Warning: Blood because of Stain


A few days later, during the internship, Tomura had called for me. Apparently Stain was going to meet with Shigaraki and take us to Hosu. I don't see why I had to go but Tomura insisted he needed a healer if Stain stabbed him again.

Being said, I got warped into the bar and Tomura had a set of clothes for me picked out along with a black long wig.

"So this is Hosu." Tomura rasped as he, Stain and I stepped out of Kurogiri's portal. "Livelier than I thought."

"I will reform this town. But for that... more sacrifices are needed." Stain spoke.

I simply watched them talk. Standing nearby I eyed them carefully. Tomura even seemed wary towards Stain. He probably learned his lesson for being a brat.

"Hero is a title reserved for those who perform truly great feats. Too many are underserving... just money worshippers playing hero!" Stain added, "Until this society wakes up and corrects itself... I will continue my work."

He jumped off and left us. Tomura sighed annoyed as I crossed my arms. "It's almost too precious how hard he's trying."

"You shouldn't criticize him too much." Kurogiri scolded Tomura as I chuckled, "Actually the cities he's appeared in have all seen across the board drops in the crime rate. Some think it's tied to an increase in hero awareness."

I rolled my eyes. "He's such an All Might fan..."

"Well that's great! So much for putting a stop to heroism!" Tomura mockingly spoke, "Hero killer? More like hero breeder. At least indirectly." He sighed, "I knew it... were just too different deep down. Pisses me off."

"Well it was expected if he killed heroes who were after money and fame." I told Tomura with snide, "You were wrong on judgement."

"Shut up." He bitterly told me as I stuck my tongue out at him, but he immediately shut me down by ordering Kurogiri to... "Bring out the Nomu. As if I'll let him get away with stabbing me like this. If he wants to go on a rampage we'll let him. Which one of us will cause more destruction, let's see." He chuckled maliciously.

I simply sighed. Tomura's being as immature as ever. But what did I expect? He never changes.

"I'll crush your pride and dignity Stain..." he cackled as he let the Nomu run free.

Seeing the Nomu pass by me, I felt a sudden guilt. Innocent people will get hurt. Yet... this is part of the plan. I can't interfere. It's for a good cause. Yes...

Almost like an alarm, I received a text message from Shoto saying he was looking for me. We were getting ready to go to... HOSU?!?!

"Kurogiri can you teleport me back?" I asked with uneasiness as I took off the fake wig.

"Why?" Tomura asked annoyed, "The fun is about to begin."

"I need to keep my undercover work on track." I vaguely explained to which Tomura agreed and told Kurogiri to warp me back.

I barely had any time to change back into my hero costume when there was a knock. I told Shoto to wait a bit as I rushed to the door. Opening it Shoto began to ask if I had seen his message.

Nodding I continued, "Why Hosu?" I asked Shoto trying to sound nonchalantly, "I thought we were just going to stick to patrolling and training."

Shoto walked beside me and explained, "I thought so too but he said it was something last minute, regarding Nomu being set out free in the city."
