"Question why is he here?" Sayako scowls pointing poking at Monoma while the two sit at the airport eyeing Bombarda sat down reading a book before the bickering pair.
"I could say the same." Monoma sneers scowling at Sayako.
"Because I said so." Sternly, she cuts the pair off.
"But that's not…!" Sayako begins but…
"If you don't want to come then don't." Dubiously, Monoma smirks smugly at the glaring glowering blonde.
"You…" Sayako seethes shakes scowls.
"Enough both of you. Momona go get us a drink or something." Bombarda dismisses the blonde not needing the headache.
"Okay is there anything you'd like Bombarda?" Monoma smiles.
"Uuh a coke I guess?" Unsure, Bombarda shrugs.
"Of course!" Cheerily, Monoma smiles going off to get that.
"I can't believe you invited him." Huffing, Sayako grumbles.
"I can' believe you can't bite your lip." Bluntly, Bombarda deadpans.
"…We're going to another country I'm so nervous!" Midoriya mutters to himself, tapping away at his fingertips, sprouting something under his breath repeatedly time and time again.
"Midoriya you're going to be fine." Firmly, Bombarda assures the anxious wreck of a boy before him as they stand around the airport numerus people going about their day as they wait for their flight watching the boy supposedly swallow his fear or something of the sort.
"Yeah Europe's amazing Midoriya you'll love it." Sayako smiles at the wreck.
"You've been Sayako?" Midoriya perks up at the news.
"Yeah a bit but not as much as America it's a lovely place to settle down in though a remote sort of place, people leave you alone if I remember right…" Shyly, Sayako admits.
"Sayako's right if you can speak English you'll be fine also writing person in kanji on your palm can calm you down but it won't work if you don't swallow it." Todoroki tells him.
"Thank you Todoroki." Midoriya smiles after swallowing said fear.
"…I never got how that helped." Honestly, Sayako admits.
"What would you do if you got nervous?" Todoroki turns to her.
"Well I tried to imagine people getting naked but it was weird…normally I'd go into a spiral before now I just do deep breathes and look at husky videos to calm me." Sayako confesses.
"Why huskies specifically?" Todoroki couldn't help but wonder.
"Cause they are adorable! Cats too though…" Sayako admits.
"Uh Katsuki…I don't suggest-" Katsumi begins but the bright blast of smoke swiftly cuts her off.
"Hahahaha what was that!?" Sayako bursts out laughing at Katsuki.
"DIE!" Katsuki yells.
"Huh!? Kaachan you get nervous too!?" Midoriya says surprised.
"If you can speak English you'll be fine." Todoroki repeats.
"SHUT UP IDIOTS!" Incensed, Katsuki roars.
"Come on it's easy when you know English." Sayako confirms.
"Says the girl who knows English." Katsuki sneers scowling.
"Not my fault you suck at it." Sayako smirks smugly.
"What was that?!" Katsuki barks back at Sayako.
"KATSUKI STOP YELLING WE'RE AT A AIRPORT!" Katsumi holding her tense tired temple glares at her younger brother wearing a ruby red and black flannel shirt open showing a snow white distressed tank top with a necklace of a ruby red feather dangling down. She wears a distressed pair of grey jeans with black boots, combat boots.
"And we're going on a international mission! It's a completely different place than Japan!" Katsuki continuously taps his fingers as Midoriya did but sparks spew out from the movements.
"You're overthinking things now stop that!" Tense, Katsumi worries.
"NO! I want to be in my best performance that's why I'm concentrating." Katsuki yells.
"And that's why you're going to get yourself arrested quit it already!" Katsumi scowls at her brother.
"No!" Katsuki refuses as she grabs his hands stopping him.
"Well looks like everyone has their own way of dealing with pressure some get nervous some get excited and it seems like Bakugou's the latter." Hawks smirks slightly sauntering over to the bickering brother and sister however his attempt at grabbing her attention doesn't work.
"Just quit it already!" Engrossed in her argument, Katsumi yells at her brother.
"Never!" Her brother barks back.
"Stop being such a little shithead!" Katsumi snaps scowling trying to stop her brother.
"How about you stop being such a shithead!" Katsuki roars back.
"The fuck you say?!" Snarling, she grabs her brother's cheeks.
"You heard me!" He glares up at her.
"Should we…stop them?" Sayako couldn't help but ask from afar as she eyes Katsumi and Katsumi beginning to hit each other, her pinching his cheeks stretching his furious face as he himself helplessly tries to fight back.
"They'll tire themselves out eventually." Hawks smiles shades on his head.
"Hawks and Tokoyami!" Midoriya turns to the pair.
"Where are you heading Tokoyami?" Todoroki queries.
"America that place is wide so Hawks speed can be useful." Midoriya considers.
"Aw you guys got America…no fair it's awesome there." Sayako sighs.
"Oh? Got any places you'd recommend?" Hawks turns to her.
"Hmm…if you're asking for fast food stuff afraid I can't say whenever pops would bring me alone he'd insist we eat healthy food going on and on about crap I knew nothing about." Sayako scratches the back of her neck.
"You're non-stop Hawks!" Midoriya beams brightly at the blonde but…
"Huh? Hawks?!" All eyes fall onto Hawks.
"…Oh no…" Katsumi pulls Midoriya back worriedly.
"Hawks!?" A while crowd rush over to Hawks side surrounding him.
"Hey, hey stop my little chicks we're at an airport." Hawks winks at them.
"…you're little chicks?" Katsumi arches a bored brow, side eyeing Hawks.
"You'll always be my dove, love." Cheekily, Hawks steps forward, gently taking a familiar feather necklace, reaching out for it, gently pecking it, winking up at her.
"DIE!" She snarls brightly blushing at the haughty Hawks.
"We shouldn't make a commotion here!" Hawks turns back to his fans before being carried away.
"They won't stop why am I involved?" Tokoyami cries out as he too is taken away.
"…And we never saw them again. I'd say they be missed but…" Sayako shakes her head jokingly.
"That's debatable." Katsumi smirks slightly.
"This is my fault! I'm so sorry!" Midoriya cries.
"Don't be Midoriya! You did us a favour!" Katsumi places her hands on his shoulder smiling.
"…Eh?" Midoriya looks up lost when…
"He's weak." Endeavour states scowling arms crossed over his chest.
"…I was going to say annoying but that works too." Katsumi throws in.
"Endeavour! Vor…vor…" Deku calls out his voice echoing throughout the airport.
"D-Don't force it Deku…" Midoriya smiles softy at him.
"Nobody approached him…" Deku couldn't help but take note of.
"The perks of not being a doormat to your fanbase you should take notes Midoriya." Sternly, Katsumi advises him.
"Huh?" Midoriya blurts out.
"Katsuki's personality will definitely grate him against his fanbase but you…you're too sweet to say no to people so take notes or else you'll end up like that chicken." Calmly, Katsumi explains to Midoriya.
"Uh….okay?" Midoriya responds not quite sure what to say.
"It's almost time to board let's go." Endeavour calls out.
"Yes sir!" The trio chorus turning to head on the airplane when…
"Father." Shoto stops his father.
"What is it Shoto?" Endeavour turns to him.
"Why do I have to sit next to you?" Shoto scowls up at his father.
"Oh no…" Sayako furrows her brow.
"Is this some kind of joke? I want to sit next to Midoriya, Bakugou and Sayako!" Shoto sternly says to him.
"T-Todoroki!" Midoriya frets.
"You still think we're friends?" Katsuki growls.
"Dude you're still in denial about that?" Tiredly, Sayako side eyed Bakugo.
"HEY!" Katsuki barks but…
"Change my seat." Shoto orders Endeavour.
"C-Come on it's not gonna kill you." Endeavour argues as he looks away.
"He's saying something cute with a scary face! Midoriya gasps.
"I said I want to sit next to my friends." Firmly, Todoroki tells his father.
"You can obviously tell he's the youngest sibling…" Sayako sweat drops seeing Hikaru briefly before her, bringing a panged pain to her chest. Shyly, she takes out her phone, brow furrowed at the photo of the happy Hikaru and her before it all anguished at the thought of him….of them.
"I told you we're not friends. Do you want to be strapped on the tailplane!?" Katsuki threatens.
"Kaachan!" Midoriya frets.
"Oi Katsuki stop it you're giving Midoriya a panic attack!" Annoyed, Katsumi orders her brother but…
"Katsumi." Midoriya whimpers weakly.
"Midoriya it's okay just breath it's fine!" Firmly, she tries to calm Midoriya down.
"Oi Todo drop it come on you're scaring Midoriya and I think Bakugo's going to get arrested!" Sayako calls out from her phone glued to it.
"Give me the ticket!" Shoto orders.
"No stop!" Endeavour turns away as he gets on his tippy toes to reach for it.
"Hey don't ignore me!" Mad, Bakugo goes over.
"Bakugou switch places with me!" Todoroki orders him.
"Stop acting nice!" Katsuki grabs him by his tie.
"What are you doing to Shoto!?" Sternly, Endeavour demands from the boy hassling his son.
"This is supposed to be the number one hero agency in Japan?" Midoriya shakes quivers quakes trying to do the hand swallowing his fear fretfully.
"Uh…Bombarda?" Sayako takes note of the shaking shoulder of Katsumi, noting the shy sparks spewing out of her clenched furious fists, her hues of ruby red fiercely flaring up.
"THE HELL ARE YOU THREE DOING!?" Katsumi yells at the trio of boys before her, blasting them with a bright blast of smoke.
"ARGH!" The mushroom cloud of an explosion occurs within the airport astonishing everyone within.
"What was that?"
"Was that an explosion?"
"Ah…Bombi's lid finally came off…" Hawk slides his shades upwards amused almust.
"…Should we go check…?" Tokoyami furrows his brow.
"Yeah got to make sure they're not dead after all." Hawks smiles going over only then to be greeted by the sight of the smirking bemused blonde by Bombarda's side, coke in her hand ranting yelling at the group bowed down before her.
"THE HELL IS WITH YOU!? ENDEAVOUR YOU'RE A GROWN ASS MAN FOR CHRIST SAKE AND AS FOR YOU TWO SHITS! TAKE THESE TICKETS AND SHUT UP…IF YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT JUST SUCK IT UP!" Katsumi yells berates the bowing boys before her, head down before the woman towering over the trio, ranting raving at them after handing them back their tickets.
"...Yes mam." Meekly, the boys comply.
"…Good. You okay Midoriya?" The murderous energy soon shifting to motherly smiling softly at the young boy.
"How did she change her mood so easily like that!? Terrified, the two Todoroki men couldn't help but gawk at the shift change.
"Y-Yeah." Meekly, Midoriya smiles shyly, Sayako still on her phone.
"Come on why don't I treat you to a snack for your nerves?" Smiling sweetly, she offers Midoriya.
"…Okay." Meekly, Midoriya nods.
"Oi what about us!?" Katsuki roars glaring glowering up at Katsumi smiling sickly sweetly.
"What about you?" Icily, Katsumi turns to her body squirming slightly from the ice cold glare she gives the three bows bowing before her.
"She's scolding them…she's like a mother scolding her kids…" Tokoyami couldn't help but compare noting the terrified grown ass men.
"Yeah heh that's Bombi for ya." Hawks smiles softly endearingly at the sight.
"Bombarda's terrifying…" The crowd around Hawks murmur fearful.
"Isn't that the number one hero she's lecturing?" Anxiously, another anxious voice throws in.
"To have that kind of courage to lecture someone as scary as Endeavour…does she have a death wish!?" Another fretful face frets.
"Monoma, Midoriya Sayako let's go get a snack I think we deserve one and it's coming out of the Endeavour funds." Katsumi continues on regardless as with the implied order, Sayako flicks her wrist swiftly stealing Endeavour 's wallet which Bombarda happily takes.
"Hold on oi Bombarda!" Endeavour calls out.
"Come on you three! We deserve to treat ourselves once in a while!" Katsumi smiles sickly sweetly before the two head off to treat themselves before taking off.
"I wonder what we'll see in this new foreign land…" Silently, Sayako couldn't help but wonder when she takes her seat silently staring out at the window, Bombarda by her side silently sleeping unaware of a spikey haired boy wandering through an alleyway, a perky pink bird flying above.
"It's so loud it's unbearable…" The spikey haired boy grumbles glaring up at the airplane descending down.
"Why were superhuman powers, the meta abilities known so casually as Quirks, forced upon our kind? Why was the first metahuman- the Shining Baby-born unto us? These Quirks bring about nothing but tragedy. They are not a blessing on our world but the beginning of its end. It is foretold in the Quirk Doomsday Theory. As generations pass, powers mix and evolve. Eventually, none will be able to control their abilities. In this hour of need, percent of humanity is sick with Quirks. How many of the remaining pure humans will have relations with Quirk holders? Spawning even more who are cursed with this blight. Our extinction is nigh at hand. We, Humarise, must take action. Even if it means dying the earth red with blood, that will simply be our righteous burden to bear. For humanity's salvation." The man in white raises a book labelled doomsday theory to the crowd of people in white robes with the symbol of Humarise behind their leader pointing their sharp silver spears towards the golden baby statue.
"For humanity's salvation." The crowd chorus below the man in robed white with blue skin unaware of one sneaking off ripping his holy knight mask off and taking off.
"Now then. Let us begin." He raises his dagger to the high heavens as elsewhere smoke spews out into a random city, people scream when consumed by the green smog as a man turns into a turtle screaming as another soon screams wings bursting out of him with a woman's hair flowing, one combusts into flames as a pro cries lasers forcibly shooting out of his eyes, cutting slicing buildings falling onto cars and people nearby until they all revert to dust…
"Ah, hello there. It seems you don't have a Quirk. Congratulations. You are one of the chosen who's been saved." A woman in similar holy robes approached the traumatised man smiling warmly at him despite the fierce flames surrounding them alongside the numerous bodies before them.
"The group claiming responsibility for the recent attack is known as Humarise. This radical sect was founded by Flect Turn and seeks to save humanity from the so-called Quirk Doomsday Theory. The attack used a Quirk-activating substance known as Ideotrigger that was spread through the streets via devices we're dubbing Trigger bomb." Quietly, the heroes listen in watching the TV screen from the back of a heavy steel van, the fierce flames of Endeavour being the only source of light if not for the TV.
"The mission of the Hero team we've gathered is to search the known Humarise complexes so that these bomb can be destroyed." The voice continues on as a certain blonde has her leg move up and down, fidgeting in place, none of the heroes bat an eye to it.
"Intelligence suggests there's one device at each location. Arrest any Humarise members present and neutralize the payload. Be advised you should expect heavy resistance. They may detonate the bomb once they realize we're moving. As such, we're not asking local law enforcement to assist. This is the most urgent mission many of you have ever faced. All Might…" The speaker turns to the man by his side unaware of a pair of ruby reds watching on by the blonde's side, the woman standing tall compared to the slouched impatient mess of a blonde by her side sits Todoroki, Bakugou and Midoriya. Outside, Tokoyami and Hawks fly side by side with the jets, searching scanning for the bombs.
"Heroes, the success or failure of this task rests on your shoulders. Let's give smiles back to citizens who're frightened by terrorism!" All Might calls out as Todoroki, Bakugou, Midoriya and Sayako put on their black suits, Midoriya with a green and black accented suit, Bakugo with a red and black accented suit, Todoroki with a white and black accented suit and Sayako with a yellow and black accented suit, standing ready to drop down in the night sky, putting on their hoods.
"This is it, heroes. Start your missions!" The man calls out as they all dive down.
"Team A. No matter what happens, collect the Trigger bomb before it can be set off!" Endeavour calls out as they fly down. Burnin' by Endeavour's side alongside Bombarda.
"Roger that!" The heroes respond.
"There. Humarise's Otheon headquarters." Izuku recognises the building they are about to drop down on.
"While they handle the weapon, we're to take the facility and capture their leader, Flect." Todoroki reminds them through the radio.
"Either way we can't afford to let our guards down, even though most of them may probably be quirkless." Sayako says through the intercom.
"What, you think we'd forget all that?" Katsuki barks back through the radio.
"Yes! You would!" Sayako scowls.
"Shut up!" Bakugo barks back before blasting his way downwards towards the building below. Bakugo blasts his way down, Todoroki uses his ice to slide down, Midoriya uses his wind to soften the blow while Sayako swings her way down, swinging forward towards the building entrance.
"Stay back! We won't let you past us!" The teens are greeted by spear wielders of robed figures.
"This is what resistance gets you." Endeavour roars blasting open the door.
"Clair. Track down the device." Bombarda calls out.
"I'm on it. Voyance!" The woman on the flying squirrel quirk user's eyes light up scanning said facility.
"They're violating our sanctuary!" Robed figures rush towards the trio of teens but gasp when their robes are suddenly pinned to the ground, trapping them to the ground.
"Bakugo, most of their members are Quirkless! Don't be too rough." Sayako calls out as Todoroki freezes other members with ice as he flies through alongside Bakugo.
"Yeah. I know. Stun Grenade!" Katsuki sues his blasts to stun said group awaiting them.
"Endeavor, Bombarda there's something wrong. I can't find the bomb anywhere!" Clair calls out.
"What's that? Where's Flect?" Endeavour scowls.
"We're about to close in on him." Bombarda admits as she leads the group, Midoriya behind her with a fair few other heroes she leads.
"Once he's captured, make him tell you where the bomb is!" Endeavour calls out through the radio.
"Oh don't worry you can count on me making that guy squeal!" Bombarda promises making Midoriya sweat drops at her response as they all rush in towards the door.
"Flect Turn is in that room." Izuku couldn't help but take note of however when Bombarda blasts opens the door.
"Damn it! Their leader's gone! Search the premises!" Bombarda orders when greeted by a room of pitch black as they spread out searching for their leader.
"In the end, even though we raided the Humarise buildings around the world, we couldn't find a single Trigger bomb.
"Yeah. We interrogated the members we rounded up. But it's no use. They've got no clue where the devices are being kept. Doesn't seem like they even knew the things existed. It's the same for members from the other branches, too. My guess? It's likely that the recent attack was carried out by a smaller internal group directly under the control of Flect Turn." Hawks admits through the intercom with Tokoyami having wrapped up the Humarise members with dark shadow.
"Director, there might be another facility that we don't know about." All Might proposes.
"They must have guessed that we were coming and moved the bomb in anticipation. All teams stand by in your respective locations. We're going to send in more heroes to find Humarise's secret base!" The director dictates.
"I have to deliver this. If I don't, the world will be destroyed!" The man with the eyepatch flees fearfully briefcase in hand.
"Idiots! We're right in the middle of an important mission. You should leave the petty criminals for the local authorities to take care of!" Endeavour scowls glaring glowering at the boys before him.
"W-We're sorry!" Midoriya bows his head.
"I thought heroes were supposed to assist those in trouble." Todoroki disputes.
"You're the one who's supposed to be teaching us. Maybe you shoulda explained how to ignore crimes." Bakugo adds.
"That's not what I said!" Endeavour seethes.
"Endeavour calm down hey any of you boys seen Sayako?" Bombarda makes her way over brow furrowed.
"Sayako?" Midoriya perks up at the name.
"I've tried contacting her but got nothing she was with you wasn't she?" Katsumi assumes.
"Urgh don't tell me she wandered dammit it half and half you were meant to watch her!" Bakugo blames.
"I was. She's following someone who was working with the jewel thieves. But she's not picking up her phone right now." Todoroki fills them in.
"You slackers! I shouldn't have brought you with me even if you are doing your work studies!" Seething, Endeavour's fierce flames flare up.
"Endeavour enough. Sayako is my concern not yours." Bluntly, Bombarda intercepts.
"…I hope she's okay…" Midoriya couldn't help but worry.
"Please knowing that dumbass she's probably beating up some petty criminal…" Bakugo dismisses just as Todoroki's phone goes off.
"It's her." Todoroki tells the group all eyes on him.
"Sayako, hey. Do you have the suspect?" Todoroki answers the call.
"Police just attacked us out of nowhere!" Sayako cuts him off.
"What?" Todoroki gasps.
"The police attacked us Todo!" Sayako scowls.
"Why, what did you do to them?" Todoroki demands.
"Why are you blaming me?" Sayako scowls at him.
"Sayako do I need to bring up the time you flipped off an officer?" Shoto sighs.
"Hey he was staring at my arm it was weird." Fairly, Sayako argues.
"Sayako, now is not the time to bring up just tell me what you did." Sternly, Shoto requests from her.
"I don't know! Genuinely they barely said anything at all before they started firing at us!" Sayako explains.
"But did you say something?" Sternly, Shoto demands from her.
"NO! And when we tried to run away, we were attacked again by someone who looked like a villain!" Sayako combs her fingertips through her hair.
"Calm down! Tell me everything that happened. Start from the beginning." Todoroki tells her.
"Okay, so, I chased the guy who ran away with the case and eventually caught him. But there wasn't any jewellery inside when I opened it up." Sayako summarises just as the door opens to Clair.
"Bombarda. Endeavor. Emergency. It's about Weaver." Clair reports making Bombarda's eyes dilate dread hitting her hard, her and Endeavour sharing a look as Midoriya, Todoroki and Katsuki do the same, following Claire into the room where they are greeted by the screen showing a picture of Sayako…of her standing before the armed police.
"Once again, according to recent police reports, the suspect, who is thought to have killed twelve people, is at large and considered by authorities to be highly dangerous. She's a Japanese hero. Uh, called Weaver. Real name, Sayako Hakamada. The entire nation is on the lookout. There are also reports that she has an accomplice..." The reporter shows said photo of her before the armed men.
"Hello? Hello? Todoroki?" Sayako calls out oblivious to the wide eyed stunned stares of the group. Bombarda grabs the phone from Todoroki.
"Sayako. What did you really do out there?" Sternly, she demands from Sayako.
"What do you mean? Nothing!" Sayako frowns.
"Sayako the news is saying you're wanted as a suspect for mass murder." Bluntly, Bombarda tells her glaring at the screen feeling a fair few eyes on her.
"No. That makes no sense. What's going on?" Shakily, Sayako whispers weakly.
"We'll look into it on our end. You stay off the grid for now. They'll track you with GPS. Once you turn off your phone, don't forget to take out the battery." Sternly, Bombarda orders as Sayako nods, her eyes shaking quivering quaking.
"…Right…heh dad's going to kill me…" Meekly, Sayako sighs sadly just as she hangs up, staring sadly down at her phone at the background of her baby brother, her fathers…and her, her heart aching at the thought of them, did they know? Did they see? Was this another attempt at trying to control her? Was this another ploy of the hero commission, it would be quite the sneak attack attempting to control her just like back then…but was their reach really this far out…Sayako couldn't help but grimace pained at the thought, the sharp sting of disappointment hitting her hard, she had thought…maybe she could be free…even for a little bit…but…
Sayako soon yelps by the gloved hand on her shoulder.
"Ugh, don't do that!" Rody takes a step back, sweat sliding down his tense temple taking note of the troubled teen.
Sayako sighs, she knew what she had to do even if it hurt…
"We're not getting anywhere with Humarise! The best thing we can do is go after Weaver!" One of the heroes snap scowling slamming their hand down upon the desk table below baffling both Bombarda and Endeavor.
"Weaver? What would she have to do with Humarise!?" Phantom Thief speaks up scowling.
"Maybe she's one of them." One of the heroes speak up.
"Do you hear yourself?" Bombarda raises a bored brow.
"I'm just saying its strange how Humarise left when we arrived." A hero argues.
"You saying we have a spy?" Another of the heroes worries.
"It's possible it would explain how Flect escaped." Another soon adds.
"Bombarda…Endeavor looks down towards the woman leaning back in her seat, Monoma by her side worriedly leaning over anxiously eyeing the glares sent their way while Bombarda looks unfazed by it all until…
"Weaver has nothing to do with Humarise." Bombarda finally speaks up once all eyes on her.
"Funny how this is coming from her mentor." A hero sneers scowling at Bombarda.
"I agree with Bombarda, Weaver isn't the sort to believe in such lunacy." Endeavor agrees.
"How would she even get in contact with them?" Monoma argues annoyed.
"Weaver has a history travelling she could have…" A hero bring up as Bombarda's brow furrows.
"…How do you know that?" Bombarda asks as the hero flinches both Monoma and Endeavor's eyes expanding when a still silence fills the air of unease…
"…I don't know how you came by this information nor do I know the motive behind this accusation however I have one question to ask." Aloofly, Bombarda arises from her seat sternly scowling at all eyes on her.
"What's that?" The hero who looks like Apollo asks.
"Do you honestly believe accusing one another and turning on ourselves is a wise move?" Bombarda questions, another wave of still silence hitting the heroes all of them sharing looks.
"That…" The apollo looking hero begins but…
"Like I said I do not know where you got this information about Weaver from but since you know that much I must ask. Where is your evidence? And I mean proper evidence not some leaps of logic?" Bombarda coldly demands, a fair few gulping anxiously as internally Momona couldn't help but be in awe of the woman above as she glares glowers at the group of heroes she challenges.
"The news report…!" The anxiously apollo looking hero smiles shakily sweat sliding down his tense temple towards the bored Bombarda.
"News reports can be heavily edited did you see Sayako murder anyone on the screen the news showed? Any witness coming forward?" Formally, Bombarda pries.
"N-No but she kidnapped someone…!" Scared, another of the heroes form abroad add as the apollo looking hero nods.
"Yes that someone could be the person she believed to be from Humarise who she tried to apprehend." Bombarda considers.
"Or she could be working with!" The apollo looking hero argues.
"That's…!" Monoma stands scowling however his eyes expand to see his mentor turning towards the door.
"Bombarda where are you going?" An Otheon officer demands from her.
"If we're just going to spend this entire meeting talking about what ifs without even a semblance of evidence then I'm out. I'm not wasting my time on such pointless things." Tiredly, Bombarda exits out of the room.
"You…! Get back here!" The Otheon officer orders as Monoma meekly follows from behind.
"Agreed." Endeavour too stands.
"E-Endeavour?" The heroes turn to him surprised.
"Excuse us." Endeavor too excuses himself, a stunned still silence filling the air of the meeting as soon enough one after another hero soon leaves, leaving the Otheon officials and heroes to it.
Bombarda exits out of the meeting room releases a small simple sigh, exhausted etched into said single sigh taking a seat on the couch. Her head aching from it all as she rubs her fingertips through her hair.
"Miss Bombarda…" Monoma comes out of the room with her.
"Hm?" Bombarda rubs her tense temple tiredly.
"Are we really not going to go help Weaver?" Monoma couldn't help but ask astonishing Bombarda.
"We're doing what we can Monoma." Bombarda grumbles rubbing her head hurting.
"Mmm…" Monoma hums worriedly.
"You sound almost concerned." Cheekily, Bombarda points out noting the furrowed frown of Monoma.
"Urgh she may be from class A but she's disappointing U.A as a whole meaning she'd putting class B to shame!" Monoma huffs.
"Right. Just focus on keeping your head down for now, the police are on us now, if you hear anything tell me directly." Bombarda orders.
"…Right." Monoma nods just as Bombarda's phone rings, Monoma nodding at the silent request, heading off leaving to collect some information.
"Hey…" Bombarda answers the face time request of the just done drained Aizawa.
"Hey…" Aizawa groggily groans rubbing at his eyes unaware of Bombarda's eyes expanding at the ponytailed man, internally impressed at how well he pulls off the ponytail with the stubble at that. Wait when was Bombarda a stubble sort of person? Bombarda's brow furrows from the thought before shaking her head going back to focus on the conversation at hand.
"…didn't call at a bad time right?" Bombarda eyes the mess of a hobo caterpillar man.
"Nah the timetable worked out fine." Aizawa rubs the back of his neck.
"Good how are things back there?" Bombarda couldn't help but ask amused at the apple clip holding his ponytail together.
"Fine you…" Aizawa wonders.
"Not so good." Bombarda grimaces glancing to the side sheepishly.
"What do you mean?" Mystifed, Aizawa's brow furrows.
"What do you think I mean?" Bombarda retorts.
"…What did she do?" Aizawa exhales exhausted slamming his hand over his fatigued face.
"…How did you…?" Bombarda begins baffled but…
"She's my student so what did she do this time?" Aizawa gets straight to the point, too tired to even think about the list of things she probably had done.
"Became a wanted criminal?" Bombarda squeaks scared smiling strained.
Aizawa stares.
Bombarda stares surprised to see Aizawa so wide eyed.
"…I knew this day would come." Aizawa gruffly places his head in his hands.
"What do you mean you knew?!" Baffled, Bombarda demands taken aback astonished at his reaction.
"She's my student what do you think I mean…how bad is it?" Aizawa exhales exhausted brow furrowed fatigued.
"All of Otheon are looking for her." Bombarda sighs.
"For what?" Aizawa scowls.
"…They think she killed some of the police force." Bombarda reveals.
"They think?" Aizawa's brow furrows.
"…Apparently there's footage." Bombarda exhales exasperated.
"…Right and it's not doctored…?" Aizawa assumes.
"Personally something is up with it but the police are insisting on it…" Bombarda sighs.
"…Sayako wouldn't kill…not unless it was the last resort." Aizawa firmly frowns.
"I'm trying to do what I can but for right now…she's on her own." Bombarda admits.
"What do you mean?" Mystifed, Aizawa ponders perplexed puzzled.
"She fled with this guy. A civilian from the looks of it." Bombarda's brow furrows.
"Civilian…huh still smart move can't except any police protection if you apparently kill one of your own." Aizawa points out brow furrowed concern clear in his gruff tired tone.
"Yeah keep this on the down low though would you?" Bombarda requests noting the shy sparkle of glitter smeared upon his cheek with some apple sticks, swiftly deciding not to press about it.
"You sure you're not being monitored as we speak?" Sternly, Aizawa asks alert.
"This is a burner so…I doubt it." Bombarda mutters looking around, she had checked the room after, it seemed clear course she had Monoma use the search quirk from that woman he had traced prior and saw some speakers, which Bombarda quickly took care of, setting them aside for evidence later…
"You have a burner?" Astonished, Aizawa arches a brow by her words.
"When you become one of the top ten you tend to have eyes on you." Bombarda exhales exhausted, she had always been a private person prior with her podcast but even then when she became one of the top, she had seen how ravenous the fans could be from Hawk's fanbase and decided to make a few precautions, now it was just second nature to her especially with the weird feeling she had with the Otheon police force, especially when it came to Weaver being framed.
"Hm…just be careful alright and look out for Sayako." Sternly, Aizawa asserts to Bombarda.
"She can take care of herself you know?" Bombarda sighs
"I know she can but that doesn't mean she should." Aizawa points out.
"I'm doing the best I can." Bombarda argues.
"I know you are. Have you contacted Kazz?" Aizawa asks as Bombarda fearfully flinches from the idea.
"…Eh?" Bombarda blurts out alarmed.
"Her father. Have you contacted him? You know the other can't be reached right now so…" Aizawa begins but…
"Yeeeah…about that." Tense, Bombarda glances to the side sheepishly scared almost astonishing Aizawa.
"About what?" Aizawa's brow furrows from Bombarda's nervousness taking himself aback at the surprising sight.
"Not really thinking I mean this is going to be solved quick right so why phone…." Bombarda dismisses, sweat sliding down her tense trembling temple when…
"The father of the child that is being chased all around Otheon?" Aloofly, Aizawa curtly cuts Bombarda off, an arrow inviable to the naked eye impaling Bombarda almost as she spews scarlet similar to All Might even from Aizawa's savagery.
"Y-Yeah I mean it'd only worry him." Bombarda brushes the imaginary scarlet smearing it to the side sheepishly smiling shyly glancing to the side.
"By worry you mean he'd most likely take a random jet hostage to get to Otheon and destroy Otheon in whole until he found his little girl." Bluntly, Aizawa deadpans.
"…Glad we're on the same page." Pained, Bombarda bows her head.
"Talk to him." Aizawa asserts.
"But…" Bombarda begins but…
"Bombi!" A familiar face of long white hair and ruby red eyes pops on screen startling Bombarda.
"Eri hey…!" Bombarda smiles strained at the sight of the giddy girl, eager to ask about Otheon…
"So how have you been Eri?" Bemused, Bombarda eyes the eagerly excited Eri making Katsumi smile softly at the sight pleased to see the girl at ease, so calm, so causal, so peaceful from the wreck of a child that she once was bundled in a raw red cape to bandages coiled around her pale shaking quivering quaking form, draped in a patient garment looking so sad, so pained, so scared of the world now look so happy, so jovial, so confident, in her own little way.
"Good. Look at this, his name is Peaches he's my pet!" Eri eagerly shows said boxed lizard to the baffled Bombarda.
"….That right…? Isn't he cute…?" Bombarda smiles strained, having no clue what to make of the little guy, she knew some people were raised with odd pets, she remembered Hanuel having a lizard when she was younger often coming in with a lizard perched upon her shoulder, sipping some soda or smoothie while Kane and Kat simply stared at the strange creature on her shoulder. Recalling Hanuel often going into tangents about lizards and frogs flabbergasting the two into learning she had a frog as a pet as well stunning them both that frogs and lizards could even be pets.
"Sure as a kid, Kane had mentioned wanting a snake but Kat knew her friend couldn't handle such a pet, he'd squirm away from the snake's shedding to being uncomfortable to feed it, he was already strange when it came to pampering his little chihuahua from dying its tail to doing its nails, often matching with Kane but this was…something else.
"Yeah and he's great to practice with." Eri's voice cuts Bombarda out of her thoughts
"…Eh?" Bombarda snaps out of her thoughts, perking up at her wording, practice…? Perplexed, she couldn't help but eye Aizawa in the back, looking unfazed, almost ready to nod off.
When Peaches get scared his tail pops off so I try to use rewind to fix it." Eri explains pointing to the lizard scuttling about below after taking the phone from Aizawa now bowing his head, hearing his soft snores in the back slumped over the sofa.
"So that's how you've been training." Bombarda hums, she wished she could have been there more for Eri but with everything going on. Bombarda's brow furrow fatigued from the thought of the war, she had popped in now and again but with everything going on…Bombarda's brow furrowed fatigued from the thought of a certain golden eyes man handing her a familiar ruby red book…
"Really? Hm. I see you haven't changed." Coyly, Hawks smirks smugly at the glaring Bombarda.
"Well? What is it you want, Hawks?" Katsumi demands from Hawks, her eyes narrowing at the blonde.
"Oh. Nothing much. Actually, I do have a question. You two happen to have read this book?" Hawks asks as he takes out a ruby red book.
"Meta Liberation war?" Izuku furrows his brow.
"What is this about?" Endeavor scowls sharing a look with Bombarda.
"Eh, it's gotten really popular recently. It was written a while back, but it has predictions about the future that seem pretty relevant today. Like this passage. "If you grant freedom to a limited number of people, then the burdens of the world will go to the others." I highlighted some parts if you don't have time to plow through the whole thing. I suggest you read those. The leader of the Meta Liberation Army was named Destro. What he wanted was a society upheld by personal responsibility! Trendy idea lately." Smiling, Hawks hands Bombarda the book, her ruby red staring straight into his gold.
"We're not interested in meagre politics." Endeavor turns his back to Hawks however…
"And your point is?" Bluntly, Bombarda steps up.
"Bombarda?" Endeavor's eyes expand taken aback at her response but she doesn't answer, simply silently stoically staring into his eyes of gold.
"If that comes to fruition, we'll have too much time on our hands. Make sure you read through it, okay?"" He smiles stunning Katsumi when hearing his words, her stunned scarlet staring into his stern stoic gold…
Katsumi present day brow furrows from the wave of emotions hitting her as Eri continues charring away, Bombarda simply smiling nodding as she thinks back to it all, to his eyes back then glaring directly into her raw reds.
"I just wanna take it easy and have some fun. My goal is to make this a world where heroes have too much time on their hands." Hawks words ring throughout Katsumi's head as she stares at the stranger before her. Frowning from the feeling of unease from these words alone…
"Hawks…what are you thinking…? Katsumi's brow furrows fatigued from it all as just then…
"Yeah! I'm doing well according to Mr Aizawa and miss Midnight!" Merrily, Eri's words cut through Katsumi's train of thought unaware of Aizawa now awake eyeing Bombarda's brow frowning fatigued.
"That's amazing Eri." Katsumi leaps back into the conversation smiling strained.
"Yeah I want to show you sometime." Eri admits.
"When I get back I'd be happy to." Bombarda agrees.
"We should celebrate!" Eri claps her hands happily together.
"Heh that sounds like fun." Bombarda nods.
"With an apple party!" Eri blushes brightly.
"Uh…sure? Maybe I'll bring back a souvenir." Smiling, Bombarda considers coyly.
"R-Really? Y-You don't have to if you don't want to!" Blushing brightly, Eri gushes giddily.
"Of course I want to, I overheard that in Otheon they have these Spanish apple tarts and baked apple with raisin and rum caramel sauce." Smiling, Bombarda explains.
"…Yummy…" Drool drops down the side of Eri's mouth.
"Thought you'd like that I'll try to bring them back if I can if not we can make them at my place." Bombarda offers.
"Y-You mean it?" Hopeful, Eri perks up at the thought.
"Course I do!" Bombarda smiles strained.
"Thanks Bombi you're the best!" Eri squeals smiling.
"Alright Eri time for you to go to bed." Groggily, Aizawa takes the phone off her.
"…Okay." Eri bows her head, shyly shuffling away.
"…You okay?" Aizawa asks eyeing Bombarda.
"Huh? Yeah just tired." Tiredly, Bombarda brushes Aizawa away, rubbing at her fatigued face.
"Alright I'll leave you to it. Rest up." Aizawa tells Bombarda.
"You too." Bombarda yawns.
"I mean it Kat…don't push yourself." Aizawa tells Bombarda as Bombarda simply nods, hanging up just as the door opens…
"So…how is she?" Hawks couldn't help but ask as Endeavor leans against the wall conversing with Hawks back at America alone munching away some bread, perched upon a rooftop alone, his back barely holding his wings, feathers spread out still searching for the bombs.
"She just came out of another meeting with them accusing Weaver of being with Humarise." Endeavor admits to Hawks.
"Weaver a part of Humarise? Please the girl's crazy but she's not that crazy." Hawks chuckles coyly at the thought.
"Yes well…Bombarda's doing the best she can for now." Endeavour sighs.
"I can imagine…still is she…doing okay?" Hawk's grip tightens tenses around the bread in his hand.
"Why don't you ask her yourself?" Endeavor frowns at Hawks.
"Bold of you to assume I haven't tried." Hawks huffs, smiling sadly.
"…She still ignoring your calls?" Endeavor assumes.
"…Yep". Hawks sighs sadly.
"Maybe you should speak to her face to face." Endeavor hints brow furrowed.
"…maybe. If you don't mind me asking how…how is she acting right now?" Shyly, Hawks rubs his crimson cheeks.
"Acting…right now?" Endeavour blinks befuddled.
"Yeah like…is she looking out at the sky thinking of me?" Hopeful, Hawks wonders.
"How would I know that?" Endeavour frowns.
"Oh is she like looking at old photos of us, of me?" Shyly, Hawks asks blushing scratching his cheek.
"I mean I see her looking at her phone." Endeavour eyes the back of Bombarda smiling at the photo.
"Looking wistfully at pictures of me?" Hopeful, he asks Endeavour.
"No…of a child I believe the one from the yakuza business." Endeavour awkwardly answers a part of him unable to not compare Hawks to some school girl gushing over some crush baffling Endeavour how he was talking to a so called adult male.
"Oh…that…that so…" Hawks smiles strained at the news.
"She's laughing, smiling too." Endeavour adds fuel to the fire imaginary arrows impaling Hawk's side.
"That so…?" Smiling strained, Hawks asks.
"It would seem so." Endeavor nods.
"Just…keep an eye on her would you?" Hawk's fingertips curl into his inner palm, brow furrowed pained.
"I will." Endeavor promises.
"Thanks." Hawks smiles softly sadly strained even as Endeavor hangs up, unaware of Hawk's pained sad smile looking over at the burner background, smiling sadly at the still sleeping Bombarda on his chest…
"Bombarda…?" Monoma comes in eyeing the back of the fatigued Bombarda.
"Hm?" Bombarda pinches the bridge of her nose turns to the blonde.
"You okay?" The blonde worriedly looks her over.
"Yeah…fine. How's things on your end?" Bombarda asks.
"Clair's search still hasn't helped me find any bombs." Monoma sighs.
"But mics?" Bombarda assumes.
"…A fair few around I'm surprised Clair didn't notice any…" Monoma admits.
"And what are people saying about Weaver?" Bombarda mutters under her breath brow furrowed fatigued from it all.
"Not good things, some of the heroes are thinking of going after her, bring her back to face justice." Monoma huffs hands in his pockets.
"…Course they are. Right…Monoma…" Bombarda grunts groggily.
"Hm?" Humming, Monoma looks down at Bombarda.
"Mind getting me some boba?" Bombarda requests.
"…Huh?" Monoma blurts out taken aback.
"I need something to keep me up." Bombarda grunts exhaustion etched into her tense tired tone.
"Right away! You got it!" Monoma salutes smiling setting off to do just that leaving the drained Bombarda to it.
"That's nonsense! What evidence is there to support that? Explain everything you have on Weaver, Commissioner General." Enraged, Endeavour snarls seething flames fiercely burning brightly by Bombarda's side.
"Endeavour calm down." Bombarda orders.
"But…!" Enraged, Endeavour turns to the stone faced brunette but…
"Weaver is my student she is my responsibility, getting mad will solve nothing. If you could tell us any more we would be appreciative." She simply stares ahead aloof.
"The case against Sayako Hakamada is still pending. I'm afraid I can't discuss any of the finer details with you. Especially considering you're her current boss and fellow countryman." He explains to her.
"Tch." Endeavour scowls.
"I understand Endeavour let's go." Bombarda turns her back to the policeman.
"But…!" Endeavour goes to argue however…
"Come on. We have disturbed the commissioner long enough I hope this candle can be taken as an apology." Her cold curt crimson gaze into his beady blaring blue before setting said candle down.
"A candle?" Confused, he eyes the candle.
"Indeed my friend makes them it is a custom often used to give gifts as an apology for being so rude I hope you enjoy it, its meant to help with omens and nightmares, Endeavour if you will as a sign of good faith." Bombarda gestures to the candle. The police commission glares at the glowering glaring number one hero huffing as he grumbles and ignites said candle before following her out.
Endeavor. Japan's number-one hero. Bombards, Japan's third best, those two are gravely afflicted with Stage Five. For humanity's salvation. The commission opens his desk, eyeing the familiar doomsday theory book placing his hand upon it praying almost.
"Why did you stop me?" Mad, Endeavour demands from her heatedly once alone.
"Because it was going to lead us nowhere." Bluntly, Bombarda deadpans.
"Huh?" Endeavour blinks befuddled.
"Something is clearly going on here, the police attacking a civilian like that and attacking Sayako too…I have a feeling there's corruption in the police." Pointedly, Bombarda explains to Endeavour.
"What? We must stop it!" Incensed, Endeavour seethes snarls.
"Endeavour you and I both know it isn't simple as that we are both visitors of this country we must abide by their playing field." Firmly, Bombarda reminds him.
"But your student is out there…!" Endeavour begins but…
"And I have faith in her abilities." Katsumi cuts Endeavour off.
"And the faith in the police?" Endeavour frowns.
"…We'll use them to the best as they are using us." Bombarda shrugs.
"…Right." Endeavour nods his head, following after her.
Silently, Bombarda leans back against the couch, plopping the back of her head down on top of the seat sighing shakily. Slowly, she closes her eyes attempting to regain some semblance of calm, of composure of control in not beating the heroes back in the meeting room up, she could feel her blood boil, bubble, burn even as she tried to simmer said scarlet stream within her down. How did they know Weaver liked to travel though? Bombarda's brow furrows fatigued from the thought, did they do a history check on her? Bombarda knew some countries wouldn't be too enthusiastic over her lineage but those sorts of countries were dying out…even then though even the countries that encouraged such partnerships still had a vocal minority against it.
Bombarda grumbles at the headache surface brushing her fingertips through her hair at the headache attempting to resurface, it still startled her how in a society she lived in, people like that sill remained then again if she learned anything from that mutant mash, people of that sort seem to still be thriving as well within this society. Bombarda just didn't get the whole fuss, was it of the relationship itself or of the means of which Sayako was created? She knew Kiyoko's quirk was a dangerous one, a quirk many counties would want to make a super human army to go against other countries, combing the most powerful of quirks without relying on lady lucky as many who chose to be in a quirk arranged marriage due despite the taboo nature of it all…it was all so confusing, Bombarda couldn't help but release a small struggling sound from it all.
Regardless, if they knew that about Sayako who knew what else they knew…? Had they hoped maybe to blackmail them in the future if things did not go there way…Sayako was the one who was a wanted criminal…why choose her? Why not someone like Todoroki, he is the son of the number one hero in Japan? Endeavour was already a controversial figure as it were…Bombarda didn't know, frankly, she didn't care all she cared about was making sure her teacher didn't kill her. Bombarda's brow furrows from the sickening sensation in her gut at the thought of her teacher…she knew she'd have to tell him eventually…no matter how hard she pushed back against it. Bombarda takes out her phone about to open it to open contacts when spotting the numerous missed calls a familiar number from a familiar burner making her sigh too tired to deal with the bombardment of texts she swipes them aside about to ring her mentor when…
"Bombarda…" Bombarda perks up at Endeavour craning her head to look up at the number one hero, his heat heightening the room's temperature as Bombarda's brow furrows fatigued from the calls as it were…
"…Endeavor." Bombarda exhales exhausted turning to face the man, her arm draped over the top of the sofa, leaning her front on the back of the sofa pressing it against it to turn to look up at the red, his brow firmly furrowed at her, expecting to hear his lecture about representing Japan, a lecture she would swiftly zone out of, not having the energy for any of it but instead…
"You doing okay?" Awkwardly, Endeavor coughs into his fist frowning glaring to the side.
"Hm?" Humming, Bombarda befuddled blinks taken aback at his question.
"Are you…alright?" Endeavor asks awkwardly.
"O-Oh! Uh…yeah…I think?" Bombarda blinks, having no clue what to make of his concern, still surprised to hear him sound so genuinely concern from such a stiff man.
"You think?" Endeavour eyes the baffled Bombarda stunned that this conversation was even happening.
"I mean…you can' deny we've had better days." Bluntly, Bombarda deadpans, shrugging still lost having no real clue what to say or do.
"…you're referring to Weaver." Endeavor assumes his blues softening sadly at Bombarda.
"…Yeah." Bombarda glances back over her phone, dread hitting her hard at the thought of her mad mentor's rage.
"Bombarda do you know where Shoto is?" Endeavor pries making Bombarda raise a befuddled brow, surprised did…dd he not know?
"Oh after Sayako." Casually, Bombarda goes back to her phone, lingering upon the screen of Kazz's contact hesitating to call.
"What!?" Endeavor's fierce flames ignite.
"Guessing you didn't know…" Unfazed by said fierce fiery flames assumes as she eyes the shell shocked Endeavor looking ready to combust concerning those walking by, alarmed almost scared at being burnt alive or burnt to a crisp by the number one pro of Japan.
"Of course not! Wait they told you!?" Endeavor gawks gapes at Bombarda.
"Well…." Bombarda trails off glancing to the side sheepishly.
"Um Kat…" Meekly, Midoriya approaches Bombarda sipping some boba, scrolling through her phone.
"Hmmm." Bombarda remains glued to her phone scrolling still sipping some boba. Bemused by the small videos of huskies howling.
"We're sorta well…please don be mad." Meekly, Midoriya bows before Bombarda back to the boy sweat spewing out of him.
"We're going after Threads." Bluntly, Bakugo steps up.
"K-Kachan!" Midoriya frets fearfully.
"Please do not try to stop us." Shoto steps up as well determined.
"…Kay." Bombarda brushes the boys off taking them aback.
"…Eh?" The group of boys blink befuddled.
"And oh here." Bombarda tosses Bakugo something.
"…" Bakugou's brow furrows from the small capsule.
"For Weaver. Oh be sure to come back would you? Mom would kill me if I made auntie cry." Bombarda asserts as Bakugou's grip tightens tenses around the pill capsule, fingertips curling around the vial before nodding no words needing to be shed as the boys head out.
"And you just let them go!?" Endeavour roars.
"You think I can stop them?" Bemused, Bombarda scoffs smirking shaking her head haughtily at the thought. A still silence falling between both heroes.
"Shoto doesn't tell me anything…" Endeavor bows his head anguished.
"Please don't do the…" Bombarda begins but…
"SHOTO!" Shouting, Endeavour busts into flames before just the done Bombarda going back to her phone.
"…I asked for one thing today." Tiredly, Bombarda grumbles glaring down at the screen of her phone, leaving Endeavor to whatever it was he was doing.
Quietly, the gleaming glow of purple resonates through the dark depths of the lab, bubbles bubbling upwards from the tubes containing nomu after nomu with wires of all sorts sparkling light blue all over. Silently, Kazz continues exploring the dark depths of the lab, his brow furrowed silently recording it all attempting to warn those in wait for the day to come however Kazz soon stops, shadows soon shrouding over him when spotting the familiar back of Dabi and the doctor conversing about something, Kazz tries to listen but curses when finding nothing not even able to read the lips much to his frustration. The two soon leave, Kazz keeping his lip shut, holding in his breath watching the doctor head further into the lab with Dabi taking his leave, Kazz feels his blood boil, bubble burn by the sheer sight of one of the many who had kidnapped his daughter. His hand silently slides down cursing at his lack of sheath seeing said silver spew out of the flame wielder being transported elsewhere.
Kazz counts to himself once the two are gone, his eye blaring blue before taking his shot silently approaching the tube, the two were observing. His heart drops drenched at the sad sight before him, tears threatening to fall from the man encased in the tube before him. He stares stunned up at the tubed Tsunagu, tears truly freely falling from the sight, rage consuming him almost temptation taunting him to destroy it all, to break every single thing in the lab but the bubbles busting from the tube take him aback as he looks up at the tube.
"Those bastards…what did they do to you!?" Kazz fumes seethes snarls scowling up at the tubed Tsunagu. Kazz looks up at the tubed Tsunagu, his heart aching anguished pained by the sad sight of the man before him. He reaches out to the tube, softly setting his hand upon the tube, pained to feel the crips cool surface of the tube, thumbing the tube eyes widening when the bubbles begin bubbling taking him aback at the sound of frantic footsteps.
"Sorry Tsu…" Kazz whispers weakly before snapping his fingertips, a piece of rock replacing where he once stood, taking off as the doctor tends to the tubed corpse of Jeanist. His heart heavy anguished at the thought of leaving him in such a state as he went back to work.
Quietly, Kazz teary eyed looks down at the phone below of the pictures proudly presented consisting of a family photo of a younger Kazz and Tsunagu smiling in a fancy restaurant, clicking their champagne glasses to another of him smiling shyly suited up with a cool calm composed Tsunagu in a rather flashy suit by his side. Kazz sniffles softly at another photo of both the younger Kazz and Tsunagu, the two holding their respective child, a smiling Sayako in Tsunagu's arms and him holding a happy Hikaru with Orochi standing silently between the family. Frowning, Kazz blinks back the tired tears wiping them away as he pours himself some coffee silently sliding a small frail flask of some sort of concoction into the drink, downing it just as his phone buzzes.
"Hello?" The groggy voice of Kazz greets Katsumi, Kazz trying to ignore the urge to nod off.
"Kazz…hey buddy." Bombarda greets the frowning Kazz.
"…What are you doing Kat?" Kazz notes Katsumi's tone tiredly tense even at that.
"Look…something's come up, something you may hear about soon." Sighing, Katsumi leans back in her seat trying to warn him at the least. It was better that this came from her then some stranger on screen…even if through that way she could avoid hearing his roaring rageful lecture.
"What's that?" Kazz furrows his brow befuddled.
"…Sayako…may have gotten into some trouble." Tiredly, Katsumi reveals.
"…What sort of trouble?" Kazz's brow furrows fatigued.
"Well…she may be a country wanted criminal." Katsumi squeaks slightly sinking into her seat scared for what was to come.
"WHAT!?" Kazz roars, his sharp snap echoing throughout the whole hospital taking a fair few of the patients aback as some of the doctors simply sigh adjusted to Kazz's demeanour.
"So…yeah…" Katsumi rubs her aching ear the phone far from her ear and yet she still felt the ringing in her ears.
"So yeah!? That's all you have to say!? Where is she!? Is she safe!? Is she breathing!? Is she okay!? Has she taken her medicine!?" Mad, Kazz demands frets fearfully panic pouring out of him.
"No idea, probably, probably again and again can't say for the last one." Katsumi answers unfazed.
"Katsumi….what happened?" Kazz leans over the counter, his hand firmly over his eyes rubbing at his eyes.
"Look we're doing what we can okay?" Katsumi rubs her tense tired temple, trying to beat back the headache resurfacing once more.
"Just tell me what happened!" Kazz commands cold cross.
"…She…Otheon police believe she killed twelve people." Katsumi sighs sadly.
"What…? No Sayako wouldn't she…" Kazz tries to argue panic pumping through his veins, was she safe? Was she okay? Was she alright? Anxiously, Kazz couldn't help but wonder worrying about it all.
"I know that Kazz I know." Katsumi sighs.
"Then why aren't you out there to find her?!" Kazz snaps sharply seething scowling, blood boiling, bubbling burning.
"Because we can't we're being monitored Kazz." Katsumi whispers to Kazz.
"…You mean…" Kazz's eyes expand at the implication alone eyeing the doorframe of the staff kitchen.
"Yeah something's going on, something bigger if we follow…" Katsumi begins…
"The police follow." Kazz ends.
"…Yeah. " Katsumi nods.
"God…dammit…" Kazz slams his furious fist upon the kitchen counter, crimson leaking out from his hand.
"Kazz…" Katsumi furrows his brow at his voice.
"You don't think…they targeted her do you?" Kazz couldn't help but worry weakly whispering it.
"Kazz I don't…I don't know." Katsumi sighs.
"But if they did…!?" Kazz frets frowning.
"Kazz…" Katsumi begins but…
"Sayako…oh god." Sayako combs his fingertips fretfully through his hair horrified from it all.
"She'll be fine Kazz she's strong." Katsumi reminds Katsuki.
"It isn't about being strong! It's…It's…don't you think we've done enough to her…!?" Kazz's voice breaks making Katsumi grimace.
"Kazz…" Katsumi sighs sadly at Kazz but…
"I…I have to go." Kazz frowns from the sound of footsteps approaching, hearing the sound of a nurse greeting a certain someone as he quickly hangs up.
"Doctor Sachiko there you are." The doctor peers in, the smaller goggled man eyeing Kazz.
"Ah doctor hello." Kazz smiles strained at the doctor below.
"Had a nice break?" He asks Kazz.
"Yeah I'll be back to work." Kazz walks past him.
"Very good." The doctor nods watching Kazz head off, going to work…
"Sayako…please…be okay. Kazz couldn't help but think to himself downing his coffee before heading to work while within the tubed lies Tsunagu, bubbles bubbling…
"Emergency alert, sir! Humarise has started a broadcast and it's streaming across the planet." Back at the director's base, one of those on standby report to both All Might and the director.
"Put it on the screen!" The director orders as the screen turns red with Humanize symbol on it.
"Humarise will now fulfil its purpose. To protect the pure humans who are called "powerless," against those who have been infected by the wicked disease known as Quirks. We have developed humanity salvation devices that will cleanse this world. Soon, they will be activated in countries." Flect's voice rings through the scream, all heroes watching the broadcast live.
"Seriously?" Mineta freaks out from the news.
"This deliverance from evil shall be witnesses by all in two hours." Flect continues on.
"That's hardly any time at all!" Fatgum complains from a different country with Tetsutetsu, Kirishima and Suneater.
"However, we are not without mercy. If you wish to prevent this plan from going into effect, we will generously reveal the countries where our devices have been installed." Flect continues on.
"What is he playing at?" Momo's eyes narrow at the map showing said marked locations.
"Even if you do not understand our righteous cause, you will have a chance to live on." Flect finishes his broadcast unaware of the silently scowling Endeavour and Bombarda. Tokoyami and Hawks silently listen from America, the group of them knowing what to be done.
"Director. These are the zones the bomb are placed in. They match up with the locations of known Humarise branches!" The person on standby reports.
"It's possible this is a giant trap." One of the workers worry.
"But we can't afford to be that cautious." All Might throws in.
"Give marching orders to the hero teams on standby!" The director dictates.
"Yes, sir!" The operators comply just as fanatic beeping comes in.
"There's widespread panic in each of the affected zones." A operate reports showing said screen flashing fiercely as elsewhere people are screaming scared of what could come.
"Surrounding areas are in chaos as well." Another worker adds.
"Streets are gridlocked. Transportation is a mess." An operator reports as car crashes against each other.
"Suneater, you search for anybody who's injured. Red Riot and Real Steel, you secure a solid evacuation route!" Fatgum gives his orders as they do just that.
"Roger that! Chimera Kraken!" Suneater uses his tentacles to grab passersby.
"Let's do this!" Tetsu moulds his body to steel striking at the lorry.
"Come on, Red Gauntlet!" Kirishima joins in both bashing the lorry blocking the path away.
"There! This is your way out!" Kirishima tells the crowd.
"Don't stand there gawking-go!" Tetsutetsu orders.
"Cementoss!" Mic rushes over to him.
"Make it a loud one, Mic." Cementoss forms a slide by the motorway.
"Listen up, everybody! We've got a rockin' path for you over here, so get to sliding!" Mic roars calling out to the people trying to flee in their cars.
"Remain calm. Don't panic!" Cementoss calms those sliding down.
"We're counting on you, search team!" He turns towards the tall towering building.
"Find me that Trigger bomb immediately. Hear me?" Gang Orca orders using his sonar with Shoji and Jiro.
"Understood, sir!" The two comply searching for the bomb.
"Ribbit!" Elsewhere, Asui wraps her tongue around the floating lorry moving it out of the way.
"We've got the evacuations under control!" Ochaco reports touching another car after another.
"Then it's up to us to find the enemy's device." Ryuko rushes off with her sidekicks.
"Tsukuyomi, leave the evacuations to the American team. It'll be easier for us to find that death bomb with a bird's-eye view." Hawks soars high into the sky with Tokoyami.
"Roger that!" Tokoyami nods.
"Go. Fierce Wings! Leave no corner unsearched." Hawks spreads his wings out sending feather after feather trying to find that bomb.
"Tokage! Take these sensors and spread them around the city." Momo makes said sensors.
"No sweat! We won't let anyone die today." Tokage grabs each of them with her separated body part searching the city.
"Momo, Shall we head to the next spot?" Majestic floats above.
"Yes, sir!" Momo leaps upon one of his platforms the two taking off.
The soft snores of the police echoes throughout the department while others pant, police officers tug at their collars, sweat sliding down their tense temple, their brow furrowed from the faint flicker of a shadow they saw they saw but brush it off when finding no one in sight, was it a hallucination? "Had it always been this hot?" The officers couldn't help but wonder however the sweat sliding down his tense temple taking his attention away, oblivious to the blonde sneakily making his way inside…
The soft snore echoes throughout the commissioner's room as he lies in the room of the sickly sweet scent, oblivious to the low candle swiftly snuffed out by a bemused blonde, beginning to dig in….
"Clair, where's the device, dammit?" Endeavour curses cross as he flies high in the sky Burnin' by his side with Claire on top of the squirrels.
"There's no sign of it in this area. Moving to the next location." Clair leaves on said squirrel.
Shoto. What are you doing? Hurry up and get back here. Endeavor couldn't help but worry brow furrowed oblivious to what was going on.
Quietly, Bombarda leans against the wall as the search continues, arching a bored brow by the blonde boy approaching.
"Monoma found anything?" Bombarda turns to the blonde boy revealing himself smirking smugly.
"This." He hands her the doomsday book which she catches with her robotic hand.
"I take this was in the director's office?" She asks.
"Yes mam. Along with this." Monoma nods handing her a memory card.
"I take it Firefly's candle worked then." Bombarda assumes amused.
"Yes I don't know what she put in it but the police were out like a light." Merrily, Monoma smirks smugly.
"Good at least they won't be as troublesome this way." Bombarda inserts the card into her phone eyeing the files before her.
"Smart thinking of you to have me pat Firefly before we left." Monoma compliments.
"Firefly's quirk has always been useful I'm just glad it wasn't a blank…did Claire's clairvoyance help at all?" Bombarda queries.
"It did help me find that book for starters I searched the guy's computer and found a fair few files." He admits.
"Good." Her eyes narrow at the files filled to the brim with evidence.
"…Just as I suspected. Monoma continue using Clair's clairvoyance use her cloud if need be." Sternly, Bombarda orders.
"Right!" Momona gets on his own formed cloud, Bombarda joining him as he takes off. She turns to glare down at the book below.
"Endeavour ." Bombarda presses her fingertips to her earpiece.
"Bombarda status." Sternly, Endeavour orders.
"It's as we feared." Bombarda's brow furrows from the book.
"Dammit!" Endeavour curses.
"Momona is searching with Clair's clairvoyance. Continue searching the bomb I'm sending this to HQ." Sternly, she orders as she gets on her phone.
"Right, Bombarda be careful." Endeavour warns continuing the search as she sends said files to HQ.
"So many folders…." Midoriya eyes the computer screen before him after implanting the card.
"Where do we even start?" Sayako couldn't help but wonder.
"Move it! Where's the most recent timestamp?" Katsuki grumbles brushing Midoriya off to search.
"It's this video file." Sayako points out as Katsuki clicks on it.
"Hello. My name is Alan Kay. Along with several other scientists, I was kidnapped by Humarise." The eyepatch wearing man talks to the camera.
"Kidnapped?" Midoriya exclaims perking Rody's interest.
"In order to enact their plans, Humarise took our families hostage and forced us to manufacture Quirk Factor Triggering bomb against our wills. The first terrorist attack using one of these devices was merely a ploy, to gather the world's top heroes in places where Humarise branches are located. The group is planning to use these horrible bomb to eradicate those pros. In an instant, the hero population will be decimated. After losing its top heroes, society would collapse. Using the vacuum of chaos afterward, Humarise will wipe out anyone with powers and build a world where only the Quirkless are allowed. That is the true goal of Flect Turn, the leader of Humarise. A madman. I hope my voice will reach the heroes in time. Eddie Soul, another scientist here, lost his life helping me. He made the key I've included that will disarm the bomb at their base. Please. Save the world." Alan explains to the group, Katsuki furrowing his brow by the thought of the numerous dead bodies of heroes, Todoroki, Sayako and Midoriya the same thinking of a dead Endeavour, a bloodied Hawks and decimated Bombarda all piled up alongside the rest that is until…
"…Soul?" Softly, Sayako says perking up at the name as she turns to Rody her eyes widening when seeing the tearful Rody. However before she could even ask eyeing the tearful Pino a sharp scream brings them towards the tv the people within the room the group were in fleeing frightened from the report continuing on.
"I repeat, Humarise, the organization advocating for the salvation of humanity, has placed bomb around the world. The weapon are set to explode in one hour and minutes, unless the heroes are able to find and disarm them, worldwide. As you might expect, panic has gripped the areas where the devices are said to be located. Heroes have been working to evacuate people to safety and subvert this attack. Areas in danger of being affected by the bomb are as follows." The man on screen continues his report showing the locations effected.
"No, it can't be. That circle's in Otheon!" Rody recognises.
"Rody…" Sayako whispers worriedly eyeing him.
"My house is inside of it!" Rody turns panicked towards Sayako.
"Oh, no." Midoriya whispers as elsewhere a tearful Lola and Roro hold each other watching on from the inside of their home as the people scream and flee, the two siblings cling together terrified.
"We should send this to HQ and have them order the hero teams to retreat before it's too late." Todoroki rushes to the computer but…
"We can't do that." Katsuki stops him.
"The heroes are out there looking for the Trigger bomb. Even if they're the actual targets of the terrorist attack. Even if they know this is a trap." Tense, Sayako scowls.
"As long as there are people who need help, the pros will never leave them and run away. That's what makes them heroes." Midoriya adds.
"Humarise counted on this when they came up with their plan…" Sayako scowls.
"Then what are we supposed to do?" Todoroki demands.
"Seems we have no choice. We have to use that disarming key. It's up to us to stop those bomb." Sayako reasons taking everyone aback.
"But how do we do that?" Midoriya argues.
"On it! The answer has to be in here somewhere. You're an idiot if you make a key without telling people where the lock is! We look for the place that wasn't part of their announcement. This is where their base is!" Katsuki rushes to the computer.
"Kacchan, can you find where the bomb controls are?" Midoriya asks him.
"Let me work, ya damn nerd!" Katsuki snaps scowling.
"The furthest area underground…" Sayako furrows her brow by the location.
"So we know where it is, but it's more than kilometres away from where we are." Todoroki points out.
"We can make it." Rody speaks up on the computer next to them.
"Rody?" Sayako turns to him confusion clear on her furrowed features.
"I think I know how to get us there." He points to the flying pad.
"Don't worry. I know the basic controls. This is no time to be chirping!" Sweat slides down the tense temple of Rody, headphones on as he feels Pino flail flap her wings all over the place as Rody rides the plane, driving them to their designated area.
"We'll definitely stop the Trigger bomb. Todoroki zips up his boot.
"We'll crush those crazy cult bastards! Katsuki prepares his grenade gauntlets.
"We'll protect the heroes our friends, and the world! Midoriya adjusts his gloves.
"We can't fail!" Quietly, Sayako puts on a familiar jacket, a sewn patch upon the fine fabric of luxury, feeling the brisk breeze of feathers flutter from her coat.
"We just received a transmission from Shoto. He's a hero who was sent to Otheon. He says that he's obtained a master disarming key for the Trigger bomb!" The operator reports to All Might and the director.
"Where is he now?" The director demands.
"Heading to where the villain's main system is located, inside a hidden Humarise facility." The operator answers.
"Young Todoroki. Young Bakugo. Young Sayako. Young Midoriya. All Might worriedly watches the screen.
"Shoto's figured out a way to disarm these damn devices?" Endeavour perks up at the news.
"Then let's go support him!" Burnin' reasons however…
"We can't. Our priority is evacuation in case he should fail." Endeavour reminds her.
"Endeavor!" Bombarda calls out through the intercom.
"What is it?" Endeavour answers the call.
"Monoma finally found the target." Bombarda tells him.
"Where?" Endeavour queries as Bombarda blasts around.
"It's in front of the north gate of Otheon Tower. Inside a semi-truck!" Bombarda reports.
"Heroes near the tower. Get that bomb out of here!" Endeavour orders.
"Roger!" The heroes nearby go to do just that as just then…
"SHIT!" Endeavour perks up at Bombarda's curse.
"Bombarda come in! What the hell is this?" Alarmed, Endeavour calls out before gasping when a bright binding of green grabs him and Burnin.'
"Shoji! They're saying Sayako and the others are heading to disarm the bomb!" Jiro gasps reporting the news to him however…
"Don't lose focus! For now, we need to keep concentrating on the mission we were charged with." Shoji sternly reminds Jiro.
"Right. Yeah." Jiro goes back to it however…
"There! I've found it. It's in the third container of that freight train! Quickly, shrimps! Go!" Gang Orca reports.
"We're on it." Fatgum with Suneater jump down only to be greeted by men in red robes.
"Oh, no! Villains!" Suneater gasps.
"Crap. Of course there'd be guards." Fatgum curses, the two take on the guards on the train.
"Uravity, Froppy, hurry! Get that bomb away from everyone!" Ryuko shifts into her dragon form taking on the giant lion in red robes.
"Yes, ma'am!" Ochaco and Froppy go to do just that.
"I believe Deku and the others will stop the bomb for us! But we'll do what we can to back them up until then! Ochaco glares at the men in robes leaping down read to fight.
"Get outta the way!" Ochaco yells rushing at the robed men.
"Argh!" Bombarda roars ripping the tendrils of a squid off her, crimson comes gushing out with black ink intermixing. She doesn't bat an eye to it, blasting towards the boy in the cloud trying to avoid the blasts thrown his way.
"Monoma I'll cover you, just send all the evidence to HQ." Sternly, she hands her phone over to him.
"Right!" Momona agrees as he takes off.
"WHO WANTS TO DIE FIRST!?" Furious, Bombarda bellows at the men in red robes rushing at her as she rushes at them, ready to take them all on as Endeavour takes on his fair share of robes with Burnin.
"Our teams have found the devices. But they're meeting resistance from Humarise. They're not making this easy. We have less than minutes on the clock." The operator reports to them.
"The pros across the world are fighting desperately. But we're counting on you now, future heroes!" All Might thinks to himself helpless in the fight as rain pours from the high heavens hitting the airplane approaching the base.
"Almost there." Rody calls out to the four.
"Right…" Sayako adjusts her jacket ready for the fight ahead.
"The afflicted must be purged." Flect dictates as the three behind him bow before taking their leave.
"That's it! The base! Going in for a landing. Brace yourselves." Rody warns however...
"No. Rody, you turn back." Sayako orders.
"What?" Rody says surprised.
"You're a civilian Rody, people like you don't know how to fight. It would be for you to stay out of the way. We'll radio you when we finish up here." Sayako dictates.
"You can't just…!" Rody scowls however…
"Thread's right. An extra like you will only hold us back." Bluntly, Bakugo agrees.
"She has a point." Todoroki adds as they open the door.
"Please for your own safety stay back you've done enough." Midoriya assures Rody.
"But…" Rody's grip tightens tenses around the wheel watching them ready for the jump.
"Just stay safe okay?" Sayako smiles patting his shoulder.
"And what about you?" Rody glares at Sayako.
"It's my job remember." Sayako smirks shirking her hand back but...
"Don't be stupid, got that?!" Rody scowls at Sayako grabbing hold of her hand, sternly staring into her eyes, grey glaring into green.
"Can't make any promises I'm afraid." Amused, Sayako smirks winking cheekily at the boy before sliding her hand out of his, heading to the door and leaping off.
"Sayako!" Rody calls out to the girl, Pino crying terrified through the rainfall joining the boys as they dive down.
"This is a job for heroes!" Midoriya, Todoroki, Sayako and Bakugo bellow before diving down to deal with the robed figures below…
Quietly, the beep of the monitor echoes as Sayako silently stares out at the window of the bright blue sky seeing the clouds go by. Brow furrowed, her eyes narrow at the phone in her hand, still nothing…what did she really expect? They couldn't contact her not now…it wasn't agreed nor planned, none of this was planned, still Sayako couldn't help but feel an ache in her constricted chest at the thought.
"Hey…" Bombarda enters the hospital room.
"…Hi." Sayako turns to greet her.
"How you feeling?" Bombarda eyes the fatigued face of Sayako.
"Tired." Sayako shrugs silently staring out at the window.
"As expected of the girl who helped save the world." Bemused, Bombarda takes a seat
"…Bombarda…the trouble I caused with the police…." Pained, Sayako begins bowing her head ashamed almost until…
"It's sorted." Simply, she states.
"But…!" Sayako frets frowning.
"It's fine your name is clear and everything has been sorted." She promises Sayako.
"Right…" Sayako trails off.
"What's wrong?" Bombarda takes note of Sayako's furrowed frown.
"That Flect guy…he knew about my fathers…he mentioned he did his research…you don't think…?" Tentatively, Sayako begins to fret furrowing her brow by the thought trailing off anxiously.
"…I doubt he knows where they are." Bombarda assures her.
"…Right…good. That's…good." Sayako whispers weakly glancing to the side solemnly.
"He's safe Sayako they're all safe." Assuredly, she places her hand on Sayako's shoulder.
"…Good. I'm…glad." Sayako bows her head.
"…If it's anything I was told to give you a message." Bombarda concedes.
"What is it?" Sayako pries perplexed.
"The least you could do is make your wanted picture look good." Bombarda recites bringing a small smirk to Sayako's lips.
"Heh…of course he'd say that anything else?" Sayako smirks sadly at the thought of them.
"Well aside from the screaming Kazz begging to see his baby, Hikaru asks if you're okay, I said you were fine your father demanded all the details." Bombarda concedes.
"…Course he did the worrywart." Sayako smiles sadly at the thought of them, her chest aching at the thought.
"To be fair you were shot in the eye." Bluntly, Bombarda reminds Sayako.
"Hmm seems fine." Sayako shrugs.
"Fortunately for us recovery girl was on standby she won't always be you know?" Bombarda reminds Sayako.
"Yeah yeah…how'd Rody?" Sayako sighs.
"Rody?" Bombarda queries.
"The guy I was with." Sayako clarifies.
"Oh him, he's fine with family now." Bombarda answers.
"Good…I'm glad…." Sayako sighs softly smiling shyly relieved.
"You sure you're okay?" Bombarda eyes Sayako noting her pained eyes.
"…My phone…broke." Sayako sighs sadly.
"Sayako…" Bombarda's brow furrows at Sayako.
"I don't remember if I put it on a backup or anything either and I think the memory was destroyed too with the battery." Pained, Sayako grimaces at the ache in her constricted chest.
"…I'm sorry." Bombarda's eyes soften sadly at the girl losing her only link to her parents.
"It's…it's fine everyone's safe that's all that matters." Sayako smiles strained, they were safe, her holding onto such a phone would only case problems later on in the future.
"Sayako…" Bombarda's eyes soften sadly at her.
"If anything I'm grateful my folks weren't here heh they'd be demanding to know what I did." Sayako smiles strained.
"They were concerned for you on the phone." Bombarda assures her.
"I know that I just…I guess a selfish part of me wishes they were here." Honestly, Sayako concedes.
"…Sayako." Bombarda's brow furrows.
"But I get it they have their duties to uphold as I have mine…whatever it is they're doing." Sayako sighs softly telling herself that, ingoing the anguished ache in her chest oblivious to the pair of eyes on her.
"H-Hold on you two!" Rody squirms struggles using the crutch to limp over to his siblings rushing over to a certain room peering in.
"She's so pretty!" Lala's eyes sparkle slightly at the sight of the bedridden blonde.
"Wow that's Bombarda!" Roro recognises in awe at the brunette conversing with the blonde.
"Lala Roro hey wait…!" Rody frowns at the two leaning against his crutch finally catching up to the two.
"That's her isn't it? The pretty girl who saved you!" Lala points to the blonde, Rody's eyes expanding when seeing said blonde oblivious to the three converse with the brunette.
"Well technically…" Rody begins but…
"We wanna meet her!" Lala rushes to the door.
"Hold on I don't think we can just get…!" Rody frets however…
"But we wanna meet her!" Lala whines.
"Yeah we want to thank her!" Roro joins in.
"Guys come on the doctors are still working on her we can't just…" Rody tries to explain but…
"Can I help you?" The three squeak at the figure that is Bombards before them.
"Eep!" The three squeak shocked to see said terrifying figure.
"Uh well we…" Rody squirms slightly trying to talk but the woman's intimidating aura of bloodlust and ice cold glare scares Rody.
"We want to thank the pretty lady for saving our brother." Roro reveals stepping up.
"Yeah she and my brother saved the world!" Lala adds standing before Bombarda baffling Rody to see such confidence, the children standing their ground before Bombarda.
"Oh you're Rody…sure come on." Smirking, she steps aside for the three.
"W-Wait seriously?" Rody blinks baffled but soon gasps when…
"Yay!" Roro and Lala rush in.
"Oi Roro Lala!" Rody rushes in after them, his eyes widening when his greets meet a pair of surprised green perking up at the sight of the two children rushing over to her. Bombarda smiles softly at the sight of the group, smirking when noting the bright broad blush upon the boy eyeing Sayako simply smiling, the kids rushing over to her as Bombarda couldn't help but shake her head, to be young again…what she wouldn't give to have someone look at her like that…
"You sure you shouldn't wait for him…" Todoroki couldn't help but eye Sayako adjusting the strap of her back as they all stand at the airport waiting for their flight to head back home.
"Nah…it's better this way you know?" Sayako sighs sadly solemnly, she had so much on her plate, bringing him into it after all that…not to mention his family too, she couldn't do that to him, she was a stranger, he knew only for a few days…she would be nothing more than a distant memory with time.
"You guys seem close." Todoroki furrows his brow at her.
"Maybe we are but… he shouldn't get involved with me, not with well you know…" Sayako gestures with her hand her eyes narrowing at the thought of a certain golden eyed snake boy besides the distance didn't exactly help matters.
"Sayako…" Todoroki's eyes soften sadly at her.
"Look he just got through this with his family my whole drama isn't something he needs…all I really seem to do is cause trouble or bring it you know? It's best if I just left." Sayako states the fact firmly with the commission breathing down her neck they could endanger Rody, he and his family had been through enough.
"...Did you take double your prescription?" Todoroki eyes Sayako.
"No! I just…it's better this way…if he found about the real me…who I really am…I doubt he'd like me." Sayako scoffs, she could be problematic to some, she wasn't someone she should be near not unless they knew how to fight. Rody was a villain not a warrior.
"You don't know that." Todoroki disputes but…
"…I…huh?" Sayako perks up at the chirp of a familiar bird turning to…
"Rody wh-what are you doing? You should still be in hospital!" Stunned, Sayako turns to Rody using his crutch to hobble over, alarmed at the sight of him concern clear on her furrowed features towards him.
"Ah, they said I was good to head back home.." Rody reassures her however…
"…Are you sure? I mean…" Sayako couldn't help but fret unaware of the bemused Bombarda and tired Endeavour already ahead of the children.
"Ah to be young again…" Wistfully, Katsumi sighs softly at the sight of Sayako fussing over Rody reassuring her all was well despite the stick he had called a crutch.
"You're in your early twenties." Endeavour frowns at Katsumi.
"You know what I mean. You'd never see me with this much luck with guys, maybe it's the Jeanist charm." Cheekily, Katsumi smiles at the thought.
"…Jeanist charm?" Endeavour frowns from the thought.
"I'm just saying…having someone look at me the way he looks at her…what I'd give for that." Bombarda smiles sadly strained even as she goes on ahead boarding the plane oblivious to the shell-shocked Endeavor, he knew Bombarda was oblivious but not to this degree. Drained, Endeavour bows his head shaking it, too tired to even get into that rabbit hole. A part of him couldn't help but pity Hawks almost at who he had fallen for before following after Bombarda, heading back to Japan...
*Been a bit hope you guys have been well...thought to give Bombarda's side of things for World Heroes!*
