The Emerald Prince

Chapter 111: Cures

Sorry for that cliff hanger, have this a day early as an apology!

Izuku watched as a smile, a cruel one, grew on Tomura's face.
That expression was all he needed to know Tomura was not in a cooperative or generous mood. It also broke his heart a little, but he shoved the emotions away. He was running out of space to put them though.

The leader of LoV opened his mouth no doubt to completely ruin his plan, and Izuku immediately used his modified version of Shinsou's quirk to take control.
He saw the realisation on Shigaraki's face, then the eyes dulled a little and the man smirked. "Who's the slutty NPC, Overhaul?"

"That I'm about to find out," bit Chisaki, and shifted his attention to the silver haired man surreptitiously wiping lipstick from his mouth. "Kurono?"
Choronstasis swallowed and began his explanation, whilst Izuku's mind wandered, "He..."

Izuku's first kiss may have been with a client, but that was part of the deal. Most of his latter ones were practices with other prostitutes.
People worked in the sex industry for a variety of reasons... though it was rarely a 'calling'. However, that didn't mean that quirks weren't involved. Obviously people with good looks were more successful and that was the same for quirks that aided them.

Over his year off grid, Izuku had collected several attraction, lust and emotion manipulating quirks among others, and this was his first opportunity to use them since forcing love or attraction had always felt wrong to him. Keeping some of his mind focused on making sure Shigaraki was behaving normally, he activated a few select quirks and watched them slowly take effect on Overhaul.

The man had a slight sheen of sweat by the time Chronostasis finished his explanation, and had minutely adjusted his coat to cover his groin, though his expression remained impressively bored. "Shigaraki, test your quirk on... on him."

Shigaraki scowled, "I am not one of your underlings."
Overhaul mirrored his irritated expression, "very well."
He knelt and removed a glove.
Izuku took a deep breath and activated his modified version of Shigaraki's quirk, as a tentacle of steel rose from the concrete at Overhaul's feet, and shot straight at him.

Pretending you could nullify quirks was surprisingly challenging thought Izuku as the tentacle reached his outstretched palm and disintegrated on impact, crumpling back to the floor as harmless grains of metallic sand.
He had to use a strength enhancing quirk of his own development to make it appear like the impact didn't affect him, had to continually heal his hand so it didn't look like the concrete hitting his palm was damaging him, had to keep the attraction quirks running, control Tomura, and had to maintain a look of complete nonchalance as he did so.

He causally turned his head to look away from Chisaki and met the gazes of Tengai and Nemoto, "he's hot."
They stared at him in disbelief and then past him in even more shock, turning his head, he found Overhaul frozen and blushing. Considering the amount of quirks acting on him, the reaction was impressively mild.

"What?" Said Izuku smiling slightly, "think I'm pretty?"
He batted his eyelashes and tilted his head, letting his curly hair fall like a silky curtain seductively off his shoulder.
Overhaul swallowed, adjusting his jacket a bit more, and shifted a little on his feet.

"I will leave you to your new pet, Overhaul. I have other business." Growled Shigaraki distainfully.
The brown haired man couldn't look away from Izuku. "Nemoto, Tengai, guide Shigaraki to the exit, kurono... you should go update Mimic on my- our... new guest."

There was a pause, then the trio nodded and Shigaraki left with them, still under Izuku's control. The three underlings staring at the greenette in awe as they left the room.
