UEIS Prison

Chiba, Japan

Lady Nagant can be seen sitting on the chair with a resigned look. She has decided to accept her fate, especially after everything.

Even if she tried to escape, it was hopeless. Gang Orca isn't a normal hero by any means, and learning the fact that the man knows what magic is and was able to learn it shows how powerful and outclassed she is. Other heroes in the headquarters are as strong as Gang Orca.

In short, if she tries to escape, she's fucked.

'No matter, I didn't want to escape anyways.' Lady Nagant thought. 'If getting caught is the way to get me out of HPSC's influences, I rather do it.'

Suddenly, she heard a footstep and to her surprise, she saw Gang Orca in front of the prison door. She regains her composure before she looks at him.

"Hello, Gang Orca." Lady Nagant greets as Gang Orca stares at her.

"...it's been a while, hasn't it, Kaina?" Gang Orca asked sadly.

"Don't do that..." Lady Nagant mutters.

"Do what?" Gang Orca asks in genuine confusion.

"...pity me. I don't want it...I don't deserve it..." Lady Nagant said. "What do you want? I doubt you do this just for a regular visit."

"...I want to see the person Rumi loves to call 'Gun Nerd'." Gang Orca said as Nagant looked flustered at that nickname.

"...that person is long dead..." Lady Nagant said while looking away.

"Is that so?" Gang Orca said before he took a chair and sat down. "Rumi held you in high regards, saying that you, and I quote 'the only girl who didn't bitch over everything and kick some serious ass'." This causes Lady Nagant to groan at the words.

"Did she have to say that?" Lady Nagant asked. "And how did you know all of those!?"

"Rumi has zero alcohol tolerance. Let her sip one cup and she won't stop talking." Lady Nagant chuckles sadly before looking down.

"...what is the point of telling me this?" Lady Nagant asked.

"...I want you to work with us." Gang Orca admits, much to Lady Nagant's surprise before she scoffs and looks away.

"Why am I not surprised?" Lady Nagant mutters.

"I'm not planning to force you." Gang Orca added. "But, it will be nice to have more manpower."

"...why me?" Lady Nagant asked. "You know what I've done...Let me die...let me rot in here..."

"...dying won't solve the problem here." Gang Orca said. "I know what you did. I know what HPSC has force you to do. I know you killed the previous HPSC, but not in an act of villainous rebellion. You did it because you had enough of his orders."

"Stop..." Lady Nagant looks away.

"You didn't resist arrest because of your guilt. You saw yourself as a monster who deserves to die." Gang Orca adds. "And you feel angry, angry that even being in prison, you can't escape from HPSC's grip. You have no choice but to accept what the HPSC orders you because you're their prisoners."

"Stop..." Lady Nagant growls under her breath.

"Even if you didn't want to, you can't defy HPSC's order, because you believe that they're the only one who can control a monster. You have no choice but to comply, believing that a monster like you doesn't deserve freedom, despite your displeasure to work under them." Gang Orca added.

"Stop!" Lady Nagant snaps at him as she slams the wall. "Stop..."

"...if you truly want to escape from their grip, help us. Help us take down HPSC, to stop them from claiming another victim, stop them from going through the same pain you went through." Gang Orca says. "Or do you wish to left the world with HPSC so they could create another Lady Nagant? Or did you believe yourself as monster so much you didn't consider the possibility?"

This made Lady Nagant freeze before looking at Gang Orca. She never thought about the possibility of HPSC creating a second Nagant. No, she did consider it, as Hawks was the proof of it. She just refused to believe it. She always thought about herself to even think about others who might suffer like her.

"...G-god..." Lady Nagant broke down, covering her mouth as she started to tear down. "I...I'm such a selfish bitch...I...I didn't think about the possibilities...of other children turns like me..."

Gang Orca remains silent as he lets Nagant weep. He can't blame her for doing so. Years of being buried under their guilt to the point of not noticing anything other than their guilt.

"...Lady Nagant..." Gang Orca said softly, getting her attention. "HPSC won't stop crossing the gray area if no one stops them...more heroes and villains could've unnecessarily died...more children could've suffered... Let me ask you one more time...will you be willing to lend us a hand...to stop them?"

"..." Lady Nagant stares at Gang Orca before she looks at her hand. The nightmare of her hand covered in blood and surrounded by dead bodies starts to play in her mind. She closes her eyes before focusing back on reality, thinking about all the HPSC victims.

"...I still believe that I'm an unredeemable monster..." Lady Nagant says. "But...you're right...I'm not the only victim here...and the numbers will keep increasing if HPSC were not stopped." She looks at him. "Use me...use me to take them down..."

"...I don't believe in using others." Gang Orca said as he started to glow gold and the door was open, surprising Nagant as Gang Orca took a step forward and extended his hand. "I believe in comrades."

"..." Lady Nagant sighs before taking his hand. "Call me Kaina...Lady Nagant's a name made by HPSC..."

"Very well." Gang Orca said before looking at the prison next to her. "I plan to visit your ex-boyfriend to extract some informations he could offer. Any idea we could use?"

"He's a drug addict, and his preferred drug is black tar heroin." Kaina said. "Now that he's limbless, made sure to put that thing several feet away from him and put him on a treadmile, let him desperately crawls towards the drug. He'll definitely broke."

"..." Gang Orca was somewhat pale at how Kaina nonchalantly suggested a torture method for her ex-boyfriend.

"Umm, too much?" Kaina asked in a sheepish tone. Gang Orca snaps out of his thoughts before shaking his head.

"No, no. I-it's a good idea..." Gang Orca said as he scratched his head, trying to look away from Kaina.

With Izuku

Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall

Tokyo, Japan

"Is it really alright for me to come?" Eijirou asked nervously as he and his little brother walked alongside Izuku and Inko.

"Of course!" Inko said with a smile. "I brought you here just for you two and Izuku's new girlfriend."

"Mom! She's my friend, that just happens to be a girl!" Izuku exclaims as his face turns red, earning a laugh from Inko and the Kirishima brothers.

"So, Eijirou-kun. How are you at home?" Inko asks as Eijirou rubs his head nervously.

"I-it's fine. Trying to catch up with my studies and prepare for the UA entrance exam. While also taking care of Kousuke here." Eijirou said while rubbing his little brother's hair, earning a giggle from him.

"That's nice, but what about your parents?" Inko asks as Eijirou looks down and Kousuke stops giggling. "O-oh dear, I'm sorry..."

"I-it's okay," Eijirou says awkwardly. "I thought Izu-bro has told you."

"I...didn't tell her because I don't know if you want others to know. It's...a sensitive topic, you know..." Izuku said as Eijirou waved it off.

"Nah, I get it, bro," Eijirou says.

"Are...you truly alright at your home?" Inko asks as Izuku hiss.

"Mom..." Izuku says.

"We're fine, we're fine." Eijirou waves it off.

"You can move in with us," Inko says.

"W-we're fine!" Eijirou exclaims as Inko looks at him before looking at Izuku.

"Mom...let them choose on their own..." Izuku sighs as Inko reluctantly agrees. "And let's not discuss about it. How about we talk about what we would like to buy here?"

"What about your girlfriend?" Eijirou asked teasingly as Izuku slapped his head with his face bright red.

"Shut it, you stupid cat!" Izuku said as Eijirou laughed.

"Hey, Midoriya-! Oh!" They turned around and saw Ochako looking at them in surprise. "I...didn't expect you're not alone."

"I-it's mom's idea. She wants to meet with my friends and she comes up with this idea." Izuku said as Ochako simply nodded. "Guys, this is Ochako Uraraka, the girl I saved from being robbed. And Uraraka, this is my mom."

"Hello, dear. It's nice to meet you." Inko said as Ochako nodded with a smile.

"Nice to meet you too, Ms. Midoriya." Ochako greets.

"This black/red-haired dude over here is Eijirou Kirishima, the idiot I mention multiple times-!" Izuku points at said dude.

"Hey!" Eijirou exclaims as Ochako giggles a bit. "Hi, anyways."

"Hi," Ochako said.

"And that's his little brother, Kousuke." Izuku points at the little guy who waves with a big smile.

"Hello!" Kousuke greets as Ochako giggles.

"He's so cute," Ochako said before looking at Izuku. "So, you don't have an internship today?"

"Just got back. Mom decided to ask me to invite you and Kirishimas to go to the mall." Izuku said as Inko nods. "You don't mind, right?"

"Nope," Ochako said with a big smile. "This may be unexpected, but I don't mind."

"Great." Izuku said with a big smile. Unknown to them, the others smile slyly while glancing at Izuku.
