"Just what the hell are you doing here!? No-eyes!!?" Bakugo said glaring at me.
"Bakugo! You shouldn't be calling her names, especially that one!" MIna said receiving approval from everyone.
"EY? I don't care if I hurt her feelings, but what I do care about is how she's no longer on the island! Deku was whining about not seeing her and now she's suddenly here. C'MON EXTRAS USE YOUR HEADS!!!"
"Valentine," Kirishima said," What happened? Why are you in Japan and why is your hair black?"
Good questions, but too easy to answer. It was obvious they never did interrogations. They didn't even tell me to sit down anywhere so I did them a favor and sat between all of them; Girls in the back, boys in the front. The reason my hair was black was because of the quirk I took from a child Slice brought back to me when she brought my clothes. It's called Trait Change. I can change the genes of my characteristics of hair color, eye color, and skin color though, the last 2 are useless since the Womanation quirk takes my sight and I'd rather keep the pale tone.
"I don't really remember what happened, and I don't know how I got here on the mainland. And is my hair really black?" I said cupping one of my cheeks,"I didn't even notice"
"SHE'S LYING!!!" Bakugo said to get judging looks from everyone.
"Well Valentine, Yagi said your quirk was, sleeping? Try using it," Kaminari said and so I did.
I lifted up a hand and pretended to struggle to activate my quirk with a little bit of shaking and furrowing my eyebrows and after a moment of holding my breath, I let out a gasp to really sell the act.
"Sorry but see, I can't seem to use it. Do you guys know what happened?"
They all gave each other a sad look. The idea they all had was common and even Bakugo's glare softened. To them, I was now just a blind, hopeless girl.
"Valentine.....I don't think your quirk isn't going to wake up," Kaminari said.
"Excuse me?"
"Valentine.....do you know who Hisashi Midoriya is?" Todoroki said, walking over and sitting next to me on the couch," Hey, I'm Todoroki. I don't think we've formally met"
"Pleased to me you Todoroki, and about this Midoriya, no, no I've never heard of him. The island wasn't very efficient when it came to current news," I said with a smile.
"Well...do you remember the villain attack on the island?" Ochako asked," Midoriya...."
"Was the...villain," I said," He was your classmate, wasn't he?"
'This is fun' I thought seeing all their sad faces.
"He has the ability to take away quirks," Asui said,"And so....given the situation"
"He took my Smoke," I said, faking a small tear falling down my cheek. In my female form, faking emotions was much easier," Now I'm....blind and quirkless (sniff)"
"Valentine-" Todoroki said as he tried to hold my hand before I quickly stood up from the couch.
"(sniff) sorry for being (sniff) A crier," I said enjoying my own acting," I..I should go"
GRAB
"No. You're staying here," Bakugo said as he caught my wrist," What are you an idiot? You're weak and you wanna go back into the city?"
"He has a point. Why don't you stay here with us for a while," Kyoka said," we can look after you"
"Yeah! And we can even do girl things!" Mina suggested.
"I can't stay here. It'll only cause more trouble for you guys," I said wiping my tears," I'm a nobody here"
"That's not true!!" Yagi said, suddenly walking into the living space.
"Deku! I thought I said to wait till we're done!?" Bakugo glared.
"You did and looks like you're done," Yagi said before redirecting his attention towards me," Valentine. We can help with blindness. There's a support course on campus who may be able to invent something to let you see even just a bit"
"Izuku. Can you really do that?" I asked.
"Yes, we can. I've already asked a student in that course to put something together. It should be done by the morning"
"Yagi really cares about Valentine," Mina whispered to Ochako.
"Yeah. I totally see the ship," Ochako whispered back.
"Thank you Izuku (sniff) I'm sorry again for causing trouble," walking over to him and giving a hug.
'(smile) This is too easy'
"(blushing) I-I uh, y-your welcome V-Valentine," Yagi hugged back.
"OKAY!! ENOUGH WITH THIS CRAP!! GET A ROOM!!!" Bakugo shouted with small explosions in his palms.
"Hold on. What exactly is going on here?" Aizawa suddenly entered the living space," She's not in the registry"
Aizawa looked more tired than usual but at the same time a bit more lively. He stared at me as he waited for an explanation but no one said anything. Besides Bakugo, Aizawa was the one I had to watch out for the most.
"An older voice. You wouldn't happen to be their teacher Mister...?" I said.
"Aizawa, and who might you be?"
"I am a friend of your students, or at least most of your students. Bakugo doesn't like me very much"
"Mister Aizawa. This is Valentine. We met her during our special training at the island and I happened to run into her when she was in trouble," Yagi said stepping in front of me," please allow her to stay here in the dorms"
The living space became quiet and heavy, while Aizawa took his moment to glare at me while I simply smiled back. It felt as though we would stand still for ages, until Kaminari broke the silence.
"So Mr. Aizawa! How are things between you and Miss Joke?!" Kaminari asked out loud, causing Aizawa to choke on his words.
"Wha- How do you know that?" Aizawa said recovering back to his serious self.
"Oh c'mon. You still look tired but more refreshed, and you even started hanging out with her more when she came by. You guys are-" Mina said.
"No, we're not. Anyways, about Valentine. She can stay, but that's only after she gets registered into U.A's records as a civilian occupant"
"Well Mr. Aizawa, the thing is, I made a deal that she would come only for a day," Yagi scratched his cheek," She be leaving after tomorrow"
"Miss Valentine, why?" Aizawa asked.
"I have to return home after all," I said, not wanting to lie too much and end up caught in my own web.
"(sigh) Fine. If she's here for a day, she'll wear this," Aizawa said, pulling out an ID necklace that read visitor in the front," You cannot take it off at all times. You have to keep it on even while you sleep, got it Valentine?"
'A necklace..' Yagi thought.
"Understood sir," I said, walking up and taking the necklace.
"By the way, what is your full name?" Aizawa asked.
"(smile) I just use my first name," I said placing a hand in my chest," It's a family thing"
"Fine, I'm busy anyways but next time, don't just bring anyone into the school, especially now," Aizawa glared at the class," You all decide who's room she'll stay in"
'Oh no..'
"HEY!!! COME STAY WITH ME!!!" Mina shouted.
"NONO! ME!!" Mineta shouted.
"YOU IDIOT! SHE CAN'T STAY WITH A BOY!!!" Bakugo yelled.
The class was in uproar as they all slowly surrounded me. It was both uncomfortable and amusing, but it was too bad I knew who I wanted to keep an eye on.
I squeezed my way out of the crowd to see Yagi waiting by the stairs that led to the rooms.
"Izuku~," I said.
"Valentine. Sorry, they can be uh, a handful when it comes to new people," Yagi said awkwardly smiling.
"I know silly, trust me.....I know. Anyways, let's go!" I said pulling on his arm.
"Woah, go where!?"
"To your room. You're the only one here that has most of my trust," I said dragging him up the stairs.
"(blush) W-wait! Wouldn't you rather stay with one of the girls?! I mean, I am a boy after all"
"And? You're my friend so that's all that matters"
....
"Wow Izuku, I feel like I'm stepping over a lot of clothes here. You're room is pretty messy isn't it?"
"(BLUSH) W-well, you know, t-training and all. We've been busy these days to get stronger," Yagi said nervously, twirling his thumbs on his bed.
Now that I think about it, Yagi was a fanboy of his own father. This to me wasn't necessarily weird but it was something to take note of. He loved his dad. I wouldn't decorate my room with Nana, well not like they actually made merch for her.
"Getting stronger? Say, can you tell me more about this um...Midoriya," I said sitting next to him on the bed.
"About Midoriya," Yagi said almost depressingly," Well, he was a really nice guy and friend. He has white hair, pale skin and was tall like maybe 6'1? I never asked because it didn't matter since he always stood tall"
'Is this really how I displayed myself?'
"Oh? You sound like he was a good person, so why did he become a villain?"
"........I think, we had something to do with it," Yagi said looking down as scarred arms," The last time we met, was on the island and when I did see him I tried to talk things out for I believe we could've helped but after he got away, I realized that we were trying to fulfill what we wanted and not think about what he wanted"
"Do you know what he wants?"
"I'm...not sure right now. I can't seem to understand why he wants to be a villain, why he took Eri and why he refuses to receive help"
"I'm sure he must have a reason if you all care for him so much"
"And that's that part that frustrates me! He won't give a clear answer. To become a symbol of evil? World peace? He can do it as a hero-" Yagi said quickly, covering his mouth.
'I've said too much,' Yagi thought.
It must've been because I was in my female form, but I felt a bit sad for the class. I took a moment to rethink how I failed to make the class stronger. Yes, their quirks and abilities have gotten better but power is not pulled from their quirks but from the spirit. Yagi should know this the best, since he pulled power from the wills of One For All's past users.
And the worst part was how they still cling to me, holding on to a thin line of a spider's silk representing hope. They needed to let go and the best way to do that was to make them feel hatred.....but who can I kill to make him hate me?
I looked around the room and stared at all the All Might posters as I evilly smiled to myself.\\
'Perfect. If Yagi is angry, the class will follow'
"Sorry I dropped this all on you Valentine," Yagi apologized sweating a ocean," I-uh- I"
"It's okay Izuku," I said holding his face," You've helped me understand a few more things"
"(blush) L-like what?"
"You don't need to know, now....Dream," I said watching his eyes become heavy and his body slump over onto his bed.
Quirk; Dream, by making physical contact with the head of the person, I am able to place the target under a deep sleep and manipulate the dream they have. This will also cause confusion within the person to be unable to recall exact events that happened before the effect. The dreams can be very detailed and real sensations like being burnt can be felt but that requires more concentration. Drawbacks, headaches.
'Commu'
<Toga. Toga you there?> I asked inside her head.
<Yup! Toga is here, Hisa-chan. Where'd you go?>
<Sorry, but I won't be back tomorrow. I'll get straight to the point. I have a job for you and Slice>
<A mission?! YAY!!!>
<You can call it that, now, this is your task....>
'Dream about your father a little more Yagi' I thought as I laid his head down and tucked him in,'Thank you Yagi, for being the strongest, and easiest tool to use'
THE NEXT MORNING
'....What happened...Did I fall asleep?.....WAIT!? VALENTINE!?' Yagi thought as his eyes shot open and he bursted out of bed only to trip over something on the floor.
"Ouch.." Yagi heard as he flipped himself over from his stomach to see his legs over Valentine that he woke up.
"Why are you in a rush? You don't have school today," Valentine said, yawning, then hugging the pillow she was laying on.
"(blush) V-V-Valentine! I'm sorry for waking you," Yagi said, getting up to his feet.
"It's no problem. You can make it up to me later"
"Sure. What would you like?"
"You can show me around campus," Valentine said, getting up from the bare floor and stretching a bit.
'She looks good in those shorts- STOP! Stop it now!' Yagi internally yelled.
"I'm kinda hungry," Valentine said smiling at Yagi," Say, what should we eat"
"I-I'm sure Yaoyorozu is making breakfast like she usually does," Yagi said, walking over and opening his room's door," Let's go!"
Yagi dragged Valentine by the hand as he led her down the stairs where they were already hit by a wave of delicious aromas of a morning breakfast. The class had already gathered all about the living space and kitchen where Momo was cooking, while Shoji and Tokoyami were setting up plates.
'I wonder what Valentine likes?' Yagi wondered.
"Oh! Hey Valentine and Yagibro!" Kirishima said greeting us with a plate stacked high with pancakes," How did you 2 sleep~"
"(BLUSH) Wha- Kirishima!" Yagi whined.
"I slept well, though the floor was a bit cold at times," Valentine smiled, making Yagi feel bad for letting her sleep on the floor.
"No way! Yagibro! You made her sleep on the floor!?" Kirishima shook his head disapprovingly," Not very manly of you"
"I-I, uh I fell asleep!" Yagi said," Sorry Valentine!"
"It's fine. I don't mind at all," Valentine smiled more.
"AH! There she is!" Mina said walking up to Valentine," C'mon, the girls are this way!"
"Haha, okay Mina. Bye Izuku," Valentine said, waving the wrong way.
'The new specs should help her see better,' Yagi smiled as Valentine was helped back into the kitchen by the girls.
"I see you Yagibro," Kirishima nudged," Well, you did like her during our island training"
"Hmm," Yagi hummed an answer," I just like the way she is"
"You told us before, but why do you like her?" Kirishima asked as they both watched the new person smile and laugh with the other girls, while they bathed in the sunlight that came through the window.
"I....I like her spirit. Back on the island, I wasn't sure how I felt but now I know. Despite being blind, she said she liked that about her, and she said it was like a filter to find the right person and I thought that was an amazing way to think about it. It makes me think that she has the heart of a hero too"
"I see. Wow man, you're in love"
"(blush) Yeah...maybe...."
"Didn't she have white hair before? Now it's black"
"Yeah, I've noticed. I think it's an effect of having her quirk stolen," Yagi said," But either way, she still amazing"
"Izuku!!!" Valentine suddenly said walking into the living area away from Yagi," I made you breakfast. Well, Yaoyorozu did but I'm taking credit!"
The girls laughed at Valentine's humoured joke.
"Yeah...still amazing"
WITH ERI
"Mommy Toga. Mommy Slice. You're leaving?" Eri asked, looking up at the 2 getting ready.
"Sorry Eri, but your daddy had given us a mission," Toga crouched down and smiled," It will be quick okay?"
"Eri, while we're gone Chimera will be watching over you," Slice said as the sound of heavy footprints was heard, walking down the dark hallway they stood in.
"So that's All For One's brat?" Chimera said, finally getting into Eri's view towering over the girls," Are you sure a monster like me should be watching over a little girl? She's just going to run away"
"Oh don't worry Chimera, she's more accepting than you might think," Toga said as she and Slice chuckled and walked past Chimera down the hall," Eri! Don't be too rough playing"
'Rough? How's this kid going to be-'
"RINNEGAN!!!" Eri said as suddenly, Chimera felt the weight of her pull," Come here teddy bear!"
"The hell!? How's she so strong!?" Chimera said as he clawed to the sides of the slim hallway to keep himself from being pulled," And I am NOT a teddy bear. I obviously have the head of a wolf!"
"Wolfy!!!" Eri said pulling in Chimera with a greater force.
'I can't...hold...on!!'
....
"You think we should've left Eri with him? What if Chimera hurts her?" Slice asked Toga as they stood on top of a building that let them see U.A. at a distance.
"We should be worried if we should've left Chimera with her," Toga grinned," She not only had a powerful quirk, but she also had a special kind of blood and her father is Hisa-chan"
"Well, I guess she is All For One's daughter. Anyways, remind me what our mission is"
"Of course. Hisa-chan wants us to kidnap a few people for him and thanks to your scouts and the information they brought in, we have all the information we need to pull it off," Toga said as she pulled out 4 photos," First we have the sister of Todoroki, Fuyumi Todoroki; Then we have pro hero, Miss Joke"
"A pro hero? Why would he want her?" Slice asked as he examined the photo of Joke.
"It's best not to question his orders, Slice," Toga waved her knife.
"Yeah, well then, who's next?"
"Next we have the new skeleton All Might"
"All Might!!? But he's located in U.A."
"Not all the time. This came from Hisa-chan himself. He said that All Might would leave the campus around 6 pm today and head toward a place that sells meat buns, but we'll have to be pretty quick with the first 2 if we're gonna catch him, since he's undoubtedly going to do his best to return to the school as fast as he can"
"I see. It won't be a problem then. Even though the community is in disarray, traffic is still a problem near the meat bun place. A simple incident could hold it up for hours"
"That's great! That will make it easier to snatch him, but this last target may be a little tricky," Toga said, pulling out the photo for Slice to see.
"(glare) Miss Rias, or also known as, the head of the Hero Association," Slice said looking down at the photo.
"Ooo, you seem to have something personal with her Slice," Toga noticed.
"I do. My best friend was locked up because of her"
"Another villain," Toga smiled," Tell me about her!!!"
"She was a former pro hero. Why was she locked up? I don't know since all the information was said that she killed another hero but I know exactly what happened. She didn't kill another hero but she did kill the last Head of the Hero Association"
"WOW! She must be a killer like us. Say, if she joins us, I'm sure Hisa-chan would love that!"
"Nah, I don't think she would join us. Last time I saw her, she said she might retire as a hero, from all the killing"
"Oh...What was her name?"
"Her name?....Well, she went by Lady Nagant"
