A Friend

Chapter 13

The rest of the briefing went by in a breeze, the operation was set to start at ten pm. Due to the Spector being out with his father as his 'twin' sister was with 'their' mother on their own trip. Which was in part of some family tradition where the parents would take their child on an outing; if it's a boy they go with the father and vice versa. The amount of information still boggled Izuku as according to Fritz they had managed to dig up all this information in the span of an hour after identifying the Spector, which raised further questions like who in the hell were these people?!

"Alright get going we got at least three hours left so prep what you need and get going... not that any of you need prep time." Fritz said with a heavy sigh as she knew along with the assembled people in front of her that she'd given them the green light to do whatever for the next three-ish hours before they've got work to do. And almost imminently the room exploded into chatter as conversations picked up where they left off, and everyone broke off into little groups some leaving, some staying, some even pulled out strange gem like disks that when they lit up the holder's eyes went dull; as if their conciseness left their body.

The words "Sinclair, Kromer come here." rang out a soft but imposing voice that silenced the room. People stopped what they were doing and even the dull eyed ones seemed to take note as they lazily turned their lightless eyes towards the speaker.

Looking at the speaker it turned out to be Martyr, but something seemed different. The air around him seemed still and stiff. Which both Izuku and Bakugo surmised to be due to the brief as who wouldn't be serious after hearing all of... that? But still it was curious why those two were called out in particular, and another thing: who the hell were those two?

It didn't take long for the answer to present itself as two men stood up, both were similar in height but one was slightly taller and had unnaturally white skin paired with a pair of shallow milky white colored eyes, which went in line with his hair. Which was also white but had strains of blond through it. While the other one was slightly shorter and had the same milky white skin, but he had piercing gold eyes and bright golden hair, as well as being rather finicky as he made sure all his clothing was straight and his gear was where it was supposed to be.

"What do you need of us?" The two said almost in unison once they had reached where the trio was standing. Both seemingly nervous and averted their eyes in an effort as to not make eye contact.

"Take these two back home, I have things to discuss with the Deaconess." Martyr said walking off not even acknowledging anyone else as he walked towards Fritz. Bakugo was about to voice his protest when Martyr spoke again "And you two be nice to Sinclair and Kromer, they'll make sure you'll get home safe, you have my 'guarantee'." Martyr said while turning his head just enough so the two could see the reassuring smile of his.

It looked forced and there was just something off with their mentor, Izuku knew and before Bakugo could do anything he grabbed his arm and quickly gibbered out "Al-alright we'll be leaving now ri-right Ka-chan?"

Bakugo, who felt like he was about to explode suddenly calmed down, Izuku... Izuku was scared and by calling him 'Kachan' confirmed it. Izuku, he hadn't said that once since last month as they had drifted far far apart, and had so far only referred. It was odd and left Katsuki beyond puzzled, as why was Izuku scared? Of course this shit head Martyr was a real ass at times, but it was like he had just been told by death himself that he got lucky. Playing it safe Katsuki just growled, nodded his head and followed two pale bastards, followed shortly after by Izuku.

It was horrific. It was like Martyr had turned into a different person and that person had terrified Izuku to his very core. He knew this as Martyr had as part of his teachings had been showing him and Bakugo how to read people's energies; by extending one's self soul into their surroundings it would give them an edge over anyone that couldn't do likewise. The intent behind that was to get a read on where people were located, if they're telling the truth, if they're going to attack, how they are going to attack and so on.
