Oh, that's right. Luci was a terrible actor. He flashed back to a time where she took some food from him and then tried to claim
"bird" took it, while having crumbs on her face. In this moment, he was regretting setting her up as the one to make the call knowing her she'd say something stupid and super unbelievable. He had to be ready for plan B which was to throw down just so long as she- [break][break]

Wait, what did she just say?[break][break]

He broke out in a sweat. THAT'S THE QUESTION SHE ASKS?! He was practically screaming internally as she took it a step further and wrapped her arms around him. She had to be messing with him. There was no way any of this was real and he hadn't prepared himself for any of this! He couldn't pull away but he couldn't kiss her like this, no no no no no way he was going to share a kiss with her like this! Was she having fun playing with his heart? This was too cruel.[break][break]

Diego felt like he was going to pass out, and as much as he wanted to kiss Luci right then and there perhaps it was his sober mind or his desire to speak honestly about his feelings before he did that. So he took a step back and bowed deeply in apology. "I'm honored, but I can't. You see I'm uhm...I'm in love with a woman named Elli." He wanted to say Lucille so badly, but this wasn't the time or place. Grime seemed to take the bait and went back to what he was doing, and Diego would point to the entrance. "I think we should go back inside. Lucia-san, you're a little drunk; I'll get you some water." It was a diversion that would let them move away from the villain and discuss openly. Once Diego regained his composure that was.

To hear him say those words... It felt like he had stabbed her in the heart and then twisted the knife for good measure. ''O-Oh...'' She didn't mean to sound so deflated, but it probably helped make the rejection look real to Grime. It didn't help that it felt real to her too. Elli? Was she another villain he had met while switching sides? Maybe he had switched sides because of her all those years ago. Realized that she was nothing more than a liability after she died and disappointed him. ''I see.'' She hung her head dejectedly. ''I wish you good luck with her, then.''

She took it way more personally than she thought. After all she didn't mean to confess her feelings to him, and not like this at all! Drunk and on an official mission... ''Hey.'' She spoke up again as they started heading back inside, but she couldn't face him after that embarrassing move she just pulled. ''I really meant it back then, I really am sorry for hurting you.'' She remembered apologizing to Diego before being teleported away on Takamagahara, but she wasn't able to hear his response back then. ''I hope you don't think less of me for coming up with such a stupid distraction.'' She slowly started cheering herself up, lifting her gaze and smiling at him. ''I've always had a bird brain.'' She joked, knowing full well that her quirk made her act on similar traits to a crow sometimes. ''You catch on fast though, you knew exactly what to do.'' It was just a flicker, but he reminded her of the old reliable Diego, the one that was always there for her and always knew what to do.

She supported herself on the wall near the entrance as she stood there for a moment. ''So...'' She felt a little dizzy but standing still helped. ''You heard what Nanba-san was talking about, right? About the villains. And don't try to play dumb, you know what those names mean.'' She pointed an accusatory finger at him while pouting, like she was preemptively expecting him to not cooperate with her.

If it wasn't for the shadows on the alleyway Luci would be sure to see his surprise. Not because of what she said but how she said it, Luci was never great at hiding things or acting. This felt more genuine than any act she'd ever put on in the past, which was usually about things that were inconsequential, truthfully. Perhaps it was because she was drunk? He had never seen her drunk before; they went their separate ways before he could celebrate her birthday. He had missed a lot of her birthdays...[break][break]

He had already hidden the truth from her for so long that the best he could do about his feelings for her was to use her name roundaboutly. He was so tired of lying and keeping himself away from her that these last few run-ins had made him want to leave this life more than ever. "Don't apologize." It was his fault, after all; was she really still feeling guilty all this time? He couldn't keep up with what was an act and what was real anymore. Not from his own life and not from hers. [break][break]

"I had to learn how to survive on my own." He had to put some distance between the two of them. His heart was racing still as the image of the kiss they almost shared was burned into his brain. If she ever tried something like that again, he definitely wouldn't be able to stop himself. However, he offered her a shoulder as she was shaky on her feet. "Listen, the reason we're here doesn't matter; we want the same thing for different reasons, so let's work together for today and today only." She began to bring her back to the room with all their coworkers. "Keep drinking and having a good time." They couldn't make them any more suspicious, or they'd be putting all these innocent people in danger. Diego, of course, would keep that last bit of information to himself. [break][break]

Despite it all, he still acted like she was a stranger, telling her not to apologize even though she knew she had wronged him. Her expression saddened when he talked about how he had to learn to survive on his own. Why did he feel that way? Back when they were kids, back before they got financially stable lives, they weren't on their own. They were in it together, taking over those poverty stricken streets of their youth and being there for each other through thick and thin. Did Diego really feel that cornered? That isolated? Had he... Had he never thought about it as them being a team, but just as himself fighting all on his own? The thought was so sad she didn't want to pursue it any further. Especially not while under the influence.

She looked at his shoulder briefly as he offered it, letting out a slurred ''thamks.'' As she accepted his support. Unlike him, she wasn't strong enough to survive on her own. Never had been. When she wasn't relying on him like she was right now, she entrusted her safety to her hero colleagues. Maybe Diego had the right idea after all, maybe she needed to learn to stand on her own too and not be so codependent. Still, when she was receiving his support, even if he was evil... It felt nice. ''Right...'' She let out a small sigh. ''You're right, we want the same thing, so just for tonight, let's strike a temporary truce.'' She probably wouldn't get in too much trouble for that anyway. If the end result was still accomplishing her mission, but also gaining intel on Diego? That's how she was going to spin it anyways, although she didn't look forward to facing her superiors sober.

''I'll doo that!'' She made a little mock salute at him while smiling from ear to ear. ''Are you sure you don't want any? The drinks here are pretty good!'' Wait no, she needed to focus! Mission first, party second. ''Momo-chan! ~'' She called out to her coworker as she stumbled back to her seat, drunkenly reaching out to hug her. ''Let's order some gyoza together, it goes really well with the beer!'' And just like that she was integrating back into the party.

Nanba and his accomplices were still sitting at the end of the table, smoking and laughing about something she hadn't quite caught onto yet. ''Oi, Daigo-kun!'' Nanba waved Diego over with a big grin on his face, clearly well into a few too many beers too. ''You guys, this is our new temp hire, his name is Daigo. Careful, he's a handsome devil!'' Nanba enthusiastically indicated to Diego as the two investors bowed their heads. ''Pleasure to meet you, Daigo-san.''

Diego kept up his facade, but internally, he couldn't help but smile; Luci was still so damn bad at not trusting people so easily. She truly was like the sun wanting to brighten up the days of anyone and everything around her without stopping to consider if she could. "Fine, but after this, if you try to arrest me, you'll fail, so focus on what needs to be done only." If he got moving she'd never catch up to him anyways, that should have been clear for the both of them[break][break]

As he entered the room with Luci over his shoulder, he'd resume his unassuming facade with the fake smile and speak to those looking at him. "Lucia-san was lost. I'm sorry for the disturbance and worrying you all!" He'd set Luci down and give a bow just to get flagged down by his target. Diego had been given a device for tracking and audio recording that was small enough that if placed on Nanba, he wouldn't have noticed, and more importantly, Luci wouldn't notice either. A petty villain like him wouldn't be able to afford things like this and he couldn't risk her finding out his real goal.[break][break]

"Nanba-san thank you so much for the opportunity." He'd give a quick bow to him and respectfully to the others. When offered a drink when he sat with them he had his chance, faking him almost dropping it with a slight of hand he would flick the tracker onto Nanba in a spot where it wouldn't be easily detected. "I'm so sorry! Please accept my humble apologies, I'm a little nervous" He'd give a little laugh to sell the illusion.[break][break]

"Don't worry about it Daigo-kun!" His phone rang "If you'll excuse me, my investors and I need to step out for a bit. Everyone the next round is on the house including food so indulge yourself as thanks for all your hard work!" He'd cheer and then get up moving outside. Whatever they were up to, it wasn't good. With that enforcer outside it was going to be time to fight.

Diego may have offered a truce but it wasn't like he was eager to see Luci in danger so he would give a quick excuse and make his way out of the room. A quick disguise to hide his appearance, and he would be off to the roof, observing for a moment as they discussed their illegal business before he'd reveal himself. "Oh? Looks like we've got some shady business here, sorry I'm late to the party!" He would leap off the roof and swing down at Grime.

She knew he was right, but she still pouted at what he said next. What was so good about being a villain anyway? Why couldn't he just give up and let her arrest him? Didn't he realize she was trying to help him? That she just wanted the best for her childhood friend and crush? ''Fiiiine.'' She sighed, slurring her speech a bit again. She had really gone overboard on the drinking. She wanted to act drunk, and to make it authentic she drank a couple of beers. Then the thought of Diego showing up made her drink a few more and now she was really feeling it.

''Shorry for the worry!'' She laughed right after Diego's apology and bowed her head clumsily to the rest of the party before getting back to her seat. She registered that Diego was being called over to speak to the big boss man, but strangely, she didn't worry about what they were talking about at all. She knew she shouldn't, but she found herself trusting him more and more. After all, he had so many opportunities to backstab her or rat her out on this job. ''Eh?'' She looked over at Momo next to her, straining her eyes a bit while swaying from side to side. ''Momo-chan, did you bring your twin today? Or-'' She grimaced as she suddenly felt extremely sick. Putting a hand over her mouth she quickly stumbled her way up and rushed to the bathroom.

''Who the hell're you?!'' Grime retorted, activating his green slime quirk and letting it envelop his whole body starting with where Diego was aiming to strike him. With his quirk being sticky slime, he was hoping to trap the unknown assailant and make him unable to fight back. Although whether he could really match his speed was another thing entirely. ''You're no Puppet... Are you some kind of vigilante?'' Just his luck, perfect night out, easy job and then some disguised psycho comes for him. ''Not that it matters, I'll make sure you can't run away, then I'll kill you.''

''Oww...'' She whined, putting a hand up to her head as she sat next to the toilet. ''This headache is killing me.'' But she was starting to feel a lot better. Washing her hands she took a deep breath as she mentally prepared herself to rejoin the chaos. She almost walked back out to the party, but she immediately noticed that Diego was missing. He had just gone to the bathroom, right? Wait, where was the CEO Nanba? Damn it! She should have exchanged numbers with Diego or something so it would be easier to contact him. Not like permanently, she would obviously delete it once their job was done because she wasn't going to keep a villain's contact information in her phone and he would probably get mad anyway. No, he was never going to give her his number in the first place.

Ellie...

''What's so good about that woman anyway.'' She pouted to herself, looking at herself in the mirror before pointing a finger at her image. ''Get it together! You're beautiful, you matter, you're not weak!'' Just as she was feeling reinvigorated she heard one of the stall doors open behind her. Her face turned as pale as a sheet as she quickly dove into another stall to hide. ''But seriously, I'm like, so jealous that you're going to Hokkaido!'' The two women laughed, talking about vacation plans or something. It wasn't really important. Looking up Lucille noticed a small, but wide window at the top of the bathroom.

With an unceremonious thud Lucille managed to make her way through the window with all the dexterity of a gymnast who absolutely did not stick the landing. ''Ouch.'' However, she too had managed to make a makeshift disguise by tying her hair up and using the sludge she could produce from her quirk as a facemask. ''What was that sound?'' Grime asked, unable to turn around since he was busy with Diego. This gave her an opening to run up behind him and kick him in the back of his knees to mess with his balance, trusting that Diego could take him out afterwards.

Nanba, now in over his head, was clearly starting to panic, trying not to blow their cover, but was now shouting orders at Grime, "Grime, get him! Kill him now!" He blurted out what exactly Diego wanted. A credible threat and the use of deadly force was enough to get this man thrown in jail. It wasn't enough for Diego, though he could feel himself itching for a fight undercover work as a normal person didn't do much for him.[break][break]

As Grime engaged his quirk Diego would do the same slowing his "fall" to mess with the timing only to see, out of the corner of his eye, Luci with a...could that really be called a disguise? Well, she was pretty drunk so this was probably the best she could manage. Her timing was still great even back when they were younger he would always hold the focus of their opponent and she would come in once they were distracted, if only they could have become a proper team...[break][break]

"Watch your step, or you'll lose your HEAD." He spun his body around and slammed his heel against Grime's head sending him flying into a wall, unconscious. With the main threat being dealt with he would pause for a moment debating if he should just let himself get captured to end this facade once and for all but...No, he had one last important job to do. His target was getting more and more bold by the day.[break][break]

He would kick up to his maximum speed at Luci, shoving something into her arms before using his quirk to rise into the air. Landing back on the rooftop he would take one more glance back at her, she could handle it from here there was no doubt in his mind. Then he was gone. The object he shoved into her arms before he left?[break][break]

A water bottle to hydrate herself.

She was all smiles under her improvized mask. Not only did she manage to get a hit in on Grime, but she got to see Diego proceed to launch him with a kick. Throughout this whole ordeal, since she had first taken the job to go undercover as Lucia, even though it hadn't been long... She had never expected that at the end of it all she would get to feel so proud watching a villain beat up another villain. She was feeling a lot of unexpected emotions, and although she wanted to she probably couldn't handwave all of it as being because of the alcohol.

With Grime knocked out and Nanba right there, her work could resume and take the twist she had waited for. Soon she was going to say goodbye to her persona of Lucia completely and help bring this man to justice. ''Dieg-'' Before she could get another word out he disappeared, having shoved a water bottle into her hands. She felt guilt sting her stomach as she looked at the bottle. Could she really accept credit for all of this? If it wasn't for Diego, her mission might not even have succeeded, but she couldn't mention him either, right? Would they chastise her for working with a known villain? Would it give the Heroes Association a lead to go after him? What if some other hero who wasn't kind to villains caught up to Diego and did horrible things to him, all because she had been a big dumb blabbermouth? She opened the water bottle and undid the sludge mask on her face.

Nanba turned to run while she took a sip, but she quickly apprehended him and knocked him unconscious too.

She let out a sigh and took another sip of water, before looking up at the night sky.

''You could have at least said goodbye.'' She frowned, before raising her bottle in a toast as she addressed no one in particular since Diego was already gone. ''But thanks for the water.'' She smiled, taking a moment to gather her thoughts as she figured out how to unravel this whole plot over the next week or so.
