Powerless - A My Hero Academia/ DC Crossover

Chapter 61: Red Riot

Uraraka and Asui brushed themselves off, getting clear of the debris around them. They had responded to an emergency call while on patrol with Nejire, who had taken them under her wing and recommended a Work Study position with her at the Ryukyu the Dragoon Hero's agency. Two perpetrators with enlargement quirks were making a wreck of the city as they fought each other, but Nejire, Uraraka and Asui made quick work of them, and luckily there were no casualties.

"You guys did great!" Said Nejire happily. "Your teamwork is really incredible. Were you nervous at all?"

"A little," Uraraka admitted.

"I'm just glad I was able to keep calm," Said Asui.

"Don't sell yourself short," Said Ryukyu. "You're both great at this."

"I agree."

The four heroes turned to the sound of the voice behind them. A woman was approaching them. She wore a black one-piece jumpsuit with fishnet stockings covered by knee-high boots, a leather jacket covering her otherwise exposed shoulders, and vibrant blonde hair. Though her Japanese was excellent, she spoke with an American accent.

"Good to see you again, Ryukyu," Said the woman.

"Likewise," Said Ryukyu, bowing cordially. "Everyone, this is Black Canary, a Hero from the Justice League."

Uraraka and Asui did a double take. Nejire hovered around Canary, chatting excitedly about everything she heard about her. ("How does your canary cry work?" "Can you shatter glass with it?").

"You're the Hero Deku's working with," Said Uraraka, staring in awe.

"That's right," Said Canary. "Midoriya told me a lot about you two. Which is why I think you will be perfect to join our operation."

"Operation?" Said Asui.

Ryukyu nodded. "The Arrow and the Nighteye Agency have partnered up on a special assignment, and have asked several other agencies to join them. "

"What's the assignment?" Asked Uraraka.

"A joint investigation and siege of the designated villain group, Shei Hassaikai," Said Canary. "We have reason to believe that they are working with the League of Villains, and they could be our chance to lead us to them."

"The League is back?" Said Uraraka, alarmed.

"Possibly," said Canary. "We're monitoring the situation closely. For now, keep training. We'll be in touch shortly.

"You made me walk in circles underground for 30 minutes like an ant," Said Shigaraki. "I hope you're not wasting my time.

Shagaraki and Chisaki sat across from each other in a conference room, a small coffee table between them. Shigaraki had come alone, and he was surrounded by several of Chisaki's henchmen. Despite this, Shigaraki made no efforts to hide his displeasure as he sat across from his foe. The man had waltzed into his base and murdered one of his closest comrades and wounded another, all the while rudely asserting himself as his master's replacement. It was all he could do to restrain himself from disintegrating Chisaki on the spot. However, his Master had always warned him about hastily dispatching your foes. Even enemies have their uses, he had always said. Chisaki had called him here to talk, so Shigaraki would listen to what he had to say.

For now.

"It is necessary to keep away the prying eyes of the Law, and worse, Heroes," Said Chisaki. "We never know what our guest's intentions are. Even if you managed to kill both of us, it is unlikely you would find your way out of this base before you were found and destroyed." It was as if Chisaki had read Shigaraki's mind, but the latter stayed silent.
