Wilson: "alright kid...pretty much that's all i can teach you for now...you'd best on scurry home" and she nods 
eri: "oh by the way did you managed to get what i requested?" curious 
Wilson: "oh yeah easy to find honestly...hold up" reaching below the counter he brings out a couple small cans....
Eri: "how much?" 
Wilson: "you can take em kid...don't tell anyone...i'm not running a charity here" 
Eri: "thank you Mr Wilson" 
Wilson: "enough with the mister kid..making me feel old" 
Eri: "but...aren't you?" 
Wilson: ".........you can really make a man break huh kid" 
Eri: "Sorry" 
Wilson: "don't worry about..i just want to know why you want" 
Eri: "Cat food?" 
Wilson: "yeah..why is that?...you know animals don't live here at Nightcity" 
Eri: "i just...i just want to test something...that's all" 
Wilson: "is it a way to make cat food a type of emergency ration?" 
Eri: "ew no" 
Wilson: "or are you going to prank Battlefist by putting it in her food?" and she giggles 
Eri: "No...though it's tempting" 
Wilson: "I placed the seed of temptation..well come on tell me what do you need it for?" 
Eri: "it may sound stupid..but" 
Wilson: "kid listen...i've heard a lot of things in my life...and i'm pretty certain that whatever your using this for is not stupid..or moronic..or idiot...maybe childish" 
Eri: "Wilson....i...thought i saw something scurrying around the dump..over where my dads apartments near...right about there" pointing to the corner 
Wilson: "oh right..saw someone was about to get stabbed there before...hmm" 
Eri: "i just want to see what it is..and i'm going to try and lure it out" 
Wilson: "with catfood" 
Eri: "it's the closest thing to 'food' i could find for an animal possibly 
Wilson: "true...true" as she leaves she heads to the spot where she spot a little critter...or cat...she thinks...searching the small pile of junk she managed to find a decently clean plate to use...she opens up the can and now pours it on the plate...and leaves it there...now she over the small ledge and peeks over...and waits..and waits...and waits............and waits....to see if this was true or not...and she was starting to get bored...pretending her hand was a gun..making some small noises...after another half hour she just lays on the ledge and just blows air and stares at the ceiling...deadpanning...then she heard a noise and she falls over now being quiet..and she peeks over the small wall there...and looks at the corner..to see an opening in the vents and there she saw it 
Eri: "*gasp*" quietly trying not to make a sound...then she hears it 
*Meow* 
Eri: "it's true" so the rumors of a cat sighting is true..she found it...the little hairless thing was slowly walking up to the plate..and soon starts eating..and oh my god she could literally die from the adorable sounds it makes while eating..it's so cute! 
Eri: "aww" and it perks its ears up and looks around...and sees eri now and the cat now hisses
Eri: "ksksksksksks....it's alright...i'm not going to hurt you" and she sits down a good distance from it as the cat now continues eating...still staring at Eri she lays down and holds her head up with her hands...feet in the air..
Eri: "i could just watch this all day" soon she puts her hand out a little..and slowly gets a little closer...which caused the cat to back up for a moment 
Eri: "ksksks i'm friendly..it's alright" and she just sits there and the cat goes back to eating...so that's when she gets a little closer...and she reaches out her hand...the cat looking up now curiously...felt her hand pet him...
Eri: "so weird" knowing the feeling is odd...but...she likes the reaction...now this cat turned on it's motor and purrs 
Eri: "aww" and rubs its head on her hand...pleased with the gesture...
Eri: "i'm going to name you...hmm...maybe Dekiru maybe?" and the cat kept purring and she soon...picks it up...she giggles
Eri: "wonder how dads doing?" worried for him for some reason 

Izuku after the show kept to himself from the rest of the crowd...he saw both Jackie and V past on by 
Izuku: "don't tell me...shit" this is the place where they're going to do the heist...why is he so stupid...and recently can't fucking find a piece of info of Overhauls whereabouts..he doesn't get it at all...now he's in a bind for time..and he taps into their comms...whoever their netrunner is...they seemed to be an expert..but not enough for him and his team...right now he needs to get them out of here...changing out of the dress he changes back to his gear once more...this time it's for close combat...only having a tactical shotgun and his hand cannon...equipped with a couple flash grenades and some threat detectors he goes towards the elevators..where the rest of the heroes and NCPD are...Max-tac are there but they're patrolling the area currently...and they received a call from  an anonymous helper 
???: "heard you just Mr welles and V right?" 
Izuku :"and who is this?" 
???: "ah ah ah you don't get to ask the questions...you see we care deeply about Miss Melissas safety..but you should note someone else is here..someone you very well know...you'll know when you see him" then hangs up 
Izuku: "what the fuck?" and through the radio 
Stross: "you need us to track it down?"
Tanner: "can't the fucking call came through caps phoneline..being a separate device and the cyberware isn't public..it's impossible to get through it" 
Izuku: "bring in our netrunner..she should be helpful" 
Stross: "got it sir" 
Izuku: "goddamn it" and he now runs out of the backrooms and goes into the lobby.and he runs to the attendant and a couple of the shield guards 
Izuku: "put in a lockdown and tell everyone to stay in their rooms and where they are!" 
"what's going on sir!?" 
Izuku: "just trust me" and they go do what they are told now...as he continues to run to the elevator he is stopped by someone 
"excuse me Mr  Johnny?" and he turns to see a blond haired woman..her glasses and formal dress...with the shield pin on her...oh boy...
Izuku: "yes?" 
"hi my name is Melissa Shield..and i was hoping if you could answer a few questions for me?" smilign 
Izuku: "i believe" he paused for a moment and looked at the message...and the time...he looks at her 
Izuku: "sure...why not" and she smiles now 
Melissa: "oh not here though..um i have the penthouse suite...please " and they get in the elevator 
Izuku: "alright...shoot" 
Melissa: "okay..uh first question...is it true that you don't have cyberware at all?" 
Izuku: "yes" 
Melissa: "wow...and is it also true you don't have a quirk?" 
Izuku: "yes" looking around 
Melissa; "that is so impressive Johnny...you see the reason why i'm asking..it's because...i'm quirkless as well" so that's when he kinda lets his temper cool a little...but then again this is the daughter of the most famous support tech that started Cyberware...bullshit 
Izuku: "Really...i didn't know that" 
Melissa: "yeah..but another one i want to ask...oh we're here" seeing the elevator doors open...soon he sort of froze...for in front of him...
"Johnny" the mechanical sounding voice and the deep reverbs in that fucking thing 
Izuku: "Smasher" Adam Smasher...the highest ranking and most successful combat machine that has an installed human brain..who the brain belongs to is apparently classified...as they both pass each other Izuku just brushes by but Adam just chuckles 
Adam: "you have new cut of fuckable meat don't you johnny boy...sooner or later she'll be dead because of you" and he takes the elevator down...trying to get to him...and he just glares 
Melissa: "um...mr Johnny?" and he snaps out of it and he smiles 
Izuku: "apologies lets continue shall we?" and they both sat down in front of the very large TV and he sees all the security in it...and she pours some wine the light up table and everything 
Melissa: "so i was wondering if you are willing to accept a certain proposal...you see i've been currently studying the idea of Immortality...using the cyberware" 
Izuku: "Save your soul...that whole thing you have going on" and she nods Melissa
Melissa: "correct..and since then...the ways and morale of heroes have been declining since the war of AFO and Shigaraki...when the current Symbol of peace killed them...and i think you know what i'm getting at" 
Izuku: "I may have an idea" 
Melissa: "Heroes are overdue for a change...with everything going on..every scandal, every crime, that have been leaked for the past 10 years...it's time to change it..time to...end the hero era...which is why i have been going into the idea...of cloning" and he then stops for moment..and he takes another drink 
Izuku: "go on" 
Melissa: "the program is a prototype daemon we have recently discovered...and it's called soulkiller" and that's when Izuku chokes on his drink now 
Melissa: "are you okay?!" 
Izuku: "it's fine..it's fine" 
Melissa: "i'm guessing you know what it is?" 
Izuku: "know...i fucking worked the case on retrieving the item from an ambushed that stole Shield convoy" 
Melissa: "i know...the testing so far has been...difficult, the daemon would work..but it ends in killing the original host...frying their brain,  while a complete copy is right there in our hands...this discovery..will further improve our chances as a race..to survive even the cruel event that may yet to come" 
Izuku: "where is this prototype then...knowing you i'm assuming you wouldn't let out of your sight correct?" 
Melissa: "it's currently with one of our other associate here...course he is in a leash right now...but i assure you that it's in good hands" 
Izuku: "really" taking another sip...and he stands up...now more concerned...this was a waste of his time...she only asked simple questions..why
Melissa: "I know who you are...Izuku Midoriya" and now it was his turn to take out his gun and point it at her...while the guards shout at him she holds her hands up 
Melissa: "stand down...that is a direct order" and he kept looking at her 
Izuku: "how do you know me" 
Melissa: "I know you are the lost and assumed dead brother of Izumi Yagi...the symbol of peace...i know that since you were six you have been living here all your life...i know....you are the one...who created the cyberware...through your journals...through your descriptions...through your childhood notebooks you would keep...you are the one..that started it all" 
Izuku: "quite the claim...care to back it up" 
Melissa: "guards...leave us" and they obeyed...as they exit the room...now he holsters his gun 
Izuku: "talk" 
Melissa: "you see for the past years...Izumi and her friends have been going after a pointless objective...seeing how much of the budget she has put in for the search...and other corporations are starting to catch up...Kang Tao..Bio-technica, Militech, Zetatech, and of course...Night corp" 
Izuku: "you forgot about petrochem" 
Melissa: "right...all i'm saying...is that you should be producing them again...you can perfect soulkiller..to where we could not just create one..but countless copies of a person...like you" 
Izuku: "Me" 
Melissa: "they say that a quirkless isn't useful even with all the cyberware in the world...but you..you are the one that did..all of this!...you are what no one would ever expect" 
Izuku: "same goes to you." 
Melissa: "i thank you for the compliment...but look...all i want to say is" soon the room goes dark and the alarms are blaring loudly 
Melissa: "the bio chip!" and she sees the alert on her optimizer 
Izuku looks to the left to see the AV stop in front of them 
Tanner: "GET IN CAP!" and more of the shield guards come in 
Melissa: "wait Johnny" 
Izuku: "get her out of here pronto!" and they nod as he jumps in the AV now...flying up and he gets his SOR-22 ready up 
Izuku: "what's the situation?"
Stross: "Enji Todoroki aka Endeavor is dead!...Murphy founded a netrunner and managed to terminate her!" 
Izuku: "I see...head up!" and they ascended up towards the penthouse suite...and soon he sees them...
Stross: OVER THERE!!" and now he aims and he was in disbelief...Jackie and V...are there and they have a metal suitcase more so...the prototype so Izuku takes aim and Stross uses the intercome on the AV 
Stross: "NCPD SURRENDER NOW!!"  and they said something to each other and soon they then jump as Stross fires the AV weapons Izuku then had no choice...but took the shot as they plummet into the ceiling below  
Izuku: "fuck" he knows that he doesn't miss...out of instinct...who he hit he doesn't know...fuck 
Kendo: "Johnny i'm on the way!...me and the others are escorting the other ceos out of the area!" he takes his ear piece off and he throws it away...he jumps off at the penthouse suite and runs  in...to see..
Izuku: "Touya" looking at the former LOV member..standing over his dead father...
Touya: "you" looking at him...knowing him..he probably doesn't remember 
Izuku: "what happened?" 
Touya: "so much for the apex predator of the NCPD...and yet...you have failed in protecting one of the founders..of Cyberware..." 
Izuku: "with all due respect sir..i was not aware that he was going to be here at all..until i got the announcement..my only task was to protect Melissa Shield" 
Touya: "pathetic...know this...i will not let this go...Max-tac pig" and Adam enters 
Adam: "the intruders are located in the lobby" 
Touya: "you know what to do" and he walks out again...
Izuku stays silent 
Touya: "and for you...the NCPD needs someone to blame..i think you wouldn't mind taking the honors of retaining their reputation correct?" this time he wanted to shoot him himself...clenching his grips on the handle of his rifle...and he kept a straight face 
Izuku: "no sir..it would be an honor" they got what they wanted...they fucking did it..corruption fucked him in the ass once more...all because of some amateur merc and netrunner...possibly killing Endeavor...
