MHA: Unity In Red (Fanfic version)

Waking up from the embrace of death, Charlotte's first thought was ... tight. She was constrained in a small, claustrophobic space, filled with slimy liquid. The space vibrated rhythmically, as if breathing and sounds coming from the outside, akin to a conversation.

"No, the rhythm, it must be breathing and this slippery wall ....l"

She realized where she was, alarmed by the idea and the weaknesses it entailed.

"Am I a mere fetus inside a womb? Such a new sensation ... For how long must I stay in this form?"

Charlotte asked herself while focusing on the outside conversation, on what she could pick on.

 " Ka██ ga uma██ ██ █re █rai ka████ ka? "

She sighed to herself, the language was not something she had spoken in the past life; however, from the stress pattern and intonation, she could infer that this was no European language and she was probably in an Asian country. Thinking to the past, she remembered how some people she met praised her beauty and often asked if she was Asian due to her black hair.

"I can't deny that my appearance is really Asian-like. But it is too much to pluck me from my country and throw me here. I will not have any advantages early on and must toil in learning. "

She reasoned with herself and remarked hopelessly. She wondered learning the language would bee easy as only pristine paper could easily be filled with ink. As she became more and more tired from pondering, she unknowingly entered the realm of Morpheus and slept soundly.

A few weeks later, a doctor walked out of the operation room to meet Kenji Minaru, a politician with a majority support in the local districts. He was in the middle of a fatso and a lean man, with dark blue hair arranged neatly as if business is coming. He was sitting on one of the chair rows available in front of the operation room. He kept glancing at his wrist watch and tapping sounds can be heard from his leather shoes. Then suddenly, the sound, the movement, the anxiety stopped as soon as the LED light above the door frame stopped lighting. He stood up and waited. 

"How are my wife and daughter? "

Kenji asked worriedly at a doctor coming out from the room. The doctor laughed a little and remarked that the operation was one of the smoothest he had ever had and that both the mother and child were fine. He also complimented how perfect Kenji's family was, a beautiful wife, a successful husband and an upcoming daughter. Kenji's could only laugh a bit at the jab before becoming worried again. He then inquired whether or not he could come in to see the child but the doctor said that the current time was inappropriate, to the surprise of Kenji as he was used to this late hours. The doctor asked Kenji to visit tomorrow to leave time for the exhausted mother to rest. Sighing, Kenji followed the doctor's request and drove home. 

In the middle of the night, the baby thought to be asleep opened her eyelids. She spared a moment looking around, and then returned to sleep as nothing noticeable had happened. What she didn't notice was a pair of red eyes looking from the window, observing her carefully, its apostle.

The following day, the room was livelier with the addition of the father, Kenji Minaru. He was being scolded by the mother, Asa Minaru. She was a cold beauty, traditionally Asian with long silky black hair and curved up eyes. Her face when scolding remained indifferent, always a scowl. The moment was disturbed when the baby started crying. Immediately, Asa came and picked her up, breast feeding her until she was full, burping her and then lay her down. Asa went back to the discussion with Kenji about moving back into their place. Just before Kenji left the room to let the pair of mother and daughter rest, Asa asked Kenji to name their daughter.

"What would you like our daughter called, darling? "

Hearing such question, Kenji's head ran through the list he had spent an entire weekend making.

"Why are you taking so long, haven't you already decided? "

Asked Asa as Kenji pondered what name to choose.

" What about Ina, Ina Minaru? How do you feel with the name? "

Spoke Kenji without thinking as he was still scrolling through the list.

"Wonderful, the name that is. Her name will be Ina Minaru. "

Decided Asa in the shocked of Kenji as he was aiming for a different name.

"Wifey is the most powerful" Muttered Kenji as he went along with the name.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

For the first few moth, Ina was not open to the idea of new parents. In her perspective, they were basically care providers for her. But feeling their genuine concern and love for her, she started to reciprocate back by going along their antics. Countless time had she fallen asleep in her mother's lap, and countless time had she enjoyed a good dinner with both parents, unlike in the past. Well, mostly her enjoying the food as both parents were so focused on her. What surprised her the most was seeing Asa worked full-time and taken care of the household. She had seen Asa working till midnight, getting around 3 hours of sleep and continuing the day after as if nothing happened. She hypothesized that Asa's quirk was endurance-related.

And for her dad, Ina had no idea what his quirk was. He acted normal, no, he was normal in every angle she looked at her from.

"No physical deformation, no abnormalities in behaviours, just a normal individual. "

Without any concrete evidence of what his quirk could be, Isa couldn't bother to continue learning what the parent's quirks were. She was easily tired and hungry, causing her to slip in and out of sleep almost all the time. This time, it was the same as she felt her eyelids so so heavy.

-------------------------------------------------------------

"Maybe this life is better, maybe I don't need to hunt anymore. "

Thought Ina as she was finishing an oatmeal plate Asa prepared for her. She was contemplating on the peacefulness she had only felt this time around. Everything was fine, perfectly fine, to the point of suspicion.

"If everyone has power, won't they use it for themselves? Why has there been no fighting out in the open? "

She wondered naively, not knowing the amount of money her parents had spent on real estate to be near the center of today heroism, near many hero agency, which fended off any criminals and thus, not drawing any villains nor heroes. This seemingly security risk was actually absolute confidence in the hero system, a common belief in today landscape.

Time skip to 5 years old

It has been a few years since Isa first entered this world and moved away from the name Charlotte. During the time, she had been reading and learning whenever she could. She asked her parents for a phone, which they bought after a long discussion. Since then, she had been secretly reading papers and books about history, economics, culture and politics.

With a 200-years time skip, technology had hardly advanced, much to the surprise of Ina (The technology speaking here was the one for daily life and public usage). She reasoned that with the new backbone (heroes) instead of the old one, most inventors and scientists were only interested in gadgets for better quirk utilization. The lab of the world, I-Island and its academy, Academy City, boasted THE most advanced tech around the world. From its academy had came out some of the most prolific minds, forming the Genius Society with the two factions, featuring David Shield and Prometheus, the first sentient robot as the head.

Contrary to her low expectation, the political scene had been a fun read, with the appearance of new governing bodies aside the old governments. Since the first quirk discovery 200 years ago, around 70% of the governments has changed hands, with most following the multiparty and parliament system. Some exception remained like England. The EU, NATO, BRICs, .... had become a subgroup of the UN, maintaining trade deals between the members.

She found the Quirk Warlocks the most fascinating. To posses enough strength to control an entire nation, that was Ina's dream. She read about Ra, a fire Quirk Warlock with flames as hot as the Sun, controlling the Egypt, Isreal and the Suez Canal. She read about Übermensch, the approaching WW3 cause by her cognito quirk, scaring the entire old continent. There had not been a lot of Warlocks in the passage of history, but for the few of them, their ending had been the same phrase:

"With the combined efforts of every nation, the cooperation between heroes and military, the evils are vanquished. "

Learning from the failures of the forerunners, Ina concealed how capable she really was, only showing the tip of the iceberg. Her quirk " Better sleep" (the same as her mom) increased her daily time budget, letting her train in secret at night, when both the parents are sleeping or doing their things together. She wanted independence, the freedom to choose and not to be oppressed by anyone stronger than her.

One of Ina's focused-upon subjects was biology. She wanted to check whether or not there had been a change in the common human's anatomy. So far, the only difference she could find was the number of bone segments in the toe of the quirkless. Aside from that, she enjoyed finding out more about the various altercations due to quirk manifestations. The main aspect she dig g due to the difficulties such changes present to doctors and caregivers. Some historical challenges such as "The case of Adam" in the French Confederation and "The file of Patient 135" in China. Both occurrences had introduced problems for the medical system at that time. For the former, the lack of any physical organs had caused troubles in curing him of an illness. The method found had been to mistify the liquid medicine, letting his cells(?) absorbed the medicine. And the latter possessed a vampire quirk, preventing any probing techniques useless and the doctors had to guess the illness according to the patient's descriptions. 

Facing with so many new things diverging from what she had knew, Ina was eager to adapt and to rise to the challenge.
