PARANORMAL LIBERATION WAR ARC
— # part onecontent warnings: descriptions of violence &
mutilation.— "THIS IS BULLSHIT."
my elbow found home in katsuki's ribs upon his outburst, eliciting a pained groan and a sharp glare in my direction from him. the shining viridian metal of his grenades slashed my side in response, to which i brought up my foot and jabbed his shin with my heel.
the pro heroes standing by paid no mind to the exchange of attacks, all too focused on the records being projected upon the screens in front of us.
upon their ignorance, izuku quickly slotted himself between katsuki and i, hand closing around my wrist and preventing a punch to the blond's bicep. he shot a wary smile to the wild wild pussycats watching from afar, before leaning down and whispering that the two of us were embarrassing him in front of the cool pro heroes.
"why should we have to sit by while the pros do all the fighting?" katsuki said, his words sounding suspiciously whiny. "i wanna beat up the stupid villains!"
rocklock shifted his gaze away from him, crossing his arms and shaking his head disapprovingly.
the very thing my brother had been attending meetings for during my work study (and also the very thing he was absent to, probably because potentially fighting all for one while the bones in his leg are still healing isn't the smartest idea) was finally here, and we were finally in the know.
even though i was still slightly pissed at my brother for keeping secrets, the reasoning for withholding the information was so reasonable that i couldn't possibly complain. re-destro and shigaraki's army was only growing in numbers, and they certainly had the means to attack if word got out that the heroes were planning on striking first.
this was hard to plan around, especially considering this attack was involving a lot of heroes. every single on-duty hero in japan that wasn't secretly involved with the villains, to be exact.
which is how we work-study students found ourselves in a conference room just outside jaku city with tsukauchi, endeavor, and an array of other pro heroes.
"kyudai garaki— the board chairman at jaku general hospital, and the mad scientist who bioengineered those nomu abominations." mandalay said, gesturing to the screen as the photo of a rosy-cheeked old man is displayed. "he's who we're looking for."
endeavor's eyes narrowed suspiciously, "how are you so certain he's the one to blame?"
"i sent someone in undercover after receiving intel from the hero public safety commission. he found a restricted area within the hospital, and none of the staff knew its purpose." detective tsukauchi said. "this off-limits area has one entrance: through the morgue. garaki is the only person who ever comes and goes. if you need more evidence..."
