It's been a few months as everyone is busy with their own lives, ---- walks the halls of UA as she looks up files sent to her by multiple sources. There has not been new information at all and she is worried about the radio silence her friends Skeptic, Toga and Twice. Touya is also on a mission and he has only been able to speak to her in small but quick conversations. It sucks but she knows she isn't the only one who is busy, she has an idea however and remembers a conversation they had a month ago after a romantic night together.
' You've never celebrated Christmas?' ---- asks him.
' Heh nah.... with my broken ass family I didn't have many happy memories. What about you?' Touya asks.
' A little, once though.... it was my caretaker with a few kids, she got in trouble when they found out but she got a small tree and made us treats.... it was nice for what it was.' ---- tells him.
' Sounds nice.' Touya hums as his arms wrap around her.
---- smiles to herself and heads to Detnerat where she knows Redestro is in currently. She is brought to his office and he smiles at her presence, standing he walks over and greets her.
" Ah ---- my girl, what can I do for you today?" Redestro asks.
" Well sir, what day is Dabi coming back from his mission?" ---- asks him.
" 6 days from now, why what do you need?" Redestro asks.
" Uh, do you think you can put me on an assignment until after New Years which will have UA release me so I can enjoy the holiday's with Dabi?" ---- asks him.
Redestro seems surprised by this at first but just smiles and chuckles, he goes over to his desk and rights a note down. Going to the phone he picks it up and makes a call.
" Hello Mr. Aizawa, it's Mr. Yotsubashi of Detnerat.... yes how are you?.... That is great to hear.... I have a favor and I'm very sorry to do this but I need ---- until January 10th.... yes sir.... excellent I will send the paperwork now.... alright take care.... bye bye." Redestro makes the call.
He writes up some papers and signs off on them, grabbing them he faxes them over to UA where they are approved.
" Enjoy your vacation ----." Redestro smiles.
" Thank you so much!" ---- bows and smiles.
---- rushes out and heads to the shopping district, she goes and gets lights and Christmas themed things for Touya's house. She heads to his house and opens the place up, placing her bags down she locks the place up and heads out to get a tree, some ornaments and a tree topper. Heading back to his house she gets to work decorating the outside and in, ---- puts up the tree and decorates it.
Meanwhile Touya is picking up Toga, Twice and Skeptic, their work is done and they head to a safe house until they get the word to come back. Heading inside the safehouse Toga turns back to normal and heads to the kitchen to make some food. Touya is browsing his gallery looking at the pictures of ---- and himself. He walks over to the trio and sits down with them, they take their drives out and put them in the center computer.
" Let's take a look at what you got shall we." Touya hums.
Opening the files he looks across the board and his expression changes, his eyes narrow.
" These files, they are all accurate yes?" Touya asks.
" Afraid so, we couldn't believe it either but hearing the stories of the UN, Commission and the militaries of the world I'm not surprised." Skeptic nods.
Touya leans back as he juggles a flame around his fingers, anger spikes every part of his body as he reads through the files. He knows Hawks definitely knows what's going on, a wave of disgust and hatred wash over him.
" Give me a moment I need to make a call." Touya stands.
He walks away to another room and pulls out his phone, dialing up Keigo he puts his ear to the phone and waits.
" Hey buddy what's up?" Hawks answers.
" What do you know about Project Pantheon? Don't you fucking dare lie to me either." Touya snaps.
" Hey I can't head out for Soba now sorry I can come out later though!" Hawks speaks in a jubilant voice.
" The Commission, they are in the same room aren't they?" Touya asks.
" Heh you know it, hey let me finish up here and I'll take you to the best Ramen house after this my treat!" Hawks uses code to speak.
" Have Kurogiri warp you to our location, hurry up." Touya sighs.
" Ok see you soon buddy." Hawks replies and hangs up.
Touya sits in silence for a while, time passes by and he hears Kurogiri, walking to the main room they all stand and see Hawks with a serious expression on his face as he enters. The gate closes as the 5 all stand in silence for a moment.
" Project Pantheon, its not good I can tell you that much." Hawks tells them.
" We have the files, tell us what you know." Toga asks.
" Shit.... where do I even start?...." Hawks sighs.
The day for Touya and the others comes around and they finally get back to Detnerat. Touya waves off everyone and puts his concealing clothing on, he heads to his house in the nicer part of town. It is late and dark outside, no one is out in the snow as it slowly falls to the ground below. Every step he takes crunches snow beneath his boots as his hot breath creates a trail of steam behind him. Touya reaches his house and sees it is now covered in Christmas lights, he is extremely confused and knows it cant be ---- because Redestro told him she was on an assignment. He cautiously walks to his door and finds it unlocked, opening it up carefully he looks and sees his house has been decorated. Hearing movement in the kitchen he closes the door and walks to the kitchen to see ----, she is pulling a beef roast out from the oven as she goes over and seems to stir a liquid in a chilled drink dispenser. Her ears perk up and she turns around to see Touya, a huge smile travels across her face as she giggles and runs over to him.
" Welcome home babe!" ---- laughs as she flies into his arms.
" Redestro said you were gone for a few weeks how are you here?" Touya asks in shock.
" I put in for an assignment so no one would question where I was, I planned this so we could spend Christmas and New Years together alone just the 2 of us." ---- giggles.
" Fuck babe, this is the best, you didn't have to do all this." Touya smiles.
" It's our first real Christmas, I wanted to spend it with you." ---- blushes as she looks up at him.
" It will be the best, let me get out of these clothes and I'll join you for dinner, need any help?" Touya asks.
" No I'm ok get comfortable I have a spiced holiday sweet rum I stirred up too!" ---- shakes her head.
" Sounds great, I'll be right back Dollface." Touya nods and heads to his room.
Walking to his room Touya feels excitement he has never felt in his life. He needs to head to the mall and high end district with ---- tomorrow and get gifts. He removes his heavy clothing and walks out in his white tank top and pants, ---- already has the table set and the drinks out. Walking up behind ---- he hugs her body to his, soft kisses are peppered across her cheek as he nuzzles her.
" This is perfect babe." Touya whispers to her.
" Im glad you like it here sit down and dig in." ---- smiles.
Touya sits next to her and the pair grab piece of the cut roast with spiced potatos, carrots and onions. Touya tries it and is immediately blown away by how it tastes.
" Fuck this tastes amazing." Touya hums.
" I wanted it perfect for when you came back, oh yah how was your mission?" ---- asks.
He pauses for just a moment, contemplating if he can tell her or not, he looks up at her and swallows his bite.
" Learned some new things, I'll tell you later cause its still considered sensitive information but, it went well." Touya tells her.
" That's good to hear, it's been quiet with me to be honest. It's nice though cause I was able to do all this for you." ---- smiles.
" It looks amazing, tomorrow we will go shopping." Touya smiles back.
" I can't wait!" ---- giggles.
Touya feels his heart grow heavy, he wants to tell her so bad but is waiting for Redestro's confirmation. One thing still reads out in his head that Hawks told them.
' Shit.... where do I even start?....' Hawks sighs.
' The code names, what do they mean?' Touya asks.
' 3 brothers of Olympus, 3 Kings.... 3 sisters, the 3 princesses of the story ---- and her sisters were told as children, all 3 are copies of the 3 brothers.... Zues, Hades and Posidon.' Hawks tells them.
" Touya?" ---- calls out to him.
" Hm? Sorry I was thinking about what I should get for you." Touya snaps out of it.
" Oh its ok, you seemed distressed for a moment there." ---- smiles in a reassuring way.
" Yah I'm ok I promise." Touya nods.
" Man we devoured this meal, go turn on the TV and relax on the couch in the living room. Ill bring the drink mix in and we can cuddle up on the couch." ---- smiles.
" Heh, watch some shitty TV, I'll start a fire and keep my sweet baby warm." Touya smirks.
" Sounds amazing, go rest babe I'll be right there." ---- nods.
Touya heads to the living room and turns on his large flat screen, he grabs pillows and a large blanket and sets up on the large couch. Walking over he uses his quirk to start a fire in the fireplace, he looks over and sees ---- had finished cleaning up. She yawns cutely and looks over to see Touya on the couch with his feet up on the lounger. Walking over she slides in and snuggles up to him, Touya wraps them up in the blanket as he goes through the different channels.
" Fuck there really isn't anything to watch." Touya groans.
" Just stop on this true crime channel, I just want to rest with you." ---- yawns.
" You seem tired more and more, you ok babe?" Touya asks.
" Yah just didn't sleep well, to be honest I'm not sure why." ---- shrugs.
" Is it your flashs you keep seeing?" Touya asks.
" I.... I think but.... Im not sure either. I feel like Im missing things, things very important to me but.... the memories aren't there or.... they are blocked somehow.... I'm sorry it sounds stupid babe." ---- sighs.
" No babe it's not your fault, don't stress about your memories you will remember eventually. It will take some time." Touya reassures.
" It's ok though, because when I'm with you that dull pain at the base of my brain stem.... the constant pain that pod puts me through.... it disappears and I dont feel it anymore." ---- smiles.
" Where is that damn thing? Don't you want to get rid of it?" Touya asks her.
" Its along my spine in my neck, right here." ---- guides Touya's hand to it.
Touya feels around until he feels the small pod, an odd anger and sadness flood him as he feels it.
A red screen flashes over the TV and this gets both of their attention, they look and see Hero's rescuing civilians and see a person in a full body concealing outfit using electricity from a quirk to rain down upon everyone. Touya's phone goes off and sees its Hawks, he answers it quickly.
" We need Hydra's help, I know she put in for time off but this is dire. Nothing, no.... no one can beat whoever is causing all this chaos." Keigo's voice is desperate.
" Fine.... I'll tell her, where are the others?" Touya asks.
" Dynamight, Red Riot, Shoto and Deku are all down here with the Pro's both holding off the attacker and saving people." Keigo tells him.
" Alright, I'll have Kurogiri transport us secretly." Touya nods.
" Thanks Dabi." Keigo sighs in relief.
" I need to go.... just this once." ---- looks at Touya with concern.
" That was Hawks askin for ya, get dressed I'll call Kugogiri." Touya nods.
---- nods back and runs to his room, inside she puts on her outfit and soon Touya joins her inside. He slips on his concealing clothing and looks at ---- who is ready. They hear Kurogiri in the living room as they head out, he has a portal open. The pair walk through and they see Hawks on a roof, ---- walks over and looks down at the scene. They see a massive bolt of lightning shoot up into the sky as the Hero's fend off the threat.
" No matter what we do we cant stop them, they are on a complete rampage." Hawks tells ----.
" Get me down there quick then get to safety." ---- tells him.
" Be careful Hydra." Touya tells her in an official manner.
" I will don't worry." ---- nods.
Hawks grabs a hold of ---- and swoops down to her friends and the Pro's, they look in shock to see her there.
" We thought you were on a mission!" Kirishima responds to her presence.
" Hawks came and got me, I can use my bones to ground myself to the earth. Get victims and civilians out!" ---- yells to them.
Preparing her bones and body for the electricity ---- bolts after the target and using her strength she takes them by surprise. ---- easily smashes the target into a wall where it is silent for a moment.
" Hell yah Hydra got em!" Kaminari grins.
---- hears a growl followed by the target leaping out onto ---- and using their electricity to discharge a massive attack. ---- feels the pain but quickly it dulls as she digs her bones into the earth below. Grabbing the target she throws them off of her and leaps at them, ---- grabs at their helmet which prompts them to discharge a huge bolt from their chest to immediately strike ---- in her chest. ---- is thrown back with great force into a building which collapses around her from the impact.
" Shit Hydra!" A bunch of the Hero's yell as they run to help her.
Bakugo, Shoto and the others pull away the rubble and see ---- emerge, in her hands is a shattered piece of the targets helmet. They look over and see the target remove their helmet and look over at ----, the girls eyes are bewildered as ---- removes her helmet and the pair stare at eachother.
" W-Who in the fuck are you?!" The young woman yells.
" I'm Hydra, who in the hell are you?! You're killing people!" ---- yells.
" I am Fate, stay out of my way...." She glares at her.
Fate looks at ---- intensely, her eyes are bright golden yellow and her hair is ice white. She launches at ---- to which she is quick to grab her using the snow everywhere to her advantage. She melts it and holds Fate in a bubble of water which she quickly freezes.
" Do you think that got her?" Hawks asks.
---- is silent, she can feel Fate still moving around in the ice, ---- tries to hold its form together but intense lightning shoots up from the top. The ice explodes outwards and causes nearby damage, Fate drops down and with lightning speed charges at ----. In a swift kick Fate kicks ----, she braces and grabs Fate's leg and using her strength she throws Fate into a construction yard nearby.
" You will not hurt anyone!" ---- yells at Fate.
" You will be the first to fall Hydra." Fate glares at ----.
Fate holds her arms out and gathers electricity, ---- does the same with her water as she destabilizes the molecules.
" EVERYONE GET DOWN!" Endeavor yells.
Everyone takes cover as the pair use their quirks against eachother, the water rushes after Fate as the lightning travels towards her. The quirks smash into eachother with a deafening explosion, the water column travels straight up with the lightning following it. ---- is tired but she forces the column of water down towards Fate, with much effort ---- slams the water down onto her. Her electricity goes everywhere and hits ---- in the back of the neck as she tries to take cover. The lightning surges through her body but she quickly stops it by grounding her body through the ground. ---- head is fuzzy but she looks over and sees Fate face down in the ground, the Hero's approach and see Fate is knocked out.
" Is she?...." Midoriya asks.
" No.... she is still alive.... FUCK! My neck hurts so bad right now...." ---- curses and holds the spot in question.
" Are you ok?!" Kirishima asks.
" Yah I'm fine...." ---- sighs out.
An odd portal opens, out steps Kai and he looks around at everyone, they glare at him as he acts friendly.
" Im terribly sorry for all this, my asset got loose, shit.... is she dead? Kinda cold to kill your own blood isn't it?" Kai jabs at ---- as he picks her up.
" W-What?.... My own blood?...." ---- goes wide eyed.
" Huh she is still breathing thats good, well see you all later." Kai waves them off and starts to leave.
" No! Stop is that my sister?!" ---- screams as she charges Kai.
Kai walks through the portal and leaves, tears stream down ---- face as she runs to the portal. As she approaches it disappears in front of her, ---- stops and looks around desperately. Electricity shoots through her body, grabbing the back of her neck she falls to her knees. Gunshots ring out in her mind, her pupils fully dilate and her breathing becomes heavy. Hawks feathers fluff up in distress as he feels the danger in the air, he puts his wings up and blocks everyone.
" No.... my.... my sister.... was that my.... my...." ---- cries.
" ----...." Shoto calls out calmly.
" Run...." ---- calmly speaks.
" Everyone.... back away now...." Hawks warns.
" But ----! We can't abandon our friend!" Kirishima yells at Hawks.
" RUN NOW!" ---- cries out loud.
" We can't leave you you're family!" Midoriya yells back.
" I killed my family.... it's my fault...." ---- whimpers.
---- stands and starts to run away, the city turns and folds around her in a nightmarish tunnel as she hears the sounds of crying and gunfire. Gunships fly over and rain down hell on the terrorists that just tried to kill her team and the village she is trying to protect. ---- smells the gunpowder filling her lungs, the poison that fills her veins, her body is on fire as she flees the city as to not harm anyone. Running through a park she drives through the snow with ease until she hears a familiar sound. Arms envelope her body as they fall to the snow, the touch is familiar.... warm.... caring.
" I got you baby.... I'm right here." Touya calmly speaks in her ear.
" My sister.... my sister where is she?...." ---- cries.
" I don't know right now.... we will find her I promise." Touya kisses her temple and warms her body.
A portal opens again and this time its Redestro, he sees ---- broken form curled up against Touya's body. He sighs and knows she needs to know now, he looks over towards Touya who has a serious look in his eyes. Coming from the portal Hawks looks down and sees Touya picking ---- up from the ground.
" It's time.... we cannot let you be in pain anymore." Redestro sighs as he strokes ---- head.
" Before that.... we need to figure out whats going on with the pod in her neck. I think Fate's electricity caused it to short out." Touya tells him.
" Let's get her to the doctors of Detnerat now, she seems to have passed out thanks to your intervention Dabi." Hawks nods.
The trio walk through the portal back to Detnerat to the medical research wing, there the doctors prepare scans and are given the sleeping ----. They put her under so she doesn't wake up for now, Touya watches as they carefully scan the back of her neck and get readings on the device. Hawks and Redestro approach and watch closely as well, the head doctor walks over to the trio with a serious look.
" The control pod in her neck is malfunctioning, in order for it to stop shocking her and causing constant damage we need to remove it." The doctor tells them.
" Removing that pod will put us in a delicate situation, the military wants her intact.... however I have no intentions in returning her.... remove it and we will have her keep the pod on her. We will not arouse the suspicions of the UN or the military." Redestro comments.
" Of course sir, the procedure will be quick." The doctor nods.
The doctor is quick to start with the nurses to remove the pod, the trio watch closely and watch.
" You do know that once that pod is removed, the limiter in that pod will no longer keep her contained. She will be at full power." Hawks tells him.
" Yes I know, but I need to get her back with Dabi as soon as this is over, she needs to recover both mentally and emotionally." Redestro nods.
" Huh? Dabi isn't the most cuddly person for rehabilitation." Hawks looks over confused.
" We have more in common then you realize you bird brain pain in my ass...." Touya growls.
" Believe it or not they work well together, this conversation does not leave this circle Keigo.... but I know Dabi and ---- are in a relationship with eachother. I do not mind this though, I love that the pair are together." Redestro mentions.
' Heh.... sly bastard. I guess it couldn't be hidden forever." Touya thinks to himself.
" That explains a lot, but I'm glad you both are happy." Hawks smiles.
" Something is wrong." Touya mentions.
Looking over they see ---- moving, they have already removed the pod but she is waking up.
" Impossible! She is put under with the most powerful sedatives!" The doctor looks in horror.
---- takes a deep breath in and opens her eyes, standing she collapses but soon keeps moving. Looking around she feels her body surge with energy, ---- stands but soon collapses back onto the table. The trio look and see she is passed out again and take a sigh of relief.
" Does anyone mind telling me what the hell just happened?" Redestro asks.
" We have been monitoring her quirks this whole time, sir you need to see this!" Another doctor tells him.
The doctor brings over a datapad to Redestro and the others, they look at the massive power spikes the second the pod was removed.
" The moment the pod was removed, her cell manipulation started to combat the sedatives in her body. She became immune to them instantly once her body knew how to counter the drugs. Her power is still sitting high which means she is passed out because her body is trying to make sense of all this power flooding into her all at once. Her cells have been dormant for a very long time and her power.... it will be unrivaled.... she truly can be the apocalypse if she is returned to the UN and they find out her limiter is out." The doctor comments.
Redestro is silent as his eyes scan the readings, even if he doesn't look like it to the trained eye, everyone can see he is for once nervous. She truly is a weapon of warfare, a true weapon of mass destruction.
" So Dabi.... when do you want to tell her?" Redestro asks.
" Give her a day.... I promised to take her shopping tomorrow and its late. She needs to rest and I will take her back to my home. When its time I will show her all the documents.... it is time she knew about her other sister too." Touya sighs.
" What if she wants to know when she wakes up?" Hawks asks.
" I know her well, she will be quiet about it and act like she normally does, she will come to me when its time. We don't pressure eachother to tell the other secrets or things we aren't comfortable with.... she is the only person besides me who knows who I really am and that ain't changin.... she will come to me when she is ready and that's final." Touya declares.
" Well its settled then, I will speak more about this with Shigaraki and we will have Kurogiri transport you two back home." Redestro nods in approval.
" Step aside now...." Touya's voice intensifies as he approaches the medical staff.
" Y-Yes sir...." They nod and look away as they part.
Touya picks ---- up and heads over to Kurogiri who makes a portal back to his house. He heads in and they are in his bedroom, the teleport portal disappears which lets Touya lay ---- down and get her out of her costume. He lays her under the sheets of his bed, he straightens up when he hears soft footsteps in his living room. His eyes narrow at that pests presence but he knows full well he is a pest for important reasons. Walking out he sees Keigo looking around at his house with the wonder of a child.
" Nice place, guessing this is ---- doing?" Keigo asks.
" Yah, we have never had a proper Christmas in our lives so she decided this year we were going to spend our first one together." Touya nods.
" It's really nice, I'm truly happy for you both." Keigo looks over and smiles.
" So what do you want?" Touya is sharp about his question.
" Here, its about her other sister." Keigo hands him a drive.
" Styx? The one that the Commission has?" Touya asks.
" Yep, its her location. No one besides a few people know, I'm not even suppose to know. I have only seen pictures of her but, this is the facility." Keigo tells him.
" How do I know this isn't a trap?" Touya asks sharply.
" I know it looks it but it's not.... I work for them yes but.... I can't get behind the future they want. To suppress every quirk user and quirkless person on this planet.... to make the world bend knee to the 3 sisters and their brood of soldiers.... soldiers meant to kill those who resist what the UN want for an NWO.... a New World Order. Save them and keep them from being used this way." Keigo gives Touya a stern look.
Touya is silent but simply nods, Keigo walks to the front door but stops and looks back at his friend.
" Make sure you protect ----, that girl loves you more then I have seen a person love someone. The trust in her heart, find her sisters...." Keigo tells him.
" No harm will come to what I love.... and you know damn well that once I have something, you won't be able to pry it from my cold dead hands." Touya chuckles.
" Yah.... you are pretty stubborn but, Im guessing that's what ---- loves about you. Even though you are a brooding loner at the best, but having ----. Shit.... from the things I hear daily lots of men and women in Japan wanna have a shot with her." Keigo smirks.
" Not a chance bitch." Touya laughs.
" Welp, I need to head back to Endeavor, see ya around man." Keigo waves.
Keigo leaves and Touya locks his doors up, he heads back to his bed. He looks at her peaceful face as she sleeps. He smiles to himself knowing she is at least sleeping peacefully at the moment. Stripping down Touya removes his clothing and slips into bed with her, his arms carefully encapsulating his love as she breathes softly. As soon as he hugs her she wraps her arms around where his are sitting, he places a soft kiss against her neck as he looks over at the burnt out pod on the dresser nearby.
" You're finally free baby.... you're finally free." Touya chuckles softly.
Touya listens to the howl of the snowy wind outside, he counts himself lucky to have ---- with him on this cold winter night to warm his bed with him. He nuzzles his nose into her neck and lets sleep take his senses.
