Connected Touch || Shota Aizawa - DISCONTINUED.

Chapter Two: The Meet-Up

      Once we entered the building. It was clear that I totally forgot everything. "Wow, the look on your face!" Mic bursts out in laughter. I laugh along with him faintly as I follow behind him. Memories immediately flush in my head, emotion rising in me. How could I forget? This is where I trained, this is where I succeed and failed many times. I was friends and sometimes enemies with the known pro heroes. "Ah Midnight! Look who is here to join us!"

I bring myself back to reality when I spot Midnight coming out of a classroom. "No way! It's you!" A smile grows on my face as she runs up to me. Wow, she has improved. She is still obviously beautiful, nothing will change about that, but her hero costume... My cheeks heat up when she pulls me forward. I couldn't help but feel quite boring standing next to her. Actually, I feel even boring standing next to Present Mic.

They were dressed in so much bright attire. They looked so outstanding and confident. Midnight and I pull away from each other. "You still have that hero costume? After all these years?" She asks as she pulls me closer to her by my harness. My eyes widen as I try to back up but she tightens his fists around them.

"I just like it.. it's not too bold." I reply, my throat closing up in embarrassment. I hear Mic chuckle behind me to himself. "Let her go." Midnight smiles softly as she lets go. I catch myself by my heels.

"Let's hurry and get going. Nezu is waiting on us." Mic continues on in front of us, singing to himself once again. Midnight starts to walk beside me. "How old are you now?" She randomly ask. I turn to her. She should know. We were in the same class? "29." She gasps in surprise. "You still look so young! I love your cheekbones. Wow, your breast have gotten," I stop her by raising my hand. "Thank you." I laugh it off my cheeks flushing red.

"Where have you been? You just left when we graduated."

I scoff. "What? I was still here for 2 years after U.A!"

She sighs, nodding. "Well yeah.. but then you left. What happened? I mean, you were still known. You were on the news a lot here." My eyes widen. "I was?!" She frowns looking down at me. "Yes?" I just shake my head, deciding not to say anything else.

"Have you met your soulmate?"

I felt my heart clench. My stomach flipping.

Have you met your soulmate..?

"No," I breathe out, my hands meeting behind my back. "not yet..."

"Why? That's so," she stops realizing it too.

"Oh.. is it Connected Touch?" I grip my hands together tighter. She doesn't know.. it's not her fault. "Y-Yeah, it is."

"Oh, another teacher here-

"Sh! We are about to reach the room!" Present Mic cuts her off. I sigh in relief, looking down at my feet. We walk down another hallway, staying silent. We hear laughter and conversation down the hall some more. Just like that, I got intense shivers. My head pounding, my heart clashing. What is this feeling? What is happening. I remove my arms from behind my back to look at my arms. I have goosebumps?

"Hey Misa, are you alright? You look dizzy?" Midnight reaches for me with caution. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just nervous to see everyone again!" I lie, swallowing down my fear and confusion.

We reach the door finally. Mic turns to smile at me one more time before opening the door. I was shocked to see only.. two people? It was obvious to see Principal Nezu. He sits down in a big chair in front of a lot of screens. Next to him is...

All Might!

I couldn't help but smile just to see his own smile. Sure, I saw him on Television. I remember him when we were teens. But in person like this after so many years. "She's here!" Present Mic and Midnight reveal me as the door shuts behind us. All Might and Nezu's eyes fall on me.

"Mirage! You made it on time!" Principal Nezu smiles as he sets his tea down. I bow quickly to them before looking back up. "You are here!" Quickly to my surprise, All Might hugs me tightly. The size difference just made the hug awkward, but much appreciated. He sets me down and moves away. "So, what are you going to be teaching?" He asks with a loud voice and a huge smile. I swallow feeling immediately awkward. Everyone is staring at me like I'm bright and new.

"Principal Nezu hasn't assigned me yet. But we'll see on Monday next week." They all nod along. "I'm sorry to ask this. Ah, I'm embarrassed!" All Might shakes his head in disappointment within himself. I tilt my head, confused. "What's wrong?"

"What's your quirk again? I should know! But you know, it's been years and we both have been here and there." He laughs it off, still looking ashamed. My quirk... I used to be so confident about my quirk. But as I grew older, met people, saved citizens, came across villains. I later became ashamed. I swallow looking around. Now everyone looks interested.

Damn it. Did they all actually forget so much about me?

"Hallucination."

A deep voice speaks up in the corner of the room. I had to squint to see who else was in the room this whole time. "Ah, Eraser! I forget you were there." Midnight giggles.

Just like that, he steps out of the corner, his hands in his pockets. His dark hair covering his face. He sighs deeply to himself before looking up at all of us. "Her quirk," he continues. His eyes shoot towards me. My body wanted to stumble by his sudden, dark stare.

"She can cause her opponent to see anything she wants them to see. She makes them hallucinate. Mirage can range anything from their vision going black or just making them blind."

I couldn't move. My eyes were glued on his. His eyes holding my trembling stare right back. "Wow.. I remember that now." All Might whispers. Midnight nods her head.
"Is that all you know?" She asks him. I clench my fists that are at my sides. Damn her.
"No, I know more. Unless she doesn't want me to continue?" He raises a brow. My lips wanted to move as my mouth wanted to speak up. But I just nod my head, my lips still sealed.

"Even though her quirk is quite powerful. She can use it to distract her targets. While they are in their panicked state of mind, she can go up and use her combat skills. This includes her hand to hand weapons. However, she has cons. She can begin to hallucinate herself if she goes too far. If she uses her ultimate move too much, she can pass out herself or have panic attacks which makes her vulnerable."

Everyone is now quiet. That's when I speak up:

"Eraserhead. Shota Aizawa, right?"

"Yes. You're Mirage. Misa Hamasaki."
