V: "mm...huh?" waking up seeing a ceiling fan slowly turn...possibly from the breeze that managed to get in from the broken window located next to it...she was on a bed...and she seemed very out of it...coughing again...her vision was still in it's glitching phase the relic malfunction once more...or so it says...
V: "All for one?" and he appears 
AFO: "good...thought you finally flatlined on me" seeing him looking out the window...
V: "Fuck...my head" 
AFO: "Don't rush it." 
V: "where...the hell are we?" 
AFO: "Sunset Hotel...Pacifica" 
V: "Pacifica?" 
AFO: "This place was one of the many things i remembered in my past...before my son...*sigh*...well, this place was one of the few places i would go to...stare at the ceiling fan and just wonder what the hell am i doing"
V: "For a supervillain you had time to be a father?" 
AFO: "...to an extent...they were only brief...but...they meant everything to me...to think i don't remember them distinctly...is it's own form of torture" solemn about it...
V: "...can't imagine what that's like" 
AFO: "I'm sure Shield fucked with my mind more than I speculated...altered memories...replaced feelings..." 
V: "You said you fought the symbol of peace right?" 
AFO: "From what my digital memory can recall" 
V: "Soulkiller was possibly in it's beginning stages...so the process itself could've scrambled certain parts of your head" 
AFO: "hmm...sounds like it...whatever fits...but enough talk...get up...come on...get some air." glitching out again...V struggles to stand up...trying to control her breathing...climbing over the window frame...she falls over...her muscles still weak 
V: "why the hell is my whole body fucking sore" 
AFO: "I'll admit trying to get you here was similar to controlling a fucking puppet...or trying to teach an infant to walk." and he may or may not harmed her by falling off certain places...but that's not important
V: "well...better than being dead i guess" seeing V look over the balcony...she sees the ocean in full view 
AFO: "only good thing about Pacifica was the ocean and the lack of an economy here...so the air quality is slightly better than anywhere else
V:at least one thing is good about Pacifica" 
AFO: "You missed a lot...even if it was a day" he sounded much more whiny than usual...
V: "Never heard you this somber before...why...sad you couldn't take control any longer?" 
AFO: "Of course you assumed that...like your disgusting body is w orth as a vessel for me" 
V: "fuck you" 
AFO: "hmph..." 
V: "fuck...putting the insult beside...what happened?" 
AFO: "Johnny...or...Izuku...is dead" she frozed up...she felt a chill run up her spine for some reason...and now..she felt...guilt...sadness...she never really known him that much...or...this could be AFOs emotions mixing in with hers...she can't tell if it's her own or not.
V: "how" she asked him...then AFO using Vs optics..displayed the news announcement..and the execution he received
V: "fuck" 
AFO: "All the more reason i need to get even with that cunt...that's beside the point...he knew what he was getting himself into...but...this was beyond what i was expecting...the very minimum i expected him to die in a battle against one of those...what you call a cyberpsycho...anything...than just being put down like a dog...what a waste...come on" as he walks to another window...open...
AFO: "Crawl in" 
V: "Your taking this a lot more...well" 
AFO: "And how should i act?" 
V: "I don't know...pissed off...your last line of blood cut off" 
AFO: "I knew what i was getting myself into a long time ago...even as a bundle of codes that hasn't changed...the things I've seen in my lifetime...this is just...another misfortune" 
V now trying to crawl into the window sill..she fell over and grunts...tired 
AFO appears again: "Pull the boarding off here...there's something i want you to have" as she crawls over...stumbling a little...she kneels to pick the hidden compartment...opening it up she comes across a necklace...shaped like a demon...or..those Onis they would call it 
AFO: "Belonged to my son...rather have you keep it for the time being..." 
V: "thanks...I guess...Firedrake owned this?" 
AFO: "his nickname Firedrake was what he was called in japan...or his hero name to be specific...here...they called him Samurai...when i heard of it...Thought it was stupid...but i never really bothered him about it..." 
V: "hmm" putting it around her 
AFO: "and now...I guess i failed his promise...even then i failed it long ago" 
V: "..." 
AFO: "He asked if anything happened to him...that i would watch over Izuku...that i wouldn't be absent from his life...like i was with him...and look how that turned out...again...i've learned to cope with it...V...I want you to know that i made a shit ton of mistakes...some i even regretted...If there is a way to save you..i will find it..we will get through this together..." 
V: "heh...look at you...growing up before my very eyes...i wonder if you were alive...you would be saying the same thing" 
AFO: "hmph...most likely i would try to kill you..." 
V: "Johnny said something about being involved with the Aldecados...maybe we could start there?" 
AFO: "Doubt they would want anything to do with us...even if your buddies with him...i think the best thing to do next is to find Eri...his daughter" 
V: "shit i forgot about her" 
AFO: "you mean when you got kicked and she pointed a gun at your face?" 
V: "Not the first time it's happened" 
AFO: "Not surprised" 
V: "well...let's get to work then" 
AFO nods and he disappears...leaving her alone...knowing what to do...she heads out...to find Eri 

*Punch* 
Izuku: "Nice to see you missed me" unphased by the punch he received from Panam 
Panam: "Your supposed to be fucking dead!" 
Santiago was just laughing at the display before him 
Izuku: "Either way...I need to talk to saul...you know where he is?" they remained quiet...
Mitch: "He's been kidnapped...where...the wraiths managed to get a surprise attack on us during one of our own raids...took him as a meatshield and now they have him as hostage...they won't give him back...Scorpion told us that they want him to spill out info where the rest of the clan is located...as much as we would like to help you with those components Johnny...we ask that you get him back." 
Izuku of course was frustrated at this 
Panam: "if you do this we will do everything in our power to help you get Kendo back" hearing her address Itsuka by her last name...not the venomous way she would say 'hero'...he was surprised 
Izuku: "alright...i'll do it...but...the rest of my squad are also going to need some gear and supplies...enough that you can spare" 
Panam: "whatever...I'll go as well" 
Mitch: "Santiago and I will keep watch." 
Santiago: "I think it would be best if only you and Panam went...the less there are the better you have a chance getting out of there alive" 
Izuku: "right...in the meantime...Tanner...Stross...get some intel on the remaining components...Hera" 
Hera: "hmm?" 
Izuku: "contact Judy...see if she is trustworthy...make sure no one is listening...i'll be back" 
Hera: "right sir" 
Walker: "Guess i'll have to sit down and talk business with you santiago...get going kid" 
Panam: "we'll take the van...easier extraction" of course Izuku was growing more worried with every minute passing...the 'rehabilitation' program they are putting Kendo through..has him on the edge...he knows they'll use many BD scans and sessions to try and 'rewire' her behavior..he's seen it once before...and it's very likely it would happen again...driving towards the base they've been suspected to have the Aldecado leader...Panam made small talk with him 
Panam: "so...how did you survive the point blank blast from Smasher?" 
Izuku: "...since i'm going to need your help...might as well  get you informed a little bit" explaining how he experimented on his body to give him the ability to regenerate wounds and such...the tissue managed to nearly stop the bleeding..but it made him suffer longer...he explained how he thought it was his time...until his old squad came and rescued him...he used more...more of the tissue to help alleviate the injuries taken...but the downside...is if he uses too much...it could cause a lot of complications...it will heal...but it could also act like a tumor...and since it's a prototype...it can potentially destroy itself in the process
Panam: "shit...so with no quirk...or cyberware...you managed to make something else to combat against it" Izuku waited to tell her about the cyberware...having too much info get out isn't needed yet...but she at least deserves that much 
Panam: "Oh shit" 
Izuku: "what?" as he looks ahead...to the side..he sees the huge sandstorm coming their way...trying to see how far it is
Izuku: "we might have time...if we get there...and extract him...the storm could cover our tracks..." 
Panam: "if the storm hits by then...i can't cover you from a vantage point" 
Izuku: "I'm sure you could scout out the area...i'll do what i can" 
Panam: "right" after a while...izuku calibrating some of his weapons...he is given a tank top...and then brown jacket with sand and rocks on it 
Panam: "it helps keep you hidden...though the hair needs to be hidden" handing him a cloak...a sand cloak..that covered his hair but it didn't hindered his vision...cocking the handcannon...he puts it away...leaving his other weapons behind...bringing out his knife...
Izuku: "Lets do this"
