CHAPTER START---

---1 AM...

Horizon was sitting patiently behind his desk in his office at Central Hospital, staring at the laptop in front of him.

His keyboard was pushed to the side along with the monitor on his desk, they were usually what he'd use, connected to Japan's medical database and Nezu's supercomputer back at UA.

Allowing him to run simulations and scout patients from all across the country to be sent here, to the Miracle Suite.

Checking his phone he sees it's 1 AM, his private client would be here in just over an hour, he now has all his clients meeting him here and is using the hospital instead of meeting them at hotels and such.

His eyes glance back to the laptop, seeing the files almost transferred out from the data drive connected to the side of it via an adapter.

He'd been careful with this, inserting a villain's hardware into any computer is dangerous. So he bought a fresh laptop and didn't connect it to anything before plugging it in.

He also broke the webcam that came installed onto it, just in case. The last thing he needs is to plug this into his phone or his actual computer.

He's sure Nezu's security can easily handle it, but the risk simply wasn't worth it.

While Horizon sat patiently in his office he leans back and unlocks his phone. He opens it to see the 'Future Heroes' group chat running wild as 1A and 1B students are discussing Aoyama's betrayal.

He looks to the group chat icon, seeing what was the picture of everyone at the summer camp already replaced to get rid of the traitor.

Skimming what the rapid conversation was discussing, it was mostly about people being unable to sleep, even after detective Tsukauchi had rushed over to question everyone else, and the teachers turned the dorms upside down in one more search.

Looking at his direct messages he sees one from Nezu, confirming that there wasn't a second traitor, at least not a knowing one.

He sees a slew of questions from fellow students about the whole situation.

No messages from Sero, because he knew Horizon best among all the students.

And a concerned message from Momo, asking if he was all right.

'I'm fine,' he sends her a fast reply and can't help but shake his head. 'Did you really think diaper boy can hurt me, seriously?'

'Not at all,' her reply was instant. 'I was simply asking how you are dealing with the betrayal from someone so close to us. Some of the others aren't taking it well at all, it's quite a scary thought after all...'

'It really doesn't bother me, I expected this on some level, that's why I wear the visor. You idiots gave him all the info about yourselves and by extension your families, you should be worried, not me.'

Momo types for a while, then deletes the message, then send a new one, 'you're right. I suppose that's why so many of us can't sleep, we're all just here trying to help each other feel safe.'

"What the fuck does that mean?" He asks himself. "Did all these losers dogpile in the common room or something?"

'What do you mean?' he sends her.

'All the girls are having a sleepover in my room at the moment, learning about Aoyama was, a lot.'

Horizon's new laptop beeps as the data drive finally opened up, spewing dozens of folders onto his screen.

He glances back down at his phone to see Momo typing another message and interrupts her, 'hero work, gotta go,' before putting his phone down.

"Ok, let's see what we've got here," Horizon begins sorting out the folders. Finding file after file of recorded audio from Aoyama's belt.

"Recordings.

Recordings.

Recordings.

All useless garbage, Aoyama wasn't around to hear anything critical, and definitely nothing that can hurt me.

All For One had already spread information about Weld making my life annoying, nothing I can't overcome with just one more slash...but what the fuck is this..."

Horizon finally gets to a file simply titled 'Hero Public Safety Commission,' and his interest is piqued.

"What the fuck are these names," he sees dozens of folders within this folder, all labeled with things he'd never seen before.

"Are these all heroes?" he opens the first one.

"Raised and trained by the commission to..." Horizon shakes his head, hardly able to believe what he's reading. "To eliminate Pro Heroes that threaten the stability of society via corruption or heinous acts."

He's taken aback by this, not by the fact that this exists, but by the fact that it fell into his lap so easily.

"Why would this be here, it makes no sense to put this in the belt...unless," realization dawns on him. "All For One knew I'd find this, and he has something in here he wants me to see. Ok, show me..."

Sorting through all the files he sees dozens of Pro Heroes, most not household names. Just people that got into the top fifty and remained there until they retired or died.

A few were compromised and had to be put down by the others, but then he got to the people he could recognize.

"Kaina Tsutsumi, Lady Nagant. Mom was always a fan of yours...she thought it was suspicious when they said you just had a mental breakdown and got into a fight with other Pro Heroes.

Looks like according to this she...holy shit. Killed the previous President of the commission, and now she's in level 4 of Tartarus."

He looks a bit more, finding the final group, the current agents of the commission.

"Mind-Binder, well I remember what happened to him. Chrome, so you were Tetsutetsu's dad, and Shifter...guess meeting me didn't work out very well for all of you."

Horizon leans back in his chair and thinks it all over.

'So when they assembled a team to deal with 'Arsenal', they didn't just send Heroes, they sent a hit squad. If I wasn't there they definitely would have just killed her.

Mom knows too much about too many powerful people all around the world. International pressure to execute here would be too great for most countries to ever stand against.

Having this information from the commission itself is good, I can make sure they lose if they try to fuck me over, but I doubt it'll come to that.

I'm too valuable, they just need to be patient for me to solve their problems, and at this pace by the time I graduate, within one year of that I'll be #1, then they won't have any choice but to hand my parents over.

The contract is held and everyone wins...'

"I definitely can't let anyone know I have this, not until I eventually need a bit more leverage, prove that I can and will burn it all down if they try to fuck me over. Any sooner than that and they'll see me like a rabid dog that needs to be put down...I just need to play the part of a guard dog on a leash for them, at least for now."

Horizon lets out a frustrated groan, "why can't things just be fucking simple, do the job, get paid, and everyone moves on," he signs and continues digging only having one more file folder remaining.

'Keigo Takami,' he clicks it, and immediately freezes at what he sees.

"Hawks," he lets out in a low growl, then immediately catches himself. "No, revenge doesn't get me anything," he reminds himself.

"Hawks...is someone I'll be forced to work with, to play nice with, he's a top ten hero after all, and I'm Horizon, it's inevitable," he closes the file and begins sorting through the other data, sifting through it for anything about the League Of Villains.

'All For One, was that your plan? Make me kill Hawks or something so I end up in shit. Break my contract and get my parents killed, get me labeled a villain, and turn me against the Heroes...so you finally have someone competent on your team instead of the league of losers you're stuck with.

Nice try, but I'm a lot more, practical, than that. The last thing I want is to get any deeper in this Hero-Villain nonsense.'

A simple assessment, but sadly without the key pieces of information he lacks, the pieces All For One builds his master plan atop, even Horizon cannot figure out the vast and glorious scheme.

'Nothing about Shigaraki or his team, or where they make the Nomu, or how, useless shit---' his main computer alerts him of something, pulling his attention to it.

Horizon shuts off the laptop and checks the progress his simulations have made.

"Blah blah blah useless nonsense," Horizon mutters while looking at his research. "Bunch of useless shit about curing mental degenerative disease. Dementia, Alzheimer, I'd have to sink weeks into solving those and they can't even work for me.

I guess it makes sense since my brain patterns are similar enough to someone within the final stages of those, at least for the seconds that I'm blacked out.

But since I'm the only person in the world that can map the genome efficiently and accurately enough to solve it, I'll keep this in my pocket until I need leverage...'

"Alright," he looks down at his phone to check the time. "Time to get to work being a doctor, then just that party later..."

CHAPTER START---

Sitting opposite Yagi in Nezu's private luxury helicopter, Horizon is idly scrolling through some reports on his phone.

He was wearing his usual Hero Costume with his sword resting beside him, while Yagi wore a simple black suit with the left sleeve tucked away. On account of him still missing that arm.

Horizon glances out the window where he sees Hiroshima in the distance, their destination for the evening.

Then looking across from him he sees Yagi meticulously reading a set of flashcards, mouthing the words as he rehearses his speech one last time.

Yagi sighs in frustration and leans back, "I don't think I can do this, maybe we should turn around."

"We aren't turning around," Horizon says. "I already left Tokyo to go to UA to get you, now I'm here just to bodyguard you for the evening, how much of my time do you plan to waste?"

"Sorry, but I just don't think I can go stand in front of everyone, for them to see me like...well," he gestures to himself. "Like this."

"Those idiots worship the ground if you so much as walk on it, you'll be fine."

"But I'm All Might," Yagi says. "How am I supposed to stand in front of them to accept the awards and honors...when I can't even protect myself anymore, much less anyone else."

"Nobody expects people to be heroes forever, time is undefeated in that way, well not for me, but you get what I mean, right?"

Yagi looks a bit confused at that, "what do you mea---"

"Just focus on being honest with them. Despite all the things online about Nana Shimura and the conspiracy theories."

"Not conspiracy theories," Yagi says. "What All For One said was true, which is why it hurts so much."

Horizon sighs, "you golden-hearted types always try to blame yourselves for things you can't control, it's stupid. You saved a lot of people, don't let anything diminish that, focus on that and you'll be fine."

"Easier said than done," Yagi mutters as he goes back to rehearsing his speech.

As they arrive above the city, the skyline of Hiroshima is dazzling under the night sky, but Horizon is looking out over the ocean, to a barely visible light in the distance.

Even as the helicopter lands on the roof of the most luxurious hotel in the city, he barely acknowledges any of it.

"I suppose it's time to make this official," Yagi grumbles as gets up, stepping out as the pilot opens the door.

Looking back Yagi sees Horizon step out, then he begins walking toward the elevator on the roof. Ignoring the pool and lounging area.

He sees three people standing in front of it to greet him, two plain-looking men in black suits, and the woman in the middle.

Around his age, slicked back blonde hair, pearls around her neck and hanging from her ears, and wearing a loose black gown.

"President Pantu," Yagi greets her with a polite handshake. "Always a pleasure to see you, ma'am."

"You as well All Might," she says with a kind smile. " Before we go inside I'd like to personally and professionally thank you, for all that you've done, for all that you've sacrificed...the world is grateful for you, as a Pro Hero and as a shining example of all we can become."

"Thank you ma'am, I only hoped to do good and help others in my time as a Hero."

"You really are the best of us," Pantu gives him a genuine smile. "My men will escort you inside and out of this cold air, everyone inside is quite excited about the ceremony itself," she steps aside and gestures to the elevator.

"You aren't going down with us?" Yagi asks.

"I'd like to have a word with him," Pantu gestures to the side of the roof where Horizon was gripping the railing, staring out at the lights in the distance.

"Oh, I see, I'll go on ahead then," Yagi's voice hid it well, but her words felt like a punch in the gut.

'One minute you're on top, and the moment you aren't useful anymore they move on immediately...but this is for the best, Horizon can actually protect people, while I need someone to protect me now.'

As the elevator closes Pantu looks at the helicopter to see the pilot waiting inside, ready and on standby for Horizon and All Might to leave.

Taking a deep breath to steady herself she schools her expression into an ice-cold mask, then slowly walks over to stand beside him.

She doesn't say a word, simply looking up at him.

Leaned forward, hands gripping the safety railing hard enough to crush the metal, his visor was unreadable but he seemed, agitated.

'What is that?' Pantu wonders as she sees a strange blue energy vapor rising from his hands before it quickly stops.

Her eyes then move up.

Looking from his visor into the direction he was facing, she saw a barely visible light on the horizon. 10km out into the sea, connected by one massive and heavily secured bridge. Precisely 12km from where they currently stand.

Tartarus. The most secure prison on this side of the world, only comparable the America's New Alcatraz.

She's skeptical at first, 'he can't possibly be sensing within Tartarus, from 12km away...that's impossible, he's powerful but not that powerful, right?'

Her skepticism immediately fades as he speaks in a low growl.

"Where are they?"

"Hmm, what exactly do you mean?" Pantu asks.

Horizon stands up straight and turns to face her, his presence strong and rigid.

Hiding the fact that below his visor, below his mask, he was bleeding from the eyes, nose, and ears. His brain felt like stakes were being hammered into it.

That it took everything in him not to sway in place with the wind.

All because he opened a 24km wide room to Scan inside Tartarus, for barely a few seconds.

He could feel his energy levels remaining fine, but processing it, as always, was another story entirely.

"You know what I mean," Horizon says.

Pantu turns away from him to face Tartarus, "tell me what you see then, and I'll clarify," she seems completely unphased by his attitude.

Horizon just growls and turns to face the prison as well, but doesn't open a new Room, "prisoners, lots of them, a scientist of some kind, short, portly, labcoat, glasses...he's monitoring All Fo---"

"That's enough," Pantu cuts him off, not wanting him to delve deeper into the fact that Dr. Shodai Garaki was hired to build the containment unit to counter All For One's many Quirks.

He was their best choice for a Quirk specialist since the only person considered to be above him, would likely be Horizon himself.

He also came highly recommended by many trusted people -who all shared a certain mutual friend-.

And giving Nezu any access to Tartarus was simply out of the question with how obviously compromised he is when it comes to Horizon.

"You've made your point," Pantu says. "I had them moved after the sports festival."

"Why?" Horizon asks.

"Because before then, I didn't realize exactly how powerful you were, I had to keep them out of your reach...you get them out too early and suddenly we have multiple countries breathing down our necks," Pantu says.

Horizon doesn't speak for a while, then says in a calm voice, "your neck, not mine. And you do know I can detect any lies you speak, right?" he lied, still unable to use Polygraph without physical contact, which he currently doesn't have.

He focuses on her expression, but she gives him nothing, until, she smiles.

Pantu smiles at that, confusing him, "no, you can't...because that's actually my Quirk. You should do some more research on a person before you try to bluff them, not that you'd ever find my Quirk on file...and it will stay that way, understand?"

"Mmm, understood," he grumbles out. "You know, I always wondered what you'd be like, the third signature on my contract...and I was right, you really are one seriously cold bi---"

"It's needed for my job," Pantu says. "How have you been holding up your end of the deal thus far?"

Horizon relaxes and simply shrugs, "playing hero is easy for someone like me, I'm sure you've had a team or two tracking my progress, right?"

"Naturally, you're a massive gamble for us. I signed that contract expecting just a doctor, but instead of some crumbs, I lucked into the whole pie...lucky me."

"Don't get too comfortable," Horizon says. "I'll be your superhero or whatever, but it's just a job, nothing more and nothing less."

Pantu raises a brow at that, "and what would it take to make this a lifetime contract?"

Horizon immediately steps away from the railing and leans in a bit closer to her, "since you've got some lie detection Quirk then you'll know how serious I am. If you try to fuck me over in any way...I'll burn everything to the ground, I'll rip Tokyo out of the ground, raise it into the sky, then drop it on your head. Just. Like. That."

Pantu keeps her stone-cold expression, even as Horizon walks over to the elevator and leaves her on the roof.

Knowing she can't let up her facade for even a moment Pantu remains calm in case Horizon was still 'watching' her.

'I need him to help stabilize Japan at least, but from the way things are moving, he'll be the #1 Hero the same year he graduates. I've got just over 3 years to stabilize Japan and deal with this contract situation.

And if I try to undercut him in any way,' Pantu looks out over the city, all the people living their innocent lives.

Lives that Horizon has said he'd snuff out if necessary, if she pushed him.

'I need to extend the timeline of his contract, the longer he stays working for us the better, because we really can't afford the alternative...'

Taking out her phone Pantu immediately calls the Hero Public Safety Commission HQ and gives orders to the analysis and simulation teams.

"I need a full rundown of Horizon versus any available Pro Hero we have, use all gathered intel, and I need a projection of exactly how long it will take for Japan to be stable, League Of Villains as primary chaos catalyst."

"Yes ma'am," the person at the other end says before Pantu hangs up.

"That should tell me how long I need to extend his contract for at least. Honestly Nezu, you just had to find the kind of monster we can't even use a leash on...because the more we use it, the faster he snaps..."
