Did he want to be remembered? He wasn’t sure. It was an interesting thought. And the scene that played out was what he had envisioned, but that was the mind of a film maker at work. With how woefully unprepared he was for the future, would being remembered as Chirp be worth the risk? Would he want that to overshadow Gabriel, the direct? Or Gabriel, the artist? He pushed the thoughts aside, he didn’t have time. Click. Click. Click. Gabriel scrolled through some of the photos he had taken while standing outside. Now that he had more insight into what was happening, he searched through various faces to see what needed to be done. “If there are bombs, then there’s a detonator.” Something clicked. He knew who had it, he just needed to know where they were. “There.” Kono Takumi. Gabriel looks into the past and sees it. He finds the detonator. But do they still have it? He can’t be sure. And he can’t keep scrolling through photos. It was almost time… he had to make a choice. ____ A gun presses against Kamiya’s back. “Don’t move,” Chirp said. “Give me the detonator and you might see tomorrow.”

"Aw... how cute." Gabriel chuckled to himself as Hiroshi walked away. The insecurity brought him back to his younger years at UA. He bullied so many of those types. "Anyway." Gabriel put away the autograph and prepared his camera. The camera was on but aimed at the ground only catching their feet, not wanting to record without explicit consent. At least, that was the appearance of such. He could use his quirk on just this instance alone. But creating an actual project could be fun, too! "Well, I'm graduating soon. And as a gift to my fellow seniors, I'm showing them the promising future that awaits. We have some legacy heroes who are making big, big waves when they graduate. They already have, actually. If you haven't heard about them yet, then you will." Gabe switched focus. "But what's important is that they hear about you. It's a good, motivational kick to their asses. And it inspires us all to work harder. So, if you don't mind..." He points the camera at Farrin. "You ready to start?"

A tall, lanky student walks away from Elijah's door. They put no effort into hiding the fact they were just there.

Gabriel arrived an hour early. First impressions were important. And as a new hire, Gabriel needed to ensure everyone saw what Iphi saw in him. Unfortunately, he would not be sharing his quirk with the rest of the group. While it was important to share your talents with those you trust, Gabriel didn’t trust these people. He had only shown Iphi to get an opportunity he might not have had otherwise. By arriving early, he’d set up a game. In his hands was a burlap sack filled with six rocks. It was of utmost importance that no one look at these rocks until they were properly set up. A sneak peek could destroy the entire process. So, when he walked in while Iphi was hard at work… “ There’s my favorite detective.” Gabriel lied. “I’ve been looking all over for you.” He unabashedly held the burlap sack. If he didn’t hide it, he wouldn’t be asked. It belonged here. Obviously. “What time is the thing again?”

“Plan C.” The boss would not accept Jun’s terms and conditions. The muscle had one last hurrah in him. And with this show of strength, breaking their bindings, returning to their feet, and making a final assault on Jun, the boss would run. “Thanks for the sacrifice, boys! I’ll see you on parole.” Gabriel pulled out his phone. The photo didn’t need to be clear. Hell, it didn’t need to be a photo. He pressed record as he caught the man on camera he moved to the rest of the participants, focusing on the muscle charing Jun. If the boss escaped, he’d deal with him later. His thoughts were littered with clues — they always were. The muscle couldn’t risk being outmaneuvered. He used his strong, tree trunk legs to jump into the air. Then, he’d belly flop on top of Jun hoping for the crush her and any other construct that got in his way. If he was still awake by the end of it, he’d roll on over and crush Gabriel, too.

Oh, he’s a lefty! With the autograph now officially his, he would forever bury his true question. Would you cut off your second arm for another prosthetic? It was the easiest way to double his power output. Considering how guarded Elijah was, he wouldn’t blab about those kinds of things yet. And while Gabriel could pry into his mind, it’d put a weird, unnecessary tension on their now budding relationship. “Nope, that’s all!” Gabriel waved goodbye. “Take care, Hawthorne.” He immediately turned to his cameraman. He would hand over the autograph and give him specific instructions. “Laminate this and bring it directly to the set. I’ll be there in twenty minutes.” There was more work to be done. Now that his school project had finished, he could use the rest of the set for a personal project. Atop that, he had some footage to review. Let’s get to the bottom of this so-called Hawthorne.

Quirkless? How interesting… If that were the case, he would need to supplement more than a missing arm to compensate. The new era of heroism was predicated on quirks. And if you didn’t have a quirk, it was like missing… an arm. More importantly, this wasn’t the first time that Elijah had encountered this question — more than that, a hurdle that he’d have to jump over for the rest of his life. Behind that composure, Hawthorne. The thought passed his mind before he had a chance to think. Who are you? “Well, you see the reason I’m filming this is because…” Gabriel’s face went serious. A shadow cast over his face as he looked down, pushing up his glasses before raising his eyes to meet Elijah’s. “This is the first time I’ve made something for someone else!” A big, goofy smile and a thumbs up. “I thought it’d be worthwhile to note my first act of altruism!” And the fact he’s a nosy bastard who looks into people when he shouldn’t. “More to come if you ever need a tune-up, by the by.” A wink. With that, his job was done. All that was left was for Elijah to leave so he could review the footage over and over and over again. But, of course, the intrusive thoughts always won, didn’t they? “Before you go…” Nevermind. Too dark. Play it off, play it off. “Can I get an autograph?” He pulled out the schematic he drew three days ago and offered it to Elijah. Good. He won’t suspect a thing.

Everyone in the room started laughing. It was two whole people, but the people at home watching the recording were laughing, too. Generations from now, Gabriel’s great-great-grandchildren would point and laugh at Elijah as he foamed himself in the face with his very own finger. This wasn’t a prank. This was an exhibition. And the first thing Elijah did was show… he was a comedic mastermind! “You’ve been working on jokes!” Gabe barely gets out through his laughter. “I get it now. I understand your type of humor.” He wipes a tear from his eye before looking back to the camera. “You get all that? Yeah? Okay, good.” Gabriel turned back to Elijah. “I’ll walk you through it,” Gabe said. “Just promise not to vaporize me with your quirk or whatever.” Gabriel clears his through and pulls out a diagram from a shelf underneath the counter. The one, the only, the instruction manual. With this Elijah would understand everything. But sometimes doing was better than seeing. After handing him this forbidden scroll, he’d move around the limb a bit and give him the crash course on having a prosthetic. “You do this for the knives.” He did a thing. “This to detach.” He did another thing.” This to reattach.” He undid the thing he had just done. “This for the grappling hook.” Yet another, new thing. “And I guess you figured out the foam, huh?” A pause. “Do you love it?”

The star finally arrives. The second star. Like in those star systems where there’re two of them but one is a little bigger than the other? Yeah, that’s Gabe. Elijah is the little star. Who else is gonna put on the arm and show off all the great features that Gabriel added? Not Gabe, that’s for sure! He had no spare nubs to put this prosthetic. “Oh, trust me. It does.” Gabriel can’t hold back his grin. It stretches across his face to such an extent that most people might consider it offputting. Imagine being this obsessed with yourself? It’s like reading everyone’s texts in your internal monologue’s voice as opposed to theirs! Gabe rips off the sheet. “Ta-da!” It… sure is a prosthetic. He didn’t do anything to make it look fancy, actually. He kept it exactly the same. To an eerie extent, even. “Go ahead.” Gabe offered. “Give it a try. See if you can figure out how to use it. I made it pretty intuitive if I do say so myself…” Gabe turned to the cameraman. “Did you get that, by the way?”

Boy, he sure held on to a grudge. Near decapitation was standard fair in heroism, Elijah should consider the experience a gift. A free lesson in survival. But he was just a first year and they never wanted to hear wise, sagely advice from their upperclassmen. A soon-to-graduate upperclassman, nonetheless! Gabriel picked up the arm as Elijah proceeded to leave. It was an awkward affair saying goodbye while going in the same direction, but he had a film to attend to. Unpleasantries would have to fall on the first year’s consciousness. “Gabe.” He gave a wink and slinked off to the other room. As soon as the door closed behind him Hawthorne would hear him shout. “I SAID NOT TO TOUCH ANYTHING…” .
..
...
3 Days Later
...
..
. The room was empty. Gabe’s project was submitted. And all he had to do was wait for Hawthorne to show up. The new and improved, better-than-ever prosthetic had undergone a few experiments. As much as Gabe wanted to surprise Hawthorne, he couldn’t get the sixth finger to work. The damn grappling hook took too much space. Lurking in the background was one of his previous crew. They had been held over for OPERATION PAPARAZZI and wanted to capture Hawthorne’s face when he tried his new, fancy arm. Gabriel straightened out the sheet atop it, making sure it was perfect.

The behemoth fell to the ground causing the concrete to crack. His head slammed and he felt a wave of exhaustion rush over him. If it weren’t for the words of his leader, he would have fallen victim to his inner weakness. When his bed called him, he found it difficult to resist. Only the allure of duty could pry him from his comfortable sheets in the morning. His boss yelling at him, too. “Get the hell up.” The words brought the muscle back in time to see a cannonball fire towards the big man. Instinctually he grabbed the brains and threw him in the way to intercept an otherwise undodgable attack. The cannonball defied physics. But as it collided with the brain it defied it once again, but in their favor. The man was knocked unconscious… for good this time. Jun would notice the boss had given up giving his orders. Somehow, he knew this was it for his companion. It was the end for the cannonball too, as it stood in the air, immobile, holding the brains against some invisible barrier. Both the body and ball fell to the ground. “Maybe we should reconsider.” The boss understood the situation now. This woman was a psychopath. “We’ll call this a draw.” “No!” Gabe called out. “Kick their ass Jun!” He was hiding behind a trash can. “You mess with me you mess with her!” The threat wasn’t his to make but when has that ever stopped him?

A laugh. He did it. It may not have been in the way he wanted or from what he considered the peak of humor, but something innate to Gabriel reached Elijah’s core. There was a sense of humor in there. A sense of humor informed by a cynical, judgmental perspective but whatever works! Gabe would hold on to this granule of information in the future and leverage it when it was most impactful. “Fine.” Gabriel rolled his eyes. Humans could adapt to anything but, sure, let’s stop at five fingers when six was a whole, extra finger. “Five fingers.” Then, Elijah bit. A younger Gabriel would have spilled everything then and there but as an older, mature auteur he kept his projects close to his chest. With the way this child had been acting, he wouldn’t appreciated such highbrow artistry anyway. “It’s a secret.” He raised the prosthetic’s finger to his mouth. Then, he lifted up two more of those fingers. “Three days it is. See you then and not a moment sooner.”
