She was sitting on one of the containers close to the auction warehouse, there were a few spread out around it for earlier auctions probably, she only was here to get a bit of information. She wasn't ready to fight, or well that's what he told her and she would do everything for him. She simply did not like it, but she understood, it was clear by the chilly feeling in the air and what Rowan had as a problem with her red-burning hot hands, was now the same but yet not, it was cold. It was a form of ice that Lady possessed, she slowed down the molecules instead of quickening and heating them up and when they got really slow and chilly, ice appeared. This quirk might even have had effect on how she looked because the body first had perfect raven black hair and dark coloured eyes, that's what the doctor had shown her and look at her now. Her white hair, almost silvery coloured blew in front of her face, after a couple of weeks now, she got used to it. She grinned, it was interesting to see how everyone in this little world was so self-absorbed and would not pay attention to one girl in the dark of the night, how would ever anyone think they were scary was beyond her. Maybe because she simply agreed with them, she did not know, she wasn't here for that. It was rather popular, she pulled up her hands, patches of ice were now clinging to the side of the container and she muttered an oops to herself, she understood very well why they held her back, that still wasn't fun though. But one thing was for sure, she had not seen any of the students here, that meant she would not bump into Rowan here, pity, but at least that meant she wasn't losing out on anything at this point. She hoped there would be some more fun to do and she stood up and brushed her hair behind her, she took out her phone to text she was coming back but there only training would wait on her more and she did not feel like that either. No matter how much love paid for, the bruises were definitely no part of the fun and she muttered to herself. One day, she would be good enough and the training would be over and done with. She jumped with a loud thud down from the container and looked again at her screen, it wasn't that late, but dark enough for not every idiot to see her, even if she had white hair, it was time to go home. |

Today’s auctions had not gone well for Goro. A good deal of the lots were bizarre miscellany that Goro had zero interest in; Mercury’s merchandise, including figures, T-Shirts, hats, and frankly disturbing mouse mats; speedboats that they’d probably looted from Semper Fi for an extra buck or two, and other such items that he just didn’t see any use in.
And the lots that he was interested in, he’d been outbid almost every time! Had he earned Mother’s trust enough to have unlimited access to the Gifted Underground’s funds, he’d probably still lose out to some of the other bidders. They seemed almost determined to drive themselves into debt with Pluto; in fact, his superhuman hearing had picked up one muttering to himself, hoping Mercury would enslave him for his debts. What the fuck’s wrong with these people?
He needed a breath of fresh air. In the middle of the bid for yet another of Mercury’s mouse pad designs, he’d stood up and walked out. The cool air on his face was helping already, and the moment the pale moonlight hit his face the tension in his shoulders disappeared. God, why can’t they just do the auctions outside, if the lots aren’t even going to be there?
There was only one other person outside. His eyes told him that she was a stranger, that her pale silver hair and even paler skin was unfamiliar, but his hearing told him different. The shape of her face, of her body, even her posture, was familiar. Too familiar.
“Lady?” He called, a little apprehensive. She wasn’t standing the way Rowan did, if it was her it was… well, the other her.
What on earth had happened to make them, or her, look that way?

She kicked at a little pebble that she saw, it wasn't late but she should go. She had no idea how he would react if they told him she went out, on her own. Without permission. She had thought it would be more fun, surely some costs were a lot against the benefits but she had at least two big benefits, maybe even three if you considered the icey power that she had now. Lady would plan to leave the area of the auction, she couldn't get inside anyway, they did not know her, they would not know her and so on. She turned her head shortly at the entrance, she thought she heard someone, but that was okay, they did not know her after all. She turned away but stopped when she heard her name. She had literally paid no attention to who came outside, her eyes simply saw someone but did not see any further. Great, this was going to be fun. In the most sarcastic way, but he did not sound like that, so she turned back, her feet already making a small pool of ice around it as her control over her quirk was limit, barely none, it would just do that, as long as she did not accidentally let it implode it would be fine.
But now that her eyes adjusted again from the little light to the dark, she could see it clearly, the bat wings, there was only one person with those wings that she knew and that would know her and she showed off her brightest smile, "Well well look who we have here." But she sounded happy, anticipated, maybe even a little excited. Seeing the same damn faces all day to focus on training and everything surely was boring as hell, what a bore but now, now she could bump into someone else. "I won't deny it, it's good to see you. However, please don't tell anyone you saw me. I am not suppose to be here." She obviously rolled her eyes at that statement and brushed the white hair over her shoulder, before she gave a tiny smile again, "Found anything you liked in there?" She was after all really curious to what they sold in there and why she could not get in, the security was well but not yet well enough, could she not just come in his name, who cared about it? She hoped she literally meant everything to him as he did to her, right?

So, he was right. That WAS Lady. At least his eyes and ears weren’t playing tricks on him. At first, she seemed none too happy to see him, but as he got a little closer, her expression brightened. Was she feigning it to try and get something from him, or was she like Izumi, and for some reason thought Goro was worth being around?
‘I am not supposed to be here’, huh? That, along with the ice he could hear growing around her feet, only made him more interested in just what exactly had happened to her. “And why would that be?” Goro asked. “Just from observation, it certainly doesn’t appear that would be simply due to your attending UA.”
He took another step forward, to get a good look at what else had changed, and shivered as he did so. The air around her wasn’t quite as cold as around that boy at Semper Fi, but it was still a noticeable drop. “So, tell me, is Rowan still in there, or is it all you now?”
When she asked if he’d found anything he liked in the auctions, he just sighed. “Not today, at the very least. All they’re selling today is the merchandise of the auctioneer. And the military tech they’re selling on the other days, they won’t even disclose what’s truly being bet on.” He pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance. “There might be something of value up for auction later, but I’m not sure. I stepped outside to get a break from all the otaku idiots betting on T-shirts just because they have a girl on them.”

Goro was someone who understood them, eh her, she was now alone which was a very pleasant change. So that was the sole reason why she got happy. Lady simply waited for him to get closer and she was surely smiling when he did but she was quick. She needed him to not say that she was here to anyone. She wasn't ready yet, they had said, her new quirk was not in her control and even if she had not been entirely in control of Rowan's quirk the cold surrounding here was just as unpleasant as the heat that Rowan had created. Her smirk only grew bigger because of Goro's question, "Who said anything about attending U.A. Though it could be seen as comparable, my trainers don't want me out of their sight." She pointed at the ice around her feet which should make matters quite clear, "Trust is a hard thing to obtain in these parts." Especially when she was new, when she was split, it was a miracle they even allowed her in, she had no idea what Nick had done to make her able to get this or how much someone else was doing, but let's not think about that.
She laughed when he asked about Rowan, "Oh, oh no she is gone, we are separated now. Which was a strange and quite painful procedure but it was so worth it. She is gone and I can finally do whatever I want and nobody is the wiser." She leaned on her left leg and stomped with her right on the ground to crack the ice, focus. She had to focus on not using it, that's what her teachers had told her but being distracted is what made the issue bigger. So she tried to distract herself and ask about the auction, she had come here to find useful information but not being let in was a very big obstacle of her plan. She scrunched up her face, "Seriously some people are idiots." That's why they came, really they deserved to be cleansed of this world, there was only room for the superior. They should be next on their list, for idiots like them to exist and create such an imagine of the superior quirk user it was despicable. "Hm, seems I came for nothing than, I hoped to learn what they were selling indeed but they wouldn't let me in." She shrugged, one day she might be more famous.

So, she wasn’t attending UA anymore. Goro should’ve focused on that when it’d been said, but it was what she’d said just after that drew his attention instead, for it had reminded him of his own childhood. For just a moment, he was back in one of the many ‘gyms’ in Mother’s home, beaten half to death on the floor, a gruff voice screaming at him to get back up and fight. To Lady, all she’d notice was his eyes widen, the fur on his wings stand on end, before he shook his head and seemed back to normal. “Trust is earned, not given freely by people like us,” he muttered eventually, as if to cover up his flashback. If he had been curious about the UA issue, any questions he’d have were quickly answered, by something that prompted a thousand more. They’re separated now? Just like that? “How does that work, then? Some type of Quirk, I presume?” Goro asked, without missing a beat. He had a lot of other questions, but he didn’t want to overwhelm Lady. “Any idea what that procedure would do to one without a split personality already?” The sound of ice cracking rang out through the lot around them, and Goro cringed ever so slightly from how loud it was. The ice was also interesting, did that mean this splitting procedure could alter one’s Quirk? The implications of such a thing for Quirk science could be huge. She seemed like she was about to leave, but Goro had more to ask her. He had to convince her to stay, and there was only one way he knew how. “No, the interesting auctions should be due to start soon. I left to get a breath of fresh air, so I would be calm when they begin. If I bring you along with me as a guest, they should allow you in.” Goro put a hand to his chin in thought. “Are you simply intending to observe, or do you want to actually buy something?” Rosey |

Lady had no idea by the sort of triggers she threw at Goro or that he was lost in thought for a second and she would just continue talking about the stupidity of her days right now without actually saying what changed. It was not that she wanted to but there was so much to tell and think about that it just simply slipped her mind, it felt obvious that she would win and have her body but that wasn't so obvious to everyone of course. She nodded though when Goro spoke, "Yes and I get that but I thought that they would well ehm they would know each other? So if you jump up and say, hi I am with so-and-so, I expected them to be like: oh okay." But of course that was the easy version, she would even suggest to proof it but that wasn't worth their time and so on. Bleh it was ridiculous.
"I have no idea, I wasn't allowed to know they sedated me and when I woke up..." She shivered, god that pain, she thought only Rowan would feel it but that wasn't the case, "It was disastrous painful but after that it was so worthy. I think they said I was the first one but I am not entirely sure if they did." It was obvious that his second question made her ponder, as she crossed her arms and tapped her left cheek with her index finger, "Hmm, no idea. I barely got time to ask, surely they were creepy though." She smiled though after she shivered for a second time, she liked Goro, he understood them, eh her, wow that was getting used to all of a sudden. But at one point it was enough and now that he saw her, she probably had to speed off before someone would be informed or came to find her and might think she was here, because putting two and two together wasn't that difficult. She had wanted to come here before.
She looked at her potential friend, or were they friends already? She smirked, the right side of her lips curling up, "Oh, no I was only here to watch and see what was all out there, if you get my drift." It would be interesting if he could bring her along and she would be able to see, besides she had no money and she had no intention of either using Nick's or getting a hit on her head from using his.

With the shock from his flashback still fading, Goro couldn’t find anything to respond to Lady’s complaint with. He turned his head away, and mumbled “I guess,” hoping she wouldn’t question his shift in mood.
Once he’d recovered, her reply to his question made him rub a hand across his face. “Of course, you were sedated…” He answered, a hint of bitter humour tingeing his voice. “If Nick had anything to do with your freedom, he wouldn’t want you or Rowan to have to experience something like that. And it wouldn’t be hard for him to get the anesthetic…” He adjusted his glasses at that thought, to try and cover his grimace. Why did Nick get to have all these connections, all this love, and he…
There was no time to think about that at the moment. The auction was about to liven up again, and he didn’t want to spend another moment moping out back. He nodded at Lady’s reply, having not expected her to have money on her anyway, and waved her over to the door back in.
The guard looked him over, looked Lady over, and made an expression as if he’d just been proven wrong and didn’t want to admit it. It seemed Lady’s earlier complaining hadn’t been simply hypothetical. The guard let them through despite this, back into the throng of over-excited buyers mixed with the stoic gazes of corrupt businessmen. Goro found his previous seat rather quickly, and patted the small space next to him that Lady could just about squeeze into.
The next auction hadn't quite started yet, and the room was filled to the brim with noise, noise that made Goro wish he could stride right back out of the place. It was so loud, so chaotic that he could barely make out any distinct shapes within the mess; any coherent echoes were lost in all the new noises coming from the gaping maws of ugly bastards.

She had no idea what the sudden mood shift was about and for some reason, well she had a good reason, she did not feel like asking. It was never good when moods would change around and especially not if they were shutting her out and she had enough about her past or well her shared past with Rowan that she knew enough about not asking and she did pretend very hard that she did not notice and did not see. After all it seemed to be quite well and even if he asked her interesting questions, she wasn't able to answer.
She did not understand his reaction again, it was like the mood swing from before but now more with an air of annoyance, of course? She tilted her head to the right and looked at her friend as that is what she considered Goro. she smiled a little happy when he mentioned the name of Nick, not missing in a heartbeat about the tone of his voice but it did not matter. "I hope he no longer cares about Rowan, that bitch is gone now and she has to be careful I am not bumping into her anymore." She licked her lips, because that would be another painful experience, "Besides, she was in a lot of pain, I can say it felt like someone literally being ripped out from her body." She grinned because that idea was wonderful.
She followed enthusiastic though now that she could be inside. She wanted to see, it would not be disappointing, she would have been able to achieve something by herself and she had a smug smile on her face when she passed the guard at the door and simply skipped after Goro. She would squeeze in next to Goro and looked around, she had no idea if she stood out with her white hair in here, there were so many different people around, "Are there you know other top ten people?" She looked around, it was easy to understand who was number ten and she gave a side-eye to Goro and smirked.
She wanted to see something interesting and it was obvious her eyes were looking for it and she might look like a teen but she was very sure about what she wanted and what she wanted to achieve so she could give the ice cold look at people and if it seemed that someone would approach them she let the air crack from the cold feeling around her, so much for no control and yet enough.

Goro took no joy in the knowledge of Rowan’s pain. Honestly, while she was misguided and foolish, he’d liked her as much as Lady, and thinking about her suffering made a deep part of him hurt. He wouldn’t voice any of this, as Lady’s dislike of her former… host(?) was clear, and he wasn’t about to upset her, or prompt an argument. With how wide she was grinning, how excited she was just talking about the event, it was impossible for him to speak up without his voice betraying him, so he stayed quiet, up until they were sat within the auction.
Lady squeezed in next to him; something he only noticed when she pushed into his arm. His echolocation might as well be useless here, and his spacial awareness went with it. He flinched away from her a little, but quickly realized that they were so crowded in he had no choice but to accept the invasion of his personal space.
She questioned him on what other villains were present, specifically if any other number 10 villains were present. He sighed, hoping the noise of it would be swallowed by the crowd. “I haven’t seen any of them here today. In fact, most haven’t been in Shinagawa at all, to my knowledge. I’m guessing any of the others have already heard about how… disappointing the lots today are, and haven’t bothered to show.”
Just as he finished speaking, a loud whistle filled the room, drawing the attention of the crowd and silencing them all immediately. Goro covered his ears, and flinched. Couldn’t they announce the start of the bidding in a less… painful fashion?
Mercury herself was not present for the smaller lots, and instead another, shorter girl wandered onto the stage, microphone in hand and chest adorned with a smiling picture of the absentee auctioneer. “Okay, everyone!” Her shrill, faux-friendly voice cut Goro’s ears worse than the whistle had, and her smile had a plastic fakeness to it. “Next up for auction is…”
She pulled a rope dangling from the ceiling, and behind her dropped a large board, with a picture of a crate of military-grade weaponry within. Nothing experimental, just rifles and explosive weaponry. They were obviously just looking to make a quick buck selling stuff they’d grabbed during Semper Fi. He sighed, and rested his chin in his hand. “See?”

Lady was oblivious to the dislike of her words to Goro and she would just happily chat on. She was obviously not a fan of Rowan and she could not wait to bump into her, traumatize her and so on. It would be fun. She was also very hype to be able to go inside and once they did she simply looked over her shoulder and waved at the guard with this fantastic grin on her face. "Bleh if it isn't even that interesting, I don't get why they did not let me in at all." She pulled on her shirt and looked at her body, just to see if she was dressed improper or teensy, "I don't look like a hero or anything, what could they in hells bells be afraid off." She rolled her eyes and followed Goro closely and squeezed in on the corner of where he sat, oblivious again about his dislike for her closeness and simply being in the personal bubble. The thing was that she could not keep her eyes away from everyone and everything around them.
So when her eyes adjusted and not noticed anyone similiar, not that she had met many people on this side, but you know bucket faces and so on, she kept her eye on the list of top ten people thus she turned to Goro to ask. Moving a little up and down that definitely showed how excited she was about being inside, maybe she had a teen look after all not that the white haired villain herself noticed.
She pouted with Goro's answer and nodded, yes, that made a lot of sense and she perked up when the whistle sound, missing that it hurt her friend and she looked around, interested in how it all quiet down and what they were announcing, "Oh please." She muttered to herself because of the woman on the stage, woman like her ruined it for everyone but she didn't plan to say anymore outside and she tried to see over the heads of the people in front of her and with a surprised and grumpy face she turned to Goro and nodded. "We could have gotten that ages ago, don't they have anything better or is everyone useless in getting that stuff themselves?" She didn't lower her voice really but because of the hype of others it was easy to miss for anyone but Goro. "We met there right, although you didn't know I was there as well. Semper Fi, during that exhibition, what was it, tour?"
