Lost in the Fog

How Tragedy Bleeds Reality

Saturday was spent with Sadako for the most part. However, Izuku did take the time to take a visit to a site of tragedy. Not Nagasaki or Hiroshima, but somewhere closer, in Osaka prefecture. There were two major tragedy sites the greenette could check directly. And they were approaching the first, Mikawashima Station. It was the site of a deadly train accident, a devastating three way crash, causing 160 deaths and 265 injuries. It was one of the more modern pre-quirk train derailments he could find. Stepping onto the station, it was busy with people bustling on and off of trains. There were no signs that anything had happened. Everything was cut and dry... but even still, Izuku took precautions. He had built an amulet with the Auris, a device capable of harnessing the power of all seven glyphs, and kept it on standby. It was his only shield, and he would prefer to not use it, but if he had to, he would definitely do so to stay on Earth. That said, as they wandered through the place, he couldn't help but shake the feeling he was being followed. Sadako seemed to get this as well.

"We are being followed. But not by anyone inherently hostile."

"I thought so as well. Keep an eye on them, just in case..."

Mina Ashido, Toru Hagakure and Setsuna Tokage were following Izuku Midoriya and Sadako Yamamura. It was an unusual friendship, born of those who just couldn't keep their noses away from where they didn't belong... and being the hopeless romantics that they are, they were the rumored gossip trio. They even had the habit of bothering everyone is they even thought a relationship was happening, especially the next step in one, was something they couldn't resist. Especially when there was such an open relationship right in their hero classes. Especially when Tokage had been filled in that this was the same Sadako Yamamura from the movie, the Ringu. So, they were all, naturally, curious about the fact that they were going someplace far away for the day. They bought tickets to the same train, and followed.

They were disappointed as they just seemed to be wandering the station, as if looking for something. "Ugh, I wish they'd do something more romantic!"

"I know, right?"

Setsuna seemed to notice that they were now moving on, "They're leaving the station. Maybe they'll go to a... hotel..."

"I don't think they're that far along yet!" Toru whispered as they followed. They went from one bustling train station... to an abandoned one. It was unnerving.

"Well, maybe they like... creepy abandoned buildings?"

"I mean, it is Sadako from the movies..."

They didn't pay attention, but it was as they delved deeper into the station when a fog started to roll in...

Meanwhile, Aizawa, Edgeshot, Hawks and Nemuri were entering Nagasaki. Where Hiroshima was rebuilt and reused, Nagasaki was long abandoned. Many of the stone structures were crumbling and overgrown. Hawks was the only one that didn't know why they were there. Edgeshot was told ahead of time of their reason. "Why'd you need my help?"

The ninja pro hero replied. "There is a high value target that could be hiding here. We just need to check..."

The number 3 fished for information, on his specific orders from the HPSC, to find out what Nezu was after. "I wasn't aware..."
However, Eraserhead, his fellow hero, interrupted him. "Because you are on a need to know basis. We all are, so don't complain."

"Who gave the tip?"

"Unimportant."

Hawks sighed. When UA asks for assistance, preferably heroes who operate in the shadows, the commission notices. Why they want this particular person so badly... well... the given reason was fair enough, but they wanted to know everything. Hawks could tell that he knew more than he was letting on, but decided not to pursue it now.
