My Hero Academia: The Next Generation Book 3

Chapter 9: Shadows

  ~~{Nosido Heraki's POV}~~

    "Mm..." I would hear the sound of some whirring, huffing a bit. I'd soon slowly lift my head as I struggled to get my crusted eyes open, listening to the sound more. I'd realize that it wasn't whirring. But my phone vibrating on the nightstand, letting out a bit of a groan. I'd glance over my shoulder and see Suraki still sound asleep. Smiling faintly before I slowly got his arm unwrapped from me, I'd carefully sit up to try and not wake him. Reaching and grabbing my phone, yawning as I glanced at the contact name. Letting out a huff as I saw who it was. What does he want... answering the call, I'd yawn a bit before bringing my phone up to my ear. "What's up Shigraki..."

  "Took you long enough to answer, where are you right now?"

   "At home, why."

   "We have some buisness to tend to, think you can accompany me? You are my protégé after all." I would huff as he mentioned business, rubbing my head before glancing over my shoulder to see Suraki starting to wake up.

   "Sure I guess... I'll be there soon, I just need to get ready." 

   "Don't keep me waiting too long, we'll meet down at the docks." He would then hang up, hanging up on my end as well. I would soon sigh and glance back at Suraki. 

   "I gotta go... Don't know how long it'll be so make yourself at home, okay?" Suraki would glance at me, his mouth opening for a moment to question before he realized probably from the look on my face. Nodding slightly before he leaned over to kiss me gently.

   "Alright... Be careful okay? You have enough scars as is."

   "Eh... what's a few more." He would frown a bit, but he knew I was mostly joking. Getting up, i'd head over to my dresser to get some underwear, shorts, and a shirt on. Then I would head over by the door and grab my trenchcoat off the cook and slip it on. Turning to look at Suraki again, i'd smile and wave slightly before warping away. Reappearing just outside the entrance to the docks of the city as I would groan and hold my stomach. "Ogh... fuck... Doing that myself makes me sick..."

   I would take a moment to get my composure back together for a moment before huffing. Tucking my hands into my pockets as I started to walk through the dockyard, glancing around to try and spot where Shigaraki was specifically. Mumbling a bit. "Fuck, I hope this is the right dockyard.... You're not very descript boss..." I let out a sigh, running my hand through my hair before I eventually spotted the crusty bastard outside a warehouse. He was scrolling on his phone and seemingly texting a bit, though his gaze soon shifted to me when he noticed my approach, sliding his phone into his pocket.

   "You got here quick."

   "Well you're not the only one who can warp now. So, what are we doing here?"

   "It's a surprise, come." He would nod for me to follow as he went up to the door of the warehouse, pulling out some keys and unlocking it before opening up the door. "Before you asked, bribed the foreman to give us a warehouse."

   "Fair enough." I would then glance around before ducking into the warehouse, it was very dark. So much so that I could barely see, but Shigaraki would soon follow behind me. Closing the door while he did before I heard him flip some switches as the place lit up. Revealing loads of machinery, monitors, desks, all sorts of shit. Looking like another homebase of sorts as I tilted my head a bit. He would eventually gesture for me to follow as he took the lead, following him to the very back corner of the warehouse, he'd move some hospital curtains to reveal another machine. But this one was different, almost seeming like some sort of fabricator or something.

   "I think it's time you started to get your own style going. The trench coat is good, but is sorta my thing. The doc whipped this up as a gift to you once you started to get more accustomed to being on the right side of this fight."
