We always have a funny way of ending up in the positions we do. After all, no one knows their destiny, everyone only assumes the purpose of the current moment as fate. Did I believe I'd be making a deal with a hero? No. This evening will bring forth a change given what was this morning.


[Flashback to after the escape]


Walking along the roof with Nagant. We hadn't said a word only nodding to one another as we make our way towards the other roof. Jumping down to it, traversing to the inside stairwell.

Me: "So you saw the piece I left."

Nagant: "Obviously."

Me: "Surprised you came."

Nagant: "Not surprised I found you?"

Me: (Looks back at her) "Would you be in my situation?"

Nagant: "No. But this was just repaying the favor, nothing else."

Me: "Are you willing to ever exchange favors again in the future?"

Nagant: "Maybe..."

Finally reaching the bottom floor, we exited out the back of the building. Taking sperate ways with a nod. Reminded me of a solider who helped me escape a compound a long time ago by being a distraction. Albeit, she's much more attractive than special forces, she has the same demeanor. Time to make my way towards UA. I need to scout my future location.


[An hour before the meeting]


Staring at the great wall of UA. A dream in it of itself to be here. The gate of which many great heroes have walked and come from. Always wondered what people would think if they started rehabbing villains. As much as this country loves the notion, they think prison will do it. Peculiar but understandable thought process. 

Me: "I always wondered what it'd be like to go here..."

Majima: "Why don't you?"

I turn around to see an average man with spikey hair covering his face.

Majima: "Interesting helmet you got there. Custom?"

Me: (Chuckles) "I doubt it... I might wish upon a star, but doesn't mean it'll come true..."

Majima: "You never know. I mean it's not as if you're a criminal are you." (Laughs and slaps his knee)

Me: "Not to say it's my proudest moment... but technically I am..."

Majima: (Stops laughing and deadpans) "Oh... sorry. I didn't mean to-"

Me: "All good." (Holds hand up) "Promise, I just want you to understand my thoughts if you're keen to ask." 

Majima: "You steal somethin' or..."

Me: "Both... sadly..." (Hangs head) "And I never really atoned."

Majima: (Starts getting on edge) "Are you plannin' to do it again?"

Me: "If you're a hero, then no." (Laughs once)

Majima: "Well... let us say I am not."

Me: "I don't know why I am even here opening up to a complete stranger..."

Majima: "Probably won't see me again, and I'll make a deal with ya, I won't tell the cops."

Me: "Alright then. There's someone who deserves their just deserts for helping to destroy my life."
