( in one world, HIVE relocates to a little city in california. teen hero team the titans get their first group of enemies, the students get a harsh lesson in not intentionally botching jobs and otherwise, things continue like one might expect from a saturday morning cartoon, or something similar. here, one teacher decides that japan's symbol of peace is flickering out, and the swell of power is too good to pass up- and this world isn't so gentle as a cartoon anyways. HIVE establishes itself in the underworld. teams of teen villains with the same hexagonal emblem somewhere upon their bodies are sent out in waves to cause chaos and steal what they can, and escape with the help of different teachers and their own quirks or technology.

and today is just the most recent one, when a sweet shopping plaza falls under attack. two boys with super strength land first, cracking pavement and announcing their presence- from there, it all erupts at once, with those two leading the charge and ready to act as the buffer for inevitable resistance. a small child with his metal spider legs scatters around, disrupting security measures menacing guards with his drones, while the cyclops and the pale, mute boy work together to find and snatch safes and vaults. in the center of the chaos, jinx stands proud and issues a command with a flourish: )

HIVE Five, eat 'em alive!

( it gets attention- and causes civilians caught in everything to flee. heroes will be on scene soon, she thinks as she hops down to the ground with grace, keeping an eye out on her team. gizmo's cackling some crude insults over the coms. ... who taught him that sort of language? honestly.

well.

might as well have fun while she can. )

( the thing is, she was never really meant to be here. or she was, but hope's peak had to try very hard to get her to agree to actually transfer. even then, designating her the "ultimate misfortune" when she was trying to leave that bit of herself behind was... she might have cracked the cup she was holding when she saw that. but it's fine! she could work with it. ... and unfortunately, it wasn't like she was subtle about her abilities- once they had a hook in her, there was no way she was getting out of this.

had they told her the whole story, however, that hook never would have had a chance. no one likes getting two surprise roommates after all- and what's the deal with her being the only girl? of course they didn't tell her until now, when she was sitting across from the principal himself, glaring at a small stack of papers with such intensity no one would be surprised if it burst into flames. something about helping a student discover his own 'talent'- god she was getting sick of that word already- and assisting in that by exposing him to two volatile and unusual 'talents' themselves. because luck is contagious and so is magic, clearly.

... it was really tempting to light the information packet on fire, actually. )

Is this some kind of joke? Literally what part of this sounds like a good idea-

( she's been at this for a bit now. so when her... future roommates approach the office, they may hear the rant continue. particularly, through the wooden door- )

What do you think this is, My Little Pony!? You watch too many episodes about the Cutie Mark Crusaders or whatever, old man? God--

( and when the door opens she flops back in her seat, crossing her arms and legs both and glaring at anything and everything. the new arrivals may have saved everyone from her temper, it seems. if the principal takes the time to explain everything himself, she's stopped paying attention, even as she's introduced as "felicity morais"- though he doesn't get a chance to mention her title outloud, because at that point his drink randomly tips over, and that sure is hot coffee everywhere! ... not that it matters, they'll see it when they read their own packets. the air feels staticky around her though, and if kirigiri is unnerved, he's not showing it... but he's definitely dropping things more than a man of his caliber probably should? )

[It's been a long, long, long time since someone has had the gall — or maybe the spine — to summon him of all demons.

Most powerful of the seven sins, the fallen Morning Star, right hand of the Prince of the Devildom itself, and here he is, standing in a summoning circle made by whatever was foolish enough to think they can control him. He can make this quick; scare the summoner off, kill them if they get too in his face, whatever — Lucifer has zero interest in a pact in this day and age and to be frank his whole "be nice to the humans" thing only goes so far when he's quite literally being dragged out of his home into whatever petty things that a summoner could possibly want. Power, revenge, whatever, he's about to have none of it—

Until he looks around and realises that the summoner in question seems to be... a kid? Which— alright, sure, that makes even less sense. Is this a prank? Surely a little kid wouldn't even know the logistics of summoning a whole demon. And so...

Lucifer stares down at the child in question, brows raised and wings flexing, and all he can do is question,]

Are you the one who called me forth?

( somewhere in some unnamed forest outside of a city in north america, there's a lab on the mountainside. and within that lab are things that should never have been- that's one thing the boy in the containment tank knows by now. doctor morais is probably the worst of it though- a tall, callous woman with piercing green eyes, who never seems to look away or feel any sort of remorse or guilt over the atrocities she commits.

at least doctors howell and mahoney seem upset at the implications... but they're complicit none the less. doctor valentine tries to sneak him some kindness here and there, candy and little toys that he's allowed to keep because removing them or not simply doesn't matter, keeps calling him a he. the security guards don't look at him, and the computer techs that now about him aren't about to risk morais's wrath.

how long has it been? who knows. certainly not Subject D-32. and who knew enough about him to realize he ever went missing? did the school even care when he stopped showing up?

maybe the worst part is that the south wall is entirely mirrors, and the north wall is reinforced glass where he can see doctor morais and the others, and the glow of their computers and equipment at all hours.

maybe the worst part is what the mirror reflects sitting on the cot.

the tests are painful regardless of arcane or chemical or mechanic and the reflection warps more and more after the especially long ones, and there are no windows, and no real way to keep track of how long it's been. which is why when help finally arrives in the form of a stolen usb stick copied overnight and returned later, in a girl with a bike and a grudge pulling up outside one night, he has no idea.

the scientists are all in the observation room right now, talking quietly. the guards are at ease, no one ever comes to the woods and the other subjects are too sedated to try anything. everything is going according to plan. )

( yokai have existed for ages- for as long as humans existed to feed their stories... and more. but over the centuries, between wars with mankind and each other, and the development of new magics and new technology alike, agreements of sorts were worked out. the mountains and woods had a tendency to be considered yokai territory, of course- and with that came risk if you were human, but it was generally agreed that if you went out there, you knew what you were getting into.

... still, when a monster attacks too many humans, it has to be stopped, and that is what hunters are for. in return, human cities have their own yokai as well, but they play by human rules. no murder, no eating humans, and if magic is being used it must sit within human laws as well. they can live peacefully if not mischievously, and spirits and humans fall into an easy life together. they just have to follow the laws. hunters are even more protective in the cities, after all.

which is the problem, considering there's been a string of murdered humans at the hands of a yokai downtown, and all signs are pointing to the only nekomata in that corner of the city, and she knows she's completely innocent.

people who realized it are giving her a wide berth, and she can't quite blame them. but no one's even giving her a chance to say her piece, and she's never met a yokai hunter- she doesn't know what to expect when they finally decide to come for her. eventually, she gets asked to not come in to work at the bookstore for a few days.

fine.

when the hunter finally comes for her, he'll find her waiting in an abandoned building, cat ears flat, eyes narrowed and tail flicking slowly from side to side as she lounges in an old chair, chin in one hand. maybe she's spent the past few hours just screaming her frustration out and clawing up the attic above them, maybe not. but despite her slack posture, jinx is ready and waiting. )

( jinx never meant to go close to shore, and human vessels and whatever else- and by the time she realized just where she was, in the light of the day she was barely visible in the water, and a startled fisherman didn't know if it was a monster or something else and had reached for a spear when she was distracted. In her efforts to simply escape, made worse by pain and confusion, jinx found herself in a bit of a bind.

literally.

human ropes were twisty things, hard to see in murky waters even when you're not terribly distracted and now pushed over the verge of panic- and the ropes moving upwards helped no matters. she's not the only thing caught, which kind of soothes her wounded pride, but when she finds herself upheaved from the sea and dropped on some hard surface... the soothing is gone, her side is in terrible pain- bleeding, actually, so leaving the water was probably for the best but she doesn't want to say it- and she whips a glare at the first human she sees with a snarl as soon as she regains herself, forcing herself up on one elbow while her other hand is pressed over the wound. )

How dare you?!

( it's not quite a standard villain attack- there's no robberies that are noted, no fires or threats- just a bored man and his two dumb friends, wanting something to do. maybe that's why no one sees it coming, and why they're able to slip through the chaos at the end of the day, safe and sound while snickering at the trail of wrecked lives left in their wake.

here's how it looks to the unaffected but close: it's a busy day at the train station, and even criminals have their day-to-day lives. some are boarding, some are exiting, and then in a thirty feet radius, people just... drop. and then the radius expands. no one's out for too long, but when they come to... anyone over 15 looks at a complete loss as to what's happening. anyone under 15 is also pretty confused and worried, but it becomes clear that it's not the same when someone asks their own son "who are you?" and more respond to each other the same way.

and then panic spreads as more people begin to drop again. there's a scramble to get out of the station, and authorities are alerted. it's a struggle to get in or out... so one girl sits where she had dropped, curling her legs in so as to not trip anyone and watches in a quiet, terrified confusion that she dares not voice. she doesn't know this, but she'd been on her way to a book store, so she looks like a normal girl- braided hair, fashionable but comfortable outfit, and not a single clue as to what that humming energy just beneath her skin is.

eventually heroes get in, and eventually someone touches her shoulder. she should recognize him- he's been a personal thorn in her side for months now. but instead she gives him a blank if not worried look, because it really is just a terrible situation all around. when she speaks, it won't carry the same sharp tone she forces out that deku may know- instead she sounds soft as she naturally should, delicate almost. her own id is in her fingers, since it's the only clue to who she is right now. it reads: Morais, Felicity A. )

Did... you need something?

( there's a popular teen detective in her school. nene knows this because she's seen him on a magazine or two, and there's a reporter waiting outside for him now and then- fans, too, when school lets out. but as cool as it sounds, it simply wasn't in nene's circle of interest for a while.

and then a spirit came to her, begging to enlist his help to complete their unfinished business. hiroshi was college aged, with bleach-blonde hair and brown eyes and a sporty, sleek sense of style- and they were polite enough to remember to hide their death-injuries when they showed themselves to her after she paled at the sight of them the first few minutes. and even now, despite classes barely being over, they were incredibly pushy. even as she slips into his classroom, they're quietly urging her to get a move on-- )

Ah... Excuse me. Shuichi Saihara? You're the detective, right? I was wondering if you could help me find something...? A friend was in town and lost something, but they're gone now, and I've only got a vague idea as to what happened to it.

( yeah. perfect, nailed it. )

--Oh! I can pay, if you need!

[It is, perhaps, a blessing that Nene's town isn't prone to sudden weather changes. Rain is the bane of Nene's existence these days, but it's usually on the forecast a while before it actually happens, so she can plan around it.

Usually being the key word. There's the sudden crack of thunder while Nene is walking home from school, in an open area with no real shelter to hide under. And here she is with no umbrella and no raincoat.

Whatever face Nene makes at the realization that it's about to start pouring rain in less than a minute, it gets a young man who's also on the street to shrug off his hooded jacket and offer it to her.]

Here. You can't get rained on, right?

[That's an interesting way of phrasing it, for anyone who isn't sensitive enough to curses to pick up on Nene's.]
