Chapter 9; Demon, Child, and Bullets
"Hi Izuku! How is…you ok? You kinda look like a doll…" Silver said and looked at Izuku funny. (A\N; Also I forgot! Plz vote in my first poll, check my bio. I really need your help!)
The boy snapped out of his trance, "Oh! Yeah! I'm fine! I'm really happy, I'm going to try to get a work study at Sir Nighteye's! Woah…that's a lot of papers, uh, do you have some place in mind?" Deku pointed to the papers in Silver's hands.
"Yeah! Lock Lock!" Silver said with a smile and Izuku gave a confused face, "Uh, I'll explain more later. I have to go right now so I can catch him on his break…man that's gonna be a lot of flying…GOOD LUCK!" Silver yelled and flew off quickly.
After a long three hours Silver reached his destination. He knocked carefully on the door and Lock Lock opened the door, the man from his vision. Lock Lock raised a brow and invited him in and Silver nodded thankfully.
"May I ask why you're here? Villain sighting? Autograph?" Lock Lock asked while Silver opened his bag, pulling out his form.
Silver looked at him, "First, my name is Silver, sir…and can I work here for my work study?"
"No." Lock Lock said and Silver could see that this could be hard.
The trainee took in a breath, "Pllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-" (SIX~HOURS~LATER), "-eeease?" He gave the most innocent face he could and Lock Lock sighed, uncovering his ears.
"Okay! Just don't-" Lock Lock began and Silver smiled.
"Don't be immature, and follow orders. Got it!" Silver said happily and handed over the paper which Lock Lock stamped the form with a raised brow, "I'll be here early tomorrow!" …now the long journey back. (A\N; Don't ask how Lock Lock wasn't super annoyed with Silver…he has more patience than he lets on.)
Silver panted as he entered the teachers lounge, everyone looking at him. Mr. Azaiwa raised a brow and Silver handed him the form and fell forwards. The Teacher looked shocked at the form then back at Silver.
"Next time…I'm taking the train." Silver sighed and pulled himself up.
Mr. Azaiwa hummed and nodded, "Good Job. I expect you to do your best." Silver nodded and walked out to his dorm then…passed out on his bed.
The Next Day, Silver woke up early like…four in the morning early. He quickly got ready and rushed out of his dorm seeing Izuku also running out. They surprisingly sat next to each other (with Mirio) on the train and spoke with each other.
"So how are you doing? I got my Work Study with Lock Lock! Our quirks are pretty close so I hope he can help me with my quirk." Silver hummed and looked excitedly at Izuku.
The green haired boy smiled just as excitedly, "I got my work study too! I'm kinda surprised he let you on, how did you do it?"
"One breath for six hours." Silver said simply and both Izuku and Mirio looked at him with amazement, "Honestly I'm surprised he didn't yell for me to shut up."
"Wow…Oh Midoriya, this is our stop! See ya!" Mirio said and both Izuku and Mirio got up and Silver waved them goodbye.
Silver waited another hour before hurrying off himself and headed to Lock Lock. The hero sighed and Silver smiled, "Hello Sir! Nice to see you!" He bent down in a bow then backed up looking at his mentor.
Lock Lock eyed him, "What's your hero name?" He asked and Silver smiled.
"The Future Hero; Psychic." Silver said and Lock Lock hummed. (A\N; If anyone has a better hero name for him, plz let me know in the comments! I would love more ideas!)
They went on a patrol, nothing out of the ordinary. Silver spoke with Lock Lock and got to know more about him while the pro did the same with Silver. The more they spoke with each other the more they felt comfortable. Lock Lock kinda liked having Silver as his work study kid and Silver loved Lock Lock as his mentor, and his quirk! They didn't fight anyone but it was still fun.
When Silver headed back he found Izuku looking troubled and he frowned, wanting to help but not be too pushy. Izuku began to fail and Silver knew something was wrong, but never had the time to ask. He went to Lock Lock the next day with Izuku on his mind.
"Yo Psychic, what's wrong?" Lock Lock asked and Silver glanced up.
Silver fiddled with his fingers, "My friend is acting really weird, he is a top student but…even since he started his work study he has-" Silver shut up when he saw Lock Lock pull up a 'shhh' sign.
His heart began to race, they hadn't had a fight yet so maybe-, "Psychic take the left!" Lock Lock called out and Silver ran the way Lock Lock commanded. (A\N; STILL BAD AT FIGHT SCENES!)
A small group of thugs held guns and began shooting randomly while protecting the small person stealing stuff out of people's wallets. Silver grabbed the small guy and all the bullets pointing them back at the people, replacing them causing them to go and run towards Lock Lock who froze them in place.
"FOR THE YAKUZA! IT'S FOR THEM! THE LEADERS OF THE SHADOWS! OVERHAUL! ALL YOU HEROES SHALL FALL! YOU MADE THE WRONG CHOICE KID!" One of the group members shouted loudly and was kicking and wriggling around, trying to get free, his eerie eyes looking straight at Silver.
"Hey, good job! That was pretty easy." Lock Lock said and the police took them away while Silver hummed.
"Something is off…" He muttered and he saw a quick flash of cyan and his ESP strongly took over causing him to yell, "...GET DOWN!" and Silver pushed Lock Lock out of the way and dodged the attack himself.
He kicked the guy in the face knocking him out quickly and sighed, his gut saying it was over. The crowd began to clap and Lock Lock nodded, making Silver smile.
Silver was a smile fest when he got back, that was AWESOME! He told Izuku what happened and saw the boy lacked any emotion, causing Silver to ask…or tried to…what was wrong. Izuku walked off before he could and Silver frowned, the first time in hours. Something was very…very wrong.
Silver walked out the door and found Uraraka, Tsu, Karishma and Izuku all in the front looking confused, "Good morning, you guys headed to your work study?"
"Yeah, odd…" Izuku hummed and Silver got on the train and saw Uraraka and Tsu and even Kirashama get on too, "Uh…"
They shrugged and soon when Silver and Izuku would normally part, Silver followed Izuku, "I don't know," Silver said when Izuku gave a confused look, "Lock Lock said to meet somewhere different this time."
Everyone went the same way and found the Big Three were also there. Everyone went in and Silver blinked at how many-MR. AZAIWA?! Why was HE there?! Silver walked over to Lock Lock with confusion.
"I didn't invite you, so please don't act like an amature." Lock Lock said, "You know how much I can't stand that…I don't think high schoolers should be here…" Lock Lock said with a sigh and Silver nodded, deciding to be quiet and listen.
Someone spoke up, "We're all here Nighteye."
Silver looked up to see a tall man wearing glasses, "Thanks to the info you guys gave us, our case has increased immensely. We have invited you all here for a joint conference to share the intel we have acquired. This is regarding the yakuza group Shei Hassaikai." Wait…
Silver heard Karishma ask what that meant and his mentor explained…somewhat. Soon everyone was sitting down and Silver sat between both Lock Lock and Izuku. Bubble girl began her speech saying that the group made some odd actions, including contacting people outside their organization. (That was kinda obvious…) Shortly after they began the investigation, they made contact with the League of Villains. The sidekick couldn't follow them though and they contacted the police and something with the letters H and N.
Uraraka asked what that meant and Hado spoke up, "It stands for Hero Network, it's an online site to see what all the heroes in the country are doing. Also if you need assistance from other quirks you can contact them quickly."
Lock Lock sighed, "Does anyone wanna tell me why a bunch of high school kids were invited to this conference? I don't care if they are from U.A. if we keep having to stop and explain stuff, we'll never get to the actual plan." By the tone of his voice, Lock Lock sounded tough…but Silver could tell he was just worried.
Silver felt guilt creeping up on him but then Karishma's mentor spoke up, "Don't say that! These two have valuable information! And you brought your own work study kid!" Silver's ears bent flat backwards and Lock Lock twitched…well this was gonna be odd, "Anyways, I see a lot of new faces so let me introduce myself! Nice to meet ya, I'm Fat Gum!" The friendly seeming hero smiled, "Does anyone want candy?" he threw some at the girls and Silver blinked in confusion.
They explained that what happened was Amajiki got shot with a dart, small and red, that destroys quirks. Mr. Azaiwa explains his quirk just blocks the Quirk from activating, not ever harming it. (A\N; Go to my Bio to see my explanation on how Azaiwa's quirk affects Silver's power under the section Story Explanations; it's a bit different on Silver so I recommend checking it out.) But the dart DID harm it. Silver felt his head start to spin, but he remained calm. Fat Gum also said that in the darts there were human blood and cells. Nighteye then explained that Chisaki has a daughter named Eri, her arms and legs covered in bandages. And his quirk was called Overhaul…Then it clicked…
Kirashima asked what was going on and Lock Lock sighed, "Once again, why do we have children in this meeting?"
Silver assumed that Chisaki's villain name was what his quirk was called, why else would villains from other places called him Overhaul and not Chisaki? "Overhaul is making Eri's body into bullets, and selling them on the black market." Silver whispered in horror, so that's who Overhaul was…something about this…it seemed…toofamiliar…
Lost in his own thoughts, Silver tried to remember what Overhaul reminded him of…or more like who. Something similar happened that Silver was in…it did not destroy, it…controlled. Slowly but surely, the same eyes that he saw only a few days ago peered at his soul, his voice rattled Silver's brain, the name…stopped his heart. Mephiles…more hidden pieces showed themselves, but only Silver could get this far. Mephiles, Overhaul, Eri, the darts…his vision during class. That demon was working with Overhaul, he was sure of it. Any color that he had in his face drained completely and he stared at his hands…
He needed…he needed to remember. He needed help. Helplessness seeped into Silver so strongly he barely was able to hold back tears. A cold pressure caused his breathing to become harder and he felt his powers grow slightly out of control with the strong emotion. The memory of the eyes caused his fear and sense of helplessness to grow stronger, who…who could help him? He knew this wasn't something he could just blurt out, more like something that shouldn't be told. Staring at his hands, the cyan on his hands pulsed strongly. His telekinesis wouldn't randomly grab stuff, but his telepathy and foresight he had less control over. He needed to have a sense of security, who could he trust?
Silver's mind ran through the people in the room, Lock Lock…no…not quite for this, Mr. Azaiwa…not enough, Mirio…doubt he could keep his mouth shut, Nighteye…not at all, Karishma…no, Uraraka…might faint, Izuku…yes. He is the only one here that he trusted enough to tell, but…he was already so-
'Silver?!' The psychic hero's ears perked up hearing the echo of Izuku's voice in his head, 'W-why are you using Telepathy? What do you need to tell me?'
Silver softly groaned, 'I didn't mean to, I'm sorry. I-this is a lot to take in. Strong emotions also trigger parts of my less controlled parts of my quirk…' Silver tried to look normal in the meeting and he heard Izuku glance at him, 'I…you're really the only one I trust in the room so my quirk acted on its own to help my…emotions.'
'What did you want to tell me? And why can I feel your...fear?' Izuku mentally asked and Silver froze before breathing slowly again.
Silver hummed in his mind, 'As I said, strong emotions trigger parts of my quirk. And if you haven't already connected the dots, the reason why I'm scared is because of what I have to tell you…' Silver tried hard not to think about Mephiles, but the flashback occurred anyhow.
"I will see you very soon Silver…" the darkness laughed and the cat-like eyes peered at him with a crazed look.
'...Does whatever you have to tell me tie in with those eyes and creepy voice that said your name?' Izuku asked with the echo of thought.
Silver shifted uncomfortably, 'His name is...Mephiles the Dark. I don't really remember anything else about him, but my gut is just saying...he isn't supposed to be here. It isn't right to see him. And it's serious trouble.'
'When did you see him?!' Izuku looked at Silver with worry and Silver avoided his gaze.
'Don't draw attention! Remember when I was acting strange in class? That's when he…'contacted' me. I'm not really sure what happened but that's what I saw. It scared me as you know and…' Silver had to stifle a yawn at the lack of energy, 'This is starting to take its toll...I wanna sleep now…' Silver mentally complained.
Izuku looked back at his hands, 'Im sorry...but shouldn't we tell someone-'
That was able to jerk him awake, 'NO! No, Izuku!' He mentally glared and Silver heard the boy next to him flinch, 'Sorry, but...no. We should pay, or I should at least, pay more attention.'
"I cant." Nighteye said and Silver looked at him confused.
'Dang it…can't what?' Silver thought to himself and Izuku gave him a 'really?' look.
Lock Lock sighed, "Alright, I get it."
Silver looked at Nighteye with a soft, understanding look. The pro hero had his face hidden from view, but they could all tell something hurt him in his past he didn't want to relive.
The dragon hero by Uraraka broke the ever thickening silence, "We should get started, there is a child in trouble…that's what's important here."
"We must confirm the girl's location and get her into our protection as quickly as possible." Nighteye said as he stood up, "I'm counting on your help…all over you."
A small child bumped into Izuku, landed down with a hard thump. Her long silvery hair flowed as she walked back with Overhaul, her face sad and defeated.
Guilt infiltrated Silver's mind coming from Deku, 'If only…I had saved her then…' His private thoughts echoed around in Silver's head.
Silver knew he was supposed to meet up with his other classmates that had been at the meeting…but he was too bothered. When Silver finally took the link down, he had felt Izuku's guilt heavily. Silver decided he was going to rest in his room…but half way there he passed Jiro's room and a strange urge filled him once again. Ever since he had seen her room, he wanted to ask to borrow her instruments…but he never had the time. This time though, the thought wouldn't leave him be so he finally just knocked on her door.
After a few minutes, Jiro answered with a look of surprise upon seeing Silver, "Oh…uh, hello Silver. What do you need?"
"Uh…I know this is kinda weird…" Silver glanced down feeling embarrassment seep in, "But can I borrow some of your music stuff?"
"Oh…well, uh…do you even know how to play?" Jiro asked before remembering…he didnt know, "Dumb question, uh…I guess? Just dont break any of it…m-maybe you should just play it in here. I'll make sure you don't break it, ok?" Jiro opened the door a bit more and Silver nodded.
He stepped in and smiled at her room, the musical instruments around him making his heart jump with excitement, forgetting about his earlier fear and discomfort. He looked at Jiro and she gave the go ahead, sitting down looking slightly anxious.
