Miku was at the park, sitting on a bench and looking at a strange note that she got
'Dear Miku, meet me in the park at noon, love your mother'
Normally,she'd contact and message her adoptive dad about this strange letter and consult with him. But, she knew she couldnt rely on him forever. This was someone claiming to be her mother. But that was impossible. He...He said he killed her family. Her mother was dead. But then who was this? How did they know her name
Life was...chaotic and strange to Miku, she accepted a killer to be her father. And she even considered messaging him. She held her phone in her hands. Contemplating if she should do it. Or what would he say if he knew what she was doing. Meeting a stranger, a potential threat, without any protection. It seemed now everything she did was a bad idea.

| | Why she was bothering, she could not fully say. Or even half-say. There was little point in this. The past was the past, best to bury it and move on. Honestly, she probably would have if it were not for the nature of what she had heard, exactly. Yuuei, they said. Of all the places. Finding out her spawn was still alive after all was one thing, but learning how to become one of the first ‘professional heroes’ on top of that? It boggled Veronica’s mind. Fate truly did have an ironic sense of humour.
That’s if what she had heard was true, of course. If the letter she had sent had really found a recipient. All that would be revealed if she discovered her daughter here, in the calm, quiet park enjoying a lazy weekend afternoon, the people blissfully unaware that there was an assassin walking among them. How she preferred it. She would not have been a very good at her job if she were so easily identified.
How many years had it been? Five. Christ. How time flew. She wondered if her daughter would have changed much – there.
They looked much alike, the same green eyes, the same blonde hair. Veronica watched the girl sat alone on the bench for a few seconds, finding she had stopped in her tracks without realising. She forced herself to concentrate and approached the girl, keeping her expression neutral.
“Miku.”

She was lost in thought. And worried a lot. While waiting for her mother, she heard some people passing by, saying that there has been a murder here. Miku hoped it wasnt who she thought it was. After all, last time she saw her adoptive dad. They were still living in Tokyo. But now she was living at Musutafu at one of UA's dorms. She was scared she might encounter him. But before she could worry more...
"Miku"
She snapped out of her thoughts and looked up at the blonde woman,who probably claims to be her mother
Miku got up from her bench, turned to the woman and asked "Mother?" she raised her brow. She was confused. Sure, they looked alike. But... could it be true. Did her adoptive dad lie to her about this as well???

| | Get it together. This child had only ever been a means to an end. A prerequisite for marrying her rich, dearly departed oaf of a father. Once again Veronica questioned why she was even here, but no turning away now. Well, she could, and considered it, yet decided to let this play out. The answers she wanted were too important.
“Yes, it’s me,” she said. “Who else would it be?”
Really, this child ought to be grateful she were here, having sought her out. Her own mother would never have done such a thing.
She said beside Miku, silent for a while. She watched the park-goers wander by, chatting idly, walking dogs and playing sports. At last, she gave a long sigh before speaking; “I take it they’re treating you well at this ‘Yuuei’. You certainly look well, considering the last time I saw you…” Her muscles tensed as the memories came slashing back. The beast, its fearsome snarl, its claws, the pain. “Well.” She forced a cold smile onto her lips. “Let’s not think about that right now.”
The bastard who had broken into their home and attacked her would get his, that she had already promised herself long ago.

"Yes, it’s me" she said. "Who else would it be?"
Well honestly, since you asked.
"A stranger. A shapeshifter. A kidnapper. A stalker. An assassin. A spy. You could be many things. Many people." Miku said. She may have been young but she wasnt stupid. She knew the dangers. The stranger dangers.
"I take it they’re treating you well at this ‘UA’. You certainly look well, considering the last time I saw you…" she spoke. But Miku was ready, mentally prepared. She was not gonna answer her anymore questions. This woman needed to answer her now.
"How did you track me here? After all these years? What happened to you? Where were you?"
These were her questions. The first two were about how this woman found Miku and why now. The last two were more to see if this really is her mother. G told her his story. Now she needed to see if this womans story fits in to make the big picture. And if they contrasted. She needed to know who was truthful and who was a liar

| | Veronica smirked a little when Miku said she could have been an assassin. She was right, just not in the way she thought she was. At least the girl was intelligent enough to consider the possibilities of her situation. Perhaps she had inherited more from her than just her looks, after all.
“Busy,” she said with an airy shrug in response to Miku’s questions. “I believed you were killed, just like your father was. I had to lie low for a bit and rebuild myself. It’s taken more time than I expected it would, but I have myself in order now.”
Another new identity, another new home. ‘Veronica Blair’ was her true name – well, sort of; ‘Blair’ was not the surname she had been born with, but like hell would she ever have kept the name of her scumbag parents after what they did. She had used a myriad of fake names over the years for purchasing new places to live and appearing to others as a seemingly ordinary, harmless civilian unconnected to crime. ‘Veronica Blair’ was the name the underworld knew; this child would remember her as Lena Hanabira, and the apartment she owned now belonged to her current fake identity, Zana Edmonton.
She had not changed her physical appearance much this time, however, so surely Miku should recognise her. Had something been done to this kid’s head? She did not even seem to remember much of the whole attacked by a monster thing, which stood out to Veronica a lot more.
“You’re aware that your little school has drawn global attention, yes?” she said in response to Miku asking how she tracked her down. “It’s hard to find anyone who isn’t talking about it in the Quirker community. Everyone wants to know what kind of students are being trained there.” Especially in the seedier side of the community. It was important to know what kind of ‘Pro Heroes’ they would be coming up against in the future. “So rumours spread about what kind of kids they admitted in there, one way or another; someone’s leaking info to someone, and stuff like that gets around. And one of these rumours described a little blonde girl who controls plants. I know you inherited a plant-controlling Quirk from your father. It was just a case of putting two and two together. Now, my turn.” She turned to face Miku. “Where have you been the last few years?”

"Busy" was the only thing she said. Which Miku found simply impossible. But then,she continued "I believed you were killed, just like your father was. I had to lie low for a bit and rebuild myself. It’s taken more time than I expected it would, but I have myself in order now."
Well,she answered why she only tried reaching out to her now.
She then answered another question.
"You’re aware that your little school has drawn global attention, yes?" The woman said. And, she had a point. That thought never occured to her. The woman continued
"It’s hard to find anyone who isn’t talking about it in the Quirker community. Everyone wants to know what kind of students are being trained there." and that there was another good point.
"So rumours spread about what kind of kids they admitted in there, one way or another; someone’s leaking info to someone, and stuff like that gets around. And one of these rumours described a little blonde girl who controls plants. I know you inherited a plant-controlling Quirk from your father. It was just a case of putting two and two together. Now, my turn." she turned to face Miku. "Where have you been the last few years?"
"I've been here in Tokyo" Miku said and matched her prior vague comment when the woman said she was 'busy'. And then she matched her snark level. "I believed you were killed. Just like my father was. So someone else found me and raised me"

| | Of course, seeing your parents cut down before you was traumatising, was it not? Veronica could not say she would have cared if she saw her own parents butchered; she would probably have laughed her head off. Perhaps that was why it took until then for it to click that Miku’s trauma was the source of her spotty memory.
What stood out to Veronica the most though was her statement that ‘someone else’ had been raising her.
“Who?” she asked, her eyes narrowing suspiciously. “What’s their name? And you say they ‘found’ you – where?”

Miku mentaly berated herself when she let that slip. How can she say to her 'mother' that her 'killer' took her away and raised her. Simple. She couldnt.
"I cant say that. He told me not to" Miku said...and again slipped, now she let it slip that the 'someone' is male.
"I HAVE TO STOP TALKING!!!" Miku mentally panicked

| | Miku’s refusal to answer irked Veronica and then some, as well as raised her suspicions to the moon. This ‘he’ could easily be one of her enemies, which would certainly explain Miku’s reluctance to tell her anything. It was not like Veronica had a shortage of enemies.
“It doesn’t matter what he told you,” she said. “I’m your mother. Answer me, Miku. Who is he?”
She stood and moved in front of Miku, staring down at her with dark seriousness.

"It doesn’t matter what he told you" she insisted. "I’m your mother. Answer me, Miku. Who is he?"
Miku felt backed into a corner. She still wasnt quite convinced that this was her mother. "What will you do to him then?" she asked as she slightly backed away
She wants this woman to prove herself as her mother. But Miku cant think of a way to prove it. She doesnt remember anything, not even her name. How can she trust this possible shapeshifting stranger?

| | Miku was protecting him, whoever he was. That much was clear. So, he must have meant a lot to her. An enemy trying to turn her own child against her? It was a strong possibility, and one that made her simmer. Not because she cared about the kid that much, but just because someone out there having the audacity to do such a thing was beyond infuriating.
That was if that was what was going on, which she still needed to find out, because Miku insisted on being awkward. Truthfully, Veronica had not expected her statement of ‘I am your mother’ to force an answer. Her own mother meant very little to her, so she had doubted deep down it would work.
“That all depends on who he is,” she said, maintaining her stern expression. “If he’s no one, then nothing. But I don’t know that until you tell me, do I?”

Miku couldnt keep it in any longer. The womans insistence drew out an answer from Miku
"I-I dont actually know his name. H-He never told me. I u-used to call him dad. Umm...he.....umm...he has white hair, semi broken sunglasses, usually wears a white t-shirt and a black jacket, has a gold skull necklace and two purple tattoo's"
This woman was starting to scare her. And she couldnt just run and scream stranger danger to the police,if she turned out to be her actual mother. She couldnt even fight the woman with her Quirk. She was an adult and she knew what Miku could do. While she most certainly didnt know her adoptive fathers real name. She did know his villain name, which she refused to say. But she did decide to give this woman a description.
She was curious, if this description rang a bell to the woman. If she knew him, then she really was her mother. Miku considered showing her adoptive fathers photo that she had on her phone. But she didnt want to show it. At least not yet

| | Miku’s description left Veronica staring at her as though she had spoken an alien language. She began to shake. Not from fear, but from a combination of shock and rage. Her fists balled. Her teeth clenched.
It was not possible. It just could not be.
“Are you kidding me?” she exclaimed.
Her outburst drew instant glances from the nearest park-goers. Shit. Normally she swore she would not be so foolish as to draw so much attention to herself, but the sheer shock of this reveal had been too much. Her mind was reeling. She felt as though she were being batted about by a cyclone. This was somehow worse than it being one of her long-time enemies.
She realised the way she was standing in front of Miku did not help her to look like she was not threatening her, so she hurriedly sat beside her again, not looking at her. A shadow had fallen over her entire being. She still trembled.
“That’s the bastard who broke into our home, Miku,” she said. “The one who killed your father and almost killed me. I know you don’t remember, but you have to. And when you do, I expect you’ll rethink your relationship with this man!”

"Are you kidding me?" she exclaimed.
Miku backed away, scared of her angry outburst, scared.
Her outburst drew instant glances from the nearest park-goers. She realised the way she was standing in front of Miku did not help her to look like she was not threatening her, so she hurriedly sat beside her again, not looking at her. A shadow had fallen over the both of them.
"That’s the bastard who broke into our home, Miku" she said. "The one who killed your father and almost killed me. I know you don’t remember, but you have to. And when you do, I expect you’ll rethink your relationship with this man!"
She felt that this confirmed to her that this woman was indeed her mother. Miku was silent for a moment. Until she spoke "I know........... I know who and what he is............... He told me recently, right before I moved to UA. I-I already am rethinking everything. I dont know what to do anymore."
