______________
The air was so cold that one would think that winter came early, but they would be wrong as it was a warm day in fall, the cold itself was from the atmosphere at the warehouse that Eve and the others were still at.
Currently, every one there had a dark/anxious expression on their faces, except for Eve and the EMT's. Eve, because the information she shared didn't matter that much to her, so she was pretty casual about it, and the EMT's due to them leaving immediately after Nezu brought up her scar.
Although, Eve may have been casual about the information, this casualness only brought more questions to the small principal's mind. He couldn't understand how someone who had to adapt to a possibly 'extra' quirk, and scarred herself while in a panic, could be so calm about it, as if it didn't happen to them in the first place.
"Miss Toga, excuse me if I'm being rude, but why does it seem like you aren't bothered by what you have just told us?" He started to look at her with less of a dark look, though he's now looking at her similar to how someone would look at a strange equation.
"Well first off, I should have said this earlier, Himiko Toga isn't in control, I am, and I'm Evangeline Kieran, but you can call me Eve. Now, for your question, that panic attack that gave me this scar wasn't the worst thing that's happened to me." She said with that same nonchalant tone she used the last time she answered him.
What she said was far from a lie, after all, a scar to her is similar to a stubbed toe, or getting a bad haircut, it'll be annoying for a while, but you'll either get over it or work around it. But, to other's scars would be a big deal and her seeing it as just an inconvenience would raise some flags, so she decided to control the flow of the conversation from here on.
'Hm, I wonder if I can use Wendigo's animal manipulation ability to make Nezu more protective of me, and I could use Telepathy to garner more sympathy from him. Even if I don't need him to have a good life in this world, it's good to have back up plans (and definitely not because I want to make him do it for me).'
Eve connected her thoughts with Nezu's, she also used the animal manipulation ability to make Nezu slightly more inclined to protect and care for her. Now it was time to start this pity party.
{The needles, the cutting, the force-feeding of pills, and watching those bastards in lab coats kill the other's in front of me before carting off their bodies was so much worse...}
On the outside Eve was still wearing that casual expression, but on the inside to Nezu it sounded like the thoughts of a hurt girl who was trying to mask her pain with a calm facade.
{Does this girl have a telepathic quirk? But, her file showed she had a blood related quirk, though I suppose this proves my hypothesis of her having multiple quirks. Though she also said Himiko Toga wasn't in control, hm, interesting.
Wait, Evangeline Kieran can you hear my thoughts, just as I can hear yours?} He looked at her with a quizzical look, trying to understand the limits of the current quirk that she has demonstrated. But, she didn't respond to his question, in fact her expression didn't even change, even when Nezu tried to make loud sounds in his mind or anything else he could think of, her expression never changed.
"Wait, what do you mean, Himiko Toga isn't in control, and why do you look so different from what we know?!" These questions came from Sir Nighteye, who couldn't hold his curiosity any longer, he needed answers, especially to why she looked so different from what his vision showed him (except for her younger age obviously).
"It's exactly as I said, she isn't in control anymore, you could call me her split personality if you want, and my change in appearance is because of a mutation quirk of mine, it's called Wendigo." As Eve spoke her expression still hadn't changed from before, surprisingly her experiences did give her one very important skill, a damn good poker face, which helps tremendously when needed.
{Poor Himiko, she couldn't handle what they did, so her mind made me to protect her from the trauma.} It was easier to make them believe she was a split personality of Himiko, rather than a girl that was reincarnated and took control of Himiko's original body.
"A split personality, what could've caused that? And, we heard your quirk was related to blood, but we were also informed that it wasn't a mutation type, so how do you have multiple quirks?" Her earlier answer only brought more questions to Sir's mind, so he asked what him, All Might, and Detective Tsukauchi were all thinking.
"Well, tell me this, do you think getting experimented on for several months, by people who wanted a living weapon, is enough to break someone's mind?" It was at this point that Eve's expression finally changed from nonchalant, to cold seriousness. Even if what she was insinuating was fake, the fact that she answered his question with another was enough to get past Tsukauchi's quirk.
{When those bastards didn't get an emotionless weapon they planned on disposing of me like the others.} Her earlier words were a shock to everyone, and it served to make the five kids by her even more furious, but her thoughts added onto that shock for Nezu.
"They need to be punished...." This voice held nothing but anger, and surprisingly it came from the boy that Eve now saw as her little brother, Tenko, in response to his words the four others vehemently agreed with him. Looks like having them see Eve as their savior did more than just make them see her as some hero for them.
"Don't worry Tenko, I already punished them, and they won't be hurting anyone else any time soon." Hearing Tenko get mad for her, brought a warm smile to her face. She even patted the top of his head to show her appreciation for his reaction, which he instantly smiled from the head pat, almost as if he wasn't ready to murder someone just a couple seconds ago.
"Now, if there aren't any further questions, can we please leave, I want to get these four back to their homes." Eve didn't want to spend the entire day just talking, especially since the four she was motioning towards were probably missing their families by this point.
Though, it seemed like her words served to make Izuku, Uraraka, Toru, and Mei look reluctant, as if they didn't want to leave her yet. The only one wasn't wearing a reluctant expression was Tenko, who surprisingly had a smug/happy face, he most likely figured out that the way she phrased the sentence meant that she had no intentions of leaving him.
{This girl has multiple quirks, she most likely killed those kidnappers and the ones pinned to the warehouse, and she managed to find these kids in a short time frame. She has great potential to be a hero, judging by her care towards these children, and how well she could use whatever quirks she has in the future.
But, if I just let her go, or let Tsukauchi handle her, there's a chance that she could become a vigilante, or worst case scenario a villain. I need to monitor her, and lead her to the path of heroism, though I'll need a reason to have her monitored by me.} It looks like Nezu has taken the bait that Eve set, now it was time to reel in this catch.
"Miss Eve, I do have two more questions for you, so please answer them to the best of your ability. Can you tell of some of your quirks? And, did you find anything in the warehouse that could lead us to who organized these kidnappings?"
Eve had to put her poker face to the limits, because Nezu just asked the perfect questions for this situation, and it almost brought a smile to her face. It's also a good thing that she made sure to get that computer from earlier and had her copy check what was on it, because it had all the evidence needed to identify who hired the kidnappers.
"I won't tell you all of my quirks, for obvious reasons, but I will tell you a couple of them. Transform was the first, it lets me turn into someone else if I drink their blood. Lightning Body, which lets me turn a part of me into lightning itself. Self-Duplication, which lets me make copies of myself, but so far I can only make three at a time. Finally, Wendigo, it lets me do anything a wendigo can do, including, but not limited to, sensing negative emotions, changing my voice, and manipulating ice.
Oh, and about your evidence question, here this computer should have what you're looking for, but you should probably make sure that not too many people see it." Even if they knew about some of her quirks, it's not like they can make plans to go against all of them at once, and by only telling them four of her quirks it helps her keep some tricks up her sleeve just in case.
Eve handed the computer over to Nezu, who quickly went through it. While the others were absorbing the information about her quirks, especially All Might and Izuku, for different reasons, Nezu eventually managed to find a couple emails between the kidnappers and....
"The Hero Public Safety Commission....."
