The Courier (MHA)

Tomura Shigaraki couldn't help but growl at the thoughts of the past near year. And it all had to do with one single person. This same person had been a thorn in his side since he appeared out of thin air.

Courier Six.

First, it all started when he appeared during the USJ raid. Showing up like an Old West Reaper. Killing all of his pawns with a lever-action rifle. When Tomura ordered his Nomu to attack him for interrupting his plan, Six showed incredible physical ability to dodge the Nomu before pulling something out that completely nullified the Nomu's healing factor. When Tomura saw to it that he needed to be dealt with personally, it ended up backfiring spectacularly. Ending with Tomura having lost three fingers and being forced to retreat before the plan was even complete.

The humiliation of having lost was great.

After getting his fingers reattached, Tomura went around and started to collect good, better pawns. Even going so far as to rely on his mentor's help. Even after getting several pawns that followed his inspiration, he did his due diligence and looked for any information on the mysterious Courier.

After finding nothing but the fact that Six was hired as a teacher at UA didn't dissuade Tomura. Knowing that he couldn't find anything about Six from the street, he went to the source, UA itself. However, that proved to be a challenge in of itself. But thankfully he found a group of Mutants that had a bone to pick with him and a group calling themselves the Legion. While the Mutants were too stupid to give anything useful or meaning away, they were good for a distraction. As for the Legion, they had devoted followers that would die for their cause.

So, during the sports festival, Tomura sent two of the mutants and a scout to find out more about the Courier. Thankfully they had hacked the cameras so that they could see what was happening. Unfortunately, they lost access to them right afterward, but they managed to view what happened.

One was sent to where Six was stationed during the first event. The fact that he managed to spot Kurogiri as he was releasing one of the mutants, was unnerving, to say the least. The fact that he had dealt with the Mutant with extreme predigest showed just how ruthless he could be. Even going so far as to make an enemy out of the Number 2 hero: Endeavor. It didn't help from there that the other two were caught before they could find anything useful and bring it back. The Mutant fought to the death while the Legion Scout killed himself to prevent information from leaking about them.

And when things were just starting to go Tomura's way with the Hero Killer, he abandoned the thought of recruiting him and let him go. But not before releasing several Nomus to wreak the city and hopefully outshine the hero killer. But what happened next made Tomura's blood boil.

The Hero Killer was captured by Courier Six. Six then confronted the Nomu that Tomura released and killed them all. After all that, he stood off against Endeavor and came out on top after threatening him.

To say Tomura was pissed was an understatement.

If it wasn't for Kurogiri pulling Tomura away, they might have been found out by Six. Something that they didn't want. It didn't help that Six even found and captured one of his mentor's assassins.

Then, when it came time to attack the students when their guard was down at their Summer Training Camp, Six managed to spot the Vanguard Action Squad and their Legion helpers. After a true fight to the end, at least according to Dabi, Six managed to stall long enough for AllMight to arrive. Even after sending reinforcements and all their plans, those two managed to foil them all. It was going well when they managed to kidnap three of the students until someone let it slip where they were taken.

Worse than that, Six and Nezu managed to scrape together enough support to raid the hideout even with Tomura's mentor's help. It didn't help that the police followed the Heroes' orders to surround the street. By the time they had realized it, it was too late to evacuate the bar.

When the raid happened, Six, AllMight, and some woman raced through his pawns and him like they were made of paper. Before he could even try his hand, he was knocked out by another hero.

That thought alone made him... upset.

Their plans had been foiled before they even started. And the Doctor that they recruited from the Mojave defected when he realized Six was here. The only upside to this all was that AFO had been captured instead of killed.

It was only thanks to Dr. Garaki and Korogiri that the LoV had a place to hide and recuperate from their losses. They had almost lost Spinner, who was a key to their plans. But they did lose Magne, Muscular, Mustard, and Moonfish. Of those four, two were dead (Muscular and Moonfish), one was captured (Mustard), and another one was tortured to death (Magne). That's not even counting all the Legion members that they lost in the confrontation.

Tomura growled again as he sat on his bed in the new hideout. The metal bed frame squeaked underneath him as he shifted his weight to stand. Then, after pacing around his room, Tomura's rage couldn't be contained any longer and he lashed out; striking the concrete wall with enough force to crack it.

.

"Calm down, keep your head in the game," Tomura said to himself, "You still have cards you've yet to play."

.

And with that, the game went on.

|With Veronica Renata Santangelo|

"So, Veronica," Midnight spoke as the two of them carried boxes, "I have to ask, did Six drink a whole lot back in the Mojave?"

"Like alcohol?" Veronica questioned back.

"Yeah, he's always has a bottle next to him whenever can!" Midnight told her.

"That's nothing new," Veronica said, "When he found out that he couldn't get drunk or have any bad side effects from it, he pretty much just alcohol since that was the cheaper option in the Mojave. Plus, that shit was everywhere."

"I'm not even gonna ask how alcohol was cheaper than water," Midnight shook her head.

"Trust me, you don't want to know," Veronica stated as they walked into the Teacher's office. "Anything else you want to know?"

"Yeah, what the hell is this?" Aizawa asked as he held up an [Atomic Cocktail].

"Six give you that?" Veronica asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I took it off of him when he and Principle Nezu started discussing world domination," Aizawa deadpanned.

"Sounds about right," Veronica sighed and set the box she was carrying down. "They'll settle down when the effects wear off."

"What affects?" Midnight asked as she did the same.

"It's basically an energy drink on steroids," Veronica said like it was no big deal.

"That doesn't sound good," Midnight stated the obvious.

"Trust me, when the effects wear off, they'll be out like a light for a few hours," Veronica told them as she started to unpack the boxes.

"Good thing that only Six was the one who drank any," Aizawa sighed as he set the cocktail down on Six's desk. "I fear what would happen should Nezu drink any."

"Now that's a scary thought," Midnight agreed before going over to help Veronica unpack the boxes.

.

"I CAN SEE SOUNDS!" Six's voice cut through the night. "THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!"

"Is this supposed to happen?" Aizawa asked Veronica when Six started screaming the first time around.

"He sounds like he high off of something..." Midnight said as she stood there with tired eyes.

"Give it a minute, he'll be out soon enough." Veronica sighed as she started to count down mentally.

"It's been eight hours, just what was in that cocktail?" Aizawa asked.

"You don't want to know," Veronica said as she walked over to Six before catching him as he passed out standing up.

"I kinda do..." Midnight mumbled as she watched Veronica pick up Six like a sack of Maze.

"Trust me, you don't," Veronica said as she carried Six back to his room.

.

|With Six|

.

"Well, at least I had a good night's sleep," Six said to himself as he awoke in his bed.

"That's the first thing you have to say for yourself?" Veronica asked as she leaned on his open doorframe. "Not the fact that you were planning world domination again?"

"How far did I get?" Six asked in return as he sat up and swung his feet off his bed.

"Really?" Veronica raised her eyebrow, "What am I ever gonna do with you?" She sighed.

"Well-"

"That was rhetorical," Veronica cut him off. "Anyway, you've been out for nine hours. We got shit to do, get up."

"Great, I hate Mondays," Six said sarcastically. "Welp, might as well get ready for class. Oh, wait, I don't care."

"What made you dink that cocktail anyway?" Veronica asked as she moved aside to let Six out. "You know that they make you loopy after a while."

"I might have biological kids," Six sighed and told her the truth.

"What?" Veronica spoke so elegantly. "Like, they're actually yours?"

"Yes, that is the thought," Six sighed again. "That and my real name might be Dylan Jones. But until the blood tests come back, it's up in the air."

"Oh god, imagine what Cass would do if she found out." Veronica said a sentence that made Six shudder.

"She would either teach them how to brew booze or shoot them." Six speculated.

"Who are the kids anyway?" Veronica asked.

"Bakugo Katsuki and Izuku Midoriya," Six stated. "Their mothers recognized me when they first saw me."

"Did they great you with hugs?" Veronica tried to tease him.

"I got a broken nose as a greeting from one." Six told her as they made their way out of the teachers' dorms. "And the other wouldn't let me go."

"Well, at least one missed you," Veronica said as they crossed the grounds.

"It would have been better if one didn't break my nose, but beggars can't be choosers." Six sighed as he held the door to UA open and let Veronica go in first. "But, I've been meaning to ask you, how did you get here?"

"I woke up in an alleyway and then stopped a mugging not even ten minutes later," Veronica said as if she was talking about the weather. "But I still don't understand how I know Japanese." She muttered.

"Please tell me that it wasn't you getting mugged," Six sighed and ran a hand down his face.

"Okay, it wasn't me getting mugged," Veronica smiled and spoke.

"I swear this family of ours causes nothing but trouble," Six sighed.
