Upon returning to my hotel room I changed out of my hero costume, sighing a sigh of relief I went digging through my stuff looking for something comfortable for the evening to wear when I heard Rue's ringtone making me dive onto the bed I picked up the line.
" Hello love!" I answered
" Really Nixie Grace?!" Rue snapped, making me wince knowing that they saw the broadcast of the UA sports festival.
" I-I don't know what you are talking about..." I lied putting them on speaker
" Oh really? Then why did I see and hear you going nuts for the Japanese version of Harley Fucking Quinn!" They yelled at me and I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose.
" What? You know me Rue, I get competitive." I told them.
" Competitiveness and looking like an obsessed gambler are two different things. What happened to ' no picking favorites, you know that' how the fuck do you explain that?!" They yelled at me.
" Look, you don't know half of the shit I know about the girl, and yes I'll admit I got a little too into it, but it ended up biting me in the ass later." I told them. " It's not that big of a deal, for all Japan knows the pro-hero Water Lily is going home with no intern. It's not important Rue, all that I have to do is get into the league now." I told them.
" Fair point, but Nix you know how dangerous that is." They told me and I sighed,
" I do," I confessed. " I'll be fine, also isn't it like 2 in the morning there? Get some sleep, you know you and the baby need it!" I told them.
" But nix!" They argued.
" No, I don't need my godchild to be like their Baba, go to sleep Rue!" I demand.
" Yes mom." They said then hung up, after they hung up my phone blew up. I recognize the ringtone as my father's, answering the phone I smiled.
" 'ello Daddy!" I chirped.
" Are you decent?" He asked and I quickly got confused.
" Why?" I asked.
" I have an old friend of mine coming by to talk to you about joining the League. He is a villain and broker affiliated with the League of Villains, working to scout new recruits for their organization." My Dad told me and I sighed, absorbing a pair of sweatpants and an oversized hoodie.
" How much time do I have?" I asked him.
" Not much. I have some basic info to give to you about him. He's known as Giran, and is one of the best brokers, play your cards right and he can get you into the league Nix. I know that they are desperate for recruits since the USJ incident." My dad told me as I began shifting into the persona that I wanted to be for this mission.
" Hey dad before you go. I have a quick question." I said and I heard him hum in response. " Have you ever heard of the Shigaraki Family?" I asked.
" Not personally, but they were getting some big name when I was a young Villain. I knew of a pair of brothers that made huge news before I met your mother. One of them could take quirks from others and make a monstrous combination, the other one was quirkless... It's lost about what happened to the two but I know that the younger brother did die before he was 50." My dad told me. " Why do you ask?"
" I met a pair of twins with the last name. A girl and a b-" Before I could finish I heard a knock at my door.
" That's him. Good luck Nix." My dad said before hanging up. Sighing I walked over to the door opening it. I was greeted with a man with gray hair and pink eyes.
