My Hero Academia: Blood and Fire

Celestia carefully moved across the roofs of the city that Sir Nighteye's agency was in, as she was carrying Eri and didn't want the little girl to panic anymore than what she had experienced before she encountered her in the alleyway, and she found that Eri was holding her chest tightly. From what she could tell this was more due to the warmth she was giving off and less due to the fear of falling, but that didn't stop Celestia from safely making her way over each of the roofs as she reached the hospital that her boss wanted her to stop at. It was one that her boss claimed was safe and was well trusted, so when she reached the building she found Sir Nighteye and Bubble Girl standing nearby, and it wasn't much longer before she spotted Mirio and Izuku entering the building. Her focus, however, was on Eri as she brought her into one of the rooms and let her sit in one of the chairs, while at the same time making sure the girl wasn't frightened, because her presence seemed to be a calming factor for Eri right now.

Naturally the doctor ran a few tests on Eri, to be sure she was fine, though it would take some time to get the results and go over them, something they were fine with since it would give them more information, but once that was done Celestia got Eri some juice containers and let her sit in a smaller room while she chatted with the others.

"So, you found Eri, this odd little girl, while Lemillion and Deku encountered Chisaki, who was looking for his lost 'daughter' and left after speaking with them." Sir Nighteye commented, which was rather interesting in his eyes, he had been looking into the Precepts for a short while now and rarely saw the big boss himself, meaning that Eri was either his daughter or she was a key part of his operations in some manner, while Celestia glanced at her brother for a moment, "Honestly, when I decided to hire the two of you I wasn't expecting this to happen, but it seems like things have turned in our favor. We are fortunate that he has not yet visited the police to file a missing persons report, because this means that she likely doesn't have a birth certificate, and it also tells us that he doesn't want to run the risk of being found out, so he's hiding his face so we won't focus on him."

"However, if Chisaki does have some sort of operation, and it involves Eri, you know he'll be looking to get her back... she's definitely terrified of him coming back." Celestia said, as it was clear that the little girl was terrified of the one that had been looking for her, far more than the one that she had knocked out before rescuing her, where she looked at her boss for a few seconds as she thought about what they were discovering today, "Do we have a plan to deal with Chisaki?"

"Yes, I am reaching out to a number of other agencies, so we can build a concrete plan." Sir Nighteye replied, which was what Celestia was expecting, because he was known for his intelligence and knew that taking this piece from Chisaki, even if it was on accident since he knew she hadn't been expecting all of this to happen, before he glanced back at the room that the little girl was in, "If we could ask her what's going on, I'm sure we could learn what Chisaki's plan is, and how we can counter him so we can stop whatever he's planning, after we've spend the necessary amount of time analyzing the information and doing everything to be sure that we are prepared beyond any doubt. As you all know the cleverest of villains hide in the shadows and we've entered an age where we must give them some space to work in the darkness, before moving to bring them to justice... I know none of you will like this, but sometimes this is a necessary thing to do."

"We can't just leave Eri here, especially if Chisaki comes looking for her again." Izuku commented, as he didn't think it was a good idea to leave the little girl here, because if the villain was as dangerous as Sir Nighteye and Bubble Girl were telling him and the others, and he trusted them since his boss had worked with All Might for a long time, where he considered what to do in this situation, "Should we take her to UA? We have no idea what sort of Quirk she has, so our teacher might be able to rein in her power if something goes wrong, and no villain would be foolish to attack UA with all of the heroes that are there, especially after the League failed so much... not to mention that Celestia and Selene will be there on their days off."

"First things first, she needs a bit of healing, a bath, and some fresh clothes... I doubt mom and dad kept anything from when we were Eri's age, but it never hurts to ask." Celestia remarked, to which she opened the door and beckoned for the little girl to come out, where Izuku found that Eri practically rushed over to his sister's side and hid behind her legs, like she was just terrified of the outside world, making her wonder what the little girl had been through until this point, "For now, we're going to head back to UA."

"Agreed. You and your brother have had enough excitement for one day, and I need time to do over what we've discovered so far." Sir Nighteye said, because he agreed right now, tending to the little girl was the right call, especially since he knew that Celestia might be able to get her to open up in due time, plus he knew her brother was talking about Eraserhead, who would be suited to making sure Eri was able to control whatever her Quirk might be, "Head back and get some rest... we'll be needing both of you in top condition once our plans are ready to be put into place against our target."

Celestia nodded and scooped the girl up, where Eri looked a little happy to be in this situation, before they left the hospital, allowing her and Izuku to depart while she carried the little girl, her brother keeping an eye out for Chisaki or the members of the Precepts, people that Sir Nighteye's group would be keeping an eye out for. After a while Celestia sent Izuku back to get their cases and backpacks, since his speed would be able to get him to their agency in a short period of time, and sure enough he rushed off without wasting time, leaving her to make sure Eri was fine. Izuku returned moments later with both of their cases, for their hero gear, and their backpacks, where Celestia slipped them on while making sure not to let go of Eri, allowing them to return to the train and take it back to UA, all while Eri looked at everything around them with a look of pure interest on her face. It was like she had never been outside before, at least not until today, and had never come into contact with anything other than darkness and pain, yet it was the warmth that Celestia provided that cut through that darkness.

She smiled for a moment as Eri leaned in with a faint smile on her face, the warmth had definitely done something for Eri and she was happy to see that, though she said nothing as they traveled back to UA, a place that eventually surprised the girl when they arrived, where Izuku went off to check in with Aizawa.

Celestia, on the other hand, brought Eri to the dorms and had her sit in one of the chairs for a moment, where she used her healing to make absolutely sure that the girl's body was fine, while also finding that Eri did, in fact, have a positive reaction to the warmth that was moving through her body. Once she was done doing that Izuku returned with Aizawa, who seemed to have a good understanding of what was going on, where he took Eri's measurements before leaving for a time, something that allowed Celestia to bring Eri to the bathrooms for a time. What she did was clean Eri, as it was clear that someone had done so recently, no doubt Chisaki or whoever had been tasked with taking care of her, yet instead of being forceful she went in nice and smooth, where she found that Eri seemed to really enjoy being cleaned the right way. Such a thing made her wonder how someone could do something to such a young girl, to try and use her in whatever manner Chisaki had been planning on using her for, something that made her angry when she thought about it, as no one deserved whatever Eri had been put through.

"So, do you have any idea what your Quirk is?" Celestia asked, though at the same time she carefully washed Eri's hair, which almost felt like it had been some time since she had a proper wash, and it gave her a chance to really look at the horn that was growing out of Eri's head, something she was sure was connected to the girl's Quirk.

"N... No. He told me it was one that would 'cure' this world and cause people pain." Eri replied, though while her expression darkened a little, no doubt because Chisaki still had his claws in the girl, Celestia noticed that being near her, being near her warmth, seemed to be more than enough to drastically weaken the hold that the darkness had on her.

"Well, that's not true at all. A Quirk is a tool, like a sword or even a gun... it's up to the person who owns the Quirk to decide if it harms people or saves them from harm." Celestia stated, where she could see that Eri seemed to pause as she heard that, no doubt because this was the first time someone had said something like this to her, but Celestia could see that the girl was thinking about how she viewed her own Quirk, whatever it might be, "Take Sunshine, my sun based Quirk, for example: yes, I can do harm with it, but I can also protect myself and heal people that are injured... it's all about how you want your Quirk to be seen, not how someone has been telling you how it should be seen."

Eri seemed to nod to that statement, no doubt because she needed time to figure out how to actually use her Quirk and how she wanted it to be seem, though at the same time there was a known on the door as Selene entered, where Celestia found that her sister had been called back to help Aizawa, hence the couple of clothing bundles she had. This allowed Eri a chance to see Selene, even though it confused her when she learned that she was Celestia and Izuku's sister, as none of the three really looked like each other, but Eri did like petting Selene when she used her Tiger Quirk and turned into her feral form for a few moments. Celestia found that the clothing was a sort of overalls that were merged with a skirt, something for little girls to wear, with some white shirts and black shorts, all that would fit Eri's size, and even came with some new shoes, which she thought were more like boots. All in all the sisters found that there was more than enough for Eri to get started with a fairly normal life, though they did realize that Eri was going to need a bedroom and knew that Aizawa was no doubt taking care of that as well, since he seemed to be on the ball about this.

Selene, despite not knowing the circumstances that brought Eri to Celestia's attention, found that this was a good thing, as it was nice to see her sister in this light, and yet, while she packed away most of the clothing so they could be transferred into Eri's new room, she noticed a faint flicker of energy between the two. It was faint and only lasted for a second, to which she suspected that neither of them had noticed the exchange, but Selene had noticed it based on random chance and found that it did something that she wasn't expecting, it caused a bit of an increase in Celestia's magical power. Selene had been of the opinion that there was some sort of magical seal on Celestia, no doubt making sure her full alicorn power was sealed away so she didn't wreck everything around her, and yet that slight increase inn power told her that there had to be a crack in whatever magic was keeping her sister's power contained. In fact she was sure of that she Selene found that a shimmer ran through Celestia's hair, making it look like the multi-colored hair that her sister had while in her princess form, and then it was gone in the blink of an eye, almost like she had imagined the entire thing.

She wasn't sure what Eri's Quirk was, something she was sure they would learn later, but whatever it was had put a dent in the magic that was lingering on Celestia's full power, something that made her wonder about what the future held while she and her siblings tended to Eri, as she was sure the coming days would be interesting for everyone and was eager to see whatever happened next.
