@rei-kozuki
āHey. Hey. Leave my fellow heroes alone. How about you publish rumors about me? Letās make up some fun stuff.ā
āLikeā¦ I apply makeup around my eyes when I wake up? Not that this is just part of my face. Juicy enough?ā Probably not.
"oh come on. ThatĀ“s so boring. Every hero wears some makeup, you all stand in front of the camera..You know what, if youĀ“re gonna head that route then at least drop some reccommendations. Something fun to talk about."
She sighed. She wasnĀ“t quite sure if this was even enough for an article..Knowing herself sheĀ“d just make a tweet about it and watch a new trend about eyelines spark.
"YouĀ“ll create a trend and an eyeliner shortage if you do, though."
favorite color : Ā hard one- I like black, purples and reds. As well as a nice pastel pink. Usually, this really depends on my mood.
last song : Ā I know you were trouble by Taylor Swift. The nostalgia just got me man..
currently reading : Ā The color of water by James McBride. It touches on racial tensions in the 1960s, on the struggles of a white mother having black children and many, many more things. ItĀ“s a tribute by the author to his mother. I think itĀ“s really touching and an easy read.
currently watching : Ā Gachiakuta
currently playing : Ā Genshin. Guys genshin got me so hard and so good..Currently farming for the raiden shogun.
The two looked at each other before looking at Rei again, they can dye their wings? But they'd floated up a bit to show they were the real deal before gently landing down, they were quite big kids despite looking like young adults.
"We were invited like everyone else, we only really know one person here though, but maybe once this over, we'll have more friends for us to hang out with."
Explained Casper, he as well as Alice, who had gone to get them both something to drink, were using this adventure to see if there were any new friends they could make here.
"New friends?" Her eyes narrowed behind that mask. "So you're also looking for new friends!" Her tone held something enthusiastic, something she had learned to fake over time.
"Well, I donĀ“t quite know anyone here. IĀ“m not sure why I was invited; however, I am enjoying myself. So, IĀ“m not complaining." Rei sipped on her drink. "Tell me a bit more about your costumes." Usually people loved talking about their costumes, so while they did that, she could think about more things to talk about. or new conversation partners to drag into. They seemed a bit too young from the way they chose their words. Not people Rei would usually talk to. "No heroes around here...?" Well, this party was more about creatures than titles or jobs.
Asked the male figure, his name was Casper, and he was dressed as a superhero of his own that he called Demon Ghost.
"Are your wings real like ours?"
Asked the female figure, her name was Alice, she was dressed as a cute jester-girl, her golden wings fluttering as she asked, Casper following upon seeing Alice's wings flutter.
The two were brother and sister, and likewise, guests of Shadow's party, just on the grounds that they'd behave themselves since they were still quite a bit child-like if how they both approached Rei isn't an indication.
"A dark angel, a fallen angel..Something of sorts."
Rei flapped her wings, proving that they were indeed real. Sure, she was creating a bit of a breeze with that, but it was pretty harmless. "And you two also have wings. Golden. Did you use some dye, or is it something else? I think they look very pretty. Can you use them to fly?"
Her compliment was genuine. While it was not so much her taste, it looked good on the girl. She was about to ask for names but it was a costume party. It would kind of ruin the whole vibe. "A jester, and... a superhero." She smiled a bit. Well, that was all that superheroes were good for, in her mind. Just stupid costumes. Even now, she could not get rid of the seething hatred she held for heroes.
"Since when have you been here?" A bit of small talk as she grabbed a drink from nearby, sipping on it.
Heels clicked against the floor as she walked. A dark angel. Her wings were dyed black, and the dark feathers softly shimmered in the light. Usually, Kozuki didnĀ“t exactly indulge in costume parties or anything like that. This time, it was different. She had a fitting mask, obscuring her face. Of course, there were bird motifs on it, the same dark feathers on her wings on the mask together with some golden elements. And...to compliment everything, a sleek black dress. It wasnĀ“t very creative, but Rei didnĀ“t want to put too much effort into the costume. The wings were the highlight anyways. She could move them, fly around (of course, these were literally her limbs), and...Catch eyes with it. And she wasnĀ“t a fan of cosplaying either.
Presenting her invite, she finally entered that big room. Some costumes were familiar to her, but...nothing all too interesting. Rei took her time observing first.
And then, there was this speech. What was it with all the vampires that she got to know lately..? But of course... This was just a big, big networking event. Maybe she would manage to recruit some more people there. What really caught her attention were those hidden, forbidden areas. Perhaps she could use her quirk to spy on those later? Without breaking any rules. But also..She wouldnĀ“t waste her energy unless it turned out to be really, really interesting and full of information later. Then again..An article about the Emperor of Vampire-Kind..Not too bad.
Her wings flapped just a bit when the music started playing, but for now..She needed a drink to loosen up.
There's an invitation that has arrived, Emperor Shadow Vampir-Copil is holding a costume party tomorrow, October 31st, at his mansion, there will be food, drink, entertainment, and goodie bags for guests to take home.
All the invited guest needs to do is show the invitation at the door just to ensure the uninvited don't just get in.
(For whoever is interested most.)
Rei stares at the card, flips it, inspects it. It doesn't seem to be suspicious...Or at least it doesn't ring any alarm bells in her head.
"I suppose I'll go. Nothing to do on the 31st anyway", she mutters. To no one but herself. Maybe her pigeon. But Quartz seemed more busy preening herself than listening. But a costume party? With her wings, she could go down edgelord-lane and dress up as a dark angel. Or a fallen angel? Perhaps Maleficent. But she didn't have the headdress. Fallen angel it was, then.
Her eyes narrowed to tiny slits. "Of course youĀ“d advise me to take the deal. You need a fighter, one that can be discarded. If I die, you could just say, hey, that criminal? Yeah, that one doesnĀ“t really matter. Got careless in battle. It's easier to explain than the death of a hero because thereĀ“s not going to be any backlash. But unfortunately, I very much like my freedom. So we have a deal."
Under his watch, under his protection. Reina grated her teeth. It reminded her of the old times. After all, they spent many years under the same roof-ānot that she remembered much. But... many years, hiding from Takami. Naturally, there would have been moments just like this. When he would try and protect her from a father who was anything but.
But right now? It just seemed patronizing. Reina Takami- Rei Kozuki. None of the two of them needed his protection anymore. Rei was strong enough to fight on her own; she had survived wars and came back alive. What significance would this one have? TheyĀ“d just fight some overblown loser who talked way, way too much. Well, and he had a fuck ton of quirks, but that also wasnĀ“t that bad, right? No, actually it was that bad. This could very well be her last battle.
"Take you and bargain? you fucking wish. They dropped me. And if anything, after the war is over, they might go after me. Assuming IĀ“m still alive, that is. But who knows, really? Anything could happen. Alright.. Enough talking. Get me out of this fucking straight jacket. I need to put together my outfit for my last battle in... my entire life. IĀ“ll get my freedom back and live like a civilian after, which would mean no fighting, so I have to make sure to look extra good in my last war."
Right. Priorities were set.
Looking good, kicking ass.
āWell, you would have hit the nail on the head, if you werenāt my sister,ā Keigo stated. If it were anyone else, say one of her associates, he wouldnāt even need to show up to make a deal. But she was someone he knew; if he was really there to manipulate her into becoming an asset on their side or not, it was the perfect cover to keep her alive.
He looked over her āresumeā so to speak, Hawks knew she could take care of herself if she had to. But he didnāt want it to get to that, it was a warzone out there after all, all traditional rules went out the window. Still, she accepted the deal, he didnāt need her to be happy about it, just be cooperative.
āSo you were really discarded, just like you think we might too.ā Good, he got her to admit it out loud, for himself and for the books. If the organisation was still after her after the war, then it would be his job to protect her, as agreed and as her brother, if she actually saw him as one by then.
āAlright, we have a deal on that,ā Keigo agreed at that note, she had to be in suitable attire at least to make sure she could fight at full capacity later. With their meeting done and finalised, there was a hopeful look on his face before he left to organise her release and beyond it.
āIāll see you later, Reina.ā
-
With his influence, Kaigo arranged for a variety of clothes to be delivered to her cell. āIād take you shopping, but itāll look like youāre trying to steal clothes while using me as a hostage,ā he lightly joked as he stood guard outside alongside other personnel.
Rei rolled her eyes to the high heavens. Again? Had she been doing it often? It felt like it.
Really, he was the only one going on and on about them being siblings. Then again, it kind of felt refreshing for at least one of them to worry about this. Try to mend their relationship. Rei wasnĀ“t that stupid. Just very, very mad.
And him bringing up the fact she was 'discarded' didn't make it any better. Her face didn't contort; it just stayed this blank canvas. But she was more tense now. Maybe there was a small twitch in her lips, her jaw, or something. But Rei didnĀ“t bother hiding negative emotions, not in here (not that she ever tried in the first place).
Rei decided to change the topic. "...You keep calling me by my old name. Just habit, or are you hoping to achieve something by doing that?"
Try and change her by the power of..Well, in their case not friendship. The power of care? That didnĀ“t sound right. Maybe he was trying to awaken old childhood memories or something silly. Rei wouldnĀ“t even put it above him. It was a weak spot, after all. Perhaps even for the both of them.
--
She stared at the clothes. Not really what she wanted, but at least they brought clothes that actually belonged to her and not just some cheap slop. Finally, some personnel released her from her straitjacket. The first thing Rei did was to stretch. Her wings spread, creating a gust of air. The ex-mercenary ruffled them. Honestly. Being cooped up felt like absolute shit. "Alllllright. Now we got the business of clothes down. What about my equipment? IĀ“m not going to fistfight AFO. I doubt anyone is... Or are you going to have me fight someone else? DabiĀ“s still out there, Toga...Others..."
Rei trailed off. Or Reina. What were they going to call her? Others addressed her with her last name; honestly, Rei just wished that they'd address her with her code name. Sure, it was some remnant of the past, but it was what she was used to. Speaking of remnants of the past...
"Yo...What happened to my pigeon by the way?"
Her dear pet. A (relatively chonky) wood pigeon that also acted as her assistent.
"..."
A vampire. That had to be a joke, right? Sure, Queenie did tell everyone and their mom but.. Coming from a world where people had quirks- supernatural abilities- but were still humans (and the only things coming close to supernatural beings were man made), it was still hard to believe.
"...Twilight vampire or normal one?"
There was a few moments of quiet at the others question.
Queenie had read twilight. She was a fairly nice vampire, one trying to reform the vampire image.
"I AM NOT SOME KINDA PUSSYFOOT VEGETARIAN ASS STALKER FUCKASS GROOMER BITCH FUCK ASS BITCH FUCKASS EDWARD CULLEN FUCK!" She roared for a moment.
There was a moment as her face... Was still pale, though she was breathing a bit heavily. "Sorry. I... The best thing twilight did was introduce the world to Robert Pattinson." She muttered. "I like Robert Pattinson, good actor." She breathed annoyed. "Anyways, I'm a real vampire, fed by a lot of dead people. But I'm also not that kinda..." She had to fight to keep her words pg-13, "Dumb fuck twilight vampire." Ok, she had to fight to keep them R-rated.
"...I mean, you also couldĀ“ve been the volturi kind of twilight-vampire. You know. The non-vegetarian kind?" She sighed. Getting yelled at wasnĀ“t exactly on her to-do list for today but getting compared to twilight was an insult, so she understood.
"...I do agree. Robert Pattinson is doing a good job, yeah."
However..Sparkling would be nice, no? Free highlighter. And they did kind of look pretty, sparkling like that. Oh well.
āVol-who?ā Of course she didnāt read twilight. She had just been compared to it enough she found it intensely frustrating. Brahm Stoker people, Dracula, thematic horror, rebel from god all that shit.
There was a moment before she asked. āSo. You havenāt heard of the vampire kingdom of Idra have you? I really need to amp up our tourism then, itās fucking spooky season, this place should be a goddamn tourist hotspot.ā
"...You know, the group that kills vampires in Twilight that get too rowdy..with the funny Aro-Guy and his gigantic forehead? He also reminds me of a rat. Also they arenĀ“t like...vegetarian." Rei shrugged. "I have not heard of that place. I suppose I should go visit it some time. Got any secret gems inside of that kingdom I should know about? Like..Good coffee or something like that."
Imagine a scenario where Rei witnesses this... What would happen? What emotions would she experience? (She and Keigo weren't close, but I dare say Rei is concerned about him??? š)
SPOILERS MY DUDES AND DUDETTES, SPOILERS FOR SEASON SEVEN OF MHA
āāāāąØą§āāāā
A quirk was something that made people who they were. An integral part people shouldnĀ“t lose at all costs. Ingrained into them.
So when she hurried onto the battlefield, this wasnĀ“t exactly a sight she wanted to see. Her brother had taken heavy hits. That was for sure. SheĀ“d seen the fight out of the corner of her eye- deployed as a unit that was supposed to deal with Twice clones, she couldnĀ“t do much about that.
"..Keigo..?", for now, she whispered. For her brother, there was no hope. And her control over him would slip. Not that sheĀ“d need it, but..Now he was useless.
...
Being useless scared Rei. A lot. It was one of the worst fates for a human being. Her fingers trembled, as she aimed her rifle at AFO. An instinctive reaction- like a rifle would do anything.
But he was a threat, and her first instinct was to eliminate the threat.
āāāāąØą§āāāā
A small snippet of the scenario!
I think Rei would be scared for Keigo, then for herself. If she witnessed this, it would mean that sheĀ“s in range for AFO to target next. And if she lost her quirk, sheĀ“d inevitably lose herself in the process. What good would she be without her quirk? without her abilities, she's just another common criminal.
What IĀ“m referencing is a plot me and @kenta-koma are working on (Which I still have to respond to. Shame on me) where Rei works as a hero, replacing Hawks after the war.
As for Hawks..ItĀ“s a shame he canĀ“t be saved, but he has the Hero commission to fall back to. At least, that's a hope Rei has (since Keigo was treated like a human weapon, she isnĀ“t all too sure about that. They could literally just murk him, too and without his quirk he canĀ“t fight it). So thousands of scenarios are going through her head: What could she do to at least get him out of danger, what they could do after?
Also, thereĀ“s the fact that him (and Tokoyami lmfao) are injured. So sheĀ“ll have to take care of that. She could just tell Tokoyami to heal (thanks to her quirk that somehow works once heĀ“s back and conscious), but she canĀ“t do much for Hawks. More reason to panic.
Overall I think sheĀ“d be trying hard not to lose her shit. Like..Anyone would, methinks.

"...Twilight vampire or normal one?"
"You need more than a coffee break. Maybe another secretary, a three-week-long vacation, and a consistent eight hours of sleep. And maybe a good concealer, but I'd prefer all the other options I just mentioned above."
She just lazed on the couch in the office. She'd just taken a nap thereāa habit she got in when the sleep deprivation was hitting hard. And since she could virtually do whatever she wanted as long as she helped out, no one really said anything. After all, it was just a harmless nap that she squeezed into her lunch break.
"And of course I wear my bags better... Between the two of us, I have more style." Maybe because she also loved looking into the mirror for more hours than necessary, and one needed to look at least presentable for that. "...I mean, damn. At least take a nap. Isn't Mera around to help? Or whatever his name was."
She would offer to take more work from him, but she had maxed out her capacity while trying to do exactly that.
"Another secretary? A holiday? Are you offering to help more or cover me?" Keigo replied, it was hard to say whether he was being sarcastic or not. While he could use the help, this wasn't exactly the 'freedom' he had negotiated with her release from imprisonment, even if it was her decision in the end to stay with him.
"Right, right. At this point, it seems my style also retired with my hero work," he admitted, though he didn't really mind. Running things better in the background and public eye as commissioner now, it was the best he could do without his quirk. Rei, on the other hand...
"Well, they're busy enough as it is," Hawks answered, then he had to ask his deeply thoughtful question while she was in front of him; they had the same wings after all as siblings. "You know, think you've settled in long enough. What do you think about hero work?"
// icon is a placeholder, I need to make/find more timeskip icons, lmao
"DonĀ“t flatter yourself. You never had any style to begin with. It all looked horrid." Her words didn't hold any malice to them, just the sort of honesty that was already bordering on rudeness. But then again, when was Rei ever sugarcoating anything?
An annoyed sigh was barely stifled on her end. "You were always too kind for your own good. Always trying to save people. Hero work....Do you really want my honest opinion on it?"
Rei never really liked hero society for a multitude of reasons, but for her to become one was utterly ridiculous. And she flat out didn't want to do it, considering she had amassed a fortune and would much rather spend her time in France, looking at castles or buying one. And then living a dream of a rich wine aunt with no kids to look after and only a pet pigeon to help her through her solitude. But that wasn't the deal they had, and there was still the threat of a lifelong prison sentence looming over her head. She wasn't as free as she'd hoped she'd ever be, but that possibility got gambled away when she was much younger anyway. No need to sulk over it now.
"Honestly? IĀ“d rather move out the country and live somewhere else. But I have to uphold my end of the deal. If anything, IĀ“m more worried about how the public will react to me as a hero. Pretty sure they know what I did. And honestly, who wants to be rescued by an ex-merc? Especially one of my kind. And then thereĀ“s the question of what hero you want me to be. I have a rifle, sure, but am I the second lady Nagant?"
Or a second Hawks, but if anything, Rei's and Nagant's fighting styles were much more similar. But seriously... Was she supposed to assassinate people? Sure, Keigo wanted a better society, but...
A society where heroes had more time to chillax. That could look...very different, depending on which person you asked.
"All I know for sure is that I'll have to be retrained and that it's going to take a while for me to be in the field."
