Chapter Text

His paws echoed throughout the wet alley as the rain poured down onto his dark green coat. The pitch black sky was the only thing making these damn twolegs slightly slower in their persistent chase. Skidding around a corner and digging his claws into the ground pulling himself forward and around the tight corner smacking, his side into a brick wall and regaining his balance as he darted back down the cluttered alleys.Jumping over a fallen trashcan as he scurried around another broken pallet hearing the familiar sound of someone crashing into a trashcan. 

There on my tail still these damn twolegs don't know when to give up do they? How are they even catching up? Am I getting slower or are they faster… Am I losing my mind? This train of thought was abruptly cut off at the sight of another turn.

Eventually the inevitable happened. He had been turning another sharp corner when his left paw slipped out from under him and he collapsed, hitting his chin against the ground with a sickling smack. Letting out a quiet whimper he tried to regain footing causing him to stumble as another one of his paws gave out from under him making an audible crack on the hard ground.

no 

No  

NO 

Not now, 

Why right here. Out in the open! 

The pounding feet stopped suddenly and were replaced with uncontrollable yelling. When he tried to stand again he was met with the ground, his snout becoming well to acquainted with it. Causing the same metallic taste to fill his mouth, red liquid dripping from his now busted lip. Looking down the alley he was met with the same yellow eyes that may haunt him.

Damn fucking twolegs, why do they want me so badly can’t they just get another god damn cat... I wasn't even stealing shit, I was just minding my own business and living my best street cat life. Why even are there so many twolegs just everywhere and why are they so fucking tall . The Fuckers approached… Unsheathing his claws and swiping out at the stalking predators.

“Finally we got you, damn cat!” a female voice rang out from behind him with those toxic yellow eyes like a banana . Another twoleg was next to the other looking worse for wear panting loudly. 

“What do we do with it now ‘boss’?” The red eyed one mocked the other while looking down at his poised body that was ready to pounce. Giving them a low growl-hiss, baring his teeth, and raising his haunches making sure his claws were on full display, an obvious warning sign to stay the fuck back. 

“Don’t be an idiot Sawaya , we’re taking it back to the ‘laboratory’ , why else would we chase it down?!” Yellow mocked the word laboratory and smacked red right in the back of the head causing it to stumble forward.

“Well Im sorry your such a-”

“Shut up and get the net! I want to get out of this damp alley before some dumbass Pro Hero comes.” She snapped, cutting the other off, turning her piercing eyes back to him pinning him in his place. 

He could do nothing as the twolegs surrounded him on both sides, his eyes widened as he tried to back away, hitting his back against the wall whilst fluffing up. 

“Look, it's scared” The large red eyed one with the cursed net did a harsh laugh that sounded slightly forced showing off its sharper canine teeth. This made his fur bristle, deciding his curse might be a better route. Closing his eyes, he reached deep into his core, concentrating on slowly letting down the walls he had built to help control it.  

It started with a prickling sensation in his paws, then it rose to his legs, face and then the rest of his body. Everything sound related seemed to become muffled, but slowly those sounds faded back just as quickly as they vanished. The arguing twolegs seeming to abruptly stop, leaving him in a sea of darkness. He was trying his best to keep his eyes closed but it was hard when all he could hear were the predators.

 He felt...So vulnerable like this. 

The feeling of the net on him was the breaking point.

 Fuck it, it’s now or die.

He snapped his eyes open, that drifted down to meet yellow ones being only slightly taller than it. This told him that the transformation was completed, he glanced back to confirm that his wings had successfully appeared.

Uncoiling his large green wings,revealed his sharp talons and put them on full display next he bared his teeth to show the new row of sharpened teeth, making a piercing screech echo out as he did so.

“Fucking hell! Sawaya,did you know it could do this?!” Red shook its head just as shocked. Without any warning he lunged for the nearest twoleg which was red eyes. 

  He lashed his claws at the chest of the monster that pulled a long metal sharp thing to block his claws from ripping out its guts. Then red proceeded to loosen their grip on the pointy thing making it clatter to the ground. Flapping his wings created a strong gust of wind lifting himself into the air making both his attackers stumble . .

The she-twoleg grabbed something from there side which made a crackling sound. While the tom-twoleg reached for the net which was the closer object. Red grabbed it and lunged for the overgrown cat beast with a war cry. Like the idiot he was. Out of the corner of his eye he saw yellow smacked their face and shook their head,sighing in exasperation. 

Taking this chance he swooped down while its arms were up attempting and failing to hit him with the insufferable net. Branding his claws forward to gouge out its right eye getting inside of the socket and with a sickening squelch the eye popped. Cause a guttural scream to echo out as the other monster’s stick crackled hitting his side forcing him to retreat.

It fell back like fresh kill, hitting the ground with a loud thud that echoed against the walls of the alley. 

He looked over at the yellow eyed one…Which was at least a clearing down the alley…how did the she-twoleg get over there. The stick whipped out lengthening and extending crackling like a snake ready to pounce.

He gave a beast-like sound close to a dying cat that was water logged as the thing came in contact with his scarred fur. 

Taking flight he jumped to the side wall leaving large gashes and trying to descend on his attacker as the twoleg whipped out the snake again.

Unhinging his jaw he clamped down on the snake away from its two noticeable teeth, pulling her towards him. Leaning back and kicking at her chest knocking the wind out of her while the snake recoils into itself leaving him on the ground and her in the air.

“Sawaya get up and help, yo–” the monster landed hard onto its side from the attack allowing him to stand. 

The cat beast spun his head over to where the injured red still lay, where it wheezed out its final breath before passing out. 

He let out a huff, quickly limping past the red eyed one while the she-twoleg groaned from behind. The thought to be passed out monster lurched forward once he was close enough, opening his pathetically small jaws and sinking their fangs into his hind leg. Kicking back at the attacker who smirks, he runs and going into a fly.

After he had made it some way away from the damn monsters his muscles seized up causing him to fall right out of the sky almost into the trail of one of the fast metal monsters. Hitting harshly into a twolegs nest.

What's happening to me?! His vision began to swim and then it all cut out. 

Chapter Text

Sluggishly he opened his eyes , grimacing at the feeling of crust in the corners. He couldn't remember exactly how he had gotten here, wherever here was anyway. When he finally opens his eyes all the way, he is met with gray walls and bars. He scrambled back squawking but was stopped by a resident on his ankles.   

Where the fuck am I. This doesn't feel right, where's the den and the group at that matter?!  His eyes zipped around the dark room landing on the cage bars that were way too close for comfort. Trying to move back made the distinct sound of metal scraping on metal. His tail and wings hit the back and side of the cage at the small movement. 

The space was very dark even for his enhanced vision but looking around showed what he could guess to be the twoleg version of a clans med den by the sickeningly clean scent that flooded the room. There were metal objects everywhere he looked, seeing one that looked like a den entrance and had some glowing firefly-like things on its side. Another Glance around revealed that those weren't the only firefly-like things. In one of the corners of the nest there was a box with a picture that looked to be him with his wings out and white shit inside his body. 

“So you're finally awake, 1120” a sickly sweet almost lulling voice echoed around the small space around his even smaller cage. 

He puffed up intending on letting out a hiss but instead a sharp squawk ripped out of him. This caused him to stumble back, hitting his back and wings against the bars. His hind legs kicked out as he landed on his ass. As this happened this damn right hind leg decided to light on fire with pain forcing a quiet whimper out. Making his eyes quickly shut after taking a deep breath he slowly opened his eyes to see the twoleg got closer. 

“Oooh did I spook you?” This tom-twoleg had short curly hair with orange eyes that had swirls inside the iris. It had a white second skin that opened in the front and the twoleg leaned back as the exit cracked open.

“Hey a boss umm so we um-” A hesitant voice pipes up from a now open exit to the prison den, but is cut off by the harsh voice of the orange man.

At closer inspection it was another twoleg with red eyes and blue second skin. It had a white leaf over half its face and it looked as if there was blood dripping from behind it.

“Just spit it out, Sawaya I don't have all day.” Orange hissed out, impatiently. 

“Well the transportation is here..but there are some heroes questioning what all the noise is about and about my eye, so we kinda can't do anything unless you come out and give a story.” Red eyes, well now eye, was definitely glaring at him.

“Do I have to do all the work myself?! You all are so unless.” Orange eyes settled on red eye giving a deadly glare. “And you” he points his glare at him. “Keep it down or else there will be consequences.” 

Honestly he would never admit it but he froze and didn't make a loud peep for days after…That.

They both left, so he did the only respectable thing and tried to escape this small ass cage. Looking at the bars he found something dangling off the side of it keeping it closed, hitting against it with his claws did nothing,Just made noise. even trying to hook his claws into it and attempting to rip it off just gave him talon pain. 

Losing his paws after standing on two caused him to tumble forward hitting his snout on the cold gray ground, he held back an annoyed hiss. Pulling his taloned and pawed feet under himself he scanned his surroundings from this new position. Finding not much new other than the light pouring in from the opened exit. looking around his cell he noticed it was completely empty other than chains that linked from his neck to the side of the cage. 

He tested the chain's strength by pulling at the chains. Finding that they were strong and well latched together but he still strolled over to inspect it just that little bit closer. 

Being so focused on finding out a way to break free made him completely miss the little can that rolled into the cage and right under his feathered coat. This also made another detail fly right over him, the noticeable pitter patter of twoleg paws approaching. 

The can gave a soft squeak and two round dots appeared on its body?? 1120 was so confused about what this thing was. He looked down in between his legs contorting his body to do so.It was a blueish thing and had purple eyes, with feathers on the sides of its face. Is that its face??  The thing smiled up at him well, what looks like a smile? With its hollow mouth. Then it settled down disappearing from sight but he could still feel it just sitting there…

BANG

The exit ripped open showing all 3 of the twolegs wait how did he know there was 3?

“Sawaya get the thing ready, Muramoto help me gather our stuff up.” with oranges instructions they all scrambled around the den like mice. 

Twolegs are so odd sometimes.

Things clatter and clang all over the place as red eyes approaches or I guess Sawaya, the tom-twoleg is still being fucking red eyes though. Looking at him through one eye and whispering out.

“I may dislike you for taking my Fucking eye but lets not make this more stressful for you and me” grabbing some black second skin from the ground he threw it onto his cell covering it in pitch darkness other then one spot that light creeped into.

Tilting his head 1120 watched as red eye fiddled with the skin through the hole he found. Then loud scraping was heard and the cage was dropped down and he was moved onto something that has the same legs as metal monsters.

He called out “Oh Guys did we patch the creature up all ready? Or is that for the normal facility?” 

“First call it 1120, Second I just made sure you fools didn't cause internal bleeding nothing else so what do you think?” Orange eyes spat out the last part with venom and was stuffing things into a floppy looking box.

“Dumbass does it look like this primitive set up can do shit” from the half of yellow eyes he could see the she-twoleg had their paws up. 

A shiver went down his spine as he counted to look at yellow eyes. Why does it feel like I've seen that twoleg before. 

“Well I don’t know what half of this shit is…So I just thought I would ask…” red eyes sounded ashamed and a bit petulant.

Loud clatting outside had all the twolegs working more desperately on what they were doing as red eyes started to push the thing he was on now. 

“Shit Shit SHIT SHIT, hurry the fuck up yall the hero’s must not taken the bait completely” Yellow eyes yelped loudly.

Red eye pushed his cage out the door and from what he could tell into what was a long tunnel. Moving at quite the rapid speed causing the cage to shake and rattle he curled in more on himself letting his wings tuck closer to his body with the creature between his legs.

Then there was another exit that opened up to a damp smelling alley with some white monster opened on the side from what he could tell. Red eyes pushed his cage into the monster which was basically a fucking box on those legs the more he looked red eyes used something that if he had to guess was the monsters guts to lock the cage from rattling around any more then it all ready did. 

This box was small even with him still in the cage, and it was completely empty from what 1120 could tell. The twolegs shouted at one another outside, it was muffled though so he couldn't make out what they were shouting about he also did not give a shit. 

More stuff seemed to be placed inside the small box making it even more crowded than it already was. It was hot, stuffy and damp, not the best combo. This caused him to pant a little making red eyes move the skin and peek in on him pushing in something that smelled like food. He took what was a gift and started to eat it trying to distract himself from the…

Way.. WAY to small space…

Also is that the sound of his own heart?

Why is he scared??

Shaking his head to clear those thoughts he went back to trying to eat what ever the fuck he was given.

There was a loud rumble that started from deeper inside the monster. Was it waking up? That loud rumble started to quiet down into a low but consistent rumble. 

He digs his claws into the solid ground and the monster starts to move well. He thinks it's moving. He's still honestly trying to finish this food and breath normally. The same squeak from earlier drew all of his focus from all the overwhelming sounds and food  to the ground below   him where the blue-ish thing was visible again. It quieted down after a second though leaving them with just the slow rumble from the monster…

Rumble.

After what felt like eternity the monster seemed to stop going quiet seeming to go back to its dormant state.

Light poured into the small peep hole and he let out a breath he had not known he was holding.

“Welp here he is. Now the Money??” Red eyes chipped his words from outside the box. Which reminded him of some of the birds he had caught.

A long pause…

“Welp I helped bring it in, now the money?” Red held out there paw with fake confidence from what he could tell. 

“Hmm…Not yet Sawaya” A dark new voice rumbled out… It caused his fur to bristle. 

The cage was moved and he tried to get a semi good look at where he was now through the small ass hole. Then the skin that covered his cage was ripped off, blinding him. Blinking to clear his eyes showed him many things, one being it must be late to mid day and another was someone new that was grinning down at him like he was prey.

“Boys take Sawya to the back with the other two. Would you?”  It was said sweetly but it sounded like nails on metal to his ears ”I want to have some quality time with my new experiment” That last word caused his fur to all stand on end. He was hyper aware of the guy's everything from his pungent smell, his height, his skin, and his eyes...Oh those eyes are-

“So you're 1120, I've heard a lot about you from the higher ups.” he shifted into a more defensive stance. I dislike this twoleg so fucking much I wish the other three would return, at least they arn’t so unnatural.

His eyes were two different colors one being a dark purple, and the other a deep blue…They looked lifeless though looking at him like he's meat to be feasted upon. Looking more at his face showed he had 3 large claw marks on his cheek… They had some green stretchy stuff covering these wounds. 

Purple blue, grinned a wicked grime that stretched too far, too far, the scare marks stretched along with the green stuff…

“I have so much planned for you but we will start simple” Scars voice was deadly. 

The Purple blue looked to the side and yelled “Boys is the New containment ready?”

Some guy he didn't notice in the corner stepped forward after looking at a glowing box he spoke sounding like a rabbit facing a dog “Y-Yes sir.”  

“Excellent, make sure it gets there unharmed.” scarface swooped up forcing his head to crane up to see the tom-twoleg completely. Now that it was standing at its full height it was much larger than most of the other twolegs. 

“Also boys clean him up, he looks disgusting and damaged, fix it.”

Multiple other twolegs, that were covered in white skins, scurred over to the cage he was in one seeming to trip on there own skin pushing the cage it through a large exit on the side of the den.

“Sama run ahead and open up the medical room door”

“Yes Sir” one of the shorter twolegs ran ahead of the group of them.

The cage rattled as it was pushed down the long tunnel. Looking up he saw a paw that was just a bit too close in perfect range to bite. Another twoleg yelled something out causing his target to get away.

Fuck you twolegs.

The twoleg from before was seen farther down holding one of those exits open… Is that what they call a door?

Two more white skins lunged at him with a metal stick with a long ring on it. He managed to doge the first but ended up running into the other stick. Which wrapped around his neck, tightening he wanted to scream out but he couldn't. More of them piled onto the stick dragging him out of the cage and pushing his head down to the ground. Two of them got onto his back so he tried to become larger to shake them off.

This caused his curse to fizzle out. Shit Shit SHIT SHIT he used it so much it was gone for now he was back as a cat and the twolegs capitalized on his weakness grabbing him and wrestling him into a white box that poured water onto him.

One of the twolegs put something around his snout, making it hard to open trying to remove this thing, got his paws grabbed and manhandled down to the bottom of the box as their paw pads went through all of his fur.

He wanted to bite them but he couldn't with this damn mouth lock.

Then as quickly as he was put in there and from what he heard one of the twoleg say cleaned…He was moved onto a table from what he could guess by another twolegs words.

All his word guessing stopped the moment he heard something loud reved up next to his face,  pushing out loud hot air into his coat while another twoleg was using something like a tongue to go through his slightly curly fur.

This was quickly over and he was moved onto a table and he was latching down with one of his sides up to the air his paw was touched and moved causing it to flare up in pain again. As another twoleg removed the muzzle. That's what another twoleg called the face cage. The one that removed it opened his mouth forcefully and started poking at his teeth. 

A few of the other twolegs were doing other things like removing skin from his legs that was infected from his open wounds…Where are thos- This thought was cut off when he heard something click and buzz removing some of his fur from his rear leg…

Then a loud popping filled his head along with blinding pain from his rear shortly after any attempts to fight got him pinned down more, he really wanted No Needed to scream but he couldn't,closing his eyes to try and push the popping away. It hurts, stop 

Stop…

Why won't the popping stop, it feels like my head is about to explode. 

He pinned his ears, and yowled low which was hard considering the twoleg still in his jaws. Finally after a painfully long time he opened his eyes but everything was so blurry that he couldn't tell heads from tails. The blurred white skinned twolegs moved around him and put something under his skin then continued to walk around him quickly. All the sounds around him had been filtered out some time ago.

His face was lifted up by one of the white skins that weren't holding him down and reattached the muzzle around his face, though he was too out of it to resist the twolegs actions.  

Just his breathing was all he knew was still there by the end of it then he was moved back into the same cage with a collar around his neck and it started moving his eyes shut for what felt like minutes but they were somewhere completely different when he focused in.

The door he was pushed into showed him a new den area; it had a large cage that spanned the whole room. It looked clean and had a nest-like thing in the corner of the room. There were black things in every corner that weren't inside the cage. There were 3 doors that he noticed on the side that went to a room covered in sticks with rings. Two of these doors looked like they were made for two legs but the last one was odd; it looked way too small for a twoleg to fit into even a kit one.

As they pushed the cage closer and as one of the twolegs loudly fiddled with one of those things that seemed to be keeping the cage closed he felt the creature grab onto his coat firmly.

Looking around the den more he noticed a slit in the roof that looked out of place if anything.

Then a click echoed around the room. Some of the twolegs went to the cage with the sticks and pulled him out when they noticed he didn’t fight; they just picked him up and placed him on the nest. 

Not even minutes after being put into the roomy cage he passed out from exhaustion, the day finally catching up to him. Unnoticed to him the can was back, but now was sitting on the roof eating a piece of scrap metal without a care in the world, purple eyes scanning for its next piece of metal to eat.

Chapter Text

Waking up again from a dazed sleep god damn he's getting tired of this half dead waking up. He looked around at the cell not noticing his little friend anywhere…Is it fitting to call it his little friend?

Shaking that thought off he took stock of himself there was some white second skin wrapped around his legs and rear…I think they're called bandages his mind supplied what they where how did he even know this? But are all of them called that or just these ones?

Continuing to look at himself he noticed the dreaded collar he felt while being manhandled on his neck, his fur looked cleaner and a lot healthier so out of it all that was the only bonus.

He pushed himself up with a small groan of pain limping forward to one of the bowls that had water in it.

Looking around the cell some more as he staggered to the bowl he saw what he heard kittypets called a litter box in the corner. 

Hearing a shift from the side caused him to snap his head over to see a she-twoleg looking up from whatever she was working on. “Oh you're awake, I-ill be right back, I need to tell the boss. umm … don't move??” She sounded unsure she was blond with brown eyes with no real noticeable features other than being covered in a blue second skin… Should I call it bandages?

Fuck it…Its bandages now.

Well no shit blue bandages , where would I even go to begin with. Just hurry up, I'm starving. 

  1120 flexed his claws to give them a try in their new body. They feel different but right. 

Maybe it was for all he knew.

Limping over to the water bowl his mind helpfully supplied thank you random words I know .

He started to lap up the water like it was the first bit he had in moons emptying it rapidly. Deciding he was done with whatever bandages where on his rear he went to bite them off…Well attempting to.

The door slid open revealing scarface and there unsettling presence fucking great, this bitch is back. 

“Now, now 1120 why the rush to remove those, if you're so excited to do something.” he tunes his to the only other twoleg in the room right now. 

“Kuramoto get the healer” the voice sang out like a dying bird.

“Yes sir, right on it.” Before she could make it out the door all the way, Scar calls out one more request. 

“Also be a dear and grab the trio we just hired. Lets also see how 1120 reacts to them but tell them no such part of it inform them that they are to prepare hunting test 1 then stay there” the freak of nature snapped his paw pads.

“Oh okay Sir, are you quite sure about this though?” He simply nods and turns his attention to the doors on the other side of the room. 

“Boys bring the travel cage or the leash” 3 twolegs poked out from the door one giving a nod the other two saying in an overall loud tone “Yes Sir!” one putting up their paw to their head.

“None of that hand shit boy” the ‘boy’ in question flinched going in on himself and nodded.

All 3 ran off to collect what ever there master told them to collect looking up at this tall mother fucker made his fur stand one end.

“Patience little one” those purple blue eyes locked him in his place causing him to gulp and take some long heavy breaths.

“We know that you're smarter than your average cat.” his eyes creased in the way one would when finding prey. 

Lovely fucker knows I am smart… No playing dumb to escape can work with him around…

Inless.

His ears perked up at the loud clatters and bangs coming from down the hall the 3 ‘boys” returned with another cage and a thin metal grass piece? Wait is that the leash scarface asked them to collect…

The other group of twolegs returned with a new one that had pinkish hair who briskly walked right up to him forcing him to give a quiet hiss but she just opened the door with 0 fear and grabbed him making at least 2 of the other twolegs squeak with surprise.

Trying to struggle out of the she-twoleg grip was pointless. It was iron strong and she manhandled him right up to the other cage. Holding him down on the top of the said cage grabbing the bandages and ripping them off making the sore skin flare up in pain which rapidly subsided the moment the twoleg touched the injured skin. Getting a good look at his new wounds and his old ones that now looked more healed then before.

How the fuck…

Looking at his rear he saw something that looked like a word or numbers? He's unsure honestly which it is on his leg lifted up and looking angry.  

Being pushed down into the cage the twoleg holding the leash went and put it onto the dens side while scarface just watched with glee.

“Bring him down the hall door testing room 5” scarface spook the moment at least 2 of the twolegs looked at him.

He must be their god damn leader…and this pink ones there med…

Being pushed down another long hallway passing many doors. Why are there so many doors? What's behind them all?

Moving into a door that had a plate next to the door he guessed this was room 5 when they opened the door.

There was a large clear box in the middle of the room.The part that really piqued his interest was the second smaller box to the side of it. You couldn't see inside it like the other but he heard the sound of anxious prey from it.

 He lowered his hanches into a crouched position as they moved his cage closer, opening it up and allowing him into the large clear box.Which snapped closed the moment he was fully into the box. He ignored it in favor of zeroing in on the box swaying his green striped tail back and forth, waiting for the the box to be fucking opened all ready. 

It smells delectable even before I ripped into it. His stomach growled which normally would ruin a hunt but there's not a place to escape for either of them. When was the last time I ate ?  

“On three” A twoleg from the side was speaking.

“Now” 

The box was lifted to reveal a small gray rabbit that tried to dart out which, was so naive of it since it had no clue what was about to happen.

Darting at the thing the moment it tried to make ground grabbing onto its neck and whipping it to the side snapping its neck in the process.

Letting out a short growl he readjusted himself to be better aligned with the prey, fully intent on shredding it to pieces, savoring every bit. 

“This is quite fascinating. How long has he been in there as of now?”  

“2 minutes Sir” 

“Is this data abnormal compared to the data we have of the other 100 non-quirked cats?” Scarface was talking but he didn't give a shit tensing up to protect his meal more effectively.

“Yes it is, some cats refused to touch the prey, others waited at least minutes after the prey moved and with the tests that the prey stayed inside the box all cats would stalk it before pouncing. Only 4 cats out of them all went for the prey the moment it started moving.”

“Muramoto put the other rabbit into the box” Scarface spoke.

Looking to the side to see if any of these damn twolegs would move to try and steal his prey he noticed Red eyes, Yellow eyes who was approaching with another box, and lastly orange eyes who was standing in the corner.

They were shifting on there paws as he watched them

He paused for a split second when his and reds eyes made contact.  He didn't know why but he felt guilt start to bubble up in his gut when he looked at the leaf well I guess bandage that covered one side of their face. When he looked a yellow he felt resentment but not anger, finally there was orange he had many mixed feelings about the group that he did not fucking care to unpack anymore then he had.

They only where tolerable since they don’t just manhandle him everywhere and they feel natural unlike these other fuckers… Who give off the same uneasy aura that scarface but smaller.

Shaking himself he turned his attention back to the box being brought closer. I'll worry about feeling shit later, I need to catch it standing from his paws. He left his mostly eaten prey in favor of catching the other and devouring it. He walked right up to the box giving yellow eyes an annoyed glare who stuck up the middle paw pad at him then she put the box down right where the last one was.

“Hunting Test 2 will begin on 3”

“Now”

The door slid open and he launched right for it before he even saw it grabbing the small critter that kicked back into his neck trying desperately to escape its doom. This made the predator latch its claws around the small things sides and pulling down his claws created nasty rakes down its sides. This sadly caused the guts to drip out making a mess but having the now twitching prey made him quite happy so he didn't give a shit. 

He dragged his prize over to the other one and went to finish the first piece of prey he caught. After he ripped into the new prey which left a blood trail around the box, yellow eyes darted back to the other two and quietly cursed under her breath.

Orange eyes said “I should've just stayed with my shitty vet job.”

“I feel the same way about my job but damn” Red eye commented while looking at him in his eyes.

What's with this guy and eye contact?

“How fascinating, did it pounce after hearing the sound or did it see the prey? Or did it just expect the prey to be in there…”  

“That's enough for one day.” Scarface sounded way too pleased with himself.

“Gather 1120 up, Sawaya, Muramoto and Ashikaga after you finish take your lunch break” He waved the group of them off.

“Ladies and Gentlemen do what you need.” The monster's footsteps was the last bit he heard from it.

Yellow eyes stepped forward holding out her metal pole that cracked. Red eye scanned the room looking for something but not daring to move.Orange, well orange just sorta surged and sagged unconcerned about their task . He growled, pinning his ears, and looking at yellows metal stick with slitted eyes.

“So I might have forgotten my weapon at the transport site.” Red shuffled his paws on the ground. 

“You're going to be the death of yourself some day Sawaya, I swear to god.” Orange side eyed the tom-twoleg. “Just use this, DO NOT BREAK IT, or you will pay with your life.” they had tossed red a sinny metal stick with a point that glissed in the fake lights above. 

Leaf's face, what? He was getting tired of red being called red.

Leaf’s face looked from orange to the stick and back several times. 

“You can't possibly trust me with this”  Orange barked out a short laugh. 

“I don't but we can't have you dying, can we now?”  

“Yeah who else would be our little scapegoat” yellow piped up. He turned his full attention to the threat that was now right next to him. Hissing louder than he had on the last day but it was still pathetic, unsheathing his claws ready to claw yellows eyes out if needed. Yellow entered the box and was avoiding the blood like its whitecough. 

“Hey, remember don't startle it, you know what happened last time” Leaf face warred yellow. 

 Wow the dumbass actually had some good advice.

Everyone in the room snapped their attention to a small clang that came from the opposite side of the space, a piece of metal was now on the ground. Then another one fell to the ground with a slightly louder clang. Then the little creature fell out, plopping face first into the ground and then disappearing, melting??? None of them were quite sure what just happened. 

The twolegs gained their composer much faster than he could.  And as he was still blinking from what just happened, yellow swung the buzz stick at him making him shoot up and back himself into the corner. This made him stumble back, vision swimming from the shock.

Red came rushing in using the stick to pin his back down to the ground making orange and yellow flinch back. Then red grabbed his scruff under the collar and put his hand under his legs holding him upside down.

With a large shit eating grin “Caught him”

Trying to wiggle out of the grip did nothing since his belly was up and his scruff was still held while being held in this awkward pose. 

Orange cringed back. “ Sawaya, seriously did you used a fucking spear like a snake lock?”  

“Maybeee, you can’t prove shit.”

“Um-hum, I'm recording you doing it right now, sooooo.” Orange waved over their phone. 

You've been demoted back to asshole for this one Leaf face.

Asshole looked shocked but yellow piped up “Come on Dumbass lets bring it to the cage before they have us to its nails.”

They started walking down the hallway. The 3 twolegs were chatting about god knows what he honestly didn't care since he was planning the best way to get revenge on red eye. Then yellow opened a door. I need a new name for these 3 dumbasses since they seem to be staying . 

Red said something to yellow and yellow went to grab a bag that had a cat on it going into the cage and filling a bowl orange looked at her and sighed.

“You know there's a food door right?” He pointed to that 3rd smaller door on the side of the cage. Both of the other twolegs looked slightly embarrassed with yellow hiding it much more effectively then asshole.

“I just wanted to go into the cage that's all” Yellow was looking away and she messed with the bowl.

Asshole approached the cage with him and went to stand by the nest starting to flip him over and plopping him down turning on a dime and darting out panting like a fucking mutt.

He honestly just stood there hearing their foot falls looking back showed an empty room so he sighed.

Well this is my life now I guess…

Turning to get comfortable he notices the little creature in the corner sitting there looking proud of itself. He couldn't help but to glare at it for its earlier stunt flopping down and deciding it's not worth it closing his eyes to sleep.

Chapter Text

How long has it been 1120 was sitting up and looking around seeing the little creature doing its strange shit again…

The only good thing about this situation is learning the twoleg terms, like their paws have two different names mattering which ones you're speaking off, hands which don't have pads they got fingers and feet the ones they walk with. Which is strange enough but don't get me started on the bandage, blanket, bed, and clothes they are all made out of what they call cloth. 

Still referring to the bed as a nest though it’s just less of a hassle. 

This twolegs call themselves humans no clue why but they do that, and this area is called a room…There rooms not dens.

Also the fact that all two-Humans have the curse well they call it quirks was a surprising revolution but it makes sense how eye swirls or orange…I still need a better name for that bitch. Yellow is Snake now and leaf eye lost the leaf but now has a black thing so their name still works.

From what I know, Snakes quirk is something that makes objects extend and stretch like a muscle…It's odd but the she-twoleg needed to be holding or touching whatever she wanted to use her curse on.

Now I got a guess as to what Leaf faces quirk is from the foggy memories that keep appearing, something about his teeth and memories. Not fully sure what the correlation is, maybe biting? Wait, was I bitten by leaf?

Lastly orange’s or swirls curse, it's something with his eyes and orders. After he told me to be quiet I couldn't make loud sounds for days I now can but it was annoying to put it lightly.

Scarface though…Still no clue I wonder the deal with the green shit though. Not sure I want to know either. And there quirk or curse what ever the fuck you wanna call it is a complete mystery still.

I do wonder one thing: if quirks or curses are so common for humans why do I have one? From what I remember my mom was the only other quirked cat I have met…Unless these curses are just more common in different animals.

He laid down, turning over to stare at his paws shifting into his larger form to stretch his wings.

If that train of thought is true then what animals is it more common in? I doubt it's common in rabbits, or other small animals. I can't say much about dogs since running is more important than seeing if it's cursed. Maybe weasels? Honestly I have only seen one so I can't say. Deer? I have seen 2 not enough to make a concussion…But if I am going off of cats it's at least 1/100 cats but it could be even higher like 1/1000 cats but I only have met like 80 cats in my lifetime…But i never asked so I can't really say or tell how many of them were quirked.  

A loud click echoed in the empty room looking over showed that it was just leaf face who's gotten into the habit of coming in here and trying to pet me…I am not sure why the dumbass keeps trying.

Leaf looked up at him and flitched at his transformed self starting to stalk in much…much slower. Coming down into the normal spot with a strange thing in his pa- hands, he opened it and sat down. He was just quietly sitting there with said thing for a long moment and he decided to ignore the dumbass.

Turning over and walking over to the bowls he drank out of it letting his long fluffy tail sway back and forth perking his ears up he heard Leaf cursing and looking back he could see that he was looking at one of the glowing boxes.

“Great, we got to set you up for a strength test again…”

He tensed up the last time he heard those words. He was thrown into a cage with a starving dog. It was a nasty fight…That he won since that dumb mutt isn't alive anymore but it broke his leg bone and almost ripped his tail off before he could transform. Once he transformed the dog was dwarfed by his largest transformation size grabbing its hind legs and front with his talons pulling to rip it in half. Was extremely effective though.

All the twolegs-Humans Fuck I need to get better at that avoided him except for scar face which got me dragged into that damn room with all those humans…

Shaking out of his thoughts he saw leaf face grabbing the leash with a gulp.

“Please behave so we don't have to make this way harder than it needs to be” Leaf sounded like a begging kit.

He was only tolerating leaf face and the leash is for a few reasons one leaf does not drag him around with the damn thing. It also allows him to sniff some of the other rooms and get a better idea of what's in them.

Leaf entered the cage and clipped the thing on him Snake, and swirls bursted through the door falling onto each other, well more of Snake falling onto swirls and they both started to squawk like chickens.

“Get off of me Muramoto” The shorter guy tried to push off the much larger and stronger she-human.

“Naaah you're quite comfy if I do say so myself” Snake grind down like a kit that finally pinned their littermate.

Leaf face looked so done with the other two but just leaned against the wall holding the leash. This allowed him to get a good sniff of leaf face and to see behind the desk in the corner that was next to the door. 

Snake looked up “Hey dumbass you ready to get the creatu-” She cut off her sentence and stared down at him like he grew another head.

Looking up at Leaf face he had the face of the cat that ate the canary “He seems to like me”

“Dumbass you went into the cage alone with no one else around?! What would have happened if it attacked you in that transformed state?”

“I lose another eye or limb, that's really it though” He shrugged and swirl escaped from the she-human. 

“I must agree with Muramoto that was idiotic Sawaya” he started the lecture.

“You could of died you fucking idiot” He stood looking down at Snake who looked content to stay on the floor. 

This made leaf face shrivel a bit “I didn't think of that…”

“Do you ever think?” Snake snapped out sitting up on the floor looking at him making them eye level with each other.

“Enough of this Ashikaga” the she-human smacked the tom-human in the snout.

“Let's get going before the new boss gets pissy with us.” Swirls was trying and failing to struggle out of her grip.

Leaf face started to walk out the door and into the hallway going down it in the direction of the damn fighting room. He looked back at the other two while 1120 took this chance to smell under one of the doors; it smelled like blood and feces; the quiet yowling of cats could be heard from inside. “Oh which room are we going to again?”

“I think it was room 285?” that was snakes voice

Leaf groaned loudly “That's Over half way across this facility”  

“You're the one who read the thing wrong” swirls snarked. 

“Then proceeded to message us to get to the cage saying ‘oh it's only 8 rooms over lets do this’” Yellow snapped from behind.

“You should have known not to trust me, with direction’s” leaf face retorts. 

As they walked on the smell of blood got steadily stronger, causing unease to settle within him. Leaf faces laughing had him trying to focus on what they were going on about if only to settle his nerves.  

“Couldn't even get around my own elementary school back then” he mumbled to himself, though snake heard and pounced on the weakness. 

“Did you get lost and need to call mommy” She mocked him, nudging his arm.

“W-what no I didn't ?!” leaf squealed in offense.

Swirl was trying extremely hard to not laugh in the corner from what he could tell sniffing around was just making him anxious but the walking was kind of nice but looking up to the side wall seeing the number 89.

“What do you think Ashikaga” snake snickered. 

Swirl snapped out of his quiet laughter and stopped to think about it for a second “Huh ... Yah he probably did call his mommy for help.” His face near the end shifted to a sickening smile.

“When we get back to the damn dorm you both are getting your asses beat” Leaf gave them both a glare.

“Sure mister one eye, whatever you say.” swirl mocked leaf and his single eye. 

“Oh thats it Muramoto do you want to tell Ashikaga how we caught this furball since your plan so spectacularly worked” he mocked right back causing Snake to freeze.

Swirl quirked an eyebrow looking at them both “I thought your plan worked since you caught 1120.”

“Well it didn't go exactly to plan, but we still caught him right?” She awkwardly laughed.

Leaf face grind “Thats a Fucking understatement wasnt the plan for you to use your quirk on your weapon to trip him?”

“Well I didn't think it would duck” she retorted back.

“The only reason we caught it was because it got too close to me” Leaf sounded proud of himself but Swirl was looking them both up and down.

Swirl sighed “Most plans do implode when contact with an enemy happens.”

Looking up at the wall again revealed that they are at door 279 the blood scent increased making him want to pull back or run as they approached. 

“Looks like we are here already” 

Entering the room was filled with a sickly strong smell of blood that assaulted his nose. The room itself was quite empty to say the least, nothing but a large caged pit in the middle with shiny walls on all sides. 

Scarface strolled out a door opposed to them. He wore the same thing he always wore those black and white clothes.  “Finally you're here, what in the world took you three so long?” 

“Funny story Bos-Sir , Sawaya here miss read the numbers thinking we were going to room 28 and not 285.”

“Well next time be punctual”

“Of course Sir, wouldn't happen again” not a bone in leafs body moved until scar held out his hand for the damn leash. 

Leaf hesitated, looking down at him to the leash and back to scarface, who was getting inpatient. 

I might not want this but i'll save you the trouble, dumbass.

“Give it here so we can put 1120 into the pit“

He ripped away from their arms and went over to the arena's door. One of the other humans saw this and ran over to him, unclipping the leash.

“At least one of you knows how to follow basic orders” then he left the room heading back into the other room.

Leaf flinched at the remark but made no comment walking over to the other two, who were giving small glares to Scar- the door slid open he walked into the pit again being assaulted with the vile smell, lucky he was still in his cursed form…well quirked form. 

“Good boy 1120” his fur brussels at the comment. 

Looking around the arena locking eyes on the writhing pack of dogs, and to make it worse the only thing holding them back were these pathetic flimsy leather straps. 

Im going to be fucking killed. He scanned the arena for an exit, of course why would there be one .   He standed only slightly taller than the dogs since he couldn't get larger with the low ceiling. Sadly this seemed to be a much smaller arena then the other one.

The first dog was released lashing forward at a rapid speed opening its jaws attempting to grab his neck; he swung his talons up and hit the dogs snout. He needed to get space, flapping his wings to push back caused him to hit that same low ceiling giving the dog an opening to grab his leg. The dog whipped its head to try and pull his leg out of its socket. Letting the dog pull him forward he leaned into it to reduce the possible wounds landing hard on his own snout and kicking back at the dog that was now attempting to grab his side.  He smacked it with his wing twisting out of the way of another harsh bite.

Another beast was released onto him growling loudly charging right for his injured leg, the only noticeable weakness he had. As quickly as he could he jumped over it, raking his talons down its back as the other dog lunged and clamped down onto his outstretched wing making the bone let out a sickening snap that sent them both into a roll down into the wall. Kicking off the damn mutt he got to his paws lashing his tail and screeching. 

There's still three more that haven't been released… I'm barely standing after just two.. I wish the other 3 two-humans would at least take me back to my fucking cage. 

He lunged for the dog that staggered at the noise attempting to grab its neck, the dog retaliated by pushing its leg into his jaw while grabbing onto his scruff it stood on its hind legs over him. He matched it standing on his hind legs in his peripheral vision he noticed another one of the dogs coming for him, getting an idea he pushed the dog he was wesling right into the charging one causing both of the mutts to crash to the ground. Taking a breath he felt another smaller dog crashed into him. Shit another was released. 

He craned his neck to bite down on the smaller mutt yanking it off and whipping it at the wall this seemed to be the smallest of the 5... 

Is it dead? Hope it burns in hell if so. 

The smaller dog seemed to stop moving for the most part looking to the other two dogs that growled and lunged seeing the one with the snout injury we went low to the ground becoming smaller then making himself larger under the mutt to claw its underside causing it to let out a pitiful whimper. 

Dropping to the ground breathing heavy looking to the side he saw another dog be released and the original back raked one was on top of him he let his body fall back onto the panting one kicking up at the beasts underside and rolling off the jumping back for more space he was met with teeth on his tail which pulled him back harshly. 

It capitalized and grabbed onto his hindleg and ripped some skin off he whirled around grabbing onto its snout with his teeth biting down. One of his sharpened teeth made a mark over its eye causing the mutt to release him. Giving him a precious moment to breathe and maybe kill these two dogs before the final comes out. 

Getting up he ran for the closes dog and got a clean hit on its neck finally able to push it straight into the fucking wall making a sicking snap. The last dog that was still free ran at him and latched onto his side causing him to yowl. He flashed his talons and raked them down the side of the damn mutt causing it to cower in a corner.

The final one was the largest of the group, and it was released the moment he had air. Running the best he could to get more space. But this pit was so small that it didn't take much effort for it to catch up with him and pounce onto his leg, yanking him back. He let out a yowling screech as he landed on his broken wing, vision going dark for a split secant 

The smell of blood and rain mixed in his nose, his group half dead. Dogs were everywhere, maybe ten or so. 

“What do we do Russel?! We're surrounded and most of our group is dead!” star, a white and brown she-cat desperately asked their leader. 

“I DON’T FUCKING KNOW” the brown tabby tom named Russel snaped out. 

Another tom cat looked at them “There dead we need to run” this one was a long black coat.

“But were you mouse brained-” a dog snapped out at the cat that spoke.

“Im getting the fuck out of here no matter whar, whos with me” he shouted out to the remaining group, already starting to run down a different ally away form the group a dog followed after the poor cat.

The cats started to scatter in all directions, some of them hid in small places others ran into the alleys around the junkyard. No one noticed the she-cat protecting her single kit inside the tube.

Getting to his paws he grabbed the dog pushing his form larger even though the grate from above pushed painfully into his back and broken wing. Nailing the dog to the ground and holding onto it until it stopped struggling.

Chapter Text

“Bring 1120 to the medical wing. Also prepare to introduce him to test subject 1189” 

The sound of humans approaching have him opening his eyes a sliver.Seeing the monsters with the dang ring sticks coming for him.” 

“Careful now, don’t what to end up like those dogs” a she-human voice joked. 

“You think we are stupid? Like the new blood trio?” Another snapped out throwing the ring over his head, he allowed it without a fight.

The humans harshly dragged him out and to the medical wing…Time blurred together with the blinding pain from his wing and the stark white that assaulted his eyes. 

He awoke in his cold cage with bandages covering his body and a shot of quirk suppressors in his system. Looking around he noticed some things had changed. The side his little box was on was altered halfway between the litter box and his nest was another nest…

Looking up showed him that the separator was dropped down and that the little creature was on the roof. 

A food bowl was filled with that disgusting fucking dry ass food. How did the kittypets eat that stuff everyday?! Looking again to the other side he noticed another bowl of water and food. Looking over at his own side he noticed there was another litter box on the side he was on…

The Door clattered open with a bang and a small what smelled like a weasel? Creature was dragged in thrashing and squeaking loudly. It didn't sound happy.

The two humans threw it in and closed the door, locking it rapidly, walking away and chatting about drinking or something. 

He so wished to get up and see what is was closer but with all his fucking wounds from them fucking dogs, he was to weak. And sore? Why was he all of the sudden so achy, did they drug him with more than quirk suppressions? 

The white weasel? Chittered some more distracting him from his pain for a split millisecond.  

He groaned as it became too much the creature from the other cage or his cage? Snapped its eyes over to him and looked as if it was dissecting him with its eyes alone. This caused his fur to stand on end and he hissed quietly.

The creature reacted by sitting up; it had the number 1189 on its back leg, and an old looking scar over its eye.  It stood on both its hind legs looking over all comfortable standing like that. 

“Why is it standing like a twoleg.” he spoke aloud this piqued his interest all right. 

Its tail lashed, seming to take offense to his comment  “I would like you to know I am not an it”

1120 blinked in surprise, slowly turning his head to fully face the mouse thing. 

“I am Nezu, principal of UA, highschool…Right now though I am 1189 to this illegal facility” Nezus tail lashed annoyed.

“I am 1120” he was still blue screening from the first time they spoke, not really taking in the full statement that was said. 

 “I-I wasn't aware you could even understand me to be fair about my previous comment” He stammered out turning red in the snout at his rudeness.

The creature sighed “It's fine my fur is quite bunched up from this entire ordeal.”

“It’s fine…Now that I think about it What's a UA? Or a Highschool for that matter.” He flicked his tail and stared down Nezu.

“Well a highschool is a place where older kits or pups go to learn to be sent off into the world, and UA is a hero highschool that I run and own.” While talking the rodent made gestures to keep his attention wrapped.

“The more you know of the world…” the creature fell from the roof right onto his head causing him to whine over dramatically aloud. The small thing looked up at him with its glowing tail.

“Who's your friend?” Nezu looked at the little creature with an analytical eye.

“Don't know this is the first time I have personally talked allowed in moons…Also I don't think the little guy can speak…Not sure what kind of brain makes a creature eat metal…”

“Wait…Are you saying that little thing eats metal” the rat creatures looked very excited at the prospect of this.

“Yes, why?”

“Listen…Midori if that thing can eat metal it can create a hole in the cell.”

“Already tried, he eats too slowly; they will notice if the beds move since they are bolted down. Also Midori?” He tilted his head at the word.

The other sighed “I refuse to call you a number so for now until something better comes up you will be Midori to me, unless you have a suggestion.”

“No I really don't, I just go with what humans and cats call me.”

“You look like a young pup, how'd this happen” Nezu gestured to all bandages and small cuts that covered him. 

“ Scarface setup this pit, there were five dogs, I had to fight all five, they were very strong” he let out a small hiss at the memory, wincing at the way it pushed on his sore ribs. “And after I was put into a very loud room filled with humans, Being so out of it I only heard something drugs, and the rest is a blur.”

Nezu humes, flicking his tail, walking closer to him and siding down  “Midori, how long have you been here?” 

“Maybe a 1 or 4 moons not sure I have lost track of time” he fiddled with his paws in front of himself. 

“Oh my pup, that's quite a while from what I know of the cat clans.” Nezu frowned. And that just wouldn't do if metal eater had anything to do about it, so they gave the now dubbed Midori one last little snuggle, then jumped off, scurrying towards Nezu. 

Climbing up the separator the little thing went into the roof and disappeared for a few mins.

“Are you planning to name that fella Midori?” Nezu looked at the hole as he started to climb the barrier himself. 

“Not sure what to call him, I don't even know what he reminds me of.” the feline huffed out.

“He looks like a common type of trash to me don't you think?”

“Do you mean cans?”

“Yep” The weasel sing songed while sticking his paw into the hole finding nothing he jumped down landing on all fours.

“Can…Cane? Canve? Cave Canb, Canl, Cani…Cani. I like the sound of that last one” he smiled looking up at the white rodent.

“Cani it is then” he clapped.

A clang echoed around Nezus side of the cage, then a small squeak. When Nezu turned there were the purple eyes of Cani staring back at him. “Well there you are little fella” The separator screeched open as Cani fell down and did that weird melting shit into the floor again.

“I still don't understand if it's a quirked animal or what it is…” 

“Some things aren't worth the time to figure out, when you must create an escape plan.” 

Midori just nodes, fully intent on just listening to Nezu. 

“First, what can you do? Since this seems to be all about quirked animal experiments.”

“I can shift into a…I think a human said I looked like a griffin and when I am in that form I can get larger or smaller…” He let Nezu shit next to him. “What's yours?”

“My Quirk is called high specs, it give me a higher IQ than a lot of humans”

“Oooh that also sounds really useful.”

“Yes, it is very useful now. What do you know about this place? I have been here for only 2 days so I am in the dark on most of it.”

“I know that there will be 3 idiot humans that will come in they are loose lipped so you can most likely get more out of them then me”

“Well then…Let me tell you a basic plan idea I got, this is nothing ironed out.”

“We need to first figuring out how to get out of this cage. A pin or something will work so if you see any small metal stick-like things, pick them up,” Midori nodded in response.

He swiveled his head around, scanning for anything shiny and pointy. 

“Pup there's most likely nothing like that in here” The rat was laughing.

“...... then where would they be?” Midori tilted his head, making his ears flopping to the side. 

“Not anywhere that I can get my paws on” he put his paws up, opening and closing them.

“The doors are metal and sharp??”

Nezu looked ready to break out loud into laughter looking closer he could see the creature's fur starting to go down from its fluffed up state. “No, No pup I can use those to open the doors for us”

“OOOooohh, you should have just said that then.” Midori shook his head like a disappointed parent,or that's just what it looked like to Nezu. 

“Well I just wanted you to know what we are looking for but we also need to locate the exit ” He flicked his tail to get Midori’s attention again. 

“What are we going to do with the predator?” he spat the name out.

“Well we can talk about ‘Sir’ once we finish the conversation about locating the exit”

Midori grinned toothly, “then what are we waiting for, what's the plan?” 

“Patience pup” he put his paws together. “What do you think we should do first?” 

“In finding the exit right? Well most likely finding one of those map things or them red signs, maybe the air also?” he started to ramble off ideas.

“Unfortunately they aren't complete fools, they removed those maps, though your idea had merit.“

“You think!!” Midori perked up at Nezus last words.

He paused for a second after mulling over the words “What about the red signs? And the air?”

“The exit signs are in a similar situation…Using our noses is most likely the most effective method.”

“What about Scarface now?”

“Sadly I haven't figured out enough to come up with a plan yet, Pup.”

“So see him and run is the plan for that at the moment?”

Nezu nodded, looking as ashamed as a weasel thing can. What the fuck is he actually? 

Midori flicked his tail, laying down a bit more.

“I say we plan to escape in about a day or so from now.” Midori stated, getting more confident in himself. 

“It does seem logical,” Nezu commented back. “We don't know how long they will keep us together” 

“One other question, pup do you think Cani can cut the power?”

“I'm not sure they've only ever come around to either bother me or steal scraps.” he sighed. 

“Let's ask our little friend later about that”

A loud bang sounded from outside the big set of doors. 

“The dumbasses are here” 

Chapter Text

Leaf face comes charging in first with Snake, and Swirl right on his heels. All three stood there trying to look tough but it came off as more off more as fake confidence then they looked down at Nezu and Midori. This caused all 3 of them to deflate.

“At least we don't have to act tough right now” Swirls leaned forward and scanned the room for anyone hiding.

“Yah good thing, not sure why ‘Sir’ Is being so suck up with how we act around these two now” Snake commented walking in and flopping on the floor.

“Honestly no clue, I mean they can't understand us right?” Leaf asked, looking at the other two.

“Well” Swirl looked at Nezu “If that rats anything like Nezu then they both can…”

Snake commeted “I doubt they caught Nezu so it's gotta be a twin right?”

If Nezu is known why would there be more than one super smart weasel?

Swirl nodded.

“Wait, wait…WAIT are you saying that there's a possibility 1120 can understand us???” Leaf sounded baffled.

“It's clear the thing understands us,” Snake pointed to 1120 and grinned. “What did you tell him about some of your deepest darkest secrets thinking he couldn't understand you?”

Leaf sputtered “No I didn’t” he turned away looking more red then normal.

“What a second, wasn't the barrier down between 1189 and 1120.” Swirl stepped closer scowling, eyes glowing a brighter orange ever so slightly.

Nezu’s fur bristled at the number.

“They haven't killed one another…………So I'm sure they're fine” red looked up from their hands and turned to the cage looking at the both of them. “You both won’t kill each other right?”

Both Nezu and Midori looked at each other with Nezu looking slightly amused at their antics.

“Shouldn't we separate them still?” Swirls was shifting on their pa-feet.

“Let it go Ashikaga, I'm sure that the boss let them together.” Snake put a hand on Swirls shoulder.

“But-”

“ Ashikaga, loosen up a little, it wouldn't be our fault if anything happened” Leaf said grinning.

“But we found them and could of-” Swirl started to splutter.

“If your so worried use your fucking quirk, and say you will not kill each other or something” Snake snapped out.

Midori hissed at leafs suggestion, Nezu put a paw on his back.

Leaf looked at 1120 with wide eyes. “I guess you both are right…”

Snake smiled wide while Swirl looked contemplated “Damn right we were!”

The tom-human glared at the she-human.

“Fine” Swirl looked at them both and started to activate their quirk.

“You will not Injure and or Kill each other” Swirls eyes glowed and shifted.

Midori flicked his tail annoyed. “At least this isn't a hard command.” He whispered out to Nezu.

Nezu's interest was piqued looking at the green cat.

“So do we tell the boss that 1120 can understand us, or…” Snake looked at Orange.

“Keeping this to ourselves? Is a great idea Muramoto” leaf answered before Swirl could.

The other two gave Leaf a long look before Snake finally said “Why does your Dumbass brain think that's the best choice?”

“You both said you knew that 1120 could understand us, and if ‘Sir’ finds out you knew and kept it from him do you think he would be kind to any of us?”

Everyone in the room looked at him like he just hung the moon because he said something fucking smart.

Wow, I didn't know he could do that.

“Who the fuck are you what the fuck did you do with Sawaya” Snake said baffled.

Snake and orange jumped away from Leaf face, holding p-hands almost falling right on top of each other.

“You three are quite peculiar” Nezu stood right by the bar's paws behind his back.

“YOU CAN FUCKING TALK???” Snake pulled Swirl closer, almost suffocating the small fella.

“Indeed”

“I got to ask now are you Nezus fucking cousin?” Leaf looked genuinely horrified at the prospect of an answer.

“Yes I am Itachi” Nezu lied straight to their face like the little shit he is.

Two of the dumbass sagged to the ground, relief evident in their body language.

“Wait…If you Nezus cousin…Then wont Nezu come to save Itachi?” Swirl looked ready to shake out of his boots.

The other two looked at him and visibly gulped. “So you're saying we may be more dead than we already are?” Snake started to pick at their fingers.

“If Nezu finds out they have him.” Swirls points at ‘Itachi’. “Then yes we are.”

“Fuckin hell, what are we going to do.” Red grabbed the fur on their head.

“We are dead no matter how we look at it betraying ‘Sirs’ a death sentence and non of us are living in jail” Snake snapped

“Sure but i'd rather go out swinging then getting killed by ‘Sir’” yellow snarked

The sly weasel spoke up “Why don’t I put in a good word to Nezu if you help us out a bit?”

Well this is a better idea then following are noses.

“Wait a fucking second, what are you perposing.” snakes yellow eyes pierced into Nezu.

“A Chance to get a lighter sentence or maybe none at all” The weasel's tail and posture revealed very little.

“We really can't do too much, we don't even know the exit of this place.” Swirls looked to the side.

Nezu’s tail stilled a bit “Are you not here willingly?”

“Sort of” Leaf shrugged “We got hired to catch the green cat, and were told nothing about it. Instead of giving us money they half kidnapped us.”

“The crime was just supposed to be pet napping at worst!” Swirls looked so done.

Snake looked at Swirls “No way 1120 was a pet, who the fuck names there cat 1120?”

Leaf face looked at Snake “Why didn't you question that earlier?”

Snake glared at him “High reward.”

“So, no you're not here willingly” Nezu snapped to get the three’s attention again.

“Still sorta just want money and to not die? You know?” Leaf says shrugging and Snake smacks him.

“To answer your question Yes.”

“In that case what can you tell me about this place?” The white weasel flicked his tail.

“We can tell you some of the guards' schedules around the ‘dorms’ and your cell but that's really all we got…”

“That will do just fine then…”

They talked about clocks and time for 10 fucking minutes and Midoiri couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

Leaf looked at the clock on the wall.“Welp we better get going on our lunch break, see you little guys later.”

Midori lifted his head from his paws, scowling. “Nezu can you please ask them for our fucking food, we havent eaten all day.”

He looked to the other, nodding “ Before you leave, would you mind giving us food?”

Leaf brightened up slightly. “Ah sorry about that for sure though.”

As the three of them left, orange looked over at the other two. “Call me Tadashi.”

Snake looked over to the other “Haruka then”

“Takahiro” Leaf face smiled back at the other two grabbing their field.

The door then closed behind them leaving a perplexed Midori and satisfied Nezu.

I wish I was into human things more because this is so damn confusing.

After a moment or two of silence. Midori turned to the white mouse-weasel thing.“Nezu, why did you tell them your name was itachi?”

“Well, they seemed scared of the idea of me. If they think the smartest creature in the world is after them they are more willing to get ‘Nezu’ off their tail.” a large grin stretched across the rat's face.

“So you're using their fear to your advantage?” 11-Midori tilted his head.

“Correct Pup, this is a fear tactic used to get one to do what you want.”

Midori went over to the bowl and ate some of the food looking up at Nezu as he spoke “How much do you know about humans?”

“Not much I was a loner” He turned his head causing his ears to flop to the side.

“So a stray?” The creature conformed.

“Mhm” he hummed whilst eating.

“Well would you mind me teaching you some of human culture and terms Pup?”

“Really?!” the cat jumped up looking at Nezu ”That would make things so much easier to understand.”

“Of course pup.”

Chapter Text

Cani blinked down at the two animals as they chattered on, their tail was swaying back and forth, just over all enjoying listening to the others talk about human stuff. 

Leaning closer to get a better listen when the white one started whispering to Midori, but he was apparently leaning too far forward because he fell flat on his face. 

“CANI, OH MY GODS ARE YOU OKAY!!” Midori shouted, jumping up onto all fours. 

“Midori settle down, I'm sure they're quite alright.” Nezu calmly consoled him. 

Cani rolled over showing Midori that they were just fine. 

He sat back down with a light thump. “Of course, Cani is fine I’ve seen them fall from the fucking roof muliple times.” he looked down figiting with his paws. “I guess it just startled me? Not really sure…” 

“It's okay Midori we all startle, it's a natural thing especially for cats.” Nezu said, consoling him. 

BANG 

The door hit the wall hard then bounced right back into Snake’s face.

I still refuse to call them by their names. They don't deserve my respect. 

Cani squealed and scurried away from the loud sound disappearing right at the wall. 

“Why did you do that Haruka, it was idiotic and something Takahiro would do.” Swirl Chastised .

“Hey, I'm standing right here you know.” Leaf whined. 

“Yah yah yah, stay on track you guys.” Snake redirected them to whatever they had to do

 “Oh, yah the double experiment…” Leaf looked honestly put out by the idea of it. 

Midori pinned his ears and bared his teeth at the prospect. Nezu put a paw onto Midori's head. 

“It's more of a test Takahiro” Swirl rolled his eyes landing on the twoleg in question.

“Same difference” Leaf crossed their arms huffing .

“No it's not but I'll let it go only this once, since ‘Sir’ is still mad at us, so we need to be there on time.” Swirl gave him a pointed look.  

Snake looked a leaf  “Takahiro you're the one that can normally get them to work with us mind using your secondary quirk” she joked at the end.

Leaf rolled his eyes. “Remind me why I put up with your bullshit.” 

“Because you looove up” snake batted there eyes

Going over to the wall leaf grabbed the leashes “Can you both just make this easy so none of us get in trouble?”

“We will cause no problems so no need to worry. ” Nezu flicked his tail. 

“Do you think we could just, like not put the leashes on?” Leaf looked at the other two.

“‘Sir’ most likely will be pissed,” Snake scoffs. Trying to act tough but fear was radiating off the she-twoleg. HUMAN FUCK I was doing good also...Well I think I was?

“Just processed in your goal” Nezu nodded to Leaf, getting all 3 of them back on task. 

Leaf came into their cage and clipped the leashes onto both of them and started to walk them out and into an elevator. 

“Soooo, what floor was it again?” Leaf questioned, looking at all the floor buttons and there was a fuck ton of them . 

“Floor B3 fucking dumbass” Snake hissed oddly close to a cat swear word .

Midori took upon himself to teach her another swear word.

Nezu fluffed up “You both need soap.”

Snake looked very confused at both the animals while Swirl was trying not to die and fall in full body laughter. “ I will explain later” 

The elevator stopped and let out a small ding. 

.

.

.

Scarface in all his green scarred glory stood  tall looking down at them like they were fresh kill, giving a large grin as they walked into the room.

Who charged forward grabbing onto the leash pulling it right out of leafs hand dragging Nezu forward and making the mouse choke slightly pinning the creature to the ground harshly.

“Boys collect the muzzle” Nezu was writhing under the taller man trying to escape the iron grip.

One of the other men went to grab a muzzle with an elongated snout area giving it to Scarface who pinned Nezus head down and slipped it on causing him to squeak. 

Pulling it taut around the weasel’s snout making the muzzle bite deep into the skin from what he could see. 

Midori looked up at Scarface and hissed loudly tensing up preparing to pounce. “Don't worry little kitty, only this rat needs one for now.”

Looking down at Nezu showed him shaking his head at the other, he listened to the silent request but he still glared at Scarface. 

“Boys put 1120 in chamber two.” The leash was harshly pulled back causing him to choke as he was grabbed. Then the leash was removed and the cat was thrown into the small dark room hitting the wall with a loud thud.

He crumbled onto the ground and heard Scarface faintly say “Put 1189 in chamber one now.”

Midori looks around, the walls were plain and so were the floors from what he could tell while his eyes were still adjusting to the light. But then the room flashed in a blinding white, lighting the room up. It also showed numbers that looked like how Nezu described a digital clock to be above the door. But it was counting down…from 10:00, to now 9:51.

Glancing around the room he noticed just how cluttered the room was with things that seemed quite random. Some were children’s toys while others were like cat toys and heroes? I mean there was a Nezu figurine so that's his best guess.  

When he took another glance around he noticed a hole low enough that he could easily push something into it.

So he picked up a plain red ball from the group of random shit, between his teeth and trotted over to the hole, putting it down and pushing it the rest of the way through. Seeing a white paw grab it and disappear. 

He waited for something looking at the clock.

8:59

A faint ding sounded in the background.

8:58

Nothing happened...

What the fuck am I supposed to do with all these things?!

Getting to his paws he started pacing the room, thinking of what to do next. He looked up seeing a poster with different objects on it, one being a similar ball to the one he pushed through earlier. Looking back to the hole, he saw something be half rolled into the hole which was a dinosaur toy but it wasn't on his poster. But Nezus paw stayed though? 

Why is he giving me a dino toy?

Looking around the room he saw another dino toy that was a different color. He dropped it onto the waiting paw which grabbed it ,pulling back to his side.

Still confused, he looked around again and noticed a box against the wall.

A faint ding happened.

Am I supposed to put the things on the poster into the box?

He grabbed the same color ball that was on the poster and dropped it into the box. He tilted his head listening to hear if anything happened. 

The same ding sounded. 

Oh shit. 

Straightening up looking more determined.

He went around the room kicking anything that wasn't on his poster closer to the hole so Nezu could pick through it and grab what he needed. Looking at his poster he only found one other of his items. The Wild Pussy Cat figurine. 

Ding.

Looking over at Nezu who was using another object to try and direct him to what he wanted, pushing the All Might figurine into the hole he glanced back up at the time which horrified him.

Ding.

4:12

Fuck I need to hurry up, I don’t think I want to know what will happen if that timer runs out. 

He meowed remembering he isn't muzzled “Nezu do you have the Green wheely thing? It's not a car though.”

Looking at the clock showed it was.

3:20

The object he asked for slid over. He grabbed it running over to the box, glancing at the clock and seeing.

1:16

A Ding echoed around the room and the door snapped open.

Nezu looked at ‘Sir’ as Midori was thrown into the room.

“Put 1189 in chamber one now.”

 One of the other men harshly grabbed him from the ground and dragged him over to chamber one. He was thrown in similarly to Midori but he twisted in the air using his claws to stop his sliding. 

Scanning his surroundings he noticed how dark the room was then just as quickly he was flashed with a bright white light.

Looking up after blinking the spots out of his eyes he noticed the timer that started its ticking down quickly glancing around. He noticed a plan room covered in items that littered the ground  and a poster on the wall. Walking over to one of the objects on the floor he picked it up, it was round and had stripes on it. He held it in his paws contemplating on what to do with it or if he even needed it. 

Looking around again he noticed a hole that a red ball was passed into. Grabbing it and looking it over, noticing nothing interestingabout it. 

Going back to the room itself giving it another scan of the full room he saw a box. Then he looked back at the poster. 

He grabbed a blue train that was on his poster looking at the time it was 8:59 he dropped it in a ding happened. 

He looked back up at the poster and noticed a green dinosaur. He grabbed the toy and pushed it into the hole.

He waited with his paw out and another dinosaur was passed through by a green snout.  

After a minute of standing around looking at the items he noticed that he didn't have any more of his items so he started to slowly sort the items he had and the ones that came through the hole. 

Ding

Another ding sounded out after a few seconds.

When he finished sorting most of the items and the things stopped flowing through he looked back at the poster seeing an All Might figure, so he pointed to it , threw the hole with another object getting Midori to bring it closer then grabbed it and pushed it through. 

Ding

Midori mewed “Nezu do you have the Green wheely thing? It's not a car though.” Nezu tilted his head for a second looking around if he had a green car but not a car?

Oh he must be talking about a train.  He looked around, spotting the object in question in the pile closest to him.

Nezu quickly ran over to it and ran back to sliding it through the hole. 

A ding echoed out.

He watched the door click open.

Midori walked into the room. Since the timer stopped he noticed another small room with another timer. Fucking lovely.

Looking around he saw a thing? On the floor that looked  like a black box…tile but something was off. It has small parts sticking up on each one, with one square missing. Grabbing one of the things with his mouth he found he could move them around. But not lift them out of the box area.

Looking at the clock he saw it say 19:10.

Which is a lot more time than before…

Looking back down at the floor,blacked out box thing? It started to light up for a bit… With some parts of an image watching it for a bit longer he started moving around the image parts that he could see around.

Looking up at the clock he noticed it was 9:57 now meaning that he spent basically 10 minutes of his life trying to sort these by half guessing and now they were all lit up.

He was kind of proud of himself; he only had about 4 pieces out of place.

Moving those pieces and putting them into their place he saw the clock still had 4:23 when a ding sounded out so he headed to the now open door.

Nezu walked into the room looking at the ground and seeing a giant board looking at the walls he noticed there was a screen with an image that looked faded out. Stepping on the board made the numbers appear like a game board he had heard of before but much larger. Walking the board caused it to die and restart. Walking again he noticed the image on the wall lit on some of the faded parts.

He looked at the number 1 trying to figure out the rules to the game walking over the side on a corner that killed him…

Ahh so those numbers tell me the amount of bombs that are either diagonal or touching the number. 

Testing the other theory by getting a middle spot alone with a 2 having every other space empty and there being only one flag inside of any of the other squares proved his guess. The more he revealed the board the more the photo lit up but when he completed it after about 5 mins another one appeared…A much larger one…

Looking over to the photo only about half was lit up. 

This was going to take quite a while…

Looking at the time he still had a bit over 15 mins to finish…

.

.

.

A small ding rang out at the 4:23 mark of the test.

Midori walked through the door seeing a pit looking up, saw barbed wire lining the roof making it impossible to fly in the small space. 

Great, fuck you very much.

He looked at the pit again, seeing there were wooden structures hanging from the roof and walls…

Was he suppost to cross these fucking stick like platforms???? Because if so Scarface is getting another Scar and I will MAKE SURE OF IT.

Stepping back he prepared to jump taking a deep breath he decided to just fucking go for it. Running and leaping smacking right into the platform getting a bloody snout, looking behind him he saw a way back up sighing he went  up.

Trying this again with more of a running start he landed onto the platform that creaked in a very displeased fashion, with this new added weight on it. Digging his claws in he looked to the next two jumps seeing they were close enough he jumped off trying to combo the two jumps almost falling off again like an idiot.   

Come on Midori your a fucking cat you can do this.

Sighing again he guessed he was out of practice? What practice has he had? He knows he was a street cat but…?

Running off a roof he slid onto the roof purring, continuing his run through the construction tube they were lifting, jumping out of it and landing into a full sprint off.

Oh yeah that did happen…

Focusing back onto the parkour he ran and twisted on his paws, landing going for the next jump and repeating at a faster tempo. 

Getting to a corner he let his claws sink in slowing down his speed. He jumped forward at the next jump hearing it start to crack. He pushed harder to the next one…It was all falling apart now… Shit.

Sprinting to the last jump he felt a splinter get stuck in his paw causing his next landing to hurt like a bitch pushing forward he rolled on the ground looking at the door and the splinter deciding that it was first. 

Nezu walked through the door looking at what seemed to be parkour but made with rotten planks, glazing up he noticed the barbed wire lining the ceiling.

They most likely didn't know which room Midori would be in then.

Looking down he saw a ramp for if he fell. Glancing back up at the first jump he took a running start landing the jump and just continuing on with his jumping.

After a few repeated jumps his leg with the label locked up with a flare of pain forcing him to grab onto the next jump most definitely giving him a nasty bruise. Pulling himself up he looked at the platform. That he had landed on seeing that it was holding his weight just fine. Still he compared it to the other planks, it looked to be one of the more ‘alive’ platforms so he was unconcerned about it snapping on him.

It took way longer than he would have liked to get his muscle to finally work and not lock up.  Looking  at the next jump seeing how the wood was extremely rotten and then the next plank wasn't rotten at all so decided that it wasn't a risk he went for it. Jumping onto the rotten one that broke on contact he got just enough push to land on the next one which was hanging in the middle causing it to swing precariously. 

Using its momentum he flung himself to the next one seeing that he only had 3 more jumps he ran for it hearing some of them snap under his paws. Taking that last jump and putting his paws against the wall with loud panting breaths he could say that it wasn't half bad. 

But Recovery Girl may have been right about his fitness going down. Most likely needed to take her advice next time.

He looked at the door and walked through it.

Midori looked to the side once walking through the door, meeting Nezu’s eyes. Sporting what looked like a blooming bruise which was better than his slightly bloody snout. 

Shifting his eyes to the room they both had entered he spotted a big glass thing in the middle of the room moving closer it had a drop down and on the other side of the glass container was a door. There were some more clearish doors on 4 of the sides of the glass container thing. 

A low pitched Growl echoed throughout the room, shooting his eyes over to the sound he saw the thing…

It looked like a very large cat thing, but it was all wrong. Its head looked more flat on the top and its snout extended much farther than any normal cat’s snout would, more like a bat the longer he stared. It also had long pointed ears reminding him of Pizza slices. What? He was hungry. Scanning the creature again he noticed the nubs on its back that seemed to connect to large bat wings that were full of holes. 

The beast raised its wings which now he could tell were really its front legs and folded them in continuing its low growl but it never directly looked at them…

Looking closer at it he saw that its tail which was covered by its wings earlier didn't fit its body either…It was this long scaly thing that was brown, most of it was brown. It was also very long  like a weasel if a weasel lost everything weasel about it. The only thing that even made him think it was catlike was the back hindlegs which looked to be cats…The scars covering each different section of it though wasn't painting a pretty picture…

Honestly the only way to describe it was a mix of animals, he's not sure if the creature was quirked or if it was made using a quirk … 

He didn’t want to fucking know though.

Nezu seemed to walk around the glass cage without much of a care about the creature which was now looking in his direction but it was clear it wasn't truly looking at him… 

Is it blind?

He watched it flap its wings and lunge right at Nezus location smacking against the glass with a fleshy sound...The weasel walked faster over to the door trying the nob which just rattled.

Midori looked down into the cage again, seeing a gold thing inside the sand and rock filled cage right in the middle of the floor. “Nezu…There seems to be a gold thing inside the cage.”  The weasel looked down seeing what he was seeing with tense shoulders and pinned ears.

We are going to have to go into that fucking cage arn't we…

Looking at the doors he went on the opposite side of the beast while Nezu went for another door they both nodded at each other opening their door the creature snapped its head. Looking between both of them its jaw hung open looking like a rabid animal even having the same dripping slava that was quite bountiful. 

Honestly he would have thought it was rabid if it wasn't for the fact it seemed to be tracking them with its big ass ears… Way too much intelligence showed in those yellow eyes and it charged with an open jaw, and it showed it long fangs on full display.

Transforming into the griffen form he noticed that the beast became larger to match his size and crashed into him trying to wrap around him with its wings. Opening his own wings to prevent the beast from doing so he noticed Nezu run under it with a stick in his paws then processing to stab the fucking thing right in the leg causing it to release him and fly into the air.

It screeched sending out a wave of god knows what barling right at him flying to the side got him out of the way of most of it…He still got pushed back while Nezu smacked into the wall with a loud thud causing the beast to lock onto the weasel's location. It tried to charge after Nezu but Midori intercepted the creature making them both roll causing the beast to smack right into the glass wall and growl, going back to its attempts to fly back up into the air.

Oh no you fucking don’t.

He lunged for it trying to grab it with his talons to pull it right out of air but the beast twisted using its scaly tail to smack him right out of the air diving onto him. Biting down on his leg sinking its large teeth into his flesh.

Letting out a loud yowl he used one of his talons to hook around the beast and dig right into its flesh raking down its back. Causing the beast to release him giving him the chance to kick the bat thing off but it just used his kick to stand on its rear legs opening its jaw for another sound based attack.

A Rock flew through the air from the side of the sandy cage right into the creature's mouth causing it to drop from its raised up position and it started to choke on the rock it tilted its head  down to try and remove the offending object. 

Midori took the chance to grab the beast's neck or scruff and push its snout right into the ground, sadly causing it to spit up the rock. In the corner of his eye he noticed Nezu running to the middle where the key was last seen. Digging in the sand and quickly snatching it as the bat threw Midori off, almost crashing right into Nezu but luckily for the weasel he was just small enough to slide right under him perfectly. Allowing Midori to stand over the weasel and let out a guttural sound that could have been considered both a squawk and screech.

The beast coward away from Midori going and laying down at the other side of the cage Nezu and Midori took this chance to get the fuck out. They both went over to the exit door and the white weasel unlocked it sliding open to show a small hallway…

Shifting back into his cat form he walked right in Nezu one step behind the door shutting after they both were in the very tiny T shaped hallway…

The hallway was Really to tiny. Barely one human could stand in this hallway without both shoulders hitting one side.

Going over to the left side he went to sniff the door slowly approaching it.

Nezu was still behind him looking at the roof and at the walls it was hard to tell what he was thinking with that muzzle limiting his already small expressions so much. 

Sniffing the door he could only really smell the scent of the facility. 

BANG…

The loud sound rang out causing him to jump and look behind him to find that he was now trapped in this even smaller space… It's small, way too small . His haunches were touching the door he came from while his nose was touching the other door trying to turn did nothing to ease his anxiety. 

Another BANG… rang out, and after way too long the door slid open he ran forward running straight into a wall. Looking around he noticed how small it still was…

Stepping back after shaking his head he looked around, his eye fell onto a light blue door that was clearly blocking the way. To the left side though there was a turn peeking around the corner just relieved a dead end to him going back to that original door. He scratched at it like some mutt would but who would of guessed it did FUCKING nothing …

Deciding to sit down and wait he noticed the light blue door screech open dipping under it before it was even fully open he saw a right run going down he saw a dead end, a pit and a tan door. The pit was on the left side of him while the door was on the right…

Looking over to the pit he saw it close with a loud noise walking over it slowly. It opened abruptly and he fell flat on his snout with a grumble…He pulled himself up to the side with the step and got out. 

The pit closed once again when he was out of it, he went straight and past a hallway that was on the left side.

After going straight he turned then turned again…and again right into a dead end…

Is this a fucking maze???

Going back into the pit he went back to the other hall going to the end of it and peeking around another corner sitting at the tan door. It slid open and moved into another hallway turning a few corners. Seeing a blue door again and a few turns to the left side one led to another pit and another leading to a deadend. Walking down the hallway with the dead end he saw another tan door and pit…

Going back to that first door he heard something slid open but it wasn't the door he was at…

Looking around he noticed one of the pits was closed going over to look at the second pit he saw they both were closed going to the first one and running past it seeing a tan door.

Hearing the pit slide open, hearing another door open but it wasn't the tan one…

Running back he jumped into the hole and climbed up and out he went over to the other pit. 

The pit closed again and he ran down a much larger hallway. He looked up seeing just how dark these halls were. In his distraction he smacked snout first into a blue door.

With a groan he got up and rubbed his more bloody snout…

God why the Fuck is it all ways the snout?

His thought was cut off by the door opening, going through he saw a few more turns continuing forward he saw another pit that closed, while he approached then a blue door and a dead end.

As he went to sit down to wait for the door it SNAPPED open much faster than the others had almost making him fall into the now opened pit.

Taking a right turn then a left he saw the door to get out of this annoyed fucking hell hole. 

Finally!

BANG…

Nezu snapped his head over to the loud sound noticing that Midori was gone and a door was now there so he went to the other side making another loud.

BANG…

Setting into the mainly empty room he saw two screens, one was blank and the other showed a maze with a bunch of colored doors and pits…

Looking down he saw a stepstool to a platform with 3 buttons on it which matched the doors and pit. They were blue, tan, and white…quite the miscellaneous selection of colors honestly but he wasn't going to inquire. 

Looking back up to the screen he saw a blinking green dot next to a blue door so he pressed the button making the dot move forward and deeper into the maze. 

Waiting a second for the dot to move when he saw it appear on the corner so he pressed the white button to see the dot appear on the other side, he pressed the white button again to see if anything would change.

The screen flashed on showing a video of Midori falling right into the hole and climbing out, lashing his tail…

Well then. Even though the muzzle bit into his jaw he had to grin. Since it was a bit fun to control the maze. Maybe making a more appropriate one for UA could be done… Clicking the white button he saw the green dot go the wrong way then back after hitting the dead end. Seeing the green dot move a few more corners he pressed the tan button. 

Waiting for a few seconds he opened the pit waiting for the green dot to get clearly inside.

Once it was inside he saw the screen flash again showing Midori smack straight into the blue door he pushed the button down to stop the cat from stewing in embarrassment. 

He closed the next door and the dot moved there he opened the blue door and the camera flashed again showing the cats almost stumbling at the doors sharp opening…

Once the cat had escaped he heard a familiar click from the door saying he could leave.

Midori strolled in with his tail lashing and at least 1 more bloody snout, understandingly pissed. I never want to look at a wall again. 

Looking up and sighing he stoped looking forward and shaking his head making sure he was seeing what he was fucking seeing.

Are those god damn saws…And swinging shit…

The hallway looked like a goddamn death trap with moving objects everywhere most rattled loudly sounding like a construction site but worse.

Walking in some more, a blade came out of the ground and sliced his side. 

Fuck. If Scarface wasn’t getting clawed before now he fucking would be now.

Darting forward to avoid a metal falling thing that sliced into the ground taking some of his tail fur with it. Moving to the left to avoid the swinging stick with a metal spikey ball on it.

Sticks shot out of the wall, one hitting his shoulder-ish area causing him to stagger. 

That moment got him rewarded with something smacking into him on the other side giving him another long scrap getting to his paws he ran forward avoiding being crushed by the skin of his teeth. Ducking under another swinging saw that sweeped overhead pushing forward into a maze of barbed wire that started to close in, the moment he stepped inside of it.

Getting out of there he noticed the floor had disappeared up ahead with spikes. Inside of the pit there was a narrow path in the middle that had at least 4 swinging things on it. He ran getting his rear hit, clearly popping his leg out of its socket from the sickening pop sound pulling himself up before he met the spikes seeing the door in the distance he sprinted as fast as his damn legs would take him.  

Nezus ears pinned back at the hallway that reminded him of an old pre quirk show full of death rooms. Seeing the slots on the sides for blades, saws and maces to swing out from looking farther down he saw quite a bit of barbed wire. 

It looks like this will be quite the ‘Treat’ to travel through…

Taking a stance he stretched checking his burn to make sure it won't lock up again, he darted forward scanning the hallway as he ran down, almost getting cut in half by one of the blades that shot out from the left wall. Sliding under a power crusher that tried and failed to squash him, getting back to his paws and pushing forward he moved out of the way of a swinging mace. 

SWISH… An unavoidable arrow smacked into his shoulder almost causing him to stagger back into another saw blade using his tail to rebalance himself he went on all fours to continue. Pushing all his paws forward ignoring the throbbing pain from the arrow. 

Going under a swinging blade he got to the barbed wire maze looking at the side he noticed it did not reach the roof he saw a mace just before it also. Jumping he used the wooden part of the mace to bounce off of it onto the wall and onto the other side not bothering to give the maze another glace. 

Landing down back into a sprint he saw a beam covered in swinging maces, wrecking balls and blades looking down showed that falling would be an early demise to being skewered.  Pushing forward he ran past the first 2 of them while the 3rd was coming straight for him it was a mace though so he jumped using its momentum to flung himself at the wall twisting to hit the wall and bounce off of it and back onto the path, getting to the end of the path.

Pushing forward on all four paws going through the small exits right into the next room. 

Notes and A map that we used while writing this (Created by us inside of Sims 4)

Chapter Text

Midori crashed through the door landing hard and rolling right into frigid water twisting under it and almost choking at the sensation. 

Opening his eyes he really couldn't see jack shit with all his blood and the dirt floating around  him so he started to swim which was easier said than done with one leg almost out of commission. 

It was taking way longer than he would have liked to find the surface, opening his eyes again he could now see a bit better. Turning his head up he saw the ground, checking behind himself he saw the air so he flipped over, using his one good leg to bounce off the ground. Breaking the surface with a coughing gasp looking to the side he saw a ramp to a small land bit.

Midori pulled himself onto solid ground, panting; he examined his leg, seeing that it was only popped, meaning he guessed right. Grabbed the leg in his teeth he pulled out letting out a whimper and biting down harder on it putting it back into the socket with a painful gasp.Hearing the way to familiar sound of the joint snapping in place. 

He laid there for a few minutes, panting loudly on the floor trying to get control of his breathing. Turning his head, and yanking out the stick, luckily it wasn't in the worst spot so it was just going to be another painful spot on top of the many he already had. 

Looking forward at the water that he fell into he saw that it all was just water. looking up he saw barbed wire… Shifting his eyes back to the water that still had a reddish tint where he fell that was slowly fading out. Going down the ramp and sniffing the water, deciding to risk it and drink it. 

Taking a long moment to compose himself, taking another look at the water's depth, which was way too deep for even his griffen form to touch the ground. Seeing nothing around other than the large pool of water which he couldn't tell the real size of since it went around a corner…Meaning it was either a short little thing…or could be a long endurance test. 

He looked at his paws trying to decide if waiting or just going was better.

.

.

.

Fuck it. Sitting here and waiting won't get me anywhere and I don't feel like letting Nezu think I died or something if he got the same death hallway.

He had a thought when he mentioned Nezu but shook it off. The rat was more skilled than him, he will be fine.

Walking down the ramp he pushed off causing the joint to pop again, he groaned at the now sore pain…but it was bearable. 

Slowly doggy paddling down the hall using the corner to push forward into an even larger hallway… It looked to be 4 or more clearings long. The only thing he could do was swim while his body screamed in protest, his fur hitting open wounds as he moved. 

Bubbles came slowly from under the water in some places looking down he noticed holes…

Deciding to avoid the bubble columns he continued on moving slower than before so as to not swim over those bubbles.

They all started small and grew into larger bubbles popping on the surface smelling like nothing special. Continuing on through the water that seemed to get deeper by how the bubbles slowed even more. This forced him to dig his claws into the wall and watch for the pops before continuing. 

Seeing a clear path he went for it, pushing off the wall and swimming only a little more. His muscles protested more at the thought of moving, any more than they already have.

If I live though this and get the Fuck out of here I am Training myself…

The bubbles were faster in this area but he didn't give a shit. Getting to the ramp after the painfully long swim, looking up at the door then back to the hallway. His eyes widened at the sight of giant sticks now poking out of every hole. He passed the sticks that went straight into ceiling holes that matched perfectly. 

He decided taking a small break was a smart idea…

It was just for a bit.  

Nezu ran into the room having to dig his claws into the ground to not fall straight into the water that laid below. Staying on all fours he looked around not seeing much other than the bubbles that came from the ground and the fact that there was a turn in this hallway.

Sniffing the air of the room he luckily smelt nothing at least concerning just his own blood and the water. He sat down looking at the arrow deciding it was more of a liability inside of his skin then outside of it.

Taking hold of the arrow he grit his teeth and pulled it out holding back his whimper, going to the water and using it to clean the wounds to a minor extent. The water looked quite clean by the fact there weren't water marks on the walls and also there were natural water filter grates also on those walls.

So he wasn't worried about the wounds getting infected by using the water, also the fact that this place probably didn't want one of their experiments dying of an infection. So he cleaned off the arrow that he pulled out of himself, deciding to use it to test what those bubble columns did. 

Looking down into the water he noticed the hole. He had a few guesses to what would happen but he wanted to confirm it.

A wooden Spike Shot up and out, breaking the arrow in half and going into the ceiling and just staying there…

Getting sucked on one of those was a death sentence. From how many he could see around, he guessed he got the shorter track. 

Why else would they put just so many of them? 

Well other than being sadistic…

Deciding to cut off his train of thought he climbed up to the top platform zone and tried to dig his claws into the wall. His claws did dig into the wall but not enough for him to confidently try climbing it.

Going back down to the water that he knew was freezing. He stepped into it letting his body get used to it before starting to swim avoiding the bubbles like the plague.

Turning the corner he saw that the pool was much larger then he originally predicted going to one of the walls and holding onto it scanning the new hallway again…Noting how near the end the bubbles were slower for a while then picked up correlation with the large drop after that point of the pool. 

Pushing off of the wall he continued to swim down the long pool.

The bubbles started to speed up right at the end like he saw before.

Getting his paws onto the ramp he looked back seeing the wooden spikes all up. Walking through the door looking to the other side of the room he saw a door and saw a green fluff laying on the ground walking over to the furball he noticed just how drenched Midori was and taking a full cat nap right at the end of the last room being half inside and outside of the room.

Peeking inside he confirmed his guess about his room being smaller. 

Getting back on topic he put his paw in front of Midori's snout to wake the pup up.

Midori woke up slowly smelling Nezu and hearing a quiet chitter sound, cracking his eyes open he saw Nezu sitting right in front of him. He stood shaking off the water watching Nezu copy and walk into the next room. Which was furnished with a couch, a book shelf and other objects like pots around. Jumping onto the couch with Nezu taking note of the fact that there really wasn't a timer or anything that hinted at them needing to move swiftly. So he continued to lay down with Nezu.

Just them both taking a large second to relax while they were not in danger taking note of what the white weasel told him was a camera on each corner of the room but it was better to be watched then dead…

They both scanned the room staying on the couch then a speaker crackled to life.

“1120, and 1189 do the escape room or you won't be fed.”

Nezu was glaring hard at the camera while he himself growled at the damn thing.

The speaker was still on and Scarface could be heard in the background “Leave it, they will be punished later.”

Then the speaker went dead with a small crackle and pop.

He looked to the other who made eye contact and sighed, the muzzle seeming to still be biting into the skin. Looking closer at the weasel he noticed that they were crabling their arm, peaking around he saw the small hole in his shoulder similar to the one he was sporting.

“Pointy Stick?” Nezu gave a nod as a response and pointed to his leg.

“Spikey ball thing” the rat accepted the answer, both of them just sitting in comfortable silence, really the only sound being both their breathing, just continuing to inspect the room.

They spent longer than was definitely necessary just sitting there… If that was to piss off their captures no one else needed to know. 

Getting to his paws he jumped down hearing some of his bones crack and protested to the moment still wanting to stay on the couch. Nezu started to move right after him. Midori started to inspect the wounds he and Nezu had. Luckily neither of them were too bad but the weasel's shoulder was a bit concerning. Though the one in question was moving it fine at most it looked a bit stiff, maybe a bit forced even. 

The rat still acted like the wound wasn’t a problem and started moving shit around, he wasn't going to call him out on it. Since he wasn't calling him out about his own leg. Scanning the walls again he saw the paints and fireplace against the wall. Walking over and looking up the chimney he saw that it was pitch black and full of smoke that didn't look to be escaping out the top…

Most likely closed then. 

Staring for a bit longer he noticed another gold thing hanging just below the smoke like any sane cat. He held his breath and pushed his back to the, to tiny space’s wall climbing up by using both of the walls to hold himself up. 

Getting half way up he felt his lungs protest for air causing him to drop to the ground covered in ash coughing up a storm that led into a nasty hairball. Looking over to Nezu he noticed that the rodent was messing with a box. He approached noticing how the box had a sliding puzzle kind of like the one he did earlier but much smaller and all visible. 

“Hey Nezu…” The other looked at him.

“There's a gold thing inside the chimney like the one from the arena. I already tried to climb up and grab it but there's smoke at the top. That I really don't want to figure out the consequences of breathing it in.”

Nezu nodded, tilting his head asking a non verbal question. 

 “Have you noticed anything long I could hit it down with?” the other shook his head and Midori sighed.

“I didn't think so but I thought it would be worth a ask” deciding to leave the Golden thing alone for now he saw a deer head above the chimney that looked off, it took him a second to realize why it was off, one of its antlers seemed to be missing.

Looking around again he saw a bookcase, going over to it and doing what every cat before him has done at least once he pushed them all off getting to the 3rd row before one made a clicking sound. Which caught Nezu’s attention he looked at the now stuck out book walking past it to finish pushing the books out.

Nezu seemed to leave him to it, walking over to the couch and jumping on it and climbing up onto it leaning against the wall. Where the painting moved away from its original spot now showing a hidden compartment that was behind it and its contents was a disk. 

He found nothing else with the books even after opening them all with his paws. Looking around the room once again he noticed a painting with books that were all the same color…The same color as the one that opened the painting…

Well I guess that's how we were supposed to do it.

Pretty foolish of them to think a cat wouldn't do what cats do best.

Snapping out of his musings he saw Nezu trying to put that disk into something going over and pushing it into the spot for him since he was slightly taller than the rat on his hind legs. 

It slid into the slot and made a ding noise like the moving around objects puzzle. He went to the couch and slid it away form the wall seeing how it was chained down that wasn't far noticing a hole in the back of the couch he moved back and jumped onto the couch digging into the center of it finding a black box that had a small lock grabbing it he put it in the center of the room. Next to where Nezu had put down some object he found.

The object looked to be a short stick-like thing with a red ball on the back of it. This was next to the now discarded box that Nezu opened. Looking around the room again on the opposite side of the room he saw were the rodent found the box and a desk giving over to it and opening the draws with his jaw he noticed they were mostly empty one had another sick but in another different color so he grabbed it and put it next to the first going back over.

The area was mostly untouched since Nezu was concentrating on the puzzle that the disk reviled he had no clue what the fuck that paper said but it was making the rodent type onto the screen at lightning speeds.

Ignoring the rat in favor of messing with the chair, jumping onto it and letting it spin then stamping his paws down to stop its spinning, he didn't give a shit that it caused his paws to hurt. It was fun. 

Looking at the desk there was a bolted down book with holes in it that reminded him of something… Going back over to them pins he picked them up bringing them back onto the desk looking at the circle kind of shaped symbol. Glazing around the room and his eyes landing on his book mess jumping back down off the chair and checking the covers again.

He already knew every book had no text since he checked most of them. To some extent… He found the book he was looking for, picking it up. It was a brown leather covered book he put onto the table.

“I knew I recognized this shape” he smiled at his discovery looking at a very similar symbol with little colored dots. Nezu came over, dropping a yellow pin down for him and walking off leaving him to it with a key in his paws.

He now had yellow, green, and red picking them up was a challenge with his jaw but he managed putting them into the book hearing a click. Looking closer at the book he noticed how large it was and the fact that the front draw right under it didn't open. He guessed they were connected somehow but he had no way to find out until he opened it.

Jumping down, unable to do much else with it since he still needed blue, purple and white. 

Looking at Nezu opening the black box he had found earlier which had another puzzle in it with symbols he meowed at the other pointing his nose to the corner near the bookshelf seeing the paper with symbols on the side. He sat down looking at both and working on it.

Walking over to where he could see a puzzle that Nezu hadn't messed with yet. It was below the bookshelf painting and next to the white weasels entry door of what he guessed to be his entry door. It had one button on each side and a blinking green dot then a triangle somewhere else on it. It had letters and numbers on both sides; the green dot was on A9 while the red dot was on I1, complete opposites of the board. 

Clicking a button made the green dot move but it wouldn't move from A8 to A7.

Moving it back to its original position moving it over to E9 trying the other 2 directions he found he could move it up one…

This is another Fucking maze???? WHO EVER KEEPS MAKING THESE BETTER BE READY TO BE SCRATCHED. He hissed, lashing his tail out. Nezu noticed right away looking at him for an explanation. “Maze” was all he said to the rat who huffed out in annoyance and went over to the desk with the black box.

Somewhere else a random employee Sneezed. 

He looked back to the puzzle and tried moving the dot again, getting it to go over 3 more times. He was tempted to go down and see if these fuckers would mess with him but looking at the maze it was unlikely that he would need to go down to continue so he went up hitting another stop way to quickly. Trying left did nothing so he went right hitting the border so he went straight up thinking he solved it.

Then…HE HIT ANOTHER FUCKING WALL.

He was at I4 now so he went to the side now landing on G4 he went down one more space then went over all the way to C5.

He went up hitting C4 going over he hit A4 and found he couldn't go up so he went back one. Trying to go up, going up and hitting the roof of the puzzle…Trying to make a straight shot to the red dot he was stopped at F1.

“I think FU would have been better” he hissed out. 

Going down to F3 he went to the side into a clear dead end going back then up to F2 he went into I2.

Then FINALLY He got to the red dot making a ding and dropping a pin down the white one. 

Picking it up he went to the book noticing Nezu had the blue one put in and the opened black box sat discarded on the desk. He put his pin in and looked around the room not seeing much else other than a few decorations so he did what any good cat would do and went to destroy shit. 

Nezu had a head start on him since he was breaking vases open to see their contents. He went up to what looked like an urn he promptly smacked it off, dust fell out onto the already messy ground since it was full of fireplace ashes and probably a dead body’s ashes now.

Somewhere else someone yelled “MY DEAD GRANDMA, BOSS WHY?”

Digging through the ashes was unrewarding to put it lightly, looking around the room he noticed Nezu on top of the bookcase looking down and scanning the room.

He started to walk over tripping on the rug, getting a small rug burn on his snout and letting out a whine looking up as Nezu came down seeing just how tired the weasel was. By a closer inspection he also noticed how unfit Nezu was.

He couldn't really judge since under his thick coat his ribs could be seen slightly. The weasel walked up to him helping him to his paws looking at the rug grabbing onto it and dragging it into a corner slightly annoyed at the fucking thing. He would have clawed it up if Nezu didn't stomp his paw down to get his attention. 

Looking over he saw that there was a large puzzle on the floor that had two paw spots going over to one of them he pushed the button down and it lit up. Removing his paw caused the light to go back to nothing…

Nezu put his non dominant paw into the thing from what he could tell copying the other the Puzzle snapped a metal bracket on his leg not letting it go Nezu seemed to be in the same situation there were two control sets that they both could reach from there spots. 

Moving the one he could he saw something fall inside the glass box Nezu triggered one of the things causing the item to move onto a conveyor belt. Clicking his one moved another conveyor belt into position he had to click it again to stop the item from falling onto the ground.

He moved it just in time for it to fall onto a conveyor belt that Nezu could control.

.

.

.

.

This game of passing the item around to a spot continued for quite a long time.

.

.

.

.

Finally the box fell into an area making a ding sound and releasing them both with slightly sore paws…Nezu held his shoulder even closer going over to the couch and ripping a pillow creating a makeshift sling out of it. 

Midori grabbed the last pin, the purple one and put it into the book making it swing open. Looking inside of it he saw that there was a deer antler inside of it grabbing it. He jumped onto the chimney and placed it in its spot hearing something clatter to the ground…

Jumping down he looked, seeing the key had fallen…

I GOT FUCKING FULL OF ASH FOR NO REASON???? 

Oh…That's going to cause so many hairballs later…

Shaking out of it he ran and grabbed the golden key, because this had to be what Nezu explained, opened the cage… Still golden thing is kind of fun to say he was snapped out of his musings as Nezu lightly grabbed the key from him and opened the door allowing them to both walk into the room…

When Nezu stepped foot into the next room the smell of sand flooded his senses. Looking around  he noticed all the random things scattered in the room. Walking further in, a stronger  smell of sand came from something beside him, than the rest of the room. 

Midori bumped his nose against something that released a strong and unpleasant smell. He hissed and jumped back.

Nezu looked down at the piece of wood that was exerting the strong smell, there was an engraved note. 

Find the button. 

A button, in all of this. Better start looking. 

He sighed looking at all the rotten wood pieces, rocks,trash bags that were ripped open which spilled out, cans and other stuff that were also scattered around. He turned and picked up a rock with his good arm that was sitting beside him, finding no button under it so he put it down by the door the originally entered form. 

Nezu scarred over to a bag on the other side of the room,opening with no real care and then dropping it when finding nothing. He repeated the same will all the things near where he was, putting them into a pile as he went through. 

After sorting and going through all the items on the back wall which took a painfully long time, he moved to the middle starting with the cans. 

He noticed one of the cans was different from the others, instead of being small, it was larger. Large enough to fit a small button inside of. 

Why in the hell does it smell watery in here?! He lifted his snout up and took a deep breath trying to identify the source of the weird smell. 

Midori followed the smell to a piece of gross looking wood. It had something on it he just couldn’t make out what it said.

He sighed looking around the clustered room. What am I supposed to fucking do smash everything?…Actually that’s not a bad idea. 

Shifting into his giffin form, a slightly smaller one then when he fought the bat thing but this size was more than enough to do some serious damage quite easily.  

Midori grinned, smashing a can under his talon. Betting his wings everything that was light enough flew back hitting the wall with a cacophony of sounds, some of the smaller objects got crushed from their impact landing on the ground. He purred loudly, quite proud of the result. Nezu gave him a look and threw a small tin. 

He grabbed it with his jaw trying to crush it, the thing was slightly too thick for his jaws to fully crush it but it did dent it. Getting an idea he threw it back into the air getting on his rear and spearing it with his talons making a satisfying crunch sound. 

Looking at Nezu who had an annoyed face before he had seen him playing around relax going over to a trash pile and going through it. 

Out of the corner of his eye He spotted a blue can that resumed Cani, not thinking anything of it he trotted over, crouching  down and started ranting at what looked to be the sleeping can, alien thing. 

Nezu even with the muzzle could be heard slightly cackling at something while crushing some glass bottle in the back. 

“Hey Cani” He waited for them to answer but none came.

Midori frowned, Cani should have made a little squeak but still nothing. 

Nezu patted the cat, shaking his head.

He leaned down to get a closer look and realized that it was missing Canis moth-like leaves on the side of their face. I may be going crazy. 

Looking back he noticed Nezu was on the ground quietly chittering with laughter.

Traitor. He gave the weasel thing a glare.

Raising himself from his crouch position and picking it up between his teeth, shaking the not Cani. Letting the soft metal be crushed between his teeth the soft sound of something hitting the walls of the can made his ears perk up in surprise.

He brought the can over to the other.

Nezu quickly ripped the can in half with his sharp claws, reaching inside of it feeling for anything that felt like a button. After prodding for a moment or two he grabbed a round object that was inside the can, pulling it out, he pressed it. 

A loud ding sounded around the room.

Midori dropped the can looking at Nezu “You ready?”

Nezu nodded, walking ahead of him into the door. 

It was an empty room that snapped shut behind them looking around and he saw nothing other than some slots in the floor.

After a few mins of them both poking around the room they both sat down for a few more minutes, both thinking a mile a minute.

BANG…Echoed throughout the room while two guys changed in and they both hopped to their feet. Those slots started to rise, making a blockage to stop them from escaping at least a direct conflict with the two guys with the hoop sticks.

One of them went for Nezu trying to grab him with it, the stick crackled just like Snakes weapon… What was sn- NO TIME TO THINK ABOUT THAT. He jumped over the stick and climbed onto the metal fence jumping over the guy and trying to run some were…There really wasn’t a place to run the side the guys came from was just as closed as their entrance was. 

Turning around darting at the human claws unsheathed and swiping for their legs, noticing how their clothes didn't tear. The Human seemed to grin as he backed up to get as much space as he could, looking up more he noticed just how odd the attire was.

Hearing a quiet squeak of pain he whipped his head over to see Nezu grabbed by the collar and being dangled from.

His attacker didn't wait putting the stick around his neck and a buzz rang out causing him to whimper, spasming slightly then going limp. The only noise in the room after that was heavy breathing and small whimpers.

They were dragged out harshly into a small hallway where they were leashed and he was wrestled onto a muzzle, his being much looser than the others since he still could talk. Being dragged out right in front of Scarface…

The human holding onto his leash though didn't hold it taut it was extremely loosely held as a matter of factly.

“Good” Scarface sounded sickly sweet and eyed them appraisingly.

He couldn't help but to growl which caused the human holding his leash to kick him right in the ribs ripping a pitiful whimper out of him.

“Boys enough with that” The monster waved his hand and the guy stopped instantly. 

“Their punishment is no healing quirks and starvation” an ice glare was sent at them.

“Make sure they don’t get infected boys, only heal wounds completely if you believe they will kill them.”

“Am I understood?” The guys nodded.

Midori took his chance to make good on that promise. He lunged forward for Scarface's exposed leg leaving a large claw mark getting him rewarded with a small hiss of pain and him being pulled back hassly then slammed into the ground. 

So Fucking worth it.

“Leave it Boys” The guy that looked ready to cut into Midori put the knife away…

When the fuck did that guy pull that out…

Scarface got low right into his face making him hiss out and bristle “We will start training next week.” 

Something about the way Scarface said it made him shrink into himself…Letting out a low growl.

“Also Clean them both up,they smell disgusting.”

After about 30 mins of being cleaned and bandaged they both were thrown into the cage hitting the wall hard and slumping to the ground with the metal of the muzzles clanging against the wall. They both were too exhausted so they both just curled up in the nest to deal with the shitty world tomorrow.

Chapter Text

Midori was awoken by the door creaking, leaning into Nezu’s paw that was scratching behind his ear. After a long minute of silence he reluctantly opened his eyes a sliver just to see 3 awkward dumbasses to walk in. 

I can’t deal with these fucking humans bullshit this, damn early in the morning. 

“Sorry to come knocking this early fealas.” 

“Not like we had a choice” Snake snarked at Leaf.

“Please don't start fighting you two.”

“Fineeeee” Snake drew out the word sounding like a small kit.

Leaf just glared at the other then dropped it at Swirls light smack to the back of their head.

Midori grumbled, feeling Nezu snickering from atop of him, sadly stopping the scratches. 

Swirls grumbled out under his breath “I already had to deal with you both last night and the Fucking rug thing.”

Leaf gave him a look then focused back onto them.

Swirls approached the cage, pulling out a thin pointy thing from a case that Midori hadn't even noticed the human was at all holding. It looked like something from the medical wing.

“Soooo Tadashi, you were a vet before right?” Snake flopped down while Leaf went over to the wall and sat down.

“Yes I was, that's why I am giving the shot, so it's not more painful than it needs to be.”  he looked at them grabbing out a metal silver thing kind of like the gold ones from before.

Nezu seems to perk up at the sight of it by the way he feels the other shift from atop him. It also seemed that the other was clearly avoiding looking at the thing Swirl was holding.

Midori let out a low growl as Swirl stepped forward, seeing the man look almost exasperated. Though Swirl did not truly acknowledge the growl and just continued to advance towards them both. 

“Don't make this harder than it needs to be 1120.” the rings in their eyes flashed in warning of their  quirk.

Midori bunched up getting to his paws causing Nezu to have to land on his feet moving slightly closer to Leaf.

“Haruka mind grabbing me a towel…I am going to try that first.” Swirl looked back while putting the thing in a holder.

Snake threw a towel right at Swirls face getting the middle finger shot at them then turning to the cage. Which was opened in the blink of the eye and the towel was tossed onto him.

Writhing from under the towel did nothing as he was grabbed lightly he could feel the human put the towel under him, quickly wrapping it around his body completely leaving only his head and rear exposed. 

There was a prick on his hind leg, then pain flared out from the location. He yowled, unsheathing his claws and attempting to swipe out blindly but he could really only kick.

Well until Swirls put him on the ground inside of the prison and pinned his legs, Snake rushed in snapping god knows what at Leaf causing the guy to sit there and watch Nezu.

The pain sputtered out after what was maybe just a minute or two leaving his leg with only a small throbbing ache that blended in with the others. Now that he could sort of think he felt Swirl rubbing the spot slightly, which was oddly helping.  

“See it wasnt that bad, now was it 1120.” he looked at him then shot a look at Snake.

“Sorry about that I can hold him while you check it” she was holding her hands out trying to placate something. 

“Just shut up and hold him” Swirls shifted over so Snake could dart next to him holding up his little prison.

Swirls moved the towel off of his rear legs and seemed to be inspecting the leg that had gotten dislocated. “Fucking dumbass fake vets” he seemed to grab onto his limb rudding circles while slowly pushing it forward causing a small snap to echo out…

It eased the small what seemed to be constant pain that the spot emitted…

Those Orange eyes seemed to inspect him over by removing the bandages and replacing them in a way that didn't limit his movement so much. 

“This is the exact reason you need surtain degrees to be a vet other wise you do things that could fuck up a animals life forever.” 

“So you're saying the medical wing is full of idiots?” Swirl nodded.

Leaf was drawing inside a small book Nezu approached leaning forward while he was released from the towel. Both of the humans opened the door using a leg to stop him from charging out…

Which he definitely would have but… Still Rude . 

Nezu tapped the side of the wall next to Leaf, getting the man's attention “What do you need Itachi?”

He pointed to his muzzle making the man flush “We aren't allowed to take them off if that's what you're asking.”

The weasel shook his head pointing to the book. Leaf tilted his head opening his mouth to say something but Swirls bumped in “He wants the book to talk.”

“Ooooh yeah that's fine just don't rip it up, it's sort of my entertainment when I sit in here.” the other nodded, holding their paws out getting both the book and pen. 

Midori took this time to look inside the book seeing a doodle of what looks to be him and Nezu sleeping. The rodent though was writing furiously inside of the book.

Snake spoke up “Hey Tadashi do you think you can figure out what Nezu’s cousin is?”

“Probably why you ask?”

“Do you think we would get a reward for that information?”

“No I am not doing that shit also who would believe a washed up small time actor, a construction worker and a fucking vet?”

“But” Snake whined out causing both of them to get into a fight about a bunch of small petty shit. 

Nezu spun the book around showing it to Leaf “So you want a pin or a paper clip?” Nezu nodded.

“Were all those big words really needed?” the weasel gave a grin causing blood to drip from the muzzled area.

The man seemed to wince and sigh “Sure…” standing up walking past both of the bickering adults.

Going over to the desk and grabbing a pin or paper clip to Nezu who wrote in the book again.

“Your welcome” the other let a small smile out, sighing and smacking both of the others.

“I thought you told us to not fight Hypocrite.” Leaf eyed Swirl.

“Well I don't fight about every stupid thing in the world, like you both” he rolled his eyes.

“You can’t tell me the verbal spats aren't fun though.” Snake’s grin stretched out.

“What the fuck is are luck” Swirl dryly commented. 

Leaf laughed a bit and while sounding amused said “We have luck?” 

“If we do then it's fucking miniscule”

“Haruka, did you just use a science word without hurling?”  Swirl leaned forward into the other's face.

“Shut the fuck up”

Red eyes sat down again “I mean this isn't even the first time we've gotten into a situation like this.”

“That's an understatement, is this the 5th time?” Snake flopped down laying over Leafs legs looking at Midori and Nezu.

“First time we have been forced to live together though.” Swirl said then they just sat there for a long moment.

.

.

.

.

.

“We should really stop playing hooky shouldn't we?” Snake spoke up.

“Yeah probably” Leaf stood, causing Snake to roll right off his legs and onto the floor face up. 

Swirl just nodded and they all started to get up to leave. Leaf took the book and pen from Nezu smiling at something on the page showing it back at the two of them.

“Thanks for the drawing though its cute” Nezus tail swayed slightly as the door creaked open.

Honestly he's never seen the weasel this excited.

“Is there something I am missing?” he spoke, grimacing at the muzzle's texture. 

Nezu pointed at the pin or paper clip thing, then he pointed to the lock of their cage. Cani just seemed to materialize out of god knows where at this moment also.

Landing right on top of the weasel's head with the little chirping sounds. 

Midori hates to admit it but Cani’s slightly freaky at times with the fact that the small creature seems to be able to track them anywhere they go. He would have to compare it to a pigeon's ability to find home or a tracker of some kind.

After the weasel finally realized that his pointing was doing jack shit to explain he walked over to the litter boxes side the same one they wrote the plan inside of…

Wait…I AM FUCKING IDOIT we needed a pin or a paper clip to escape.  

He couldn't help himself. He full out smiled not caring that the muzzle slightly bit into his jaw. 

Cani was also informed of the plans to escape because yes there were at least 6 of them. Seeming to squeak out a question with no real words causing the others to nod, making the little creature run right into the wall disappearing to do their one task. 

That was sort of the only benefit of the little guy's tracking and abilities; he was like an invisible homing pigeon that would always find you. 

Midori tried to shift to try and give Nezu a better stepping stool finding out he couldn't… 

“Shit that's what that was” the other eyed him.

“Can't transform…” 

The other nodded still trying to reach the lock by standing on a diangle bar Midori pitied the guy and stood there letting the weasel step onto him to get a better angle. 

They both heard a small click as the door swung open. Nezu jumped off of him, landing on the ground with a small thud. 

Midori creeped without a sound letting his tail sway behind him walking right up to the door listening for any movement…Not hearing anything other than the sounds from the animals in the other room.

Who were really fucking loud…He didnt blame them but god. 

He nodded at Nezu who looked over, giving another affirmative nod as they waited for the que.

                                                                                                                                   
Cani scuttled through the long metal halls, easily finding his way to the room he needed.

To finally help the other two. 

When he saw the place that he put the small blue mark on. He stopped melting right through the hall falling onto the floor below. Cani happily squeaked at his accomplishment of getting into the room. Then he remender what the whole point of being here was. Looking around he spotted the box on the wall that should hold what the mouse wanted him to do. 

Cani climbed up the wall to the box. He Melted though, what he found on the other side was odd. There were stringy things that were colorful.  

Can I eat it? 

Cani walled forward blinking owlishly at the strings trying to decide if he should or not. Eventually he was done waiting. 

Turns out… yes he can eat the strings. Sure the light went out after he took the first bite but did he care…. No, not one bit, he had a new snack. It did burn though, he wondered why that was. 

The lights cut off as the whole building erupted in activity, hearing foot falls everywhere. They opened the door starting to weave through the stampede dodging as many feet as they could. Getting closer to where the air smelled less like sterile bandages, death, and blood. 

Or whatever the fuck those smells are… 

The stampede of people started to thin out but the lights were still off so they started to creep down the hall continuing down…

Looking at the numbers showed these were in the negatives? At least that's his guess from what Nezu told him of math…

Now that he thought of it the numbers were never logical. The B3 number was 700 but there was nothing else…

Focusing back in at the number seeing  a -53 seeing the numbers jump around quite a bit, what took him out of this odd detail was the flashlight that started to approach. Nezu and him both flattened next to a door hoping that the indent would keep them hidden for just a bit longer…

The light landed onto them. The guy seemed to freeze, seeming to squint trying to see them. Nezu was behind him, meaning that mainly a very dark green coat was seen…

“Who's there?” the man called out even though his light was right on them…

No answer, they didn't dare make a sound.

The guy seemed to get freaked out and ran off taking his flashlight with him.

Getting to their paws they started to creep quite a bit quicker down the hallway getting to door -67 before everything changed again.

The lights flashed back on…

They ran the moment this happened going down the hall as fast as their paws would take them and the speakers started crackling to life.

“Faulty wire boys. We are rebooting everything now. Head back to your stations.”

They ignored it, continuing to run down seeing how they were getting into -130 doors wasn't a good sign for them. 

The fact this fucking place seemed to just keep going…

Getting to the stairs they slid down the rails jumping over a guard that started to ring something through their walkie- talkie.

 Not much later the alarm sounded. The vibrations alone would have caused him pain…The hallway was bathed in red flashing lights.

Hearing another famular speaker he tuned in about half of what Scarface said “HALLWAY _____ TEST SUBJECT ____ AND 1120 ___ ESCAPING___ THEM NOW  __  ___ ALL ARE DEAD.”

Starting to hear a horde of footfalls behind them with flying darts with quirks getting shot down at you is a damn good motivator to keep fucking running. 

Feeling something hit his shoulder he staggered looking back just quick enough to avoid a massive net grabbing Nezu’s scruff and pulling him forward.

He threw the weasel forward who took the opportunity to dart forward only being a few cat lengths ahead of Midori. 

So he got to see live when a small dart hit Nezu right in the back, still running forward… He tried to keep a eye other the other not knowing what the fuck that dart did…It didnt take long to find out since Nezus muscles looked as they all locked up. Seeming to cause the rodent to have a seizure scruffing the other again he dragged them forward the other was a bit smaller than him over all.

Getting an idea he tossed the other over onto his back pushing harder while holding the others paw to not let them fall…

Hearing the ground crack behind him he jumped at the wall digging into it then landing back onto the ground just avoiding the ground shift into a crystal like substance…It still stabbed his paws causing a whimper to escape…

Letting his instincts and nose lead him he got to a door that had a symbol on it bursting inside he dropped Nezu and clicked the lock on the thing. He got lucky with it being one a cat could use. 

The humans pounded on the door then they started to yell and curse at each other…

It looked to be an office. There was a name tag on the table and looking up he saw a skylight that was open…

There were tall bookshelves and other objects lining all the walls all the way up to that skylight… 

He breathed in. think what would Nezu do here. He breathed out looking down at his unconscious friend then back up to try and think his eyes drifting back to the damn skylight... 

Thats the best bet isn’t it…Fuck this is going to be a bitch to get into.

Going to the desk he grabed the name tag and hit off anything that looked breakable.

Was it petty…Yes…did he give a shit…No.

The fact that Scarface's scent was everywhere fueled this he guessed. The loud BANG, on the door seeing something that looked like a black sharp stick fly across the room got his furry ass moving again. 

Taking the name tag that he hooked around Nezu’s collar he grabbed his friend starting to jump dragging the smaller one up onto him.

He was knocking down so much shit as he got to the top of the book shelf having to jump across the gap to get onto the other floating bookshelf. 

Taking a wiggle he kicked off dragging Nezu with him crashing inside the shelf feeling the limp body fall he dug his claws in dragging the other up taking a panting breath.

This jump caused at least 3 things to shatter on the ground and the weasel's arm now had a clear wound from how hard he had to hold the other…

Shifting him onto his back again, continuing up the odd spiral that adorned the room having to do at least 2 more large jumps…

The worst jump was this one…it was a thick painting with a smallish over light to continue he had to jump onto it then onto another painting while trying to not drop Nezu…

 He held onto the arm stepping back kicking a vase off the shelf taking a long second for it to shatter on the ground…

\./

\./

\./

\./

\ . /

_ . _

Jumping as the vase finally shattered, landing onto the lighting hearing it creek under his weight and the door banging started to sound like wood protesting. 

Landing onto the painting which seemed to shake under his weight he jumped onto a shelf right under the skylight that seemed to have nothing but spiders and dust on it. 

Holding Nezu as gently as he could he started to swing the rodent letting there body’s momentum get him onto the roof. They were hanging a bit precariously but he was confident the other wouldn't fall.  

A loud CRACK sounded, the large door hitting the ground and the horde started to flood in looking around the room frantically. 

“Whyed you make this door so fucking strong ‘Sir’?! Like what the hell.” 

Midori jumped up, getting his upper half out the window. Onto the wet and slippery roof digging his claws into it pulling his rear up seeing a dart fly right past his tail landing on the roof…

Dragging Nezu away from the edge he looked around, seeing that it was slightly damp and the sun had set already.

Quickly or a quickly as he could as a cat, Midori grabbed Nezu’s scruff and dragged him over to the edge.

Looking down he gulped.

How am I supposed to get down? Let alone get Nezu down, safely at that. I cant see jackshit and am a cat.

Hearing the yelling and stampiding feet he said fuck it holding on tighter seeing a roof that was maybe like 4 feet down and 5 feet over… He took a running start jumping for it rolling to protect the other from the devastating  fall rolling getting onto his paws he saw a street lamp.

Running right at it he saw that there was a phone booth and he jumped onto it. It was a father drop but only like a foot over so it wasn't as much of a challenge. 

Getting down on the street he booked it not caring that he was running over car territory. Slipping into the maze of alleys not recognizing any of the scents from the area…

He may not remember shit but smells aren't something I need to fully know.  

Midori found a goodish smelling ally so he decided that he could stop if only for a minute or two.

Dropping Nexu next to a box, inspecting the other, noticing the bruises, scratches and the teeth marks that dragging him around gave him…

He winced at all of them, adorning their coat...They also looked like a brown weasel rat thing…

Forgive me Nezu…Later for this shit. 

He settled down curling around Nezu’s still unconscious body. Panting looking around noticing how this alley was a dead end which was either a good thing or an extremely bad thing.

Well that mattered on how pessimistic he was feeling. 

A sound came from down the alley whipping his head over he saw a lanky human enter. They were shortish with purple hair from what he could see from the dim street light and his night vision. 

“Hey there.” floaty hair kneeled down to there level, with a hand out. 

Midori brissled hissing removing his claws the dumb muzzle and that quirk stoping shit were the only things keeping him from hurting this fucking human. That was attempting to approach. 

Getting back onto his paws standing over Nezu, the human removed something out facing it away from them and a light came from it.

The light slowly shifted onto them, the human eyes widening more at the sight of the blood and Nezu “Oh…shit… taking it slow then…” 

The human was watching them both like how prey would watch a predator that is stalking them…Seeming to remove something from their back he hissed louder removing his claws and swiping at the object not connecting. 

“It's alright, just want to help.” The floaty hair guy pulled out a towel making Midori try and grab onto Nezu and run. 

No this shit again 

Attempting to run got him a face full of towel getting grabbed and wrapped then the human opened their back putting Midori's angry self into it like some latch to keep the towel in place.

It was annoyingly working. 

Then the human grabbed onto Nezu very carefully, seeming to try and not jostle the weasel. 

When I get out I swear to god you will pay, not as much as Scarface but still you will pay.

He hissed and spat as the human just walked with a very angry cat and a very passed out weasel.  

Chapter Text

Shifting the struggling cat into a better position, Shinso picked up the large white looking mouse rat thing. 

Why is the cat still screeching… Usually they just growl after a while.  And what is this other animal? A rat,mouse?.....

He sighed. You know what, that's a later Hitoshi problem. 

Walking up to the decrepitated large apartment complex, Hitoshi went to the side of it looking up at the fire escape then back down to the creature he was holding. Sighing he shifted the bag off of his back looking at the clearly scowling cat. Moving the angry cat burrito to the side he lightly put the creature in trying to not make the wounds worse, at least the ones he could see in the dim moon lighting . 

Sliding the bag onto his back he went over to the latter and started his ascension… Do I still have those bolt cutters up there? Getting to the first ledge he dusted his hands off, grabbing onto the next ladder starting to climb up…

Hopefully I do otherwise this will be much harder to deal with.

Getting up to the 3rd floor windows he started to shimmy across the ledge, the cat staying deathly still…

He was thankful for that since even with his better than average balance that would be quite the challenge. 

Slipping into his open window with the still quite loud cat he noticed that Mrs.Iwata or Mrs.I-water peeked in the room.

“Another cat?” he nodded and she fucked off right after.

Sliding his bag off, he placed it onto the ground. Hitoshi walked over to the dresser on the other side of the room, rummaging through the few drawers he had. 

Come on where are you…..aha there you are. He grabbed the small handheld bolt cutters that he had tucked behind a shirt that was covered in cats. 

When Hitoshi turned back towards the bag seeing that the very angry cat had knocked the bag over, getting their little burrito prison out of the bag. Hitoshi scurried over, scooping up the angry burrito, pinning their body in between his arm and side with their muzzled snout on his lap. Bringing the bolt cutter to the lock. 

The muzzle clattered to the ground. Hitoshi had to adjust the towel to make sure it was still secure. Quickly he did a small inspection of the area finding only minor laceration wounds. Moving the angry jaws at least a foot away from him he set the toweled cat into the medium sized kennel. That he had found on that beach full of trash.

Going over to his door he flicked the lights on. Looking to the bag with the still unconscious one he picked the creature up and onto his bed. Taking the bolt cutters out he lightly moved the creature's head to get a better angle on the lock.

Snipping it letting the lock fall onto the bed taking a look at the muzzle itself he noticed that it still had another lock he also looked at the collar that rested on its neck.

Shit.

He sighed, accepting his fate grabbing the muzzle gently pulling it back. The thing was stuck to the poor thing's skin. Removing the muzzle allowed the wounds to sluggishly bleed; he stopped his removal of the muzzle and went over to the closet. 

Grabbing the med kit he started to set it up on his space themes sheet. That was already covered in blood, what's a little more. Looking back at the muzzle he started to remove it again, grabbing the isotopic alcohol and a cotton ball. Starting to apply it to clean the slightly infected wound. 

It took way too long to pull that cursed muzzle off. 

I fucking hate assholes that do this…

Picking up the bandages along with some gel applying it to the deep lacerations.Wrapping the bandages around the area. Moving the bolt cutters to the collar cutting the thing off.

Then picking the creature up trying to ignore the still growling cat he brought the thing into the bathroom. Grabbing a rag dousing it in warm water and starting to clean the gunk and blood off the body.

Midori struggled to get out of his bind. Why is this thing so damn tight? After lots of struggling it came just loose enough for him to slip out. 

Shaking himself off ,he hissed at the human as they closed the door while holding Nezu. Pacing the cage, dragging his paws against the ground letting his tail lash out. Making his annoyance and discomfort very known. 

Why the fuck did this happen again? !  

It was quiet very quiet something he wasn't fully used to which didn't help with how fucking bored he was all ready.  There was no Leaf to bully internally there definitely weren't Swirls and Snake to pick a fight with the other. Who would've thought he would give any flying shits about them 3 dumbasses. 

He sat with a heavy thump, bringing a paw up and unsheathing his claws admiring them. 

Sharp. No wonder Leaf’s eye was gone, if what they said really happened.

Midori shook his head, letting his ears flop. Let's not think of that right now, I've got to find a way out. 

He let his eyes wander and scan the room, trying to find a way out. 

Removing the clearly rushed bandages off the creature as he went by the end of it the sink was a different color and so was the creature…

He needed a better name for it.

Seeing the now whitish cream color of the rat? It's a rat now.  

Picking the rat up and bringing it back into his room, noticing Mrs.I-water using her minor water control quirk to spread around the mop water. Slipping back into his room he put down the rat grabbing the bandages and isotopic alcohol cleaning the other wounds, noticing the clear stab-like wound. That adorned the shoulder.

Need stitches and these Fuckers didnt even put one in.

Picking up the curved needle then threading the string through it…

It's sad how good he is at it. 

I'm glad you're unconscious for this little one. 

.

.

.

.

.

He breathed out once he finished getting the rat fully set up looking back at the cat who was now laying down and glaring at him.

“Oh don't give me that look.” the cat huffed and glared even harder. 

Going over to the closet he grabbed his old futon and laid it down in an empty spot on the floor. He cleaned up the mess that was all over the place moving the medical supplies over to the futon.

“Please don't be a pain in the ass.”

They shake their head letting out a faint meow. 

Well shit the cat can understand me…Not sure what to think of that.

Standing up and grabbing the extra blanket he had laying around. Opening the cage and covering the cat that started to show him there full wraith. Moving the beast over to the futon and laying lightly on top of it grabbing the bolt cutters and cutting the collar off. Creating an instant reaction…The cat just freezed like it was under his quirk…

Getting off the cat didn't change this fact he even moved over to the door to close and lock it…

“See how painless that was.” 

An ear flick was the only response he got…

“Will you let me clean those wounds?”

The cat growled but didn't move much, only shifting away a little.

“Didn't think so, that's a tomorrow Shinso problem.” The cat gave him a puzzled look. 

The sun peeked through the closed curtains, Hitoshi groned. Shit I did it again. Coffee here I come. The cat was giving him an even more confused look as he left.

Coming back with a can of wet food putting it down close to the door while seeming to prepare to leave. “Just stay in here, I have to head back to my hell school.” 

Hearing a click and a lock that was all. Leaving him alone with Nezu and what smelled like food.

Chapter Text

Kaminari had literally stumbled upon the beach. He had been going on an afternoon walking, taking a turn he slipped on what he could guess was a can and fell forward. Falling on his ass, while rolling down the stairs. Hitting into a pile of trash.  

A loud groan of metal could be heard from behind him, someone yelling from the stairs “WATCH OUT KID!” 

Diving out of the way as the pile of trash clattered to the ground his eyes drifted up meeting sunken blue with a large outstretched hand…

Taking the said hand he got a better look while speaking “Yeah i'm fine, just a little clumsy”

It was someone more on the older side with a lanky almost skeletal build. With long blond hair that honestly reminded him of a rabbit or something similar. The guy was sporting a small smile 

“You okay kid?”

“Yep” 

Kaminari wiped the sand off of himself, letting his eyes shift up and taking a proper look around. Trash was piled as far as the eye could see the water was nonexistent, barely any sand peaked through in the places that the sand did. It looks as if they were carved out, most likely by homeless people or villains… The normal scent that accompanied the ocean was a faint undertone to the piles of trash and its stench. 

“A Shame isn’t it?” the skeleton, who was now behind him, spoke causing, Kaminari to jump. 

“Huh, the beach?” he was honest to god confused,he turned around to look at him.

 It wasn't a shame it just needed some love…Maybe a lot of love…  

“Yes, just look at this place, it's been overtaken and turned into this dump.” a pitying expression showed on the gant face who was now putting a hand on his shoulder.  He didn't understand his point.

 It was cle- Ohhh Shinny! 

Running over, making the hand on his shoulder to fall away. Being as careful as he could to not get skewered by the trash sticking out of every place.  

“Hey kid, be careful there's quite a few sharp things around here” A shout came from behind him, along with the sound of footsteps that started to follow him into the maze of trash. 

Kaminari picked up the shiny object which happened to be a ring.

What a steal! 

He grinned like a maniac, wiping off the little sand that was sticking to it holding it to the sky. The dusk sky seemed to make the ring's colors glow and shimmer. 

The man was panting, stopping a few feet behind…”What are you kids made of”

“Spite and energy drinks, What about you Mr.Skeleton?”

“Water… also its Yagi and who do you happen to be lightning bolt.”

“Denki”

“What had you running over here anyways?” Yagi came closer…

“This” Kaminari enthusiastically held up the ring.

“You know that's just plastic right?”

“No it's not.” 

“Let me see it then” he passed it over the man tapped on it and pointed to something.

“You see this l-” cough ripped out of the man, blood spewing with.

DID IT GET IN MY MOUTH.

It most definitely did…God damn it old man I don't wanna be a cannibal. 

Yagi pulled out a duck themed handkerchief, wiping the blood away.  

“S-Sir? Are you okay?”

“Yes in quite alright my boy.”

“Whatever you say old man…”

“How old are you kid…”

“Why do you want to know that…”

“I have a detective friend, you're also out quite late…”

“Just want to make sure you're not a missing kid or something similar.”

“I have a fam, if you want I can show you a picture but yeah I was just out on a walk enjoying the sunset, nothing more nothing less.”

“Still, how old are you?”

“Tell me yours first then I just might.”

“47 years old now, will you tell me?”

“13 and a half.”

“You should head home honestly kid”

“You can't control me”

“I never was, just saying a suggestion.”

Kaminari narrowed his eyes. 

“What are you doing out here and following minors at that” the man spluttered, looking like he's about to hack up a lung.

“I was just sitting on the stairs, you sort of fell onto the beach in front of me.”

He shifted from foot to foot…

The man was right, he did kind of fall….

“Fair enough” 

“Any reason for the gloves?”

“Oh! Well I can't really control my quirk, and my parents are also sorta worrywarts.” 

“May I ask what your quirk is then?”

“May I know yours then?”

“Do you just want to do this 20 question style?”

“Sure”

“To answer your previous question I am quirkless” looking down he saw the red shoes with the small Q on them. 

Oh shit the guy got the shoes.

“Eletricity” 

“5 point activation?” 

Shaking his head he shot out another question.

“Favorite color?” 

“Green. Dream career?”

“Heroics, This is honestly kind of funny we just met”

“I have been told that I am a social butterfly.” The older fella smiled again sitting down on a broken fridge that toppled to the ground. 

“That makes the two of us”

He shivered, just now realizing how cold it had gotten while they had been talking. The sun seemed to disappear after taking its final stance. Leaving a inky black above them, the only light that hit the area was from a partially covered beach lamp. 

“It got dark fast,” Kaminari looked up, trying to figure out what kind of stars played in the sky tonight or if he could see them most were blocked from the city lights.

“Indeed, I almost wish we were in the countryside.

“Welp, I better get going, I don't want to keep my folks waiting.”

“Have a good night then”

“See you Yagi?”

He spoke quietly “You can find me here.”

“Okay then, have a good night.”

Blood tastes funny…

Honestly he's never even gotten a bloody nose so he didn't know what he expected.

Who would've thought the first blood I taste is from a stranger.

Kaminari pranced away, stopping at a convenience store to get some water, then scurried the rest of the way home. 

Opening the creaky old broken down door being promptly trampled by his two seven year old siblings. 

“Your back your back Ni-San!” both of them yelled right into his ears. Kaminari shoved them both off, making them laugh and roll onto their backs.

The one downside to electric quirks as a whole…Way too much energy 

“Yes, How are Ma and Pa…” the two rascals continued to laugh “Earth to sidlings, did you hear me?!”

Kohaku stopped cackling looking directly at Kaminari with his electric blue eyes that had a yellow streak through the middle of them. His hair though was blended together with streaks of both yellow and blue. That was wild and curly hadn't  been tamed in a while, most likely Ma’s losing battle of the day. 

Aki on the other hand had mostly yellow eyes that had a blue streak through the middle. Her hair was straight and tangled at the ends, the color of it was solid yellow with streaks of blue randomly around. Ma must have been too tired to even try with her hair today. 

I happen to be the black sheep in a sea of blue, why is that so amusing.

“Oh…Kaminari dear, good your home. Can you occupy them both so I can focus on dinner?” a head popped out from around the corner. 

She had pure curly yellow hair with black eyes and she was carrying massive eye bags. Her clothes looked ragged and slightly charred, probably Aki who did that. 

“Sure Ma I can occupy them. Come on you too, why don't you show me how your town is going.” 

He looked back yelling another question “Is Pa here?”

“He stepped out” echoed a voice that disappeared around the corner.

Letting the little kids drag him forward.

“We added a town called River” Aki chirped out moving from each of her feet, sparking every now and then.  

“No it's called dew,” Kohaku snapped out looking at his sibling.

“Woooahh, why not call it Lake, or Dew River?” the two kids seemed to stop and think about his suggestion. 

“Yea fine” Kohaku caved 

“You alway have the best ideas Ni-San.” Aki beamed up at him.

Good thing you can't hear my thoughts…Cause that was just the first word I thought of.

Entering the next room showed it was just filled with makeshift blocks and twigs. 

“Remind me what your kingdom is called?” 

“AKO” they shouted in unison. Causing him to wince from the noise.

The thing was ginormous, reaching up to the ceiling and looking just as precarious as the trash on the beach.

How in the world did they manage this.

Who are they stealing this stuff from???

Looking around it he saw at least 4 microwaves, which considering their quirks was quite concerning. Scanning the pile more he could pick out things ranging from rocks to what looked to be the neighbor's cat hiding under a wooden coffin. Which was balancing on books seeming to lean one way. 

“What did we say about animals?”

“It came willingly this time!” she shouted, spooking the poor thing.

“Still, what's the rule?”

The boy mumbled something out. “Louder Kohaku.”

“No living things of any kind are allowed in the house unless Ma or Pa bring it in…”

“Correct”

“Mind helping me grab Butters?” 

“Yes”

He sighed accepting his scratched fate…

After lots of hissing and growling from butters he finally got the cat next door. With minimal damage to himself. Stepping into the room he noticed another thing.

“Why is there a decapitated unicorn?” He pointed to the top of a large tower, laying around the stake was what he guessed to be unicorn stuffing strewn about, along with its body parts. Only the head was on the stake…

“Oh that's Uni, she committed a war crime.” Aki said all too innocently, blinking up at him slowly, her hands were behind her back. 

How does she know what a war crime is !!!

At this rate I think my siblings will end the world…

A voice piped up from outside the door “Kids dinners ready” a man with electric blue hair peaked in. He had dull gray eyes that also had the same bags…

“Okay then Pa” he stood up rushing out before his siblings even stood.

When Ma and Pa saw him and his disheveled look they just nodded.

Thanks a lot. Love you too.

They were having curry for dinner, his favorite, the twins seemed to be sparking off every now and then.

“Kids did you forget your gloves?”

“Maaaa we are home though…”

“I don't like them gloves” 

“Honestly I agree with Kohaku the gloves suck…” he half muttered out, getting his two siblings to look at him with stars in their eyes.

“Honey, you know why they are needed, it's either that or quirk suppressors…”

“Fineeeee” 

“Can you grab mine two”

“I am taking my dinner to my room…”

Why cant I just get a fucking quirk counselor then.

“Homework?”

“Yes Pa lots of it”

Worrywarts 

He flopped down in his chair, ripping the gloves off and throwing them onto the ground with a huff.

Keeping my quirk covered so much is why I can't control it. Why are Ma and Pa so studdern… At least I can give a few tips to my siblings. 

Letting the lighting dance around his hand it sparked out almost lighting a paper on fire making him turn it off letting his head thud onto the table. 

His room was cluttered with patterns of all sorts, old car plates lined his walls. Along with darts and some old sport shirts. Looking over at his fathers gifts that have turned into a collection it just happens his favorite thing to give are hats.

Wandering his eyes over his desk they fell onto the computer…He honestly wasn't in the mood…

At least I get anything I want within reason. 

A persistent knock came from the door. Reluctantly he got up and opened it. Seeing both of the twins with tear stained faces.

“What happened?” Kaminari kneeled down 

“Pa got made a Ma a-again.”  Kohaku sniffled holding Aki's hand, who had a few tears still running down her face.

“Okay… it's okay, come on in.” 

Shit, guess I wont be getting any alone time. 

Internally he tried to not groan but one ripped out of him as it clicked close behind his siblings. Who flopped on his bed there quirks both sparking up slightly…

“What is it this time?”

“It was about bills i think.”

At least it wasn't quirks again…

“I need you both to ground yourselves” The twins moved to the floor touching it with there pams letting their electricity flow…It was lucky on the mats Ma had gotten for rouge fire, quirks and electricity ones. 

It took them a long moment to calm down and shift over to him.

So he scooped them up, letting them all settle into a cuddle pile on top of his bed.

 Falling asleep…

(Butters)

Day 1 of Green Cat log.

So I got another cat…Along with a rat? I think I decided to call it a rat.
Honestly it's a really pretty cat, shades of green coat its pelt and with elaborate stripes along the back and tail. 

The cat is to say the least is the most feral cat I have even caught. But I got that damn collar off with some basic medical care also So it's a win for me. 

With only a few scratches !

The rat thing though…Still is asleep at least it's not loud…I guesz? 

In faint blue text to the side.
I Put a z in Guess…its staying because pens a pain

Day 2 of Green Cat log.

Day 2 with the feral cat, it went a bit better…cleaning the bandages were much less of a hassle. Miss Iwata was pissed about all the noise from the overly dramatic cat. But I don’t give a shit.

It helped the moment I brought the cat over to my bed, since the little rat thing was sleeping there. Seemed to calm the cat down…Maybe friends? I mean it's happened before just my first time seeing it myself.

If the rat doesn't walk up in a few days I might consider taking them to the vet, just to make sure it's not like, dead. It is still breathing which is a plus.

I hope it doesn't come down to that though…I only got enough extra cash for 3 more vets.

Maybe? I should recount that… 

It was written in a light blue pen ink that seemed to skid and fall out…Signs of a dying pen.

Day 3 of Green Cat log.

Normally on day 3 of having a cat, I would start setting up an adoption page for it but… Something odd, first the cat I am confident now understands me… It's also green…Not the normal cat green either, it's dark and bright green…Honestly I thought it was dyed until I gave the cat a bath…

I need a name for him because the cat is extremely annoying…

Some of the names were crossed out or scribbled over.

Greeni…Why did I write this one?

Miro

Midori…Kinda cute but basic… Sounds more like a nickname

Rock?

Pebble???? If rock didn't work, why would Pebble?

Wave?

Lighting? No, that's shittyer then the others.

Sheep, that would be unfitting

Fighter? 

Feral…ummm

Nightmare 

Kou is a cute name…Not my favorite though…

Yoichi no…

Izuku … now this is perfect, don't know why but it feels like a fitting name. Maybe its the fact that the Kanji reminded him of Dekiru.

The rat thing that I am now calling Snow until I make another list is still out like a light. But its wounds are healing…I will give it another day or two…Before bringing it to the vet.

The ink changed to a red.

Day 4 of Izuku log.

I managed to pet Izuku a small bit Which was an extreme win…Did it take 6 cans of tuna, maybe…

Now I can leave the cat outside of the cage and it won't try to escape my room… Yah Mr Iwata would have skinned him alive if I was any slower… 

He got the message thought to say in my room. 

Snow moved his ear a little, good to know he's not dead.

Now I did some research on how a cat understands me and…quirked animals exist and it's not just a Nezu thing…I guess my 13 year old brain just thought Nezu was the only one…

I wonder if Izuku has one? If so, what is it?

This also creates an issue though…I cant put it up for adoption…The laws on quirked animals are odd at best and down right deadly at worst… So until I can get an email or something back from Nezu I am stuck. 

Now that I think of it…Snow looks like Nezu…Maybe another quirked cat? Is snow a cat?

Maybe a long lost cousin of Nezu????

Day 5 of Izuku log.

Okay I am taking the rat to the vet later today…first I wanna write this…

I have gotten Izuku to approach me willingly and still wont take touch that isn't extremely rewarding… But its progress.

Finally I had a moment to take out the trash which was stuffed with bandages, and the damn collars and muzzles.

When feeding lunch Izuku I only got a shortish hiss mainly because I backed off right away but not too bad.

He is also very food protective of what i've seen but considering how thin these two are I can’t blame him. 

No response from Nezu…I really hope this doesn't mess up my chance to get into UA…I don’t think it would but…You never know…

The Iwatas are already a pain in the ass about this…I don't need more trouble…

Honestly though if I could get the license I would keep Izuku, from the little peeks of personality I am seeing this is a cat that I would like. 

I still want to know about where they came from to get all those scars 

It's concerning from all the research I conducted to figure out this Green cat thing…

A small paw mark was on the paper text written around it.

Well Izuku just knocked all my shit off my table… Love the personality and wish it wasn't aimed at me right now. I did find the old cat toys and put them out since Izuku will definitely be staying longer than most, of the cats he has had…Which means I have to contact the shelter to tell them that I can't take in any cats right now. 

Allowing them to take the cats off my hands…Which they are happy to do either way but I prefer taking care of the street fellas myself. 

I am bringing Snow to the vet now…Since this is becoming a ramble.  

Hitoshi stood letting his chair spin back…Hearing a groan from the side, Snow just made a noise…

Chapter Text

Yagi stepped off the sandy beach and onto the sidewalk strolling down watching a rare car fly by. 

Who will I get One For All to anyway? Afo is dead… So there won't be a risk…

A sneeze was heard from the deepest part of the underground.

I know Sir Night-Eye was looking at one of the first years…

Passing down this quirk is what I want to do…Just no clue who.

It doesn't matter I got time anyways…Who cares if this wound limits it. \

He shook his head, trying to dispel those thoughts along with trying not to walk right into traffic… Again…

Turning around the corner he saw his run down apartment complex. It looked like something a druggie would live in…But it was better than being easy to find right? 

Stepping into the building he gave a nod to the guard and starting up the hell stairs…Why are these rickety? Oh yeah shit maintenance. 

Finally getting to his door he opened it to his very small apartment.

Stepping inside was a brutal reminder just how small it was and lonely. He didn't even have to walk ten steps to get to the kitchen from the entryway, those steps were essentially a death trap from how much random stuff was cluttered around. 

Now he was too exhausted to even try and make something that he could even stomach going over to his room and flopping down on his lumpy bed.

Yagi stared at the rancid wall, the TV had been broken for as long as he could remember…He just never had the motivation to fix it. 

RRRIINNGGGG

He blinked, reaching out to grab the offending object, accepting the call without even glancing at the caller ID. 

“Toshinori Yagi, who is this?”

“It's me.”Sasaki's voice made a pit appear in his stomach removing any hunger he might have had.

“Hello Sasaki I didn't expect you to call” He rolled over to not agitate his wound anymore…

“Well it was urgent, I think I have found a worthy holder of, you know what.”

“Please, can you drop this…”

“This is a private line anyways…It wouldn't matter” he smacked his hand onto his forehead dragging it down.

“Yagi, plea-”

He cut him off, almost hissing at him “I can find my own successor, I don't need your help.” 

Yagi hangs up on him, putting the phone away and turning on silence mode, tossing it to the side. 

Why won't he just drop it… So what if I die?

He rolls up and goes to sleep taking his mind off of the day as a nagging feeling begins.

Case #1

Waking up today just felt off like something was missing but still there? He honestly wasn't sure how to describe it or even a clue to what it could be. 

Exiting the bedroom Yagi glanced at the kitchen contemplating if eating was worth it or even if he had time too. 

Deciding he didn't have an appetite he took his suitcase outside and started walking down the road…to some random outdoor bathroom or at least a semi hidden place. To transform and change.

Walking into the mall he headed straight for the bathroom getting a few looks.

Yagi looked at himself in the small bathroom, trying to use his fingers to create a smile, his “winning” one.

You got this, fake it till you make it.

Transforming and quickly changing he slipped out being surprisingly good at sneaking for a 7 foot tall man…

“OH, OH, OH! LOOK MOM IT'S ALL MIGHT!!!!” Was the first thing he was met with when stepping out of the small giving the kid his smile…

“All Might where?!”

Great. Time to move.

He crouched and jumped leaving a gust of wind in his wake. 

Going from rooftop to rooftop he watched below seeing people stop to stare at him which has caused him to have to save gawkers before. It didn't take long to find a villain which was disappointing to say the least. 

The villain had knives sticking out of every visible piece of skin reminding him of a porcupine.

No direct punches then… Even though I really want to.

“No one moves or this man gets it” He was holding a scrawny fella that seemed to be secreting some substance from his mouth.  

He yelled “I AM HERE” this spooked the villain enough to let the guy go who took the chance and fecking ran.

The villain's eyes locked onto him making more blades acting like a spooked cat with how they moved.

“An actual hero, must be my unlucky day.” 

Why is it either the strong guys out or idiots? Can I just have a normal Joe for once.

“Drop your Quirk” He bellowed hoping the guy would just stand out.

Looking around he saw just how crowded this zone was…Some minor hero was moving civilians away luckily. He's going to give that guy a raise for this no matter his agency.

The villain stepped forward, seeming ready to charge…

Lovely.

Spikey mic spikey Fucking ran right at him quirk activated. 

“I'm not going down without a fight!”

Stepping back away from the unpracticed wide swing that almost took the guy off of his own feet. Trying to do a light-ish wind flick to the back of him which knocked him forward into a roll breaking off a few blades on the ground…Luckily not becoming shrapnel.

The dude looked baffled on the ground, his quirk deactivated allowing Yagi to just slip some cuffs and pick the guy up like a kitten. 

“Woooo All Might for the win!!” the crowd roared 

The Police finally got there as the crowd was yelling, starting to disperse them out and taking the stabby villain. One police officer looked apologetic, which he should be considering the fact it took them all over 10 mins to get here when the closest station was 4 mins away. 

Yagi managed to get out of there before the media came 

Case #2

Second day is day off he's just sitting there looking at a case file

Today he decided to do paper work since yesterday was full of strange petty crimes, nothing major which was a good thing but…It meant he had more odd cases to deal with…

He happened to be working on one of the cases that he was completely procrastinating just because of how ridiculous this sounded.

It was about a group of toddlers somehow robbing a bank which left so many questions. None of their quirks could have helped them. 

Color changing eyes…Was probably the most noticeable the rest were really commonly found quirks. The only reason they knew it was these toddlers was because their faces were seen…

How did they manage to set fire to mostly all the money!? Or kill one of the customers. 

The kicker is even with the video proof they couldn't prosecute 10 toddlers…Even if one was a murder…So this kind of put them in a strange situation. The part that was extra bullshit on the cake was the fact none of the 10 kids' parents care.

Or even seemed to be fazed by the news just exasperated, meaning this was normal behavior.  

Which is abnormal…right now the suspect list of how this happened was 3 quirks from adults that may have influenced the children or they could be insane meaning…They would have to figure out what to do with 10 villain toddlers the HPSC said fuck that though and just put them under watch…

Now Yagi's goal was either A talk the 10 toddlers out of crime or B figure out a plan B… He's honestly trying to figure out a plan B…

The odd feeling still hasn't gone away though which was a distraction… 

It turned his gut into knots deciding this bullshit case would be for later he went to bed after grabbing a small snack…He wasn't dumb enough not to eat 3 days in a room. 

Case #3

Yagi was honestly restless…this week was supposed to be his break week but he decided to go out on the first day…Was that a smart idea? Probably not but he just kind of hated staying inside…

Maybe cleaning would help that? Looking over at his floor which was covered in shit… 

The piles in the corners where donting 

Yah…No he's not doing that…By the time he finishes one room he would lose motivation…

Sitting up on his bed he stared off for a min…getting up and walking around the house to make something to eat…or try to at least.

Opening the fridge, all he had was an expired yogurt. 

Shit I need to go shopping.

Well I got something to do today… Grabbing the yogurt he threw it into his overflowing trash…

Stepping outside he noticed just how different the air felt from inside of his house…deciding not to think on that for too long… He walked down the sidewalk watching students rushing around looking at his phone he now relished he woke up at 3pm…Again…

Just my luck.

What would people even think of the #1 being like this?

Maybe some sick joke. He chuckled under his breath walking into the store. 

Case #4

While sitting on the couch at what probably was 5am knowing his luck. Something hit him, in the figurative sense

That strange feeling was a lot like when he first got One for All… In a slight panic he transformed, closing his eyes…Feeling how the quirk was an echo of itself.

How, how did this happen, where could it have gone. 

Shit… What should I do…

Yagi stood, starting to pace.

Almost tripping over junk that was scattered around the room. 

 I really need to clean. But my top priority now is finding out who has One For All.

What did I even do this week?

A villain…

The Bullshit case…

Shopping…

No way I could have lost it there so when did I lose it?

Why can't i remember 

The only way It can be transferred is with permission right?

Well that's what I was told…It's kind of a mystery? 

He tripped again but couldn't care as his face planted onto the ground laying there and thinking for way too long…Exashing himself out and falling asleep on the ground… 

Case #5

He was sitting in detective Naomasa Tsukauchi’s office to try and solve his mystery… After he passed out which he omitted from his briefing. Not lied just didn’t mention…

“So let me get this straight you somehow lost your quirk

“Yes” he did not make eye contact. 

“When's the last time you remember using it?”

“I can use it just fine…It's just more of a Echo now not quirk”

“Let me rephrase it then, when's the last time you felt it whole?”

“Ummm, about last weekend…..

“What did you do last weekend”

Wasn't that the question of the hour?

“Honestly…I don't remember.” the detective sighed loudly.

“We are going to attempt to stalk you from a week ago on the cameras okay?”

He nodded. What else could he say?

It took a long time for him to get up. The video started early in the day since Yagi was out the entire weekend… It started on his Saturday at fucking 5am…Why was he up at 5am?

“Why were you up, before the sun and before me the one with a shit sleep”

“Do I look like I got a good one?”

“No, no you don't”

“But you should”

I don't need it…

Looking back at the video he seemed to walk around aimlessly for hours…by the time he did anything other than walk it was already 10am… Which was kind of impressive if he could remember why that would be gre-.

“Are you alright man?”

“Hmm Yes Tsukauchi I am quite all right”

The man squinted his eyes which seemed to twitch “My quirk is telling me otherwise”

“Well it's the truth though…”

“You can't lie to a lie directing quirk.”

“Bullshit…” they went back to watching the video. He went into a store and was in there for another 3 hours… it was 1pm…

The rest of the video was him walking back and slipping into the house…

The video had no more of Yagi in it. “What were you even doing?”

“Not sure.”

“How are you not sure?”

“I just don’t remember”

“Fine Sunday now…”

The video started and the first sighting of Yagi was at 4pm…

“What is it with your weird ass time?”

“Well I can't be consistent can I? I Would be to predictable”

“No one would imagine All Might living in a druggie apartment.”

“Safe than sorry”

Going back to watching the video he seemed to walk to the trash beach and stay there for a long time…Until became dark some kid seemed to walk over.

“Ohh my god how could I have forgotten the kid.”

“Did you figure it out?” he seemed to perk up looking hopeful.

“Yes i mat that kid and got some blood on him”

“Don't One for All need permission to transfer though?”

“I don't know anymore”

“I have a guess though…I was thinking about who or even if I should transfer the quirk…”

“That would make sense…It never explicitly said you have to specify who.”

“And if the kid had your blood in his system…”

“Did you get the kids name?”

“Yes actually I did Denki that's all I got though…”

“Last name assume?” 

“Most likely”

“The kid was kind of nervous I guess?”

“I would be too if I saw a walking skeleton on the street.”

He rolled his eyes “can you find the kid?”

“Give me a week”

“Thank you Tsukauchi” 

Case #6

He couldn't wait so the next day went to the beach and sat there…

Playing with the sand a little with his feet, along with picking up some trash…Only if he could do that with his own house.

 Letting it fall into a trash can, letting the leftover sand fall between his fingers. Which was honestly relaxing… If only his non-existent stomach would stop doing flips…

Am I just wasting my time by sitting here?

Probably…It's better than staying at home though. 

Deciding that was enough sitting he stood walking around the junk field seeing at least 3 cats…A few strange objects sticking out of the piles.

What am I doing with my life 

One of the piles had a chair that looked like it was straight out of a prequirk movie…Another pile had…Not even going to say it. Something did catch his eye though a small den that was inside the trash walking over he peeked inside.

A litter of small kittens and a mother where all curled up together 

Another cat ran out right at him with a striking green coat transforming to catch the cat before it mauled him. He was holding a light green mixed cat that looked like a calico tabby thing with green? It was 2 colors that seemed to intertwine with one another. 

“Hello there” he held out a hand for her to sniff.

Looking back at the kittens and the mother they were not normal colors either but none of them were a striking green… The oddest color set was a light pink most of the kittens followed that theme. Of being red-ish to pink-ish. The mother was a bright red…

He honestly didn't know what to do in this situation… It was clear enough these weren't normal cats or someones a sick fuck. So he did the only thing he could think of.

Transforming back and holding the writhing she-cat well he thinks it's a she against him. And calling a phone number…

“Heeey Gang Orca are you busy?” 

“No why?.” 

“Didn't you say you were interested in getting a pet?”

“I did. Why do you bring it up?”

“Well I found a litter of red-ish, pink kits with their mother at the beach…”

“Why did you call me instead of a shelter first?”

“They look quirked…”

“I guess I could take them for now at least, until i find them an owner 

“There's 4 kittens, 1 mom and I have a writhing green one in my hands…”

“I can't take that many cats. I can take the mom and kittens but I can't take the Green one also.”

“So what am I supposed to do with her then?”

“Take her to your mansion or something. There's got to be a hero that will want a green cat.”

“My house isn't the best place for that…”

“I'm sure it's not that bad.”

“It really is though”

“Clean out the bathroom or something until you get the house set up.”

“Don't really have any other choices, do I?”

“Considering the laws around quirked animals, not really.”

Yagi sighed… “Want me to stay here with the cats so you can pick them up?”

“Please do”

“Not an issue, I got a very angry cat to calm down anyway” Yowling could be heard over the phone making Gang orca cringe on the other side.

After about an hour Gang Orca called him again “Where are you?”

“Inside the junk piles” He shifted to his All Might form…

“Oh I see you now”

Gang Orca came over with 3  kennels. “Thought you would need one”

“You have saved my life…” 

Gang Orca moved over to the den he was blocking and picked up the mother cat like it was nothing...

Show off.

Gang Orca laughed at him a bit. “If you don't want her to fight you, hold her butt.”

“What?”

“I am saying support her weight better, look how I am holding his girl.”

He had a hand under the cat's rear to support the weight… Yagi honestly was embarrassed at his lack of animal knowledge…Shifting his hand to mimic seeming to calm the extremely angry cat slightly.

“Just watch me put this one in the kennel before you try” He held the cat over the kennel which is exactly when the cat started to squirm then he dropped the legs lightly letting them hit the bottom before pushing the front in lightly closing it.

I hope I'm doing this right. Yagi really did try to copy what Gang Orca did but it was not working. The moment he moved the green cat yowled.  

Gang Orca went into the den grabbing the kittens and putting them into the kennel. Glancing over at him every now and then looking ready to fall over laughing. Having both of his kennels ready to go… “You may want to bring that cat to the Vet before even thinking of bringing it home.”

“Would that make my life easier or harder?”

“You wouldn't have to put her in the kennel twice.”

“Got it”

It took him way longer than he would like to admit to get the green cat into the kennel. Picking it up and feeling the cat shake the cage…

“What's the closest vet?”

“Amber street” 

“Thank you” ” he jumped knowing this cat would not stay still that long…

Getting to the vet was exhausting in the first place then getting home and cleaning his bathroom as a temporary cat room was another monster entirely… 

He did kind of feel proud for just how clean the room looked. It smelled different from the house also…Which now that he could smell a difference smelled musty… It almost made him gag and it's his house…

Setting up the basic cat starter kit he got he opened the door and let the green beast out, closing the door on the very angry cat…

She was throwing a tantrum to put it lightly…This was oddly enough motivation to get him to clean a few other rooms…Cleaning his small kitchen…

The only guess he had to why is since he wasn't the only one living here for now… 

It took hours to clean the kitchen and living room…Leaving just his room… Looking at the bags of trash he had he debated if he should call it for today finishing tomorrow…

For some reason that idea didn't sit right with him…Normally it would though…

So he did it. He cleaned the full house…for the first time in over 7 years… God has it really been 7 years?

It was mostly spotless. There was definitely mold that had grown into the walls…along with other things…

How did I let it get that bad?

Maybe he had to move… Considering how much mold he cleaned… I will look into some spots… I may throw away most of my stuff… not like it has value.

Taking a glance at the rotten couch that he was debating throwing out…

Even though it's clean-ish it's probably not a great idea to let the cat out… 

He went to his room and passed out…

Case #7

Getting up was a task but not as much considering the screaming cat…Probably hungry… Going over to the other rooms he stood there for a good minute looking at what he did yesterday. It was still baffling to his brain.. It wasn't perfect long from it ,considering anything semi good was still in a corner but…He could walk through it… 

Going into the Kitchen he grabbed some of the cat food, putting it in the second bowl, walked to the bathroom and opened it. Having to put his foot in front of the door quickly to stop the escape attempt pushing the cat back. Getting into the bathroom after a good 5 min fight putting the food down and stealing the empty bowl. Getting a glare for his effort. 

Walking out of the bathroom quickly allowed him to breath looking up and debate with himself…

Going to sit down on the couch that he was now highly aware of how dirty it was…

He pulled up a news station just barely checking what station it even was. It seemed to be the end of a second with a woman talking.

“-in the hospital for unexplainable injuries, now that will be all for tonight folks if you would like to know more, you can find all the news we cover at HTTP:Quirksfordumbasses. Kembrly singing out.”

This was a channel he's never seen before deciding to poke it a little more. He went to the website checking the article and saw a blond boy with a black stripe in his hair staring right at him… Reading down revealed that it was Denki Kamaniari.

It's him oh my god it's him.  

Shit…I got to get to that hospital don't I?

He stood starting to rush out the door, setting a reminder to feed the cat later. 

Chapter Text

Hitoshi looked over at the bed where snow lay, seeing the rat holding their head and sitting up which looked painful.

Snow seemed to be getting their bearings still by how fluffed up they were along with the clear defensive posture that showed through their closed eyes. 

“That's worse than catnip” it spoke in a raspy tone which made sense for it being knocked out for a week.

Jumping back away from Snow his brain was honestly trying to compute.

He talked?!

After a long moment he gained enough courage to walk over and see if he was alright. He made his presence known as he moved hearing stuffing from behind him he assumed it was Izuku trying to get off the table.  

The cat of the hour meowed loudly, darting past Hitoshi faster than he could react. The green cat jumped up onto the bed, nuzzling against the other. 

“Midori patience, I am still Sobering up from the quirk suppressor.” the rat pushed the cat off getting a drawn out meow for his effort. 

Midori? Quirk suppressor? What is Snow going on about? 

Soon enough two beady black eyes landed on him causing him to flinch. 

“Who might you be, Young one?” Snow shifted to face him lightly petting Midori or Izuku?

“Umm” Hitoshi glanced between the two animals, “Shinso Hitoshi”

 After a nod he shot out a statement “Your name. I've just been calling you Snow, and Midori. If that's the green cat I have just been calling him Izuku.” He snapped his jaw shut after that…

Great going Hitoshi meeting something that can talk your first thing is that. 

“Yes, I am Nezu, principal of UA” he spoke happily even though he looked dead not even 30 mins ago. 

Hitoshi mentally recoiled and Nezu seemed to not stop though.  

“Now I have just called this one here Midoiri as a nickname so you calling him Izuku is fine.”

“O- okay”

Principle of UA
His brain just kept looping back…

“Are you okay pup?”

He nodded looking at them.

“Lastly, do you have a way to contact others?”

Hitoshi hesitated pulling out his phone which was a prequirk era phone that was cracked. Looking at it then back to Nezu. “Don't break it more…” 

“I Promise I will not.”

Passing over the phone to the rat who seemed to go right to the calling app…Making a call and talking to someone called Detective Tsukauchi 

His eyes wandered the room not wanting to be caught staring like he was…Soon enough his eyes drifted to the bed and its underneath…Seeing something shiny under it. 

Moving closer he bent down picking up the item and getting accidently smacked by Nezu's tail, getting an awkward smile from the other. 

Izuku looked to be holding back laughter, that chirping sound had to be a laugh what else could it be.  

More odd feather-like things rattled out through his mane. They couldn't be feathers that wouldn't make any sense, but maybe quirked animales are weird.

Picking up the object he saw, it was the name tag that was originally stuck to Sn-Nezu’s collar; he moved away and stood shifting the item in his palm.

Nezu seemed to finish talking to this Detective Fella. Looking at the tag it had ‘Juro’ written onto it honestly it reminded him of a reality TV show one that some big boss would have. 

“YOU FUCKER” Echoed throughout the house.

“Don't you yell at me, I'm not the one who cheated,” a man's voice hallored. 

“Well maybe if you loved me I wouldnt have!” 

“Maybe if you didn't ask for fosters we wouldn't be here Fucker!” Hitoshi was about to tune them out again but he noticed how Nezu froze and stared.

“I dont what to fucking hear it, if you dont like it you can pack your shit up and leave!” The rat's tail flicked and ears pinned back.

Izuku had already heard a few of these scuffles so he only glared at the door.  Seeming to meow something to Nezu causing the rat to tense up more.

“Maybe I will, you'll be all alone and realize just how much you need me, that's what's happened the last ten times!”

Nezu spoke “Is there a way out of the house without going through there?”

“No I wont, get the fuck out of my house NOW” a door slammed, leaving a tense silence downstairs that even they could all feel.  

“The window.”

“Fire escape?”

“If you can walk around the building a bit, yes.” Hitoshi opened the window grabbing Izuku before he jumped out the window like a lunatic.

“No”

Nezu looked exasperated at that reaction “Do you normally bring cats here?” 

That earned both of them a half hearted hiss. 

It was a fair question Nezu was asking “Yes, Izuku is the first one I have kept this long though.”

“I see.”

Holding onto the angry cat he put them into the backpack with only a slight fight seeming to calm down once he opened up the top some more. “Stay”

“...I know you're a hero but…Can you balance…” He tried so hard to not make it sound like a question. But it still did

“Yes, tails are quite useful” Nezu’s eyes held something in them but he couldn't name it. 

“You haven't moved in a week though…” Hitoshi was honestly quite worried about that fact.

“If it eases your worry you may pick me up.” The white rat walked over to him holding his arms up a bit. 

Picking up Nezu and allowing him to hold onto his chest was a bit awkward now with the context but getting onto the ledge and fire escape was easy enough. There really isn't anything in his room anyways so he didn't give a shit if Mr Iwata destroyed it.

The only thing that was semi-valuable was his phone which Nezu was still holding.

Slipping off of the fire escape a gust of chilly wind brushed against them, the sun was still high in the sky, beating down. 

“What now?” he asked the white rat biting his lip at the idea of asking a question.

“Don't worry about your fosters, an associate of mine has an emergency foster license, you can stay with them.” Nezu seemed to not answer his question and just dropped a bomb onto his lovely life.

Somewhere in UA there was a sneeze heard in the principal's office... “Who the fuck is talking about me.”

“Why…”

“Well those fosters don't seem qualified and Midori here doesn't seem to hate you.”

A green head poked out from the bag upon hearing his name, tilting his head in slight confusion. 

“And that's a good reason for this” he couldn't help it he moved his hands out in a wave like motion. 

“Midori there isn't a huge fan of humans, with most being tolerated he seems okay with you”

Izuku nodded in agreement, meowing something to Nezu. 

“He seemed interested in you and was requesting to stay with you sort of.”

The green cat gave a nod and a slight hiss at one part of it, he had suspicion that Nezu scuffed the truth a bit. That ment though that Nezu thought Hitoshi was somehow worthy to take care of Izuku…From what he could tell of how these two interact they were kind of friends or at least close. 

He couldn't help but feel a small bubble of pride at that thought. 

Nezu still held his phone and started to dial another number leaving the conversation they were having on pause. The cat in his bag was shifting, seeming to get antsy so he put the bag down which made Nezu glance back at them. Letting Izuku out of the bag to walk next to them.  

Little paws pranced next to them, well little was used loosely considering Izuku was larger than average for what he assumed was a kitten.

Nezu put the phone up to his ear “Hello Aizawa Shouta could you pick me and two others up?”

There was a long pause, the rat seemed to just be smiling with small swings of his tail. 

“What district are we in?” Looking back right at Hitoshi.

“Hosu.”  The white creature turned around again walking forward; he now noticed that they were heading in the direction of a public park.

“Hosu park.” Nezu spoke into the phone, moving to a bench and sitting.

Izuku dived into a bush not too far away, chirping and happy meowing could be heard.

He must have found something to play with.

“Yes Aizawa, you will get debriefed later in public isn't the best place for this.” Nezu ended the call abruptly after saying that. 

“Do you have the thing you were holding in the apartment?”

“Umm…Yes.” Honestly he forgot about it. He grabbed the name tag out of his pocket and passed it over to the rat.

Who sniffed it which wasnt the oddest part his expression was seeming to be a hard grimace. 

He scanned the thing looking for something “So that's your name.”

“Name of...” 

“Scarface” that, cleared nothing up.

 Hissing came from the bushes, then a green blur flopped onto the ground seeming royal pissed. Getting up and walking over to check showed why the cat was so pissed getting a small chuckle out of him. Some brambles got into his fur.

Even after removing them Izuku seemed to still be a little bit pissed.

Picking up the cat and walking back over to Nezu a dreaded question was popped at him.

“Are questions part of your quirk? You seem to avoid them and make a face when you must ask.”

“Brainwashing”

“Such a powerful quirk, it's a shame people would discriminate against it.” 

“W-what?”

“It's quite an amazing quirk.”

“Thank you…” silence was all that was left until a car pulled up. 

The bench Scene Was the background a bitch Yes also this took 2 hours.

Chapter Text

Inside the core of a pitch black void, full of colors and stringing cracks of power.  

“This idiot is giving his name to a random kid that, for all he knows, could be a villain.” 

A taller man with light pinkish colored hair snarked.

“He couldn't possibly be a villain, look at him, he's so…”

The white haired male did the odd hand gesture that most consider a you know, brain blank.

“...But I'm sure it's fine.” 

“I hope he doesn't consider this kid, since he is so young…” 

A long black haired lady who was considerably taller than most of the group spoke.

“What if he was older?” 

A bald man spoke looking at the taller lady.

She responded after a long moment with a so and so hand gesture. 

“He doesn't seem like a bad kid” 

Another man rolled his eyes but he was standing oddly fair away from the others.

“Doesn't mean he's a good fit.” 

The man with Beige leaning more to whitish commented, seeming to catch a few others' attention.

“So you speak?” the bald man teased getting a half hearted glare back.

“Yes Banjo, being a social recluse doesn't make me mute.”

“Come on Hikage, just call me Daigoro. We have known each other for like 100 years already.”

No comment came from the Hikage seeming done with the others' antics. 

“Expressly if my brother is still alive, no one that young should have to face him.” 

The white haired one spoke again bringing the conversation back to the original topic. 

“Is All for Onestill be alive.” a more quiet voice spoke seeming to slink away getting right out of view of the god damn narrator???

“We don't know, 8th never checked for a body, or even for a supposed body.”  The original man spoke up again.

“I agree with 2nd on this one until we get a confirmed body. He's alive” a pale blue haired man said, sitting down in one of the 7 chairs.

“Just use names like normal people” Banjo sat down with a heavy flop in one of the chairs that shifted into a beanbag. 

“No” both men spoke at the same time.

“God I hope we don't become like that” Banjo looked at them like they kicked a puppy.

“Considering they've been together for 200 years it may happen” Hikage spoke again, seeming to walk over to an empty part of the void and starting to practice some fighting moves. 

“What year is it? anyways” The white haired man stopped staring at his hands.

“Yoshi, he looked at the calendar this morning,” the bald man said, seeming to clap at every important word. 

“There's quite a few things in Yagi's room…” the lady looked away.

“Where d-”

Someone started to speak but stopped and they all stared out at the boy who now has blood on his face from the man coughing…

“This. Fucking. Idiot.”

“I mean it needs consent right? Soooo what's the problem?”

“I found Yagi in a dumpster as a teenager, who got my blood ingested by mistake.“

“Oh…Shit”

“Well we got a 9th holder…” they all looked over to the ghostly light of 8th that seemed to flick in and out seeming to become more solid…It was just waiting for the ghost to inhabit it. 

“So what's the bet on what 9th will be?” Banjo pulled out a board from god knows where. 

“Nothing can beat Shinomori’s sock” Yoshi grinned seeming to enjoy the idea of a bet.  

“What were 2nds and 3rds forms?” The lady spoke.

“Well let me tell you Nana “ Yoshi grinned, seeming to cause one of the other two to pale. 

“Don't you dare Yoshi”

“I do dare Bruce or 3rd” the man grinned wickedly, having to dodge the other one coming for him.

He was oddly flexible for a guy that looked like he lived in the hospital. 

“2nd was a blood-hound which made sense.” Having to jump over another attempted grab that seemed to get faster.

“No quirks 3rd” Yelped the man as he was pinned.

“Say Nothing then”

“3RD WAS A LIVING DOG PLUSHY .”

3rd groaned, getting off the other man who looked overly pleased.

“The worst part is I died too early, meaning I was stuck in that insufferable form.”

“Can we transform into those have any of us tried? I mean, 8th was his buff form in his fresh spirit form…” A quiet voice said he had black hair and most of his face was covered by a ridiculously long shirt collar. That could rival Best Jeanist. 

This caused everyone to go silent and debate it for a long second or maybe a min. Time in the void is funky. 

“Good question En…” someone no one could tell who broke the silence like glass.

“We are testing that later , now bets.” Yoshi took over the game by snatching the board from Banjo, getting an offended gasp.

“He could always just be a ball of light.” Nana looked out the screen at the kid. 

“Kid would probably be an excited puppy.” second scoffed. 

“OH, come on, not everyone got to be a puppy, so I will say a fish.” 5th got stared at for at least a minute. 

“Crow.” En piped up getting a confused look.

“A crow?” 

“Crows like shiny things.”

“They do? Have I been dead for so long that basic animal facts are.” Yoishi held his head in his hands. 

“Magpies have the same trait.” Nana looked at the other.

Yoshi blinked at that “anymore?”

“Mouse” someone said simply.

“3rd, I really don't see it.” 

2nd spoke out looking at 3rd with a raised eyebrow. A groan could be heard from the side which could only be 5th everyone paid him no mind. 

“His behavior at the beginning, didn’t you notice it?”

“Yes but I would call that more of a rat's behavior…So why a mouse?”

“The kid isn't a villain that's clear enough, so what's like a rat but not a rat, a mouse.” he sat down on the floor after explaining his logic.

“Shinomori you got a bet?” Yoshi egged on.

The man stopped his practice looking at Yoshi dead in the eyes.

“A ball.” 

The world shifted and turned, undulating opinion itself merging closer and farther away from itself. The void glowed in an array of colors and sounds. The cracks moved like strings looking, searching for their next victim to add to the collection. 

The void ripped open allowing a flood of gold to pour in, shutting out their view of the outside world forcing them to stand on their platform that morphed. Nothing, not even them could hold there from turning into light then appearing again the void seemed uneasy still.

It was still settling but it had found its victim's core wrapping its string like cracks around it.

Seeming to link into it feeding power into and out of it the void opened above them again to cores so wrapped in the cracks that they looked like one mass.

It seemed to pull the new core up slowly but surely… 

A rabbit emerged from the ascending core, its fur was a dull yellow. The eyes on the rabbit were closer to his hair color being a neon yellow over the more amber color his human counterpart had. The markings ranged with the feet to legs, ears, and tail being a dull black, with a marking striking down the back not reaching the tail. The rabbit's eyes were highlighted even more due to the stripe that went over each and over the snout.

 The long ears swiveled, body curling into himself and staring up. A surprisingly long tail seemed  to shift curling under the small rabbit.  

All the vestiges just stared at the rabbit, which only seemed to accomplish one thing making the poor thing more tense. 

“Welp guess no one got it. He is a rabbit.” 2nd spoke pointing to the rabbit that froze. 

“Why are his ears and tail at that matter, is that normal?”

“Nothing is normal here.” Yoishi looked at the 

He pointed up to make his point the core was still rising to join the others more cracks creeped down to grasp the thing. Not letting it escape.

“Are we sure the quirk isn't alive itself?”

“No clue” Yoshi shrugged “Does it really matter? At this point” No reply came.

Looking back at the rabbit makes it flinch.

“Lets see what this 9th is doing” Nana snapped her fingers moving them all even the rabbit onto a giant couch that showed what the boy was seeing. 

The window opened showing the same view the kid saw the rabbit and the soulless husk seeming to just kinda sit there while everyone else got comfortable. Yoshi, Kudo and Bruce were all in a cuddle puddle which surprised no one basically 200 years with someone you get close. 

En and Shinomori were sitting next to each other. En was considerably shorter than the other and enjoyed the taller man's company. From what could be made out of his expression.

Banjo and Nana were both draped across the couch with Nana being behind the rabbit and Yagi's husk. While Banjo was half laying on both En and Hikage. Seeming that they had their own group with one extrovert friend adopting the two introverted friends. 

After taking one last glance at the rabbit they all focused on the screen. 

Denki was dragged into a decently sized rome by two small kids. Towers were stacked everywhere, with all sorts of things striking out of it. one tower almost reached the ceiling, how that was possible no one knows. 

Makeshift toys littered the ground, some looked to have rust on them. A cat poked its head out from behind the smaller tower, tilting its head in confusion. 

The kid said something under his breath that not even the vestiges could hear. 

Denki seemed to slowly walk forward towards the cat trying not to disturb the precarious tower of random shit. The cat darted jumping onto the bed of one of the siblings knocking down some of the more loose things from higher inside of the tower. 

That was the moment 9th said fuck that and just dove for the cat grabing it while trying to hold up the falling tower with his foot. It was not working, lucky it was the smaller of the 2 towers and it was mostly hidden behind the original larger tower, the one with the coffin. Meaning lucky for him no coffins were falling on him today. 

Someone in the void looked ready to comment but the thing started to crash down onto the boy forcing the kid to close his eyes and push the cat under him. The cat who was still writhing but luckily not clawing the poor kid…yet. 

The thing fell completely onto the kid seeming relatively fine from how the kid just sat up holding the cat that still struggled. The gloves made the kids' life way harder than it really had to be. 

Finally getting the cat and himself out of the room the mother was cooking something ignoring the general chaos.  

Walking out the door earned him a few scratches since he had to almost rip the cat from clinging to the wall…WHY DID IT WANT TO STAY???

 After another 5 mins the cat was returned to a lady who opened the door and at least 4 more cats ran out…

No wonder it didn't want to go back. 

Denki walked back into the room seeming to check over everything again; they had rebuilt the other tower and a few other things had changed.

A unicorn was on top of the tallest of the towers. It's just the…body, looking to the left of the headless unicorn was its head…on a stake. Stuffing was scattered around it and even down the tower.

“Why is there a decapitated unicorn?” Denki pointed to the top of a large tower. 

“Oh that's Uni, she committed a war crime.” the small girl said all too innocently, blinking up at the kid slowly, her hands were behind her back. 

“How does she know what a war crime is!” Nana yelled, confused 

“I like this kid give one for all to the kid” 2nd grinned causing Yoshi to smack him lightly.

“No” Groaned the already half asleep Yoshi that seemed to be too invented to fully pass out. 

“Enough of this” the groggy Yoshi spoke.

“UNO time we gotta see if the rabbit can play.”

A set of UNO appears, along with a table and Nine chairs. One was higher than the rest and had an odd holder for the cards.

UNO started and the rabbit learned what the Fuck UNO was.

Chapter Text

He looked up at the purple haired tw-Human fuck still? There was a metal monster that just sat on the black territory. It was a sleek black but nothing stood out about it. 

It was clean, fully black, looked fully healthy and was quietly rumbling.  

Purple stood scooping him up which earned the fucker a thin scratch mark and a hiss. Seeming to walk somewhere with an objective looking to the side he noticed that Nezu was ahead of them. 

Nezu was surprisingly fast for his size which in terms of leg length he was probably only slightly shorter than Izuku himself. Being a large cat had its ups and downs…The bird's bones,though sucked. 

That may be just a him thing though. 

Focusing in he finally realized what they fucking doing.

 WHY ARE WE APPROACHING THE GODDAMN MONSTER?

Shifting as a attempt to escape purples grasp but purple was really good at holding cats I guess because he fucking knew everything he planed to do.

A hiss did nothing to get the point across either. Just earned him a look from Nezu.

“Pup, you're alright.”

“WHY IN THE FLYING FUCK ARE WE APPROCHING THAT THING??” he couldn't help but yowl, seeming to cause another human to step out of the monster and openly stare.

“Hello there Aizawa,” Nezu said all to chipper, ignoring his question.

Fuck you to.  

Openly glaring did nothing as the weasel continued “Meet my acquaintance’s Shinso and Izuku.”

The raven haired man raised an eyebrow, seeming to be all he needed “Izuku is the cat!” while he had to ask again because the damn weasel is sitting inside the monster now. 

“NEZU DON'T ALLOW IT TO EAT YOU AND TAKE YOU AWAY!” trying harder to struggle did nothing. 

That seemed to cause the weasel to chuckle a bit “Pup, It's not going to eat me or you.”

Both of the humans seemed a bit surprised, w ell he couldn't tell on ravens face but he guessed  leaning back was that?

“You sure? Last time one ate me.”

“Do you mean moved?”

“Maybe”

Nezu sighed, waving a paw at purple causing him to walk over and sit on the other side inside of the monster. 

Izuku held onto purple for his dear life, his fur stood on end causing his body to shake slightly he was comfortably placed on the humans lap. One of purple’s hands ran through his fur, which was, really nice feeling but he wished it wasn’t inside of a monster. 

LET MEEE OUTTTTT!!

He gave a pitiful half yowling whine tail lashing, ears pinning back in frustration. Increasing his volume to convey this annoyance. 

“Want to use the carrier in the back, Shinso?”  Tw-Hu-Aizawa said blankly. 

Izuku hissed but did stop his extremely loud yowling which made Nezu stop leaning against the wall. 

No I fucking don’t want a carrier.  

Human looked at him, his green eyes meeting purple eyes, “No, I don't think he wants one.”  The dark haired man tilted his head, not being able to see his face was weird. 

“At least someone gets me.” he glared at Nezu, snapping out the word.

The rat, he doesn't deserve to be called by his name, raised an eyebrow. Wait, he had Eyebrows!? “At least you both get along quite well.”

Wasn’t that a fucking wired statement…That was strange right? Something about that just doesn't feel right???

Is this something to due with the walk to the mini forest?

He was snapped out of his thoughts by the monster moving causing him to tense up again curling more into the human. 

The world was so big, twoleg nests towered over him making Budgie feel smaller than he was. I must find mother. I just have to follow the scent. 

Budgie was lost, hungry and small, so utterly small, being just a kitten happened to include the legs. 

Walking was hard with every step his tummy growled and his legs stumbled, threatening to cave beneath him at any moment. The lingering scent of his mother kept him going, kept him fighting, kept him Alive. 

They had been found in their paradise, it was so warm and safe. Until the things chased all the cats there out, taking the ones that were only weeks old and most of the mothers. 

Being only a moon old made him smaller than the others that had escaped, his mothers green-ish coat was his only way of navigation. She was so much larger than every other cat’s Budgie had seen, that might just be because he had only ever seen kittens his age or the other mothers. 

Keeping up with the group proved harder than expected. Mother had to carry one of the smallest kits so he had to walk with the others. Still his legs were too small to keep up with the larger and healthier kits. Soon he had fallen so far behind all that was left of the group was a faint scent, still he kept running after them desperately. 

No come back. Please. Don't leave me. He meowed weakly, one of his paws caught on something making him stumble falling on his face. 

Budgie laid there for a long while, having no idea where he was or how to get back home. 

The familiar scent made his ears perk up. Staggering to his feet, Budgie sprinted following it, he was blissfully unaware of what was in front of him. 

A bright monster came hurtling towards him. Digging his claws into the hot ground to stop himself. Budgie curled into himself bracing for something Anything to happen.  

Heat blanketed him, it singed the fur on his back a little. Whining Budgie curling up tighter. 

The sounds of yelling and screaming was all he heard, feeling some cat grab his scruff pulling him up and away.

Opening his eyes he saw mothers curse the monster had a feather marking on it and it was floating in the air

Looking up he had found that mother was holding him with her green coat standing out from the gray two-leg nests. 

Why do my eyes sting, who is Budgie?

Nezu spoke which took him out of spinning thoughts.

“Short debrief or long one?”

“Short” the raven haired man spoke plainly.

“Kidnapped by a group doing quirked animal experiments.”

“How?” 

“Hpsc meeting went south.”

“Fuckers.”

“I quite agree.”

“Got what I assume to be the heads name tag here.”

The plastic object was tossed up being caught by the raven man and looked at for a moment being put down on the seat. 

“That's a Hpsc official's name.”

“I thought so.”

The raven man grabbed something from under the seat and threw right at Nezu causing the weasel to fall onto his back. Making a loud squeak like sound in protest while trying to fight the offending object.

It took him a moment to get out of it.

“I am aware that you're an animal but put on this jacket. At least.” The Raven haired man said plainly as the monster stopped at a red blinking firefly thing. 

Nezu blinked for a second, seeming to be chuckling at the others' antics and slipped into the object that was trapping him before. He has lost his fucking mind. 

It looked like one of the human second skins, if he remembered right there called clothes but he couldn't really give a shit to try and remember their name.  

The thing covered most of Nezu's body even the branding mark that's what the weasel called it at least seemed pretty pissed about it too. He looked honestly comfortable in the oversized thing but he wasn't going to try it. Also purple’s continued stroking of his fur was quite nice. 

“What's the deal with the kid and cat?” raven spoke looking into the solid water. 

“There your new fosters!”

Everyone in the car looked either confused or horrified in one way or another. The monster shrieked to a halt on a side area. 

“What.” Raven whipped around glaring at Nezu who didn't seem to give a shit or believed he was stronger. 

This lasted long enough for him to look up and see purples face which seemed contemplative for a moment then shifted to surprise. Which bordered on gitty.

“Are you Eraserhead?” purple spoke sounding hopeful.

“Not many people know that hero's name…Where did you hear it?”

“You put away one of my fosters.”

The man nodded “You are correct with your guess.”

He looked ready to jump out of his seat well if you consider a large smile and slight foot taping jumping out of your seat. 

“I Know undergrounds rarely have fans but I happen to be one.”

“What made you a fan of an underground hero over a daylight one?”

“My quirk” he seemed to trail off.

The man raised an eyebrow, seeming to wait for a continuation of that statement. 

“Brainwashing…”

“That's a very powerful quirk kid.”

“It's more of a villainous one.” was whispered out. 

“Quirks are tools not definers.”

Purple went quite seeming to mull over the statement.  

“May I be dropped off at UA?” Nezu piped up as purple thought over the statement.

Raven gave him a very clear look.

“Will you willingly go to Recovery Girl?” 

“Nope” was the very, cheery response he gave. 

“Pick Vet or Recovery Girl.”

“Veet?” he tilted his head looking at Nezu for an explanation.

“Hospitals for animals” was all he said which answered fuck all for him . 

Nezu and Ravens eyes stayed locked on each other; they both wore the same faces…Neither changed for the entire stare off… 

Until something shattered the tension.

“Vet…Recovery Girl would skin me.”

“Good Choice” the monster started its rumble again, beginning to move.

The monster stopped and raven stepped out of the thing, opening the mouth on the side Nezu was on.

“Stay here.” YOOOOOOOOOWWWWWLLLLLLLLL could be heard from behind him… 

Nezu hopped out almost tripping over the massive thing he was wearing. 

Once the mouth closed again and they left the only sounds left were the yelling or screaming of other animals and their breathing. 

Escaping from Purple's lap he put his paws onto the solid air. He saw at least 4 other animals right away, one dog that was pulling on his neck rope in a way that probably was choking him. 

The amount of writhing cages were 2… One clearly a cat from the yowling.

Only one of the animals was acting semi sane; it was an older smaller dog that was walking to the building, seeming overall fine with this. So he didn't know if he should transform and save Nezus dumbass or just wait… 

Lucky for him Purple made the choice by picking him up lightly and putting him next to him. 

Lightly stroking his coat and rudded under his chin, seeming to turn around to look in the back of the monster grabbing his bag that he threw back there…

Grabbing out the prison he hissed but purple lightly put it over him but not tightly or restricting… In any way it would be more comforting if he wasn't stressed out of his mind… 

“I want to go back to the HOUSEEEE” one of the many animals scream.

Causing his ears to pin back. “Izuku, you're fine…”

After a long moment he calmed down…The petting the blanket thing and the quiet words every now and then were oddly effective.   

Raven opened the monster's front side “He will be retrieved later.” 

The monster rumbled, jerking to life. 

“The rat will have the paperwork for both of you fast tracked after his appointment…” 

The rest of this ride was in complete as comfortable silence as it could be with 3 basically strangers in a car together. 

Chapter Text

The monster stopped completely going silent. Raven stepped out of the Side mouth and started to walk around.

Izuku pressed his face to the hard water thing, trying to see where they were.

There was a very tall twoleg nest… He really should of fucking asked what they were called.

It looked fancy kind of like Scarface's odd room did but this was fancy in a different way. It was a sleek grey. It blended in perfectly with the other buildings but it still was different somehow? It looked I guess stronger.

“This place is huge.” purple seemed, mesmerized 

Honestly Izuku had to agree it was fucking massive even for a twoleg nest. Raven opened the mouth next to them and Purple held him against himself right before he fell out of the monster. 

“Yes it is, but let's not talk about it here or now.” Raven waved over another human.  

“Okay.” Purple responded standing with him which was slightly awkward since Izuku wasn't a small cat.

Raven raised an eyebrow and Purple shook his head. They started to walk into the nest.

There was a human staring at them as they walked in giving a small nod to Raven who in turn nodded back. They continued to a moving box that started to rise. Purple held him closer.

For fucks sake.

The box kept rising, Purple and him were in the corner while Raven just stood there.

“Warning, my husband is quite loud.”

“Okay then…” Purple put his face right into his fur. 

Which wasn't bad but he would prefer less stress not more.

He stepped out of the box allowing them to follow him to a door that smelt strange to put it lightly. Once it was opened it smelt like candles…Which was odd enough.

As they walked deeper into the house the smell of candles drifted away, but was relapsed with the smell of something that smells fantastic. Izuku's ears perked up with interest. 

Raven looked exasperated “Hizashi left the damn stove on…Again.”

The man walked into the place that smells like starclan and turned something, causing a firefly to die out grabbing the food and putting it onto the table. “Take what you want” the man walked off to a room on the side.

Purple put him down grabbing some of the food and putting it on a small plate for him. After inhaling that delicious food he looked around and everything was bathed in a warm light. The room itself was large; he could see at least 4 doors, not including the one that started to go into one of the 2 hallways. The walls were a darker neutral color similar to the floor; it all felt plain over all; most of the color came from the amount of random bean bags and nests scattered around. 

It overall was a warm feeling Purple was quietly eating some of the food. Raven pulled a loud cockatoo sounding human out of a room that seemed covered in yellow and black squares. 

His fucking name is Cockatoo.

“HEY SHO why you dra-” the Cockatoo human shut their mouth and full out stared.

For that offence he should transform and kick his ass but he won’t, is that because they are the most interesting humans to human watch. Maybe. 

“Sho, why is there a purple child and a green cat in are apartment.”

“Nezu.”

The Cockatoo human nodded “Understandable, So hello little listeners who are you?”

“Izuku” Purple pointed to him.

“Shinso Hitoshi.” 

“Yamada Hizashi.”

“Since you're Living with us…Aizawa Shota.”

“NOW TH-” he was cut off by 2 bright red eyes. “-at we know names, why don’t we chat for a while.” Cockatoo smiled and sat down at the table.

Izuku had managed to slip away from the humans that loudly chatted and was now exploring Ravens and Cockatoos nest. 

It was a big nest, with lots of empty space to explore. Trotting over to the middle door he lightly pushed on it with his front paws, to his surprise the door swung open with a loud thud against the wall. Landing him right onto his snout. 

Owwww, why is it always my snout?! 

 Pulling himself up he surveyed the room, it was large but also narrowish. When he walked further in, the floor was cold unlike the rest of the nest, looking over there were tall shelves with things on them. 

 Being the curious cat he was Izuku jumped up into the shelf, unsheathing his claws to give himself a better grip but as his claws came in contact with the top of it he slipped back falling on his back with a cry. He felt warm liquid cover his body.

What just happened?

Looking down at the liquid, Izuku tilted his head wondering what it was. Then recognition hit like a train, it was water… fucking great.  A twinge of pain shot down him forcing him to transform into his griffen form, Screeching out in displeasure, trying to jump out of the liquid failed miserably. His back leg got tangled on some of the clothes that got dragged down with him.

It made him slip down back into the water hitting his head on the side of the pool causing him to screech again. 

Purple SLAMMED the door open with Raven and Cockatoo right behind they stared for a moment then Raven's eyes flashed red.

Un-transforming him, Purple ran forward and scooped him up, grabbing a cloth and wrapping it around him. 

“I knew he had a quirk but I didn't expect that…” Purple held him and seemed to rest his body on the cold-ish area with more solid water. That reflected his state.

“No wonder Nezu got us involved” Cockatoo was speaking in a quiet voice. Which he had to thank the loud fuck for because his head was pounding. 

“Great…” Raven sighed loudly. “Am I finally allowed to buy cat shit?” he was looking straight at Cockatoo who groaned.

“Fine you win, we are keeping them both.” Raven grinned widely causing Purple to flinch.

It took them a long moment to get him dry then they walked into a plain looking room that didn't smell like anyone had claimed it. He was placed on what looked to be a makeshift nest.

Purple sat on the taller nest and messed with a glowing box.

For A LOOOONG WHILE.

The sun started to set outside of the solid glass reflecting into the room. He decided enough was enough and stood and walked out. This time the cursed door was closed and hopefully locked. 

His ears perked over to were he heard Cockatoo loudly talking to someone… Getting closer to the door he only heard his voice not another. Walking back into the starclan smelling room he jumped onto the smooth table looking around noticing how a butch of things looked to have been moved. 

Jumping down and going to the hallway he approached the door that was next to the cursed one that Purple wasn't in. Sniffing it revealed there to be no claim on it. Continuing on into a room that mainly just had the setting sun flowing in and a boy that just flouted there.

He had wispy blue hair and was floating on a cloud that seemed to form from his hands. Izuku could see through the man also who wasn't looking at him staring off at the other hallway side. 

Approaching the boy quietly he smacked the sky haired boy causing him to jump and float up looking down at the now hissing cat.

“Awwww kitty” the boy said, floating down.

“Did Hizashi finally give into Shotas demands for a cat?”

“Stupid humans” he chuckled to himself as the human stopped fawning over him. 

“Holy shit…It's real.”

“Wait…Did you under what the fuck I just said?” Izuku had to check this because a HUMAN understand his demands what the FUCK??

“Yes?” the human did some hand motions falling off the cloud onto his face.

“Sort of Well Its hard to explain.”

“Start talking I got nothing better to do.” He sat down letting his tail flop over his paws.

“Ummm Ever heard of ghosts?”

“Nope.”

“Well I am dead?”

“Starclan, but not starclan got it.”

“The fuck is Starclan?”

“Something clan cats think is where cats go to die or something.” 

“That's horrifying.”

“Let's not speak of the Darkforest then…”

“O-okay then…Well I am dead and I am a ghost”

“How does that explain you talking to me?”

“Well…Animals can see ghosts and talk to us, that's what I was told by the grim reaper when I died.”

“Grim reaper?”

“Thats another Story but the short and long of what he does is tell you what the fuck happened to you and what you can do as a ghost.”

“Why does he tell you what you can do as a ghost?”

The boy shrugs.

“I didn't ask.”

“You should have.” 

The boy rolled his eyes “Oboro you?”

“Izuku”

“Who named you?”

“Purple” the boy just stared at him then flew off in the direction purple was, coming back a few moments later.

“Holy shit, when did they have a kid?”

“A few” he stared outside for a long moment “Sun movements ago.”

.

.

.

“Do you mean hours?”

“I think so?” he tilted his head.

They continued some easy chatter until the ghost had to go check on his body or something?

Chapter Text

Looking down from his dingy apartment he let himself free fall forward letting his wings whip out, catching the wind and lifting him into the sky. 

Hawks clutched onto the case file, making sure none of the irreplaceable papers slipped out into the air. He let his body tilt into a spin letting all the wind whip over him. It was refreshing.

It felt good to be free in the sky again after daaaays of grueling office work. The paperwork had piled up into a mountain over the past 8 weeks that he hadn't done, procrastination for the win…Sadly his handler forced him to sit his ass down and do it. 

Why cant he like any other normal Daylight hero have someone to do paper work for him ASK THE FUCKING COMISSION cause he has no clue.  

Okay concentrate on flying hawks you're in the air. 

He squawked when he finally regained his concentration at the window that was fastly approaching. Trying to open his wings to slow his approach, it did nothing to stop his fate. He smacked right into the window sliding down it slightly. Some toddler was looking at him along with a kid that had a bird head that looked to be a raven. 

“This is embarrassing.” Hawks muttered to himself. He quickly put on a smile and waved at the children. 

Some shadowy bird thing smacked his face against the glass startling him enough to fall off of the building and into a dive. Making quite the fast approach to the ground opening his wings up he went rocketing forward pulling up to avoid cars and other objects.

Hawks finally saw his target up ahead; it was a balcony lifting up and slowing his flaps to ready for a landing. Shifting his weight for his feet to land right onto the bar that seemed discolored today?

Normally it was a black grippy material but today it was silver? Maybe she got a new one.

He touched down realizing he fucked up he feet slipped and his wings and arms flew out to the sides to hopefully get him some balance. No luck though he started falling backwards ripping a squawk out of him.

A hand grabbed onto his arm pulling him back onto the balcony white hair and two rabbit ears was all he needed to see.

“Heey Mirko”  he spoke with a giant smile and possibly a red face smacking into glass, dose that.

“Wanna explain your reasoning and why you have a Fucking bloody nose?” he poked his nose making pain shoot through it.

“Oooowww your soo meeean” he teased the other “To answer your questions though” he held the file up shaking it.

She raised an eyebrow tilting her head in letting her ear flop to the side.

The room was lightly lit by a single hanging light, a well organized desk was in the center of the room. The only messy part of the whole room was the walls; they were covered in boards with red strings everywhere. 

“What you got there birdie.” Mirko flicked a finger at the case file still tightly griped in hawks hands. 

“Assumed Quirk Trafficking of humans with animal quirks mutation or other, and animals.” He opened the file on the table.

 “Danm, you got the good stuff. I got a middle school shady shit, something with principal or quirks.”

“Huh can I see your case?” 

“If I can see yours.” 

“Why Else would I bring it here?”

Mirko turns to get the file “ Knowing you the banger KFC we have in the fridge.” 

He squawked looking at her “Can we still have that.”

“Shut it bird brain cases first.” 

“Find…” The file was flopped down in front of him looking at the name. Murder of Aldara Mutations…

“You said I had the good shit.”

“This is clearly just an angry child with an ego.” 

Looking over the case said something different “This looks to be planned for it to be any of the students…”

“I thought so two but it just seems childish, Who kidnaps someone to kill them then leaves by a school without having beef with the school.”

“A power hungry villain, A quirkiest, the list goes on.”

“Hmmm, Good points.”

“The fact that they are all animal related makes me think…”

He shifted his case's murders over; there were only 2 confirmed but this felt similar…Shifting the two images next to each other made it extremely apparent.

“The same wounds…Same Places also…” she said, biting her lip and curses were spoken under her breath.

“Girl were in the same cases, or did you forget.”

“Ha I guess you're right.”

She looked at some of the images and laughed “Hey look at one of the old suspects.”

Bakugo Katsuki 

The photo had a slightly annoyed kid looking away…

Hawks blinked at the photo “He looks like a pomeranian.” 

“No he dont!?” Mirko squinted at the photo, “Well shit, he does.” she was in a state of shock… 

Hawks patted her shoulder, holding back laughter. 

That shock quickly faded, replaced with fiery determination. “Well that's no matter, he still looks like he could use an ass beating.” 

“Then why don't you give him one.” hawks teased, unable to stop a small chirp of a laugh from escaping his lips.

After hawks' laughter faded out, there was a clear moment of silence.

Looking at her face it was half contemplating and half grinning…

“That was a joke…” 

“Bird bitch Joke or not that was a good idea”

“I never have good ideas, you know this. Remember that time i thought I could eat raw chicken?” 

She grabbed his face pulling him close “This was a good idea though”

“We gain an inside view of the school from their top student that is most aggressive.”

“Meaning if he gets caught he has to fight.”

He paused for a moment… It's not like HPSC hasn't done things like that before but this is a bit different…

“Are you at least training him first?”

“Yes, why would I let another Endeavor on the loose.”

“Endeavor’s not that bad.”

Mirko looked him up and down, making him wither.

“Are you really taking a middle schooler under your wing? Tail thing…”

“If his parents allow, Yes i fucking am.”

“If his parents are sane they won’t.”

“I can be convincing”

It was now Hawk’s turn to look her up and down, though she did not wither to his disappointment. 

 “Girl you will either make him more of an angry pomeranian or just a pomeranian without the angry, there is absolutely no in between” Hawks crossed his arms.

She rolls her eyes “let's get back to the case bird brain.”

“Fine Lucky feet…” a small pause happened “if you still want to do this mentor thing I am willing to help After we go over all the case files.”

A hard smack on his side almost toppled him over “ THAT'S THE SPIRIT ”

He sighed accepting his fate to papers again. 

Chapter Text

Izuku was honestly tired of this bullshit already and it was the second day of being here…He was bored out of his mind and there's not much to do. I think Raven said something about getting cat toys over the weekend and Cockatoo looked ready to fall out the window.  

HE FINALLY LEARNED WHAT SOME OF THEM HARD WATERS ARE. 

If that took an annoying cloud for 3 hours, who needs to know? But the ghost is sadly annoyed at him and refuses to come out again…So he's got nothing to do.

Messing with purple was an idea until purple went into the deathroom to take something called a shower… He was locked out and Raven deactivated his curse twice. 

so that was out of the question. 

HEEEYYY LITTLE LISTENERS

Echoed throughout the nest… Damn Cockatoo…

Wait a minute…Cockatoo…

Walking over to the other side of the nest he went over to where he heard the very loud human slipping into the open door seeing the man in a ridiculous get up. Izuku's joke of him being a Cockatoo was a bit more on the nose than he thought. 

Crouching low he stalked closer getting right next to the desk…He then jumped stepping on the strange black thing and causing the man to squawk like a fucking bird. 

“Ummm Little listeners meet Izuku, our fostered, quirked animal…”

The glowing box was moving at lighting speed with what he thinks are words not sure not like he gives a crap either. Using his paw he smacked the box making the words move faster.

Cockatoo seemed to dislike it since he picked him up and put him outside so quickly that Izuku forgot to scratch him…So that idea was out the window…

Window is a fun word to say. Darkforest his ass for all he cares.

Hearing a click across the house he booked it over and it was Purple coming out of the deathroom in a new set of clothes? Nezu called them Clothes right?

Shaking out, he began to loudly scream something like a meow. Causing purple to laugh at him.

“You're the strangest cat I have ever met.”

“I am the Boredest cat, entertain me” He screamed again pawing at the baggy clothes. 

Seeming to get him scooped up. “If I didn't know better I would have assumed you were someone's pet.” 

“I am no Kittypet motherfucker” he batted their nose.

Purple went over to the closed door that he put the treats behind…Grabbing out the bag of them. “Let's try this again since you want attention.” 

The man put one of the treats on the floor and Izuku went for it then it covered up again. “WHHYYYYYYY” he protested loudly at Purple he smiled.

“Step back and stay”

“Oh we are doing this shit again.” he huffed, stepping back and sitting with a thump.

Slowly Purple removed his hand from over the treat the moment Izuku even attempted to move it was covered again.

So he decided accepting his fate to wait was better. Still his paws wanted to stand to pace to anything but purple was waiting and now that he paid attention to purple he was counting?

“4”

“3”

“2”

“1”

“Now you can have it”  he tapped the floor beaconing him over. 

If he ran for it and ran right into purple neither of them said shit. 

Purple held another treat up in his hand. “Izuku stay.” Then he walked over to the other side of the room and started counting again.

“10”

Honestly he turned that shit out and just waited for him to tap the treat spot. Which eventually did happen getting him his second treat of the day. Purple still seemed to want to play this game, repeating it at least 4 more times even putting one right in front of Izuku. 

Which was the hardest one not to go for.

Then the game changed. “Up” He put a treat on the sleeping nest.

This was a new command but he was doing the thing he did with the treats before when he could get some so he went with it. Jumping onto the bed and eating it then he put one on the floor saying “Down.”

So like any sane cat he went for the treat then he stood to the side holding the treat.

“Down” Purple spook after a moment he gave him a treat.

“Up” A long pause happened Purple didn't give him another treat though?

Purple went to the bed and put a treat up there saying “Up” again…Is he supposed to get onto the nest when up is said?

Jumping onto the bed he ate the treat “Up” another treat.

“Down” jumping off of the nest got him a treat.

Oooh this makes sense now. So he gets a treat when he follows the order…Huh. 

After a few more times of that purple brought out a small box it was sadly closed. Then he checked under his nest, seeming pleased with what he found. 

“Under” he threw a treat under the nest…So he went for it then he went over to the box throwing it over. “Over”

Two new words to play with I guess.

“Over bed” That made him halt but he tried jumping over the box but that didn't get him the treat meaning something else was named bed…

Izuku decided to try and figure it out, jumping over items and watching purple to see if he got it. Until he jumped over the nest…Then he was given a treat.

Nest is the bed, got it. 

“Under” so he ran under him which got the boy to laugh getting him two treats.

The trick didn't work twice but he got an extra treat so he was happy. 

At one point Raven came into the room sitting down on the bed and watching, seeming to make purple a bit awkward.

“May I join in on your little game thing?”

“Partly cat training but sure…” he sounded unsure of himself but not upset. 

“What words does he know so far?”

“I taught him today: Up, down, Under, Over and bed.”

“You Haven't tried right or left yet?”

“5 words is normally a lot for a cat to remember.”

“He's a quirked animal, don't forget that.”  

The boy nodded then Raven spoke. “3 treats if you can do this”

That got his attention. 3 treats for one trick sign him up.

“Right Over box, Right out room, Grab Item, then return.”

That was full of new words…He knew Right, out Grab, and over that's about all though but its still worth a shot.

His first attempt was a failure. He got the first steps but Raven's hand was held out like he wanted something…Not knowing what an item is he just grabbed something random on his next attempt getting the treats.

Raven spoke holding the item “Shoe”

He guessed that's what he grabbed but it wasn't called an item? Was Item the same in cat terms as it was in humans because if it was he would feel stupid. 

Honestly he was probably overthinking this one. 

“But I did come in here for a Reason Shinso” that caused the boy to flinch.

“Dinners ready,though it's just take out but it's food.”

“Mic ordered it this morning and he didn't know what you wanted. So he got everything...”

“I…wouldn't have known what I wanted anyways…” Raven raised an eyebrow at the statement.

Honestly Izuku just cared if he was getting fed also. “Never had take out”

“You can fix that now” the man stood and walked out. Purple following right on his heels, Izuku trailed behind because they were his entertainment.

Cockatoo was sitting at the tall thing and when Izuku tried to jump up he was told “Down” So he complied, why he wasn't even sure. But he was happy because he was given a plate of chicken which was delicious.

“We will get cat food along with the toys.” 

Cockatoo loudly spoke “since you lovee cats so much you wouldn't mind setting up jumping platforms?”

“They would need to be reinforced.” was all raven said.

All the humans were seated around the tall thing at this point. Izuku tried to jump up again but was put back on the ground between Raven and Purple, which was stupid, why could they sit at the large thing but not him? He growled, flicking his ears. 

This is SOOOOOOO boring. He rolled over onto his back looking up at them. 

They chatted about random shit, that he didn't give enough shit’s to try and understand. After a long moment purple was on the floor with him using his hand to stroke his head, Izuku huffed accepting his fate.  He wanted to melt into the ground. 

“Squeeeak” Izuku's ears shot up at the familiar sound, all of the chitter chatter around him faded out. 

He rolled over to get a better look seeing something shiny coming through the roof. 

Then 

.

Splash 

.

All hell broke loose.  Izuku jumped up onto the tall thing meowing excitedly. Cani had seemed to have fallen into red liquid that was sticky, grabbing the Can creature out of it he lightly licked some of the sweet tasting stuff off of his friend. 

“CANI!!” He continued to clean off the sticky stuff. 

The can waddled closer getting some of the sweet stuff on his fur which would be a bitch to get out. 

“Izuku get away from the...Living can?” Purple yelped. 

He scowled back scratching at the air after cleaning the can off. He bumped it with his nose happily, you couldn't even see his tail with how fast it was moving. 

“Do you know this thing Izuku?” Raven, he thought, questioned and was probably the one holding the hand out.

“Well obviously you dumb human.” he hissed back, forgetting that humans could not understand him. 

He saw Cockatoo in the corner of the room looking terrified. 

While furry friend was distracted ,Cani looked around with a gleam in his eyes. Spotting what he  wanted hopping over to the metal container with some white stuff in it. Then proceeding to swallow it whole, spitting out the white stuff, becases eww only metal is good

Yummy metal. 

“What the hell…” 

“That's new…” Furry friend looked to the side.  Which was confusing. He'd always been able to do that so why did furry friend think it was new…

Did he not show his furry friend that.

Welp no time like the present. 

“Sooo can we keep it? It doesn't look deadly.”  Shinso asked hopefully

“It just Eat our fucking salt shaker!!!”  Aizawa 

“Free trash dispenser?” 

“No and that's final” a small mutter came from the boy “I think Izuku disagrees.”

The cat in question was glaring. 

“I-is it gone” Mic whimpers from his place in the corner 

“It's not a bug Zashi.”

“Are you sure? It looks bug-like.” 

“I promise you it's not… It's just a can thing more likely a lizard…” 

“Fine but if i get bitten or it crawls on me i'm blaming you.” 

“That's fine.” 

The humans went back to eating, taking some old metal things they were planning to throw away and giving it to the metal loving creature. 

Chapter Text

He stretched letting his tail curl above him and flop down after the damn good stretch. Stepping out of the temporary ne-bed Izuku needs to get better at human terms if he's planning to stay here. 

But does he want to?

He gets fed here and can’t remember enough of his past to say he could survive outside…

So it's not like Purples an ass…well not really.

Confusing sure, an ass, No.

Purples close to being called Shinso or Hitoshi which name do humans use? 

Next he sees the weasel he's going to ask.

Starting to make his way out of the room that Purple seemed to have exited already to head into the hell room by the sound of running water.

Honestly he had no idea why the fuck humans did that.

Why would you willingly go into water that could drown you? 

Wait…Humans are tall…

Will humans not drown in the hell room???

Shaking his head he headed over to the red bowls on the ground which smelt like food…Which was some more of the delicious chicken from yesterday.

After licking that clean he went over to the soft room to see if the ghost was still pissed at him. Who knew a ghost could hold a grudge for 4 days or more. It was surprising due to the fact that from what he has learned of this ghost hes been dead for a while and hes been bored as fuck.

Sadly the ghost seemed pissed still since they were still on the roof. 

“Can you come doooown I am sorry” 

“We both know damn well your not”

“True but I tried”

“I will do one thing since…Being on the roof kinda sucks”

The cloudy ghost floated down “Touch me and I go up again.”

He nodded watching as the ghost went into the other areas which was disappointing.

Going off after the ghost sort of he noticed Raven at one of the tall things doing starclan knows what. Jumping up didn't help him figure it out either; he was looking at something and writing nothing too interesting. 

Purple does that a lot also why, no fucking clue.

Sitting and watching Raven scribble down more stuff black eyes landed onto him. 

“Need something?”

“No”

He was fully aware Raven couldn't understand him but he was interested to see what he would think.

The human sighed, moving their paw up to him and giving him light pets. Which was not the expected outcome but a welcomed one. 

Fuck is he coming a kittypet?

And if this is what kittypets life are like then sign him the fuck up.

Honestly most humans are asses but I can tolerate these guys.

Kinda like I did with the 3 dumbasses but different. 

These ones are more tolerable. 

Once the paw shifted away from him along with Raven going back to the thing he was doing Izuku jumped down to find someone else to mess with or something to do.

And who he found was Cockatoo who was glaring at Cani.

Their attempts to get the little creature out were amusing but they ultimately failed.

What the fuck can you do about a metal eating can thing that can melt through shit?

Nothing. 

That's what. 

So Cani now stays and Cockatoo hasn't gotten over the little guy yet. It was ridiculous but entertaining. 

“Go away” Cockatoo pleaded with the creature who he swears fucking grinned then just munched the handle right infront of the human.

Who basically went to the floor looking up at the can “Why.” 

The can just shook its light tail and walked off.

Then green eyes fell onto him and a paw was raised towards him. It was a bit too fast so he leaned back and landed on his ass.

Seeming to get a chuckle out of the human “Sorry about that.”

After a good glare the human was running there paw through his fur. For a good while he had to smack them a few times to get them to continue. 

“God, I need to call that vet for you.”

“Isn't that the place Nezu went…”

“Aww, don't worry little guy we will get you fixed up either way.”

“That doesn't answer my question, dumbass human.”

“Maybe we can get something for the label scar, along with it…”

“Hmm” the human made a noise then pulled out his little glowy box that he thinks is called a phone.

From how many times Snaked yelled at Leaf for having it out it just made sense. 

“Ah ha” the human paused looking over it “Someone with a quirk for scar reduction, from what I remember about animals, once the scar heals enough fur will grow over it.”

“I should research that more first…”

“Cause I doubt you like them numbers on you.”

“I don't know why I would give a shit about that but sure.”

Cockatoo petted him one more time then stood and walked to another room.

Walking back to where Raven was he saw Purple exit the hell room and into his room sadly closing the door behind him.

But at the same time he was soaked. 

Knock knock

Echoed throughout the quiet room causing Raven to shift and stretch. 

Who slowly walked over to the exit and once it was open he smelt him.

“NEZU” he yelped, running over and right between Raven's legs causing the human to stumble and almost fall. 

Which makes sense hes a pretty large cat considering he knocked Nezu to the ground who was smiling up at him.

“Hello to you to, Midori or would you like me to call you the name Izuku?”

“You can keep calling me Midori but I guess my name's Izuku now?”

“That is quite correct pup, sadly I do have business here and can't play at the moment.”

“Not even chat?”

“Nope.”

After getting up from being cat tackled, Nezu looked around. It was pretty empty over all some bean bags around the place and honestly he's been telling these two they need roommates. Due to how desolate it looks here.

If they don’t start at least cat-ifying the place he's forcing them to get another child. He doesn't give a crap on how. 

Shaking his head and letting his tail dangle behind a bit more. Since everyone in this house is extremely mindful of tails from what he's seen.

After taking a closer look at Shinso he is now confident in his choice. For this 13 year old boy to get the paperwork to own quirked animals.  

Other than heroes requiring to have this paperwork filled out it was quite rare among citizens. 

Like the boy himself. “Would you mind getting Shinso for me, Aizawa?” 

“After we are talking ”

“It will have to wait a bit, I have some paperwork Shinso needs to fill out.”

“What kind of paperwork would a 13 year old need to fill out?”

“The paperwork for owning quirked animals.”

Aizawa paused for a moment looking at Nezu “Why, we can just have Izuku under our legal claim.”

“Well, the boys, quite attached already from what I have seen.”

“And that means he would want to bring him outside.Which, I doubt that you would want to take an extremely excited large cat out on a walk with a young teen.” 

The man looked ready to speak but he had to get this across. “Along with the fact that Izuku has a very strong and volatile quirk, I believe it's better for Shinso to get the training.”

“This would allow Shinso to use the facilities they have for quirked animals.” 

“Which he wouldn't be able to without the license.” That shut the man up completely thinking over it.

“Do we need to sign anything?”

“As his legal guardian, yes”

“Was this document made by you?”

“Also yes”

The man grabbed it lightly from him and signed the shit without reading it “I trust you will go over this with Shinso correct?”

“Your quite right Aizawa”

“I will need Yamada’s signature also.” the man nodded Midori had gone off to do something a min ago finding their human chatter quite boring. 

“He will be informed.” the man turned around to go back to whatever he was doing before Nezu intruded. 

Seeing Shinso step out of his room and stare at him. Doing an awkward wave “Hi.”

“Do you have a moment?” The boy's hair was down, still damp must've taken a shower. 

The purple haired kid nodded walking into his room so he trailed behind.

“Now what do you know of the laws with quirked animals?”

“Not much other than it's legal to sell with the knowledge of it being quirked and you need some licenses to have them.” 

“Both are true.”

“You turned 13 this year?”

“Yep any reason for you to ask.”

“That's the minimum age you must be to get the license.” 

“Also no need to phrase around your quirk.”

“I do not care if you use it on me by mistake, it would be quite interesting considering I am an animal as a matter of fact.” 

“I have never tried it on animals.” which was completely understandable as most animals don't talk or understand humans. 

“At a later date we can try it if you like.”

“Sure.”

“Now back on topic.”

“To have a quirked animal you need to meet 4 requirements.”

“One, someone needs to have The License in the house at least.”  

“Two, you must be 13 or older or with at least 3 people that have the license for those under 13.”

“Three, you can not have any charges on record of any of these categories: animal cruelty, abuse of any type, and child endangerment.”  

“If you did, which you do not, you would need to get a second license along with the first.”

The boy nodded, he was listening good.

“Lastly you must have knowledge of the animal that you are housing, which you do.”

“Quite a bit of it.” he wagged his tail slightly, quite happy with what he was about to do.

“This is just the terms related to allowing there to be a quirked animal in the house.”

“Which your house follows, both your guardians have the license, your 13, no charges, along with you and your fosters knowing cats.”

“Aizawa specializes in quirked cats while Yamada has basic knowledge.”

“Now The license has a few different requirements.”

“These are the ones you meet, Age, experience since you have been taking care of cats for at least 2 years, No crimes, at least 2 sources that can consider you reputable.”

“What are the 2 sources? That consider, me reputable.” he boy pointed at himself when he spoke.

“There's a few ways this can be done. Your clients would need to submit a large form but heroes with a good track record can also satisfy the requirement.” 

“Me and your fosters can since we are all reputable this would hold a lot of weight and you could get a hero work license from this also.”

“A hero work license?”

“That's a bit different but if you want your quirked animal to be able to do hero work with you they need a hero work license.” 

“How does that work?”

“Let me finish the Quirked animal license since it has many of the same requirements.” 

“These are the ones you need, Classes on quirked animal laws, knowledge of facilities related to them, Quirked animal insurance on you and the animal.”

“Did you get those?”

“Can I have a list?” Nezu was quite pleased with this ask since he came prepared.

“Well lucky for you I already have one let me finish going through what else you need.”

“Since you're a minor you will also need good grades in school over a B+ should do.”

“Damn it…”

“Is there a issue with that?”

“Math.”

“Ah” the class so many humans struggle with why he could fathom.

“We can always get you supplement classes, if you're passing it they shouldn't throw a fit but it's better if you have a B.”

“I can try, I got a high-ish C at the moment.”

“Not too bad you still got half a year.”

“May I ask why your doing this Nezu?”

“Well it's quite simple, it's logical for you to have the licenses. If it was up to me I would say go straight for the work one but you need the original license to even try for it.”

Shinso nodded, moving over to sit on the bed tapping his hand over which was a better spot then the floor which he was right now occupying. 

“Now there are some papers you will need to sign also.”

“These are for liability, this is for logging and this one is the application to the classes.”

“We can go more in detail later but all 3 of those will need to be signed.” 

“Lastly you need to have a meeting with someone from the QAP which stands for Quirked Animal Protection.”

“That's it? Some paper signed, classes, grades, facilities, and Insurance? Isn't it a bit too easy?”

“The classes aren't easy and the meeting is quite hard. You also can get rejected if your reputable sources aren't strong enough.”

“This is one other catch, one of the tests requires you to show control and discipline of the animal.”

“That's not going to be much of an issue.” Shinso spoke, seeming proud of himself which was intriguing.

“Why's that?”

“I started training Izuku before you woke up.”

“Are you experienced in cat training?”

“Well I have it with every stray I have gotten.”

“Some basic training before going to their forever home.”

“This wouldn't be just basic training.”

“The animal that's being tested needs some self control, Follow directions, and quirk control.”

“I can do two of those for sure…Not sure about quirk control though…”

“That's where I come in to assist with convincing Izuku to play along.”

“Bribery is an opinion.” the kid stood going over to the closet and grabbing a bag of cat treats.

Then he shook it and all hell broke loose. Izuku ran in sitting down right infront of him…It's clear that he wanted to jump up onto him by how his back legs slightly shifted.

“Under Bed” izuku ran under the bed coming out the other side then after he returned to Shinso he was given a treat.

“Not bad for how little time you have had with him.”

“Most of the first week was just getting him used to me.”

“ GIVEE MEEE MOREEEE ” yowled the green fur ball.

“I think you got him addicted.”

“I don't cheap out on treats.”

Which was extreme from what bag of treats he was holding. Those at least cost 20 dollars.

“Midori” he waited for the cats attention to shift to him.

“Yah Nezu?”

“Would you be willing to transform whenever Shinso says a certain word?” 

“Matter’s, what's the reason?” 

“For a test and also practice.”

“Would it be offen?”

“You would get treats for it when prompted.”

“Sure then. What word?”

“Shinso, Midori needs a word that you would use for him to be prompted to use his quirk.”

“Umm…let me think.”

There was a long pause, Midori was still waiting at Shinso’s feet for more treats. Which was cute. 

“What about…Aerial?”

“That would work.” 

“Can I try it?” He nodded interested to see how this would unfold.

“Aerial” Midori Shifted into his Griffen form he stood large in the room tail brushing against the wall. 

His wings were lucky folded but this caused enough noise for Yamada to rush in and look.

“Umm little listening…And Nezu do you need me to call Sho?”

“Nope But thank you for the offer.”

The man nodded leaving right after.

Looking back to Shinso who gave Midori a treat.

“Now Shinso, we will need to discuss a bit about your future…Some schools dislike these licenses.”

“Which schools…”

“Most highschools”

“Which don’t then.”

“UA, Shiketsu and a few other private schools.”

“So my best bet for if I want to become a hero and have the licenses is UA…”

“Quite correct.”

“I am not going to give you a different test but I will tell you the year you do it…The practical part of it is fighting robots.”

“Fill out an item request for it…”

“I got 2 years…Yah I can do this” the boy chuckled. 

“Now read over these papers and at a later date we will get your classes and schooling situation fixed.”

The boy slowly started reading over the papers.

Good he's taking this seriously.

After the rat's hell of paperwork and thank the rat for this one a full list of what he has…

Sadly the rat told him that they would talk about the hero licensing, one later.

Like why would he not be interested in the possibility of having his quirked cat assist him in hero work? Well if Izuku wanted but from how attached he's becoming he probably would just follow him out.

It's funny to think that this cat that's clearly been tortured is friendliest little shit he's ever met for a feral cat cause that's what he is.

He doesn't meow which is more proof that he's a feral cat since he basically yowls. Which seems to work just as effectively for what he wants.

The fact he also chirps more than most cats is interesting…

Hitoshi has heard a cat chirp before but nothing like this. 

I quite like it though.

My soon to be officially my strange cat griffen.

His quirk though is odd…If it was a Giffen by the claws its got to be but why is his face still a cat face though?

Most transformation quirks take the facial expressions at least.

But his doesn't…Or he's not experienced enough to do it. 

Hitoshi shook himself out those thoughts, stepping out and seeing Yamada and Aizawa at the table.

Yamada was talking up a storm as Aizawa seemed to just be writing a list. Soon eyes landed on him and Nezu who trailed right behind.

“I am Assuming you both want to talk.”

“You would be correct.” Aizawa sounded exhausted like no amount of sleep could or would help.

“Hey little listener, why don't you go watch Tv in the living room.” 

  In other words adult talk fuck off for now.

“Okay then.” he wandered off to the living room. 

Which was the most furnished room of the whole house from what he's seen. It had blue old granny carpets that had one to many stains on them. In one of the corners by the couch was a shrine walking a bit closer, it was for somebody named Oboro by the name plate. He honestly didn't ask. 

There was a small balcony over to the side of the Tv, honestly the whole building was kinda a shit show in the sense of design. Once he was explained it was specially for heroes he understood why. A lot of other heroes have, work out equipment and things like the sort inside of their apartment.

He had no fucking idea why… Like you're a hero, can’t you get a gym pass or a private gym?

The building itself had a built- in gym; the basement level was a full quirk reinforced sound proof gym; he was shown that on Wednesday and had fun messing around with the gym stuff.

To be exact the monkey bar-like things, he also got to try Aizawa’s weapon and he got stuck in it, but it was kinda fun, definitely a weapon he wants to learn. 

Sadly he was not allowed down there without an adult for now…They said that could change later once the full complex of heroes met him. Which is fair since there was a hero staring at him for at least 10 mins when he walked into the apartment without Aizawa being right behind him.

If he froze until Aziawa came back inside with him and if that hero who he thinks is Native..

Said nothing about it. 

It never happened.  

Shut up. 

Looking back around the bright room his eyes landed on the couch and coffee table. Which Clashed horribly. The hot pink was not doing the room any justice. 

“Hey Nezu.”

“Yes Shinso?” Echoed from the other room.

“There's a crime, in here.” He grined.

The white Rat thing darted around the corner looking directly at the couch…”Oh god that is a terrible crime.”  

“Aziawa come take this criminal away!” chirped the rodent who was grining with a paw over his mouth. 

Both of the heroes darted into the living room looking around and being very confused the one that figured it out first was Aziawa. “Told you it was a crime.”

“What?” Yamada full out stared at the grining man next to him.

The Raven haired man just walked across the room and since he lived in his fucking hero costume pulled out a knife and cut the couch making the other squawk. 

“Its not a crime.”

“Yes it is, to basic design.” the other snapped back Nezu just stood on the side extremely pleased. 

“This house defies basic design.”

“It quite does but you can at least not make it more atrocious.” The white creature chipped back.

 By the end of it the couch was out the window and a new one was being shipped in for over the weekend. 

Shota was standing at the kitchen island after the whole pink couch removal. He glared down at his notebook paper with his pen in his hand. His other hand was taping a rhythm on the marble countertop. 

Tap,

Tap, 

I hate shopping trips. 

And I hate shopping lists.

He rubbed at his pounding headache that was inching into a migraine, scribbling down more things they would need at the mall…Which was a lot. 

Who knew getting a cat and a kid would do that.  

“Cat toys, bread, hair spray…”  

Zashi really needs to just buy a massive bottle of the stuff…

You know what, he just needs to buy a hair spray company. Being the lead icon and buyer of it. 

A strand of long black hair fell onto his face, he tried to blow it out of face but it just fell again dragging down more with it. He gave up on that and just pushed it back behind his ear. 

“What else… I know we need more …” his fingers began to tap faster. 

Shota blinked when the can thing landed on the paper in front of him with a toothless smile. It was quite unsettling. 

“Hello there… What can I… do for you?” Shota mentally slapped himself, he had just asked a can if it needed something. 

“Squeeeekkka” he blinked, not expecting it to do that. 

“I don't speak, squeak.” 

“Squ-eek-aa” 

“Again, I do not speak your language.”

It huffed, puffing out its cheeks and scurrying away. 

That was weird… 

Anyways.

Shota reconcentrated back on the task he was originally doing. 

The list so far contained of: 

Cat stuff:
toys, food, towers, climbing stations, Extra wood planks, harness, leash, collar, nametag

Kitchen:
soap, hand towels, cooking oil, new frying pan 

Food:
  bread, milk?, chicken, curry, fish, dumplings, tofu, broth, sushi

Bathroom:
soap, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, floss, mouth wash 

Zashi:
Hair, new charger for hearing addes, sunglasses, new brush

Shinso:
toothpaste, tooth bush, bedding, new clothes, brush,hair things

Aizawa:
jelly pouches, eye drops, painkillers, socks

The little creature came back this time with a pen in its tail. 

Shota was a bit interested but just in case he flipped it to another page. 

Nezu and Zashi were talking loudly in the room.

The little creature used the pen and drew something…

It looked like a tank…

“Do you want a home?” Why was he humoring this thing?

It jumped up and down so he went back to the other page and puts ???.

Nezu walks in at this moment, ears perking at the sight of the little thing. “Oh Hello there little fella.” The little creature ran over with the pen held with its tail.

The rat's beady eyes landed on him.

“Cani, Shota.” 

“Well Cani wants a tank or a home…”

“Anything without metal should work.”

Cani yips, jumping up and down.

“Does glass work?” 

“Not sure I've only ever seen him eat metal.” 

“Good to know.”  

Cani : Tank and other Lizard things?

A small Note hid in the corner
Figure out later what the fuck it is.

Hisashi had hid himself in his studio to hopefully avoid the metal eating can after he noticed that Sho was talking to the thing.

 He still honestly believed it was secretly a bug . 

But no bug could eat a doorknob… right? 

I sure hope not!

Wait shit it all already did…

He shuddered, flopping down on his spinny chair letting it spin a bit then turning on his PC. 

When the screen flickered on, he had to shield his eyes from the bright white screen that fully flashed the dark room.

He forgot to turn it fully off, great . 

The almost flopping out of his chair from how quickly his recoil reflex kicks in. 

Was definitely the worst part. 

Note to self, turn the lights on next time.

Booting up the thing he debated what to do… 

I could play smash or pass on that one site. 

I could be productive…Or play minesweeper…

Maybe record?

Fuck that, productiveness is going out the window…

He booted up an old game program that was made in the prequirk era. 

“I'm surprised that this thing still works just as well as ever.” 

Loading up a minecraft world he just decided to build for a while…

Who knew that 3 hours would go by and the Can Creature would be on his shoulder for god knows how long.

Chapter Text

Hisashi was still slightly pissed at Sho for not telling him that little creature left his sight…So if he was taking a bit longer to get ready not even Sho could call him out on it. 

Looking over at the man in question he was still standing by the door like an inpatient kid that was just lectured about rushing the other. It was clear the underground hero was exaggerating his reaction to the fact he had to be patient. 

Which was extremely amusing.

“What are we doing today…” Shinso spoke in a flat tone. It was clear he was trying not to make it like a question.

The purple haired kid was sitting at the island counter, legs swinging slightly with some leftovers that Shinso grabbed. Izuku layed next to him on the ground, looking like he wanted to jump up and steal food off the table again... This cat is already a brat.  

With both Shinso and Sho feeding him from the table it was not a surprise. 

“Did you hear me?” 

Shinsos voice snapped him out of his musings “Hmm?” 

“The Mall, we need some things and so do you.” Sho reapplied, sounding tired at just thinking of going to the mall. 

The kid was eyeing him, seeming a bit confused and a bit worried. “Sorry little listener I was lost in thought.” 

Then Shos words processed  “Really the Mall?!” Hizashi lights up, at the prospect of annoying his husband into buying more shit.   

“Why must you be like thiss” In a drowned and playful tone

He just chuckled, finishing getting ready and walking over to the door. “You ready Shinso?”

“Hmm, yeah…” the boy stood walking over to them.

Izuku followed, like a little duckling. 

“You know Izuku can't come right?” Sho spoke in an ever exhausted tone staring down at the cat. 

Shinso tilted his head in confusion, Izuku mirror him which was Fucking aborable.

“Oh right…” he paused for a second thinking it over “Stay.” 

The green cat Lights up and sat right where he was. 

“Ah, that works.”

“This is the first time I am having him wait for his reward…”

“Will that be fine?” looking to Sho the resident cat expert.

“I… probably.”

“I don't like how that sounds.”

“Well, we haven't left Izuku home alone yet…”

“That's…a good point.” Hisashi hated to admit it but none of them have left this cat alone.

“Test run?” Sho nodded to his question so they opened the door and stepped out.

After 5 mins of hearing nothing and checking the cameras they found he was still in his spot…  

“If he's there after 20 mins…I am using the speaker to say you can move.” Sho looked nervous about it, meaning it was unclear what the reaction would be. 

“That's fair.” It would have been cruel to let the kitten wait at the door for that long. 

Shinso was a quiet kid in general but as they went down to the car he noticed just how quiet he was, only a few heroes noticed them, mainly undergrounds. They were waving or sending curiously glances at the boy. He didn't blame them. A new person in the apartment is always a buzz, but when it's a child even more so. 

Exciting the building, they made their way to the car, which felt like an eternity to Hizashi. When the car was finally in sight, he abruptly yelled. 

“SHOTGUNNNnnn!” 

At least 10 heroes peaked out from the building after they saw who it was, they promptly disappeared. 

“Zashi” Sho whispered-shouted, glaring at him. 

Shinso looked a little shocked, oops.

They all climbed in, getting situated. Hizashi opened the junk drawer scouring for the right CD, it was their first family outing after all, they needed music.

Sho looked ready to murder him on the spot.  

“SOME BOYS KISS ME, SOME BOYS HUG ME”

“I THINK THERE OKAY” Hizashi was singing his heart out. 

“IF THEY DON'T GIVE ME PROPER CREDIT, I JUST WALK AWAYY”

“THEY CAN BEG AND THEY CAN PLEAD”

“BUT THEY CANT SEE THE LIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT” 

“Cause the boy with the cold hard cash, it always mister Righit”

“CAUSE WE ARE LIVING IN A MATERIAL WORLD, AND IMM A MATERIAL GIRLLL-” 

The music abruptly stopped just as it got to the good part. He pouted looking over at Sho who was the only possible culprit. 

“If the music is on, no singing obnoxiously.” 

Hisashi puffed out his cheeks, just as a child would have but was laughing to himself enjoying his husband's suffering. He glanced back in the rear view mirror to see Shinso with a small smile on his lips. 

“Finnnne.”

Sho turned the music back on and Hizashi hummed it to himself, for most of the trip. 

Art By: Sap

Just before they got out of the car Sho was checking the cameras. It made sense since the mall was only 20-ish mins away.

“He isn’t there…” He heard Shinso shift to peek over his shoulder.

“Check the others.” the kid sounded nervous…  

After flipping through a few cameras it landed onto the living room one. The Green cat was starting at a point and seeming to talk or meyooowl. Meows and yowls Are Meyoowls and I will say this with a straight face to someone one day.

If it's Endeavor, to confuse his ass, no one needs to know.  

Then Izuku jumped, seeming to grab onto something that wasn't there…And then be shifted like a cat being held like a baby…

“Sho… Honey, I told you the house is Fucking Haunted.” Shinso snapped his head over and stared at him, “I do curse, little listener.”

Shinso seemed shellshocked and just nodded and went back to looking at the screen. 

It was clear that Izuku was being pet and if the ghost wasn't going to hurt him he saw no point to deal with it at this very moment. 

“As much as this proves that logic doesn't always work, we should go inside.” He taped his husband's nose snapping him out of his clearly external spiraling. 

“Zashi…Are you telling me to leave the cat with the Ghost…”

“Yes, the cat seems to be getting pets, so there's no harm in it.”

“If something changes though we go home.”

The raven haired man sat for a second thinking it over “Fine.”

Shinso shifted back and opened his door excitedly. So as adults they were, they followed right behind the boy. Sho quickly took the lead wanting to get this done as quickly as possible it seems.

It never works. 

His face said it all though the mixture of Exhaustion, Tiredness and Flight or fight response all at once. Made him look ready to leave or die on the spot.  

He set a quick pace, already B lining it to HouseHold Essentials.

Uncreative people. Couldn't you have at least called it Paradise for the House?

Whatever. 

Stepping into the most basic named store in his life. 

Walking in went about as well as you could expect it to. 

With a child that clearly doesn't know how to pick things, an adult that tries to live off of jelly and coffee and him.

So overall, it was a shit storm.  

Immediately Sho, his lovely husband went straight to the bathroom area.

“Would you like any specific toothpaste?” Luckily for them Nezu sent them Shinso allergies on Tuesday he didn't have many and they were minor. 

Shinso shook his head.

“Wanna join me in the kitchen section?” Hisashi had to at least try to get the kid to open up a bit more…

“Sure.” The kid luckily trailed beside him walking completely silent at least for him…

Being deaf sucks and he will never get over it.

“Any Shampoos Or Conditioners you need specifically?” holding his phone out to check their list. “I can message Sho to pick it up.” 

Shinso looked ready to dismiss it the moment he mentioned it but stopped when he mentioned Sho could pick it up instead…”Head and shoulders shampoo…” 

“Is that all?” the kid nodded. 

So he messaged Sho about it. Getting a Quick Response.

Zashi

Head and Shoulders Shampoo.

Sho

For shinso

Zashi

Yep!

Sho

A kid of cheapness perfect

Zashi
No.

Looking up from his phone he watched as Shinso looked at the pans. “Hey Shinso” the kid looked at him. “Question, is there any reason for Head and shoulders specifically?”  

“Only thing that works for my dandruff.”

Going back to the phone with a shit eating grin he typed.

Zashi

Only thing that works on his dandruff.

Sho

Doesn't mean he doesn't get it for the 3 in one.

Zashi

Does Not prove that he does either.
: ) 

Looking up at the frying pans again he grabbed one that looked sturdy which would be their 10th frying pan at least.

“That Brand is shit” Shinso spoke in the monotone voice he's already getting used to. 

“It is?”

“Yeah…We may have to pay for it but I can prove it…”

“That's fine by me…we can feed it to the creature”

“Cani?” he tilted his head.

“Yes, the creature.” 

Shinso grasped the pan he was holding and tugged back a bit, surprising Hasashi as the stick went away from the metal… 

Meaning he was holding A metal disk now and Shinso was holding the stick and at least 3 people stared at them openly.

“You were correct…That is a shit brand.” throwing the metal disk into the cart as Shinso did the same with the stick.

“Do you have a better suggestion?”

“I do…” he walked over to the other side and bent down, seeming to move at least 6 different pan brands.

 Pulling out 5 different pans of all different sizes then putting them into the cart looking up at him after to see if it was okay he just gave Shinso a warm smile seeming to give the boy a bit more confidence in his action.

“These are a stronger brand and quirk treated.” Hisashi just nodded to it and they continued down… He did not know what to say. 

Starting to head down the aisle to the basic cooking supplies, luckily this mall had multi shop carts. Going to grab some cooking oil which Shinso didn't comment on.

Thinking about it he walked back leaving the cart there Shinso hovered around it as he grabbed some hand towels from back in the aisle.

Putting them into the cart he quickly organized the stuff in the cart just making it a bit less cluttered. 

Pushing the cart down to the bathroom sector. Sho could be seen staring at two things meaning he's either debating something or got bored waiting. 

By the time he pushed the cart right next to his husband who was holding toothpaste, his favorite brand of hair spray and some toothbrushes.

“Sho” he said loud enough for the man to clearly hear them.

Eyes drifted over to them then back to what he was looking at. Once they got close enough Sho put the items into the cart then grabbed both of the bottles one was coffee scented but it was much more expensive than his normal brand. 

He sighed, “Sho we can buy it if you like.”

The fact he looked ready to protest was kind of hilarious. “We are pro heroes, we have the money.”

Sho looked away for a moment and put it into the cart. Old habits die hard especially with underground hero’s...  There paycheck is based on how many Villains, and how many major cases get done in the week.

For most low class thugs it ranged from 5 to 10 dollars…Which was minuscule.  

That was most of the underground heroes catches…

Now ranked villains go up in price mattering their rank…Vigilantes are considered their own category. 

S rank being the most ranging from 3k to 7k mattering their list of crimes.

A rank was 1k to 2k.

B rank was 500 to 800.

C ranked mattering heavily on their crimes have the widest range since if they are not classified completely yet they are thrown in this one ranging from 100 to 3k.

D rank if you were lucky 50 dollars. 

Anything lower falls into thug class. 

Vigilantes were also graded but only in 3 categories.

Stage 1

Stage 2

And Strage 3 like Stendhal.

He was snapped out of his train of thought by the fact Sho took over pushing the cart and was heading forward to grab the Shampoo and conditioner. 

Continuing his previous thought train while trailing behind.

Stage 1 Vigilantes are the new kids on the block so 50 dollars.

Stage 2 they been around the block, but there not known enough to make the HPSC panic…So they range about 100 to 300 dollars.

Stage 3 well known or internet Vigilantes are 6k or higher.

But since how useful Vigilantes are to underground heroes that incentive is rarely enough to even try it. 

So Sho’s behavior of being cheap does have logic to it and he knows this…But damn is it hard to break the habit…

The only part of underground work that pays like a normal pro is cases and raids. Luckily for undergrounds they do it more frequently.  

Shinso and Sho were up ahead talking about something quietly and picking out shampoo and conditioner. Hisashi went ahead of the other two to the hair brush aisle grabbing a few he knew were quite durable. 

Heading back he put them into the cart Sho looking at his little notebook. 

“We can go to the next store.”

“Lets go pay then.”

After that along with him having to explain the broken pan and why they were buying it Sho was not impressed. 

While walking over to the Clothing store he did notice the Electronics store which was just as original as the other. Electronics.

He started to lightly drag the other two over to it. Sho got the hint Shinso followed behind clearly confused. 

It would’ve been funny if he didn't expect it from this mall since he did check its name after seeing the first bad name and the mall was named Fucking MALL. 

These are some of the most Unoriginal people he has ever ‘met’ in his life. 

Walking into what could only be a plant store by its name. He chuckled, having Sho raise an eyebrow at him. “Just a dumb joke.” He accepted the answer and went back to looking around. 

Shinso looked at him, “My phone works.”

He pulls out the oldest most broken phone Hisashi’s, ever seen. It was a offence phones like his couch seemed to be and since that needed to be fixed so did this

“You need a new phone, it's a safety concern.” that shut him up and he nodded.  

Going straight for the quirk reinforced phones considering Shinso’s quirk and his phone at the moment he had a guess, to what happened. 

Getting the best quality phone and a new charger for his hearing aids while he was at it.

Leaving that and then going to the original destination. 

Stepping into the clothing store that followed the same naming theme showed that Shinso and Sho hated this store the most out of all of them. Considering they looked like they were told to kick a cat. 

“Go get your socks Sho” the man wandered off into the sock aisle.

Lucky for all of them Shinso and Sho wanted to get out of this place as fast as possible, meaning that Shinso got all the casual clothes quite quickly.

“Shinso try this on.” he held the gem he found.

Once Shinso peaked around the corner he held up what he found making the boy smile and go and grab it. Rushing over to the changing room to try it on. 

After a few moments a purple haired kid in a light purple shirt with baggy black pants stepped out of the changing room. The light purple shirt had cats imprinted all over it and it said in bold black letters “I may be a pussy cat but I am no pussy. ”

If he took a few pictures for later only both of them needed to know. 

The fancy clothes part of the shopping wasn't as entertaining sadly for Shinso he had no clothes going to the Iwata’s house yielded noting that was worth keeping. Most of it was hole ridden, small and or just over all disgusting. 

Some of the clothes that he clearly didn’t wear since dust was over them along with live moths. Where stiff as a brick how clothes become stiff he had no idea.   

It didn't take too long but the cart was getting stuffed. 

So they called a pick up to bring those outside their apartment. They didn't trust Izuku to not run out or to not attack them. 

Hisashi was convinced that Shinso was little Sho.

They act the exact same as how he remembered Sho acting in freshman year…The fact this was a 13 year was more of an issue. 

“Sho can we stop into the Furniture store for Shinso?” 

“It's not needed.” Shinso shook his head.

“Lets so we don't have to come back twice.” that got the kid to shut up. 

Who sulked but followed along with a huff. 

It took them 30 mins of walking around to find the rip off Ikea that was named Furniture.

Stepping inside all hell was in the building…

People were jumping all over shit and acting like lunatics. He swears he saw a baby fly across the room.  

This is why heroes always wear intercoms. Sho moved his hand “Get the paddywagon, at MALL.”

“Which Mall?” Kamui Woods crackled to life on his speaker.

“The Mall named Mall.” he chimed while watching the situation “No quirk usage from those going wild, No major damage it looks like cat zoomies…”

“There's a Mall named Mall?” Gang Orca asks over the speaker.

“Yep.” Hawks Chimed in. “What level is it.”

“Level 1 or 2 for crowd danger.” Sho commented.

“I am Close” Kamui Woods spoke “Coming to your location now keep me updated.”

“Will do.”

A few other pros chimed in at least 3 were laughing at how he described it. 

After 8 mins he showed up grabbing the crowd of them and holding them up they were still trying to run and struggle. But they weren't hurting themselves. 

Looking closer there was a crying child in the group that was glowing slightly.

Sho used his quirk and everyone in the crowd snapped out of whatever daze they were in. Some even going limp in Kamui Woods grasp they were put down lightly “Code Purple” he spoke into the speaker.

“Ah what's the quirk?” Gang Orca spoke, seeming slightly amused.

“Some sort of crowd affecting, excitement quirk.” Sho blandly mentioned.

“Can we go back to shopping now?” He looked over at Kamui Woods who was the lead pro on this now.

“You can.” He was holding the child, shushing them and slowly calming them down. After shooting the little kiddo a small smile all 3 of them walked into the store.

It took maybe 10 mins for Shinso to pick a nice dark oak set of furniture that would be shipped to their apartment tomorrow along with a set of galaxy sheets.

Nezu bled onto his old set. 

He suspected that Shinso was getting along with this whole shopping trip. “Are you ready to shop for Izuku?”

That got him to perk up. Nodding a response and seeming to pick up the pace along with Sho.

Stepping into the Pet Store.
