Rena's Fire Form111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLQRbXdabK
Rena looked at Hawks, trying to gauge if they should disclose anything to Dabi. Just because he helped them escape doesn't mean he deserves to know anything right?
Aviv was the first to speak. “If you must know, then know this… The man back there is planning to create a world where he is the singular ruler. He plans to take all of our powers, destroy the boundaries between worlds, and let the chaos determine who survives in the new world.”
“Whose power is he taking?” Dabi asked, still tense from his frustration.
“The Guardians. Beings who exist solely to protect the elements that makeup existence. For example, I am the Guardian of Time. I oversee and protect all things related to time. If he takes my power he could manipulate time itself, rewrite timelines for individuals or whole universes.”
Dabi was silent. He had heard some wild stories before but this one seemed literally out of this world. He wasn't sure if he was buying it. He glanced towards Rena.
“So how does Mystic Bitch over here fall into all of this?” he scoffed.
Hawks flexed his wings, narrowing his eyes “Don't call her–” Rena held up her hand to stop him.
“It's fine, Hawks.” she sighed “When a guardian enters a realm not of their own, they can bond with one of its inhabitants. This can mask their presence and allow them to roam freely through said realm. I'm the human that the Guardian of Realms bonded with.”
“Right. Is that why your hair was turning blonde a few minutes ago?” Dabi question.
“Wait what?” Rena looked startled.
“I think she started to come out. You were… In a state of shock and I think it made you unstable.” Hawks said, crossing his arms.
“He's correct. I believe seeing the syringe triggered Versa’s memory of when he stole some of her power and it caused her to go unstable. The reaction was forcing you to unbond. Usually, it's the host that goes unstable though.”
“So basically V started having a panic attack and it was affecting me as well?” Rena asked.
“Correct,” Aviv said flatly.
“Right. That's… Not good.” she said looking down.
Hawks looked down at her and his heart felt heavy. This was so much for her to take on with such little support. Where was Sy? Wasn't she supposed to be her backup? He pulled up his phone getting ready to dial her again when he heard a voice.
“Is that Hawks?” someone shouted from a few meters away.
“Shit. Looks like I'm out of here. Have fun with whatever the fuck this shit is and leave me out of it.” Dabi said as he raised his hood and covered his face with his mask. He disappeared into the shadows just as a group of people showed up.
It was her students, the trio they saw earlier that day with Endeavor.
“Oh, and it's Miss Mystic! Hello!” Midoryia cheerfully greeted them as they walked up.
“Oh um Hello boys.” She said with a small wave.
“You look like shit,” Bakugo said flat out.
“Kacchan! That's not a nice thing to say!”
“He's right though Midoryia, she doesn't look so good.” Todoroki chimed in.
“Uh we had an encounter with some villains but I'm alright. Hawks was there to save the day.” She said with a cheerful smile.
“Oh well, that's good! Hawks is the fastest Hero in Japan.”
“Oh stop. You're making me blush.” Hawks playfully said with his fake Hero smile.
“You're weird as fuck, big bird,” Bakugo grumbled.
“Sooo shouldn't you kids be on your work studies?” Rena asked politely.
“We just finished and we're making our way back to the agency. Endeavor shot ahead to take care of some business so we're walking ourselves back.” Todoroki said.
“Isn't that a bit dangerous? There's no telling who's out this late at night. You kids need to be careful.”
“I'll be fine. I'll murder anyone who tries to kidnap me again.” Bakugo said firmly.
“Again?” Rena whispered.
Suddenly, a cackling laugh came from behind the group, causing Rena to freeze.
“You didn't seriously think you could get away from me did you?” Odysseus chuckled ominously.
“Shit” Hawks chirped as he spread out his wings covering the kids and Rena in a protective stance.
“Tch is this the villain? I thought Birdman took care of it.” Bakugo snickered.
“Is a bit more complicated than that kid.” Hawks grimaced, not taking his eyes off the two threats inching closer.
“Ohhh Mystic~?” Ryker sings her name. “Why'd you run? I wanted to show you my new skills. I have something of yours I think you want back. You need it to strengthen your powers right?” he said, holding up her baton.
Rena's eyes widened as she turned around to look at him holding her weapon in the air. “Crap. He must have taken that off me when he knocked me out. Hawks, could you get that for me? I need it.”
Hawks moved his eyes to the weapon and nodded. “Yes. When the moment is right I'll snatch it.”
Suddenly she heard sparks and turned her head to see the boy in their hero uniforms, ready for action. Bakugo releasing sparks.
“Oh.. No.. Boys you need to leave. You can't fight him!” Rena yelp.
“He's a villain and we're heroes. Of course, we're going to help.” Midoryia said firmly, the soft carefree tone is long gone.
“It's just more practice. I'll murder him for you, teach.” Bakugo grunted.
“No, you can't.. Please–” she pleaded.
“Let them stay. Let them watch. They need to see what happens to those who go against the new world and its reigning God.” Odysseus laughed, tilting his head back with his arms outstretched wide.
Hawks, still in his protective stance, started sending his feathers around, making them look like they were carelessly floating but really he was preparing. He whispered just loud enough for the boys, Rena, and Aviv to hear.
“In a second I'm going to use fierce wings to create a distraction to get Mystic’s weapon back. I need you boys to protect that man there. Mystic, I want to tell you not to fight because you're injured but something tells me you won't listen so just… “ he turned to look at her “... Be careful, please.”
She nodded in understanding and he grinned, turning back to face the cackling man.
“You know..” Hawks started to speak, causing Odysseus to lower his head and hands to look at him “That laugh of yours is awfully… Lame.”
“Huh?” Odysseus hummed tilting his head in confusion.
At the same moment, Hawks activated his power shooting his wings everywhere causing a hurricane of red. Amongst the confusion he managed to slip the baton from Ryker, causing him to curse loudly and flew it to Rena. She instantly grabbed it and activated her power.
She had intended to use her Earth magic but her emotions were unstable. She was angry so her fire element took the lead. She tossed her baton in the air above her head and it spun releasing the particles and changing her appearance.
Her hair was a crimson red along with her eyes. Her neck was draped with a dark cocker. Her shirt turned into a red corset on top of a red puffy skirt, dipped in a reddish-orange underneath. Her legs were covered with dark red stockings leading down to her red shoes. Fireballs spun around her as she gracefully grabbed her now staff and twirled it a few times before resting it partly behind her back.
Hawks and the boys just stared in awe. They had never seen her in action let alone whatever just happened to make her clothes magically change.
She looked at Hawks, then the boys, then at herself. “Oh.. Fire. I meant to do Earth.”
“Um Miss Mystic, what did you say your quirk was?” Midoryia asked.
Hawks closed his agape mouth and gulped. “Well shit kid, I guess you really do use magic.”
“You doubted me?” she looked at him quizzically.
“Well no but… just..seeing it is different than I expect. It's amazing” he said starry-eyed.
“Could you two stop flirting? It's nauseating.” Bakugo rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue in disgust.
“Well looks like you're ready to play then. We could just skip all this nonsense if you hand him over. I promise to take good care of him.” Odysseus mocked.
“Like hell, we're letting you take him,” Rena growled fiercely. The fire in her started to burn. Panic was finally set aside and replaced with rage. She tightly gripped her staff, reading herself for a fight.
