(y/n)'s pov

We all wore clothing that would keep our faces relatively hidden for entering the black market. Since we all had decent control over our appearances, we kept our features hidden until we entered. Of course, I only showed the albatross wings while we walked around. Different vendors were scattered throughout the underground, offering various services to customers. Besides the typical drugs and gambling that occurred down here, there were also services to have hybrid features removed and sold off. "What do you think they're looking for," Ushijima asked me as we got to a quieter area in the market. 

"I'm not sure," I replied as my gaze fell on a deal that was occurring in the nearby area. "Let's walk back and look through things one more time." The others nodded and we started to walk back in the direction we came from. Nothing caught my eye until we passed by a vendor selling some new kind of drug. There were several different colored powders available. 

"Can I interest you in any of my goods? I have ability enhancers for the hybrids," the tiger hybrid vendor leaned over his table towards me. 

"What are those?" I gestured to the other samples that were laid out. Sakusa stuck close to me and peeked over my shoulder at the products on the table. 

"I also have products that can grant temporary access to hybrid powers or another set of powers for those already hybrids. This is my last set for now... Someone has been buying those in bulk recently," the tiger said. "These over here can weaken or severely limit hybrids. They're especially useful if the Purification Officers are doing a check for hybrids."

"How do they work," Sakusa asked. 

The salesman pulled out a flask of water and poured it into a cup, adding a pinch of the powder and mixing the cup. "Easy as that," he said as he showed the contents of the cup to the two of us. "We're still working on making the formula almost impossible to detect. Due to some of the ingredients it does have a hint of color when mixed into liquids." 

"We'll consider it," Ushijima said, putting his hand on my shoulder from beside me. "Thank you for showing us your current stock." The tiger hybrid nodded at us before we left. We all made our way back to Fukurodani just as the other groups of hybrids arrived. 

"So any idea as to what they're looking for," Daichi asked, to which I shook my head. I did have an idea in mind but I needed to look a bit deeper into things before bringing it up. Mentioning something now would definitely affect Iwaizumi and Oikawa's team. 

I noticed Atsumu looking over at me throughout the conversation and he approached me after. "How was the black market," Atsumu asked. 

"How am I supposed to answer that," I replied sarcastically. "We can go take a look if you're so curious." Atsumu nodded, a while later just before we left I passed Sugawara, "Hey we'll be back in a bit." 

"Where are you guys going?"

"Black market," I replied. 

Atsumu jumped in, "Want to come with?" Sugawara nodded and let Daichi know where we were going. This time around I hid all of my features while Sugawara and Atsumu displayed theirs. The three of us put on masks and then made our way back into the black market. 

There were slightly more vendors present in the black market in the evening and among those vendors were two individuals selling various serums. "How are you this evening madam," one of the individuals called out to me. "Lovely mask you have." I think it was a male who spoke to me with a slight accent, but I couldn't quite make it out. 

"Thank you. I'm doing alright," I approached their booth, nudging Atsumu to grab his attention as I did. "What products are you guys selling?"

The male's partner spoke, "We have different serums with various effects. You can change the form of someone else with these to give power or take away power. They are all administered via injection." 

"I see. Thank you for showing me your product." 

Just before I stepped away the male spoke again, "You are hybrid. Yes, madam? Multiple species too... very rare." 

"How-"

"You should know that most of the products sold here tend to have either no results or very dramatic results on rare hybrids. You'd be safer in one of the retreats out of city," He continued, pulling out a piece of paper and writing a set of coordinates before placing it in my hand. On his hand was a tattoo of a phoenix. "Take care, miss." 

I nodded, briefly looking down at the paper before continuing to roam through the black market. "Anything," Sugawara asked Atsumu and I. 

"Maybe." 

Third Person Pov

"The Dreamweaver placed another order for a batch of serums. What do you think she's been doing with all of them," a male wearing a mask with peacock feathers asked the couple who handed off the product. 

"That's not for us to know," the female said, "But one can speculate on its relevance to the recent surplus in Mutants." While she was mostly blind, her eyes a glazed over gray, the woman was perceptive as ever. 

"As always it's been a pleasure working with the two of you," the broker said, his assistant took the box and had started to walk deeper into the underground. "You've never been interested in meeting your loyal buyer?"

The woman looked toward her husband, "The less we know the better."

After the broker left a couple of males passed by, whose voices were well-known to the public. The woman took her partner's hand and traced something on his palm with her index finger. He then reached for his phone to send a message.

It's in motion.

"Do you think she'll truly hold up her end of the deal," the man asked his wife. 

She gazed blankly into space, "I hope so. Deep down she's still the same kid."
