Heroes of Tomorrow

Part 22~Sir Nighteye

Uzu sighed as he left the building. He was hoping to talk to Yao-momo and Jiro before he left, but Momo was knocked out cold. Not even Aizawa's angry glare could stir her, which was the other reason he was sighing.

He had detention, which felt very rude, considering Momo was the one who barged into his room. Still, he didn't have time to argue before he had to rush off to his work hero study.

Tokoyami walked alongside him as they left the room, seeing Midoriya and Kirishima a little before them.

"Morning, boys." Uzu hopped down the stairs as he grinned. "Looks like you got called in, too."

"Most be serious if we're all getting involved," Tokoyami nodded as Uraraka appeared behind him.

"Oh, good morning, guys!" Uraraka and Tsu walked out, both in their school uniforms as well. "You going in today?"

"Anyone else feel like what's about to happen is big?" Uzu tapped his chin as Kirishima chuckled.

"I think just having you and Tokoyami here gives that impression."

As they went to the station, they met other heroes and kept going the same way. They were on the same train, going to the same station and finally to the same building.

They met the big three outside, and when they walked into the room, tons of heroes were waiting inside.

"Strange, I don't see Hawks," Tokoyami noted as Uzu laughed.

"He's not the best at resisting a dramatic entrance. He'll arrive when he wants to."

Nejire bounced up to Ryukyu, talking loudly as she tried to get answers. "Hey, what's the scoop? "What's going on? Talk to me, Ryukyu! I mean, I know you said there's a meeting, but what's it about?"

"Patience Nejire."

Uraraka and Tsu instead chose to talk to Aizawa. "You, too, Mr. Aizawa?"

"I'm confused. Why are you here?" Tsu tilted her head as Aizawa turned to face them.

"I was called in last minute for this thing. I think I've got a rough idea of what it's about."

"You should, too," Ryukyu announced. "Remember what I told you, girls?" Uraraka and Tsu shared a look as Ryukyu turned to Sir Nighteye. "We're all here, Nighteye. Well, almost all."

As if on cue, Hawks burst through the doors with Robbin. "Yo."

Uzu forced a smile as Tokoyami blinked in surprise.

"I told you we were late," Robbin announced as Hawks waved him off.

"We're here. That's all that's important. Let's get this started."

Sir Nighteye nodded as he walked forward. "Thanks to the information provided by all of you, our investigation has progressed substantially. We've invited you all here for a joint conference to share the intel we've acquired regarding the yakuza group Shie Hassasikai and what we believe they might be planning."

"Hold on, I feel like I'm missing something really important here. Shie H'what now?" Kirishima looked to Fat Gum in confusion as he got a super helpful explanation.

"Some bad guys're planning to do some bad things. And they've called a meeting so we can talk it all out. Trust me. You two are very much involved."

Uzu frowned as he looked at Hawks. "No offence. I'm sure these guys are super bad, but you don't usually deal with the Yakuzas."

Hawks nodded. "No, I don't, but Robbin told me about your hunch, and we followed up on it. That led us to Sir Nighteye, and we're here to see if your hunch is worth its weight as a hero."
