20 Chapter 20 - A Stroll Through Town

"Are you girls ready?" he asked,

The girls nodded at him and confirmed as they walked out of their base, they all wore the same dresses that he had given them when they first met.

"Alright now, hold on to me we're about to teleport,"

….

Somewhere in the streets of Tokyo in an empty alleyway, four people suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

*BLEURGH*

All three girls quickly stepped away from him and emptied their stomachs in the isolated alleyway, their once delicious lunches splattering all over the pavement like a Jackson Pollock painting. He couldn't help but chuckle a little bit at the sight. He wasn't really surprised about the outcome, teleportation felt like being sucked through a regular-sized straw. This was the main reason he made their bodies stronger, before when he first got the Quirk, he would sometimes come out with half his body missing.

"Oops, I forgot to tell you that first time teleports usually make you sick," he said, as he handed them some mouthwash and napkins to clean their faces.

"Kinda feels like being sucked through a straw, don't it? But hey! look at the bright side, at least you didn't get torn apart into little pieces. This means you girls have trained really well and aren't as weak as you used to be. You girls are doing fantastic!"

"What are we doing here, Onii-sama?" asked Tara after wiping her mouth, still a little pale.

"We're here for your reward! Not only are we here to see the city for the first time since your release but we're also here to shop everything that you girls want," he answered.

The sickness in the girls' faces disappeared without a trace as they jolted up, their eyes bursting with excitement. It seems the saying that all women love shopping couldn't be any truer.

….

"What are we doing here, Mina-san? We should be home training but instead, we are at a shopping mall? This isn't manly at all!" said a red-haired boy as he walked,

"Oh, come on Kirishima! We need to relax, or we will burn ourselves out before the entrance exam!... And I told you to call me Ashido!" said the pink-skinned, pink-haired girl walking backward beside the boy.

"By the way! I LOVE what you did with your hair! It looks really cool!"

"I don't see why th- Oof!"

"Kya!"

The red-haired boy quickly looked down to see a small cat girl he had mistakenly knocked over. He extended his hand to help the girl up.

"I'm- Woah!"

Suddenly, a hand grabbed his wrist before lifting him up in the air. He came face to face with a tall, long black-haired teen, he could feel daggers being glared at him from behind the pitch-black sunglasses on the teen's face.

"Apologize before I break your spine, boy!" he growled,

"I-I-I'm sorry! It was an accident!" the boy was caught off guard with such sudden aggression and hastily apologized.

His wrist was let go and he dropped to the ground on his butt.

…

"Let's go, there's still much to do," Styxx said,

"I know it's your first time out but don't forget your training and don't be afraid to body others to the ground, Bast-chan, you are strong."

Bastet clung to Fenrir as she shyly nodded her head.

"You didn't have to threaten the boy like that, Onii-sama," Tara said quietly,

"Did it not make me sound like an older brother protecting his little sister? I thought my act was quite good," answered Styxx,

"I believe it was a bit overprotective, Onii-sama. Dial it down by %25," said Tara,

Tara and Styxx walked side by side as they had the same cold and calculative faces and talked about the best show of emotion while in public. It wasn't that Tara had suddenly become cold and unfeeling but has picked up Styxx's bad habit of not showing emotion on his face, something she has stopped her sisters from picking up but never realizing she picked it up herself.

"Nii-Nii! Look at that!" Fenrir exclaimed, pointing towards a shop window.

They all turned to look and saw that it was a Hero figurine shop, right in the shop window there were 10 different figurines of one person, Killshot. They hurried over to the window to get a closer look.

"Woah~" they all exclaimed in wonder,

"That's new," Styxx added,

"Amazing! They have a figurine of yo-," Tara quickly blocked the mouth of Fenrir before she could finish that sentence.

Tara gave her a look as she took her hand and Fenrir realizing her mistake, she mothed the words 'Sorry'.

Glancing at their older brother hoping he wasn't mad, they realized he wasn't even paying attention or just didn't care that Fenrir almost spilled his secret. He was too focused on the figurines displaying himself in all kinds of weird and heroic/cool poses he was sure he had never done. Killshot hardly interacts with the public but the few times he did, were all displayed right before him.

The time he stopped a falling car from crushing a group of children, or the one where a young lady was stopped from getting raped, it even had the placement of where his laser pierced the villain's body. But the biggest of them all, was from his first appearance when he fought the group of the Top 5. It depicted All Might's punch stopped without Killshot even moving while he held Mirko's leg on the other, three cloaked figures standing behind him.

Realizing that he never disguised his hair, his platinum streaks that went down his hair slowly turned into zigzags. Now, it looked like his hair had white lightning bolts going down instead of straight lines. The girls noticed the change but didn't say anything.

Just then, an old man in his 80's slowly made his way out of the store and towards them.

"Is there any way I can help you, youngsters?" The old man asked politely,

"Is everything to your liking?"

Styxx grinned when he turned to look at the old man.

"You know, I never forget a face," said Styxx matter-of-factly.

The old man chuckled with a sparkle in his eyes that wasn't there before.

"I'm sure you don't, young man,"

Styxx smiled at the old man before turning to look at the glass.

"Tell me, old man, why does 'Killshot' have a figurine? Isn't he an infamous vigilante and mass murderer? Surely he doesn't seem to be a Hero's toy material," asked Styxx, never taking his eyesore the figurines.

"Who said he wasn't a Hero?" the old man questioned back with a smile.

"Is he not?" Styxx shot back,

"Maybe to the government and the Hero Association, he isn't, but… to those he saved, to those whose families and friends were avenged by his swift elimination of evil, you can bet he is a Hero to them," the old man said,

The girls found themselves nodding and agreeing to the man's words. Tara had been quietly looking at the conversation and it didn't take a genius to figure out the old man and her Onii-sama might know each other, even though both of them were being very vague about it. To the outside though, it looked like a store owner or employee was talking about the merchandise to a customer. Questions kept running through her mind, trying to figure out the connection between the two but she still came up blank. The other girls obviously didn't care and were whispering to each other about which figurine was the best.

Styxx closed his eyes and took a deep breath before whispering to himself,

"Is that so?
