#4

The next day:

"Are you sure this is going to work?" Shinso asked, eyeing the building in front of him lazily.

Shoto shrugged, "They would probably recognise me and let us have the information."

"Uh... why are we doing this, again?"

Shoto looked at Shinso as if the latter was stupid, "We are going to confirm whether 'Creepy Dude' is indeed-"

"Ugh not that!" Shinso interrupted, "I mean, why? Like, why is creepy dude so keen on assuring us and why are we taking his word at face value and are now doing exactly what he wanted?"

"Maybe because he's a good Pro Hero?"

"...."

"I don't think he likes Endeavour as well."

Shinso sighed, "Let's just get the confirmation for now."

Shrugging, Shoto walked into the station followed by a nervous Shinso. The staff immediately recognised the former and let him in while some eyed Shinso with suspicion.

"A-Ah, Todoroki-san. How can I help you?" The officer at the front desk asked, standing up from his seat.

Shinso's face contorted into disgust at the submissive attitude. Is this how low people regard themselves with respect to power?

"I need to confirm a phone number. Do you have access?"

"I do, yes, indeed." The officer replied nervously, "I cannot, however, disclose information. May I know the number and what you need confirmed?"

Shoto gave him the number, "Does this number belong to a pro hero?"

The officer entered the number into the system and smiled at the result. "Indeed."

"Whose is it?" Shinso piped, causing the officer to frown.

"I'm sorry I cannot disclose the name and any other details to anyone."

Shoto tilted his head and pointed to himself, "How about me?"

"I'm sorry, Todoroki-san. This is classified. All I can do for you is confirm the details you already know."

Shrugging, the dual quirk user turned around and dragged Shinso out of the station.

"Hey what's wrong with you??!"

"Illegal quirk usage would land you in jail and me in trouble with my old man."

Shinso blinked and huffed, "I wasn't going to use my quirk!"

"You definitely were planning to."

"For someone oblivious, you sure have good Intuition."

Shoto smiled at the compliment, causing Shinso to sigh yet again. They stopped by the food court as Shinso promised to buy Shoto soba if he was right about the police giving him privilege. Shinso pulled his phone out to text the results in the group.

As soon as the kids left the station, the poor officer rushed into the authority room and dialed a number.

"They were here a-and I did just as y-you asked!"

"Oh? Good job!"

Morons Assemble

NocturnalPaintBrush: He is a pro hero.

WreckItAll: Really??
WreckItAll: Who is it?

FixItFelix: Woah he wasn't lying?

NocturnalPaintBrush: I couldn't get his name since it's confidential or something.

WreckItAll: Awh man..

FixItFelix: Makes sense
FixItFelix: Where is Shoto?

NocturnalPaintBrush: I'm keeping my promise.

WreckItAll: Ohhhhhh Soba?

NocturnalPaintBrush: Yup.

ConspiringPeppermint has sent an attachment

ConspiringPeppermint: It looks tasty.

WreckItAll: It does! Can I have some (⁠◔⁠‿⁠◔⁠)

NocturnalPaintBrush: We're nowhere near your place, Izu.

FixItFelix: How about I buy you some next week?

WreckItAll: ..... do you have a new contraption you need me to test out?

FixItFelix: Yessss!!
FixItFelix: This new baby is designed to copy and store the quirk energy and act as a reserve when the user is tired so that they can recover while it runs.

WreckItAll: Holy shit really?
WreckItAll: But I don't have one, though?

FixItFelix: Oh I wanna know what it will be like on a quirkless person.

WreckItAll: Okay! (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠)

NocturnalPaintBrush: ... are you gonna test that out on me?

FixItFelix: No, silly! Shoto will help me (⁠^⁠∇⁠^⁠)⁠ノ⁠♪

ConspiringPeppermint: Okay.

FixItFelix: Such a good boy!

ConspiringPeppermint: Thank you.

NocturnalPaintBrush: <Pukes>

FixItFelix: You can't be half as obedient.

NocturnalPaintBrush: Wouldn't ever try to

WreckItAll: I'm obedient!

NocturnalPaintBrush: Because you're as crazy as her!

FixItFelix: Yes you are! Yes you are!

NocturnalPaintBrush: Stop treating them like puppies, Mei!

FixItFelix: ಠ⁠_⁠ʖ⁠ಠ
FixItFelix: That aside, I really want a double confirmation.

WreckItAll: About?

NocturnalPaintBrush: Do you want to inquire in another station?

FixItFelix: Izu, can you drop by in an hour?

WreckItAll: Yup!! I have to go out with mom to buy groceries anyway. Would 2 hours be okay?

FixItFelix: Sure
FixItFelix: Meet me at the Ice Cream parlor.

WreckItAll: Okeh!(⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

ConspiringPeppermint: Do you need me to go with?

FixItFelix: Nah, I'll manage.

NocturnalPaintBrush: Translation: "I'll get arrested for inappropriate behavior. Have the bail money ready."

ConspiringPeppermint: As much money as needed

WreckItAll: I'll be keeping an eye on her, though!

NocturnalPaintBrush: Translation: "H e l p   m e"

WreckItAll:....

FixItFelix: I ain't the one who thought of using my quirk at a police station >:[

NocturnalPaintBrush: Wait- how do you know that?

ConspiringPeppermint: I told her.

NocturnalPaintBrush: When??? I was here all along!

ConspiringPeppermint: We talk shit about you in our private chat

FixItFelix: You weren't supposed to say it, Shoto ಠ⁠︵⁠ಠ
FixItFelix: Not that it makes a difference anyway...

NocturnalPaintBrush: Why am I not surprised?

WreckItAll: If it makes you feel any better, I don't do that behind your back.

NocturnalPaintBrush: I know, Izu. You're the best, unlike some people!

WreckItAll: I do it right in front of you (^_^)

NocturnalPaintBrush: (⁠ノ⁠`⁠Д⁠'⁠)⁠ノ⁠彡⁠┻⁠━⁠┻
NocturnalPaintBrush: I hate you guys

NocturnalPaintBrush is offline

FixItFelix: Oops!

ConspiringPeppermint: I finished my Soba. He's paying the bill now.

FixItFelix: Extort as much money as possible from him (⁠ノ゚⁠0゚⁠)⁠ノ

WreckItAll: ^

ConspiringPeppermint: Okay.

WreckItAll: No-

FixItFelix: Shhhhhhh(・⁠・⁠)
