Bobby groaned as he awoke to Nickelback booming from the bathroom. His stomach growled, fully waking him up as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes.
"Bobby?"
Hearing his name being called, Bobby turned to see another boy looking at him in confusion. This boy was lean but still well-built, with long black hair tied into a ponytail that reached midway down his back. There was an orange streak on the left side of his hair, and his pupils were X-shaped.
"Morning, Reg."
"What did you do?" The boy asked.
"Just went out for some air, stopped a mugging or two…" Bobby lied, finding the layout of the room more interesting than making eye contact with his concerned friend….who obviously didn't buy it.
"You went out with Mr. E, didn't you?"
"It was really important, okay?" Bobby said defensively.
"I won't tell Mrs. Star…" Reggie sighed with a knowing smile as his friend relaxed. "But you better be prepared to explain to a certain girlfriend of yours…"
Bobby's form filled with fear at his friend's words, which grew as he heard cheerful laughter.
"Uh oh! You're going to get in trouble, Bobby!" Sang a very happy girl as she stepped out of the bathroom, a streak of electricity seeming to follow her as the song that had been blasting ended.
She had short white hair with yellow and blue lightning-like streaks throughout it. She wore a white t-shirt with a lightbulb on it and a pair of sweatpants with the name 'Tesla' embroidered on them
"Nat, don't play with the sockets, please."
The girl pouted as she snapped her finger and the steak of electricity turned into a disc-like shape that she spun around her finger.
"Hey, I need to keep my reserve up."
"I don't suppose I could buy your silence?" Bobby asked weakly.
"…Sushi." Natalie smiled. "I want sushi. Not from the hotel."
"….That's it?"
"Yeppers!" She beamed as she dragged the two boys out of the room. "Now…ONWARDS! Breakfast awaits!"
Bobby and Reggie smiled as they were dragged to the dining room.
"How do we put up with her, again?" Bobby asked
"We don't." Reggie reminded him with a sigh, but smiling all the same.
MHPP
Breakfast at the hotel was a change of pace for half of the students. Most were familiar with cereal, eggs, bacon, waffles, and other assorted foods for breakfast. And while those were still available, some went for a more traditional Japanese-style breakfast; either that or a special breakfast bento.
Bobby went with a bowl of miso soup, some rice, and grilled fish with a side order of natto and green salad for breakfast.
"You okay, Bobby?" The boy looked beside him to see a girl with short red hair and a cute cloud hairpin looking at him in concern. "They just passed around a round of juice and you didn't ask for more."
Bobby realized that their waiter had just passed with a jug of orange juice and that he was running low on his glass. Oh well, it wasn't the end of the world, he mused.
"Just a little jet-lagged, Riley." He assured her, giving her a peck on the forehead. "Didn't get much sleep last night."
"Same here." One particularly sleepy-looking boy as he munched on some toast and took a tiny sip of coffee.
"Dreaming about my sis?" Teased a blonde and voluptuous girl with braids who sat next to Riley, who was then lightly smacked by a Latina girl sitting next to her.
"Brittany, it's too early to tease anyone." She lectured as she sipped at her tea and downed a forkful of Huevos rancheros.
Brittany pouted playfully. "You never let me have fun, babe. I was just thinking about why Bobby was tired."
"He just said why." The girl sitting across from Riley noted as she cut her eggs. She had her silver hair in a sideways ponytail and seemed to be more interested in what was happening on her phone, on which one could spy various skaters.
"Or, maybe he went out and got into trouble again." Another boy suggested with a smirk. He had short hair and a toned, fit form that was barely hidden by his uniform with a cleft chin that jetted from his face and multiple piercing on his face.
"Like what, Terrance?" Bobby said, deciding to indulge his classmate and rival.
"Like maybe sneaking out to help take care of Villains selling a drug and bullets that destroy Quirks."
Terrance had not said that, and the air went silent for a minute as the students turned to see the source of the voice: a woman whose entire body seemed to be made of celestial energy with flowing star-decorated hair, glowing eyes that were like beautiful nebulas, and no mouth.
Equinox also stepped in, now dressed in more casual clothes consisting of a black turtleneck and blue jeans with black dress shoes as he looked to Bobby apologetically.
"I'm sorry, she made me talk..."
"Morning Mrs. Star." The kids said to their teacher, who nodded in recognition before sitting down to a more Western-style breakfast of pancakes, bacon, and coffee.
"Hey, what about me?"
That came from a being with the head of a falcon and the form of a well-built man in a white button-up shirt and tie with black pants. His arms were seemingly decorated with feathers.
"Morning Daddy!" Riley beamed while Brittany shot the man a salute as she munched on an apple.
"That's Mr. Grin on hours, little lady." The man smiled as he messed with his daughter's hair.
"Well, technically you're off hours anyway." Brittany mused. "School doesn't start til 9:00 and it's past midnight back home, so…"
"Loophole abuse. Gotta love them." Said a very well-dressed young man with sparkly clean skin as he and the girl sitting next to him shared a bowl of tofu.
"As long as a villain isn't doing it." The girl who sat closest to the teachers, a brunette with a small bit of her hair in a ponytail atop her head added as she sipped an iced coffee. The students and two male teachers nodded in agreement.
"Speaking of which." Mrs. Star added. "Bobby? See me after breakfast."
"…Yes, mam." Bobby sighed knowingly, picking at the last bits of his meal.
"Told ya." Natalie mused, although there was no cheerfulness in her tone.
MHPP
The shield that Bobby had used (and left behind, he realized) was on the floor of Mrs. Star's room when he entered.
"…How long have you known?"
"Whole time. I just needed to make sure with Ben." She said. "Neither of you noticed a shooting star in all the excitement, I take it?"
Bobby could only cringe. He had not.
"Do you understand the implications and consequences of your actions?"
Bobby looked down at his feet, afraid to meet the eyes of his teacher. Nonetheless, he nodded, making her sigh.
"What you did last night was indeed the right thing to do, I don't deny that. And how you worked with those other boys showcases another important aspect of being a hero; cooperation towards a common goal."
"Hey, go easy on the kid, Michelle!" Equinox said as he stepped inside. "He had a terrible teacher!"
"You should be lucky you were there with him, Benjamin," Michelle said. "But this isn't back home, where he MIGHT have gotten credit. If the police…."
"Look, if it comes to it, I'll take full responsibility," Ben said. "The whole child abuse thing just got my goat is all."
"Deku is going to be the next symbol of peace, he'd do good to have a spotless record," Bobby said firmly.
"He already has a spot with Hero Killer Stain, so nip that thought in the bud," Michelle said before realizing something. "You speak his name with finality and as if you know it."
Bobby gave a light chuckle. "We never met face to face until yesterday. But when we were younger….ah, he probably doesn't even remember; we were pen pals."
"Pen Pals, huh? Never knew you had such far-reaching connections, buddy." Ben smirked as he ruffled Bobby's hair.
"Luckily for you all, the police are rather preoccupied with rounding up the last of Overhaul's associates and producers to press charges on you…and Sir Nighteye has taken responsibility for what happened."
"Hey, I was able to smooth things over with him," Ben said. "It helped his apprentice was with us, so he vouched."
Bobby let out a sigh that seemed to be a mix of relief that no one was going to get in trouble and irritation someone was taking credit for his work.
"I should punish you by making you stay here while the rest go to UA….." Michelle sighed before a gentle and motherly look crossed her eyes. "…But, considering you helped bring down the Eight Precepts of Death, I guess I can bend my own rules this once"
Bobby's eyes widened with delight and hope. "You mean…?"
"Go get your costume and meet us on the bus."
Bobby smiled as moved to do so.
"Oh, and Bobby….?" She let out a smile...At least she could if she had a mouth "She would be very proud of you."
Bobby gave her a light, sad smile as a familiar face entered his mind. As he closed the door, Michelle massaged her forehead.
"That boy will be the death of me." She said to herself. "And yet? I don't seem to mind."
"Ah, that's just how things go sometimes with these kids." Ben chuckled, moving to make sure he was ready for the upcoming day when Michelle grabbed him by the neck.
"NOT SO FAST! Just because Bobby is too young and partly traumatized, doesn't mean you're not getting out of this without an earful!" She frowned. "First off; HOW dare you bring him in on an unsanctioned raid and risk his existence leaking out in Japan! Secondly, you're doing my AND Perry's reports and paperwork for a month!"
"That last one doesn't sound too bad." Ben mused. "Sides, Perry could use some time with Brittany and Riley."
"AND THIRDLY!" Michelle cut him off, smirking as she did so. "I'm telling HER. And when I say 'her', I DON'T mean Cathleen."
Ben whimpered and began to sweat.
MHPP
For UA's Class 1-A, today was certainly shaping up to be different from normal.
Aizawa was dressed like an actual teacher; he wore a suit and was clean-shaven with his hair gelled back
"As some of you are aware, there was a string of dealings involving a Quirk destroying drug." He began, noting the grimace of Eijiro and Izuku's face. "Those have ended since last night thanks to the unsanctioned actions of Midoriya and your upperclassmen, Mirio Togata as well as another person who shall remain anonymous for now and a visiting Pro Hero from the States. And yes, I know about the little girl you saved, you can bring her out now."
Eri tentatively came from behind Mina and gave the teacher a look. Aizawa surprised everyone by smiling at the girl, motioning her to join him and even offering her a cat shaped cookie.
"And now for the real question that's on your minds; the reason I am dressed like this is that we're having visitors from Kirby's School of Heroics back in the States. We'll be hosting the top class and four teachers on equal grounds with the likes of Endeavor, Ryuukyuu, and even All-Might himself.
"Um, Sensei, why the suit?" Mina asked.
"One of those teachers sent me this lovely text…" Aizawa explained as he took out his phone and read it aloud. "Be presentable looking or the whole Internet will learn about it."
Before anyone could ask what 'it' was, the teacher returned.
"Get outside." He said bluntly. "And Izuku? Stay after school. Sir Nighteye wants a word with you, Togata, and the kid who helped you out."
MHPP
The classes stood ready at the hall, Eri staying close to Izuku and Ochako and miraculously not being seen by anyone else.
"I wonder what kind of heroes America has?" Izuku said aloud
"Probably just a bunch of arrogant pricks obsessed with their country." Katsuki grinned. "Can't wait to take them down a notch or two."
"SUCH IGNORANCE!" Tenya shouted, an appalled look on his face. "Kirby has been producing the finest American Heroes since Quirks first started!"
"No need to shout..." Shoto said dryly.
"Iida's right though," Eijirou noted. "John Doe, the Walkers, Falcon, Stars & Stripes….Those are all men and women amount heroes!"
"Yeah! My uncle Elecplant is the #5 Pro Hero there!" Denki excitedly added.
As everyone was talking, Momo seemed to be much quieter than normal, which didn't go unnoticed by little Eri.
"Ms. Momo, are you okay?"
Momo smiled "I'm fine sweetie. Just…wondering and hoping against hope I'll see an old friend of mine. We used to play while our parents did business…but he vanished 8 years ago."
"Was he nice?"
"The nicest boy I'd ever met. And before Izuku, the most dedicated to becoming a hero for the people."
Mina smiled, which Momo caught as she gave the pink-skinned girl a deadpan look.
"No, Ashido. There was no love beyond possible siblinghood. Besides, he had seven rather rambunctious older sisters, I'm pretty sure they turned him gay."
Mina pouted, which only made Ochako, Kyouka, and Tooru grin in amusement.
"Wonder if they'll have cool gear or info on American Heroes looking for sidekicks," Denki noted.
"I heard that they have great sweets." Rikido Sato noted. "Wonder if those'll work with my Quirk."
Minoru Mineta however, was daydreaming about something else.
"Foreign beauties! Uniforms that hide more but let accessories!"
Tsuyu whacked him with her tongue, making him wince as he rubbed the smacked spot.
"Try not to embarrass us."
Suddenly, a dark shine began glowing above everyone as they looked up to see the sky darkening.
"What's going on? Is there an eclipse or something?" Tooru wondered.
"Even better, kids." The 18+ Heroine: Midnight said as she walked up with a smile on her face. "She's on our side...Always has to make an entrance, eh girlfriend?"
Suddenly, the darkness shrouding the sky began creating beautiful nebulas and stars before coalescing together into a humanoid shape and landing down on the ground before rising to its full height.
The woman's entire body was a solid black/purple, excluding her hands, which were white. She had tiny white star-like spots all over her body, giving her the appearance of a starry night sky or the nebulous sea of space. Her eyes were a flowing mixture of orange, pink, blue, and green and lacked pupils. Her hair itself flowed like a traveling comet. colored various beautiful shades of blue, green, and silver. She also had no mouth.
She wore a form-fitting suit that blended well with her starry skin. On her hands were gloves modeled after a bear's head, and she wore a crab on her belt, a scorpion on her left arm, and a fish on her right arm. On her back was a symbol shaped like the head of a bull with goat horns.
"Good morning!" She waved happily, not noticing the shocked looks on the students' faces. "Sorry for the big show kids, just wanted to keep you on your toes."
"MICHELLE!" Midnight shouted as she raced over to the newcomer, who spied her and her face brightened considerably.
"NEMURI!"
The two women hugged each other, laughing as they did so.
"You look amazing!" They said together. "So do you!"
"Say Deku, do you recongize her?" Ochako asked, getting a nod and a response:
"Commander Comet. #4 on the American Heroes chart. Made her name bringing down the Mad Bomber Mason Jingo."
Just then, a honking cut the reunion short.
"Ah, here they are." Michelle mused as the bus pulled up in front of the school. Out of the bus emerged one of the other teachers, a man with a falcon's head.
"Perry Falcon!" Izuku gasped happily. "America's #9 on the Heroes chart, but only because he moves so fast its hard to credit all he does. He's considered the premier rescue focused hero in the USA. He took down the Tornado Tyrant!"
"Okay, kids!" Perry, impressed by Izuku's knowledge of him, shouted. "Time to show what you've got."
Out came a slew of American students, starting with Reggie and Natalie. After them came a girl with green hair in dreadlocks and a recycling badge on her coat's right shoulder
From behind her came a voluptuous young lady with braided blonde hair and sunglasses, who smiled confidently as she walked down the stairs, obviously loving the looks she was getting.
"Sorry boys, I'm taken."
She was accompanied by a girl of Latina descent, with long black hair and blue eyeliner with combat boots with heels. The two held hands lovingly before the blonde pulled her in closer, bopping her on the nose and getting a smile from the girl.
Minoru fainted at the sight as the girls rolled their eyes at this.
Behind the couple came a girl who carried herself with an air of prestige and competence. She walked with a firm demeanor and was reading a book on ballet, which she placed in her purse as she walked down the stairs.
She was followed by a boy who was reading a book on animals. His hair was in a ponytail, and he had a pit helmet (hunting hat) strung behind his neck.
Next stepped out a boy who clearly took pride in his appearance, despite the straight face, He was dressed in a fedora and an overcoat. His eyes were firm and hard, but he wore a gentle smile.
"I have a feeling I'm going to like this Monsieur." Yuuga Aoyama noted.
Right behind him, a love-struck look on her face was a girl with rainbow hair in four pigtails. She had ribbons wrapped around her wrists and ankles and wore high heels.
After her was a girl with tanned skin, munching on a yogurt cup and with her sleeves rolled up, showing an athletic form. She caught sight of Tenya and shot him a wink, making him tense up and blush in confusion.
Next came a boy with short grey hair and a toned, fit form that was barely hidden by his uniform. He had a cleft chin that jetted from his face and multiple piercings on his face.
"Why does he remind me of Crimson Chin from Fairly OddParents?" Hanta Sero whispered to Denki, who shrugged.
After him came a very tired-looking boy, snoring as he got off the bus. Nonetheless, he moved fairly quickly. His hair was unkempt and his posture tired, which offset his almost tap-dancing feet.
Then came a girl with short red hair and a cute little cloud hairpin. She seemed a little younger than the rest of her classmates but carried herself with pride as she stepped off the bus, something as large as her wrapped up and on her back. However, the confidence vanished when she saw the assembled masses, and she dashed behind Brittany, peeking over to see the other students.
"Sis…" The blonde girl smiled affectionately, messing with her hair. Then she realized something, as did Aizawa and Izuku.
"You seem to be short a student and a couple of teachers."
"Oh yeah." Perry realized. "He must have fallen asleep on the ride."
The falcon-headed hero then shot the two sisters a look, focusing on the younger one
"…At least he didn't sleep WITH my baby."
"Wait, they're…" Aizawa started.
"Adopted." Perry cut off. "Well, I…"
"THE FUN HAS ARRIVED!"
Izuku perked up when he saw Equinox step off the bus, dragging the same boy Izuku had met the previous day; tanned skin and spiky hair that seemed to be a mix of black and blonde.
"Thank ye very much!" Equinox finished, shooting some fingerguns while doing his bets Elvis impression.
"Mr. Everyman!" Eri beamed, breaking out of Ochako's arms and dashing to her other savior
"Oh!" The boy said, noticing the little girl as she bounded over to him and hugged his knees. With a gentle smile, he patted her head. "Hi there, Eri. Didn't think I'd be seeing you again so soon. You feeling any better?"
Eri nodded happily, pointing to Class 1-A.
"Mr. Deku brought me to this nice place, made me cocoa, and introduced me to all his friends. They're all really nice and strong…except Mr. Kaachan. He's kind of mean."
"Oy!" Katsuki barked in annoyance, which fuelled many giggles and chortled laughs.
"Wait….Bobby?"
The newest boy looked up and squinted at the speaker of the voice…..A mature-looking young woman with eyes he had seen somewhere before; a girl he had played with growing up.
His face broke into a happy grin as he dashed towards her and took her into a hug which he returned,
"MOMO-CHAN!" Bobby beamed.
"BOBBY!" Momo called out in suit.
The two dashed toward each other and gave the other a hug, sobbing happily as they did so.
No one noticed the cloud-pin girl and Shoto looking at the reunited duo with…..mixed reactions to say the least.
"SHE HAS BOOBS!" The girl thought in terror. "How can I compare to…NO! Don't think that way! You know Bobby's not going after some floozy-Why am I thinking of her like that? She seems as nice as she is pret...NO! Stop that!"
She was then reminded of the hairpin she wore and smiled knowingly at the scene. While still in mid hug, Bobby shot her a look.
"He owes me an explanation." She told herself, right now just enjoying the sight of her boyfriend happily reuniting with this girl. "But…I know it's not the worst thing I can think of."
"She knows him but is still maintaining something of a distance…There is affection between them, but not of the romantic kind." Shoto realized. For some reason, this set him at ease.
Michelle cleared her throat, causing the boy and Momo to stop their hug, but Creati shot him a look that said "Explanation later".
"Since you showed up late, introduce yourself." Michelle ordered, holding Ben back. "Not you."
Ben pouted playfully.
"Yep." The boy smiled, turning to face the classes, spying on his partner. "Hey there Izuku. Good to see you again. The name is Bobby Walker. Hero name; Everyman. Quirkless and proud of it."
….
,.,.
The area was so quiet, a pin beingf dropped would be deafening.
Quirkless?
This boy…was Quirkless?
Izuku was less surprised but, now fully rested and with Eri safe, realized something: This boy was proof he COULD'VE been a hero all along! His dream had always been..!
Izuku put that down; what he was doing now? He was reaching unseen levels of strength and heroism. Besides, All Might and Gran Torino had done so much for him!
He was very interested to meet this boy properly, and he could already see some of his classmates (cough Katsuki cough) where looking at Bobby with confused, angry and intrigued looks.
Suddenly, something overtook the silence; a jet engine. And then a voice:
"LOOK OUT BELOW!"
"Oh yeah, you might all want to take a couple steps back." Riley smirked as she and the Americans all stepped back as a shadown appeared in the space between them and Class 1A. A shadow that grew more and more until
"YAHOOOOOOOOO!"
CRASH!
Between the classes now stood a tall, powerfully bulit woman with blonde hair and a battle costume that looked like the American Flag. She shot the Kirby students a salute before turning to the Japanese youth.
"Sorry for the dynamic entry, kids!" The woman laughed. "Name's Cathleen Bate! #1 Pro Hero of America, Stars & Stripes! And former apprentice of All-Might!"
MHPP
Tomura Shigaraki, apprentice and successor of All For One and leader of the League of Villains, was in a myriad of mixed emotions right now.
He was ecstatic that those Yakuza pricks were out of the way, and was actually happy Eri had been saved. Thoughts of a child being held captive and or ignored didn't suit well with him. It reminded him of his own dark past before All For One found him.
But still, as much as he hated to say it, Overhaul had brought up a good point; what type of organization was the League of Villains supposed to become?
"Incoming message." All For One's doctor, Daruma Ujiko, announced, bringing the young supervillain out of his thoughts. The not-so-good doctor had come on special notice to revive Kenji 'Magne' Hikiishi after her gruesome dismemberment at Overhaul's hands.
"Howdy there, Tomura."
The man on the screen was an older gentleman in expensive-looking cowboy clothes, his face obstructed by shadows but a thick greying mustache could be seen.
"And who the hell are you?"
"Call me Colonel Cash." The man explained. "I used to be good pals with your dear old Sensei…before that blasted brat All-Might came in sticking his nose in our business. Stuck me in this here prison and had my empire given to the masses."
This instantly put Tomura and Kurogiri on edge, along with several of the older members of the League. Why was this fellow reaching out to them? And how was he able to talk with them if he was imprisoned?
"What he didn't know, is that I OWN this here prison and pulled enough strings to get me in this lap of luxury." Cash smiled, having the camera pull back to reveal his cell was like a movie star's dream pad before his face turned serious. "The benefits of having a double life are sadly forgotten in this day and age. But enough of ancient history…For the past week, I've been trying to contact ya. I know what happened to Sensei, and I assure you, I am working to make things change for him and you. That is why, if you're interested….I'd like to propose an Alliance: Your League of Villains…and my Guild."
The veteran villains' eyes widened at the name that had just been dropped.
"Hold on, what's the guild?" Himiko Toga asked.
"THE original Villain organization," Shuichi 'Spinner' Iguchi explained, having done his own research. "Formed during The Great Depression, controlled almost everything in the country. Honestly, a bunch of people are pretty sure at least one of the Presidents was a puppet of theirs. It lasted all the way up until All-Might's first appearance."
"And actually longer." Cash explained. "Just in the shadows, like good old Sensei."
Tomura was shaking in excitement. A bonus! A huge bonus! A free alliance that could help him reach not only his goal of killing All-Might but take the League international? He'd have to be a total noob to turn this down!
"I'd love to chat about that."
"Good to hear." Cash smiled. "Now, since I can't exactly leave here just yet and it's most unprofessional to do nothing but Facetime…My precious granddaughter Puppetress is on her way to meet you along with a few others. She hates All-Might too. Hopefully, you'll get along with her, she is a mighty big fan of your work."
This instantly caught Tomura's interest. Someone noticed HIM and didn't join the League due to Stain's influence getting around? This excited him.
"BUT!" Cash's thundering voice brought the leader of the League out of his daydreams. "You touch my princess, and I'll whip you so silly, you'll WISH All-Might had killed you when he had the chance at the USJ."
And everyone in the room believed it; a First Generation Quirk user did NOT stay alive this long without picking up either major power, resources, or both. Just ask All For One.
"Y'all take care, now. Ya hear?" Cash smirked as he ended the call. As if right on cue, the door was knocked on.
"Come in~!" Jin 'Twice' Bubaigawara sang before switching personalities. "WHO ARE YOU?! AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY BATHROOM?!"
The door opened as a young woman stepped in, her appearance catching Tomura's attention immediately.
She was beautiful, no doubt about that. Long, wavy dark purple-black hair that stretched to the small of her back, with a blue and green tube top dress that hugged her curves perfectly and high heel shoes that screamed 'worth more than most ever make in their lifetimes.' One of her eyes was hidden by her hair, but her one visible one showed someone who had been wronged and was willing to do anything to get what she wanted….provided they were on her terms.
With a sway in her steps, all the male members of the League, and even Himiko, filled her form with appreciative looks. But Tomura could tell she was NOT to be underestimated; the granddaughter of one of Sensei's closest comrades, let alone one who was not above killing family that disappointed him?
Following behind Puppetress were two other villains; a man with a Wild West Cowboy Gunslinging Outlaw motif, complete with two flintlock pistols on his waist and a hunting rifle on his back. The second man dressed in the garbs of an ancient Aztec Warrior complete with Macuahuitl sword, Tecpatl knife, a pair of sickles, and a sun-styled shield.
"I'll have a martini." The girl asked Kurogiri before she sat down. "Extra dry and extra olives. Stirred, not shaken."
"Think you can get me a whiskey on the rocks?" The gunslinger added as he sat down as well. "With a bit of scotch mixed in for flavor."
"Mexican hot chocolate." The Azetec requested. "If not that, a small bit of Spanish wine. Preferably before the current century."
The living shadow nodded and made the drinks as the girl sat beside Tomura, a gentle yet villainous smile on her face.
"Hello, Shigaraki-San. My name is Puppetress, though I bet Grandpa told you that."
"Pleasure to meet ya." Tomura smiled sickly as she shook two of his fingers, but with genuine like clear. To his surprise, his guest seemed to take his odd greeting without any trouble, reaching into her purse and handing him a pair of gloves.
"Anti-Quirk gloves. Wear them and you can touch whatever you want without worry."
"Those things cost a pretty penny." The gunslinger chuckled, shaking his glass slightly.
Tomura took them and saw she was right, shaking her hand and smirking under his father's hand.
"So…I hear you hate All-Might."
"More than anything." She frowned as her drink arrived. "The Symbol of peace, my ass."
She took a big swig of the martini, before pulling out the olives and offering some to her host.
"I'd offer to buy ya a drink," The leader of the League started. "But looks like you got that covered."
"How about I buy YOU a drink…." Puppetress suggested. "And we discuss a partnership over dinner?"
"On me?" The disintegrator asked knowingly.
Kurogiri and Dr. Ujiko looked at the two hero-haters bonding.
"They are going to get along swimmingly."
By the looks of things, Puppetress' bodyguards shared the notion.
Knightmare Lord A/N:
I combined the second and third chapters of the original Pen-Pal story together into one big juicy package! And also expanded on them!
Yup, we're getting Stars & Stripes as a teacher at Kirby in the same vein as All-Might being a teacher at UA! Also, in regards to Star's fate in canon...well, let me just quote something I saw in a fanfic once:
"Canon darted out in front of my car at night and I ran it over. I got out to check and once I saw what it was, I backed up over it and ran it over again."
So yeah, she ain't dying here!
Also, Dr. Garaki/Ujiko has seen fit to bring Magne back to life after Overhaul killed her. Honestly, we felt bad for her and wanted to give her a second chance.
Also, while in the original it was just Puppetress, I decided to include a few extra West-based Villains into the mix. Meet Showdown and Quatal, who are basically expys of Erron Black and Kotal Kahn from Mortal Kombat. And they won't be the last...
Alright, take it away, Mrotrax!
Mrotrax A/N
A fantastic piece as usual, Knightmare Lord! Loved the added bits and the new3 faces especially!
