The 𝕊𝕞𝕦𝕘 French Girl (MHA/BNHA ~ Shinso x OC)

37.) Searching

The Paranormal Liberation Front's 10 top officers are currently in a meeting to discuss further plans. Shigaraki is currently with the doctor to become more powerful, so he's absent from the meeting. Hawks just left after updating them on all he's doing to help.

Lunox usually is the one to attend the meetings, leaving Kivi trapped in her own mind as she listens in on to what's happening. Lunox likes to keep her conscious enough to hear the devastation of the future she'll cause. Whenever Lunox is in control, she turns off Kivi's quirk from working, mainly to prevent Kivi from trying to take over.

Once the meeting is over, Lunox returns control of Kivi's body to Kivi and secludes herself in the back of her mind to prepare without Kivi knowing what's going on. Usually, during this time, Kivi's eyes return to their normal green. Green eyes mean that whatever Kivi says to anyone else, Lunox won't know about it. Lunox is only present when Kivi's eyes are purple. So Kivi needs to act quickly.

Right when Lunox left and Kivi took over, Kivi quickly sensed all the lingering feathers around the room. Hawks was listening to the meeting. Good.

Kivi leaves the room, following his aura.

Twice comes up behind her, swinging an arm over her shoulder. "Heading to the cafeteria, Apate? Me too! I'm hungry! No, I'm not! I'll come with you! I hate being with you!"

"You two heading for a bite to eat? Mind if I tag along?" Redestro asks.

"No one likes your ugly mug! Sure!" Twice shouts.

Kivi grumbles to herself as they make their way to the cafeteria. Luckily that's where Hawks is located.

Redestro sees Hawks ahead of them—not being allowed to enter the cafeteria from the guard out front—and quickens his pace to meet Hawks first. "You've been handing the book out to heroes." Hawks turns to the man with a flat look. "Not only have you clearly read it, but you've grasped the true essence of what Destro stood for. So good to have another true believer with us."

Twice walks up beside Hawks to whisper not so softly. "Honestly, I still don't get it! Wanna fill me in sometime?"

"Sure! It's not too tricky," Hawks agrees.

"With you spreading the word, our liberation ideology will permeate society faster than ever! Your fan base is the 10-to-20 demographic, and winning them over would be huge," Redestro grins happily.

Kivi shoves her way through the two up to Hawks. She gives him a look as if saying to go along with it once he meets her eyes. She moves forward to hug him. "I've missed you."

It takes Hawks' mind a second to catch up before he returns the hug, figuring she'll explain later. He did notice the color change in her eyes after all. Something is different. He smiles, patting the top of her head. "Me too, doll."

"H-Huh?!" Twice shrieks, pointing at the two. "What's this treachery?!"

Kivi remains hugging him but pulls herself back to look up at him with a happy smile. "We can finally be together more often." She sighs, puffing her cheeks in a pout. "It was hard to date when I was at UA."

Hawks gives her a mischievous smile before kissing her forehead and releasing each other. "No kidding."

"WHAAAAT?! You two are DATING?! SINCE WHEN?! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DIDN'T TELL ME!"

Kivi chuckles, turning to the two actual villains. "Well... it was a spur of the moment thing..." she sheepishly replies, dragging the tip of her right foot along the ground in embarrassment and keeping her face directed toward the floor. "It was a little after we first met when we helped Endeavor fight that Nomu..."
