Fwushhhh

     The muffled sound of a toilet flushing sounded from behind a simple wood door.

Creeee'k

     Said door opened. Light creeped into the dark bedroom which no other doors branched from. The walls were a light tan, furniture simple, darkly stained wood. A man with a head of messy black hair crossed the room to reach his neatly made bed where a spare set of clothes lay folded atop it. Black pants. Black jacket. Red v-neck shirt. Ahh, it was nice returning to his old wardrobe. Presently, he wore a simple white shirt and black shorts. The man sighed sadly as he unfolded his shirt.

     "Ohh, how I miss you~"

     "Shimazaki-" A deep voice droned from behind the younger man.

     "-GAHH!" Ryo sprung straight up, twisting his body around in an instant. "Oh!.. Geez! I'm still adjusting to having my quirk back I guess." He rubbed the back of his neck, hiding his following growl under a smile. "Also still getting used to not being the only teleporter.." Kurogiri stood tall and straight, his misty face unaffected by the suspected enmity.

     "All For One has requested a meeting with you in no more than an hour. Ensure you are prepared by then. .. And I suggest you make yourself a little more presentable.."

     "Alright, alright, I get it." Ryo's shoulder intentionally brushed against the Nomu's as he made his way toward the bathroom again, wad of clothes in hand. "Still haven't changed yet, mist face."

     The messenger hummed a growl. "You know how to call me when you require transportation."

     Ryo closed the door. After he was dressed in his pants and shirt, the Esper stood upsidedown from the bathroom ceiling, using a mound of hairspray to fix his hair into shape. Only a few strands in front of his face were left unaffected. After he'd dropped down from the ceiling, Ryo slid on his black jacket. After exiting the bathroom, Ryo pressed and held the button to a device mounted on his bedroom wall.

     This bedroom was specially made for him and he rather liked it. Surrounded in layers of concrete and earth, the bedroom was completely alone. Solitary. So quiet and remote he could probably sleep for days without realizing! Ryo had to admit, though, he kind of missed a couple of his neighbors back in that old suburban neighborhood of his... Heh, yes. Even that annoying little brat who kept throwing baseballs through his window. But these were the new boss' orders. AFO couldn't risk Ryo screwing up his plans by accidentally leaking information or anything. Here, he was under constant supervision. Only allowed to leave his solitary room if AFO himself was aware of his whereabouts. .. Definitely the behavior of a paranoid parent, but guess this was what Ryo deserved for making a habit out of betraying everyone a few months back. Ryo no longer had such plans of betrayal, but he had to admit on occasion how annoying his boss was for being a hover-parent.

     "Um... Kurogiri?" Ryo spoke into the device. The misty Nomu reappeared less than ten seconds later.

     "Is that the best you could come up with?" The Nomu scowled ahead at Ryo, hands tucked behind his back. The Esper scoffed.

     "Just take me to the boss already and I won't comment on the cosplay you're wearing."

     "Fine then. But keep in mind that this is an important meeting... You will not be the only one attending."
