Chapter 19


"On a scale of one to done how do you feel?" You glanced over at Touya trying to figure out if you should grace him with an answer or wasn't it obvious enough how you feel about this?

"I want to take a long walk off a short pier." He snorted rubbing his face to hide his amused grin as you smirked at him. Honestly after learning what those creatures are there is nothing amusing about this situation but, leave it to a Todoroki to make a joke and get a giggle out of you.

"Let's refrain from actually doing that shall we?" You schooled your features smiling apologetically at a very concerned-looking Yagi. You grabbed his hand squeezing it

"I'm sorry that's how I deal with trauma and keep myself from losing it." You saw no need to lie to the man in front of you. Between him and Endeavor they were more father-like than your actual father who you chose not to think about. Honestly, the daddy and mommy issues made you feel like the main character in a hot and upcoming tv show.

"I am very concerned but I will drop it for now." He gave your hand a firm squeeze placing a kiss on it before letting go and turning his attention back to Endeavor who was brainstorming scattering papers on the table and connecting dots and phrases on the white erase board. It was chaotic to watch as he babbled out loud but it made sense when you actually paid attention.

"My mind is working on overdrive and I feel a bit chaotic but I promise it will all make sense in a minute." Touya was standing next to him trying to make sense of all of it but it seemed Rei had already figured it out. After a couple more minutes he had turned to us while pointing between the board and the papers "Okay so the first sign of these creatures was in the Osaka district a little over two weeks ago reported Fatgum. He was put on a case to investigate where these creatures came from. Then a couple of days after these sightings were reported we got in from Eraserhead in Tokyo that he saw them but these were blue instead of the dark-colored ones and some had four arms instead of two. Then more incidents after that were brought up in every district. Hawks in Fukuoka, Burnin in Shizuoka district, Mustafa, Chiba Prefecture, and other places as well. Today I and Touya think we saw one ourselves but this one was dark purple and flying. It was flying too far and fast but it looked like one of those things."

"You mean bio-engineered freaks?" You didn't mean to come off rude or interrupt them but the comment came out on its own.

"What does that mean?" You looked at all of them taking a deep breath and letting it all out. Time to open up about this. They needed all the preparation they can.

"Well, they are technically bio-engineered freaks. The correct term for them though is Nomu and they come in all shapes and sizes and deformities. Some can fly, some can swim, and then some can even talk. They all have regenerative abilities meaning if you cut off an arm or leg or even both then it will just grow back. The only vulnerability they have in their head. The walking ones are easier to get than the talking and flying ones. The most dangerous nomu's he has are the ones that have all the above including changing their forms. Those are the hardest, most dangerous nomu's to come across." It was quiet for a few as they all took it in.

"Do you know where they may have come from?" You blinked before grimacing at all of them. Of course, you knew where they came from you used to watch helplessly as he took people and did all sorts of things to them. You glanced at the 3 younger siblings trying to figure out if they should hear you or not. Rei caught your eyes and she spoke up.

"Nat, 'yumi and Sho go in daddy's office for a few okay?" With no protests at all, they grabbed their things doing as they were told. You waited until they closed the door before you let out a breath "Go ahead baby you can tell us now."

"Okay...Well, those nomu's were once people." It was dead silent and you forgot for two seconds that they are all pro heroes who were taught to school their features. "He would take all sorts of people from the ones he imprisoned, to petty thieves, children who had nowhere to go, orphans. He always exploited those who were at their lowest and weakest. He would get them to follow him by using sweet words and gestures until it was too late. He would knock you out and the next thing you know you're in a dungeon in God's know where. He loved to do experiments to see what would happen using different medications, stealing, and giving away quirks. Those nomu's were once people and now their just, things with multiple quirks." You shook your head remembering the sounds of their please and screams. He was wrong. He was so wrong for everything he ever did.

"Steal and give away quirks?" You nodded your head in affirmation. "What does that even mean?" You gave a sad smile wiping your hand down your face to try and scrub away all the memories. You seriously needed Kaen at the moment.

"Well there is only one type of nomu that could steal and give away quirks and that's the blue flying ones. As long as you don't let them touch your head they won't steal it. The reason why Hiro made that kind of nomu is that he's obsessed with overthrowing heroes. He hates heroes with a passion even though he used to be one. That is also why he's dangerous as well. The last time I saw him before the party he had five quirks and God's know how many he has now." It was the truth you didn't know how many he may have had now. The paralysis bomb was definitely new so that was number 6. Who knew what else he had up his sleeve.

"....He has how many quirks?" You turned to Enji who was giving you an incredulous look. Ah yeah, you forgot you never said anything about that to him.

"He had five quirks but, with that paralysis bomb that made six. God knows how many he may have now." It was silent but, there was nothing to say to that. It was the truth.

"This just made shit worse." You winced when Rei smacked Touya but he barely flinched. He was used to being hit for his potty mouth. "Sorry ma but, seriously, so there is a possibility that he has like 10 quirks?" You nodded your head and he grimaced "So what exactly is the plan?" You had an idea but you needed Kaen for this. He told you the real reason he was in Japan. He found out about Hiro coming to Japan to expand his nomu's so he had a suspicion that you were there but, he really didn't believe it until he saw you for his-self.

"We are going to need kaen." They all bristled except Rei but you ignored it. You knew there was some weird tension going on with all of them but that wasn't important right now. "I know he's not your favorite person but he's the one that would know more about this besides myself. His expertise is needed because he is a hero and we are both from the country that these creatures originated from." It was silent, seething silence but it had to be said. You were surprised Mirko and Hawks didn't say anything but they even had a lot of respect for Endeavor when he got into one of these moods. He is the number two hero for a reason.

"Fine, contact him and let him know to meet us here in the next half an hour no exceptions." You said nothing pulling out your phone and texting Kaen that it's an emergency and to get over here asap. In 15 minutes you heard a squawk and wings flapping. You turned to see him hopping trying to straighten out his fluffy feathers. It was the cutest thing you saw him do forcing a giggle out of you.

"Don't laugh dove." You let out another chuckle before grinning watching as he made his way over. He spared glances at everyone nodding and waving at Rei. He stood directly next to you his wing rubbing on you but, you didn't mind. "Now what was I called here for?"

"Y/N said you know something about the nomu's and that your expertise will be needed." God Bless All Might that sweet man. He deserved the world.

"Well...nomu's are genetically modified creatures with multiple abilities and quirks. Some are capable of flight, human speech, and human intellect. They come in beige, blue, grey, and dark purple colors. The ones you got to watch are the flying purple ones that can talk, and the flying blue ones steal quirks if they touch your head. I'm working for the hero commission in Magnolia. Hiro has been sentenced to death but he escaped and they have been searching for him all over. I was sent here to Japan when it was discovered that he was sending Nomu's here. He had already overtaken 3 other countries and it's suspected that he is essentially the ring leader. If he goes then all the nomu have no one to listen to and become dumbed-up creatures. The flying ones won't fly and the talking ones won't talk. They will become mindless zombies that cannot regenerate making them easy to kill." It was once again silent but a weird silence. You looked at everyone and they had a pensive stare looking at him.

"You guys have the death penalty?" It was Rei who asked and it was a good question. Magnolia was definitely more brutal than Japan that's for sure.

"Murder isn't illegal." He grinned at that and you just rolled your eyes at the horrified expressions they had

"To be specific Magnolia is a warrior-like state. Murder can be justified under self-defense or if the person is evil enough or a serial rapist, serial murderer stuff like that. Magnolia is also very quick to kill someone or throw them in jail regardless of their status." That's one thing you appreciated about Magnolia. After Hiro raped and killed many women including your sister you escaped with all the evidence you could muster. The hero commission and police got involved in raiding his hideout and home and found so much torture equipment, evidence of experimenting, dried blood, and all the tapes. Some of his henchmen were arrested but the main ones got away. Ever since then he went into hiding and you fled Magnolia without so much of a goodbye to anyone. Your life and safety were at risk along with your parents. He was obsessed with you, he wanted you all to his-self so you fled the country. You just never thought that he would find you.

"Y/N?" You jumped forgetting where you were at the moment looking into everyone's concerned gaze. You smiled sheepishly rubbing the back of your neck

"Just went down memory lane. I'm who he wants. He's obsessed with me for some reason and will stop at nothing to get to me so just...be careful will you? You will not believe what he's capable of especially now since I don't know what quirks he has and what kind of new nomu he may have as well." You felt an arm wrap around you before you were brought into a muscular chest. It was All Might that was holding you and you sink right into the embrace.

"We will all be careful, we are not going to croak that easily." He winked at you and all you did was smile and bury yourself deeper into his hug. For his sake and everyone else's you hope he was right.
