CHAPTER START---
"No pat down?" Hawks asks as he steps out of the Warp Gate, entering a well lit hallway that gave the impression of a mansion.
"Don't need it," Dabi says. "Keep those feathers to yourself and follow me."
Walking behind Dabi he looks around curiously, wiping the blood from his face with his sleeve, and he does contemplate sending a few feathers to get a proper look of this building.
But ultimately, he plays along.
"Awe, and here I thought you didn't trust me."
"Tch, we don't need to take your phone, the Radio Wave Nomu controls all broadcasts in this area, including blocking any trackers, microphones, GPS in your phone."
"Sounds useful, can I have one?"
Dabi stops walking and looks back at him, annoyed at the smiling Pro Hero, then continues walking.
Eventually they make it to the end of a hallway and Dabi pushes open the double doors.
"Wooowwwwwww!" Hawks gawks about as he hovers through the room.
A massive formal dining room overlooking the ocean.
He entirely ignores all the villains sitting around having lunch.
Around the massive table was Shigaraki, at the head.
Spinner to his right and Twice to his left. But beside Twice was Toga, in a wheelchair, which Hawks made special note of.
Across from her was Magni, and a seat prepared for Hawks.
On the table was a monitor that remained blank, but right now everyone was glaring at Hawks who hovered above them.
"Take your seat so we can get started," Shigaraki says in a annoyed tone.
"Sure thing boss," Hawks says as he sits beside Magni, who continues to glare at him.
"Kurogiri, lets begin," Shigaraki says.
Immediately a Warp Gate appears behind him, and another appears above his right shoulder.
Kurogiri stands behind him as the larger Warp Gate closes but above his right shoulder a small Nomu, reminiscent of a frog drops onto his shoulder.
It has dozens of large eyes all across its body and back, each of which are tracking the people in the room.
"Cute," Toga says.
"Gross!" Magni covers her mouth in disgust.
"This is Shinji," Shigaraki says as he pats the Nomu, who nuzzles up to him. "In light of recent revelations, he'll always be with me from now on."
"Kurogiri?" Shigaraki asks.
"It can be arranged, within a matter of weeks," Kurogiri says. "And what bait might entice Horizon?"
"Pantu has us collecting info on two people," Hawks points at Kurogiri. "You, and twice. Everyone else she just knows we can get whenever you pop up."
"Well that's insulting," Dabi says.
"It makes sense," Shigaraki says. "They're the backbone of our operation."
"This places us in great danger," Kurogiri says. "Judging by Horizon's track record he likely won't fall for the same Double trick again, the bait will have to be...live."
"Then you will be our bait, we'll collect some samples and have Twice use his Quirk to replicate yours."
"Aren't you getting a bit cocky there brat," A mechanical voice comes from Shinji.
"It can talk?" Hawks asks.
"Its not the Nomu you moron," the Nomu opens its mouth so they can all hear. "I'm speaking through it, something I didn't think was necessary until this brat decided to put one of my most prized Nomu in danger."
"Kurogiri will be fine, if your weapon actually works."
"You're doubting my work! How dare you! Don't forget that I'm not one of your loser lackeys, I'm a dear friend of your master, the true demon lord. You only get to use OUR Nomu soldiers because for some reason he thinks you're worth more than gum under my shoe! And I can take them back whenever I want."
"Are you saying you're so scared that your newest masterpiece can't handle Horizon you aren't willing to use Kurogiri as bait."
"Mmm, I'll consider it," Shinji's mouth closes as Shigaraki plays on his mysterious benefactor's ego.
"That guy is also on Pantu's list by the way," Hawks says. "I'm suppose to be collecting data on whoever is making the Nomu for you."
"Well you'll need to get in line, or question All For One," Shigaraki says. "Even I don't know who he is, he says I haven't earned that honor yet."
"Seems like we're all working with some annoying people," Hawks relaxes a bit. "So, what info do you want me to feed Pantu about you guys, after we sort that out we can deal with what to do about Horizon."
"Hmm, well you can tell her we'll be expanding out reach and being more aggressive in controlling contraband movement in Japan. I already have all the major criminal groups under me, its time we put them to work and stress out the public."
"You want me telling her all of that?"
"We'll be operating too loudly to hide it, the new year has begun, now get to stress out the public and show them they can't rely on Pro Heroes to solve everything, that they have to fight for themselves. And slowly we'll erode the Quirk Regulations of this nation."
"Alright, I'll tell her I uncovered that, oh," Hawks snaps his finger. "Someone hacked into the Hero Public Safety Commission to get into Horizon's files, was that you guys?"
"No, the last thing we want is a trail leading back to us, plus that what you're here for."
"Did they get anything good?" Spinner asks.
"They weren't looking for personal files, Pantu is still looking into it."
"Hmm, getting that person on our side could be useful, keep your ears open for anything about that."
"Got it," Hawks says. "Right now we're keeping that incident away from Horizon, because then he'll go on a warpath to silence loose ends."
"I'd imagine so, now, lets discuss the breadcrumb trail we need to setup to trap him..."
