August 12th, 2074 at 12 pm.
Selena wasn't much of a shopping girl. But she did love to browse every once in a while. Her mom suggested that she might need some new clothes to blend into the new life here in Japan. So she decided to hit the Mustafu Shopping District to see what they have. In truth, she did miss New York a bit. The busy streets filled with people going to work. The hustle and bustle of children playing. The multiple large buildings and shopping centers. But she was happy to be here in Japan- to make new memories. She was still waiting on a few things to fall through, but thanks to her uncle's wealth, and soon to be, her mothers' wealth, she won't have to worry about getting an actual paying job. Which would give her enough time to pursue her degree in Law Enforcement once she got the chance to.
But for today, she would relax and enjoy what Musutafu. It was definitely different than New York, but they also had tons of stores as well. Clothing stores, tech, food. You name it. Speaking of clothes. Selena saw a clothing store across the way. Maybe they had what she was looking for. She definitely needed to update her wardrobe. So she stepped inside to take a look.

Meanwhile As Selena was going to the clothing store, another creature was walking around the Musutafu Shopping District. It was the rare quirked animal. A centipede. It was a pure animal as it had no quirk that increased its intelligence like it did the Perry the Possum also known as PawMight. No, this animal had a mutation that incrased all its natural abilities to the max. So superhuman or in this case superbug.
This 20 centimeter tall centipede walked around the Shopping District, still exploring and wanting to conquer human habitat. But also in a way lost as it didnt go here much.
Eventually it saw a building and a human enter said building. Coincidentally, the human was non other than Selena Haymaker. As she opened the door to enter. The insect ran in her direction and quickly scurried next to her past her in the building, believing to be a good place with food. Only to fool itself and find itself in a clothing store.
Seeing many people, it hid and tried to gnaw on some clothing. A dress perhaps. Well whatever it was, it tried to bite it and pull it down and rip it. Of course, seeing it was cloth, it wasnt tasty at all

Selena could have sworn something brushed up against her leg. Probably just the wind. As she entered, a sales lady walked up to her. It reminded Selena one of the stuck-up pretty women who thought she looked better than everyone else. Her red hair did in wacky fashion. A giant white fur coat with although it was summer. Fake diamonds everywhere. Yep... she would be a ringer in New York.
"Good afternoon, my dear," greeted the woman, looking Selena up and down. She gave Selena a gross look once she was done. "Oh, plain blue dresses were last season," she commented rather rudely. "May I suggest our special summer collection?" She pulled out a floral dress, which Selena waved away. "No," Selena said, already feeling agitated. "How about our Mejoung Dejoung collection?" the sales lady asked, pulling out a white dress with fur on it. "Ma'am... It's literally ninety-eight degrees outside," Selena said looking at her as though she was stupid.
"Well maybe-" "MA'AM!" Selena yelled to get her attention. "All I want is a nice blue dress for a party." The sales lady looked at her as though she was offended. "But of course," she said lowly, heading to the rack with the blue dress. "If you only want simple things I suppose- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! THERE IS GIANT GREEN BUG EATING AT THE DRESSES!" Selena looked to see a green centipede munching on a dress. It was so cute! "GET THE EXTERMINATOR!" the woman yelled, running around the store.

The dress was not tasty to eat at all. It was bad, it soon spit it out, but then jumped at the sudden shriek of someone. It looked at the ugly woman who was hysterical and she dared to use the E word. That made the animal hiss and growl at her and even spit a bit of acid at the woman. It was something that the young Haymaker would have to block, otherwise it would dangerously burn an innocent, no matter how annoying she was.
Meanwhile, the centipede would scurry away in a corner of the store. Probably stirring more trouble with anyone who would see it. After all, things have gotten hysterical and the animal was just alarmed as well due to the loud noise. The animal ran around, scurried around and tried to find a corner to hide in. Along the way, it looked at the clothes, dresses, bags, shoes and whatever it passed. All it looked for was more food. But nothing here looked edible which was disappointing. It did look at some people as it scurried and passed them. Wondering should it dare one day to try and hunt. Well, for that it was still too weak. But maybe one day. Now tho it hid

Awww. The poor thing was scared. Selena agreed with the creature- she would be scared too if that was the first thing she saw. A woman covered in a ton of fur with wild crazy hair. To be honest, Selena laughed a little as the woman jumped on the counter, freaking out and crying over a small creature who was probably just looking for something to eat.
The other customers were not to thrill either. As the creature scurried past their feet, they panicked and yelled, running out of the store in fear. "My customers! My beautiful, spending customers!" the woman yelled in despair is they left through the door. Her eyes were filled with hysterical rage as she turned her sights to the creature that was chewing on her lovely dresses. "You. Despicable. Creature! You destroy my dresses. You foul-."
Selena put her hand up to the woman. "Ma'am," Selena said calmly with a smile. "Your incisive yelling is only scaring the cute little guy further." The woman was about to protest, but Selena gave her a serious, frightening look. "If you can shut up for a couple of minutes, not only will be able to get it out of your store (maybe), but I will purchase the dress that was damaged and the one I was looking for."
The woman stayed silent, still standing on the counter, as Selena slowly and calmly approached the creature. She pulled out some chips from her bag that she usually saved for her afternoon snack. "Ahhh, you are so cute," Selena said, putting a chip on the ground. "Don't worry the mean old lady won't hurt you." Selena never really grew up as the girly-girl type that most people would have envisioned her to be. She went to the military academy in New York- just for fun! So guns, cop work, even bugs- those were the things Selena loved. Hopefully the bug would not be too shy and come to enjoy the delicious chips she had.

After its acid spitting at the woman. The blonde one spoke and she seemed more friendly. She pulled out some snacks and spoke. She put a chip on the ground and the animal walked over to it, leaving a trail of acidic saliva. It picked up the potato chip and ate it. If Selena kept up her friendly demenaour, the quirked bug would follow her out of the store or where ever.
The other woman that was hostile got off lucky. Because this insect couldntve been so much more worse. She got off scott free, as the bug followed the blonde girl Selena. Almost hypnotized. Chips were great. Maybe one of its favorite snacks. This trick with the chips would earn the allegiance of the animal to Selena. Albeit temporary, because this animal wasnt trained to stay permanetly with anyone as a pet. People have tried. But either they leave the animal or the animal leaves them. The only person sadly it truly likes is safe at UA, and sadly the animal cant be at UA, otherwise it be kicked out or the students would be in trouble. Big sad. But maybe one day, the animal would become smart and would be able to communicate normal with humans about its needs. Kind of like that possum thats everywhere

As the creature ate at the chips, Selena gave a bright smile. She always loved strange creatures. She had seen a few in New York, but they seem to be in abundance here in Japan. And Selena loved it. In a way, she was strange herself. She turned to the woman on the counter. Selena laughed a little on the inside. All that fuss over one quirk bug. Really? "As promised, I will buy the ruined dress along with a brand new one to go with it," she told the saleswoman. "But the creature-" she started, looking disgusted with the centipede. "Was not bothering you," Selena finished, looking seriously at the woman. "It was just hungry. So if you don't mind, swipe my card, and my friend and I would be on our way," Selena added, referring to the creature as a friend.
The woman looked at Selena as though she was crazy. But she needed the money now that all her customers were chased away. She swiped Selena's card and handed her purchases. "Come along Midori," Selena said with a smile, opening the door for the creature. "You don't mind calling you Midori, do you? I could use the company instead of being with people like-" She looked at the saleswoman with disgust. "That," she finished. "Plus I have more chips and I can't eat them alone."

The animal minded its own business and just ate the chips, but upon hearing a certain name. It perked up. The animal looked around hoping to see Honey the squirrel girl or Hatsumomo the green woman. But none were there. It shook, much like how a dog shakes when it is wet. But it shook to try and reveal something. Hidden behind the white mane of its fur. It was a collar by Hatsumomo and it had the name. Midori. Maybe thats where this girl knew the name from.
The critter looked up at the blonde human female as she said with a smile to follow. The animal curiously followed her. Hey, as long as she had more food it was fine. Maybe this will be a new human friend or whatever they call eachother. Still though, it was rare for a human to be friendly with it. Maybe it hasnt found the right one. Granted, the right human seemed to be behind lock and key in that place they called UA or whatever. But still, the animal shouldnt think about that. Food! It was nice and tasty, especially if it was "c̵͕̥͂͝h̶͈͚̑͑a̷͎͉͐̏a̷̭̞͑ạ̵̈́͐ͅa̴̗͑̕p̷̙͆p̶̤̃p̴̤̎s̷͎̘͑͐s̶̰̝̀s̸̞̔̚" it spoke with its garbled and barely understandable voice as it tried to speak human

Selena smiled when the creature followed her. Not that she wanted a pet or anything. She just wanted to hang with someone- or something in this case- that wasn't a normal human. Such as the saleslady. God, that was annoying. Selena managed to catch the collar that the creature showed to her. "Oh, your name is Midori," Selena said in surprise as the two walked down the sidewalk. "I was only calling you that because you were green." She fed the creature more chips as they walked, wondering what store to go to next. She could use some more metal for her guns. They were kind of getting worn down after years of use.
She went into the tech store with the creature. Desmoshi had told her about this place before. Apparently the man worked with all sorts of equipment for heroes that stayed close to Musutafu. The store was filled with high-tech gizmos and other equipment that could use for special missions. "Hey there, ma'am," the man said with a smile. "What can I get you for today?" Selena gave a smile as she pulled out two long metal pistols and place it in front of him, along with her sidekick's license. "The metal is wearing down on these. Think you can give it an upgrade?"
"Sure," he said inspecting the weapon closer. "Ooooh. A carbine based model, refined with special metal to absorb light and other elemental sources. No bullets required of course." He looked down to see the creature. "That is so cool," he said coming from behind the counter. "I have never seen one of these before? Is this a robot?" Selena shook her head. "Nope, this is my friend for the day. I like the company it keeps." The man nodded his head and pulled out a bag of chips. "I was going to eat these for lunch. But I wasn't hungry. So, here you go little guy." He places the bag of chips in front of the creature and continued talking to Selena, describing the process that he would be doing.

"Yah!" the creature replied, using the only word it COULD pronounce when she said the Midori thing. Yes, thats what Honey and Hatsumomo called it. Hatsumomo being the one that gave the collar. It followed the human, Selena. And soon she went to a new place. The animal yawned as it saw the techy stuff that it could not comprehend. She then spoke to a man. And the animal just blinked as it looked at them. Selena put her metal things on a table or whatever and some document paper like thing. She spoke about metal and up grades?
The male of the two took the item of metal and inspected it closey as he talked human gibberish. And thats when he saw the animal. The animals instinct was to hide behind Selena, but his reaction was an unexpected one. The man was happy to see the creature? The critter approached and did not hid anymore behind Selena, but stood beside her. Selena gave her answer. And then the MAN FED IT!! The animal happily grabbed the chips in its mouth and munched on it. And it decided to make sure to protect this place from bad guys if they come here. It was glad to make people happy as long as they feed it.

Selena smiled as Midori chomped on the chips. It was actually cute and very friendly. As Selena went through the rest of the shop, the creature stood guard, as though protecting the place. "Well, aren't we a little hero?" Selena asked smiling. As she continued her shopping for more parts, the dinging of the door sounded through the store. Three suspicious-looking men walked in, looking around, two of them going to the back of the store where Selena was. Selena was not stupid. She had jerks do this in New York. Although she didn't have her guns, she was ready for the worse.
The man stood in front of the counter. "Hey man," he said looking at the shopkeep. "I need something from you." The shopkeep looked at him with a smile. "Yes, sir. How can I help?" The man pulled out a gun and aim it at the shopkeep. "By giving me all the money in the register, stupid!" The man yelled at the shopkeep. The two men in the back of the store pointed their guns at Selena. One of them smiled and said, "Hey girl. Maybe when we are done here you can come with us?" Here they are robbing a store. And they were flirting with an actual sidekick. Too bad that they didn't know that.
"Sorry," Selena said with a smile, gold steam coming from her mouth. "You are not my type." A flash of light and a couple of grunts later, both assailants were on the ground, Selena melting their guns in her bare hands. She turned her attention to the last one. "Woah, now cutie," the man said pointing the gun at the shopkeep's face. "Don't make any more moves, hero. Or this won't end pretty for the shopkeep here. All I want is the money!" Selena was cautious. One wrong move and the shopkeep could get hurt.

When Selena spoke to it about the cute hero comment she made, the creature just tilted its head to the side, slightly confused. But nevertheless the animal let the girl do her shopping or whatever. After some time passed, there were 3 shifty looking humans that showed up. The animal soon approached one of them carefully.
The man arrived at the counter and spoke and then suddenly pulled out a firearm. The others challenged Selena, but she used her Quirk. And their guns melted and she dealt with them. There was only one left. The one the animal had initially approached. He seemed completely distracted by her, perfect~
The animal spat its acidic saliva at the mans hand and gun. Once its acid came in contact. It melted the gun and burned the mans hand. The animal growled as it approached the thuggish man. It growled in a threatening tone as it was ready to further attack the man and bite it. No one knew how dangerous this bug can be. And how big it can get. Luckily both Selena and the bug managed to defeat or at least stop the bad guys from harming anyone. But was the battle over yet? Oh the man better not even think of kicking it.

This situation had become a hostage situation. Selena was caught in a situation where someone could die if she made the wrong move. With all the law enforcement training her mom gave her, she was not prepared for this. But she had to keep her cool. She had to look for an opening and take as soon as the chance arrived. Her guns were still on the counter. If she could just reach them. "Don't think about it, hero," the man said holding the gun at the shopkeep. "Any sudden movements and this would be the last weapon this shopkeep sees."
Crap. This was bad. Pulling out her phone to call a pro would end badly. It would take something amazing to... "Aaaaah!" the man screamed, clutching his hand dropping his gun. Looks like Midori was coming to the rescue. The acid spittle from the centipede landed on the man's gun hand, severely burning his hand and melting away his gun. He turned to the green bug. "You little-!" he said raising his foot.
He didn't get to complete his kick as the clicking sound made him stop in mid-motion. He turned to send the end of a barrel in his face and the golden angry eyes of the heroine. "Do it," Selena said with a serious tone. "I dare you." He looked at Selena then her gun. He bent down and petted the creature with his uninjured hand. He laid flat on the ground as a means of surrender. "Smart move," Selena said.
One hour later.
The cops had come and taken the bad guys away, Selena giving a full report on what had transpired- except for the Midori part. She wasn't sure if the creature wanted his privacy disturbed by a bunch of cops trying to take him in. He stood next to her, feeding him chips. She told the cops that it was her pet, lying to them so they wouldn't mess with Midori. Once the cops had left, the man gave them a free-of-charge bill for their help, along with more chips. Selena left with Midori,
After she found a bench somewhere in the park, she patted the spot next to her, signaling for the centipede to sit next to her. "What a day." She put a bag of chips next to him. "I bet you like it here, don't you?" She sadly looked at the sky. She missed home. She missed being in the busy streets and the loud noises. But here it was... quiet for her.

As the bug melted the gun. The man tried to kick it. As he raised his leg, the animal growled as it prepared to reveal its final form. But luckily Selena stopped the man, making him lower his leg and causing the animal to calm down. And thus all seemed well. The animal stood behind the human man that was threatened. And it didnt know what to do. Thus some time passed, or an hour to be exact.
The men in blue arrived and took care of the bad people. The animal hid and stayed well hidden. Since it was scared the cops might cage it. But seeing chips, it strategically scurried over to her and ate the chips and of course hid behind her. When questioned she told the men in blue that it was her pet. Once the scary blue people left, the man gave them a strange pieve of paper bill for their help, along with more chips. The unlikely duo soon left
They found a bench in the park and she patted a place next to her. The bug jumped up and sat beside her. "Yah" it spoke as it can only say that. It agreed, it was a day. And of course it likes it here. When she looked up, the animal did as well. But it saw nothing. It looked curiously why she was so sad.

Selena continued to look at the sky, hoping to find an answer. She loved Japan. She loved the chance to get to work under Tobias-sama. But there was a part of her that still wanted to be in New York. Sure she could go visit there. But it wasn't the same for her. "Since coming to Japan, I was excited for a moment. I was finally getting a chance to work with my favorite pro hero. I would get to learn from the best." Selena looked at the green creature that sat next to her. A sad smile came across her face. "But I miss home. I miss being in New York." She petted the creature giving it more chips. "I bet you have a good home, Midori," she assumed, due to the collar that it was wearing. "I bet you feel free and you can always go back to your home and be happy."
Did she really wanted to be here? Yes, in a way. She wanted to be a detective. She wanted to serve under the Informant. And she was happy for her moms. They were pros now and they could serve the public like they always wanted to. But why did she miss home? She didn't have friends there. And all of her relatives were here in Japan. "Home is supposed to be where the heart is? So why does my heart want to be back in New York?" she wondered out loud to Midori.
