[i]Collab Between Man Emperor and Danyel[/i]
[hr]

What caught Haru off of his game was something that penetrated his mind so gently, as if he's tapped & stroked with care.

“You're grotesquely beautiful as you're inside me.” Lisara teased.

“Flattering,” Haru deadpanned. He tried to summon his quirk, but nothing happened. Must be a dreamscape, then. Damn mentalist quirks. “I don't think we've even met.”

“We will, soon enough.” The dreaming turns into something resembling Haru to be precise. Perhaps a distant future where he got normal skin while having his Quirk intact and hefty treats like All Might merchandise around him, which later turned into visual cues of vanity to secrecy of Heroes then vs now.

The sensation of memories, not now but from the future looked deceiving yet enticing, it's a distant memory of Lisara & Haru being together in Eirei not too far from now.

“You know that he's going to get back up anytime now and the Police aren't taking your side.” Lisara refers to a much later event.

“What is this… sorcery that you're trying to use on me?” Haru questioned. He was quite proud of his mutation, since it was a constant reminder of his heroic father, one of two great inspirations for him. He could never imagine himself voluntarily giving it up for anything, Creature Rejection Clan idiots be damned. “Are you trying to tell me that you can tell the future?” He knew of only one other person with future sight, and that was Sir Nighteye. Even then, Haru had never taken visions as inscribed in stone. They can always change… right?

“These… cannot happen. These are false. Lies! Return me to reality at once, woman!” Haru hissed. Oh no, just because the villain was a lady didn't mean he'd pull his punches. After all… a villain's a villain.

“It depends on how you'll reach it, but sooner or later, you'll be dying light if you don't pick up what's yours.”

Whatever that meant, she muses of the idea of breaking Haru and curious about his long term progress.

“Have you tried living your best potential?”

“What are you on about?” Haru decided to entertain the witch, if only to make this whole conversation somewhat productive. “Pick up what's mine? Living up to my best potential Why, I'm quite satisfied with the life I have so far, thank you very much! I'll reach my potential, eventually. All things take time, so… what exactly do you want out of talking with me?”

“Oh, are you now satisfied?” She teased and gaslighted him to see how he'd react.

“Listen, you don't have much time, he is going to kill everyone and not even the likes of Endeavor’s children and those of legacy Heroes can drop him, I am helping you reach your potential, not just in Quirk but also every bit of your life.” She hugged him from behind, whether it's suggestive or not, she was rather stark.

She whispered in Haru’s ear.

“If you're living the best way you are now, why is it, even the most selfish Hero like Yusuke, keeps laying his life down for you? Does that mean you're living your full potential or are you simply too afraid to act on your own and take the risks? How much more good Heroes like him, must sacrifice their future for you, there will come a time that you're gonna be alone and you'll realize it too late, that's what you get for relying too much on others.”

“I don't rely too much on others,” Haru hissed, though the thought of Yusuke taking a hit from a Nomu for him did weigh on him. Despite his mind's protests, he ignored that the witch was hugging him from behind; while he did consider himself a hugger, this… was just not right. “I know my own weaknesses. This is why we have teams and team ups. So, pray tell, how exactly are you going to help me reach my full potential? By rearranging my neurons?”

“You will see.” 
-Conversation Ended-

Snapback to reality, Yusuke took another hit for Haru, Keyaru laughed at the attacks like nothing happened.

“Fucking witch dug her way into my brain,” Haru growled as he began to collect photons, readying to supply power to Gauss. “Hey,” he bent down to get a little closer to Yusuke just as he released an enormous stream of burning light. “Are you good? Sorry that I blacked out. Stupid mentalist quirk hit me. I suppose I owe you three drinks now."
