Grey Line

Boy Crush

Mika sat next to Hallie in the conference room, sipping another cup of warm coffee. Snow was making its way back into the area as the sun set. Hawks sat at the other end of the table, pulling up files. A small boy who looked like a copy and paste of Bakugo walked up to her and held out a piece of paper.

"I'm Tobi," his blue eyes looked at her.

Mika smiled, "Hello Tobi, my name is Mika. It's nice to meet you." She looked at the drawing, "Did you make this?" He shyly nodded with a blush on his cheeks, "You have a talent."

"Y-you can have it," he nervously looked away, making Mika chuckle.

"I will take it home with me and put it up so I can see it everyday."

Hallie laughed as her sons face turned red and he scurried away, "I think he's crushing."

Bakugo scoffed with a smirk, "Of course."

A man with spiky red hair walked through the doorway and grinned, "Well, I'm here now, who are we smashing?!"

Bakugo rolled his eyes, "Don't be loud. We got a few more to wait for."

The man's eyes settled on Mika, "Why hello, you can call me Kirishima."

Mika smiled, "Mika."

"Who's the babe," a man with blonde hair walked in, a smug grin on his face. Mika took note of the black streak on the side.

A woman with purple hair smacked the back of his head, walking in behind him, "Don't be a creep." She gave Mika an apologetic smile, "He's special."

Mika chuckled, watching Bakugo's patience wearing thin. A man named Sero joined them, followed by Tokoyami, and Shoto. The pink girl, Hallie's close friend, Mina made an appearance as well. She and Kirishima were the two who had gotten married recently. Shouta and Hizashi also joined in.

"Now that the gangs all here," Hawks smiled, "We got a lotta shit to cover." He tossed some photos in the table, "Rocky's" being one of them, "You are looking at the new League, there are four leaders...and over a dozen followers. All escaped during the war."

"Shit," the man named Denki looked over the photos.

"Precisely," Hawks sighed, "The small skirmish groups were a diversion from this one."

"Hence why there were punk kids," Bakugo was beginning to string it all together now.

Hallie noticed Rocky's photo and looked at Mika, who nodded. Hawks continued, "They had planned to attack UA...as a diversion."

"From what," Deku leaned back against the wall.

"They have some key players we've put away over the last few years..."

"They wanted to blow Maximum," Mika said, "They want to start another war."

"But why," Kirishima studied the pictures.

"There is money in war...we know that," Hallie sighed, "They picked the perfect time."

"Yeah, no Commission, or big slum lords left," Bakugo tapped his finger on the table, "We need to keep under the radar."

"Agreed," Hawks looked at Mika, "And be cautious."

"Meaning no solo work," she slyly shot back.

Hallie couldn't help but smirk, "But, we also have to keep digging and figure out what's next."

"It can't be Hawks," Tokoyami chimed in, "they've already captured him."

Mika looked at Bakugo. Hawks watched Mika closely. Hallie noticed the exchanges and decided to speak, "Mika," she held up the photo of Rocky, "Do you know this man?"
