Nomu's and Parties

After some much-needed sleep, I began making more of Compound V, alongside the other chemicals and cocktails I needed to properly make more Nomu's. Nomu's #2 and #3 helped a bit, but not beyond the basics as I handled the more careful preparation. Then once I had used up everything I had on hand, I began research looking for low-level supe's some whose powers I planned on keeping for myself, and others I simply planned on turning into Nomu. 

One or two I planned on using to try and go for the middle-end types and get an upgrade for myself. That would be the hard part as I had no idea how it happened in the anime, I saw the episode where it happened but not the how of it all. Especially the high-end, the ones who had intelligent thoughts and could strategize on their own and yet remained loyal to Tomura Shigaraki and his group. 

I lucked out and I did find a couple but I ordered the Nomu's to only kidnap them after a few days of passed, I already accomplished a lot in a short span of time but I needed to be careful. It wasn't that I wasn't confident in my own abilities, no it was because the moment I was caught and deemed a national threat or something like that I would have a few of the freedoms stripped of me, for example being able to walk around in public without the police, a super, or even the military based on what they knew of me. 

Over the years I had gathered a vast assortment of powers, combing them all in my body and giving away what I didn't need. This also presented one problem of my own, copying, currently copying my powers was impossible. 

Checking the time on my phone I saw that the Voight party with all those governors, senators, high-up Vought executives, and Supe's was coming up so I stopped for the day. Leaving the rest of the work to the Nomu, and before I got myself all ready for the party I left some food and water out for them, with instructions and hoping to whatever god that they could still read and knew how to prepare basic food. Honestly, if I had to get repairs done because they broke or burnt something, it was going to be extremely difficult to find someone for the job.

Opening up my closet, I began going through my suits deciding which one was best for this occasion, each one was a different shade of black or gray. Mostly because it was the only thing I liked and looked good in. I settled on a deep black suit and tie, a classic and I quickly changed making sure everything was properly in place and that my tie was done right. 

I got back into my car and drove up to New York, more specifically to Vought Tower, after all, I needed to keep up appearances and all that. Parking my car, I looked up at the sky and frowned, seeing the night sky clouded by the light from the city and the tower. That was one of the main reasons I built my home so far from the city, the night sky was always more beautiful with the stars. Especially with the full moon shining down, ah it was a magnificent sight. 

Entering Vought tower, I "convinced" the guards and any other person I needed to talk to to just let me in without any trouble. Normally I would've given them my invitation or showed them the notification I received from Vought but I forgot the first thing and I didn't want to get my phone out and instead try to mingle with the people, even if they weren't the best. Never hurt though to know who I could be meeting with in the future and who my fellow shareholders were. 

It made sure I knew who I could manipulate and what buttons I needed to push to get the effect I wanted. So whenever someone new showed up whether someone was bought out or someone passed on leaving their share to whatever relative they named in their will. Even if I wasn't as good at manipulating as the real All for One, I like to think I was good where it counted, especially with the subtle brainwashing abilities I had. 

Going into eh elevator I found myself with a couple of the other guests, and we chatted a bit but these people weren't really big fish, just normal Vought executives, and not even the kind I would need to manipulate as they held no real power. The elevator came to a slow stop and we exited, entering the party area where people were chatting and talking. Some trying to get the support of a few supe's who were probably popular in their area, and as for why well it was obvious, votes.

They wanted the popular vote and even if the voters didn't like the policies, they would vote for the guy just because their favorite idol said to. It's rather sad in a sense, knowing your leader would be decided just because an idol or whatever said they liked them even if it was a lie. I suppressed my natural smile, one that would've just screamed villain, a cruel and vicious smile, and instead put on a more normal-looking one as I interacted with my fellow partygoers. 

I shook a few hands here and there, making my way to the bar slowly, and ordered a strong drink, knowing that it probably wouldn't have that great of an effect on me or any at all for that matter. While I was taking a sip, I noticed Madlyin talking with one of the senators who was against allowing supe's in the military, something I would've liked to see happen, of course that was so I could secretly sell even the US government my Nomu's both low and middle-ends but in the end I wouldn't have to do anything because both Homelander and Madylin alongside another super would do all the hard work for me.

"Well here's to a good night."
