And off into the unaffected layer. In a shoddy warehouse that screamed industry plant laid the lair of one of the world greatest inventors, though still unofficially recognized. The pink dreaded laser focus genius sat hunched over some schematics. Her eyes squinted, valiantly fight off the sleep with three energy drinks and raw will. One would question what was the weight of this discovery that kept her sleepless.
"Ugh!You old crone! What'd you drag me into?!" she screamed. Frustration plain.
"Just one more step. Just one!" she said. Slamming her head against the desk as he shout traversed through the wide clattered workshop, many half compete and prototype invention laid haphazardly throughout the space. Yet, in the space she seat, through chaotic as the space, there was more method to the madness instead the storm of chaos that laid outside her workspace.
"Tch, Fine! Keep your secrets!" she shouts yet again. Before pushing away from the mystery that seemed to be eating at her more recently. Zooming through the workspace through the clattered mess, she rode the chair as a makeshift board through the waves of obsolete junk that mad this workshop. With every near bump or turn or hump. She gracefully weaved through every obstacle activating a few choice items that brought some calm as the stress of a road block to discovery would cause. With a flick a sudden wave of color powered up and that same depress tune rung out through the warehouse.
Clair de lune
She hated this song and how it would always play late night. Her head tired trying to keep up with the madness of his ambition. His brilliance and stupidity always on full display, she never knew which it would be until the moment of truth. Those horrid jokes of electricity and the currents they travelled. She hated how every time it played his biggest dream, his biggest lie, his biggest wish would betray him again and again. The answer denied to him again and again. The thought that there could be a complete unknown, unnerved him, ate at him, swallowed him. His genius dulled, his mind split, his soul gone.
"Momma didn't deserve that, I didn't but" she muttered. Kicking off the wall of a giant cube-like structure. She found herself staring deep up into hole in the ceiling before something out of place stop her momentum and created inertia causing her tumble out of her chair and into the centre of the hole. And a voice called as if taunting, that saying ringing in her hand.
"You're a genius, you'll figure everything out" he said. Patting her head for the last time.
"R-right, I smart, I am smart. Ca-cause I have something you two didn't" she said. Unfazed by the fall she stared up into the hole tears slowly swelling up into her eyes, the hole now oddly looked like an eye. An anomalous one staring down on. However before it's influence began to seep. A sudden clunk as if two cymbals clash it's monkey palms together in nostalgic bliss. Baby No.1, a testament to her genius. Getting up and dusting herself off. She smirked.
"Asami? The Hero Association? The Witnesses? None of you will stop me from reaching there" she said. Grabbing the first of her creations, for a moment she forgot who she was.
"BABIES! START TRAIL 989" she shouted. Ill-fated pride fueling her. Half the warehouse began to fill the room with a kaleidoscope of color. And in that moment the air shifted, and a creak appeared, and her smile almost turned blinding. Before, all the power in the warehouse and the city block shut off for a moment and a wave of pressurized air knocked the wind out from her. As she laid prone for a while, she felt a presence curious, intrigue governing it's gaze. And showman in her couldn't pass up. Take their attention, that's the only way you'd get it.
"Dear viewer, from beyond or nearby! What you witnessed was a near breakthrough. The space keeping dimension nearly torn by the joint of one Hatsume Reiji and Hatsume Mei. In what will be the...the last collaborative effort. One piece, one key is all that stand in the way of us and the answer to all, only one key. I hope you stay tuned. Stranger, fore-" she paused. Taking off a blue crystal shard of the her necklace glowed ominously. However, her smile was brighter, somewhat mad if you will. Her gaze locked into the creak that was left in space so small it was almost imperceptible and thanks to her quirk she saw pass it. And there an eye; imprisoned. Gaze now more intrigued and amused than ever; to her however it was merely another witness to her genius.
"Watch as I reach the beyond" she said. Making the impossible possible, as much she didn't like it that was a Hatsume's job. And no one, not even them could take away.
