Passing Time
__________ POV Beru__________
One year. It's already been one year since anything significant has happened with the Nomus.
During this time. Yori and I have been doing quite well in all other aspects. We managed to perfectly dilute Rewind and even found a way to replicate that energy without the need for my blood constantly.
But we've yet to implement it. We're unsure of the reactions such a thing would cause. We don't plan on telling the public about it. But the people in power are bound to eventually find out more about it.
You can guess that Yori doesn't actually care. He said he'd convince them all one way or another.
Another thing to note, he has already defended himself successfully from two assassination attempts. First was another attack on the laboratory.
In which he swiftly trashed all of the attackers with ease. They weren't even that strong, probably even weaker than the ice guy from last time.
Still, the second attack is actually a bit more interesting. Yori managed to not actually notice it. He genuinely slept through an entire assassination attempt. The assassin was apparently some bigshot in the underworld.
But I really don't see it. I mean, Yori kicked him while asleep and managed to almost kill him. Apparently broke his spine in a few different spots.
It was pretty funny to hear about the story. Apparently, Yori woke up in the morning and only noticed the slowly dying man after he fetched himself a coffee.
Toshinori also seems to be pretty fine with me lately. He's at least no longer as reserved as before. Seems like he's solved his own issues by himself...
Other than that, there were quite a few other interesting events that happened. Like Enji actually being a father, or trying to anyway.
Dabi got prison time(quite a few life sentences) and has a lot of visits with different psychologists, but it's not showing any results.
In all honesty, I doubt it will ever show any results. But that's just because I've seen the guy talk before. Seems kinda too far gone for all of that therapy to do anything.
Enji trying to help from time to time only seems to make things worse. And his wife can't seem to make the situation much better either. At least Dabi isn't reacting violently to her at all...
On a more positive note, Toga actually managed to get into the Hero Course this year. The same year as Izuku actually. It's pretty interesting to see them all try so hard at the festival and such.
She seems to be quite pleased with her new choice of career. Still not really caring much about saving people, but lately, her killing sprees have been getting less and less frequent.
I think the realization is slowly setting in for her as well. I just hope she won't end up regretting that she took the lives of so many...
Well, I never actually grew to regret most of my kills. I still see many of them as quite justifiable. But I would obviously have a bias towards myself...
Nemuri is spending more and more time looking into 'child care books' or 'parent books'. She's openly putting them on tables when I'm present.
If I was an idiot, I'd likely just ignore it. But since I still have at least half a brain cell left intact I can somewhat deduce that she's planning to have a child at some point.
I guess it's normal. She's slowly but steadily approaching her thirties, most women at that age either already have a child, or plan on having one.
I'm still wondering how I should actually propose to her... Or if I should at all. I mean, I do love her. But I sometimes get the feeling that our relationship is tough on her sometimes...
Like the fact that I don't spend a lot of time with her. I do often go on dates with her, but she'd love to spend all of her free time with me.
Unfortunately, I always have my schedule full.
Whether it's another night at the bar with the boys(Snipe, Nezu and Nao), a night at the lab with Yori(also drinking, but in a different setting, and likely also thinking about lab stuff), spending a night at Inko's or with Toga, I always find myself busy with things.
It honestly hurts to tell her that 'I can't'. The look of disappointment on her face is kinds of like a needle prickling at my heart.
Sounds melodramatic, but it's a good enough description of what I feel when I make her sad.
Well, I guess not all things are perfect... Like the fact that I've completely lost all contact with my clone. I can't seem to get in touch with him at all. And it's not like I can remotely dispel him or something.
Can't help but think that he's getting himself(me) into trouble somewhere in another country...
Thankfully, whatever he's doing hasn't done much to stop my hero fame from escalating to the entire world. I am now known as the 'Representative of all Mutants'. Or something like that.
It's because I am considered to be one of the strongest heroes alive, and because my upbringing was shit. Many find my achievement to prove to everyone that evil-looking quirks, can do a lot of good...
Learning that was also when I learned that, apparently, people see me as evil-looking... What the fuck? What part of me looks evil? I am the most handsome goddam ant-man anyone will ever see!
The countless fangirls I have can attest to that. I've spent a lot of time looking at fanfiction about myself, and I must say, it's pretty creepy...
Well, dunno what I was expecting honestly. I guess curiosity got the better of me for a while. Having people fantasize about you in a sexual way is only fun for a few minutes. Then it gets into the 'I'm calling the cops' zone.
Currently, I'm about to start heading for a meeting with Yori. Well, the meeting will be held among the rich/influential folk in the country.
A really tight gathering of the elite. Yori wants to reveal his plans in that place. And I'm coming along for both credibility and the fact that our partnership no longer needs to be held a secret.
The people that want Yori dead will also likely be attending, so I can already guess who's going to have the breaks of their limos cut. They'll all have such unfortunate accidents...
This is with Yori's approval, of course, he said that it's ok as long as I don't leave evidence. Thankfully, with the number of quirks I have, them being able to pin anything on me specifically is damn near impossible..
Well, I wonder if I should wear a tux...
