Robert was board, there were no games on, his books all read, his adult children were either at work or school and his wife had gone to see a friend. He knew the friends name and with his quirk knew where they were. Robert sighed, he was bored and that meant he was going to do chores. 3 times a year for 3 years his wife nagged him about cleaning the attic and he either came up with an excuse or someone died. Though being in his 70"s meant he would go to a lot of funerals. He got and headed to the attic. Once up there he looked around.
"Now where should I start" pondered Robert.
Robert closed his eyes and focused on the idea of broken objects, and he felt a several pings. A crate next to him was one of the pings, he opened it to and saw that it contained toys. He rummaged though it until he found all the broken toys that he placed in a bag. He then took the crate to the garage and left a sticky note as a reminder to call one of his kids to see if they wanted to do something with it. He then went back to grab the rest of the broken items.
As he cleared away the broken objects, he decided to look for look for any family files though he was sure there wasn't any up here. He was confused not when something pinged but the location that pinged. It was coming from a board that he noticed had no nails which meant it was very east to pull up. Inside was a lockbox that had the key taped to the side. He opened it to revel a file and a flash drive both labeled Project Rhea. He had no clue what it was, but he no longer cared about the attic and decided he would tell his wife he cleaned some of it before he got a call.

William took a sip of his beer while looking at Robert and Otto. He was mostly staring at Otto as he had just claimed to be a villain, while the other two tried not to ask him about the weirdly placed lamp that was shining a light on the microwave.
"So a villain huh?" asked William.
"Yup, though I technically don't have a record because I was a member of the Pantheon" explained Otto.
"Never heard of it" said Robert.
"It was a unique group that had all members take the name of a mythological god, it was believed all members were dead" said William.
"I was named Adephagia, she was the goddess of gluttony, or she was someone who had a quirk that let them eat a lot" said Otto.
Both William and Robert shared a look.
"Fuck you" said Otto.
"We didn't say anything, I've known you for two years and didn't know you were a Roundabout," said Robert.
"Seriously, we have myths about gods, monsters and their fucking offspring, the witch trails, you got Christianity saying the son of their god could walk on water, turn water into wine, heal the sick, and resurrect himself, those first three sound like a moisture control quirk, but I'm the asshole for believing quirks come and go" demanded Otto.
"There's no proof" said William.
"You want proof?, where did the glowing baby come from, random spontaneous mutation or dormant genetic factor" huffed Otto.
"See this is why no one likes Roundabout theory, every time they are told there is no proof, they bring up the glowing baby" huffed Robert.
"Fuck you" said Otto.
"That's hardly appropriate" said Robert with a smirk.
"Why are you here anyway" demanded William.
"Project Rhea" said Robert.
William stared at them before summoning smoke that swirled around them.
"I have no loyalty to All for One if that's why you are here" Stated William preparing to fight.
Otto and Robert both started laughing but didn't get up. William took a heavy sip of his beer but kept the smoke in place.
"No we are not, we are here to confirm that you are technically an experiment, I'm experiment 1 and Otto is 5, we assume you are experiment 2" said Robert.
Robert then sat a briefcase on his lap and opened it, he removed some files and held them up for William to see. William was more focused on the fact he hadn't seen the briefcase until now, he also noticed the surprised look on Otto's face.
"Was that intentional or by accident," said William.
Robert looked at him confused, however seeing Otto's very confused face he put 2 and 2 together.
"Oh sorry, I didn't want anyone to see this, so I used an aspect of my quirk on it, my second-generation ancestor had a quirk that helped them track things, they found a mate with the quirk disregard, so now I can hide in plain sight without ever being noticed, however in this situation, I didn't want anyone to steal this so I instinctively did it" explained Robert.
"What's the official name of your quirk?" asked William.
"Always welcome" said Robert.
"Antibody" said Otto.
"Typokinesis. so how did you find me?" asked William.
"Once I know someone's name I can find them" said Robert.
"Neat but that doesn't answer my question" said William.
"I dated a guy a while back who was really good with computers, it was fun but I liked being outside and he feared it, he hacked the Q.B.A.D thing America has and we looked for all energy-based quirks and noticed your family line had minor but always present energy absorption ability so we popped in to say hello" said Otto.
Robert rolled his eyes.
"Yes it was a random guess, much like Otto was, the Q.B.A.D was very detailed if inaccurate" said Robert.
"I have no idea how many laws you broke hacking into the Quirk Breeding Assignment Database, and how is it inaccurate?" asked William.
"Well for one it states that healing is a very common quirk and all those Quirkless people" said Robert.
William heard the disgust in Roberts voice and saw Otto shaking his head at William. It was clear that they had this conversation before.
"Quirkless people make up 20% of the worlds population, that is 4 times the population of America, running the numbers yes it does appear that the number is going down but given how some Countries don't report them at all it would be highly inaccurate, we do have a lot of healers due to Q.B.A.D, having a quirkless parent really helps when controlling the so called unpredictable nature of quirks, besides the three of us are clear examples of genetic engineering similar to the Q.B.A.D" explained William.
Robert was clearly annoyed and attempted to change the subject.
"Where do you keep your file?" asked Robert,
William smiled then got up from his seat. He headed to the counter and turned off the oddly placed lamp. With no light shining on the microwave, the shadow was gone and replaced with a file and flash drive. Otto was very confused and Robert clapped.
