CHAPTER START---
Standing atop a 3 story building, Horizon was overseeing the villains being arrested, led into armored trucks for transport to the various prisons.
Mostly D-List losers not even worth his time. But the sheer numbers, it begged the question of how many camps just like these were out there.
A focal point for all the recruits to be cleared before being assigned a role within the League of Villains.
'Focus Law, get your shit together...' he berates himself, shaking his head, trying to push the pain away.
After the battle, he helped with finding the few villains that hid from Endeavor's team. Then he finally got to drop the building he'd been holding afloat.
The show of power was astonishing to everyone, and that includes the pictures and video he uploaded from the beginning of this raid.
But the cost, he'd need to rest for a few hours for this headache to go away.
'If anyone that actually needs me to put my back into a fight was here, that could have gone bad for me. Splitting my focus like that, painful, and much more limiting than ever before. Luckily these people are all trash...'
But this is part of being a hero, putting on a façade of strength and bravery, 'smile even when you're scared, so the people you're saving won't be afraid when you arrive', or whatever All Might would say in Hero Class.
Looking directly below, he sees Mr. Compress -his slightly cooked self being loaded into the back of an extra secure armored truck, laid vertically in a metal bed with all his limbs restrained.
Already in the truck are Spinner and Toga, in the same type of contraption.
FWOOM!
Horizon doesn't even look away from the villains as a wave of mild heat accompanies the sound of flames landing beside him on the roof.
"Are we done here?" Horizon asks.
"Just about, Burnin is clearing out some rubble for the Safety Commission to send in their people," Endeavor looks around at the battlefield.
A few collapsed buildings and some torn-up streets.
"Hero Insurance should cover it, since most of this is owned by villains anyway, the banks can just seize it," Horizon says.
"Mhm," Endeavor grunts, then walks forward to stand beside Horizon, looking out at the villains being loaded up with his hands crossed over his chest.
While Horizon was idly scrolling through his phone.
After around a minute of deafening silence, Horizon speaks up, "just say what you have to say already."
"What happened when you went inside the penthouse?"
"I captured the villains."
"Mhm, I know the plan, I deal with the masses and you deal with the commanders. But you're powerful enough that you could have easily subdued them."
"I did."
"By causing permanent damage to some of them, all of them. The girl will be a vegetable for the rest of her life, Spinner will have permanent nerve damage in his legs. And Compress had his left arm split in two, right down the middle," Endeavor's flame rise for a moment before settling.
"You know how those kinds of fights can get, 'cornered dogs are dangerous,' or something like that. Villains are exactly the same."
"And without a Full Pro Hero License I actually can't be on that mission," Horizon says.
"Neither can Nejire, so Endeavor, can she spend tonight at your agency? I assume that skyscraper of yours has an extra room or two."
Both Endeavor and Horizon groan.
"It's fine," Endeavor says. "But who is your support for this escort mission."
"Hawks," Horizon answers for her.
"How'd you know that?"
"I can sense him, a few miles east of here."
"Huh, how does that work?" Ryukyu asks. "Like, do you just sense living things?"
"No, I sense everything."
"Everything?" She gives him an uneasy look.
"If I want to, yes, I can do that."
"Well, luckily for all the ladies you're a Hero. A pervert with that Quirk would have been a nightmare."
"I have better things to do than skirt-chasing, you don't have to worry about me becoming another Hodori."
"Thank the heavens," Ryukyu gives a relieved look. "The world doesn't need another one of those."
After a few more minutes of chatting, Hawks finally arrives. And the friendly casual conversation immediately becomes tense.
"Hawks," Horizon growls out, losing his relaxed façade for just a moment.
"Horizon, how've you been, it's been a while," Hawks greets him in a friendly manner, as if they were an old friend. As Hawks hovers before the others, he gives Horizon a friendly wave.
"Perfect as always."
"Maannnn, if I knew you were such a monster I would have made a better first impression, no hard feelings right?" Hawks offers his hand for Horizon to shake, giving him a friendly smile.
"Tch, I'll keep things professional, but we aren't friends."
"Awe," Hawks slumps forward. "But we could be."
"Or you could go fuck yourself."
"Horizon!" Ryukyu taps his shoulder. "Show some respect."
"When its earned, I'm going back to Tokyo..." Horizon disappears from the roof, swapped with a piece of brick.
"So, bad blood?" Endeavor asks, and Hawks just shrugs.
"Looks like the villains are all packed up, ready to get these guys to Tartarus?" Hawks asks Ryukyu.
"Gladly, until next time Endeavor, thanks for looking out for my Nejire-Chan."
"You trained her well."
"See ya Enji!" Hawks says as he begins hovering away, and Endeavor just gives an annoyed grunt.
