When I was young, I learned words alone mean nothing. Words can be twisted into any shape. They lull the heart and seduce the soul. I was taught to always judge a soul since it always speaks the truth.

Souls do in fact speak. They say more than what words can since you can never change the feelings of your soul on your own. I can tell when people lie, when people are sad, when aa people are silently angry, I can feel any emotion. I can hear it with their intentions. My mom always told me something..

Something about actions.

"Mija, the wisest is always the most silent." My mother always said.

"Mama what does that mean?"

"It means that those who look at someone from afar are more careful and wiser. You never trust someone's words if what they do from afar does not back them up. You judge them and their soul from a ways away to see who they truly are. Never be swept away by words mija you understand? Words aren't anything without soul."

From then on I always did just that. My mother was always right and I've never had that experience with anyone.

But I've never seen a good soul turn bad until today.

The three of them reached the mountain's peak, Bakugo went straight for the helicopter while Astraea went for the case.

"You learned nothing from Hosu, your codes are still so hard to decipher." Shoto rolled his eyes at Midoriya.

"Todoroki, save the brown haired guy, Bakugo handle the helicopter". Astraea landed next to the briefcase and chucks it at Midoriya. "Stay put, you're injured so let us handle it".

"Thanks but who are you?" Midoriya ran after her.

"Astraea. I was working with your friends to find you and this case. I'm also here to take down Humarise."

"He's not my friend" Bakugo yelled, blasting the helicopter.

"He says that a lot." Midoriya scratched the back of his neck.

"Whatever you are to him, hold on to that case carefully alright? Good talk", She took off to the helicopter, her boots blasting purple flames in the air.

Todoorki cased one of the villains in ice. "Wait let me go and I'll do whatever you want". he begged for mercy.

Astraea jumped down to him,"Tell me everything you know about his plans and maybe I'll help you out."

"Yes I promise I will, just get me out—" A barrage of arrows rained down on the mountain, "Shoto, get out the way!"

Astraea grabbed him, picking him up with her in the air as his ice broke and fell to the ground and the villain along with it. "Filthy traitor". The green haired woman yelled.

"Beros stop it what the hell are you doing!" Astraea landed back on ground, checking his pulse and she felt nothing. The villain was dead.

"Haven't seen you in a while" Beros waved down to Astraea, whos anger was rising by the minute.

"Damn it, Bakugo, Astraea you gotta take her down" Todoroki jumped down to Rody further down the mountain.
"Don't give me orders!" Bakugo blasted his way to the helicopter as Astraea followed.
