My beloved @horrorpostergirl did me the honor of letting me use her OC, Nora, as Jericho's partner in some of his performances. She can't resist a good (or bad) vampire pun, and he's absolutely enamored with it.

10, 16, 20, and 28 (year end book asks)

10. A book that didn’t live up to your expectations

spiritual cleansing: a handbook of psychic self-protection / draja mickaharic

I read a large amount of occult literature and I had this one on my trl for a while and it was such a lackluster and empty-headed breakdown on protection rituals. it's a book I often see recommended as a beginner occult read and I just cannot imagine why.

16. A book you already want to reread

the raven king / nora sakavic

this entire series had me in a chokehold in the two months that I read it but this one was specifically intense and grotesque in a way that I found surprising and engaging. didn't know a book about fake hockey could get me to shiver more than any of my horror reads this year.

20. Best fiction you read this year

the nakano thrift shop / hiromi kawakami

this is close to a perfect book for me. atmospheric, immersive, and beautiful in it's depiction of human imperfection. one of those books I wish I could show to my fourteen-year-old self. my sister specifically told me to shut up about this book because I couldn't stop telling people about it.

28. Did you start any new series?

I started (and finished) All For the Game which I enjoyed immensely. my guilty pleasure reads of the year even if they ultimately were more pleasure than guilt by the end.

[horrorpostergirl]

Nora and her Chaos quirk. Bad things always happened around her, so she shut herself away. As a child, her parents thought of her as just bad luck. School teachers found ways to keep her inside instead of letting her go play with the other kids outside, offering her a coloring book all to herself or a new book in the library.

Her aunt’s family loved her. Yet as she grew older she grew fearful of bringing them her bad luck and slowly distanced herself, keeping away from them. She had no social life. She was just another person born with a bad quirk expected to do their part by staying out of the way.

She was the black cat people avoided.

Maybe it was no surprise that when she found herself in the league, when she found herself able to live freely with people also brought down by the shining hero society, she finally had a control over her quirk she never truly had before.

[ground-zero-idiocies]

I loved that Dad!Nick short it was really cute. I’m not sure if you write for DiMA and if not you could totally ignore this but if you do could I request DiMA’s reaction to meeting Nick and His Daughter Sole? Please and Thank you💚

i'm not gonna cry writing this. no i'm not.

Ground Zero Idiocies Presents: An Extended (Synthetic) Family

"I've never liked boats. It makes me so damn seasick."

Nick gripped his stomach, trying to alleviate some abstract, robotic pain.

"Dad, you're literally a robot now. How are you possibly seasick?"

Nora looked up from her pistol, which she'd been obsessively polishing on the entire ride up from the Nakano house.

"Doesn't matter. Look, we're almost there. Finally."

Nick pointed at a small sign sticking out from a cloud of fog. In faded letters, it clearly read 'Welcome to Far Harbor'.

"They're really calling this place Far Harbor now? That's uncreative. Remember when you used to take us up here during Spring Break?"

Nora holstered her gun.

"Yeah. You never stopped kvetching about how cold it was."

"Wish the weather was the worst of our problems nowadays."

"Hey now, technically nuclear fallout counts as weather. Kind of."

Nora just laughed, walking to the edge of the boat as it automatically docked on the rickety pier. The driverless boat was a Godsend, since neither Nick or Nora remembered that one summer in Jamaica where they'd all learned, and promptly forgotten, how to sail.

It wasn’t the first time they’d been to Far Harbor, but it was the first time that they’d put the two name clues together. Before, they’d been either too seasick or too drunk to notice or care. Finally, though, they were going to set forth for Acadia.

They’d been constantly warned that the road was filled with dangers and creatures from the beyond, so both Daughter and Dad were kitted out to the max. Rifles, pistols, grenades, axes, netherite hoes, even combat armor.

It really wasn’t that bad. The biggest threat they found along the way was a lone radstag pup, that scrammed after a single warning shot.

After a few hours of walking, the pair finally reached the old observatory. Stepping inside, it was...different than they expected. Having worked for so long with the railroad, the two had expected somewhat of a fortress. Turrets lining the walls, armed guards around every corner, and a reinforced structure built deep beneath the Earth.

Acadia just wasn’t that. People, presumably Synths, crossed to and fro around the observatory, taking little notice of the overdressed human and her early-model dad. That was, except for one man sitting in the center of the observatory dome. His large harness swiveled around towards the door, inviting Nick and Nora to approach.

Slowly, they approached him. Walking down the hallway, taking care not to disturb any of the seemingly haphazardly-placed junk.

“Nick. I never thought I’d see you again.”

Nick turned to Nora, confused. He spoke in a whisper.

“I’ve never seen this man before in my life, but seeing someone your own one-of-a-kind mug on someone else’s face is more than a little disturbing.”

Nora nodded, turning to the strange robot.

“Sorry stranger, but I don’t know what you think you know about my robot Dad. He says he’s never seen you before in his life!”

The strange robot nodded.

“Of course, it might be hard to remember at first. Let me introduce myself. My name is DiMA. I’m the...leader...of Acadia. I use the term ‘leader’ loosely, for everyone here is free to make their own...”

Nick, still shocked at seeing a mirror image of himself, wasn’t exactly keen on hearing a sales pitch.

“Cut the crap, DiMA. I want to know why we share the same face. And why I can’t remember a single thing about you.”

DiMA stared blankly into space for a moment before re-centering his focus on Nick.

“My apologies. I am...your brother. We were both created by the Institute, sister models. I was left as a blank slate - no memories, no personality. You were constructed as a reincarnation of a man, days before his death. I helped you escape the Institute. You helped me.”

Nick immediately started to probe his memory banks for any corroborating evidence. Nick was pretty sure that this Gen 2 with delusions of grandeur was just lying about their shared past - all Nick could dredge up was that he woke up in a dumpster, somewhere in Cambridge. Before that, all was a hazy memory - a fact he’d chocked up to a favor from the railroad. An absence of memory meant an absence of trauma.

“Bullshit. I escaped on my own. I didn’t have any help escaping, that much I can recall. The only family I have is my daughter...Nick’s daughter...it’s complicated. And technically I have a synthetic grandson. I hate to break it to you, but you don’t exactly fit into that family tree.”

Seemingly out of nowhere, Nora pulled her pistol on DiMA.

“Doesn’t matter what it is. I’ve been to the VIM factory. I’ve seen your handiwork, DiMA. Family or not, you’re a murderer.”

DiMA slightly reclined, checking his own memory banks.

“I hate to believe you, but it appears to be true. But, know that I feel great remorse. I despise violence, of any kind. Righteous or not. That is something that you know personally.”

Nora lowered her gun. 

“Not to change the subject, but how exactly do you plan on convincing me that we really are related?”

Nick interjected, hoping to somewhat cut the tension.

“I was hoping you would ask that. Please, if you’ll just observe my holotape. It should explain everything.”

DiMA extended his hand, tightly gripping a holotape and placing it into Nick’s. He placed the holotape into a slot on his arm, reading the information it stored in less than a second.

“I suppose...this is not how I expected this visit to go. Here, Nora, you should listen to it.” 

Nick attempted to give the holotape to Nora, only to notice a bullet hole blasted straight through.

“No. No. Not again. That man is a liar, a thief, and a fucking murderer, and I am not letting you welcome him into whatever the fuck we’re still trying to figure out!”

A single tear rolled down Nora’s face, followed by a second and a third. Soon, the bright blue top collar of her signature vault suit was temporarily turned a dark shade, close to navy. Soaked with tears of insecurity and fear.

“I’m sorry that you feel that way, but everything I’ve done has only served to further the interests of peace on this island. All I desire is a chance to reconnect with my family. The piece of me that I thought I’d lost the day I relayed away from the dark aluminum halls.”

DiMA took a long, deep breath. Not like he needed to breathe.

“Seaweed, I...”

DiMA had crossed a line.

“Don’t you DARE call me that. It’s not a word that should ever FUCKING touch your lips.”

“I apologize. I only wanted to...”

“You don’t understand. I don’t care what you want. I don’t care that you’re sorry.”

Nick cut in again.

“Jesus Nora, you don’t even know that man! You refused to listen to the holotape, even! What is with this resistance?”

Nora collapsed onto Nick’s shoulder, soaking his coat, too.

“I can’t continue with this...with the pretending that everything is normal...with discovering some new threat, some new place to save, some new tangentially related person to worry about. All I want is to live peacefully. With you, and Shaun, and peace of mind. And I think...I know...that i can’t allow murderous maniacs into that dream. Is that reason enough for you?”

DiMA slipped away, leaving Nick and Nora in the empty observatory. Suddenly, the lively room was quiet.

“It’s a reason. But what you can’t do is push away everyone who comes into your life! DiMA’s made mistakes, yes. But if I may remind you, you were blasting through dozens of raiders when I saw you for the first time. Well, when I saw you for the first time.”

Nick sat quietly, letting Nora’s tear ducts ran dry. Nick’s had emptied hundreds of years prior.

“Do you want to find DiMA?”

Nora nodded.

“Come on. I think he’s just downstairs. Let’s give this another go.”

[maculategiraffe]

So I'm doing an Institute playthrough, because a) I never have and b) I wanted X6-88 to love me.  So I never joined the Railroad at all, and I returned the runaway synths at Bunker Hill to the Institute, and then I went and got X6-88 immediately and bent all my energies to building affinity with him.

so I just got him to declare his love, and for the record:

things X6-88 likes me to do: mod weapons, mod armor, hack terminals, kill or turn in Institute traitors, talk down human Institute traitors, use my official authority to have official mercy on repentant human Institute traitors

things X6-88 does not like me to do: do drugs, goof off (say "Glory be to Atom!", play along with the robots at Dry Rock Gulch, otherwise act silly or in ways that he presumably considers beneath my dignity), hesitate for reasons of mercy on synths or non-Institute humans, betray the authority structure of the Institute for idealistic reasons

thing X6-88 HATES me to do: betray the authority structure of the Institute for material gain

things X6-88 LOVES me to do: that's an odd one.  Far Harbor spoilers.

See, I reported Acadia to the Institute, cos I'm a heartless Institute motherfucker.  And they were like "cool thanks for telling us we'll get right on it."  And X6-88 loved that-- it was the first thing I'd ever done that he loved, rather than merely liked, and I admit to a rush of emotion at the sight of the notification.

And then the Institute scientist I'd told popped up in Far Harbor with a relay platform and was like "waiting on your order!" and I gave the order and we moved on Acadia, which X6 also loved.  

But then while we were fighting to subdue the synths a little thing popped up saying "Speak to Mr. Nakano" and I was like "oh fuck!  Kasumi!"  So I reloaded my saved game so I could get Kasumi back to her house before reclaiming the runaways, because I figured even my dick pro-Institute Sole who considers synths property and their desire for freedom a programming flaw would balk at getting a human girl killed in the crossfire.  

But Kasumi was insisting on "seeing things through here" before going home, so I went to DiMA and was like "OK let's finish this questline" and, as is his wont, he was like "yeah that horrible thing I did that I couldn't bear the memory of, I think we should do THAT thing again, immediately" and I was like "yes yes whatever I don't care about synths or Children of Atom either one, by all means let's murder the latter and repurpose the former"--

--and X6-88 LOVED that.

I mean, it's probably the third most ruthless thing I've done in the course of this playthrough, and X6-88 wasn't there when I recall-coded the Bunker Hill runaways, or presumably he would have loved that too.  But it also doesn't actually serve the Institute's purpose-- it's completely tangential thereunto-- which makes me think X6 loved it sheerly for its ruthlessness.  For me demonstrating that I don't give a shit about synths and see them as merely tools and pawns.

(Which makes me want to write a fic where DiMA floats his plan and X6 is like "ha, nice!" and DiMA has a Your Approval Fills Me With Shame moment and realizes how awful the replacement idea is and how he's more imbued with Institute ideals than he ever realized and unwittingly he's been repeating the cycle of dehumanization.  And he gathers all the synths of Acadia together and confesses what he did to Captain Avery and they all weigh in like "whoa, that's fucked up, so that's what actually happened to Jane?" and DiMA is like "I'm no better than Them, I am no longer worthy to be your leader, I shall diminish and go into the west" and eventually they're like "OK drama llama, let's not get carried away, you're still one of us" and him and Faraday smooch, of course. )

So then we did DiMA's awful plan and I got Kasumi home and then went to the Institute scientist and gave the order to move on Acadia and as coursers and assault troops relayed into Far Harbor X6-88 with stars in his eyes was like, "Sir, do you have a moment?" and I was like "Absolutely I do, my ice-hearted murder son"

and THAT'S why Nora Bowman couldn't handle having X6-88 around until very recently and after a bunch of shit had transpired on all sides, because god DAYum, X6

Adult Anime Director Tatsumi Helms Peter Grill and the Philosopher's Time TV Ecchi Anime (NSFW)

  Peter Grill and the Philosopher's Time will premiere on Tokyo MX and other TV stations in Japan from July 2020. Seven Seas Entertainment has licensed the manga series in North America and describes the series as:

  Upon winning a fighting tournament and being crowned the world’s strongest warrior, Peter Grill discovers a downside to his newfound fame. Women of all species, from ogres to elves, are scrambling over each other for his seed to ensure they have the strongest babies possible. Poor Peter just wants to settle down with his lovey-dovey fiancée, but he’ll have to outmatch, outwit, and outrun a harem of very determined monster girls to do so!

Build it back up...or tear it down

A/N: A part two to my first BNHA OC drabble, When your foundation crumbles. It introduces yet another OC of mine. Well, two more technically. I may make this a full on story.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If she was being completely honest, Nora could very well see why people would not like her. Especially when she opened her mouth about her feelings towards heroes.

All the college student wanted was to buy some some yakisoba noodles, maybe a few vegetables, and more coffee. The true essentials of a student trying to survive. Yet a pro hero’s presence in public, mainly just walking down the sidewalk on patrol, was enough for everyone to make going to the store difficult. Her brow twitched and her stomach growled. 

I just want noodles. Delicious, instant noodles.

She forced a smile and politely wiggled her way through the crowd of fans.

“Excuse me- Pardon, sorry- Just trying to get through-”

“It’s Mount Lady!”

A ugly groan escaped from her throat. “Oh who cares?!” Then she became painfully aware of the horrified and disgusted looks she received but she was too tired to really care. Coffee. Noodles. That was all on her mind, not some hero that took more care to pose for the camera than care in actually capturing the villain. Yeah yeah, you beat up the bad guy but at what cost? Oh wait, as long as you get a paycheck and some publicity you don’t care.

It had been a little while since the appearance of the infamous Hero Killer, and his so called defeat. Nora had always held distaste for heroes, and Stain’s words did more to further her disgust for them. These days, heroism felt more like a way to get fame and money. Whenever she saw a hero posing for the cameras, she wanted to gag. It didn’t really help that the exam for the top hero school was extremely biased. Flashy, physical quirks were almost guaranteed to get you a spot.

It was obvious that this world had a gold standard over who would be a shining hero or not, and cared nothing for conviction or dedication. Nora simply didn’t want to be a part of that.

She finally made it into the store, huffing as she stocked up and got what she needed. A sympathetic clerk gave her a smile seeing the telltale eyebags that screamed she was up all night studying and writing out a 8000 word essay. Mentioned eyebags made her light grey eyes look slightly manic. Her plum colored hair was curly mess as usual, lazily pulled back in a half up half down style though several unruly strands fell out. She got in and out quickly, aiming to head quickly back to her studio apartment.

Countless times she had been offered by her cousin’s family to live with them. It would be the smarter thing to do, and less lonelier but Nora found herself used to being isolated, and didn’t mind living on her own. She called her uncle twice a week to let him know she was okay considering the area she lived in, and her cousin always spammed her messages of either memes to make her laugh, or rambling about her latest metalwork.

She wouldn't mind living with them, but then again Seiren and her father had so much sunshine and energy in them despite the punk biker aesthetic they held that it should be illegal. 

As she climbed the stairs to her studio, she narrowed her eyes spotting someone waiting outside the door. Upon getting closer, and see the person spin around to face her, she sighed recognizing who it was.

A few inches taller than her, with long dark brown hair and doe sky blue eyes. It was her little cousin, Seiren. 

“Ren, whatcha doing?” Nora had only glanced at her as she started to unlock her door. “I wish you would have told me you were coming over, I would have picked up-” A barely audible sniffle caught her attention and she looked at Seiren again. The fifteen year old had her head down, and it finally clicked to her that the girl wasn’t as cheerful as she usually was. She bit her lip, and opened the door. “Come in, I’ll get you some cocoa.” The girl nodded at that, and Nora ushered her in before following after and locking the door.

She set her groceries down, putting the refrigerated items away, and started the kettle while Seiren sat on the couch. She heard more sniffling and Seiren kept rubbing at her eyes. Nora bit her lip once again, and moved to sit next to her. “What’s going on Seiren?”

She stayed quiet, starting to wring her hands, and Nora had half a mind to call her uncle to see if there was anything she needed to know. Though if Seiren had gone out of her way to talk to her like this, it had to be something serious. 

“...you were right about heroes.” Seiren weakly said. 

Nora blinked. The day Seiren got her acceptance letter into UA, the girl was beyond happy and energetic. She felt tired just watching her run around the place in excitement. Though Nora herself didn’t care for heroes, she begrudgingly supported her cousin, since she knew Seiren genuinely cared about people, and would be a hero for all the right reasons. Hearing her admit to what she denied for so long was a bit haunting.

“What brought this on?” 

Seiren didn’t verbally respond. She reached into her messenger bag, and pulled out a folded news article. Nora took a hold of it and saw it was on Stain. Before she could comment, Seiren looked up and she saw her watery eyes. “I recently had my internship. One of the offers I received after the festival...and it really opened my eyes.” She wiped her eyes. “Lionskin. You know him, right?”

Nora vaguely recalled that name. Lionskin, a pro hero whose quirk was Nemean Lion. He could turn into a monstrous lion with impenetrable fur, and when not walking around like that, he was a very handsome man with golden locks and dark amber eyes. He was certainly a favorite among hormonal fans due to said looks and aesthetic. Now that she thought about it, she remembered her uncle telling her about it.

“Seiren caught Lionskin’s attention at the sports festival. He sent her an offer, and you know how he works in the rougher district. Seiren wants to work in a tough area when she makes it as a pro hero, so she accepted! I’m so proud of her.”

“You interned with him, right? What happened?” Nora asked assuming something went wrong at the internship. Maybe she saw something that upset her while patrolling with him...but with the Stain article she was starting to put together it was something more.

Seiren looked miserably at her. “He isn’t a real hero...all he cared about was- He didn’t- He doesn’t care about people. Just fame and reputation. And with everything that happened with the Hero Killer…it just- it just opened my eyes.” Her eyes started watering again. “I hate the system. It makes me sick, it’s not fair that people who don’t care about anyone but themselves get to be heroes, they can call themselves that when they’re the furthest things from being a hero! B-But I still want to be a hero, I still want to be a good one, but how can I when- when-” 

Nora’s hands shot out and grabbed her shoulders. “Breathe.” Seiren sniffed and took a deep breath. The older woman sighed and pulled the girl in for a hug, feeling her heart going out to the young girl. 

“He called me naive...said that with heroes around, that should be plenty of inspiration for people to not mess up. He didn’t care for people who struggle, I asked about the prevention of the creation of criminals and he didn’t care...I don’t want to be a hero if that is what it means to be one now...All Might is just distracting everyone from things because he’s number one and a good hero.”

Well, you’re not wrong. People say we live peacefully because of All Might, so heroes don’t see the need to really care. Nora thought to herself. Seiren squeezed her arm.

“I thought about leaving UA.” Nora froze and looked down at the girl. “B-But deep down, I still want to be a hero, I don’t want to disappoint my classmates, dad, mom...you.” Seiren looked up at her. 

Nora ruffled her hair. "Seiren, you could never disappoint me. You've always been more like a baby sister to me. Do you drive me nuts sometimes? Yes, but I could never be disappointed. Your feelings are valid. And if you want to not be a hero, I will support you. But I know you. You want to be...well a real hero. You would be more upset if you left that path. If you gave up without giving it a real shot." 

"But what if I turn into someone like Lionskin?"

Nora snorted. "You won't. You're too cheerful, I mean who walks to school, or to the grocery store, singing Mr. Blue Sky and dancing all the way?" Seiren blushed in embarrassment. "And you know how ugly hero society is. You can do everything in your power to avoid contributing to it by being the hero you want to be.”

The kettle went off, so Nora went to go fix them two cups of cocoa. By the time she came back, Seiren was rubbing at her eyes, which were still puffy and red, but smiling a little. "You know, for someone who hates heroes...you've always been one to me. You always know what to say."

Nora set the mugs down and ruffled her hair again. "Its called I'm your family.”

"I've always looked up to you though. You always seem so cool…"

Nora definitely wouldn't mention she bumped her hip on the edge of the table last night, and sprawled out on the floor for a good five minutes. “Well, glad to know someone thinks I’m cool” She said with humored tone. 

They chatted a bit more, this time focusing on lighthearted topics. Seiren talked about her classmates, and the other students at UA. She also went on to say that she was making great progress with her quirk, and that maybe in the future the weight limit she had won’t be a problem. Nora of course jokingly asked if there was a boy she liked, and Seiren immediately tried smothering her with a pillow. 

When the cocoa was all but gone, and Seiren’s tears were dried and there was a real, genuine smile in her eyes and lips, it was getting late. 

“Alright, get your butt home. Gimme a hug first.” Nora squeezed Seiren into a hug, and watched as Seiren left with a promise to text her she was home safe. As she closed and locked the door, something began twisting uncomfortably in Nora.

The video that had been lingering in the back of her mind for a while started to make itself more prominent. 

“He enrolled in a private hero high school but was disappointed in the fundamentally depraved view of heroes taught by the educational system.”

“Someone must be dyed in blood...I must take back what it means to be a hero!”

She shook her head at herself. She already knew Stain was right about many things on hero society, but to hear about it firsthand from her cousin. To see Seiren’s spirit broken like this...her grip on the doorknob tightened until her knuckles turned bright white. I wonder why I encouraged Seiren to stay a hero…

Because she can be a real hero. You know it, and you want her to succeed in her dream. You on the other hand…you were never destined to be a hero. Ever since that accident in elementary school...that sense of being shunned by your parents, your peers. This society let you down from the start, and now it hurt the one person you love more than anything. So what are you going to do Nora? Continue your studies, pretend to be an average citizen and ignore your quirk...or do something about it?

She thought about it, and let go of the door knob. Clear the false heroes out of here, and make room for the real ones...tear down the society that has a  biased view of what heroes were…

Huh…

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nora found her thoughts continuing in her head. It was like a broken record, and the more it repeated, the more she started to nitpick internally at everything she saw daily. Her quirk, despite the control she managed to gain over it throughout the years, started to act up. As if reacting to how she felt, and she found herself glancing at her hands quite often, voluntarily letting the wisps of violet energy trail around her fingers.

She had to start doing her breathing exercises again, not wanting to draw attention if people figured out what her quirk was doing in response to her emotions. However things really began to unravel when she made a turn into an alley.

A luscious golden mane of hair, amber eyes, and a tall muscular figure. Hands with sharpened fingernails. A cocky smirk.

The Pro Hero Lionskin.

He was surrounded by beaten down thugs, and he was stretching his arms out. It was probably little effort for him to dispatch the thugs. When your quirk gave you the ultimate defense in the shape of a monstrous lion, fighting probably came easy. Nora found her feet starting to move towards him. He glanced her way.

“Heya there miss. Normally I would say it’s dangerous to be here, but I already took care of these guys. So you’re perfectly safe with me.” He winked but seemed a bit taken aback seeing the glare on her face. “Uh...anyways. I’m going to say it’s safe you’re not a fan.”

“Has anyone ever told you you’re a fake?” She blurted out.

His eyes widened but then he got an annoyed expression. “Oh, great. Please don’t tell me you’re one of Stain’s followers. The dude was working both sides of crazy street and now he practically has a cult.” He shrugged and turned to face her fully. “The whole real hero thing comes from people who read too many comics as a kid. A job is a job. People become heroes for the pay and fame, because who wouldn’t want to be seen as amazing? That’s reality. People who work their asses off for little to no compensation are just stupid.” He narrowed his eyes at her. “So yeah. I enjoy being a so called fake hero if it means I get what I want out of life. I don’t know why people like you are so uptight over it. I mean, criminals are getting thrown behind bars either way.”

He made a move to walk past her but she stepped in his way. “What about when a young hero student asked how to make things better? What happens when you want to discover why people become...well that?” She pointed to the knocked out thugs. “Do you just not do anything, because you work for a paycheck?”

Lionskin really looked irritated now, his amber eyes flashing and  his lips pulled back in a snarl, showing sharpened canines. “Listen lady, you’re pissing me off. I got to let the cops know where I’m at so they can haul these low-lives to jail. If you don’t shut up, you can go with them.”

“I can, can I?” Nora asked. Her eyes narrowed. “Threatening a civilian because they made you angry? Well that isn’t very heroic is it?” She couldn’t help the sarcastic comment that flew out of her mouth.

His temper reached his limit, and he got in her face. “Listen here. I’m a pro hero, what exactly are you? Nothing. I don’t care who you are because you’re a nobody. You can sit back and judge me all you want, but by the end of the day I’m somebody in the public’s eye. You’re just another face in the crowd looking up at heroes like me.”

For some reason, the only thing that flashed through Nora’s mind was her aunt. Seiren’s mother. The kind woman who loved her niece despite her quirk, the one who used her iron quirk to fix things. The one who died because of a hero’s grave mistake. Another face in the crowd...another innocent who was lost in an accident that never should have happened.

The only thing Nora knew next was her fist colliding right into his face. He stumbled backwards, her hands sparking with violet energy, and she heard a loud roar. Her eyes widened. I just assaulted a pro. Oh shit, bad idea. Bad idea. She literally threw herself to the side when a lion the size of a fucking tank launched at her.

She spun around and got a good look at Lionskin’s form. He was...well definitely more terrifying in person than he was on the news. His claws and teeth looked way more lethal a lion’s ought to be.  He growled at her and jumped at her again, and she rolled out of the way again and continued backing up. Violet energy sparked around her hands again, and when he lunged at her again he slipped and ended up skidding on his stomach. She looked at the building behind her and moved away from it, her fingertips flicking out energy before the structure gave out and the wall crashed right on top of the lion.

Nora Nakano

Quirk: Chaos. She emits energy that causes bad luck and disrupts her surroundings to her favor.

She didn’t bother celebrating yet, knowing that the hero’s defense was too good to be taken down like that. Lionskin came through the rubble, looking roughed up but not injured at all. He started to stalk around in a circle, and Nora didn’t take her eyes off him. He then roared and lunged at her. This time he moved much, much faster and she  barely managed to get out of the way, and this time one of his claws grazed her leg. She screamed, feeling fresh blood trickle out. 

She threw out another hex of bad energy, and it barely stunned him for a moment. Her eyes landed on a discarded iron chain not too far from a knocked out thug. Quickly forming a plan, she threw out a hex to a nearby fire escape, the ladder undoing and slammed right into Lionskin’s face. He roared out in discomfort and annoyance, shaking his head which gave her a few precious seconds to cartwheel to the chain, grab it, and then hide it behind her back as she whistled mockingly.

LIonskin whirled around, charging at her. What surprised her was his quick shift to human form, and he tackled her to the ground. “That’s it you little freak! I’ve had it with you.” He raised his fist, presumably to knock her out, but he made the mistake of not pinning her arms down. Whether that was his own mistake or the luck of her quirk, she took advantage of it by jerking her head to the side, wrapping the chain around his wrist, and sliding her leg free so she could kick him in the chest.

He shifted again, causing her grip on the chain to loosen due to the size change but that was fine. He tried to jump on top of her but she rolled out of the way and he slammed his own muzzle into the hard ground. She tried not to laugh at the corny chaos her quirk was causing as she flung the chain out, it wrapping around his neck. She then pulled as hard as she could, the lion slipping again as he tried to get to all four paws. His air was starting to cut off, and it wouldn’t take long for him to pass out.

Lionskin shifted back to his human form, giving the chain enough slack for him to slip out and grab onto Nora, slamming her into the ground. His hand grabbed her throat and her eyes widened.

“You little Stain wannabe, you really thought you could take me out?!” His eyes were filled with rage. “Don’t fuck with me, lowlife!” HIs body started to shift again, jaws stretching out to roar at her face. Nora vaguely remembered one of his special moves was using his incredibly loud roar to stun people, to make it easier to apprehend them. Lions already had loud roars, so she could only imagine how loud he would be. Her free hand blindly reached out, and a metal pipe grazed her fingers, rolling into her grasp. Just as he was about to come down on her, she moved.

And the pipe went straight into his mouth, through the roof and right into the brain.

Invincible on the outside...not so much on the inside.

Nora felt hot blood drip onto her arm so she did her best to shove him off her, his lion form switching to his human form as the light left his eyes. She scooted backwards and stared...realizing fully what just happened.

She had murdered a pro hero. Sirens started to sound, and the only thing she could do was climb to her feet and quickly run.
