Chapter 52 - Akane
The girl up there is Akane/Sisley. I actually had the inspiration to draw her because of the condition of my hair that day and viola! I finally drew her! Also take note that she isn't as young as Eri. She's a fourteen-year-old teenager. Enjoy the chapter!
---
Some UA staff are standing in front of the gates of the school as they wait for their guests. Aizawa and AllMight stood side-by-side behind the rodent-like principal as they discus casually about the situation. It's has been weeks when Midoriya last visited Class 1-A and the moment the word got to the faculty, they decided to act upon it.
"Ever since I've laid eyes on that girl, I knew something was up about her," Aizawa said to Nedzu, but the principal only hummed.
"Well, there is a reason I took Akane-chan out of the orphanage," he said and AllMight turned to him. He was about to speak when he was cut off by a car stopping in front of them. The faculty me members all straighten up as the door to the car opens. Endeavor steps out of the car and so as the other heroes that are members of the the top ten strongest heroes.
"Good day, dear heroes. Thank you for coming," Nedzu said, nodding towards them. They greeted back to him and offered them to get inside the school.
Talking with them casually, Nedzu tried to retain the atmosphere as it is to avoid having to catch some information leaked into eavesdroppers or spies. They cannot afford to lose to Nekta Ramirez' or Syren's talent for spying.
Nedzu took them into the office where the rest of the UA teaching staff is waiting. Beside Midnight is a young girl with red hair, tan skin and big green eyes. Akane from what they know originally and now known as Sisly Ramirez, Syren's younger sister.
Beside Akane is Yaoyorozu and Kirishima who seems to be Akane's closest among the Class 1-A. Kirishima is having a conversation with the bubbly mute girl, that seems to entertain her. Yaoyorozu nudged the red head boy to be quiet as the pro heroes enter the room.
"Let's talk later then," Kirishima said, straightening and Alone giggled quietly. The pro heroes took their seats as Nedzu enter and sit on his own, on his two sides are Aizawa and AllMight.
"I see you are all here," Nedzu said with a smile, "So let's start first with introducing Akane-chan. Akane-chan?"
The girl stood up and bowed at them. There were murmurs all over the room between the non-teaching heroes. They compared her appearance to the youngest villain and pointed out how they look oddly similar.
"It's nice to meet you, Akane-chan," Kamui Wood said and looked at her, expecting a reply.
"Sorry, but Akane-chan is impaired in speech. She is unable to speak," Nedzu told them and the girl flinched when they eyed her. Flustered, she looked down.
"So you found this girl in an orphanage?" Endeavor asked and Nedzu nodded. Akane sighed in relief, silently thanking the flame hero for cutting the awkwardness she felt.
"Yes. I also asked how they found her. Left beside an empty house, no memories of anything. Only a four-year-old girl then. Unable to utter a single word so they decided to name her Akane," Nedzu said as Mt. Lady cupped her face with her hand and look at Akane with pity.
"Poor girl."
Akane abruptly raised her hand and turned to Yaoyorozu who gave her her pen and whiteboard. Writing down her statement, they watch her carefully, taking her smile as a surprise.
'It's not really true that I have no memories of anything. I can remember one thing.'
Yaoyorozu and Kirishima looked at her with wide eyes and Alone flashed them a smile as she writes another thing on her whiteboard. Turning it around, they looked shock as some turns to AllMight.
'AllMight confronting my parents.'
"So that really did happened," Aizawa asked, eyeing AllMight who looks uncomfortable all of the sudden. Akane puts her writing materials down and let them say their thoughts out loud. With what she just said, they know she can be bold and brave with whatever that may come. And Kirishima learned that the hard way after he treated her like a fragile porcelain doll in her first few weeks, Akane then decided to have enough and forcefully increase the gravity where he was standing on.
Cl earning his throat, Nedzu then continued with his explanation, "Well, Akane-chan is quite unexpected when I first met her. I thought she lifted a two ton truck as it ascends to the sky, but it what I had almost missed is that the gravity changed for the truck's position. Her quirk is quite impressive."
"So the news about gravity going to the wrong direction was caused by a fourteen-year-old?" Hawk asked. After hearing the initial news about a potential weapon against the villains, he's already curious, but hearing about a probable--which is yet to be confirmed--blood relation between that weapon and one of the recent top villains that he encountered and did business with, he couldn't stop himself from going to this conference.
"Yes."
"And you can't fully control it?" Mt. Lady asked, looking at Akane who nodded, "Unbelievable."
"But that is what UA is all about. Developing raw quirks," Nedzu said as AllMight shifts beside him. He just confirmed that he, indeed, cause a family to break apart and he didn't even know it. He felt a great pang of guilt, "and we would need your assistance, Heroes. If there is anyone who can help us better than anyone else, I know it's you."
"Wait," Endeavor said, raising q hand to stop them from rebutting. He turned to Akane who just look at him, blankly, "I want to know the full story and the oral evidence that this girl is related to Syren."
Syren. That name wasn't new for Akane but she always can't stop the feeling of nostalgia from hitting her. Then she just found out that this Syren is her long-lost-biological sister. It surprised her, of course, however she can't get herself to think of her as a disgraced despite knowing that she is a villain. She isn't a child anymore to not known these kinds of stuff.
"Syren's mother had a quirk that can alter reality and when the government went to take her and her daughters away from each other, she changed everything that includes that," Yaoyorozu said and Endeavor gave her a suspicious glare.
"Midoriya Izuku, a former UA student that became a kidnapped and brainwashed victim by Syren told us all about it. He have split personality; one that is a villain and the other that is still good," Kirishima said as soon as he sensed the question they are about to inquire.
"How come you trusts him? He may be bluffing," Kamui Woods asked and for the first time, AllMihht decided to speak up. Speak up for the hope of his successor.
"Young Midoriya's will is not easily broken. As his mentor, I chose to acknowledge the hardwork he is inserting for the League of Villains' defeat. There is still hope for the young ones," AllMight said, turning to Endeavor, "and despite the circumstances, I know Young Bakugo and even Young Todoroki still have hope in them."
What he said seems to have an effect on Endeavor. Akane isn't ignorant of the facts presented in front of her. That Endeavor is the father of one of the boys her sister kidnapped, that AllMight is a mentor of the three boys that her sister kidnapped and that her sister clearly changed a lot of things by stealing several heroes-in-training.
"Our Intel told us that the League is hiding somewhere by the far side of Tokyo, in an apartment. But we are not sure whether they are still there or if they are indeed those people," Midnight said and they continued to discuss their plan as Akane keeps quiet.
Kirishima turned to her as she stares down on her fist, balled down on her lap. His eyebrows furrowed and looked at the adults talking to each other. Talking about the best way to use Akane for their plan.
"Akane-chan," he whispered and the red head girl looked up at him as he flash her a small smile, "Do you want to meet your sister?"
This made her eyes sparkle and nodded, also making Kirishima smile wider.
"We'll meet her and if we're lucky, we could get her to our side," he said and Akane smiled, gesturing for him to lean down. Raising an eyebrow, he obliged and Akane leaned towards him.
"Thank you."
