I Am Not Number Seven (TUA/MHA Crossover)

3. Vanya: Exposed

Vanya said a quick goodbye to her sibling as she and Allison headed to their side of the manor, girls were in the west wing and boys were in the east wing. Reginald didn't care for "fraternizing," as he put it, and separated the students by gender. On the bright side, Academy members that didn't identify with the gender they were born as could switch whenever they wanted to the side that felt most comfortable to them. Vanya's father was a bastard but he didn't care about things like gender that had no impact on the student's physical and quirk training, so... perks? The girl was a bit confused about the situation, Reginald had control of the student's entire lives yet was indifferent about their personal identities. He chose the oddest things to care about.

She and Allison reached the elevator, both of them reaching for the 'up' button at the same time, stopping when they saw the other. "Oh, sorry," Allison stammered, flustered.

Vanya pressed the button while her sister was apologizing, "It's ok." she replied, plainly. They waited in silence for a few, tense moments for the elevator before the curly-haired sister spoke again, "Vanya, I-"

Ding!

The elevator opened, a group of girls from the class below them spilling out. They were laughing but quickly stopped when they saw the pair. Vanya recognized the girl in front of the group because of the wire protruding from her head, a result of her lie-detector quirk. "Vanya, Allison!" she exclaimed, "Congrats, guys! You're officially graduates now, right?"

The dark-haired girl shook her head in agreement while Allison responded, "Yep, we're done." with a smile. The lightbulb at the end of the wire on the younger girl's head turned green, a sign that what the curly-haired girl said was true. Vanya absentmindedly wondered if her quirk made friendships harder or easier. The ability to lie was neither good nor bad, it depended on how it was used, but to remove it completely from a relationship between two friends was a concept she was not sure she could handle. The younger girl sighed, "You're so lucky, I can't wait until my class graduates." The girls behind her murmured in agreement. Vanya gave her a sympathetic smile and patted the side of her upper arm, "Hang in there, it's only one more year."

The younger girl shrugged, ignoring the green light flashing on the wire at the older student's statement, "Guess so." Then glanced at the clock above the elevator, eyes widened before returning to the sisters, "We better go, we have evening practice. Congrats again, we'll be cheering you on from here!" she said with a fist pump. Allison and Vanya thanked her before saying goodbye to the girls and watching them run down the hallway to the atrium. The pair ducked into the elevator but this time, Allison didn't make a move for the elevator buttons and just watched as her sister pressed the button for the seventh floor. They stood in silence as the doors closed and the elevator began to move.

"So..." Vanya began awkwardly, "What were you going to say before?"

"Oh, um," Allison sputtered, "It's nothing, don't worry about it."

The dark-haired sister turned and gave her a look, which Allison carefully avoided by turning the other way. Vanya scoffed and hit the emergency stop button, jerking the elevator to a stop. Allison stumbled, catching herself on the wall, "What the hell, Vanya?!" she gasped, facing the pale girl.

Vanya turned to her, "You're not doing this, not today." she said sharply, making a cutting motion with her hand. The brown-eyed girl looked surprised but quickly hid it with a neutral face, "I just don't want to fight when we don't have much time left." she sighed. Vanya leaned against the elevator wall, "Okay, then. I promise I won't get mad." she said easily. The other sister bit her lip in thought, "You say that but you don't even know what I'm gonna say."

The dark-eyed girl groaned and dropped her head against her shoulder, "Allison, seriously. I promise I won't get mad." she vowed, crossing her arms. The brown-skinned girl took a deep breath, "Fine, I was just wondering... do you think we'll still love each other anymore after we're separated?"
