章 47: Chapter 47 - Speculations
...
Quickly Nighteye removed his hand from Lena's shoulder, it almost seemed as if he had received an electric shock all over his body. He felt strangely exhausted.
"Don't touch me you weird fetishist!" Lena exclaimed as she slapped Nighteye and moved a few feet away from him. "Touch me again and you'll have no more children!"
Ignoring Lena's twist and the slap on his cheek, Nighteye looked around in exhaustion and relief. "I'm back... I feel like it's been too long since I've been back in this office..."
"Hey, Mirio! What's wrong with you?" Lena raised an eyebrow at Nighteye's muttering. "Is he drunk?"
Mirio simply shrugged as he approached Sir. "Nah, he's just immersed in his thoughts, it happens from time to time."
"Use my Quirk on Oxton" Nighteye explained as he sat back in his chair. "It was... relieving, to say the least."
"Ah, I see, did you see anything interesting sir?" Bubble Girl asked curiously.
'I see... so that's what happened' Lena thought holding a finger to her cheek with a thoughtful look remembering Nighteye's Quirk that was explained in the Nomination. "Your Quirk had something to do with time and sight didn't it?"
Nighteye nodded his head towards Lena. "I have the ability to see a person's future for a certain amount of time, out of curiosity I decided to see what you would do..."
A moment ago when Nighteye touched Lena's shoulder and used his Quirk, her body instinctively went on guard. Almost as if her own Energy warned her that someone entered her Personal Time.
This only generated more questions in Lena's head. 'My Energy can detect other users with Time Quirks?...maybe it expelled Nighteye for me 'Entropic Resistance?'
"And what did you see?" Lena asked cocking her head to the side. "You didn't see my death or anything did you?"
Nighteye shook his head as he let out a small sigh. "I... I don't remember it well, it's like my brain blocked out most of the information... but I remember talking to someone and seeing the sky covered in thousands of crystals."
Lena's eyes widened like saucers before she smiled mockingly. "I see..."
Nighteye narrowed his eyes. "You do know what that was don't you?"
"Why should I tell you?" replied Lena with a mischievous grin. "Women should keep their secrets."
With a blank stare Nighteye asked the question had been on her mind for a while now.
"How exactly does your Quirk work? UA didn't give me any more details, other than you could move very fast and were stronger than most ordinary people... possibly stronger than most Beginner Heroes"
"Wait a minute" Lena pointed at Nighteye before crossing her arms "Are you saying that you sent an Internship Nomination my way without first checking my Quirk or my record at UA and before UA...that's very careless of you."
"I don't particularly care about a speedster's Quirk" Nighteye replied as he adjusted his glasses. "If you can knock out a Villain before he can do anything that's more than enough for me already, think about it, in hostage situations you could take out the hostages or knock out all the Villains before something terrible happens. I have Mirio to deal with most serious situations, but even he can't take care of everything all the time."
'That makes sense... from the way Mirio talks he seems to be like a very versatile Tank or Attacker of sorts, but he can't always become fast enough to save as many lives as possible' Lena thought nodding at the judgment of Nighteye's thoughts. 'He may be a fetishist but he's pretty smart... rather, that's bad knowing he's a fetishist...'
"Now, go do your stakeouts, don't stray too far from the agency and if you find a dangerous villain approach a Professional Hero... although quite possibly Mirio can take care of him, it never hurts to be cautious, got it?"
"Understood Captain!"
"Understood Chief Pervert!"
And with no further mishaps or misunderstandings, both Aspiring Heroes took to the streets in their Hero costumes, looking for any suspicious activity. Lena was especially excited.
'My first patrol as a Heroine!'

Leaning back in her chair and turning her gaze to Bubble Girl, Nighteye changed her tone to a more professional one. "Any recent news about any crime families?".
The poor girl flinched a little under her superior's gaze. Sometimes she forgot how the man in front of her actually was someone who led with the dark side of the Society of Heroes....
"Y-Yes, the Shimada Clan has been more active than usual, we have yet to confirm the information but it says that the Clan Chief, Sojiro Shimada, has passed away and that the Clan is now in the hands of his eldest son, Hanzo Shimada."
"I see... any movement from the Hashimoto Clan or the Chizaki?".
The girl in blue shook her head as she let out a frustrated grunt. "While we know their movements we don't have anything of particular importance... although they seem to be moving less than usual lately... almost as if they are waiting for something to happen..."
"We don't have any information on what's going on among their ranks?" Nighteye asked raising one of his eyebrows. "Any details are important."
"Unfortunately we have nothing, our informants were discovered a few weeks ago, since then they have reinforced their ranks and actively purged those who hadn't been in their ranks for long, leaving only the most senior ones..." Bubble Girl said quietly and somberly, feeling guilty about the death of her informants, who although they were doing it for money and weren't particularly heroic, were still very helpful to the agency.
'We're running out of information... the big 3 crime families suddenly went quiet, with the Shimada's going through a change of Boss, the Chizaki's actively purging the Informants and the sudden silence of the Hashimoto's... something big is coming...' Nighteye thought as he looked at one of the All Might posters before turning his eyes back to his computer. 'What to do...'

<Japan / Shizuoka / 11:34>
"So... what do we do?"
"Observe."
"And... that's it?"
"You want something else?"
As the citizens went about their day to day lives, amidst a crowd of people coming and going two individuals could be seen who stood out from the others, mainly because of their exotic attire that gave them away as Heroes. However, the vast majority of the civilians paid no attention to them as they went about their day to day lives.
These two people were Lena, now Tracer and her 'Senpai', Mirio Togata, now Lemillion.
"I don't know, I was expecting something more like...". Lena began, changing the tone of her voice to a more mysterious and serious one. "We sneak into the villains' headquarters through the hatches, knock out their guards while sneaking into a meeting where the leader of the villains is attending, sneak in, knock him out and save the day!"
"Pfff! No, no, that's what the Night Heroes or Clandestine Heroes do, they don't gain much reputation with the citizens but they help the Hero Society a lot by stealthily taking care of more dangerous Villains" Mirio replied with a smile. "Our job is to watch the shadows that hide from the light of day, and their job is to illuminate the darkness of night."
"That's so cool!" Lena exclaimed as she imagined Kyo infiltrating a building to take down the villains. "So what do we do?! We look for trouble or-"
"We're Beginner Heroes, just observe and if something happens help the best we can" Mirio laughed at Lena's positive attitude as they continued walking peacefully. "Maybe nothing will happen today-"
BOOM!!!
A huge explosion came from a building that was starting to collapse, people around them started running out with panicked and scared faces, some stared transfixed at the scene in front of them.
"IT'S A VILLAIN!!!"
"RUN!"
Lena and Mirio looked at each other before running off towards the scene of the explosion.
"Or maybe if something happens."

A/N: I have finished my exams! So I should be more free, that doesn't mean I'll update every day like before but probably once every two or three days (unless I'm stupidly busy for some reason).
