Dust floated in golden shafts of sunlight, it was still daylight. You turned a corner sharply—and nearly collided with someone.
"Whoa—!"
You stopped just short as Shinsou stepped back, barely fazed. His hands were in his pockets, captured scarf slung over his shoulder, eyes half-lidded but focused.
"You always come flying around corners like that?" Shinsou asked playfully.
"Only when I think someone might be lurking with world-ending plans. Guess I was right." You scoffed.
His mouth quirked into a dry smile.
"Not world-ending. Just... redirecting one."
He jerked his chin toward a map, marked with circles and scribbled notes. You followed him, curiosity already sparked.
"I was supposed to be on main base, but plans changed so you're going to have to fill me in on yours."
The student nodded, "We know All For One doesn't take bait unless he thinks he's in control. I'm going to give him exactly what he wants—a voice he thinks he can manipulate." He began.
Your eyes widened, "With your quirk."
He nodded, "I'll use it to lead him into a controlled zone—containment traps, countermeasures, support on standby. But he'll only chase the illusion if I make it real enough."
You let out a low whistle, genuinely impressed.
"Damn. You're starting to sound like Aizawa." You noted.
His eyes flicked to you, surprised. For a second, his usual cool mask slipped.
"...Yeah? That obvious?"
You laughed,"In a good way. Calculated. Calm. Quietly terrifying."
You nudged him with your elbow, a playful glint in your eye,"He's selective on who he trains by the way, he must've saw something in you."
Shinsou scoffed,"I guess."
You grinned and finally let out a soft chuckle, shaking your head. He grabbed the map and handed it to you, "You in on this, then?"
Grabbing it, you took a look at the location chosen for AFO. It was perfect, isolated enough to not cause immediate destruction but not too far that it would take long to get there.
"You think I'm walking away after seeing that map? No way. You've got the voice—" You smirked, "I've got the chaos."
He met your gaze—steady, grateful, and just a little amused, "Then let's mess with a monster."
"Come in, Deku isn't in sight. Do you have eyes on AFO?" Your earpiece rang.
Your eyes widened as you ran alongside the purple haired student, "Deku isn't with AFO?"
"He must be stalling, we're almost there. Once we catch sight of AFO, I need you on standby too." Shinsou quickly responded.
"But—"
"Trust me, I just need him to talk."
You looked at him, and the way his voice was firm and steady tired eyes, you knew to trust him.
