My Hero Academia: Fallen Angel (Hawks Love Story)

Child and Plans

The next day, Nīsan gave me a new task. "Send Kuro out to spy on the Shie Hassaikai. Find out everything you can about the yakuza boy and his organization. In the meantime, I'll gather everyone for another meeting. We'll come up with a plan once she's returned with the results." He told me, and I did as ordered.

~Kuro's pov~

It took me a while to find Overhaul's hideout. It was near the evening when I did, the sun setting as I arrived at a normal looking home. I slipped through the entrance, hiding in the shadows as I sensed the number of people there were here. I became confused at two of them, and went to see them. One was on the ground floor, and it was an old man in a coma. I could sense in his shadow that it wasn't done naturally, and guessed Overhaul had something to do with it. I then went down the underground floor levels, searching for the other shadow. On the way, I saw a laboratory looking place, and was suspicious of the recruit doing experiments in there. He was testing blood samples, and I recognized the small bullet capsules that he had. I read his shadow, and became uneasy when it showed they were experimenting on an asset of theirs. I left, unable to find out more, and continued searching for the other strange shadow.

I soon found them, and saw it was a little girl. She was in a dark bedroom, the room poorly designed for a little girl, and she was clearly afraid and unhappy. I read her shadow, confused about why a child was with the yakuza, and I was struck with her immense sense of fear and obedience. I first found her name was Eri. She was afraid of the Shie Hassaikai, specifically Overhaul, but was even more afraid of people getting hurt because of her. It forced her into obedience, and my rage skyrocketed as her shadow revealed she was the one being experimented on. Her quirk, Rewind, forces people back into their previous states, whether it be an injury or their very existence. Overhaul was using her blood in attempt to create weapons that will erase people's quirks, the end goal being a permanent erasing rather than the temporary one they seem to be getting. It explained the bandages around Eri's arms, and I had to quickly leave before I exposed myself.

~Rin's pov~

Everyone was here, including Dabi, who finally decided to join us, along with Compress, who was patched up by Doctor Garaki. We were all sitting around, waiting for Kuro to return so we could start our meeting. After half an hour passed, Dabi sighed in annoyance and boredom. "This is taking too long. I'm just going to leave." He said as he began to get up. "Wait." I told him as I raised a hand to stop him, and we all paused as Kuro finally slipped into the room. "Kuro, what'd you find?" I asked her, and she rose a bit hesitantly, peeking her head up from the ground to look at me. "You're not going to like it." She warned uneasily, and I frowned. "Show me so I can tell the others." I told her, and she hesitated before reconnecting with me.

I was okay with the information on the floor plan and the number of people in the organization. The creation of the bullets were strange, but it was the memories and knowledge of Eri that really set me off. I stood and backed away from everyone with a harsh breath, my rage over that suffering little girl quickly summoning Kaida. I faintly heard the others worry about me as I snarled, my fingers turning into shadowy talons as I gripped and broke the wall. All I could see was red and the little girl. She was having it worse than any of us did, and I was so pissed.

"Rin, what did Kuro see?" I heard Dabi ask, and I looked at him while baring my teeth. "They're experimenting on a child." I snarled as I was enveloped more in darkness, falling to my hands and knees as I transformed. I heard him sigh in exasperation. "That's not a big deal." He told me like I was just overreacting, which only made me more pissed off. He stumbled back as I tried biting him in retaliation, most of my head and body covered in darkness, and the darkness began to expand into Kaida's long dragon form. Everyone began to panic at that, and Nīsan finally stepped forward. "Rin, stand down." He ordered me, and though the order was compelling, I was too angry to obey. "We can't leave the child to the same fate we had!" I growled. "No, we can't." He agreed in attempt to soothe me. "The child and the yakuza boy's time will come. For now, I'm ordering you to stand down." He added firmly.
