Sympathy

Hello and welcome to another chapter of Legion! 

NOTICE: As an incentive, we've decided to host a little competition, start from the beginning of Legion and whoever can get the most references in the shortest amount of time will get to name a clone of their choosing!

Send a message through PMs detailing all the references you've found, our winner will be declared at the posting of the next chapter!

And as a final note. I'm dedicating this chapter to my brother who will soon be leaving on a religious mission and as such won't have time to read much longer.

Tech, I'm proud of who you've become and I know you'll do great things.

Now onto the story.

"Understanding is honoring the truth beneath the surface."

Mina, Rex and Kyoka had been enjoying their time at the mall and were going over a list of supplies. Mina, although she wanted to take a look at every shop, had fortunately been corralled by the combined efforts of the other two.

Everything had been going pretty well.

Had been, that is.

"Hey, you're one of the girls from U.A., right?"

Mina couldn't even blink before she felt an arm around her shoulder and a hand around her neck, letting out a half choked noise.

"What?"

"What the-you!" Rex snarled as he drew a blaster from within the fleece he was wearing.

"Ah ah ah, no sudden movements. Otherwise, this little piggy," He waved his pinky finger mockingly. "Disintegrates."

'How did I think to bring a blaster and not a comm!'

"Let her go!" Kyoka hissed as her jacks tensed.

"G-guys?"

"I just want one thing...bring me Mand'alor...I want to talk with him," Shigaraki demanded. "You do that for me, and we won't have to deal with a big mess, and no sudden moves, pinky. I'd rather not stain my clothes."

Mina gulped and clutched at the closest thing near her which turned out to be Rex's hand.

"R-rex...Kyoka..."

"It's going to be alright, Mina. Kyoka...go get Mand'alor. Do it as quickly as possible, but don't bring attention to yourself...there's too much at risk."

"R-right," Kyoka stuttered before taking off.

Shigaraki grinned.

"Heroes...so predictable."

Leading them to a fountain, they sat down with Rex holding her hand tightly and providing all the comfort he could, all while having his blaster trained at the villain that had gotten the entire Vod'e's ire. He wanted to show that if he made good on his promise, he would shoot him then and there.

"Listen here, you crusty shabuir. If you lie, then I will find you and I will make you go through so much pain that you will wish that you were never born. And if you think your 'clever' insults will work here, then just know this; I will feel absolutely no guilt in putting you six feet under." Rex said in a tone cold enough to make the villain lose his manic smile for a moment, with a small amount of shock being visible in his eyes, even more so when he felt the barrel being pressed against his forehead.

Looking into the eyes of the NPC in front of him, he saw absolutely nothing even reminiscent of guilt or regret. Only stone cold determination and hatred directed towards him. This thing wanted him dead.
