The Wolf prowling across dimensions by Pandora's Reader
 Highschool of the Dead & My Hero Academia/僕のヒーローアカデミア Xover Rated: M, English, Family & Adventure, [OC, Rika M., Shizuka M., Saeko B.], Words: 820k+, Favs: 1k+, Follows: 1k+, Published: Nov 17, 2021 Updated: Nov 9 779Chapter 80: Hee hee, I'm in danger
Pandoras_Supporter and all that, again. $1 a month gets you put up here. I'll probably do it in the bottom AN section too if I feel like it.
Thanks to Scifighter for supporting me.
Would you believe I wrote this chapter all in the same day? It was cool. Anyway, this is the last ch I have done, though I'm already 7k words into the next chapter, so I'll probably put that one up after it's done.
Whenever I write Saya, I end up involuntarily going on tangents to explain what she's been doing, and what she plans to do. I feel like other then Maccillian and Shizuka, she's my favorite to write, partially because she writes herself.
Also, this omake is going to be special. It will be important for a future plot line.
Dragon Fighter - Thanks. Like I said before, I want to give the feeling that Maccillian is just a normal dude that likes to have his fun. He's not power hungry, so he's not going to go out looking for something to fight for its power. He likes chilling and having fun, so he'll do that.
Dragon Slayer - *Whistles in this chapter.* And a bit back, in the chapter where Izuku notes everyone's abilities, I have him mention that Rika put down Muscular, and bragged about it to him when it came up on the news. So the Water Hose duo is alive and well.
OneOddTod - Thanks. You too I guess?
Kaiser - Could you be... One of my people?
CountOrlok777 - I... Did know that. Interesting.
Kenji - Adopting Amy sounds partially interesting, and sort of difficult. Now, because of GG's whole Master aura, I'd imagine Amy would rather choke a bitch then leave. Sure, aura and turning into a member of the Silver clan could fix that, but then there's the whole 'heroes have to help people' thing she had shoved down her throat, and it would be hard to see her take well to a group of Werewolves and goddesses that don't mind Saeko, Rika or Maccillian offing dudes if they felt like it. Add that to the fact we'd have 3 healers, it might be redundant to have her. Besides, aside from Mami, when we get there, I have an idea of when and how, I don't know who else to adopt. I want 1 more aside from Mami, though I'm not sure who, and if Amy would fit. Also, wifing The Simurgh is both a highly amusing thought, and something I could see Maccillian going 'eh, fuck it, why not?'Though, I'm not, so ehhh.
{Saya's POV. One week later}
"She's a hellion. A demon straight outta hell." Said hellion somehow heard me, and laughed as she ran out of my lab, and up to the main house... With my top in hand. I sighed at that, and just created an aura copy of my top. "Note to self, kick Rika in the pussy for helping her be even sneakier then before." I didn't hear her laugh louder, so she didn't hear that. "Good... Little demon child." Now, I knew we almost were the same age, but Toga just didn't act it. Kinda like Zaka. Though, he had a valid excuse as to why. Toga was just Toga for the fuck of it.
Not that I really minded, I didn't. The little demon was far too amusing to have around, and was a good girl when she and Lili weren't pranking each other or anyone else, and you peeled away the Q.I.P.P.E. Otherwise known as the Quirk Induced Personality and/or Physiological Evolution. The trio of Athena, Shizuka and I were interested in that subject, especially about how something like that could really happen. From what the two of them have worked out so far, they've determined a few things about said subject.
Firstly, while quirks had evolved over the course of the two centuries and some change that they've existed for, humanity has evolved as well. Something I've noticed in Izuku, that despite his Quirkless status, has something that could be considered a quirk... Just one that all of humanity shares. Somehow, humans evolved to better adapt to a multitude of things. Physical stress/training, resistance to the elements/other forces, and a few other things. It was fascinating when they brought up their findings, and made us wonder. 'Was there a quirk BEFORE the Golden Baby?' History, their history, focused so much on said child, that it was ridiculous. Not all quirks were the flashy 'Emitter' types. Hell, All Might himself has to flip a switch to go into his muscle form.
So, the four of us, Nezu was VERY interested in our theory and contributed towards it when we weren't working on our Scrapper, which was now perfected at the moment and was now focused on Glinthawk's, the bird version of the Scrapper. That project was going well, since we now knew what systems and changes worked for the Scrapper, and could be applied to the Glinthawk's. (Besides, when we finish the Glinthawk's, and our patent for them goes through, we can start selling them. Those two are going to bring in SO much money. God's, the funding that'll earn me is ridiculous! And we haven't even STARTED on the Snapmaw's! All that money... God's I'm almost drooling just thi...-) I slapped my cheeks, noticing that I just went on a tangent completely unrelated to what I was thinking about before. (Don't get distracted idiot! First quirk! Go!)
Anyway, we theorized there were quirk(s) BEFORE the Golden Baby. And if not plural, then a singular quirk. We theorized that it worked similar to a pandemic. The first person was the carrier, who then spread it by interacting with people, who then also 'contracted' it. From there, it covered the world, giving humanity as a collective, the quirk factor, and their first quirk. Going through the records, we discovered an interesting trend. From the years 2010-2030, the national averages for children, national teams, and even those that competed in the Olympics, all showed substantial improvements. Then, in the year 2032, the Golden Baby was born. The years following were the quirk boom, which would then eventually lead into now. It was all fascinating really, and Athena and Nezu seemed to be going full throttle to gather information to finish their theory, and publish it as a thesis. Shizuka and I didn't really care about that, I cared more about building my machines, their dedicated AI's, and working with my magic to care, and Shizuka was Shizuka. She was too busy doting on Toga, Eri, and Lili to care about fame or recognition.
As I shaped my notes pertaining to the subject, I hummed as I reread what we had deduced from both Izuku, and a sample of Quirkless people whose blood samples were obtained by Recovery Girl, after we traded a Youth Potion to her. Our findings were worth spending a day in a room with plants. "For them, and the well deserved fuck session Zaka and I had... Hmm... Zaka and I haven't had much alone time recently now that I think about it... I'll drag him out for a date later. That'll be fun." Nodding at that, I zoned back into our notes. "Conclusive data points to a shared 'quirk' ingrained in the DNA of both Quirkless and Quirked humans. Full capabilities yet to be identified, however, testing has given us several proven results. Firstly, a somewhat accelerated healing factor. Nowhere near ours as Werewolves, but injuries that would've taken a month back in our birth dimension seem to heal in two weeks maximum. Secondly, faster rate of adaption. Physical exercise seems to have a more noticeable affect and is more effective in these times then back in our birth dimension. Thirdly, outside affects such as the elements and quirks can be resisted with constant exposure. Finally, enhanced durability. These humans, Homo - Datum, have thicker and denser bones, more efficient musculature, and internal organs."*
Those findings were unbelievable to not only us, but the natives as well. They seemed to focus so much on their quirks, which to be fair, if I could shoot fire out of my ass, then I'd focus on that too. But because Shizuka and I came from before a pre-quirk era, we questioned their physiques, and found those results. They were probably worth a prize of some kind, but again, I didn't really care.
Anyway, lapping back to Toga and her Q.I.P.P.E. Her quirk changed her body to not only be able to drink but sustain herself off of any blood type like a vampire, a fact that gave Rika, Saeko, the Miyamoto's, Rappa, and Zaka, infinite amusement that Werewolves adopted a vampire. (I mean, yes, it IS funny, but it's been a WEEK! I'm over it already!) And I really was, but they weren't. The children that they were.
Again, back to Toga.
The process wasn't just physical either. Her instincts as well as her thought process were altered too. Toga isn't afraid of blood, nor is she scared of killing. Her quirk requires blood, and the fresher it is as well as the more she has works the best. Therefore, her mindset was molded into not seeing anything wrong with getting her hands dirty. In her own words, 'making em bleed is fun, and even makes me a little tingly.' Now, was that a psychopathic thing to say? Fucking course it was. Was it her fault? No. Her instincts and psychological state are attributed to her quirk. You can't have a quirk focused around blood as a trigger, if you're Hemophobic. It didn't help either that her parents shunned her for her quirk, and tried to get her into quirk therapy for it.
I hummed as I thought about that. ('Therapy.' Pfft, fucking idiots.'We think you're a monster, be normal!' Again, fucking idiots.) It was a wonder Toga wasn't a mass murderer with how her parents and society treated her. Repressing her instincts, and natural craving to use her quirk, only made Toga break. Granted, the little demon is fun to have around, but she didn't act her age, nor see the world in a healthy manner... Not that the second point mattered. Saeko literally killed two men when she retrieved Toga, and none of us care. Though, we kept that from Recovery Girl, All Might, and Izuku. Anyway, Toga's quirk. I let out a scoff when she described how people saw it. ('Villainous quirk.' Dumb fucks. That's like calling a Blacksmith a genocidal maniac for making weapons. I swear, people today are just as ignorant as those back in our birth dimension.) It really was.
Hearing how she was raised, Saeko almost snuck away to go deal with them, but Toga just went 'pfft, fuck em.' And that stopped her... For that day. Saeko killed em the day after. Yet another pair of bodies that will never be found, and that the good guys will never know about. Oh well.
Though, there was another thing I was interested about in our resident hellion's physiology. After she drank Saeko's blood, Zaka's too because he just wanted to see what would happen, something interesting happened. Toga told us Saeko's blood was cold, while Zaka's was like drinking hot sauce, which she loved for some ungodly reason. Anyway, the interesting thing was that she was not only gaining enhancements comparable to us, as Werewolves which would fade after she went to sleep, she was also absorbing their mana when she drank. Now, she couldn't DO anything with it, but when her clock reset, the mana didn't leave her system. Instead, it seemed to be integrating itself with her.
This was obviously something we've never dealt with, since we haven't literally injected mana into a native, All Might and Recovery Girl didn't count since the process of making their potions cleansed said potions of Zaka's pure mana, so they were fine. Meanwhile, Toga's body seemed to be strengthening itself, and passively absorbing the ambient mana in the house. She wasn't going to be flinging any spells yet, but in a few months? Probably. "Gods... That hellion is going to be a menace when she starts using magic, I just KNOW it." As if she heard me, DESPITE BEING TWO FLOORS AWAY, Toga's maniacal laughter filled my ears. I shivered at that, and decided to think about anything else.
Anyway, the Glinthawk project was coming along great, Toga had took to our family like a fish to water, and the thesis my lady and Nezu were working on was coming together. Though, that wasn't enough to distract me from the hellion, so I tried to think about something else, and was failing. There was my date idea with Zaka, but if I brought it up, he'd just think for a moment, then have an idea about where to go. So thinking about it wasn't really worth it. "Though, what else can I thi..." I heard the doorbell go off, and focused my hearing upwards. It wasn't that difficult, and in moments, I could hear our visitor. When I figured out who it was, I grinned. "I love my luck.
Hearing Eri open the door, and welcome 'Uncle Izu' in, I could only hum as I waited for my assistant to make his way to my lab. Izuku was doing good, and proving himself a valuable assistant and friend. At the rate he was going, I was sure he would pass my trail when the time came.
I already knew what my trial would be, so there wasn't any need to plan for it, which just left me to wait for him to get down to my lab... Which was taking a bit longer then usual. I could hear him make his way down, but for some reason, he seemed sluggish. I heard his steps, how off they sounded, and narrowed my eyes. (I swear to gods.) I wasn't stupid, but I was going to wait to see him myself before I jumped to conclusions.
So I waited.
And a minute later, Izuku was walking into my lab, looking noticeably harried and subdued. When he walked in, he froze, and met my gaze. We stared at each other, and I took the moment to take in his posture, and examine him. There were small signs, and when I say small, I mean VERY small signs that something was wrong with him. He was breathing in a way that reduced how far his chest expanded, seemed to be favoring his entire left side over his right, in a way that somehow seemed natural, and had a tired look in his eyes. I also didn't miss a certain smell on him either. It didn't help his case that that he still wore baggy clothes, not giving me a chance to see his bare chest. I knew that was a thing with him, never letting us see what lay beneath, but now...
(Not anymore.) Now was finally time for me to stop waiting for him to tell me. He'd already earned a spot as a friend, and as my friend, I wouldn't stand by as he suffered. So, I got up, and walked over to him. As I did, I saw him flinch for a moment, but hold his ground. It was interesting, since he'd probably have been cowering a bit if this was before he started working/training here.
When I stood in front of him, I reached for his shirt, and surprisingly, he tried to stop me. Tried being the keyword. I glared at him, and bared my teeth, making him freeze, and continued. I raised his shirt, and undershirt, up and took in his chest. Well, I tried, since he had bandages wrapped around them. But after I used a claw to tear them off, that's when I took in the damage. And when I did, I just took a moment to STARE. (Son a BITCH!) His chest had numerous scars, all shaped like an explosive had gone off against him. The biggest was one that took up his entire right pectoral, while the rest looked to be fist sized, and the smallest being bullet sized. His oldest scar looked YEARS if not a decade old, while the others looked months if not a few years old, but still younger then that big one. But that wasn't all, since he had bruises littering his body, bruises that were still healing... I gave him a look, and watched as he shuddered. "Midoriya." He shivered as I said his name, entirely serious. But he kept matching my gaze, and that was good. "You have one chance and one chance only to lead me to whoever did this. If you don't, I will follow your scent from today, and hunt whoever did this down. Am I understood, Midoriya?"
He stared at me, and I watched as conflict erupted in his eyes. He even bit his lip, and took time to actually think about it. I didn't like that, and seeing his reaction as I frowned, didn't make me like it even more. Kohta and I have been talking about this issue, he wanted to take his time with Izuku and work together. I didn't, I wanted to deal with his bully. I even had a suspicion about Midoriya being emotionally compromised, which made me want to deal with em more. I didn't LIKE that theory, but it looked like I might've been right. Thankfully, after a few more seconds, he let out a tense breath, and slowly nodded. "Yes, Takagi-senpai..." Good boy.
I let go of his shirts, took a step back, and nodded. "Good. Now. Are you going to lead me to who did that? Or do I need to hunt them down with the full might of my Grimm?" He had a full body shudder at that, knowing that not only was I serious, but that my Grimm were true monsters that I could and would unleash at will. (Granted, the heroes wouldn't just let me roll down the street with a legion of Beowolves, Sabyrs, Manticore, Sea Feilong, Dragons, and whatever the fuck I feel like summoning at that moment... Not that they could stop me. The only ones that could stop me if I decided to destroy the world are my pack, so they're fucked either way.)
The fact I could conquer the world if I so chose aside, Izuku hesitated for another moment, but nodded. "Can I... Can I just ask for one thing?" I hummed, but decided to humor him, so I nodded. He relaxed at that, and gave me a small smile. "Can you go easy on him? For my sake senpai?" Excuse me?
I blinked, then narrowed my eyes at him. "Are you serious?" I knew he was, I could see it in his eyes, and the way he spoke, but I just had to say it. Izuku didn't back down or flinch as I said that, and just gave me a nod. I didn't understand why, or where the sudden courage to ask that came from, but I just scowled. "Fine. Go let Shizuka heal you, I'm going to get dressed." Another nod, and he was out of my lab. I just took a moment to sigh, and look in the direction I heard him go. (You foolish idiot. You're too nice for your own damn good... At least he didn't say not to hurt the guy, so I can go vent on his bully for a bit.) That thought, I nodded, and made my way to my room. I had an outfit to put on, and a bully to beat the shit out of.
{10 minutes later}
With the both of us ready, and Izuku looking noticeably better, we left the house, and started making our way towards his tormentor. Though, as we did, I wondered about a few things. "Hey Midoriya." Looking over to me, he didn't flinch or cower back, probably because I didn't sound like I wasn't going to chew him out. "Why didn't you go see Shizuka first thing when you came over?" If he had, I wouldn't have started this whole thing.
My assistant/friend winced at that, but answered nonetheless. "Usually, I wait till after a session with Komuro-kun. It gives me a valid reason to be healed, and gets rid of my wounds at the same time." I blinked at that, and realized that not only was that a viable plan, it was what he was doing ever since he came here. Granted, it was a good plan that has been working for him, but it was also kind of fucked up.
I looked at him at that, REALLY looked, and asked something else. "And how has Hirano, Komuro, or Shizuka, NOT found that out?" Those three should've been able to tell, but the fact none of them had brought it up, or stormed out to beat the dog fuck out of his bully, spoke to the fact they didn't know the extent of his wounds. That was astounding. Kohta easily spent hours with him, and while he recognized the signs of being bullied, he somehow didn't notice the injuries? Then there was Takashi, who regularly trained with him, and somehow didn't notice? Then there was Shizuka. She was HIGHLY perceptive when she wanted to be, so the fact she didn't pick up his injuries was suspicious to me.
Izuku awkwardly scratched his cheek, and looked away. "I'm... I'm good at hiding the pain. Years of bullying makes me an old hat at it, ahaha..."
I gave him a dry look at that, and he scratched his cheek some more. "Stick to the hero and quirk talk, jokes just aren't your thing." That got a wry laugh out of him, and we went back to silence...
Which sucked.
So, to not be left in an awkward situation, I decided to shift gears. "How's the beach cleaning going?" He and All Might were still did that. Sure, it helped him work out, but it was still inefficient.
Though, like a switch, Izuku lost his nervousness, and turned back to me. "It's going great! Sure, there are a few issues like that one truck that somehow ended up on the beach, or the plating from what I believe is a submarine of some kind, and that massive pile of scrap that doesn't seem to go down no matter how much I work on it, but things are good. We're pretty much a fourth of the way done! Can you believe that senpai?!" I could, especially since Izuku was working his ass off to prove himself. "And I've been observing myself, looking for signs of muscle growth and testing Nezu and Athena-sama's findings...-" I snorted at that, because Athena both loathed and liked being called sama, it was amusing. We shared a grin at that, and he went back to talking. "I can already make out a few areas where muscle growth is showing up, and I've tested my stamina. I can officially hold my breath for two minutes and thirty seconds longer then before. It's fascinating!" That DID sound interesting.
As one of our friends, Izuku was obviously involved in our talks about the actual first quirk. Hearing our theory about it mesmerized him, and he made sure to take extensively detailed notes on his training and the progress he makes. Though, I saw an opportunity to tease, and went for it."So, you've been checking yourself out huh? Flexing in the mirror in your boxers?" My assistant choked, and shot me a betrayed look as laughed. But, from the look in his eyes, I knew hit the nail on the head. "That's adorable Midoriya." He groaned, and put his head in his hands, which only made me laugh more.
We walked in comfortable silence for a bit, before he was back to normal. "Anyway, any villains or something like that worth mentioning, come up recently?" I could easily check my focus to find out, but he was an easier source. It also kept him talking.
He hummed, and after a few moments of thinking, nodded. "Recently, there've been an increase in storm activity. Directly after the 'Golden Morning.'" I snorted at that, mainly because Hestia was embarrassed whenever it was brought up. None of us expected that to happen when she tested her range, but it happened, and she now had a national holiday attributed to her. It was great. Anyway, Izuku just smiled, since he knew about Hestia being embarrassed about it, and went on. "At first, it was simply unexpected rainfall, but a few days ago, it changed." I blinked at that, and thought about what it was.
It clicked in a moment, and I looked at him. "That hurricane off the coast?" I'd heard about it, but I was in my lab most of the day, and hadn't looked into it.
One nod from Izuku, and digging through his bag later, he brought out one of his journals, 'Villain analysis and countermeasures' and started flipping through it. A second or two later, he found what he was looking for. He handed it to me, and I hummed as I read through it. "'Villain Name: Tempest. Quirk - Weather Manipulation. First confirmed public appearance was March 19th, 2338.' Seven years ago huh... Interesting. 'He was spotted creating a number of tornadoes in his battle against at the time #8 and 9 Hero's: Reaper and Soul. Quirks - Reaper can render a target defenseless after landing a solid hit to said target, and expose their 'soul.' The downside is that she needs to build up to that hit, and her build up can be reset after enough time without landing a hit on her target. Soul's Quirk allows him to turn parts of himself into a Scythe. He can also fully turn himself into a Scythe, but cannot move himself in that form..." I blinked at that, and swore I felt a sense of Deja Vu, but for the life of me, I couldn't figure out why... (I'll figure it out later.) I went back to reading, and focused on this 'Tempest' guy. "'Tempest created a thunderstorm capable of covering a quarter of Japan...' Well THAT sounds broken."
Izuku laughed, a full belly laugh, and I raised a brow at him. He met my look, and couldn't keep the smile off his face as he waved his hand up and down, at me. "Pot meet kettle."
I blinked, then snorted. "Ok. I'll give you that one." He just chuckled a bit, and I turned back to his notes. "'Support arrived as the fight went on, and Tempest was driven off. Capture was impossible due to the collateral damage created from the lightning strikes and tornadoes Tempest created in order to escape. Countermeasures in the event Tempest resurfaces - Eraser Head to erase his quirk and detain him. All Might - With his strength and speed, Tempest will be unable to react before All Might takes him down. Heroes with water manipulation quirks to wrestle control over the clouds he draws in, splitting his attention from ground forces and other hero's who could fight him from the ground. Prolonged fighting - During the battle with Reaper and Scythe, Tempest was noted to gain a nosebleed at the 5 minute mark, despite not sustaining an injury from the duo, and only seemed to get sluggish as the battle continued. Possible that his body is put under too much strain to sustain his Quirk.' Interesting... Very interesting." There was some more, including a very detailed sketch of the guy's at the time look, and villain costume... Hmm...
I handed Izuku his journal, and hummed as I tapped my focus. I brought up Zaka's focus, and called him. He picked up in a moment, and I saw him back in the livingroom. He gave me a grin, and a raised brow, then spoke. ~Hey Caenn beag. What's up?~
I went straight to the point, since I wanted to spend some more time with Izuku, and I wouldn't end up doing that if I talked to Zaka for too long. "You interested in turning into Storm?" A Marvel reference would be the easiest way to explain it to him.
He blinked, and I saw him think about what I meant. Then a spark flew past his eyes, and his grin widened. ~I'm game. Where's Nine?~
Now it was my turn to blink. "Nine?"
Zaka looked confused for a moment, then he snapped his fingers. ~That's his name, I think. I'm pretty sure there was a movie about him. Dude controls storms and sh...-~ He looked around for a moment, probably to see if Eri was nearby. After making sure she wasn't, he went on. ~Shit like that. I didn't watch it cause I was kinda caught up in other shit at the time, and eventually got too lazy to watch it, but I remember him from some AMVS and clips from the movie. I kinda forgot about him, but now that you brought him up, I want it. Where's he at?~
I saw his eager smile, but focused on just STARING at him for a bit. "You FORGOT about the guy that can just make tornadoes, hurricanes, and thunderstorms at will? Zaka... What the fuck?"
He blinked again, then shrugged. ~In my defense, I never purposely looked him up. I knew he EXISTED, but that was it. So really, it's not my fault I forgot about him until you brought him up.~
My eye and tail twitched, and I had to accept that he a valid reason for forgetting about such a blatantly powerful quirk. "Whatever. Midoriya thinks that hurricane was his doing, go check it out. If you find him, you find him. If you don't, then oh well."
Zaka hummed at that, then nodded. ~I'll find em. Thanks ceann beag. Love ya.~
"Love you too mutt." He smiled at that, and got up. Though, now that I had him, I'd might as well bring up what I'd thought about earlier. "Oh, and before you go." He stopped moving, and raised a brow at me. "You're taking me on a date soon."
He blinked, but gave me a smile. ~Sure. How's after the Sport's Festival sound?~
I thought about it, since the Sports Festival was in a week. It gave him time to plan, which was smart of him, and seemed like a good idea. So, I nodded. "Sure. After the Sport's Festival. Make sure you don't forget that too, mutt." He just rolled his eyes, and waved me off. I huffed at that, but smiled as I hung up the call. With that done, I tuned back into Izuku, who was giving me an intrigued look. "What?"
He scratched his cheek again, but didn't turn away. Why do you call Zaka-san, mutt? Isn't it... Demeaning?" There was something in his eyes there, but I decided to leave it for later.
Humming at that, I shrugged. "Initially, it kind of was. I was in a stressful situation and handled it how I used to. But the more time we spent with each other, the more it changed. It went from something demeaning, to something that only I can call him. Something the two of us, and everyone in the pack really, understand that is said more out of love or annoyance then anything else." It really was. Despite how much it sounded like an insult, Zaka was my mutt, and I was his cub/little one, as much as the former of those two annoyed me, we belonged to each other. And nothing was going to change that.
Izuku had a strange look in his, before they cleared, and he smiled. "You really love Zaka-san, don't you, Takagi-senpai?"
I rolled my eyes at that, but smiled back "Of course I do. I just told him I did." Izuku laughed at that, and I joined him. "But yes. I love Zaka, and I always will." I paused, and turned to my right. I felt Zaka moving at high speeds, and sighed as I saw him with his Vouivre wings out, and shooting off towards the coast like a bullet, thankfully not breaking the sound barrier. I sighed at that, and finished my sentence. "Even if he sometimes makes me want to bash my head into a wall."
Izuku laughed even more at that. It was nice. Almost made me forget I was on my way to kick someone's shit in. "Hey senpai?" I hummed, and looked at him. He was looking noticeably better now, not just from having his wounds healed. Then he asked me something. "How do you do it?" When I gave him a raised brow, he went on. "With the relationship with Zaka-san." Ah.
I scratched my chin at that, and thought about how I should answer that. There were multiple ways, but the most efficient one came to me easily. "It's not just with Zaka. For as much as Rika and Miyamoto like calling it a harem, it's different." I could tell he was interested in this, so I went on. "We're all together. So it's not like it's Zaka being with me, Saeko, Rika, Shizuka, and Hestia. It's more Zaka being with us, while we're with each other. Let's take Shizuka with Hestia or Saeko for example. Shizuka LOVES to fuck Hestia, and teach her as many sexual acts as she can. Then there's Saeko and Shizuka, who have a whole S&M thing going on. The both of them are switches, though Shizuka likes to be the sub the majority of the time, but she WILL make Saeko obey if she gets REALLY into it." After I finished saying that, I paused, and turned to Izuku, who had stopped at some point, and saw he was blushing something FIERCE. I swear, if he got any redder, he would've been a genuine tomato. Seeing another opportunity, I grinned, and folded my arms under my breasts. The action made his eyes, and the eyes of whoever the fuck was around us, trail to them, before he looked away. "Aww, what's the matter Midoriya? Can't handle a little sex talk? For shame young man, whatever will you do when you get a girlfriend? What will poor little Hatsumei think?"
His blush deepened, and I could swear there was steam coming out of his ears. "S-S-Senpaiii! We're not like that! I swear!"
I hummed in a teasing way, and let my amusement show through my tail, and through the smirk on my face. "Are you suuure? I heard how she wants to 'make babies' with you. Moving FAST there aren't you Midoriya? Zaka would be so PROUD of you."
He groaned so loud, it was amazing. Hell, I practically roared out in laughter at that. Hearing and seeing that, he dropped his head into his hands, and groaned again. "Why are you like this senpai?"
That got me to snort. "You try spending months on end, if not a year with Saeko teasing you, and see how that ends up." Another groan, but one I could tell was of understanding. Saeko had walked around in an apron, and NOTHING else on in front of him once, and the sight made him pass out. Sure, it was hilarious and I caught it on my scroll, but it got him to understand why I liked to take my 'frustrations' on him. "Exa...-"
I was going to say exactly, but a sudden scent entered my nose, and I turned towards it. And when I did, my eyes locked onto a blonde haired red eyed fuck coming out of a nearby arcade. Everything about his body language, attitude, look in his eye just SCREAMED 'better then you.' I didn't like it.
Not at all.
"Midoriya." Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him take his head out of my hands, and look up. When he looked where I was looking, he stiffened, and I didn't even HAVE to ask if that was who I thought it was. (Alright. let's get this show on the road.) That decided, I dropped my arms to my sides, and made my way over to the blonde. As I walked, I noticed Izuku follow after me, his steps noticeably more tensed then before.
Getting to him, I noticed he was around 5'8(173-5cms), had and smelled like burnt caramel. "Hey, you shitty blonde fuck!" I heard Izuku choke behind me, but ignored it.
The blonde turned towards me and had a scowl on his face that looked like I robbed his family's graves. "WHO THE FU...-" That was all he got out before I reached out and grabbed his left shoulder with my right hand, fully turned him towards me, and punched him in the jaw with my left, not hard enough to kill him or break it, and followed it up with a knee to the gut. The fucker doubled over at the hit, and I followed up on that as I curled my tail in a bit, and infused it with the smallest amount of aura, making it as solid as a fist. The blow landed on his face, and he let out a gasp as he went limp. It all happened in the blink of an eye, giving no one the opportunity to react.
Though, when it was over, Izuku shifted nervously by my side. "Uhh... Senpai... I thought you agreed to go easy on him..."
I raised a brow at that, and shook the blonde in my grasp. "He's alive, nothing is broken, and he's not maimed. I agreed I'd go easy on him, you just didn't understand what my definition of 'easy' is." Loopholes were a wonderful thing.
Izuku stared at me for a moment, then looked at his bully. There was a pained look of... Regret? In his eyes, but it vanished as he shook his head sighed a second later. "I guess so..."
Nodding at that, I turned back to the blonde, and hummed. "What do I do with him now?" I wasn't sure.
I was tempted to leave him here though, but Izuku sighed, and looked at me. "We... We should take him home."
I blinked at that, and came to a conclusion that annoyed me. Though, justify before jumping to conclusions and all that. "Midoriya. Why do you know where he lives?"
He looked embarrassed at that question, and looked away. "We were childhood friends..."
I blinked once, then twice, and then a third time. After said third time, I looked at him, the limp blonde in my hand, and then back at him. "Are you fucking kidding me?!" I knew this was an anime world, but the fucking trope of 'Childhood friend turned bully' was fucking used here? (Unbe-fucking-leavable. This stupid motherfucker was Izuku's bestfriend once upon a time? The fuck is next? A redemption ar...) My thoughts ground to a halt at that, and then fired off on all cylinders immediately afterwards. (I could see it. Izuku would fucking forgive this asshat if we weren't here. He's too kind for his own fucking that onto the fact he was supposed to be 14 in the series, then yes. Izuku would've forgiven his childhood 'friend' turned tormentor without batting an eye. Gods fucking dammit Izuku! I can't even hate him since he still let me go 'easy' on this little shit. Ugh!) Focusing back into the now, I sighed, and waved my free hand at him. "Lead the way. But just know we are going to have a long conversation about this with Hirano, Komuro, and Shizuka later."
Izuku gulped, probably not looking forward to telling everyone he hid his wounds to them, and about his childhood bully. "It's this way." And like that, he turned robotically, and started walking. I just huffed, and dragged the blonde along, not caring enough to make a platform to dump him on.
And so we started walking towards his home, ignoring literally everything and one else.
We walked in silence for a bit, I didn't feel like checking my focus to see how long, before I spoke up. "By the way, do you want to get rid of those scars?" Izuku almost tripped, and whipped his head over to me. The question in his eyes was unmistakable, so I answered. "I can make a potion to get rid of them. Remember the side room in my lab?" He nodded, and I could tell he was getting it. "The ingredients for all the potions I can make are growing in there. It'll take some time, and a bunch of mana exposure, but they'll grow. So, do you want me to make a potion to get rid of your scars?" Izuku blinked, and stared at me. I stared back, and waited for his answer.
I watched as he put a hand on his chest, where his biggest scar was, and dip his head, clearly in thought. I didn't rush him, this was most likely a big thing for him after all. Thankfully, again, he didn't take long. When he looked up, his eyes were focused, and he stared back at me. Sure, he spared a glance at the fucker, but instead of the regret I saw earlier, there was resolve there. And when our eyes met, I knew his answer before he said it. "Yes."
I nodded at that. "Good. I'll get Hestia to help me out. The ingredients should be ready in two days or so. I'll let you know when, got it?" He nodded back, and gave me a smile. I returned it, then waved my free hand at him again. "Now, let's go drop this little shit off, shall we?" Izuku let out a small chuckle at that, but it was good enough.
We kept going from there, and a minute or two later, Izuku spoke again. "Senpai." I already knew I wasn't going to like this, but I sighed, and looked at him. We looked at each other for a moment, and he asked me whatever he wanted to ask. "Can we not tell his parents about the abuse and my scars?" I blinked at that for two of reasons.
Firstly, he recognized it as abuse, which was a big thing. Secondly, because he asked THAT! My eye twitched again, and I whacked him upside the head with my tail, gently. He took it, and looked a little embarrassed as he did. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't."
He blinked, but answered without missing a beat. "His parents don't deserve to be blamed for his actions."
My eye twitched again, but this time, I closed them, took a breath in, then breathed out. Opening my eyes, I looked at him, and huffed. "I fucking hate that that's a valid reason." My assistant gave me a winning smile, and walked with just a little more pep in his step. I just rolled my eyes, and walked with him. "Smug little shit." He laughed at that, any previous turmoil gone.
{Another 10 minutes later}
Our walk over to the fucker's place was good. Sure, I got some looks for dragging said fucker around, but after Izuku said we were taking him home, people walked off. Though, at one point, a Hero showed up, and after Izuku fanboyed at him for a minute, and got him to sign his entry in one of Izuku's journals, he left. I wasn't sure if he bought us bringing the shit home, or if he wanted to run away from my assistant, but it was whatever.
I also got a message from Nezu asking me why his friend in the police got a call about me knocking someone out in broad daylight, but after I told him it was personal and it wasn't anything bad, he let it be.
Anyway, that aside, we made it to the fucker's house, and Izuku knocked on the door. "Comin!" The feminine voice let me know which parent I'd be meeting, and I got to see Izuku shuffle a bit. He also looked both embarrassed, and a little excited. Making me wonder what the story was, if thee was one in the first place.
Though, there wasn't really any need for me to keep thinking about that, since the door opened, and I saw a woman that was basically the fucker, but genderbent, and as a MILF... I thought about the fact I just labeled the mother of my assistant/friend's bully as a MILF, and came to a startling conclusion about myself. (I have issues. Many many issues.) I'd figure out where to go from here, later.
Her eyes looked around at us, but immediately locked onto Izuku. Her face split into a massive grin, and she reached out to grab him. "Green bean!" Izuku didn't resist, and the two of them hugged. The MILF...
(MANY issues.) Anyway, the MILF looked surprised at that, and I smiled. I could easily see Izuku short circuit if a MILF like that had hugged him. (... Fuck, why am I like this?! I blame Zaka for this.)
Soaring through the air, Maccillian sneezed, and flew straight into a flock of geese. "FUCK OFF YA LITTLE SHITS!"
Her surprise aside, Izuku gave the woman a smile, and she returned it. "Hi auntie Bakugo... I'm sorry that I haven't come over in a while." Aww.
The MILF, I came to terms with the fact that was going to be the first thing I thought about when I thought of this woman, squeed, and hugged my assistant closer for that. An act that even though it made him blush, still left him fully functional. "Aww, don't worry about it Green bean! You're still here anyway." She brought him back for a moment, and made him look at her. "But now that you're here, you gotta promise to come around more often, got me?"
Izuku looked unsure for a moment, but I saw his determination come back. "I will. I promise."
That seemed to make the MILF's day, since she grew a massive grin, and hugged him again. "Awesome! Now then," She looked at me, her eyes alight with mischief, and I knew what she was going to say next. I was interested in how this would go, so I let her say it instead of preemptively correcting her. "Who's your little girlfriend~?"
Izuku choked, a reaction that made me snort. Then, he blushed bright red, and started shaking his head. "W-We're not like that auntie! Takagi-senpai is my best friend!"
The MILF and I blinked at that, then cooed at the same time. "Aww, Midoriya. How adorable." It really was. I also hadn't heard him say it out loud before, I'd seen his notes so I knew he saw me that way, but he'd never said it. Mostly because he was still too embarrassed to do so.
But now, with it out in the open, I, and the MILF could tease him on it. She turned the hug into a one armed one, and used the other to ruffle his hair. "Look at you! Inko's little boy getting a 10 as your bestfriend, you're gonna be stealing hearts in no time Green bean." With Zaka being an influence in his life, I did not doubt that at all.
That aside, I joined in on the teasing. "You should hear about Hatsumei. Girl wants to make some babies with him."
Izuku paled, and shot me another betrayed look, while the MILF grinned like the Cheshire cat. "Oh really now?~ Green beaaan! You have some stories to tell!~" And like that, she started dragging my assistant into her home. He didn't resist, and looked more like a victim heading to the gallows. Though, the MILF turned back to me, and used her head to gesture me in. I shrugged, and followed them. I had better things to do, but I had to have fun sometimes.
After I walked in and closed the door behind me, I took a look at the place. It was sort of like our livingroom, just smaller and without the third couch. "Anywaay, pinky! I didn't get yo...- OH! So THAT'S where the brat went!"
Turning back to the MILF, I saw she was looking at the fucker I was dragging along. She didn't seem to be that disturbed about the fact I was dragging her unconscious son along, so I raised a brow at her. "Yeah... What should I do with him? I've been dragging him around for like, twelve minutes or something after I knocked him out." So far, she was good in my books, but I wanted to see just what her reaction would be to that little tidbit of information.
The MILF, as well as Izuku, looked at me, and she laughed... I was NOT expecting that. "Hah! Someone FINALLY beat the brat down! Good goin pinky!" I just blinked at that. She kept laughing for a bit, before she got herself under control, and waved it off. "Hand em over, I'll go put him up in his room." I shrugged, and did so. The MILF laughed as I did it like he was a bag of groceries, and just kept laughing as she made her way up the stairs, fucker in tow.
When she was gone, I shared a look with Izuku, who looked embarrassed as he sat on the couch. "She's like Rika and Kiriko but as one person."
I watched as he blinked, and thought on that. "That's... That is a VERY good description... Huh..." I laughed at his introspective face, and decided to make myself at home. So, I wrapped my tail around my waist, and sat on the couch opposite of Izuku. That done, I hummed and waited for the MILF.
Which didn't take long, since she was back after a minute or something. Seeing us on the couches, she was about to come over, but paused. "You two want anything? I got some juice in the fridge."
Izuku and I thought about that, and shrugged. ""Ok."" With that said, the MILF grinned again, and went over to the kitchen.
We could hear her open the fridge, then call out to us. "So, I got Orange, Apple, Cranberry, and Blueberry juice, which ones ya want?" That was a good selection.
""Apple/Cranberry."" Izuku gave me a look when I said Cranberry, and I shrugged. "It's good, and she has it. What do you want from me?"
There was a laugh in the kitchen, and my assistant just sighed. "I'm liking you more and more pinky!"
I rolled my eyes at that. "My name's Saya Takagi, not 'pinky.'" Not that I really minded the nickname, I just wanted to get that out.
"Eh, pinky, Saya, what's the difference?" Snorting at that, I made mental note to maybe introduce this woman to Rika and Kiriko. They'd have a good time. The MILF got us our drinks, and plopped down next to Izuku, wrapping an arm around his shoulders, and bringing him close. Izuku blushed a little, but again, was still functional. She grinned at that, then looked at me. "Anywaaay, how'd you two meet? I doubt little Izuku here had the balls to say hey first." My assistant squawked at that, which only made her laugh more. "Hey, you know I'm right. Hell, back when you were a kid, you couldn't even LOOK at a girl without turning into a mess." She turned thoughtful here, and set her own drink down as she tapped her cheek. "Though, you're not thaaat much of a mess around me or her, so that's an improvement." She had a point. My assistant had been horrible around us at first, but after some time, he went from stuttering and blushing mess, to blushing teenager, so yes, it WAS an improvement.
That aside, she asked a question, so I should answer. Simple. "Well, my husband dr...-"
"PFFT!" Her eyes almost bugged out of her head, and she started choking on air. Izuku, the ever good boy he was, helped her not choke. Some back rubs later, the MILF was better, and giving me a LOOK. "How the hell do you have a husband? Fucking, I could get," It was my assistants turn to choke this time, though, after a good whack to the back from the MILF, he was fine. "But a husband?" Her eyes trailed to my left hand, and noted the lack of ring, which made her look back to me. "Unless you're fucking with me. Cause that'd be a good joke if you were."
I rolled my eyes at that. "Zaka hasn't proposed yet, though we all understand that's what we are to each oth...-" There was an incoming call on my focus, and I blinked when I saw who it was from. "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear." Tapping my focus, and accepting the call, I decided to make it public, so the MILF and Izuku could see and hear him. The first thing I saw when the call started was Zaka's hologram, upside down, floating. His shirt kept fluttering, giving us all a look at his scars every so often. Looking at the window that showed his current location, I saw he was over an ocean. I also noticed the storm winds around him, and heavy looking clouds. But back to him being upside down... "Why?"
He snorted, then rolled his eyes. ~Why not?~
I blinked at that, then rolled my eyes. "Whatever. So, did you find him?" That was probably why he called, and I could see the weather around him, so the answer was highly likely to be yes. But getting justification is always a good thing.
My husband smiled, and righted himself, while also 'landing' on the carpet of the MILF's living room. As he did, he held a palm out, and we watched as a miniature storm brewed above it. ~This shit's cool. It's like I'm a fuckin wizard or some shit like that... Or a Kushala, but less annoying.~ That got a snort out of me, which made him hum, and raise a brow. ~What? Got something to say ceann beag?~ Oh did I ever?
"Less annoying' he says. Remind me who messed up every room in the house because he wanted to see what would happen if he removed gravity in the house?" Zaka blinked, drooped his ears, then whistled harmlessly. "That doesn't work on me, mutt."
He snorted, and stopped trying to look innocent. ~In my defense. Eri loved 'flying', and it didn't take too long to put everything back in place.~ He had some points, sure.
Buuut. "I was in the middle of an experiment with my Glinthawk prototype Zaka. I don't need to remind you what happened when it got damaged, do I?" The damn thing was in the middle of a flight test, and the sudden removal of gravity made it rise too fast, smashing its face into the ceiling. It was just a prototype, so I didn't reinforce it. My ceiling on the other hand...
Zaka just whistled again. ~Anywaaay. Whatcha doing? And where ya at?~ Saying that, he spun around, inevitably seeing both Izuku and the MILF. He blinked, then turned back to me. ~There's a story here, and I wanna know it.~
I scoffed, then nodded. "Not muuuch of a story, but I hit the fucker with a three hit combo and knocked him out. Midoriya wanted to drop him off at home though, so one walk and meeting one MILF later, we're here. That's pretty much it." I heard a snort from said MILF, which made me realize I called her that out loud. Zaka realized that too, since he sported a massive grin, and scratched his chin. But before he spoke, I cut him off. "I blame you for this you know."
My annoying husband just laughed, and waved it off. ~Whatever you say ceann beag. Whatever you say. Anyway, Imma head home now. See you there ceann beag, love ya.~
I huffed at that, but my smile was there for all to see. "Love you too mutt. See you at home."
He gave me a nod, then sprouted his wings. I also noticed the winds pick up, and the clouds get darker. ~Now then!~ Thunder boomed, not only in the distance, but over the call as well. ~I AM THE STO...-~ I hung up the call, because if I let Zaka sing too much, he'd make it another damn concert.
With Zaka's hologram winking out of existence, I got to turn my attention to the MILF and my assistant. Izuku was drinking his juice, seemingly unbothered about Zaka being Zaka. Then there was said MILF, who was giving me a raised brow, as well as a massive grin. "So I'm a MILF, huh?" I blinked at that, and felt the biggest sense of Deja Vu in my life.
(This really IS his fault! I knew it!) That aside, I shrugged, and sipped my own juice. "Yes. Besides, I'm something of a MILF myself." I paused at that, and recognized what I just did. (Fucking dammit Zaka!) References were his, Lili, and Toga's thing, not mine!
The MILF laughed, and I put my thoughts aside for later. "I like you kid! You should come over sometimes, it'll be great!"
Thinking about that, I had to admit it would be interesting. (I can also put Izuku's bully in his place if he tries anything. There are only a few things more demeaning then being put down in your own home. Oh yeah, I can work with that.) I grinned at that thought, and gave the MILF a nod. "Sure, I can do that."
She grinned even more at that, and raised her glass of juice. "Fuck yeah! Now we just need Inko to come around, and everything'll be great!" I didn't know who that was, but given what she said earlier, she was most likely Izuku's mother.
My assistant confirmed that when he looked at the MILF, and smiled. "I... I'll do my best to get mom to come over. I promise."
Another cheer was her response to that, and she hugged Izuku closer, almost making him brush up against her breast. A part of my mind wondered if she knew what she was doing, while another wanted to go glomp Shizuka. "Awesome! When she comes over, we'll definitely need to talk about your girlfriend. Anyone that wants to make babies with my Green bean needs to get my permission!"
Izuku choked at that, while the MILF and I barked out in laughter. "A-Auntie!" We just kept laughing at him, and it was nice.
(Man... I should go out more often, this is fun.) I probably would now. Fun was meant to be had, and my projects could always come later.
[Omake - What have I done? Yin's POV]
[Are you finally ready to go? Just asking for a friend.]
I snorted at my system, and checked everything over. Sure, I was probably over prepared, but I didn't want to get caught off guard. Sure, I knew where I wanted to go, but you could never be too prepared. Anyway, when I made sure I had everything in my inventory, I nodded. (Yes system, I'm ready. You can finally stop annoying me about it.) Everyday, system would ask at least once, and it finally got on my nerves.
[Thank me. Honestly, you're decision to stay in your first world for so long had me losing my incorporeal mind.]
(... But you don't even have a mind in the first place? So what do you mean 'incorporeal mind?!' Just say it for what it was, you were bitching for the sake of bitching.) There was no other way to put it.
[Is the literal bitch going to lecture me about bitching? Oh the irony.]
My eye twitched at that, and I breathed out. (I don't know how I've stayed sane having you in my head for 17 years.) Honestly, it was a miracle I wasn't a sarcastic bi... (An OVERLY sarcastic bitch.) I got a snort from system for that, but ignored the asshole.
After making sure I was ready to go, I left my room, and made my way downstairs.
Getting to the livingroom, I saw mom and dad, mother, uncle Qrow, and the entirety of team RWBY. Seeing me come in, they all looked at me, and all had the same melancholic look in their eyes. Though, I only got to see those looks for a second before a bundle of rose petals slammed into my gut. I wasn't pushed back by her, and just wrapped my arms around my sister. She materialized back into the cute little Red Riding Hood I knew, and gave me a look. "Do you REALLY have to go? You can't stay for like, another few months? Maybe a year?"
I just chuckled at that, and shook my head. "We've been over this Ruby. Sure, I COULD stay." She looked hopeful in that moment, but I could tell she knew what I was about to say next. "But I shouldn't. Salem's out of the picture." Ruby, and almost everyone else, mother was the only one who didn't, shivered at that. They remembered the husk of a woman we dragged back. "We're STILL not being allowed to go to Beacon." (Ugh. Fucking Harry Potter rip offs. Screw them.) The whole 'Pure blood' and 'Evolutionist' movements were keeping us out of the academies, so we couldn't go back, despite school being in session. "And I want to try out going on an adventure." I really did. Hearing about Macky and the girls having fun in Danmachi was one thing, hearing him go to My Hero, and living there just made me want to go on my own journey even more.
My little sister gave me the eyes for a second, but I just pat her head, making her pout. "Ugh. And you're SURE you can't take any of us with you?"
I sighed at that, but gave her a nod. "No Ruby, I can't take anyone with me yet. I need at least two worlds under my belt before I can take anyone along." (Which is kind of bullshit since Macky can take as many people as he wants.) I heard a scoff from system at that.
[His method of world traveling is completely different then ours.
And just like the Gamer's method, his is that way by design.]
(Well it's an unfair and shitty design now isn't it?) Another scoff from system was its answer to that. Anyway, Ruby deflated at that, and I gave her some more pats. She wasn't happy, but it mollified her for now.
Looking away from her, I saw the rest of my team around us. Yang had her go to grin on her face, Blake looked as stoic as ever, and Weiss was the picture of elegance. Though, their eyes all held the same sadness/melancholy the others had. Weiss reached out, and gently pulled Ruby by her hood. "Come on Ruby, you can't cling to Yin forever." My little sister flailed at me and whined at that, which made her partner roll her eyes. "Don't be like that Ruby. You're not a child, so don't act like one."
Yang and I snorted at that. "Ah, let her be Weiss-cream, Rubes is our adorable little mascot. Mascots get to act like kids if they're cute enough."
We looked at her at that, and it was Blake that spoke up. "It says something that she's technically right." Yang smiled triumphantly. "But since Ruby is our LEADER, instead of a mascot, you're wrong." And she deflated just like Ruby did.
"As amusing as this byplay is, you're holding her up." Looking over to mother, who was drinking another smoothie, we met her gaze. "If today's the day she's going, then we shouldn't keep her. Besides, it's not as if we're going to be aware of the time she's gone." Ah, that. Unlike Macky's time dilation deal, my worlds stop if I'm not on them.
So while yeah, they wouldn't have the time to miss me, she still kinda ruined the mood. "Raveeen!" And mom didn't like that. Mother turned to an exasperated Summer, and innocently sipped her smoothie. Mom just rolled her eyes, and bonked her on the head. "Just because you're factually right, doesn't mean you're emotionally right. This is a big moment for us all Rae, even YOU have to admit that."
Raven sipped her smoothie a bit more, then stopped to let out a sigh at mom's pleading look. "Fine." She turned back to us, and sighed again. "Summer, as she always is, is right." We ignored the 'Yup!' From mom. "While you may not be gone for more then a blink of an eye for me, the thought of you being gone DOES make me just a tad bit sad."
I blinked at that, and just had to ask. "Only a 'tad bit', really mother?"
Raven rolled her eyes at that, and took another sip of her smoothie. "Of course. I know how strong you are. Unless you do something idiotic such as challenging a god, or are trapped in some form of pocket dimension and ambushed by people/monsters that either specifically counter you, or carry items/weapons that do, then you will be fine." We all stared at Raven at that, and she just took another sip of her smoothie. She saw all our looks, and raised a brow. "What?"
Everyone else in the livingroom just shared a look at that. "Rae... Why in the hell were you so specific with that second one?" Uncle Qrow, asking what was on ALL of our minds.
My mother just shrugged. "Answer me this. Does anyone else have a scenario where Yin could possibly be pushed beyond her limits, or perhaps grievously injured, in a scenario that ISN'T that?" There was a pregnant silence for a bit, and Weiss looked like she was going to say something. "Outside of her fighting Maccillian or his harem." She closed her mouth, and silence reigned supreme. My mother looked entirely too smug at that. "Exactly." And so she went back to drinking her smoothie, while basking in her victory.
[... She has a point though.]
(I fucking know that dammit, that's why I'm not saying anything!) System snorted at that, and went back to being mute.
A cough from dad got us back on track, and mom sent him a grateful smile. "That aside... I guess we should get this show on the road, huh?" That did the trick. With dad's words out, everyone got ready to say goodbye, even if it was just going to be for a little bit in their point of view. The first ones up were my team, naturally. Though, Ruby had already gotten a head start, so she was going to be last, much to her annoyance.
Aside from Ruby, the first one up was my twin sister Yang. She brought me in for a hug, which I reciprocated. "I'm going to miss my favorite twin, ya know that."
I snorted at that. "I'm your ONLY twin." I saw her open her mouth, and stopped her right there. "And mother doesn't count, so don't try it Yang." That got her, since she just rolled her eyes.
"Whatever." We broke off the hug, and she held out her fist. "Come on, put her there." I smiled, and fist bumped her. My sister grinned, and gave me a nod. "Don't keep us waiting, you hear. I wanna go show some uncultured dudes just how good the Yin and Yang duo is."
"You got it sis. I'll make sure to speedrun my worlds just for you."
That got a laugh out of my twin, and a few snorts from Raven and uncle Qrow. Though, she ignored those latter two. "You damn better!" I rolled my eyes at her, and watched as she moved back to be with the others.
With my twin out of the way, next up was her partner, the ever stoic Blake. Like Yang, she brought me into a hug, which I again, reciprocated. "We might not have known each other for that long, but you're one of my bestfriends Yin, and most likely always will be. Thanks for everything, and for inadvertently helping 'evolve' my people."
I laughed at that last one, and pat her on the back for it. "Anytime Blake. Anytime." That seemed to be enough for her, since she broke off the hug, and took a step back. "I'll make sure to get you some inter dimensional smut while I'm out and about." She choked at that, and we all shared a laugh as Yang did her best to help out her partner.
"As crass and immature as that is, the thought of you coming back with a stack of porn is hilarious." Weiss' words only made it harder for Blake.
"Can we not talk about porn right now girls?" Mom's words, and the whole 'hands on her hips with the mom look' made Weiss and I apologize. "Thank you."
Moving on. Weiss handed Ruby's hood to Yang, and came over to me. Following the others examples, Weiss and I hugged. "While I may not know how long you'll be away from us, or how long we'll be 'frozen' for, I'll miss you nonetheless Yin. Being the only voice of reason without you will be difficult," We ignored Blake, Yang and Ruby's 'Hey!' "But I'll manage somehow."
Weiss and I shared a grin, and I nodded. "It'll be hard, but I believe in you Weiss." My favorite Ice Queen smiled, then broke off our hug, heading back to the others. After Weiss, and the only real one left from the team, was Ruby. My little sister crashed in to me again, and I just sighed as she gave me the puppy dog eyes. (Thank gods she doesn't have wolf ears and a tail, or else it'd be harder to say no.)
Ruby looked at me for a bit more, then spoke. "I REALLY can't convince you to stay? Like, not at all? Not a chance or percent out of 100?"
I almost laughed at that, but settled for a large smile. "No Ruby, you can't. But it's like Raven said. I'll be back in the blink of an eye." Ruby ramped up the puppy dog eyes, and even started shaking her lip. Again, if she had wolf ears and a tail, this would be BEYOND effective. Thankfully, she doesn't have those. "Ruby..."
That got her, and she sighed as she slowly shuffled away, and sulked by her partner. "'S unfair." We laughed at that, and moved on.
After my sister was uncle Qrow. Thanks to mom being back, he's been trying to stay sober. So far, it's been working, and he's cleaned up nicely. The old crow brought me in for a hug, and ruffled my hair! The nerve! "Have some fun, and be sure to kick as much ass as you can Mark ll."
I swatted his hand away, and smirked at him. "Oh I will. Though, if you mess with my hair again, I'll have to add your name to the list right now."
"I'll help! Everyone knows not to mess with the hair!" My ever faithful twin was being supportive, as always.
"... I wouldn't mind helping as well." And mother, surprising. So now, my twin and our mother were all staring at HER twin.
Seeing that he was being ganged up on, uncle Qrow raised both hands in surrender, and slowly backed away. "It was just a joke... A joke..." The three of us just kept staring at uncle Qrow, and after Yang laughed, Raven and I did too. It was great. Seeing that, uncle Qrow sighed, and hung his head low. "Oh har har." The rest of the room laughed, and the old crow walked away.
After him were mom and dad. The two of them came over, and pulled me into a three way hug. "Make sure you stay safe, ok my little chick?" I couldn't help but be embarrassed at mom's name for me, because I was a grown ass woman! But she was my mom... So it didn't fucking matter.
"And make sure if you end up in a fight you can't win, you run. Ok Yin?" I groaned at that, but looked at dad.
He looked back, and I just sighed. "Fineee." That got a smile out of him, and it was nice. (I didn't promise though, sooo... Sorry not sorry dad.) Thankfully, he couldn't hear that thought.
Mom and dad kept me in the hug for a little longer, before breaking it off. The two of them smiled at me, and I returned it. Now, the only one left was... We all looked to my mother, who was finishing her smoothie, and looking back at us. She held our looks for a few seconds, before responding. "Do I HAVE to?" That got a snort out of Yang, Qrow and I.
Mom though, she put her hands on her hips again, and looked at Raven. "Rae. Get up, and hug our daughter." Hearing mom's tone, Raven did just that.
She got up, after putting her smoothie down, and came over to hug me. Raven was still getting used to the whole 'physical contact without beating the shit out of someone' thing, but I didn't mind. I hugged her back, and she spoke. "Ensure you return. I'm still trying to do better." I smiled at that, and conceded her point. She really had been trying to be a mother to me, so I nodded, making her give me a small smile in return.
I was about to say something, but Ruby squealed, and crashed into the both of us. "Group hug!" And then EVERYONE ELSE followed her example.
"Dammit!" That's how Raven and I found ourselves in the center of a group hug from everyone in th...- "Qrow, hug me, and I kick you in the balls." Almost everyone in the room.
"Sheesh, really feeling the love Rae." We all laughed at that, and uncle Qrow did his best to hug us without touching Raven.
He got close to touching her though, and Yang took that moment by the balls. "Uh oh, be careful uncle Qrow, touching mother might CAW-st you." There was another bout of silence at that, then as one, we all groaned.
""""""""YAAANG!"""""""" My sister just laughed at that, and we broke off the hug.
With the hug broken, everyone moved back a bit, and gave me space. The moment had come and gone, and now, it was time to go. I looked at everyone, my family, my bestfriends, and gave them a confidant smirk and a nod. "I'll be back. Love ya guys!" Everyone smiled, and either repeated it, or didn't. And with that said, I mentally signaled for system to go for it.
[Finally! If I had to sit through another few minutes of this mushy shit, I would've lost it.
Initializing World Jump.]
And just like that, the world froze, and my surroundings were replaced by a barren white room. I looked around, because I wasn't expecting this, and just nodded... "Okaaay... System? What is this?" System scoffed, and I rolled my eyes.
['This' is where you'll be in between worlds, and can also be used as a base when you go to new worlds.
You can spend credits, which can be exchanged at a rate of 1M of any currency to 1 credit, to edit both this area, and the one that follows you to other worlds.
You also get credits after a successful world clear.
Do you want to spend credits, you currently have 150 credits, on editing this area?
Or are we going to the next world first?]
Taking that all in, I hummed, and thought about it for a bit. I didn't exactly NEED to go to Destiny yet, so I didn't see anything wrong with upgrading my base. "What can I get with what I got? And you mind exchanging all the Lien I got for credits?"
[Exchanging currency...
Done. You have an additional 80 credits.
Whatcha want?]
That said, system pulled up the list of things I could get, and I hummed. The most expensive configs were motherfucking spaceships, which INCLUDED THE DEATHSTAR! "THE FUCK?!" System sent me its amusement, but I tuned that out. "You know what Yin? Let's just look AWAY from the spaceships that cost over a billion credits."
[Broke bitch.]
"Fuck you too." Going down to the bottom of the list, I looked through it, and found an option I liked.
[Purchase - Soundproof studio apartment.- 200 credits.
Y/N]
Now... Did I know it was going to take almost all my money? Yes. Did I care? Well, yeah... But it was for a good cause, so fuck what I cared about. That thought, I pressed the yes button, and confirmed my purchase. I heard a cashier go off in my head, and rolled my eyes at it. That aside, the room around me shifted, and I watched as it turned from a white void, into something I'd probably see back in New York. The walls were white, the floor wooden planks, and the kitchen had a nice round light in it.
There was a single person bed by the back, which had a nice big window to its right, which would let the light in when I opened the curtains. Though, there wasn't a TV, or couches, or a rug, so I'd need to get those on my own. "Eh, good enough." With that done, I turned towards my other screen, the one with my world list, and grinned. "Alright. Space, here I come!" I was about to hit Destiny, when system piped in.
[You SURE you want to go there? There are funner worlds on your list you know.]
I rolled my eyes that. "Oh I know. But I know where I want to go. I'm not going to choose anything else, or choose random a...-" System cheered in my mind, and I froze.
[Perfect! Rolling!]
I blinked, then paled as I saw the jump list disappear, and get replaced by a fucking gacha machine. "SYSTEM! STOP! STOPSTOPSTOP!"
[Too late! The gacha gods have spoken!]
I froze as the machine stopped spinning, and held my breath as the result came out. And when I read it, I felt physically ill, despite Gamer's Body.
[Huh... Oops?]
"DON'T OOPS ME YOU FUCK!" System had the motherfucking GALL to OOPS ME?! Fuck no! But no matter how much I disliked this, I couldn't stop it.
[Beginning jump in 10.

Then, my world shifted. One second, I felt like I was moving, and then the next, I wasn't. Thanks to my senses as a Werewolf, I could hear my surroundings, feel the light coming through my window, and smell the air... And I was already hearing gunshots... Then I saw system give me a little fucking window, to solidify where I was. The world with a recommended level of 750-1,500... The world I knew NOTHING about...
[Welcome to Worm. Try not to die.]
I stared at it for a moment, then screamed with all my might. "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...-"
Yup. Yin, is now in Worm. Let's see how that goes.I'll say it now, this WILL play a roll in HOW Maccillian gets to Worm. I'll enjoy seeing everyone guess.
Anyway, a pretty big chapter where a few things happened, other then that.
Saya and Katsuki have met, and she hit him with a wombo combo, knocking his ass out. Cool. Now, before anyone jumps to conclusions. Katsuki will NOT be getting redeemed. It's bullshit to me that he's redeemed in the anime, so I'm not doing it here. If you like him, then that's fine for you and all, I just don't. I'm of the mind Midoriya just has Stockholm Syndrome. Anyway, this is just the first of many sleights I'll fuck him over with.
What else... Ah. Nine. So, before anyone jumps to conclusions about how and why I've had Maccillian go get his quirk.
After the Golden Morning, Nine's damage was healed. Yay. But afterwards, he most likely wondered if his damage would return if he used his quirk. So, for a few days, he experiments. A rainstorm here, some winds there, some rather tame things. Afterwards, he discovered there's less strain, and then moves onto something bigger. AKA, a hurricane. Now, this is the future, so I'm assuming they have advanced weather detection in their time, so they should be able to understand if it was natural or not.
After figuring out it's unnatural, they look up likely villains or heroes that can do that kind of thing. Lo and behold, Nine/Tempest. Putting the blame on him, they move on.
But, Izuku, being the quirk nerd that he is, looks into it and has him in one of his new journals he uses to prepare for his role as a hero.(To those who get the reference in his notes, aye. Not that it's difficult to figure out.) Anyway, obviously, he showed it to Saya, who then calls Maccillian about the dude that can make literal fucking hurricanes, and lets loose the dog of war.
Some searching later, I'd imagine Nine was SOMEWHERE in the vicinity to use his quirk, and Maccillian hunts him down. Getting his quirk. Is this out of nowhere? Yes. Do I care? No. After this, there will be one more quirk he gets for himself. You all can probably guess it, so there's no point in saying it.
Also, the Golden Baby and the whole enhanced humanity thing. The Golden Baby was the first EMITTER type recorded. There most likely WAS a quirk before it, but it didn't have any outward affects. That thing is my excuse for why people in My Hero can do what they do. What I mean by that are people like Stain, Aizawa, Toga, and I guess Izuku to a lesser extent. Aside from Izuku, none of them have durability, speed, strength, or other effect type quirks.
But Stain moves like a fucking ninja, eats hits from Izuku, Ilda, and Shoto. Like, huh?
Then there's Aizawa, who somehow, despite grievous injuries, ISN'T killed when the Nomu bashes his brains into the ground at U.S.J. Like, the fuck?
Then there's Toga. For all intents and purposes, she's an assassin with skills far superior to another 17 year old with a combat oriented quirk. She also has that stealth thing she does, so yeah.
THEN there's Izuku. Who sure, he gets durability from One For All, but he literally BLOWS HIS FUCKING ARMS UP MULTIPLE TIMES AND DOESN'T LOSE THEM! Now sure, you can say plot armor, but here, that is going to have an explanation.
So yeah, my quirk theory.
