Chapter 20: Secrets and lies
February 14th 3:00 A: M
Emily is on the dark and quiet street where it's pretty much abandoned
Emily walks up to someone and hands them a box
The guy looks through and finds the necklace from Ichiro
"Good job the challengers would love to 'auction' this off any losers if you know what I mean," the guy said and picks up the necklace
The guy touched the necklace and looked at Emily with a pissed-off face
"This shit is fake. What the hell we had a deal?" The guy asked
"It wasn't supposed to be fake," Emily says
"My quirk is to tell if the jewelry is real or fake. This ain't even gold," The guy says
"This was specifically from Ichiro himself and was handed to Elliott to me," Emily says
The guy puts a gun at Emily's head
"Either you give me the necklace or you die," The guy said
"Try me bitch," Emily says the guy fired a few shots and Emily moves away in time
Emily karate kicks him in the shin and slices his
The guy was carrying a back of money
Emily stabs a card in his neck and sprays paint his face with pink paint
"X marks the spot get it cause I sprayed an x on his face nobodies around," Emily sighs to herself and turns her necklace
Magic Mike is here
Meanwhile
"Woah no way that's Magic Mike the Magic Mike I want to ask for her autograph but I should get this on video to show to the cops," a brown-skinned girl with black sky blue ponytail says
What made the girl so noticeable was how unique her hair it had black and blue natural curls in a ponytail
(Sounds so pretty)
The girl records this
"Hey y'all it's Songwriter Skylar here and I have video proof of Magic Mike in action wait a minute look at the card that is crazy I got to get the cops wish and pray y'all," Skylar says
"Hey who was that?" Magic Mike says and turns to see Skylar looking at her
Skylar takes out a book and licks a pen then writes something down
Magic Mike was about to throw a card at her neck but then she was frozen
Skylar rips out the page and throws it at Magic Mike then runs off
'That chick must've called the cops there's got to be a way to move before they come,' Magic Mike thinks
A cat comes from the dark and plays with the paper
The cat accidentally ripped it and Magic Mike was able to move Magic Mike flew off before anyone else saw
12:00 A.M. in the morning
Angela was patrolling around a block just in case some criminals were nearby
Angela was walking past a window full of TV screens
"Good morning Tokyo and happy Valentine's Day. Today is to express your love any way you want to." Sakura the news anchor
"Come on Today you not only get to express your love but also confess to them here are some heroes with some Valentines," Haru like the other news anchor says
"Hey Mirko do you have a Valentine," The news reporter asked
"Of course, not Valentine's Day is for losers," Mirko says
"Well of course you would think that cause you heartless bunny girl. My valentines are my two younger sisters who mean the most to me," Angela says
"Who?" Mirko asks
"Are you deaf I said my two younger-" Angela was interrupted
"Asked?" Mirko finished and Angela was pissed
"Bunny girl," Angela says
"Angelic Bitch," Mirko says
"Okay please cut off the camera because I'm gonna turn this ho into rabbit stew," Angela says
"Okay, what about you Hawks? Do you have a Valentine?" The news reporter asks
"Yeah I know this girl out there but I don't really think they would really like to be my Valentine," Hawks says
"Oh, really who's the lucky girl." The news reporter
"Well it's better to leave it a mystery than to just throw it out there," Hawks says
"Well I suggest whoever your secret admirer is you should confess," The news reporter says
"Hey E if your listening out there I just want to know if you would like to be my secret admirer," Hawks says
Angela's wings pop out
'Did Hawks just ask me to be his Valentine?' Angela thinks starting to blush
'Stopcaringstopcaringstopcaringstopcaring,' Angela thinks all at once but for some reason, she just starts blushing even more
"Why the hell is it so hot outside," Angela says out loud
'Come on maybe he has another friend who starts with an E there's no way someone like him could like a girl like me. We just can't be together,' Angela thinks shaking her head
"Ouch," Someone says and falls to the floor
Angela turns around to see a girl in a hoodie on the ground including her book
"Oh sorry did I hurt you?" Angela asks
Angela Touches the girl's hand and her eyes go white
Vision sequence
"STOP CALLING ME MOTHER," Avery shouts
"Please don't hurt me," kid Emily plead
"I wish I could've protected you," Emily cried
"Your dead because I couldn't save you," Emily cried
"DIE YOU STUPID BITCH," Avery says banging Emily's head into a sink
"ROT IN HELL," Avery yells punching Emily
"you will always be a villain," Avery says
"Please don't do this to me," Kid Emily cried
"Don't kill me please don't," Kid Emily said weakly
"I'm sorry I wasn't a good enough daughter for you," Teenage Emily says slamming the front door
"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you," Emily cried in her bedroom
"I WANT TO DIE WHY CAN'T I KILL MYSELF," Emily yells at herself pointing her knife at her neck
"I'm such a loser," Emily says looking at herself in her bathroom mirror
"Emily Sheresko you have been chosen to become the pro hero Angela," Elliott says handing Emily her hero license
Vision sequence over
The girl's eyes as she backs away from her
"Wait a minute your songwriter Skylar," Angela says pointing at the girl
"Get the hell away from me," The girl says running away and leaving her book
"HEY WAIT YOU FORGOT YOUR BOOK," Emily shouts at the girl but she just kept on running
Angela picks up the book and reads the front cover
The words Diary was written in front while the name Skylar Knight was engraved
"We have news that Netflix's famous American show 'Amiss' the last episode of Amiss is finally out and here in Japan," Sakura says
"I can't wait to watch it I'm already hearing great reviews about it," Haru says
"Hey no spoilers I want to see it for myself," Sakura says
"Watch Later when we get an interview from the one and only Kitty Bank the star of 'Amiss' after this commercial break," Haru says
A commercial starts playing
"Well at least I know my show is doing good," Angela says and starts walking while holding a Diary
Angela was about to open it but then heard some screams
"Okay feathers put the book somewhere safe while I go see what's going on," Angela says and gives her feathers the book
Angela goes the opposite direction and flew off on top of a building so she can get a better view of the problem
"What the?" Angela says looking down at the villain
People were screaming but laughing as well
"Well look at that I've never seen such stupid looking villain in my life," Angela says
Angela was looking at a guy with black long johns a diaper and some stupid badge
"This is just a straight-up monstrosity I'm looking at," Angela says
The guy takes out a bow and shoots out arrows he created with his hands
Angela sent down a feather blade named ears to listen to what was going on
( note the blade's name is ears because the blade is connected to her ears making her able to listen through that)
Once the guy shoots it at a female and her lips turned black including her eyes
"Now tell your little boyfriend what's up," the guy
"What's up," the Girl says
"No, I don't mean that I mean-…. JUST ATTACK HIM," The guy says
Angela then uses her arrows on his shoulder
The arrow was an electric arrow that wouldn't kill him but still sting
Angela flies on down
The guy takes out the arrow and looks at Angela
Angela looks at him and burst out laughing
"You look worst in person," Angela says laughing hard
'What the? wait a minute I could use this to my advantage,' The guy said
"My name is Dark Cupid known for my amazing taste in style that can hypnotize others," Dark Cupid says and Angela starts laughing even more
Angela stops is suddenly and looks at him with a different aura
'Oh my god did she just switch personalities?' Dark Cupid thinks
"Aw how cute you thought dressing up like this was supposed to make me laugh well….all it did was make me see you in a different way," Angela says
'What the hell does she mean by that?' Dark Cupid thinks
"Well Angela I may have not made you laugh but I can make you my slave take this," Dark Cupid says and shoots an arrow at her
Angela just moved to the side
"What it was supposed to follow your movements," Dark Cupid
"Too bad cause you dead now," Angela says Using her feather knife to stab him in the neck
"I already have stupid cops coming just wait here," Angela says and looks around
Angela flew off and asked her feathers blades
"Where is the book?" Angela asked
Angela followed the feather and found out it was her usual hangout spot
"Okay her name is Skylar Knight so far I know she goes by songwriter Skylar and that's about it…. Oh wait she films specifically at her home," Angela says and starts looking through the video
When the blades talk they sound like a mouse and it comes out as squeaks
*Squeak* *Squeak*
"Yeah yeah I know I could just use Eliza but I could use clues and figure out where she's at," Angela says
Angela then gets a call from someone
"What a coincidence that Domino is callin," Angela says
Angela picks up the phone
"Emily um not only did I forget about it being Zuri and Jazmine's birthday but also that Elliott has been spam calling you," Eliza says
"Why did you keep this from me?" Angela asks
"Well I just remembered everything now," Eliza says
"Cool I need you to find a girl who goes by Skylar Knight," Angela says
"Oh she's your neighbor," Eliza says
"Remember when I had that job before this well yeah I visited her apartment," Eliza says and hangs up
"I never get a break," Angela says and flies over to her agency
"I'm so screwed I'm so screwed I'm so screwed," Angela sings to herself as she lands at the front of the agency
Angela walks inside
'I'll deal with the Elliott thing later right now I need to think of a gift for Zuri and Jazmine,' Angela thinks
"Kana!!" Angela calls out
Kana was walking by and she decided to walk faster
Angela used her feather blades to grab the back collar of Kana's suit
"What?" Kana asked annoyed
"I need a gift for my sister and cousin," Angela says
"One is dead and the other isn't so why not get them a birthday card," Kana says
"There turning 13 I just do that to them," Angela says
"Oh wow I didn't know it was that important- sike I still don't care make something special something that can't be replaced," Kana says and removes the blade before walking away
"Only jealous 'cause she Domino didn't get her a Valentine's Day gift-AHH MY GIFT!!"Angela yells
"SHUT THE HELL UP!!" Kana shouts
Angela went to her only hope
"This is so traumatizing… I need to get a gift for Valentine's Day and my cousin and sister's birthday," Angela whines in 'the quiet room'
Also known as Courtney Jones (Angela's/Emily's therapists) private therapeutic office if anyone like pretty much needs her
"Do you really have to give them a birthday gift and a Valentine's Day gift?" Courtney asked brushing her hair
"White girl privilege- anyways the gift is that for them just for someone else," Angela says
"Is it Hawks?" Courtney teases
"No? It's for someone else plus it's not me I mean even though Hawks hangs around with me a lot, said he like a girl name E, has complimented me, and is protective doesn't mean he likes me," Angela says
Courtney just shakes her head and sighs
"Emily, Those are signs that he likes you. And I still think you should ask him out because the worst that can happen is you get rejected," Courtney says
"Exactly his flirts could only be jokes I mean he breaks hearts like every day all because he plays with them. I don't want to be one of those next broken hearts," Angela says
"I still think you should try like…give him a sign that you also like him back without saying it what is something that will get him thinkin," Courtney says
Angela tried to go back through memory lane and think
"What would get Hawks to realize how I feel without telling him how I feel? 'Birdbear' Angela thinks
*Gasp*
"I used to call him birdbear when we were dating so I made one for him and never got the chance to give it to him before I left," Angela says
"Good now does that give you an idea of what to also get for Zuri and Jazmine," Angela says
"Yeah and it's gonna be the perfect one," Angela says
~Timeskip~
Angela sees Hawks surrounded by a bunch of girls
'Okay maybe not a good time to give it to him,' Angela thinks holding the box
Angela walks past him
'All you have to do is go to the agency go inside the agency and give it to the receptionist,' Angela thinks
Angela when she felt a feather leave
Angela turned around and sees a red feather seems to be spinning around with Angela's
Angela tucked the box in her arrow quiver ( arrow holder)
And of course, Angela sees Hawks signaling S.O.S with his hands
Angela groans and walks over to him with the crowd of girls
Angela grabs his hand and pulls him out
"Thanks for helping E I don't how I would've survived without you," Hawks says
'He called me E? WHAT THE HELL?' Angela thinks
"What happened to Dove or Angel it's much cuter than using the first letter of my name," Angela says
"So you admit you liked it when I called you that," Hawks says
"I never said I didn't like it I just said it was "unprofessional" plus I got plenty of more nicknames that I want to call you," Angela says and starts to walk away
"Is that a challenge?" Hawks asks
"Yeah birdbear," Angela says and shuts up immediately while blushing
Angela then backs up away from hawks and speed walks
Hawks then follows her
"Did you just call me Birdbear? Are you trying to tell me something cause you know I'm still single and would love to go out with you?" Hawks says
Angela stops and Hawks follows
Angela turns around and faces him
"Your the most annoying person in the world and I'll just give you what you want," Angela says
"What is it I was-" Hawks stops when she yells again
"YOU ARE THE MOST ANNOYING BIRDBRAIN OUT THERE," Angela yells at him then flies off
The box fell out of her quiver and Hawks caught it
Hawks pretty much had no words but instead watched her leave
Hawks opened the box to see a half bird half bear hybrid stuffed animal that was terrifying
Inside there was a note written by Angela
Hey, Keigo it's me Emily I wrote this to tell you I still love you after all this time. I know I said I don't get back with my ex but when I'm with it feels magical. I created this terrifying creature as a present to show my love towards you ( and to haunt you).
Love Emily.
"So she did make this to haunt me while I sleep maybe I should get a dream catcher to protect myself," Hawks jokes to himself
Hawks put the note and the stuffed animal back in the box and fly off
Meanwhile,
Zuri and Jazmine were told to come to a certain place where she will meet up with Angela
Angela lands in front of them
Angela bends on one knee and gives them both flowers
"Hey the white one it's not my favorite color but it's cool," Zuri says
"And the blue one is my favorite color- wait a minute that's the same color in your hero suit," Jazmine says
Angela gets up yep
"The main colors in my suit are white and blue which represent both of you," Angela says
"Aw that's sweet," Zuri says
"Jazmine Destiny has been trying her best to fix up her mistakes. And Zuri we ain't gonna talk about Avery," Angela says
"I know but dad and David keep on pushing her away," Jazmine says
Two people come from behind Angela
"Hey kids," Jazmine says
Avery didn't say hey she just looked at Zuri and looked away
"What the- how did you know where did you come from?" Angela asks in fury
"I track you, follow you, and spy on you including your sister," Avery says and that actually makes Angela jump back
"Why do you do those things I'm a normal person?" Angela says
"Yeah but I'm not," Avery says
"Listen up we came to spend time with you as a little birthday present," Destiny says
"You can't deny because we can't cancel you already paid for what you wanted," Avery says
"Where are we going first tell us?" Zuri asks
"It's a surprise," Destiny says
'Okay now that's done time to fix something else,' Angela thinks
Angela flies over to the location
"Rooftop steal," Angela says grabbing the book and flying down
Angela accidentally drops the book
'Oh my god if I can't hold a book how am I holding myself,' Angela thinks
Someone catches it and Angela thought it was game over until she saw who it was
"SKYLAR KNIGHT!!" Angela shouts out making Skylar turn to her
Angela flies down gently with confidence
"I have returned your book," Angela says
"AHHHH DON'T HURT ME," Skylar yells
"What the- I'm a hero kind've defeats the purpose," Angela jokes
"I know that's true I saw you last night you paint-," Skylar says and Angela shuts her up
'It makes sense why she ran away earlier,' Angela thinks
"I don't know where you were last night but I was at home sleeping," Angela says
"You were possibly illegal drug dealing and had money and for some reason had necklaces," Skylar says while shaking her arms in the air
Angela shuts her up
"Listen you have your book now leave me alone," Angela says covering her mouth
Skylar nods in fear
Angela takes her hand away from her mouth
"Are you not Emily I'm just asking don't hurt me?" Skylar asks surprising Angela
"No I'm not that chick my name isn't even Emily," Angela says turning away and flying off
'How did she know I was talking about her specifically and not another Emily?' Skylar thinks
Angela was flying when she realized her gift was gone
"Nothing ever goes good with me," Angela says
"I've returned everything done everything why does it feel like I'm missing something," Angela says while flying off
But then she remembers what day it was
"No wonder it's because it's Valentine's Day," Angela says and stops
Angela lands down and tucks in her wings
'Today is the day to show or express your love. But no one gave me anything,' Angela thinks
Angela sits on a nearby bench
'Wait why do I care now of all times I've never gotten Valentines Day cards, gifts nothing…not even as Emily have I gotten anything on Valentines Day,' Angela thinks
"People think I'm sweet or smart they never complain about me. So how come I've never gotten a Valentine's Day gift," Angela says to herself
'Could it be about the way I look, do people think I'm ugly, do people see me as a ho on camera or do people think of me as a fat loser who sleeps with men? Am I such a loser that people wouldn't even dare look at me,' Angela thinks and looks at some people walking by her
"I don't get it how can someone literally have a halo on their head." A girl whispers
"That's not a halo that's just a flow headpiece," The guy next to her said before the two walked past her
"They obviously must hate me for the way I look," Angela says to herself
Angela notices how there's a flower headpiece on her head
"Hey E- wait that's a weird nickname forget it I just made you this gift," Kenji says showing her the box
"For?" Angela asks
"For Valentine cause I want you to be my Valentine," Kenji says looking away while blushing a bit
"Oh wow he obviously didn't see what me and Hawks been doin," Angela says to the readers
"Sorry to inform you but I only see you as a friend no matter how hot your accent is or the fact that you have chocolates and you got me the most beautiful hair clip I've ever seen," Angela says and takes the hair clip and chocolates
"Yeah I know but I still wanted to give this to you since we're y'know…just friends," Kenji says rubbing the back of his head
"Okay, I might accept this because again this is the most beautiful hair clip ever seen. Where did you get it from?" Angela asks
"I'm just rich so I can pretty much anything I want," Kenji says
"I can't believe you got that from a thrift shop," Angela says
"What the how did you-???" Kenji asks
"Not only is there a nearby thrift shop, but it was also in you said, and it was because this is simply something that I would make to sell for a few thousand dollars," Angela says shaking the hair clip
Angela takes off her hood puts her hair up in a bun and the hair clip in
"Why do you dye your hair black?-not that I'm saying you look ugly in that color I mean you can pick whatever you want I just….. think you look better in your natural hair," Kenji asks
"What are you trying to say I look hot with black hair," Angela smirks through her mask
"No nothing like that just asking why you dye your hair black well at least the lower half which isn't even there?" Kenji asks
"Sure I shaved the lower half of my hair but that was because I look like a granny because of my white hair," Angela answers
"Mirko has white hair-" Kenji says
"We're not talking about her. Look I feel having black hair is normal compared to having white hair. I mean look around and at yourself, I just don't feel normal," Angela says
"Nobody here is normal I mean we have villains, heroes, vigilantes, criminals, and more because life is a full-on comic book there's nothing normal about that," Kenji says
"Sure our entire world is weird but having hair this color will make me seem like a grandmother which is totally out of the ordinary" Angela says and flies off leaving Kenji with more questions
~Timeskip~
It was night and Angela watched the city as the bright light glowed in the dark sky
A full moon was out no cloud just a sparkle that could make you feel like you ascending
"Wow what a day it feels like a lot happened," Angela sighs to herself
Angela turns her necklace and she was in her civilian clothes
"I wanted to give you that stupid gift but I guess I couldn't even do that I'm so stupid of thinking about my feelings," Emily says and just stares at the moon
"Hey I just want to say thanks for everything dude at least I understood what love was," Emily says
Emily took off her necklace and opens it
Inside was a picture of Emily when she was younger hugging a boy with white hair and blue eyes
"I may be the only one who knows your alive but at least I know my best bro is still alive," Emily says hugging her necklace
"I love you Touya," Emily says
Bonus extra
11 years ago
"Hey Emily what do you want to be when your older," Touya asked
"An Actress and a singer," Emily answers
"Why you can't do either of those?" Touya jokes
"Whatever TT I just well want to look up the moon and tell myself that I've done it and accomplished everything I've dreamt off," Emily says
"Woah that sounds so boring," Touya says
"Don't worry when I become famous I'll say thank you TT for being the greatest friend- No for being the closest thing to a brother," Emily says and hugs him
Present day
"Hey Emily over here," A reporter says
"Yo what's up," Emily says
"Your pretty big in pop culture who is the one person you would like to thank for making it this far," The person says
"Oh of course there are many people I would love to thank but the most important person is my best friend who is dead," Emily says
"Who is it?" The reporter asks
"Well I just want to say thanks to TT and say that he meant the world to me and was the closest thing I could've ever gotten to a brother," Emily says and it was rewinded back
"The closest thing I could've ever gotten to a brother- to a brother- a brother." The tv says as it kept on getting rewinded
"Dabi would you stop doing that? It's creeping me out," Toga says giving him a disgusted face
"WHAT THE HELL ARE DOING HERE?" Dabi yells at her
"I just came back from the most amazing killing spree to find you looking at the girl with the most creepy look," Toga says
"SHUT UP AND LEAVE," Dabi says
"God what are you gonna do kidnap her….. oh my god you have a crush on her?" Toga asks
"GET OUT BEFORE I BURN YOU," Dabi yells and Toga 'runs out
"You have a crush," Toga whispers in his ears and Dabi did burn her but just his arm
"EVERYBODY DABI BURNED ME," Toga whines while running out of the room
"Wow she did what she promised," Dabi says
