Chapter 145: *Ratatouille music plays* (World Heroes' Mission AU)

However, after searching the whole building, neither Flect Turn nor the Otheon Trigger Bomb could be found.

And in the end, after searching all 25 Humarise branches across the globe, no other Trigger Bombs were found.

Interrogation of the captured Humarise soldiers revealed that the low level grunts captured had no idea such a bomb even existed. Everyone that had to do with the bomb had disappeared.

It was suspected that Humarise had a secret base somewhere, and so our orders were to stand by in the cities we were stationed in and to try and find this hidden base.

"Ehh, sounds rough," I sighed into the phone receiver. "How are things in New York?"

"The same as everywhere else unfortunately, but at least they sell turkey legs in the street!" Hawks sounded awfully chipper in spite of the bad news thus far.

"Yeah, yeah, you cannibal," I laughed, leaning against the wall.

"You know me. Oh, Tsukuyomi's calling, see ya Turtledove!" and just like that he hung up.

I snort, stuff the phone back into my pocket.

'He's the same as always it seems.'

As I started to head back in, the doors to the supermarket suddenly opened.

"Don't slack off, damn Bumpkin!"

Shoto, Katsuki and Deku stepped out, each holding a stack of assorted groceries.

"My bad," I laughed, grabbing a few bags from each boy.

We walked through the streets of Otheon with our haul.

It was a quaint, bustling city, with architecture that had a mix of French and Spanish influences. Shophouses lined the streets each with their own little veranda and orange tiled roof. The materials of choice appeared to be bricks and stones, lending to the city's earthy tones.

"It's so lively here...!" Midoriya gushed, wide-eyed like a kid in a candy shop.

"That's because it's the biggest city in Otheon," Shoto explained.

"A city split across a river, connected by a big suspension bridge," I mumble, eyeing the red Golden Gate bridge's twin in the distance, "I wonder what the other side is like..."

Katsuki clicked his tongue.

"I don't care if we're standing by or whatever, but why do we have to run errands?!" he yelled, mainly at Midoriya for some reason, as if the poor boy was the one to force him into it.

"We're the lowest ranking on our team," Shoto explained simply.

"The only reason we're on the World Heroes' Team is because we're doing our work studies at Endeavor's agency."

I laugh, "We're like freebies that were just thrown in!"

"DON'T SOUND SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT!" Katsuki seethed.

"But," Midoriya looked serious. "Since we're on the team, we need to give it our all so we can protect everyone."

"The ideological organization, Humarise..." Shoto's face looked severe as well.

"The damn organization that's obsessed with a shitty delusion," Katsuki scowled.

'Geez, lighten up everyone...'

 "What the hell's with that Quirk Doomsday Theory?" The blonde spat, "They're seriously taking a bullshit story like it's the truth."

"Quirk Doomsday Theory..." I muttered.
