"Mikuko!" Miho's voice snapped out harshly. "Start at the beginning and tell us what's going on!"

"I was offered money by locating the significance between quirks and their users appearance." Mikuko turned around, crossed her arms and glared at Miho as she leaned against the table 'Zhen' was working at. "I was then tasked with finding the rarest appearances. I discovered Albinos, a rarity even before quirks appeared, became even rarer. Now an albino can only be discovered by the color of their irises. Bright scarlet or also known as pink." Mikuko gave Gang Orca look. "That includes you Mr. Gang Orca. I know your albino because orcas have black eyes not red eyes. Thus you're albino."

"What other rarities did you discover?" Gang Orca asked, ignoring the tidbit about himself.

"Amongst all the colors and their combinations, green is also very rare." Mikuko shrugged carelessly, "green hair in particular is extremely rare. To find someone with green hair AND eyes is rarer than scarlet eyes. We call these people 'cyan', it makes things easier to track them."

"You said the attack on Takumi Memorial Water Museum was planned," the sidekick asked. "Does that mean...you were in on it?"

"I'm just a researcher," Mikuko rolled her eyes, "not my fault I'm smart enough to put two and two together."

"You gave them Inko Midoriya's information!" Miho hissed, realizing suddenly what Mikuko was saying.

"Do you think I'm their only researcher?" Mikuko asked, "These people have high seats and deep pockets. Whoever they are, you're never going to catch them by chasing little old me."

"Who is Greenbrae?" Gang Orca asked, "you mentioned him. Who is he?"

"Greenbrae is one of the most dangerous men in the underworld." Mikuko answered, "if you come across a man in a bird mask, RUN. Do not, under any circumstance, engage. You'll only die."

"What does he want?" Gang Orca asked, "what is he looking for?"

"Us, we cyans," Zhen answered, turning his seat around to reveal his face. He was quite handsome looking, with a chiseled square face, almond eyes, straight nose and flat chin. However, he had a horrendous scar covering half his face, as if it had been burned off and new skin had been slapped down in place. His hair was cropped short but its dark jade hue couldn't be hidden. Nor could his bright bottle-green irises be hidden in the dim room, even if his left eye was more silver then green do to the damage it sustained.

"Zhen is a survivor of the cyan gathering, same as Mimi." Mikuko informed them. "Whoever Greenbrae is looking for, he won't be kind to them. All we know is that they have green hair and eyes."

"He's the reason behind the search for the cyans," someone else said as they dug their way through a chip bag.

"Are you saying he's after Inko-Chan?" Miho asked, feeling terror squeeze at her heart.

"I don't know but it's possible," Mikuko answered. "All I know is that Greenbrae discovered thirty-seven people with green hair and eyes."

"Just in Japan? I guess it's not as rare as you were making be believe," the sidekick sighed in relief.

"Across the world," Zhen corrected. "Thirty-seven across the world. I only in China. So no. Not just Japan. Japan only three. The Midoriya family."

"Make that two," another pipped up, his voice low and gruff from lack of use. "They got the girl, remember?"

"Thirty-seven so far," someone to the further right app. "it's only been three years. imagine how many cyans we'll find in another three or four." grumbling came from the others, some in agreement others in discontent.

"You mentioned twins," Miho started, her breath increasing as the puzzle pieces started to fall in place. "But...se-settled-"

"Settled for girl, yes," Zhen agreed. "Girl saved brother and true albino. Got caught herself. She strong. Very strong."

"Twins?" Miho murmured, "Izuku-kun has a twin?"

"Yes," Zhen answered, raising his good eyebrow in question. "Not rare, nope, not for cyans. All identical. These first gender-differ."

"I did more research on cyans. By our calculations there's about a forty-eight percent chance of twins occurring during pregnancy. There's also an eighty-seven percent chance of them being born female. We know this because out of the thirty-seven found, only five were male."

"Quirk strongest in girls, yes?" Zhen said, not really asking as he turned back around and fiddled away on his computer.

"We also discovered that cyans are prone to 'atomic attraction' or 'cellular attraction'." Mikuko continued. "This trait is particularly strong in females. So far the males have not shown any signs of this quirk."

"Only me!" Zhen quipped cheerfully.

"Zhen, as one of the five discovered males, does have a quirk but its considerably weaker in comparison." Mikuko patted Zhen's head and smiled as he snickered at her explanation. "Zhen can detect things on a cellular level but he's not cable of manipulating them like his female counterparts can. He's basically a living lie detector."

"Can't do any-else," Zhen chuckled.

"So...what are you saying? Cellular attraction? Atomic attraction?" The Sidekick was confused and lost on the information just spewed at him.

"The attraction of small items," Mimi spoke up, rising from her seat to reveal own unique green features. "Zhen and I escaped together before we arrived at the camp. So we don't know where the others are." Mimi rose a hand and one of the pens from a fellow researcher flew through the air and into her hand. "We can only attract small items, under a certain weight and within a certain range, towards ourselves. But more often than not we can only do this attraction towards our hands as attracting the items anywhere else may cause us pain."

"Most can't do anything more than move toys or books." Mikuko continued. Mimi crossed her arms and glared at the floor.
