Izuku steadied his legs as the elevator came to a stop. He stepped forward as his exosuit shifted back to its inactive form. He breathed in, looking around the room. He had three hours unit he needed to be home.
Izuku breathed in, and swung his fist into the wall. "Why did you do that?!" He shouted. "All our work, our morals, traded away for a shortcut?!" he continued. By now his fist was slamming into the wall, a crater forming around it. "You Idiot!" He shouted.
"One slip up, a meeting with the Devil, and you sell your soul away." He lamented He turned, looking at the mirror in the room. "You fool, he gives you a hint and you just rolled over." he insulted himself. "All our work, now latched onto a sinister evil far worse than ourself." He said.
He swung his fist into the mirror, uncaring as glass cut into it and clattered to the floor. "You Fucking Idiot!!!!" He shouted.
He pulled his hand back, blood seeping onto the floor. "You've doomed yourself, all for a short sighted greed." He narrowed his eyes at the remains of the mirror. He looked down at his hand, gritting his teeth as pain set in.
He pulled out his phone in his other hand and pressed a button. A P.A.M. rolled into the room, a medical kit in its claws. "Thank you." He said to the robot as it began applying proper care to his injury.
He looked back at the shattered remains of the mirror. "You are lucky, lucky that he didn't find out who you are. Lucky that he couldn't hack through our AI. If you slip up again, we're toast." Izuku lectured himself as the P.A.M. finished up.
He breathed in to calm himself, before walking out the door to continue with his legal work.
Nedzu grimaced at he looked over the report. The Moles, the new name given to this group by the HSPC, had buried no less than seven warehouses and support company properties. Everything stolen from them in the dead of night.
The Terror beneath Japan.
The HSPC was counseling to redouble their efforts in taking them down. Yet there was no pattern to his thievery. Every building was in a different district, buried at a different time of day. The Moles had gotten so brazen that they were even stealing things in broad daylight rather than under the cover of moonlight now.
Yet everytime they would send heroes after these fiends, they would already be gone. Witnesses were of no help, always stuck on the floor with their muscles seized up by the Moles' weapons.
"Just great. First the Moles get worse, now we have a media break in today." Nedzu lamented. Looking over the files of some new staff he was meaning to hire. He needs all the man power he can afford, with the villains growing bolder day by day.
"Now, how to recruit sir Gentle and La Brava?" He muttered.
Afo smiled at the camera footage of their trade off. The Inventor was clearly a man of his word, the first quota was almost done already. It hadn't even been four days since their meeting.
He let out a chuckle. Today Tomura would strike the U.S.J. while All Might was present. He wasn't going to supply Tomura with any of the tech from the Inventor, he had already given him enough with the Noumu and Kurogiri. All he has to do is lean back and listen to the news.
He honestly doesn't care if they win or not. If he wins then All Might is dead, If he loses then All Might will be weakened. Either way All Might suffers and U.A. is called into question.
Society will be rocked, and disent will start to spread.
Afo tapped away at his tablet and called the doctor. "What's our current estimation on the infusions?" he asked. "Right now, it will be difficult. The Inventor makes high end stuff, it'll take time to integrate it into your life support system and the Noumu tanks. At the very least his tech is increasing our security systems tenfold." Garaki replied. "Good to hear, the sooner I can move freely, the better." Afo says.
"Yes my lord." Garaki said before hanging up. Afo smiled once more, his mind summoning images of the past infused with the future. Of heroes helpless against the war machines and battle ships of the past. Of the J.S.D.F. helpless as AI hack through their systems and disable their technology. As Nedzu is trapped in his own office, starving to death as his own safe house becomes a coffin.
And All Might, his head in his hands as his body lay stiff on the ground.
All this power, brought to him by a naive villain who wishes for such a change that society would never accept.
Izuku leaned back, letting the footage of his Azures at the U.S.J. give him some form of comfort. The idea that he was still helping people with his inventions, that he wasn't just sewing terror into their hearts. He closed the last video as he checked the time.
He had an hour left before he had to head home.
So Izuku changed his screens, sending the data to his local AIs so they could brainstorm ideas on improving the Azures. He pulled out the blueprints for his next creation as P.A.M.s rolled out the frames for it. "All Right, Let's see if I can finish this by tomorrow?" he muttered as he slipped on a set of gloves.
He took each piece into his hand, connecting them with bolts and screws. The P.A.M.s brought in wiring and circuitry as Izuku continued the assembly. Fifteen minutes passed before Izuku leaned back, removed the gloves, and looked upon his creation.
Just a bit taller than the P.A.M.s around it, rolling around on four airless tires rather than treads. It activated, rolling towards him and inspecting him with its screen face. On said screen was a pair of simple 'eyes' and 'mouth'. "Greetings, I am Unit 01, how may I be of assistance today?" The Droid asked him. Izuku held up his injured hand; "Inspection Mode please?" he asked.
The Droid looked down at the hand, a faint glow leaving its screen as it looked him over. "Hand wound caused by glass shards, the wound has been cleaned and bandaged prior to inspection. Suggestion is to clean and change bandages once a day to avoid infection while applying this cream to the area." The Droid suggested as an image of vaseline appeared on its screen.
"Thank you, dismissed." Izuku said. "Understood, please have a wonderful day." The Droid replied before shutting down. "Eri will love this." Izuku muttered as a pair of P.A.M. Units took the Droid to the shelves.
He checked the time, half an hour until he had to head home. Izuku smiled before he typed something else into the computer. "Might as well head home now." he muttered before standing up.
Eri held onto Inko's hand as Izuku guided them to the warehouse. Her head was covered by a large sunhat as her stuffed bunny remained in her hand. Mochi had to stay home, much to Eri's chagrin.
Izuku opened the doors, letting the P.A.M.s inside act as chauffeurs to his mother and 'sister'. "We're almost there, just be cautious of your ears." Izuku warned before they arrived to the main room. A pair of P.A.M.s rolled in with a decently sized object hidden by a tarp. "Mom, Eri, I want you two to name him." Izuku said as the P.A.M.s removed the tarp.
The Droid approached them slowly, a small smily face on its screen. Eri looked up at the machine with curiosity. "What is he meant for?" Inko asked. "He's a medical bot designed to aid doctors, nurses, and ambulance crews." Izuku answered. "I am currently know as Unit 01." The Droid chimed in.
"He can talk?" Inko asked. "Yes, he's meant to comfort and aid his patience." Izuku answered. "It is also to ensure that children can trust me." The Droid chimed in. Eri looked up at him, and slowly approached him. The Droid's 'eyes' shifted downwards; "Hello there, what do you require?" The Droid asked. "Can I call you Teddy?" Eri asked. "Of Course, I am now Teddy Unit 01." The now named Teddy replied.
Izuku smiled, watching as Eri got closer to smiling. "Each Unit is designed to accept a name from its owner, the name is meant to give them personality." Izuku explained to Inko. "Oh Izu, they'll love him." Inko said as they watched Teddy scan Eri.
"You are recovering from trauma, malnutrition, and many other factors. Current diagnosis says to continue with present treatment for best recovery. I hope you have a good day." Teddy said as Eri asked how she was. Then Teddy pulled out a lollipop from its torso and handed it to Eri. Inko looked over at Izuku with a raised brow. "That's a subroutine for children's hospitals and elementary schools. It can be added for other patients as well." Izuku answered his mother.
Inko just nodded as Eri took the offered treat. Izuku smiled as Eri walked over to them, the treat now in her mouth. Izuku picked her up as she hugged him closely. "Where are you selling these one's first?" Inko asked. "Well... Children's Hospitals of course." Izuku answered.
Inko joined in the hug, giving Izuku a sense of pride. A reminding that he wasn't some depraved villain, just someone who wanted to help the world.
