Chapter 7 - After destiny
Luminous oversaw the detective remembering the things he had discussed with jin.
"You don't need to lie, just tell half truth or say you are not sure because. . . I only told you half lies . . . and the ones that were real have nothing to do with the case"
Sitting on the same futuristic room luminous looked at Jin's back as he scrolled through the wired thing called a laptop, while he looked toward the window enjoying the green forest and mountains.
27/ May /2024
"HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND!" luminous roared at jin who has summoned him in the room.
"Nope. . . and how would I know if I lost it." he didn't turn his back toward Luminous just the sound of a keyboard and clenched teeth echoed in the room.
"I supported in everything you fucking asked for and now you. . .you are just gonna walk away!" Jin turned back facing Luminous "Why in the FUCK you sound like a little girl dumped by her lover" his face wrinkled in disgust as tried to back off.
"BECAUSE IT IS FUCKING NOT! THIS ISN'T WHAT YOU DISCUSSED WITH ME!"
"Well their are all kinds of anomaly in that world, and even before, I didn't tell you anything. . . I wrote it to you" he said with a fake smile, while raising his hand in half surrender.
BAM!
The wooded table broke under luminous fist, the screens fall on the ground his shoulder length silver hair covering his face.
"Ohh ohh ohh now you getting serious Mr Prince, you ruined my work" his smirk felt his face as his eyes turned cold yellow.
Luminous flashed a mocking smile toward him "Nothing too complicated for you"
"Yes. . . as simple as to kill you a thousand times" jin face was grim, his yellow eyes covered with a tint of red from the daily work, dark bangs roaming under them his face pale with lips torn out, all for one might think he met shigaraki's twin.
Luminous eyes flashed with worry but he quickly hid it behind his noble demeanour "I need an explanation"
SNAP!
The broken table and the fallen screens that had cracks in them slowly revert to their old position . . . it was as if time was moving backwards.
"There is nothing to explain" he didn't look back he quietly worked on his computer as if nothing has happened, with a disappointed look luminous quietly walked away from the room as his figure disappeared with the opening of the room.
Jin looked deeply at his bluish-yellow thunder it was shaped like a tree, a tree bigger than anything mankind could have witnessed deku's thunder was comparable to one of the smallest branch of this tree.
On top of the tree, there was a giant white sphere the branches of tree were shaped in U shape, holding it in balance.
"We are enough for the job. . .no need to burden another life with it" only the words echoed in the room as his figure sat lonely in the place, overseeing the monstrous thunder tree.
'Well you will always have us meow.' a soft feline voice spoke to him
"Bah! Don't spoil 'im, Catli! The boy needs to toughen up an' learn on 'is own, not get coddled like some weak kitten!"
'Cut him some slack, nya! He's doing purrfectly fine, meow!
Jin just smiled lightly as he heard the father and daughter argue he looked at the thunder tree one last time.
He didn't know why but his lips moved on his own "You guys. . . if. . if I ever get lost or. . . just bring me back. . . somehow" his voice tired as if he fought a war and lost everything. . . or maybe himself.
Swosh!
He didn't wait to listen their response as he disappeared from the room.
The two palico didn't say anything they just silently observed his laptop, their presence to be seen by none neither heard.
Name - Grey Harpe.
"Dad" catli called her father in worry, he didn't reply for a long time his previous hastiness gone long.
"You know what, Catli. . . sometimes I wish. . .bah, that I wasn't cursed with this sight. Sometimes, I mourn... yes, mourn my destiny, Mournpelt. These visions... they're weighed down with things beyond fate. But all we can do... is guide 'em through the storm, even when we're caught in it ourselves.
Luminous teleported as he opened the door, he looked back but there was nothing just the plain old grassland he and every other clan member tried to look for that place but they never found.
His eye hung low and jaw clenched he didn't know what he was angry. . . angry that he was lied or angry that he found someone like him, for he knew the answer in his heart. . . but the creature with heart are cursed with their mind.
He continued to walk as he heard the children voice in the distance, an old stone park where he use to play with his mate until they passed away like the hundreds of many before. . . that were hunted.
He didn't know what to feel about his friendship with the human, he just knew he was different than his kind or maybe. . it was he who was different.
His eyes lay on the little nargacuga's his brother wore a crown made of twigs and old **Kulu-Ya-Ku**feather.
Most were older than narga yet he still wrestled them over, winning with slight effort.
His eyes were gloomy as he looked toward his 'the future king. . .the destined one' his face showed a tired smirk his teeth highlighted by the royal dark suit, the cape dragging on the ground with him.
'Farewell human'
while two pairs of red eyes looked at everything unfold, holding their hands tightly.
"Dear. . ." Nargaret spoke softly as her eyes looked even red with faint tears on her face.
"They. . . aren't chosen by the destiny. . .the earlier he realizes that the better it will be" the man with silver grey hair spoke to her
"We are blessed to be here, mistake of past will not be repeated this time "Many battle scars were etched on his face yet even they couldn't hide the sadness in his voice, his beard grew irregular as there were large gash on his entire face highlighting his deep scarlet eyes and a straight nose.
"Never again" his eyes also looking toward the withering thunder tree, starting from the smallest of the branches until the tree became to weak to hold the giant sphere, the boulder crushed the whole thing while it disappearing in the soil, no sound no air. . .just gone.
"Mr luminous?" the detective waved in front of him trying to get his attention.
The reporters sat there holding their mikes ready to shoot questions most were nervous while few looked excited.
"Just some old memories. . . I haven't sat down with so many humans. . .How would I dare to sit with such dangerous beings" he said with a little smile.
The reporters laughed thinking he was trying to lighten the mood 'IT'S TRUE? THE FUCK?' Naomasa looked scared and confused he didn't understand what to make of it.
"Cough are there humans in that, in your place sir" Luminous nodded his head "They used to, things have changed now so they aren't"
Cough Cough!
"I-i see hmm"
Looking at the human luminous didn't understand why was he so nervous "Are you ok officer" he asked with a confused face."J-Just a little under the-the weather" the reporters were starting to notice the awkwardness of the situation, yet they didn't grasp the situation.
"Let me ask you something directly sir. . .was it you who killed those 20 officers on the night of 27th May." the room became silenced all the eyes were focused on luminous, while the detective looked weary as he sat the closest to him.
"No I didn't even saw any of your people and neither did my host, we didn't even touched a single hair on them, much less kill any of them."
"True"
"It was at 11:22 pm that your mother called for an ambulance, but weirdly enough the reporters also arrived there, so who was the person who called them?"
"How would i know? it was not me"
"What about your host?"
"Neither"
"How can you confirm that?"
"Because i can look into his memories"
"And what abou-" Luminous raised his hand stopping him in his tracks.
"I told you before I am not here to answer you, I am simply doing what the host wanted to do and that's an interview"
"I understand, please overlook my hastiness. . .but we also have 20 families looking for their missing family members"
"I understand that too I just like them have lost loved so I understand their pain"
One middle-aged man with a brown coat stood up "You said you had a family too? but aren't you just a quirk so how is that even possible?"
The other reporters were shocked looking between the reporter and Luminous, worried that this might upset him 'THIS FUCKING FOOL!' while the heroes and detectives could only sweat in worry
"It's all real to me. . . and who knows this quirk just might be a space quirk connecting this kid with our world. . .but due to the circumstances that is also lost. . . and I hope you focus more on the main topic" large murmurs started in the reporter as this would be a ground-breaking thing while other believed that it might all be an illusion.
"Are you referring to your fight with jin Asano, Miss inko said you were injured?" A short lady with pink jelly-like hair and a blue suit asked.
"No and yes, it was my host that fought with him, and he was not injured he was on deaths door, we have to overuse our power to close the wounds"
"SIR you said we? Does he have more mons- I mean people like you" the middle-aged man with a brown coat asked. "I don't have to answer that next, and please only ask questions related to this situation rather than me"
"You said your host fought with him? is it safe to assume you didn't or couldn't confront Jin Asano"
"Yes, I couldn't."
"How can we know you aren't lying you are just a quirk? does quirk even work on you " the same middle-aged man asked once again.
Sigh 'I didn't thought they would be this nosy, humans really like to discover the unknown.
"Mr naomasa" he called softly "Please remove this man from the room"
"What you can't do that!" the man panicked "This is my right the freedom of press"
"I didn't ask I told, the officer you can either send this man out or we have to cancel this interview"
"Y-YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHICH COMPANY I WORK WITH"
'Such a sorry sight, at least all those hunters would not hide behind threats' with naomasa permission 2 officers escorted the man out.
"I hope you can keep your curiosity to yourself, lest you suffer the same fate."
"And here, my age is 12 years, what does your quirk say, officer?"
"You are lying"
"Here another one, I am a soul from a different world that has occupied this boys body"
"It's a lie, my quirk is working just fine."
"I don't know if this is consider meddling but, you said you guys overused your powers trying to heal his wounds, so how is that even possible when you don't exist here" naomasa asked.
Luminous didn't say anything he silently morphed his hand in claws and cut a little opening on his thigh which started healing in seconds before there wasn't even a mark left.
"I-I understand but you don't need to harm yourself"
"It's easier to show"
"I hope all reporter can ask their questions in moderation, rather than trying to pry into the personal life of our guest."
Another man with a CCTV camera head raised his hand before answering the questions.
"This question is directly related to the events of passed days is it fine i ask my question"
"As long as you aren't prying about me all questions are welcomed."
"On 27th jin Asano injured 3 of his friends in school 4 if we include you, but it seems that you were attacked somewhere between midnight unlike the other 3 who were attacked after school, why is that and how did he injured your host."
"His voice on phone seemed very painful asking for help, so izuku medoriya rushed to help his friend like any other would, where he argued about the situation and got stabbed in heart shortly after.
"YOU CAN EVEN HEAL THE HEART?" th CCTV man shouted.
"WA-WAIT What i meant was why did he got stabbed through heart"
"Smart. . .but he was not exactly stabbed through heart more like scratched, as for why. . . just the difference in ideology one prevailed and one failed, truly perfect"
"Did he stabbed with a knife or he too awakened his quirk?" someone asked.
"With his power, bronze. . . long nails"
"What do you think about the school incident" naomasa asked.
"Is it personal or"
"No I just wanted to ask your thoughts differently than your host"
"I am not a human so. . . there are some differences but I believe a cornered beast is very dangerous especially if they have nothing to lose. . . a quirkless orphan. . . I wonder what could go wrong, after all you guys really like to care for your race" he said with a simple harmless smile.
'My time is reaching i should wrap things up'
The reporter shifted in their seats uncomfortably.
"Um E-exuse me would it be ok if I asked a question?" a woman with 2 white horns raised her shaky hand.
"Yes this is an interview after all"
"From the memories that you have access to what kind of person will you describe jin Asano to be."
Luminous didn't know what to answer he knew Jin personally and from Deku's memories too, he was stubborn, rebellious, and always ready to fight he was a wired human, with big ambitions and crazy plans. . . he also cared for people even though he tried to hide it well.
he didn't answer for a long time he just stared at the grey ceiling.
"Y-you don't have to answer-"
"Hero" he looked in her eyes.
She looked puzzled by the sudden answer like the rest, while the one most worried was naomasa.
'Im glad this is not live'
"He's the monster you guys have created."
"Far stronger than my family"
BAM!
The detective chair fell, as he didn't anticipated this kind of response 'Yagi said this quirk is like his own. . .or rather'
"Jin Asano is alive, and he's coming for you. . .dear heroes"
