Harmony of Shadows

Number one leads the meetings

Deku sat at the head of the table, Azur asleep in his hair as he faced the gathered pros. Kat sat to his left, with Kai in his lap, both of them alert despite the tense atmosphere.

"Does anyone know why this attack occurred?" Izu asked, taking the lead for once, his voice steady and composed.

"Not yet, but Power Loader is looking into it, as well as Nezu, I believe," Aizawa said in his tired voice, Silver asleep in his scarf.

Deku nodded, his expression thoughtful. "So what do we know?"

The room fell silent for a moment, each hero deep in thought. Then, Mirko leaned forward, her expression serious.

"We know it was coordinated. Multiple locations hit simultaneously, and the attackers had detailed knowledge of our patrol schedules. This wasn't a random act."

Hawks, standing near the window with his wings partially unfurled, added, "Their equipment was advanced, too. We're dealing with someone who has access to high-end tech."

Deku frowned, his mind racing with possibilities. "Any leads on who might be behind it?"

Endeavor, arms crossed and face stern, spoke up. "A few suspects, but nothing concrete yet. We're looking into known groups with the resources and motive to pull something like this off."

"Any casualties?" Kat asked, his voice low and tense as he absentmindedly stroked Kai's fur.

"Thankfully, none," Recovery Girl said, her tone relieved. "But several injuries. We need to be ready in case they strike again."

Deku took a deep breath, feeling the weight of leadership on his shoulders. "Alright, we need to increase patrols and tighten security. Let's keep gathering information and stay vigilant. We can't let them catch us off guard again."

The pros nodded in agreement, determination clear in their eyes. Deku glanced at Kat, who gave him a reassuring nod. They were in this together, ready to face whatever threat lay ahead.

Deku took another deep breath, gathering his thoughts before speaking again.

"There's something else," he began, his voice carrying a note of urgency. "I have a gut feeling that All For One is on the move."

The room tensed at the mention of the notorious villain. Kat's eyes narrowed, and Kai let out a low growl, sensing the unease in the room.

"A gut feeling?" Endeavor questioned, raising an eyebrow. "Do you have any evidence to support that?"

Deku shook his head. "No concrete evidence yet, but I can't shake the feeling. All For One has been too quiet lately, and this kind of coordinated attack feels like his style. He's always been about creating chaos and destabilizing us."

Aizawa, his expression grave, spoke up. "If All For One is involved, we need to be even more cautious. We can't afford to underestimate him especially after his letter."

"Agreed," Hawks added, his wings twitching slightly. "We should operate under the assumption that he could be pulling the strings until we know otherwise, that and the prophecy might be coming in to play."

Mirko nodded. "We'll keep our eyes open and be ready for anything. If All For One is involved, we'll need to be at our best."

Deku looked around the room, meeting the eyes of each pro. "Let's stay sharp and keep each other informed. We'll need to work together to face whatever comes our way."

The heroes nodded in agreement, their resolve solidifying. 

Deku's resolve fortified, he continued, "We'll need to tighten our surveillance and gather intel on any suspicious activities. I want regular updates from all sectors, and any leads, no matter how small, should be investigated thoroughly."

Aizawa nodded, his expression serious. "I'll coordinate with the surveillance teams and ensure we're covering all our bases."

"Mirko, Hawks," Deku continued, "I need you two to follow up on the tech angle. If this attack involved high-end equipment, we need to trace its origins. Find out who has access to that kind of technology."

"You got it," Mirko replied, her eyes gleaming with determination.

"We're on it," Hawks agreed, his wings twitching as he prepared for action.

"Endeavor," Deku said, turning to the number two hero, "we'll need your firepower ready. If All For One is truly behind this, he won't hesitate to escalate."

Endeavor gave a firm nod. "Understood. I'll increase our training sessions and make sure we're ready for anything."

Recovery Girl chimed in, "I'll ensure the medical team is prepared for any injuries. We can't afford to lose anyone in this fight."

"Good," Deku said, feeling the weight of their collective determination. 

"And Kacchan," he turned to his left, where Kat sat with Kai in his lap, "keep an eye on the ground level. Your instincts are sharp, and we can't afford to miss any details."

Kat gave a small, confident smile. "You got it, Deku. We'll keep our ears to the ground."

As the meeting began to wrap up, Deku felt a renewed sense of purpose. He looked at Azur, still peacefully asleep in his hair, and drew strength from the presence of his spirit animal.

Then he remembered what Mist said as he trained.

"You are not alone; you have each other."

 "Remember," he said, his voice carrying a steely determination, "we're stronger together. We'll face whatever comes our way and protect each other, no matter what."

The heroes dispersed, each heading to their respective tasks with a sense of urgency and resolve. Deku watched them go, feeling a mix of pride and responsibility. With All For One potentially on the move, they were entering a critical phase. But he knew that with his friends and allies by his side, they could overcome any challenge.

"I bet it kills Endeavour to take orders fro you" Kat chuckkled as he and Izu walked back to the dorms. 

"Probably" Izuku shrugged.

Kat shot a concerned look at Izu. 

"We got this Babe, with you leading there is no way we will lose."

Deku smiled "Gosh I hope your right."
