CHARGED

5-V | TRAINING

Mirror burst out cackling, "If you two don't end up becoming villains, I don't really care! I'm really only in it for the chaos. I could've become a hero, but those dudes are too serious. I swear they all have a stick up their ass.".

The pair of siblings turned to their mentor, staring at her weirdly for a moment before going back to training.

"If you two don't increase your energy reservoirs by the end of the week I'm not training you!", the yellow eye woman called out.

"Yes, Ma'am!", Mya exclaimed.

"Don't call me Ma'am, I'm too young for that! Call me Sensei Mirror.", the woman snickered.

They stalked through the abandoned building, small sparks of purple energy swirled around their hands, lighting the area up for brief moments. He grabbed on to an old metal shelf, hopping up top layer by layer using their enhanced legs. He made his way over to his target location, the direct center, noticing a figure approaching out of the corner of his vision. It was Magma, he could tell from the glowing orange eyes, who was playing the part of a minor villain patrolling their hideout. Mirror was playing the role of, 'the bigwig villain!', or the leader of the faux villain operation. It was a training exercise. Mya had the job of patrolling the area, defeating the small villains silently as Myo made his way to the center and stole the briefcase. Mirror said it'd be filled with socks.

He hopped to the next shelf, slowly approaching the center as quietly as he could, constantly keeping his attention open in case Mirror decided to sneak attack him. They kept their breath quiet, doing their best to minimize quirk usage. His quirk was very flashy, which wasn't great for a stealth mission such as this one, not to mention he had a limited amount of energy. Soon enough, he was on the shelf right before the center shelves, so he hopped down. He would be noticed immediately if he went anywhere closer to the center as there was a light source, indicating its location conveniently, but also ruining the shield of dark. He knelt down, glancing at the briefcase sitting openly on the table, Mirror nowhere in sight. He cursed mentally.

The hair on the back of his neck stood up, signalling them to swiftly dodge. He thankfully avoided the kick targeted at the back of his head, "Nice one, Negative!", Mirror growled in her villain persona voice. She was really in character.

He glared, his eyes flashing purple as he launched himself towards her. He turned his body, punching at her head while simultaneously kicking with the same leg.

Mirror managed to dodge the punch, but didn't notice the kick coming and time and was knocked to the ground. She gritted her teeth, rolling back up into a fighting stance. "Nice one again, Negative."

He glared, noticing a brief spark of cyan in the corner of his eye. He launched himself forwards once more, kicking his leg only to be blocked by the forearm of the woman, hearing a nasty crack that obviously meant it was broken. He didn't really care though. This was training and they had Mya here. "Sorry about that one, Madam Bigwig Villain." He smirked, going in for another kick from the other side, only to instead use the momentum and spin his body, kicking her in the chest with his other leg.

She grunted, sliding into a shelf that made a terrible SCREEEEee as it moved for the first time in 15 years.

Myo, while only having a few months of proper training, had an incredible advantage in sheer physical power and speed. He skidded to a stop a few feet away from the woman who was still trying to get up. Her breath was a bit uneven, did he break a rib? Wait. He had to take note that Mirror was an asshole, completely willing to fake injuries if it meant she could win. She fought dirty and had no mercy. Mirror, the #4 villain in Tokyo, wouldn't go down from just a few hits.

He glared, "Stop faking it.", he gritted out.

She smirked, her yellow eyes lighting up. Myo was confused, she hadn't made skin contact with him. His eyes widened as he heard the scream of a familiar voice, his sister. He clenched his teeth, "You...", he closed his eyes, taking a few breaths. He knew that those illusions couldn't hurt his sister, though Magma probably would restrain her as he now knew her location. It was fine if he failed the mission, it was not fine if he didn't get his sister back as she was a vital figure in everything. He launched himself on top of the shelves, dashing to find his sister. He noticed Magma also on top of the shelves, but he wasn't as close or fast as he was. They launched themselves forwards with a final blast of energy, landing next to his sister as he hugged him. "It's not real, Mya.", he whispered into her ear, "It's Mirror's quirk. You're fine.". He placed her on his back, encouraging her stiff limbs to wrap around him, her breathing was rapid and panicked. Whatever Mya was seeing, it wasn't nice. He leaped up, noticing Magma rushing over. The man used his oversized lava limbs to hurl himself over, a common way to gain extra mobility for him, but to no avail. Myo broke the window with a kick, hopping out along with his sister.

He sighed as he set her on the concrete ground, Magma and Mirror making their way out of the abandoned warehouse. "That was an amazing performance, Myo!", Mirror called out. "You made a good decision in getting your sister out of there and abandoning the briefcase."

He nodded, hugging his sister tightly as she calmed down.

The glow of Mirror's eyes dimmed as she laughed, "I can't believe you broke my arm and a rib! You even noticed I was making it look worse than it was."

He shrugged, "You're an ass.", was all he said.

Magma nodded, "She truly is. Ruthless, too.", he shook his head. "I can't believe you used your quirk on Mya."

The illusionist scoffed, "A villain's gotta do what a villain's gotta do, okay?", flicking her long purple hair behind her back. "You've both come a long way, Myo, Mya." She gave the siblings a thumbs up.

"Mmm... thanks, Mirror.", the white haired girl grinned, sitting up. Her limbs were still a bit shaky. "Those... hallucinations were crazy. It's probably because I had a nightmare last night."

"Ohh!", Mirror exclaimed, "Yeah! I forgot, my quirk is more effective the more scared you are of something at the moment, so the more recent something like a nightmare is, the more powerful.", she smirked. "Psst, Mya, are you up to heal me a bit?"

The girl nodded, standing and stretching her back, "I can heal you some, but definitely not all the way.", she walked over to the older woman, placing her hand on the broken arm. Cyan lightning curled around Mya and Mirror's hand, healing the broken bone. Mya pushed it back in place while it was healing, something Mirror had to grit her teeth for, and sighed when she healed it nearly all the way. "I would heal it all the way but I think a fully healed rib would be better.", she grinned tiredly. Myo approached, granting the girl some of his energy. "Thanks.", she whispered.

He nodded his head, sitting on the ground and starfishing.

"You tired?", Magma asked.

The boy nodded, placing his hand to his mouth as he got hit with a wave of nausea.

A/N: Short chapter, I know. I just think it'd be best if it was all one part. :)
Have a goodnight!
