*******************

Mika and her little helpers had prepared a hearty dinner for our unexpected guests. Fortunately, most of the crew was on different missions and duties, so my school 'chums' only met some of them.

Frejus and Mika were excitedly leading the conversation, asking way too many questions, but strangely enough, it made the four teenagers feel very comfortable. Very soon, the conversation became two-sided, and their initial apprehension of being in a gang head quarter dissipated completely.

Other than Lyra's leftie and righty, three other Lycan's members were sitting at the table with us. Michel, a slightly older guy, and Frejus' very close friend. He was a French guy and part of his surveillance team, one of those capturing my classmates earlier. He didn't live on site but felt guilty about his earlier actions, so he stayed to make amends.

The other two sitting with us were actually the only younger members besides me: Yotun, a twelve years old boy, and Shina, a four-year-old girl.

At one point during the dinner, the unavoidable subject of quirks emerged.

After talking about their own quirks, Kirishima and Midoriya couldn't hold their tongue any longer, and the question they were so difficultly holding back just shot out like water from a broken fire hydrant.

"Would you... Tell us about your quirks, please!" they both had a heavy blush blossoming on their cheeks, feeling embarrassed by their overlapping voices.

Frejus gave the red-haired a solid and friendly pat on the back, causing him to move forward. "Why so shy kids? Of course, we can tell you about our quirks!"

He wore a vivacious smile and was unusually relaxed. For yes, it was his day off, so he was a few various alcoholic drinks ahead. But, unfortunately, he wasn't very good at tolerating any kind of booze, really.

Mika started speaking first. "My quirk is called 'Monitoring.' Basically, I can extend my nervous fibers and connect them to anyone, which enables me to check their health status and organic structure precisely."

She demonstrated by connecting the fibers expanding from her fingers to the ever more rinsed blonde guy. "See! I can tell you with absolute certainty that he has a blood alcohol level of 0,76 g/L !" The four teens were quite impressed by the data accuracy.

The Pinkette also explained Michel's quirk, who had already left by that time. "His quirk is called 'Sleep Inducement,'" Iida linked that information to what happened before in a matter of seconds. "So he's the reason we lost consciousness?"

"Why, yes," Frejus merrily warbled, "Michel is of great help, especially with uncooperative subjects..." He stared at the four with glassy eyes, which made them feel slightly queasy.

I screwed my face into a grimace having to listen to the tall guy's confused confabulation, so I clarified, "Essentially, Michel causes a subject to sleep, determining how deep the sleep is or how long his victim will be sleeping. He similarly can force anyone sleeping to wake up..."

Frejus cast me a half-lidded glare, annoyed by my seriousness. "Yeah, that's exactly what I meant!"

Ochaco sensing a developing strain tried to change the course of the conversation. "So what about the two kids who were eating with us?"
