Nightclub: Deathworlders
Deathworlders was one of the premiere spots on the resort island. Originally a pirate paradise, this club had straightened out its illicit roots and had become a top destination for those who needed it. Which currently included Nana Yamada, a time quirk user who had been sent as a delegate for the Senate for talks.
"Name?" The first bouncer asked the woman.
"Yamada, Nana."
Her face was scanned by the cybernetically enhanced eyepiece the bouncer had. Something dinged and the velvet red rope was lifted for her entrance. She stepped in before the second bouncer stopped her and gave her the key.
"Gift from the Brains."
Nana nodded and took it. The Brains was in attendance? Nana thought he was just a NEET who hated human companionship. So be it, she needed to get this over and done with and maybe catch something to eat.
"Ms. Yamada, please follow me." A butler greeted the woman.
"Thank you."
Chatter in the din was apparent. Glances to the pair felt like stabs in the dark. Nana stopped after the butler knocked on the door twice. It opened to show a familiar face. Shinso Hitoshi.
"Your guest has arrived, sir."
The violet haired man looked at Nana and nodded.
This was a pleasant surprise. He was a head and shoulders taller now in his third year. He never really spoke to her outside of polite classroom interactions but why was the mindfreak here?
"Do you want anything Ms. Yamada?"
"Ah yes, can I get a couple of margaritas sent up? Also food would be appreciated."
The butler nodded.
Shinso allowed her inside the meeting room. Inside was the sitting holographic group of Villains who had asked for the Senate. Most of them were Yakuza, but another face surprised Nana.
Kaminari, Denki. Beside him Shinso sat. Nana wondered why these two were here in this meeting but said nothing about it.
"I apologise for the wait, I was stuck at the airport." Nana apologised to the gathering. The one to her immediate right was a shark faced man tall and built like a brick shithouse.
"No worries Yamada, The Cardinal otherwise engaged?" The shark asked through his sea based maw.
"Unfortunately so." Nana answered simply. The chatter stopped when a clap came from the meeting caller. He would have been seen as a model if he wasn't holographic.
"Thank you for your attendance." The leader commented. "This is of the utmost importance since the Senate has called each of us to arms. Is that right, Yamada?"
"He has spoken of the charge forward because of the Meta rebellion, yes." Nana answered smoothly.
"Is he using all his wives?"
"Yes." Nana answered.
"What about Hel and Dionysus?"
"I assume the same, Hel has been more than willing to cross with her army of undead for a month now."
The butler returned with two trays, a gorgeous looking pizza and her own jug of margarita.
"Thank you so much, I missed having lunch." Nana said happily.
Kaminari sniffed the air.
"Can I have a piece?" He asked.
Nana glared at the blond who pouted.
"Fine, but you need to give me one back." She pulled a piece from the pie for the blond. She then offered to her Shark friend, to which he gladly accepted.
"Yamada."
"Sorry sir, I was hungry. But if the plan is going full hog the Senate was more than happy to help. The Leviathan is currently stationed in a volcano and the Russian branch is mobilising as soon as given the word."
"He is taking this seriously?" A waifish woman dressed in a black pantsuit leaned forward.
"Very much so." Yamada answered.
There was a brief pause, then Shinso was about to ask a question when the brains stopped him.
"No quirks greenhorn." He warned. Brains returned his gaze to Nana.
"Will you be participating in the conflict, Yamada?"
"I am currently a diplomat, though if push comes to shove I can fight." Nana said with a smile.
"I wish to have you with me through the war."
Nana didn't react.
"Insurance if the plan goes awry?"
"Correct."
"I can accept that."
The Brains nodded and the group began to chat amongst themselves. Nana was quietly eating her pizza. Shinso sent a weird look to Yamada as she herself entered a boisterous conversation with the Shark man. When the conversation died and the others departed only Yamada, Brains and the waif were left.
"Yamada, meet me in ten minutes." He disengaged himself and left her stunned. The waif nodded and departed as well.
