around "Hello!"
Oh, greetings Scolo. It is good to meet you.
Scolo: "It's nice to meet you too! Soshi was a bit too busy to come, so I came instead."
Tkdboy: Of course.
(Nod) I understand. So youknow why you're here today?
Scolo: "...No. All I know is that you needed a guest..."
Tkdboy: You're here to say the disclaimer. Here

Scolo: "How did I...?"
I have my ways~
Tkdboy: ...Right...
Okay, let's get on with the story before this get's way to long.
Tkdboy: Right.
Onto the chapter.
Chapter 4: Blood and Steel
A few days had past since the incident at the beach with the girl, Himiko Toga. She was questione dabout why she did what she did and that her Quirk was calling for blood to sustain her. They asked if her parent's did anything to help, and was told to just ignore it, them calling it a 'Villain's Quirk'. She was now staying with the Hikaru's for protection until coart.
Soshi was there, trying to think of a way to further curb Hikame's hunger for blood.
"Could blood tablit's work?" Hansuke asked, in a pondering positsion. "If we could, we'd give her blood form the blood banck, but there's no law forQuirk's that need blood to be given... Which I see is a huge oversight..."
"There's also artificial blood... I mean, we've seen the cell structure and know the chemicals..."
"Well yeah, but we don't know whast kind of side effect's thatr could cause, let alone do to her with her Quirk," Hansuke added. "Although, if it gave her a robotic form or something, that would be cool to see."
Himiko was just laying down on a couch, head held by her arm when she heard the ideas, and was wonderuing abbout the artifical blood. "Wait, you two actually made artificial blood? That's so cool~ Can I test that out~?"
"I mean... I know the chemicals needed," Soshi stated, "but I haven't actually made it yet. Mainly due to fears of accidentally winding up with something like the Ultimate Carnage symbiote."
"Ultimate What-Now?" she asked, confused, but still having her smile.
"A comic book villain. A parasitic entity made almost entirely out of blood that eats people, leaving behind only clothes and anything that's not body fluid."
"Sound's cool~" Himiko stated, smiling.
Hansuke rolls his eyes but smiles. "You're an odd one, Himiko, but not in a bad way."
"Yeah." Scolo nods.
"Well, not in a bad way so far," Soshi states.
Hansuke slaps him over the head. "Be more considerate, you emotionless imbaciel..."
"Sorry," Soshi states. Still as emotionless as ever.
Himiko giggles at the banter. Just then Izuku walked in. "Sorry for the wait guys, was out training still."
"Understandable," Soshi states.
Izuku took a seat, which was a bit hard with his new body. "So what were you guys going over?" he asked his friends.
"What to do to help Himiko with her Quirk's urgaes," Hansuke answered. He then pointed at Soshi. "And trying to make sure num-nuts over her doesn't speak badly about her."
Soshi pulls out a remote and presses a button. A floating robot hand comes out of nowhere and dope-slaps Hansuke.
"Hey! Don't get mad at me for speaking the truth like you bluntly do!" Hansuke barks at Soshi for that.
Soshi sends the robot hand away as he shrugs and looks away.
Himiko giggles at the two. "You two are funny~"
"... I guess so," Soshi states, still as emotionless as usual as he gets up to get some water.
"So what's with Mr. Roboto there?" Himiko asked the other, pointing her thumb at Soshi.
"He's... well, a rock knows more emotions than him..." Scolo states.
"I can see that..." Himiko stated in a deadpan. "I mean, how is he like that, is it his Quirk or somrthing?"
Scolo shrugs. "I think it's his Quirk... but I honestly don't know, myself... He seems to consider emotions obstacles in the way of knowledge..."
"He's an idiot..." she stated, flatly.
Scolo nods.
"By the way, where's Mei?" Izuku asked, not seeing their other exentict inventor.
"... I don't know, actually. Last I heard her, she was making... something for you to spar," Scolo states.
"... Why does that fill me with both dread and exictement...?" Izuku qutioned.
Atlus then appered and stated, [It is a valid feeling, she does tend to let her gadits explode most of the time.]
"Oh, that reminds me, I made two new A.I.s," Hansuke stated.
"Really? More?"
"What?" he asked confused. "I made Jeeves. I wanted to make more. I have a fourth one almost done too."
".. Alright, then," Scolo says as she sighs.
"Want me to show the two?" he asked them all.
Himiko raised her hand to get their attention. "Uh, new girl still, I though Izuku's Quirk had a built in AI, was it actually made?"
"He has one built-in A.I.," Soshi stated, "but he can have up to four more installed. We've already filled in two slots."
"And I can get mopre later on," Izuku added, show the AI chip ports on the back of his neck, after moving his hair, showing the two that had Jeeves and Ada's chips. "I just need to increase my mental capasity, which I do by studing, analizing and doing puzzels."
Himiko looked awe struck. "That's so cool~"
Hansuke then pulled out holo disk. "Well then, for all you Halo and Red Vs. Blue fans here~ (A/N 1)" her said, talking to his friends. "Here are Church and Cortana~" The two then appeared.
[Yo,] Church greeted.
"...As long as Cortana doesn't go crazy and Church doesn't start fragmenting, I'm fine with it," Soshi states.
[Hey now,] Cortana stated, a bit miffed. [He didn't put that funtion in.]
[... He may have done that, but only that they become full AIs if they do,] Church stated. [Making sure they don't go crazy in wantinhg to reform.]
"Still, just to be on the safe side, try to avoid freaking out."
[Hey, I never freak out,] Church stayed. This made those who watch his show deadpan in disbelief. [... What?]
"... 'Each and every one of you is just a problem that I have to deal with on a daily basis' ringing any bells?" Scolo asks him.
Church, who had a helmet, looked sheepish. [Well... I...]
Cortana giggled. [They got you there~]
[Oh shut it...]
Soshi nods as he looks around the room.
Mei then kicked the door open, her manic smile on her face.
"Gah!" Scolo took a few steps back, not expecting Mei to pop up.
"I'm finished~!" she shouted in a singsong voice.
Ada appears. [And you're sure it's not going to blow up?] she inquires.
"Oh, ye have little faith," Mei stated, waving off the AI.
"Is it unfounded?" Soshi asks sarcastically.
[Sarcasim aside,] Jeeves started, apearing, [What is it that you made?"]
"A sparring bot!" Mei shouts.
"...That's it? Kinda underwhelming," Scolo states.
"A sparring bot with different modifications for different Quirks! A tail, extra limbs, a strong grip to simulate a biting Quirk, soft robotics for tentacle-based Quirks..." She goes on a rant like Izuku normally goes on.
Church looke to and from Mei and Izuku and then asked, [Are you two related or something?]
"N-No! We're not related, I swear!" Izuku shouts, waving his arms.
[Just checking, cuase you two have a LOT of simularities is all,] Church stated.
[I agree with blue boy here,] Cortana stated, getting a [Hey!] from said AI.
Izuku sulks a bit.
"Is he wrong?" Scolo asks Izuku.
"... No..."
"Anyways, Mei," Hansuke started, changing the subject. "Where'd you put this creation of yours?"
Mei smiles.
"It's in your workshop! Although I didn't turn it off."
"WHAT!?" Soshi shouts. He then almost immediately leaves.
(Few minute later)
Said robot was in the middle of destroying Soshi's prototype Hero Costume.
The group saw this. "Mei, turn it off!" Izuku told her. Mei was a bit too busy getting beaten up by Soshi to turn off the robot. "Soshi, we need her to turn it off!" Izuku shouted in shock. Soshi stops and lets Mei turn off the robot.
She goes over to it and turned it off. "Guess I got excited~"
Soshi sighs as he goes over to his Hero Costume. It wasn't to damaged, but it did have a lot of denting. Soshi sighs. "Aww, great..."
"A-At least it isn't to bad..." Izuku said, sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head.
"But now I need to fix it. Thanks a lot, Mei. And you wonder why I don't like you."
Mei waves it off. "Eh, you can just fix it," she said, nonsholontly.
"It's the principle of the matter, Mei! Even if I can fix it, it's still your fault it was destroyed in the first place!"
Hansuke pulled both party's ears, stopping them from another pointless banter. "Will you two stop this..."
"Ow ow ow... fine..." Soshi says, still upset.
"Alright, alright," Mei stated, pouting.
Soshi sighs as he goes to work repairing his costume.
Himoko leaned over to Scolo, whispering, "Is this normal...?"
"...Sadly, yes. Soshi doesn't really get emotions, but he and Mei hate each other. And Hansuke is usually the voice of reason."
"And I'm guessing Han tries to make them see eye to eye but because they like day and night, yin anf yang, tyhat doesn't go over well?" she asked her.
"Pretty much..."
"Do they ever try to listen to Han?"
"Soshi does. Mei... well, Mei does whatever Mei wants to do."
"Hey, I listen!" Mei shouted, hearing them. "I just tend to take it as advice."
Scolo sighs.
Himiko giggles. "I like her~" she stated in her cheeser smile.
"Uh, Himiko, you're not relasing again are you?" Izuku asked, using her first name after they became friends with troubled backgrounds.
Himiko stiffened, realizimg she might have. "Sorry, old habits die hard, and it's not easy to curve the cravings."
"I get it, but still... maybe you should be more careful," Scolo states.
She pouted at her. "You try having a Quirk that makes you need for the one thing it needsand you tell me how easy it is..."
Scolo blinks.
"I have a Quirk that makes me physically look like a monster, complete with venom being produced in the mouth. No one wanted to associate with me by virtue of my appearance. I just got lucky."
Himiko looked sad, remembering how lonely she was. "Yeah... you got luck to find friends..."
The others gaver her a flat look, even if she couldn't see it, she knew the others were giving it to her.
"..." Scolo just stays quiet.
"Good going Scolo..." Izuku stated, sweatdropping. He then went over to comfert Himiko. "It's okay now, you have us now, and if Hansuke's parents get the case and win, you'll be Hansuke's new sister."
"Always wanted a sibling," Hansuke stated, turthfully.
"Huh, Himiko Hikaru..." she pondered over the name. "I kinda like it~"
Scolo nods in agreement.
"And knowing dad and his dragon pride," Hansuke stated, a smirk on his face, "he won't let this slide, and go for trying to instate a new law."
"I wonder how that's going to go..." Soshi ponders.
"Hey, heroes have had new laws made," Izuku pointed out. "Rememer Midnight's debut? Well Himiko could be the first to help people like her that have Quirks that need blood or stuff like that. She could be a hero to hundreds."
"Right, right," Soshi says, waving his hand as he goes back to repairing his suit.
Church appeared and asked, [Okay, if Izuku and Mei aren't related, could Soshi and Mei be?]
"No."
"No."
"No."
"Hell no!"
[Really? Because you two have more simularites then Izuku,] he pointed out.
"We do not!" both shouted at the AI.
Church gave a flat look, which was impressive given he wore a helmet. [Really now...?]
"...Well..." Scolo starts, but she stops herself.
[What's wrong?]
"Nothing," Scolo states.
[O...kay...?] he stated, confused.
[How's the suit?] Cortana asked popping up.
"Almost done," Soshi said, "just a few more adjustments."
"So should Izuku test out the training bot now?" Himiko asked.
"W-well, after seeing it do that to Soshi's costume, wh-which is made of a stronger metal.." Izuku stammers.
"Izuku, you're going to have to face worse things then at training bot," Hansuke pointed out.
"He's not wrong, Izuku," Scolo states.
"... I'm going to be in a world of hurt... aren't I...?" he asked, sighing in defeat.
"Yep," Soshi states, still devoid of emotion.
"You could show a little emotion..." Izuku stated, flatly.
"... Emotions? Don't know what those are, if they're some form of birth defect, I'd rather not," Soshi states.
Hansuke hit him over the head with a monky wrench. "And you're a moron for thinking that."
Soshi catches the wrench. "Thanks, I was looking for this," he says as he takes the wrench and uses it to tighten something on his costume's spaulder.
Hansuke took one of the suit gauntlets and slapped him with it, hitting him sucsesfully. "Will you be serious about your lack of emotions you Shedon-Wannabe!"
"... Okay, first off, ow. Second, why should I?"
"Because it's helps with morality..." he stated bluntly. "Which you seem to lack at times..."
"...At least I'm still on the morally right. I would never experiment on people, even Villains, and I'm still going to be a Hero," Soshi states.
"What do you call doing when we were kids...?" all his friends asked in a deadpan.
Soshi stays quiet.
"... I think he's a lost cause," Toga states.
"He's just to prideful to admit he's wrong..." Izuku stated.
Soshi sighs, gets up, and leaves.
Izuku blinked, ands looked at the others. "Was it something I said...?" he asked them.
"Probably," Scolo says.
"I should go apologize to him..." Izuku said.
"I'm... sure he'll get over it," Scolo states uncertainly.
"Now to test my baby!" Mei shouted.
Scolo immediately leaves the lab. The others follow.
"WAIT DON'T LEAVE ME AGAIN!" Izuku shouts. Too late. Everyone but Mei's left. Mei turns the training robot back on. This made Izuku pale in fear.
[Welp... You're scwered,] Church stated.
[Not the words I would use, but indeed, we may be in a bit of trouble,] Ada states.
Mei finishes turning the robot on and walks out of the lab. It started to transform into a gaint mecha monster. "Uh... Guys..." Izuku whimpered out to his five AIs. "A little help here...?"
[... Target the joints. Always go for the joints,] Ada suggests.
[Uh, looks like Madam Mei acouinted for that...] Jeeves stateed, pointed at the armored joints.
Atlus aoppeared. [Maybe you could hack into it now, you're able to do that with machiens.]
[... He can?] Ada asked, confused.
Cortana popped up, [Turns out he can, but it's not that strong.]
[... I'll have to make a note of that...] Ada states.
[That may come in handy later on,] Church stated
"Uh, guys," Izuku called, getrting all five of his AIs' atention, "big robot training dumb about to kill me... Help!"
[Okay... I can at least help you dodge its attacks,] Ada said.
"That would be useful right about now..." Izuku statedm, the bot attacking.
[Duck left!] Ada shouts as the robot attacks.
Izuku did so, something poping out of Izuku's lower legs, and bursts of air made him move faster. "Woah!" he shouted, regaining his balancer. He then asked, "Whjat was thhat?"
[Seems you just got a new upgrade for your Quirk,] Cortana stated. [Some sort of air boosters.]
[A bit contrived... but handy nonetheless,] Ada states.
[Well Izuku is a bit in danger,] Church pointed out. [Stress and fear for your life are considered a good way of evolving a Quirk, or so I read.]
[... Of course...] Ada says. She seems... just a bit on the dumb side.
[Are you feeling alright Ada?] Atlus asked her.
[...Soshi wanted to make a more human AI than often seen in fiction. As such... he programmed me with only basic skills and the capability to learn,] Ada states.
The other AI's face palmed while Izuku had a flat look. "Okay, note to self, have Soshi fix that, if I'm still alive after this..."
[What? I personally don't think it's a bad idea, having an AI capable of becoming their own person instead of having a set personality,] Ada says, [Although... given his lack of understanding emotions, I don't really get how he managed to program me like this... also, duck.]
The robot takes a swing at Izuku. Izuku ducked under the swing.
[We're not saying that's a bad thing,] Cortana corrected. [He shoould have added more knolegde is all.]
[... Maybe...]
[Talk about it later,] Church ordered. [We still have that mnonster to fight!]
[Right! Izuku, jump now!] Ada ordered.
The robot went for a low sweep. Izuku did waht he was told and activated his air boosters at well, getting on the thing's head. The robot made a swing at Izuku. A hammer swing. Despite Izuku standing on its head. Izuku got off, making it hit itself.
Church stated laughing. [BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That was like a seen from an old cartoon!]
The robot hit hard enough to hammer its head straight through its body and onto the ground.
[... Okay... that was kinda funny...] Ada said, looking like she was struggling to not laugh. Church looked like he was going to die from laugher.
"Okay, not what I planned, but that works," Izuku muttered. "I wanted to test my hacking on it..."
[...Oh well... we can have Soshi or Mei make a weaker robot...] Ada suggested.
[You do seem to have the luck of Master Chief though~] Cortana stated with a smirk.
[Definitely,] Ada said.
"Is that a good thing?" Izuku asked.
[More then you know,] Cortana answered. Ada nods.
"I guess I should talk to the others now," Izuku thought outloud.
[Maybe,] Ada states.
Izuku did so.
(Same time as Izuku)
The other had made it outside for Izuku to fight, when Himiko asked them, "Was it a good idea to leave Izuku in there?"
"Well, he has the AI to help him," Soshi states.
"Yeah, but Mei built the thing," Himiko pointed out.
"Yep, I did~!" Mei stated, proudly.
"And it might kill him," Scolo states.
Mei pouts at them. "You have no faith in me."
"You've never given us a good reason to," Soshi said.
"And you need to stop being a hard ass," Mei pointed out. "You have no creativity!"
"And you have a lot of ideas that you don't fully work through before moving on to the next one, causing major defects, including some of them exploding."
"I can't just let a good idea get away from me!" Mei shot back.
"Then write it down and finish what you're currently working on," Soshi counters.
"Why write it down if it get's misplaced or someone takes it, say you?" she asked.
"Why would I take one of your ideas!? Also, haven't you ever heard of computers and passwords!?"
"If it ain't built by me, It ain't good," Mei stated, proudly.
"More like if it's not built by you, it won't blow up," Soshi states, deadpan.
They were then chopped over the head by Hansuke. "Why won't you two try to get along..."
"Why do you think? She's not as bright as she paints herself," Soshi states.
"And you belittle everyone who doesn't match your intellagence!" Mei shouted.
"... She's not wrong..." Scolo admits.
"You do tend to do that," Hansuked agreed.
"I haven't been around you long, but even I know that's true," Himiko stated.
Soshi sighs. "Okay, I might be a bit... pretentious."
"A little?" they all asked, raising an eyebrow.
"... A lot pretentious..."
"Addmiting you have a problem is the first step of fixxing it," Hansuke stated. Scolo nods in agreement.
"... Even I'll admit that I have a problem..." Mei stated, looking away.
"... Great, whoop-dee-do, we all have problems now," Toga states. Everyone blinks and looks at Hansuke, realizing that he never admitted to having one.
Hansuke blinked. "What?" he asked confused.
"... Everyone here has some sort of issue. Even Izuku, with his doormat personality," Soshi states.
"Everyone but you," Scolo adds.
"H-Hey, I try to make sure I learn what they are so I can fix them right away," Hansuke pointed out. "I still have trouble with my temper when it come to people insulting my friends and family..." He remembered what he did to Katsuki in class three months ago. Had to help pay for the hole in the wall.
"... So, bloodthirsty-" Toga points at herself "-short temper-" points at Hansuke "-pretentious-" points at Soshi "-rash-" points at Mei "-blind and self-loathing-" points at Scolo "-and an extreme doormat." points at the workshop door. "Did I get that right?"
"Seems so," Hansuke shrugged. "We're a bunch of socil outcast that what to prove the world wrong about us."Scolo nods in agreement. He then put a fist inbetween them all for a group fistbump. "Heroes of Hope~"
"Heroes of Hope!"
Toga didn't join for fairly obvious grabbed her hand with his other to join them. "You to Himiko, you're part of our group too~"
She looked shocked, "D-Do you really mean it?" she askjed, hopefully, getting a nod form said boy.
"As head of the group, you are a member as far as I'm consern~" he answered her, making her cry in happyness, feeling like she found a real family.
Scolo and Mei both nod as they also take her hand.
"Well, technically-" Soshi started, hand on his chin and eyes closed.
"Soshi, just hold hands!" Scolo states.
Soshi's hand stays on his chin and his eyes remain closed, but he joins in with his other hand.
"Actually, it's a group fist bump," Hansuke and Himiko pointed out.
Soshi moves to fistbump instead.
Just then, Izuku walked out of the shop. "Hey guys..."
"Izuku," Soshi acknowledges.
"Beat then darn thing..." he stated. They then see Izuku's new upgrades on his legs.
"... When did those pop up?" Soshi asked.
"Right when I was fighting Mei Battle Sparing Bot..."
"How convenient," Scolo muttered to herself.
[Like Church stated,] Cortana started, popping up, [stress is a good way of evolving a Quirk.]
"... Fair enough," Scolo states.
Himiko kneeled to look at Izuku's new features. "What are these anyways?"
[Jet boosters,] Ada states, [capable of boosting him in one direction. Not quite capable of flight.]
"... Why do I feel like there was a hero that had something like that...?" Hansuke asking, going into a thinking postion.
(With All Might)
All Might was on his way home, when he felt a shiver run over his body. "... Why do I have a feeling of foreboding...?" he asked no one paticulare, not knowing what his succesor did until they met up. Or who he'll have to call for help said boy.
(Back with the group)
"... Wasn't his name Ingenium or something...?" Scolo asks.
"No... It was someone else, before him... Wasn't well known..." Hansuke stayted, still thinking but couldn't get the name foer some reason, and he was as good at remembering heroes like Izuku.
"Really? Not Ingenium? ...huh," Scolo said.
Hansuke shrugs. "Eh, it'll come back to me when it comes."
Soshi shrugs. "Irrelevant right now," he states.
"For once, you said something sensible," Hansuke stated, making Soshi erck.
"...For once?" Scolo asks Hansuke.
"Hey, you know as much as I do that he'll say somethink he thinks is right, and it won't be for the sicuation."
Soshi sighs as he acknowledges the point.
Himiko giggles at all of this. "I think I've found real friends finally~"Scolo pats Himiko on the back.
(Next Day: Aldera Junior High)
Like how Himiko Toga was staying with Hikaru's, she was transfered to Aldera Junior High for the last of her classes. Himiko looked giddy. "This school maybe different from my old school, but I feel like this will be good for me~"
"... I'm still amazed they allowed you to transfer," Soshi says.
"Maybe they though it would be good for her, after they found out what her parents were doing," Hansuke pointed out. He was told that the school was looking into it with his parents and the polices' help with Himiko's parental abuse.
Izuku nodded. "Not all school are like ours you know," Izuku added.
Church popped up adding, [Yes, and some can be worse.]
"Like the ones in America?" Scolo asks.
"Yeah. Sometimes," Soshi responds.
[Depends on the State you live in,] Atlus pointed out.
[And the county. And the teachers.] Ada added.
"I'm just wonder how Kacchan and Himiko will interact," Izuku pointed out.
"... Oh dear..." Soshi mutters to himself.
[Welp... This is going to be entertaining,] Church stated. Soshi nods in agreement. Izuku just groans.
"... Hm. This... yikes. Let me know when to hide," Scolo states.
They get to their class room and took a seat, their classmates had gotten use to Izuku and his new appearnce. One asked, "Hey, who's the new girl?" the one that can turn some of his body to rock.
"A new sibling," Soshi quickly fibs.
"Adoupted," Hansuke added, not a coplet lie. "Something bad happened to her old family." Soshi and Scolo nod.
"Cool," the boy said. "What's her Quirk?"
"Uh, you won't freak out will you?" Izuku asked.
"Dude, you came back the next day as a living Gundam... That can still evolve more from what you told us... Any other Quirk shouldn't be crazeir then yours..." he pointed out.
"... Shapeshifting. Via blood consumption," Soshi state.
"... Okay, that's kinda cool, like a cool vampire," he stated, surprising the group. He then asked, "Does that include a persons Quirk?"
"... I've never tried actually..." Himiko stated, actually wondering that herself now. Soshi shrugs.
Cortana pops up. [Anyone want to donate their blood to test it?] she asked the group.
"You guys masde Cortana from Halo?" the boy asked.
"And Church from Red VS. Blue," Hasnsuke added.
Church popped up and greete with a, [Yo.]
"I still don't agree with their creation..." Soshi mutters to himself. Himiko cuffed him over the head.
[And you're just an ass,] Church bluntly stated.
"Owww..." Soshi mutters to himself.
"How do you guys cope with him...?" the boy asked, pointing at Soshi.
"... I have no idea," Scolo states.
"We try to correct him and fix him," Hansuke stated. Soshi sighs.
[Hey, you're the one who's worse then Sheldon from Big Bang Thoery,] Church stated.
"... Am I as bad as Gamma?" Soshi asks Church.
Church thought for a second and did an so-so gester. [Sometimes, at least you don't do those damn Knock, Knock Jokes...]
"... I'll take that answer."
"Anyways, back to your friend," the boy stated, changing the conversation back to Himiko.
"Right. So, what else do you need to know?" Soshi asks.
"Nothing really, although I would like to see the Transformation, if that's posible," he stated.
"... Uh..."
"You don't haver to if you don't want to," he stated.
"I would need to drink girl's blood, I may change but my cloths don't," Himiko pointed out.
"... I don't want to know what happens if you drank mine," Scolo states.
"Why?" she asked her.
Scolo says nothing, but taps her 40-something legs on the ground and clicks her forcipules together.
"You do know there's a hero like you right?" Himiko asked her.
"... Really?" Seems like she didn't know. The others looked at her.
"You don't know about Centipeder?" Izuku asked. "He's like you, but has the head of a ceniped."
"... Really?"
Izuku nods. "Yeah, and he's a gentalmen as well. He works with Sir Nighteye."
[... Could they be related?" Church asked.
"... I'm from the Philippines," Scolo states deadpan.
[Hey, I didn't know, you two maybe different types, but you have to admit it's uncanny.]
"... Maybe," Scolo admits.
[Could be distant cousins,] Jeeves stated, popping up.
"That's a distinct possibility," Soshi states.
"Might have to look into it," Hansuke stated.
Just then, the door slammed open anf Katsuki walked immediately makes a path for him. "What do you want, bug freak...?" he asked, annoyied.
"N-nothing! Just getting out of your way! Ha ha..." Scolo says nervously as she backs away.
"Is this that blond bomber you told me about?" she asked in a whisper to the others.
"Yes," Soshi states bluntly.
Katsuki then sees Himiko. "Who the fuck are you...?"
"... Do you want the short story or the long story?" Soshi asks him.
"Just tell me wise ass..." he growled.
"... She has a blood Quirk."
"Like Vlad King?" he asked.
"...No... her Quirk relies on blood consumption..."
"And?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"... And transformation based on the owner of the blood."
Katsuki raised an eyebrow and turns to Hansuke. "You have syringe?"
"Why...?" he asked.
"I want to see this," Katsuki answered.
Soshi sighs in annoyance at Bakugo as he pulls out a sterilized syringe. He grabs it and draws his own blood. This surprised everyone.
"... Huh!?" Scolo shouts.
[That... he might need some sugar to compensate for blood loss...] Ada mutters to herself.
[I'm more surprise he's the one going to give his blood...] Churuch stated.
He finished and gave her it. "I want to see this," he stated.
"Uh, you should know that my cloths-" Himiko tried to explain.
"Just drink it!" he barked out.
She turned to the others. "I tried to warn him," she stated. She theput the syringe to her mouth, and drainded it into her mouth, drinking it. "Not bad, bit spicy though."
"I think that would be because he sweats nitroglycerin," Soshi states.
Just then, Himiko's Quirk activated. A gray color like clay substance started flowing around Himiko, signaling her Quirk activation.
"Here we go," Soshi says.
The clay hardened into Katsuki's form, and gained color. And there stood an identical copy of Katsuki... only this one was in the girl's uniform.
"What the hell! Why are you still in a girls uniform!?" Katsuki shouted.
"I tried to warn you..." Himiko, now in Katsuki's voice, in a deadpan voice. "My Quirk only effects me, not my cloths..."
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS!" Katsuki roars in anger.
Himiko felt her anger rise, now being Katsuki's copy now. The two butted heads and Himiko roared, "I TRIED TO TELL YOU BUT YOU ORDERED ME TO DRINK IT WITH OUT ME EXPLAIN YOU GODDAMN ANGRY POMERANINION!"
"AGRY POM-" This ticked off Katsuki even more. "WHY YOU NO GOOD VAMPIRE COPY BITCH!" Just then, both of them then started making explosions in their hands. Realization then hit the two of them and the others, all of them looking at Himiko-Katsuki's hands. "Did you just...?" he asked and was answered when Himiko did it again.
[Guess she can copy Quirks as well,] Atlus stated.
[Making a note of that,] Ada states.
[Also add that her persinality becomes that of those she didnks the blood of," Church added.
[Adding,] Jeeves stated.
"WHAT THE HELL! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU ALSO COPY MY QUIRK AS WELL!?"
"I didn't know!" Himiko stated, loooking at her hand still. "I always though I just changed looks and voice. ... Not that my parents would let me test it out..." Himiko stated, having a sad look on her face.
"... Why the hell is that...?" Katsuki asked. Hansuke whispered in his ear why that was and his eye twitched. "Why the fuck would they say that to their own daughter!?" he roars in anger. The last few months had been an eye opener for Katsuki, he was still angry at times, but had to be to keep himself and his Quirk up. But he mellowed out a bit, but still had his moments, old habits die hard. He even apologized to Izuku... even if he was struggling to do it.
"... Honestly? No clue," Scolo says.
"Me and my old bat my but heads, but she never tell me something like that," Katsuki stated. "That's just fucked up, a Quirk is part of someone."
Just then, Himiko's Quirk was stopping, and it was melting like liquid clay.
"Time's up," Soshi said.
Himiko nodded, the claw vanishing. "Like I said before, different amount of blood, different amount of time."
"... Wow."
"Kinda cool," Katsuki stated. "Just... try and have a costume that can change with you..."
"Agreed," Soshi says. "...Wait."
"What?" they all ask.
"Did I just agree with Bakugo?"
The other then relized what he did and were in shock. "... These last few months have been a wild ride..." Izuku stated, getting nods from everyone.
