At this point Tenko and I have almost finished watching the first season of the show we found this morning, and Himiko was still going through my memories watching the shows I watched in my past life.
Though I couldn't shake a thought that I've been having since Tenko stopped crying yesterday, it was what I noticed most about him, other than how fluffy his hair is. He hasn't said a single word since I met him, and he still hasn't today.
I don't remember much about the time between Tenko killing his family, and All For One finding him, so I don't know if this is related to his trauma. But, at least with Wendigo I can tell he doesn't have any major negative emotions lingering in him.
'Maybe a therapy animal could help him open up, in case his trauma is different/worse than Tomura's?' This is one of the problems of being in an AU of the original MHA, things could be so much worse/better for certain people in the world, and when someone like me is thrown into the mix things tend to get even more complicated.
An example of this is the kidnappings that happened, in the original the HPSC did raise children to become weapons, but they never out right kidnapped them to make a weapon comparable to All Might in his prime or a High-End Nomu. But, here that is exactly what they did, that's what the emails on that computer entailed.
They managed to figure out how to copy quirks, similar to Dr. Garaki, but the way they copied them and placed those copies into a subject were far worse than his. Sure, the doctor needed AFO to get the quirks first to then make copies of them, because then through his DNA, which is basically a catalog of quirks, he could isolate them and make copies from that.
But, the HPSC decided that, 'Hey, if we blend up a person and get all that DNA, maybe we can copy that person's quirk!', and that's almost exactly what those bastards did. Hell, even the doctor at least had the standards to keep the subject unconscious during the transfer, but no those bastards decided that it would be best to keep them awake to break their minds to make them better emotionless puppets to use!
[Eve, calm down, you're spiraling.] Shit, she's right, my emotions are becoming chaotic. But, I guess this is as good as time as any to tell you guys that, after Tenko and I got here that seal on my emotions has been slipping off even faster, the system probably considers this place a 'safe environment'.
I'd give it a week or two, before all those emotions linked to my memories fully rush back, and I become just like my old self again. I'll be once again be the same sleep-deprived, and sadistic daughter of a bastard that I was before my death.
I may be sadistic now, like when I killed those kidnappers, but it was nothing in comparison to what I would do in the past. For example, I blinded a guy before making him walk on all fours across nails, broken glass, and syringes while making him hear the screams of his wife as I killed her, and that guy was one of the main scientist that I may, or may not, have hunted down after I escaped that lab.
Fucking hell, I need to focus on something else, screw it I'm gonna bring out Guts, that'll give me something to do other than remember my past.
"Hey Tenko, I'm going to head to the room real quick." It may not seem important to tell him this, but if I suddenly got up, and went to the bedroom, that we now share since he hates being separated from me for too long, he would probably follow me. I also don't plan on showing off the system for a while.
He nodded to what I said with no signs of getting up, guess he got hooked on the show that we were watching, so I got up and headed from the living room over to our room that was to the right of the couch. By the way, the structure of this place is similar to the Midoriya home, except the hallway leading to the bedrooms wasn't across from the doorway.
After I got into the room I quickly moved over to the bed, that was on the right side of the back of the room, this way I would be out of Tenko's line of sight. It was there that I opened Inventory and brought out my small derpy companion.
Though, instead of what usually happens when I bring something out from Inventory, it being in my hand in most cases, this time when I brought Guts out, he appeared on the bed, curled up into a ball wearing that little light blue hoodie of his.
He is so small, he looks like he could fit in the palms of my hands easily, even with this younger body, I think he's barely a couple of months old. I guess since I'm, physically, young the system thought it would be a good idea to make it, so my Guts would also be pretty young, even for a dog.
I gently picked Guts up, turns out I was right he could easily fit in my hands, he slowly woke up while I was holding him, and he looked at me with those big derpy eyes of his. Now when I tell you that he is one of the most adorable creatures I have ever seen, other than Himiko and the girls, you better believe that I mean it with all my heart.
"Hi Guts, it's nice to finally meet you." I smiled at him, while he looked at me curiously. I think he wants to know what my name is?
"Oh right, I'm Eve, the person who's going to help you become strong enough to kill a god." Welp, that part about killing a god definitely got his attention, and he seems to really like the idea of being that strong.
Wait, how the fuck can I understand him, even though he's barely trying to express his questions/feelings? Is this a benefit of Guts being linked to my soul, or something?
'Oh shit, he just nodded his head, damn, I guess we can kind of sense each other's feelings, especially when it comes to curiosity.' This may have been another reason for the soul link in the first place, 'cause if the companion wasn't capable of verbal communication, we could at least communicate this way.
"Well, Guts, I think it's time you meet my little brother, since he'll be with us through most of our journey." I wasn't planning on hiding much from Tenko, except for the system itself for a while, so it was just common sense for me to introduce Guts to him.
Guts nodded to my statement, and I started heading back to the living room. Hopefully Tenko doesn't freak out too much about Guts, since he did end up decaying his old dog when he killed his family.
But, it turns out Nezu decided to come and check up on us, so when he walked in the first thing he saw was the girl he is trying to take custody of holding a random pup wearing a light blue hoodie. Which, even for the chaos mouse himself, was just too random and confusing for him.
"Oh, sup Nezu, this is Guts, I found him in me and Tenko's room. By the way, just like I would for Tenko, if Guts ever gets hurt someone will be punished." To me Guts, is already a member of my growing family, and I'm willing to destroy worlds for my family.
Nezu seemed to just accept it, whether it was because he knew I was willing to kill people for those I care about, or because he was just prepared for chaos when it came to my psychotic ass. Tenko on the other hand was more curious than anything else, so got up from the couch and came over to me and Guts.
"Guts, this is Tenko, he's the little brother that I was telling you about earlier." Both, Tenko and Guts seemed to be inspecting each other, for what reason? Fuck if I know, I just know that it looks adorable to see them basically having a little staring contest.
After a good couple of minutes of them staring at one another, they finally stopped and nodded to each other, seeming to come to some sort of agreement.
'Damn, it feels like I was barely even here for that part, but at least they seem to be getting along, so that's good.' With them, seemingly, getting along I won't have to worry as much about these two members of my family fighting too much. Soon, though, these two won't be the only members of my family, and I'll make sure that no matter what, my family and I will live happy lives.
The first step to that though, is to get rid of those two worthless parents, and establish contact with a certain half-n-half boy.

________________
So, it's the day of the trial, and I currently look like how young Himiko looked, this was done through a combination of Color Manipulation, minor illusion creation from Wendigo to hide my ears, and the retraction of my antlers. I changed my appearance because this trial is to discuss the custody of Himiko Toga, not Evangeline Kieran.
I've been making plans on how to go about this day, since I overheard Nezu talking about this trial. After all, it seems Nezu wants me here for some reason, even though I don't think a child is suppose to usually be present during a custody case.
But I haven't just been planning, it's actually been a productive four weeks, I managed to get Tenko to talk a bit, I got Lunch Rush to teach me how to make Katsudon and Croquettes (which I still need to practice making them even a fraction of how good his are), I practiced using Heaven's Door (mostly on All Might and Himiko's parents), and finally I got to hang out plenty with Mei, Toru, Izuku, and Uraraka.
They were really happy to hang out with me and Tenko, that were also pretty interested in when I got a pug (Guts). Especially Toru, who, if she wasn't staring at my tail or hugging me, was holding Guts the majority of the time. Though that's understandable, Guts is pretty damn adorable, hell he's the reason I decided to try making Croquettes because he seems to like them so much.
Oh, wait, you guys might be more curious about what I did to All Might and the Toga's with Heaven's Door, rather than what happened with my friends (and yes, I call them my friends, at least until I can officially make them family).
First off, I'll explain what I did with All Might, you see it turns out that this All Might is anti-quirkless people, even though he was born quirkless. I found this out with Technopathy, after I decided to go through a couple peoples private emails one afternoon when I was bored as all hell (fun fact, a lot of those people sent nudes through emails for some reason). So, I decided to make the man have slip ups whenever he was on camera, these 'accidental' slip ups would eventually entail him backhandedly insulting people with weak quirks or those that are quirkless.
Basically, I'm making the man slowly destroy his career, though I made sure that until he fights AFO he won't do much to break his career, before that point the slip ups will be small and manageable stuff. For example, stepping on someones foot, speaking a bit too loudly to a question, and being late to important meetings.
Now for the truly interesting part, Himiko's parents, you see I wanted to find out how much I could brutally fuck up any chances they had of living a decent life after the trial.
I first manipulated their perception of Himiko to a certain degree, they'll still feel disgust and stuff like that towards her, but at a much higher degree, to the point it seems like they outright prayed for someone to kidnap her. I even made it so they are extremely disrespectful towards authority, this way when the judge tries to tell them to calm down or something, they will mock him instead of comply quietly.
And, from what I've seen in this trial so far, my commands are working perfectly. It's like the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard case all over again, except this time the lawyer was actually decent, he just has the absolute worst clients to represent in history.
Now that I think about, I don't believe I told you guys how I even used Heaven's Door, what with it's range, and the need to make someone see an image of a drawn Heaven's Door to even activate it. Well it's simple really, it was all done through Technopathy.
With it I was able to move my consciousness to their computers, connected to said computers, and finally I used whatever I could find on there to create an image to make a 'drawing' of Heaven's Door. Turns out as long as my mind, or a copy of me, is present I can summon him there, but I can't summon multiple copies of him.
Oh, wait, it seems like the trial is almost over, the prosecution (aka Nezu's lawyer) is just giving his last statement to the judge, and then I think it'll be officially over. Then I could get back to trying to contact Shoto, which I haven't had enough time to send a copy to him so I can finally connect our thoughts through Telepathy.
Surprisingly Telepathy doesn't have a max range from what I can tell, since I could still hear Toru and Mei's thoughts even when they were miles away, but I do need to physically see the person to make the initial connection.
Shit, rambling again, let's get back to our regularly scheduled dumbasses about to have their whole lives ruined.
"Now your Honor, we have seen repeatedly throught this trial that the Toga's have been unfair parents, who have belittled and ignored their own daughter for the quirk that she was born with, something that was out of the young girls hands.
They have even shown that they are fair from the most respectful people, as they have mocked an insulted not just you, but also their daughter throughout these past few hours. We even have found out that it was Himiko Toga herself who requested this trial over her custody in the first place, as even she, at such a young age, knew that it was best that she be taken out of the custody of these two.
We even had a child psychologist see her prior to the trial, and during the recess, through this we found that her emotions became increasingly negative the more she was around her parents. Can we truly leave a child around such harmful influences?"
Right, I forgot to mention that, yeah they brought in a child psychologist to talk with me, and thanks to my acting skills (maybe even some of Heaven's Doors help) I was able to convince them that around Nezu I was calm and normal, while when I was around the Toga's I acted more nervous and scared.
It didn't help the situation, for the Toga's, that they acted angry and disgusted towards me. So, this case was long decided already, the only reason it's been going on for so long is because of the Toga's lawyer, who has managed to stall for time, but that's all he could truly do.
The judge decided to call recess once again, while she makes her decision on the case. Nothing much happened during the recess, other than Himiko comparing me to Pokemon like Misdreavus and Mimikyu in my head, yeah she's been watching Pokemon more, I think she really likes it.
But, now it's finally time for the judge to give her final verdict on this case, then I can head back home, hug Guts, and watch TV with Tenko.
"Based on the evidence today, I hereby find the Toga family guilty of child neglect, you both will serve three years in prison. Finally, the custody of Himiko Toga will fall onto Nezu, though, for the next six months a child psychologist will visit her weekly to check on her mental state, and see how she is adjusting to life in your care."
Fina-fucking-lly, I've officially gotten Himiko out of the custody of those bastards. Though it seems like some are against this decision, unsurprisingly.
"You can't do this you bitch, that little demon is the one that needs to be punished!" That rage filled comment came from the mother of Himiko, and she looked ready to beat the shit out of me.
She tried to lunge at me, but she was stopped before she could get to me by the bailiff, who I think has a quirk that doubles his max speed. Heh, with this their lives have officially been thrown out the window, and she'll be found in comtempt of court.
Ya know what, it surprisingly feels good to cause so much chaos, and destroy the chances of those I hate. I guess I really was born to be a chaotic sadistic bitch, who will destroy everything she hates with passion.
