Side Stories #6

"Come on I can't go by myself it would be very lonely without you," Keigo says cuddling with her on the couch

"I don't know if I can join today though. I might be able to make it but I most likely will be my bone hero self," Emily explains

"Please," Keigo says with puppy dog eyes

"I'll try but if I don't come don't cry. Plus it's supposed to be really big with pro heroes, their plus ones, and really famous celebrities going there," Emily says

"I know and this is all for some charity case," Hawks says

"But it's for a good cause," Emily smiles and pokes his nose

"You're cute when you smile. But it's also cute how you forget things so easily," Hawks says and Emily's reaction makes him chuckle

"Oh my god how can I forget I have this meeting I need to go to," Emily says

"Can I drop you off?" Hawks asks

"No," Emily says

Next thing you know Hawks is flying her to a café where the 'meeting' is held

"Bye babe," Emily says and walks inside

"Mhm I see you acting like an entirely different person around him but with us, you ain't playin around," Eliza says with a smirk

"What are you talking about?" Emily asks

"I saw the tension between you two as if you not even dating. What is going on?" Eliza says

"Nothing at all just a normal couple in a normal relationship," Emily says and sits down in a seat across from Eliza

"Oh hey, who are you?" Emily asks seeing a girl next to Eliza

"Hello, my name is Kana I'm Eliza's GIRLFRIEND!! And I used to be a challenger," Kana says introducing herself

"Oh god, who did they trade you for?" Emily asks

"EMILY!!" Eliza shouts in an annoying voice

"What? I just wanted to know- I mean how bad can you be to be here," Emily says

"I wasn't traded I decided on my own. I saw a bunch of helpless people and decided well why don't I give them at least some bit of hope of actually succeeding," Kana says and the face Emily made was priceless

"You can change societies I wish I would've known that cause I would've gone to become a Challenger," Emily says putting her face in into her hands

"Anyways my brother is gonna be late so why don't we start planning," Eliza suggest

"Fine but if he comes askin' 'what are we doin' dibs not it?" Emily says and Eliza rolls her eyes

"Okay here's the deal Emily you need to bring me along with you as a plus one to the party while brother and sister work technically. I would advise you would be a distraction if something comes up. One brother and sister get in the smallest person (me) must get into the vents and sneak into it and let out as many animals as possible," Kana and the two looks at her with the most confused face

"What?!?!" Eliza and Emily say

"You'll see," Kana says with a smile leaving the two more confused

"Welcome everyone to the biggest charity event of the year and possibly most amazing masquerade gala event of the year," A news reporter says

"Damn this place is gonna be packed and we're gonna get caught if we don't play our cards right," Kana says and turns to Emily

"Yeah I know but how will we know when the right time is?" Emily ask

"You will know- now let's show them how amazing your dresses are," Kana says and gets out of the car first

"Well I got my hair straightened for the first time in forever so let's freaking go," Emily says and gets out of the limo

Blinding lights were everywhere as the cameras flashed

A red velvet carpet in front of her leading her to her next destination

Emily started walking with Kana across the carpet as if it was in slow motion

That's what the whole world seemed to be to Emily just one movie and this was the best part

"Well look here we have the famous Emily S. here with her plus one looking good," The news reporter says

"Wow, I've done plenty of missions but never one that involves a red-carpet event. Impressive!!!" Kana says impressed

"Thanks, I guess," Emily and Kana walk inside

"Woah!!" Kana says

"This place is big," Emily says amazed

"Now that we're here let's get it started," Kana says, and the two separates

Emily walks around inspecting every part of the gala

A red feather circles around her distracting her

The feather goes behind her making her turn around

It was Hawks and he was waving with the feather

"Hey babe I guess I got lucky cause I was able to come," Emily says

"Well, at least I won't be bored now that you are with me. Did you get a haircut?" Hawks says noticing her hair

"Oh no I just straightened my hair. And yes it's naturally white," Emily explains

"I like your hair better when it's natural, like when it's curly but I also like this too," Hawks says and kisses her hand

'And this is the reason why he has a whole fan club full of black people,' Emily thinks

"Well thank you don't get all gushy remember we can't act like we're dating or else-" Emily was interrupted

"I don't mind if the world," Hawks says and pulls her close to him

"Yeah but it's not what I want and right now I gotta go love ya," Emily says and pecks him on the lips before leaving

What she said indeed surprised him but he just smiles

"Love you too Emily," Hawks says

Emily walks away and spots her friend

"Hey Kitty Hey Alison, "Emily waves at them while walking toward them

"Hey Emily," Alison says

"Oh Hey Emily you came with your plus one," Kitty says nudging Emily

"Yeah, my plus one is a friend of mine Kana. I also heard that today is your and Jacobs anniversary," Emily says

"Well yeah been dating for three years living together for a year," Kitty says rubbing the back of her head

"No need to be shy about it unless you want to take your relationship to the next level and get married…" Alison says making Kitty blush

"Well unless he wants to even though I never thought about him as husband material," Kitty says and that confuses Emily

"Why he seems fine to me?" Emily asks

"Well he's actually very active I mean very very hyper and compared to me I'm always tired," Kitty says as if she was boasting

"Okay isn't he literally part dog maybe he's a certain type of dog that super hyper," Alison says in a curious tone

"Well the problem is this look at him right now he looks as if he's had multiple gallons of coffee," Kitty says pointing to him

"What's wrong with being super hyper you obviously haven't seen my sister?" Emily asks

"Well here's the thing I think he for some reason is taking drugs- okay I shouldn't be saying that about my boyfriend but he's too happy," Kitty says and the two just look at If she's crazy

"There's nothing wrong with him I mean he is just a positive person," Emily says

"No, but when he talks- he's just way too happy but you gotta admit no one is that happy like just he might as well just be wearing a happy face mask," Kitty says worried

"Okay listen nothing wrong with him being a little happy maybe you should calm down a bit it's not his fault for wanting to- I don't know change for you," Emily says

"Come on you need to stop thinking these terrible thoughts of your future husband and go along with it," Allison says shaking her

"True. Anyways you think Director Brown is gonna allow you to have tattoos on set?" Kitty asks

"Maybe maybe not I just know I'm not taking this off," Emily says

"Okay E do your thang just don't get fired while doing your thang," Allison says

"Well too bad they're gonna have to deal with it," Emily says with

Someone with a tray of food distracts her and she follows it

"I ain't even surprised that's what she said. She'll do what she wants when she wants just the facts," Allison says

"She's a diva," Kitty says crossing her arms

Emily tapped on the waiter with the tray

"Ah how smart of you to notice that I was in disguise," Kana says and that surprises Emily

"Yeah I totally knew you were in disguise and did not come to you for food," Emily lies

"Perfect now do you have your outfit ready?" Kana asks

"Yeah, but what do you want me to do?" Emily answers Kana points at the Ceiling

"Oh god don't tell me," Emily says and next thing you know she's crawling through some ceiling vents

"Okay I'm surprised I can even fit through these vents cause they're tiny," Emily says looking through some of the vents

Emily sees Hawks who is sitting with pro heroes but through the fake persona he wanted her to be there in that empty seat next to him

"I promised him that I would be there with him…today," Emily says and feels her eyes turn purple

Emily tried her best to keep her tears in check

Emily had her earpiece in when she heard Kana talking with someone

Kana sat in a seat with Elliott, Andrés, and Vanessa who were all wearing masks

"Finally I did your stupid deed can I go back to America now," Kana whines as she sat down in her seat

"Wait a minute need to see how this works out first. I didn't make you date Domino for nothing, we need to get closer to Emily we needed someone who she connects easily with someone…. To confess to," Elliott says

"You can't be keepin my number one assassin for too long I'm gonna need her back," Vanessa says and takes a sip of wine

"See even Vanessa agrees I wanna get away from here. It sucks ass," Kana says looking at the stage in front of her

"The only reason I'm agreein is because I'm gettin' fed otherwise I would never accept y'all to hurt my niece. Call me Wimpy from Popeye I just love food," Andrés says putting his hands up

"We need to figure out the truth about her she's very…weird," Elliott says and looks at some cards

"Great what quirk she stole thing future telling cards," Andrés jokes

"Yep the daughter of All for One getting whatever the hell she wants," Vanessa says going onto her phone

Kana slams the table and points at Elliott

"That chick wanna think she's such a hot shit just because you spoil her like you used to with Domino. That chick may be great when it comes to fighting but this sucks at everything else YOU PROBABLY ONLY WANT HER CAUSE SHE'S HOT!!" Kana yells

"Calm down we already have people looking at us," Vanessa says covering her face with her hand

"Drinks and food," Someone says that makes the four jump in their seats

"Kenji you scared me," Kana says still trying to calm down

Kenji looked so done with the world with his eye roll and black tux

"Kenji did you hear everything?" Elliott asks

"Yes indeed and I could care less about who this person is I just wanna go back to the UK," Kenji says

"Just go," Kana says

"You told us you had a special performance for us," Elliott says

"Yep and it should be here," Kana says and the lights go out

"Here we go," Kana says

As the light was off Emily fell through the ceiling and was right above the stage

The lights went on her as she was on a silk rope hanging on

"This song goes out to my boyfriend the person I love the most," Emily says and winks at Hawks who smiles warmly

"So she is your girlfriend? like I thought," Mirko says

"She's just so incredible," Hawks says and puts his head in his hands

Emily lands very gracefully as the music starts

Kana is shocked

"Um this wasn't supposed to happen," Kana says, and Elliott

"Look around here we are again familiar territory We all know the story," Emily sings

"Oh my god you can't be serious there's no way she would ever pick this song," Vanessa says

(That's right y'all rainbow high songs)

"We're electrified the sparks fly and all the colors shine." Emily sings

Kana touches her microphone

"Domino to Kana can you hear me? Eliza are you- shit she's not answering," Kana says mad

"What is your plan?" Elliott asks

"What?" Kana says surprised

"You obviously do have a plan right? I mean I didn't hire you for nothing great assassins never rely on plan A," Elliott says and leaves the seat

Kana puts her head in her hands

' Damn it damn it DAMN IT!!! Come on I gotta think where could they be,' Kana thinks

"Wait a minute the control that's where she must be," Kana says and gets up to leave

As Kana left the spotlight went on two people

"Ohhh you and I, We're gonna light up the sky" Kitty sings as she looks at Jacob

"Here tonight It's all over live," Alison sings

Kitty takes Alison and teleports on stage to Emily

"Ooh. The sparks fly and all the colors shine," Emily sings

"When you're standing here with me we're stars that collide," Kitty sings

"Wow a little performance from three famous people specifically Emily surprising," Mirko says sitting with Hawks

"What do you mean?" Hawks asks

"Well, she said that she would never ever sing again and she does it after what? two years? Unless she truly loves singing she will never sing in front of people," Mirko explains and that surprises Hawks

"Hey heroes do you mind if I sit here for a bit got nowhere else to go," Eliza says masked, and sits next to Endeavor

"The sparks fly," Three ends as little rainbow glitter falls

The crowd claps and Eliza starts causing drama the light stays on the stage as Eliza steals a microphone

"Hey wait a minute I hope you're not clapping for that circus show I mean of course Emily would know she used to be in one," Eliza says as she walks onto the stage

The other two eyes widened as they looked at Emily who knew she had to keep her cool

"Listen to people if this wasn't part of the plan I'd kill this boogie ass nig- black person," Emily says to the audience

Most of the audience thought she was funny

"As someone part of the LGBTQ community I must admit they not only ruined the rainbow flag for me but Kitty you did a helluva job playing a straight person," Eliza jokes and Kitty takes it cause she thinks it's funny even though it kinda hurts

"Well Alison-" Erika was interrupted

"You keep talking and I'll beat your ass like Erika over here," Alison says and Emily just puts her hands in the air

"Damn I don't even have to say anything you just look like you came back from playing the biggest rage game in…history life," Erika says Alison likes that and so does the audience

The three sit down with Jacob and have a conversation with him

"Okay let me just say it now when are you two gonna get married," Alison says and Kitty blush

"Ally really," Kitty says

"Well, why not?" Jacob says and gets on one knee

"Um, Jacob what are doing?" Kitty asks

"For those who are asking my name is Erika I'm the daughter of the host of this gala for now I'll be replacing him while he's out," Erika says and the lights go on

Erika notices how Jacob is proposing to Kitty

"Omg you two are getting married," Erika says pointing at the two

"Kitty Bank I've known you four years and dated for four years. You have kept me so happy these past years and I was so happy today cause I was ready to do this here," Jacob says and Kitty understood

"Oh really Jacob, you were happy because you wanted to propose to her," Emily says and looks at Kitty

"Yes and Kitty I want you to" Zachary was interrupted

"Yes I'll marry you because I'm so frickin in love with you and I want to stay with you even if you ever become a drug addict," Kitty says and kisses him

Erika walks into the middle

"THAT WAS A YES!!!" Erika says and the room claps

Jacob breaks the kiss

"Very specific but that's just how you are," Jacob says and the two hug

Emily goes on her phone and starts texting Hawks

"Well Emily I heard that you have a 'boyfriend' is he hot?" Alison asks

"Why do you care? What you want to steal him from me?" Emily asks sarcastically

"Unless he's hot. Tell me who he is," Allison demands

"Just look behind you," Emily says Allison looks behind her to see Hawks One table away

Alison was shocked

"You did it you achieved the final level and found Japan's hottest man alive and you're dating him," Alison says and Emily chuckles

"You know you're still talking about my boyfriend right," Emily says

"But come on the second hottest black female alive dating the hottest Japanese man alive," Alison says

"Who is the hottest black female then?" Emily asks

"You and Zendaya are tied while Beyoncé is in the hottest. I vote on mainly who looks pretty with and without makeup," Alison says

"Aw you think I'm pretty without makeup," Emily says

"Well you don't wear makeup majority of the time like it's a rare occasion to see you with makeup," Alison says

Meanwhile with Kana

Kana was so confused she turned on the light and no one was in the room

"Where are you?" Kana asks and looks at the camera to see the three all there

"Oh no," Kana says

"Kana Matsuba you have failed me so much," Elliott says and Kana was on her knees

"Please Elliott give me a chance," Kana begs

"I will you just have to join the defenders and all will be forgiven," Elliott says

"I don't wanna die so I'll do it," Kana says so worriedly

"Good so now let's hope Vanessa understands that now you're my personal spy. Whoever I tell you to watch you will watch," Elliott says

Meanwhile, Emily left and texted Hawks to meet him on the roof

"Hey, you wanted to meet me up here?" Hawks asks

Emily was leaning on the glass barrier (that protected people from falling off)

"Yeah, I wanted to know. What would you ever do if I suddenly like left," Emily asked looking forward

"You mean to stop being a pro hero?" Hawks ask

"Something like that," Emily answers

"Well it's your choice and I'll love you either way," Keigo says

"Okay I just need to spend time with my family specifically my sister cause I haven't seen her in two years," Emily says putting her head down

"You really miss them huh," Keigo says

"Yeah I want to see them again and stay with them as long as it takes I just need to see them again," Emily says

"If you want to go I'm cool with it," Keigo says

Emily hugs him

"I'm glad you understand," Emily says hugging him

"I love you when your soft like this," Keigo says

"I love you when your understanding like this," Emily says and taps his nose

"Did you just say you love me?" Keigo says and looks into Emily's eyes

"Yeah 'cause it's the truth. Gotta problem with it," Emily says staring into his eyes

"Nope not at all," Hawks says with a small smirk

The two share a romantic kiss

Emily knew this wouldn't last forever but for now, she wanted to live in the moment

"Sorry not sorry Emily but I'm not dying tonight," Kana says hiding behind a door with a picture of the two

Kana, Kana, KANA!!!

Kana woke from her dream to see Eliza sitting next to her while Emily was on the other side

"We were talking about how Emily is back with her ex before Kenji," Eliza says, and Kana yawns

"Did she have sex yet?" Kana asks

"Yes, and I did it with him," Emily says and that woke up Kana says

Kana for some reason looks up into the air

"Oh my god Kana dont tell me you're picturing that," Emily says and Eliza responds with an "ew"

"Listen I do that all the time plus something about what you said can't be right," Kana says

"Well did sleep in his bed?" Eliza asks

"Yes," Emily answers

"Did you sleep with your squishmellow?" Kana asks

"You have squishmellows?" Eliza asks

"Well, I get lonely in my house so I got like ten squishmellows I sleep with and talk to," Emily admits with a pouty lip

"Yep she definitely lost her virginity but I still am surprised," Kana says tiredly

"Kana Matsuba we need to talk," Elliott texted to Kana and that left her aggravated
