"SOMBODY JUST JUMPED OFF THE ROOF" she screamed. She stood bolting out of the office leaving her father and Sylvia stunned for a minute. Her father quickly excused himself from the meeting allowing his secretary to reschedule. The guards outside were in a momentary state of shock but were soon chasing after they young mistress as she was shouting instructions. Reaching the stairs she yanked them open and raced downstairs discarding her heels in the process. The guards began yelling into their radios while one followed the Momo the other raced to the roof.
She hit the street in burst from the side exit bracing to see a body of some sort but she saw nothing. Before her was a pink haired girl with cross hair eyes standing near a pile of ash looking up the sky.
"DID YOU SEE THEM, THE PERSON WHO JUMPED" she yelled at the girl. She ran up to her trying to get her attention as people on the street were stopping and staring at the site. The pink haired girl turned to her, whatever daze she was under seeming to disappear.
"Yea I did it was a boy he had green hair."
"Then what happened?"
"I don't know. I got here and I didn't see anything, no body, no one flying away, no heroes nothing but this pile of ash where he should have landed."
Momo looked down at the pile she could feel the heat on her feet through her stockings realizing she was barefoot. Security came dashing to her side. Her father and more security emerged from the main entrance looking around before he approached his daughter demanding an explanation. As Momo was trying to explain her father while not saying anything had a look of disbelief on his face. The pink haired girl standing there turned and spoke.
"She is not lying, I saw it to. I was over there" She pointed to the alley. "Actually I was on the street over and I looked over and saw him fall I even called the police." Holding her phone up as evidence. "When I got here all I saw was this pile of ash though. Which is weird because it's not dissipating. And it's still warm."
"How could you have seen it from way over there young miss if you don't mind me asking" Momo's father said.
The girl pointed to her eyes. "My quirk allows me to see fine details kind of like a super zoom function. I was looking at the sky to see if it was going to rain when I was zooming out I saw him fall."
A sudden wind wrapped around them, and the ash began to spiral up into the sky and dissipate. Mei noticed that it wasn't actually dissipating but instead just disappearing. One of the security officers leaned in and whispered into Mr. Yaoyorozu's ear. Momo noticed he had a puzzled look on his face before asking telling to officer to have security start reviewing the footage immediately.
"Father what happened?"
"We should probably discuss this inside." He turned to the pink haired girl. "Miss?"
Mei turned to him and really seemed to notice him for the first time. "Oh my god I am Mei Hatsume. Jumping forward very abruptly. Your Mr. Yaoyorozu. OMG, I don't have my babies with me FUCK." She said loudly grabbing her hair.
"Babies?" Momo and her father exclaimed looking around suddenly.
"I should run home and get them. You will love them then you can hire me on the spot no U.A for me."
"U.A? You're planning on going o U.A as well?" Momo asked. "Are your babies' inventions?"
"Yup, Yup."
"Oh."
Her father stepped forward. "Miss Hatsume was it. This is not quite the time. But why don't we step inside, and we can set up an appointment for you later."
Mei seemed to by that logic and stepped inside. Momo lead her to conference room saying he will join them shortly.
Mei followed Momo with a spring in her step into the elevator, reaching into her pocket and pulling out the vial with the ash. Momo took a moment to turn from the girl and make a new pair of shoes for herself. Mei saw the glow and immediately pressed forward invading the Heiress's space.
"Holy cow is that your quirk, you can make shoes?"
"No" Momo stammered for a moment not use to strangers in invading her space like this. "I can use the lipids in my body to create almost anything as long as I know the molecular structure."
"Are you fucking kidding me? God if I could do that imagine what kind of babies I could make. I would have endless materials. Hey, want to come back to my place and make babies?"
Momo felt a hot blush run through her for a second. "Not tonight Ms. Hatsume."
Visibly disappointed Mei shoulders shrunk in for a moment before exploding out "Mei call me Mei. Then how about?"
The elevator doors opened and Momo was never so happy for such a thing before. "Oh look we have arrived, lets go the conference room" This girl was a whirlwind. Being so close and say such crazy things without a care in the world. I wish I could be as free.
Momo lead Mei to the conference room. As the entered Mei began wandering around looking at the tech in the room. Momo was glad for a moment before finding her seat; however her respite was short lived and Mei bounded over to the seat next to her and pulled herself closer to Momo.
"Hey… Hey… wait. What's your name?"
Momo realized she had forgotten to introduce herself; putting some a slight distance between them so she could face the girl she stood and gave a slight bow. "I'm very sorry Ms. Hatsume"
"Just Mei works."
Momo paused. "My name is Momo Yaoyorozu"
"Hummm. Yea to much Momo or maybe Mo? No Mo is to boyish. Momo it is."
Part of Momo was slightly offended by this sudden declaration to call her Momo or Mo. She barely knew this girl. "Yaoyorozu works as well"
"Nope, to long its Momo. Oh, I should go. I need to get reveres engi… I mean go home and comb my hair. Yea that's the ticket."
"Wait Mei…." Momo couldn't let her leave yet. "You haven't had a chance to set up an appointment with my father yet."
"Damnit you are right. Hey what's your number?"
"My number?"
"Yea your phone number so we can have you come over and make babies."
She was like a hyped up on caffeine and sugar puppy.
Before anything else could be said the door swung open and in walked her father with a few members of security. One of the members walked over and slide a few forms in front of Momo and Mei. "Mei if you would be so kind as to fill out a statement for us."
"I really don't want to."
"Well then you are free to go but I'm afraid I won't be able to have make an appointment with my secretary if you decide to do so."
Mei looked across the table at the man before scrunching up her nose and grabbing the paper and offered pen she started to scribble down her statement. Momo glanced at her father seeing him nod to her she began to do the same. "Did the camera's find anything?"
"No"
Momo knew he was lying. There had to be something. As they finished the statements. Her father's secretary came in and made an appointment for Mei in two months. Her father had Momo escort Mei downstairs. As they were in the elevator Mei keep trying to get Momo's number so they could make babies. When the elevator doors opened Mei stepped out and turn to watch as the doors began to close.
"The ashes didn't dissipate the simply disappeared."
"What?!" exclaimed Momo.
"The ashes disappeared."
The elevators doors closed, and it began its climb back to the conference room. When they opened, she saw her fathers secretary. Before the women could leave Momo got Mei's number from her. Momo entered the conference room. "What did the camera's see?"
Her father turned to her and turned on the tv. She saw the screen come to life and then it get really fuzzy all off a sudden as signal was scrambled. After a brief moment the camera shifted views and it saw the door open and the static followed the unknow person down the stairs and out the building the video feeds being disrupted the entire time. The camera shifted back to the roof. If what happened before it was even stranger now. The roof could be seen this time but there was a person standing there but their entire upper body was being distorted. All that could be seen where some generic school pants with red high-tops. The saw a bag on the roof; it open the be dropped back down with a notebook sticking out. They saw the distorted image climb the fence and jump. Right as Momo was about to ask about the bag they saw a portal open and a hand reach out and pull the bag into before vanishing.
"What the Hell is that?" Momo spat out. "This is insane."
"Exactly we are going to have main security come in, I already the main branch and we have some electronic specialist coming into review the footage and cameras."
Her father exited the room signaling for Momo to follow him. "Are you going to keep your appointment with Ms. Hatsume?"
"No" her father responded raising an eyebrow. "I just did that to get her statement. If she's any good I am sure I will hear about from the scouts. Why?"
"Nothing Father. I just wanted to make sure I was following you the same train of thought."
"Good Girl. Now let's go home."
Midoriya awoke in the white room, his head hurt his body hurt. He wasn't lying on Jean's lap anymore he was just lying on the ground. He stood slowly as everything hurt, but at least he wasn't burning. He was alone. He just stood there then the pain began to fade he looked down at himself he was naked. Holy shit what is going on. Wait where did all this muscle come from. He looked down apparently something else had increased. He felt a blush for a moment but it wasn't as bad as he knew it should be. Where are my clothes he wondered? Then a thought began to form in his head and suddenly he had clothes. How did I do that? He pondered briefly but he could feel the knowledge there. He could feel a lot of knowledge there.
"I knew you would catch on quick."
He spun and saw Jean we was wearing a skin tight white suite with golden boots and gloves with a stylized symbol of the phoenix on her chest. He found his eyes linger over her body in a way that would have left him a sputtering mess. But instead his mind just fired a mile a minute the only outside tell was his pinky tapping rapidly.
Jean smirked "Like what you see?"
"Yea" he responded. Quickly he put both hands over his mouth. He was stunned for two reasons one he responded so quickly but he know he meant it and he was not ashamed of it. The second his voice sounded deeper. More like a man than a boy. His voice was already changing before but there were still cracks more than he would like to say due to his nervous nature. He pondered it; he could remember everything, the abuse, the neglect, the shame. He even thought about Bakugo for a moment. Bakugo not Kaachan. He thought about how he was treated and there was anger and rage there. No desire to gain acceptance from Bakugo. No need to be friends.
"Careful Izuku, don't give into the rage."
"But… I want to hurt him so bad. I want to make him feel what he did to me. I want to break him" he stood there he could feel the rage he felt fire erupt around him a dark red fire with a black at the tips.
Jean looked at him and raised her hand and the fire simply went away.
Midoriya was stunned. Where did the fire go? Why wasn't he burning?
Jean smiled placing her hand on his shoulder. "You need to be careful if your "darker" emotions take to much of a hold on you things will go bad very fast and very quickly."
Midoriya mind was filled with images of Jean filled with rage and the fires of the Phoenix reaching and snuffing a star. Oh shit.
"Yes, exactly which is why I haven't released you yet. We are going to work on control of your emotions and you powers."
"My powers?"
"Yes, you may have some different than I but there are some that all members of the Phoenix share now tell me what they are"
"How would…" he started but he knew it. It was in his head, Telepathy, Telekinesis, Pyrokinesis. He knew he had it he know he could control them. He knew that he could back them with the power of the phoenix. The Phoenix. He could sense it. It was a part of him but also everywhere. A sense of the Cosmic filled him. Powers he was unaware danced just out his reach.
She smiled. "Can you feel it the Power of the Phoenix on the edges of you mind?"
"Yes. What is it?"
"Power, you must discover yourself. Power that will help you with your mission."
Before he could ask the question, he knew the answer. Jean had plunged knowledge into his head. Academics, Battle Tactics, How to fight, dodge, scientific knowledge, History, art, how to drive, all kinds of things. That was why his mind hurt so much. Why it was engulfed in fire.
"So I just need to learn to control my emotions?"
"No, you need to understand and deal with them. Not lock them away until you explode and in turn destroy everything. And you will need to learn your powers you have the knowledge but not the practical experience. Knowledge of how to fight and the experience of doing so are two different things."
"So how do I get the experience?"
A sadistic grin crossed her face. She spread her arms wide the fire erupting around her and she lifted herself into the air. People began to materialize from behind her. He recognized them; her friends her allies, her lovers, her children and her enemies. "I am going to beat it into you."
He was scared but something he didn't expect he was excited. Deku was dead. There was only the Phoenix. The fire erupted around him. "Bring it"
