[ When you hear someone's run away from home, you probably expect some kid looking to join the circus, dirty knees and watery eyes and a determined wobble to their chin. They can't go back, they won't go back.
In this case, it's... a little overdue, honestly. And a lot further away than the circus.
Shouto's not entirely sure where Yaoyorozu sends him, though he knows that she sends him as far as she possibly can, as fast as she can, to get him away from his father before he tries to use him to decimate a civilization that's done nothing more than breathe in his general direction. He's tired of being his weapon, of doing what he wants to further his conquest, his legacy. So what better way to spite him than to go to the very civilization he's trying to smite out of existence and warn them? Maybe even side with them against the "hero" Endeavor?
Which is how he's found himself with a random person sitting on him, in a crater, disoriented and confused. But he blearily looks up at them - they're asking him questions. Yaoyorozu tried to prime him for Earth languages, but it takes him a second to really switch over mentally. He did just crash into the middle of nowhere. ]
Yuuei. [ He brings a hand up to rub at his head, dropping it back into the ground with a dull thump and a soft groan. ] The second question will take longer to answer.
[Yuuei? He goes through all the intel he's collected over the years and it doesn't ring a single bell. Not to mention that's definitely an accent, but not one he can easily place, nobody on Earth speaks like that and Izuku knows plenty of accents for the undercover bit of his job. As ridiculous as it seems, alien seems to be his best bet.
Though the man looks quite human for an alien.]
Good thing I've got nowhere to go.
[He settles himself on to the alien's(?) stomach. The guy looks confused and a little dazed, but this is likely a matter of earth's security and continued existence. He's not going anywhere any time soon.]
[ Closing his eyes, Shouto tries to reorient himself, disregarding the fact that he literally has a person sitting on him. That was rather fast a discovery, but if he's being asked questions maybe they'll be able to help. He's... reluctant, to say the least. But what other choice does he have?
If he doesn't get the information to someone, how long will it take before Endeavor rears his head here? ]
I've come from another... [ He pauses, brow furrowing, searching for the right word, the best approximation. ] World isn't right. Universe is closer, maybe. Yuuei and Earth bump up alongside one another, in a way.
[ Eyes opening, he shifts to sit up, all with abdominal strength, regardless of the fact he's been made into a seat. He can sit on his lap if he lets him get settled, he doesn't really care. ] There's a man there that's seeking to spread his reign from Yuuei to Earth, for the good of the people in both places, he claims. I came to make sure that doesn't happen.
[He's only a little startled when he's moved to Shouto's lap instead of his chest- but it's not like he's going anywhere else. He's not sure what to do with his hands but place them on Shouto's shoulders, making sure he's not going anywhere without Izuku.]
A different universe. I've heard a lot of weird things lately, I shouldn't be too surprised.
[He's heard of the super soldier serum (a little too much) and a colleague is currently dealing with the Iron Man mess.]
[ Bringing his hand up, unfazed by the ones on his shoulders, Shouto rubs the heel of it into his eyebrow to stave off his headache. That was one hell of a landing, to be honest, and he'd kind of like a nap. But there are things to do, and Yaoyorozu risked a lot to get him here to warn these people. To get him away from Endeavor. ]
It isn't the strangest thing you could hear, probably. [ Blunt, and true.
His mismatched eyes blink open to look at him directly, unwavering and without hesitation. It's a valid question, and he has an easy answer, even if he's not particularly happy about the fact that it's the truth. ]
It's not even the oddest thing I've heard this year.
[Sitting in Shouto's lap like this puts him eye-level with Shouto. (And wow, what stunning eyes. He's never seen anybody with such strong coloration. If he wasn't on edge he would be distracted.) If he's strong enough to sit up while Izuku was sitting on him- then he's strong enough to just shove Izuku off.
It's a point in the stranger's favor that he hasn't. It's enough to make Izuku take him seriously even as out there as his story is. There's a guy in a metal-alloy suit running around. Somebody turns into a big green rage monster.
Alternate universes? He can work with that.]
Let me get this straight. A man in an alternate universe has power over that universe, but his power-lust isn't satiated with that, and now he wants to control Earth.
You're that man's son? Give me a good reason to trust you.
