__________ POV Beru__________
Now, I have run into a hurdle already. I plan to go drinking with that water dude hero. Well, I guess that's both the plan and the goal. (whatever)
This first hurdle would be... How exactly do I even contact him? I don't know where he lives.
Now, I realise that this is like tripping over my own feet at the start of the race. But it's not like I'm used to inviting people for drinks. Vlad was usually the initiator in those exchanges...
Wait... I think there was that group of heroes that were taking care of their kid. Maybe they know where I can find him.
Problem is... Where do I find them? I don't want to just fly over the entire forest all day and hope to find them.
But that's exactly what I ended up doing. I did eventually find a few buildings in the middle of a clearing in the forest.
It was easy to see, but I didn't really look in that side of the forest a lot. Anyway, I found them, doesn't matter anymore.
I landed near the front door of the building... And 'surprisingly' they weren't actually there! I guess they just happened to take the little one for a small trip to the woods?
Well, regardless, I am now a bit confused... I guess I will wait around here for a few days. It's summer anyway, I don't have anything better to do.
So, I kept coming back to that place for about a week. Then I decided to spend a night there. (cuz nobody cares what I do with my free time anyway)
I didn't really get specific instructions, I can just pretend I was training the entire night or something. Not that they'll ask me or anything.
So, I may or may not have broken into one of the apartments there and just fell asleep. I didn't expect to wake up to an entire group of kids.
Well, I guess they are all my age currently(like 16). Well, they aren't alone, a few adults are with them. By their clothes, I can tell they're heroes.
The kids are a bit out of place though...
"T-Teacher! A stranger's here?!" What? That's the reaction I get? What happened to my fame?
"That's strange, this place was supposed to be empty... Oh." One in the group of cat people finally noticed me. She's the cousin of that brat.
I just waved at her, she seemed to rub her forehead for a few seconds.
I could see the 'teachers' tense up. Wait, is this one of those hero schools I've heard so much about? It seems like it, teens studying to save people under other heroes.
My wave seemed to confuse said, teachers. I don't really recognize any of them, but there's only two of them, and I am really not that great at remembering names.
One lady in skin-tight clothes and bondage gear(nice) and a guy with the head of a killer whale(dope).
"A-are villains attacking us?" Bondage woman asked she seemed confused as she held her whip with both hands.
"Umm, he doesn't look that aggressive..." Why are they just speaking to each other?
"Oy, don't pretend I'm not here!~" Notice me.
"Oh, sorry about that! We're just wondering if this is a villain attack or not..." The orca guy rubbed his head a bit.
"Nah~ I'm in my free time~ No villain business~," I said reassuringly. This may not have sounded as peaceful as I wanted it to, it kinda implies that I would attack them otherwise.
"I see... Why are you in our secret training location?" This time, one of the cat people spoke up. She's the blonde one, I think she's the one that controlled the earth. (can't be sure)
The students just watched with intrigue. I guess they were expecting some action or something?
"Oh~ I train near here usually~ But I was looking for you weird cat people~" I could hear a few snickers at the mention of 'cat people'. The blonde woman also seemed a bit annoyed.
"Well... Hello? What did you want with us?" Asked Kota's cousin.
"Where do I find Kota's parents? Water hero dude that I saved?" Now that I think about it, if I just flew around the province for a bit I would've found him faster. But I was just lazy.
"Why do you... You know what. You do you. Kids! Everyone go take your stuff to your rooms!" Shouted bondage woman.
The students listened to her, a few of them were still giving me wary looks, but the teachers were just ushering them to move on.
That's odd, I was expecting them to at least try and fight me, you know since they're heroes and all that.
Unless they were specifically told not to fight me... Did that All Might dude have something to do with this? Maybe, I don't know.
"Well, I'll tell you! But you better stop calling us weird cat people!" Said Kota's cousin. She then introduced everyone to me.
She told me both their hero names and actual names. But I'll just use the hero ones.
Mandalay is the cousin, Pixie-Bob is the blonde earth bender, Ragdoll is the green-haired gal that seems overly excited all the time and Tiger is the crossdressing burly dude.
"I'm Beru~ Nice to meet you all~" It's only polite that they also get to know my name.
They looked at each other a few times. I guess they're contemplating what to do in this situation.
Eventually, one of them decided to answer my question(finally).
"I guess you're looking for Uncle Nao.... But I still need to know why you are looking for him! I don't want to just give up his location all willy nilly!" Mandalay spoke up.
Now, she calls that guy uncle, but he's only like 10 years older than her. And, fair enough, she would want to know my reasons.
"I want to drink with him~" No reason to lie about this. It's not like I'm doing a crime. Well, I guess I'm still underage, but they don't know that.
They looked at me for a bit. Tiger just widened his eyes and blinked a bit. Is it really that unusual? Or is drinking not acceptable in Japan?
I mean, I think it is, they even have alcohol produced in the country. It must be...
"Ummm, sure? I guess. He lives in Musutafu, at this address. Say hi to little Kota for us." Mandalay just said with an empty face. Why do I feel like they're judging my drinking habits?
Well, whatever. "Thanks~ Good luck with the training!" I said as I flew off. They just waved goodbye at me.
Finally, time to meet that dude again.
__________ POV Narration __________
"Can someone explain to me what just happened?" The blond Pixie-Bob asked, still flabbergasted at the odd encounter with 'Japan's most infamous villain'.
That title itself now seemed more like a joke than anything.
"I think I don't want to think about it too much..." Said Tiger, as he slapped his face with both hands.
"I mean... He seems like a fun person!" Said Ragdoll, she seemed to find amusement in the situation.
"I guess he is... We already know he's not dangerous though. At least not to Kota's family and us..." Mandalay said as she thought about the situation a bit.
The Wild, Wild Pussycats were not the only ones confused by the situation.
Both Gang Orca and Midnight didn't really know what to make of Beru's appearance. They already knew about him and his identity from Nezu, they were advised not to engage when meeting him.
Same for every hero in UA. They all knew of this, student-aged, powerful villain. Now they found out that he was also a weirdo.
But Midnight knew something now, Beru was by no means a danger to society. The guy seemed far too uninterested in fighting them.
Even when they all prepared for combat, he just stood there and stared at them, like the situation had nothing to do with him.
The two teachers obviously asked the Wild, Wild Pussycats about what Beru wanted. And they were told about their previous encounter too.
Thinking about that made Midnight smirk a bit.
Although she was not one to advocate for underage drinking, she found the idea of an infamous villain befriending a group of heroes to be quite interesting.
It was clear enough that Beru didn't really care about those titles though. He just seemed to be living his life. Still, the teachers were worried about what he was planning.
Nezu had said that the plan might be entirely related to his abductors and that it may not affect anyone else. Either that or he planned on taking revenge on society itself.
From these short encounters and his actions in the past, Midnight and Orca could easily deduce that Beru had nothing against heroes and their society.
And Nezu would obviously find out about this too. Not like they would keep it a secret.
