Meetings

Estelle gazed at the commission's board with stern eyes as they debated around her. The people were still wary of the situation, and their fear continued to spike with continued spirit sightings around Japan. Estelle was doing all she could to manage the problem now, but there was only so much she could do.

The commission was getting angsty about the lack of progress, but the main reason they had called her was because of Hawks. That damn hero.

Apparently, he was working as a double agent for the commission, so it was a surprise when they found out Estelle had met with the league of villains and had not informed Mr Aizawa of the encounter. Her action had caused them to doubt her once again, and it was only when Estelle explained that telling Mr Aizawa about the number two hero casually strolling into the room full of villains would have caused chaos.

They relaxed after that, realising she was right. If Estelle had informed Mr Aizawa about Hawks, their secret spy would no longer be a covert mission. And, it could have caused a leak. Estelle was still processing the fact that Hawks was an undercover agent at all.

When she had seen him walk into the room, Estelle was so done with this world she was ready to ask Dabi to end it right there and then. She was glad she waited at least; this was much better than having to worry if all heroes were just flukes.

Actually, now that she thought about it. If there was someone strong enough with a well together message, the actual heroes would be fucked. Shaking her thoughts away, Estelle had to remind herself that this wasn't her problem.

Why was she thinking like this? This topic didn't matter to her at all; it wasn't her problem. She just needed to focus on her mission. Everything else could wait.

So, here she was, gazing at the commission as they prodded her for the information on Nabu island. The shock was evident on their faces as they realised what this meant. "So, you're telling me that the man in a red cloak is actually a dark spirit? How is that possible?"

"I don't know. Old folk stories of light spirits going dark after experiencing trauma have been told. I can only guess that's what happened here. The fact that this individual has managed to keep his sanity in the process is perilous, and he probably has a lot more in store for us."

"I see. Still, this is shocking. We had seen what Aite had managed to do - and he had turned dark himself. We'll need to proceed with caution. In the meantime, you mentioned you have the blueprints for your device?"

"I do. I would suggest putting the devices in populated areas. I had requested the support course to create a larger device to cover a wide spread of land so you won't need to produce a lot. Issue out a statement that the people will need to exit the area if it rings. Other than that, it's connected to my device, so I will be able to arrive as swiftly as possible."

"You have done well. We will have these issued immediately. Was there anything else you needed to mention?"

"That's all for now."

"We will see you soon then."

-_-

Estelle was lying on the couch, her eyes gazing onto the ceiling, when the door slammed open. Keeping her stare on the tiles, Estelle could hear the rustling of the classmates and their bags as they strolled into Heights Alliance.

They were back.

Smirking slightly when they started to joyfully shout her name, Estelle turned her head to face the new arrivals. "No need to shout, I'm right here, y'know? Welcome back."

With wide beams, most of the students chirped their hello's as they shuffled further into the room. Furrowing her brows, she could feel the tangible happiness surrounding them.
