Hours before Tsukachi's Arrival*

This was their 5th flight around the world. Going over the atmosphere faster than any plane ever could, not bothered by silly things like air resistance or friction.

Connie and Steven would love this view if it wasn't for the fact that every place they visited, every landmark that they spiraled around, was wrong.

"No..." Connie pressed Steven's hand tightly "This is not how it's supposed..."

There wasn't a Siberian sea within the confines of Rusia, nor the gem battlefield in Norway.

"But it doesn't make sense." Steven and Connie's Mind Projections circumnavigated the world again and again only letting their dread grow.

"There's no galaxy warp, no gem landmarks, but we were in Japan! Right?" Connie lifted her hand in protest, without letting Steven's go.

"No.. not only that" Steven and Connie's minds floated to every place their hearts knew. "Its similar but not the same, is almost like... " Connie felt Steven's hold tighten "No Beach city, no Crystal Temple..." Steven turned his head to the cold space.

"Wha?.." Connie knew what Steven was seeing, more specifically what he wasn't seeing. "No Homeworld!"

"WHERE ARE WE!!" Steven yelled in frustration as his scream disappeared into nothingness.

Steven and Connie woke up in the containment cell.

"I don't know where we are" Steven wiped the sweat from his brow. Thanks to his greater experience using his powers, he was able to not only astrally project himself, but others as well, as long as they were in contact at all times.

"It looks so much like home" Connie sat closer, "if it wasn't for the superheroes running around I could swear we were on Earth."

"We need to find the others, they have to be around somewhere."

"I just hope they believe us. They weren't taking us seriously until they saw you had more than one power."

"I won't stop this time" Steven's smile reassured Connie for a bit "We'll find the gems, and then go back home!"

SU*MHA*SU*MHA

Tsukauchi stroke his chin as Mount Lady finished her tale. The kids were disoriented and confused, yet they cooperated without a fight, "This looks like 2 teenagers taking a joyride with their quirk and getting caught in the act, I assume that you found something else while booking them."

Captain Kondo noded, as if it was a sign, Officer Terakado quickly entered the conversation. "I- ah - I was was in charge of their interrogation" she stammered, " the boy's name is Steven Quartz Universe, while the girl is Connie Maheswaran"

"Huh" Tsukauchi rose an eyebrow.

"We..When they told us they were from America, I started taking their data, but it.. it didn't make sense." Terakado pulled papers from a folder "Beach city's Crystal temple?, Delmarva State? I thought that they were trying to play a bad joke on me, but after they insisted I decided to register what their quirks were were and..."

"I assume one of them had that Translocation quirk Right?"

"Well, that's the thing, they said that beam of light was technology, they called it Warp-something?, bu- but that's not the weirdest part" she pulled a different paper out of the folder "when I first asked the question of what their quirks were, they looked at me as if they didn't know what I was talking about. I- I even used other words for quirk, but they only understood until I gave them a demonstration"

"Hmm" Tsukachi tought about this case further, the most obvious answer could be that they were playing dumb to avoid getting into trouble, but at this point it didn't make much sense.

"The girl then identified as quirkless, the boy however, listed at least 3 different quirks."

"What?" Tsukachi's reaction was accompanied by a smirk of Mount Lady.

"Creating hard light forcefields and projections, shapeshifting and the ability to slow down his fall to the ground, he- he even demonstrated those so I know he wasn't lying, a..and got a bit surprised." Terakado lowered her face in embarrassment.

"The kids noticed officer Terakado's reaction so they didn't push the topic further..." the captain added, "We think the kids may be part of something bigger, but we won't get anywhere until we can corroborate their stories" Kondo finally sat and continued. "we checked the addresses and phone numbers, nothing came out of it as expected."

"I understand captain" the inspector noded with determination.

"Excellent! Please come with me and I'll take you with them" the captain exited the office followed by the heroine, however, before exiting Tsukachi noticed officer Terakado staying behind. He noticed the woman looking at something in her hands, just like when he got to the station.

"Oh, what is that?"

"Um" she shyly showed him a stone, "I found it today on my way to the station" Terakado held the stone to the light, showing different colored crystals fused together into a single rock " is a cluster of gems, I like it..." the officer looked at Tsukachi "I should have finished the interrogation..."

"Nonsense!"

"Eh?"

"Thanks to your report we may have found something bigger than what it was originally tought" Tsukauchi addressed the officer "I want you to accompany me during this interrogation. I'm sure that we'll get to the bottom of it in no time!"

SU*MHA*SU*MHA

Tsukauchi and Terakado entered the interrogation room. Usually designed for small time criminals, the room was completely bare save for a table, some chairs and of course the station's newest residents, Steven and Connie.

Tsukachi sat in the closest chair to the table and took a look at the small suspects, the kids sat close together, as if they were supporting each other.

Terakado on the other hand sat in the chair behind Tsukachi, she was both taking notes and keeping track of the evidence collected, just in case it was necessary.

"You must be Steven, Correct?" The teenager nodded. "I'm inspector Tsukauchi, the captain told me what you two did Yesterday"

"We're sorry" Steven answered "we were confused, we didn't mean to surprise the officer."

"We tried to call the phones you gave us yesterday, they didn't work."

"W..we know." Connie Answered the inspector's question.

"You gave us fake numbers?"

"No, No, It's not like that" Steven quickly corrected Tsukauchi. "We were trying to cooperate back then, we wanted you to call, to tell my family and Connie's that we were Okay, Its just that, now we know it's worse than we thought." Steven looked at Connie and nodded.

"Inspector Tsukauchi, what we're about to tell you might sound a bit crazy but it's the whole truth."

The inspector looked closely at both kids, his quirk that allowed him to perceive the lies hadn't triggered even once. Even when the Connie admitted that the numbers wouldn't work, the familiar sensation of a lie didn't cross his mind. "I understand"

"We don't know were we are" Steven said "This is not our planet."

"Eh?" Terakado's eyes widened.

"EEEH?!" Tsukauchi put his hand on his forehead not only the sudden response out of Steven's mouth surprised him, but the fact that again, he couldn't feel a single lie in the boy's statement.

"This whole world, is so similar but at the same time so different" Connie added, pointing at the small evidence box "you can look through our cellphones".

Officer Terakado handed Connie and Steven their phones as they quickly unlocked them.

"See? This is my home, and family!" A younger Steven stood smiling in the beach accompanied by a robust middle aged man, and 3 women of different skin colors. In the background a small cabin could be seen, at the feet of an impressive stone carving of a goddess with two faces.

"Beach city, Crystal temple?" Officer Terakado mumbled, understanding what that original address meant.

"See?" Connie on the other hand, showed inspector Tsukauchi a phone with apps he'd never seen before, including a so called 'Woogle Maps'. "Everything is different!" She pointed her finger at the maps in the phone and handed it to him.

Tsukauchi looked at the map displayed on the Connie's Cellphone, at a simple glance he could tell something was definitely wrong.

Terakado looked through the pictures along with Tsukauchi. The kids photos painted quite a picture. Several locations popped on image. Structures never before seen, people with heteromorphic quirks or all colors and shapes posed to the camera as if it was a family photo.

"Ow!" The enraptured officer Terakado's concentration was broken by a sudden warm feeling. She pulled out the stone in an instant not noticing that both Steven and Connie planted their eyes on her.

"Ohh, Miss?" Connie asked "w..where did you find that rock?"

Tsukauchi looked at Steven and Connie, they looked on edge, and focused solely on the rock in Terakado's Hands.

"Ah.. I found it in the ground on my way to wor.. huh!?" A small flash of light interrupted her much to the horror of the kids "What the...?"

"DROP IT!" Steven yelled to the surprised officer, not waiting a second, Connie jumped over the table and knocked the rock out of Terakado's hand.

"What's the meaning of this?!" Tsukauchi's shock was quickly replaced with confusion as he looked towards the rock. Further flashes of light shone as the rock started levitating a couple meters above the ground.

"Steven!" Connie gently pushed officer Terakado while Steven put himself in between them and the glowing rock, knowing what was coming next.

Tsukauchi was in awe as several beautiful silhouettes started emerging, only to immediately glitch out like a faulty video game projection accompanied by a loud and painful scream.

SHIREEEEEEK!!!* a new figure emerged from the light, mismatched arms of different colors and lengths connected to 2 different purple torsos. A painful and array of several arms and legs provided footing for the abomination while its upper arms flailed erratically.

"What the hell is that!" Officer Terakado pulled her handgun, the creature twists as if looking for the origin of the origin of the sound, without any eyes to speak for.

"HEY HEY HEY! LOOK AT ME!" Steven yelled trying to catch the mutant attention.

BANG*

A shot from Terakado's gun came out only to stop centimeters from the creature's green writhing arm. "WHA..!" Terakado felt her gun being pulled towards the creature, along with everything metal in the room!

"Steven! It's not looking at you!" Connie yelled, a cluster mutant would normally go towards Steven immediately as it felt the close bond of his gem, however this one kept looking at them, as if it was curious?

"I..I, I'm sorry!" Tsukauchi observed how Steven said that to the creature. In the blink of an eye Steven closed the distance between them, hugged the creature and whispered "sorry..." The hug became tighter and tighter. The Inspector could se the creature's focus go away as it tried to get free but to no avail, in one last effort, Steven's Hug bisected the mutant, which immediately exploded in a puff of smoke.

"Hands in the air!" Tsukauchi ordered.

"J..just let me finish" Steven picked up the rock and gently enveloped it in pink energy bubble, then rose his hands. Connie moved next to Steven, hands risen as well. Captain Kondo and Mt. Lady came running just seconds after the commotion died down

"What the Hell Happened here!"

SU*MHA*SU*MHA

Captain Kondo sighed in frustration. After a quick cleanup, the whole affair had ended with more questions than answers.

He was in charge of a small police station, and now he had to write a humongous report justifying what happened minutes ago, As well as finding a way to contain what the kids insisted was a dangerous creature inside the pink bubble.

"So, this kids claim to be from another dimension?"

"They never outright said it that way, they showed me their maps and landmarks, they are similar, yet quite different to what we have here" Tsukauchi answered with a bit of incredulity.

"So what? Do we send them to a psychiatrist until we can find their planet in a galaxy far far away?"

"Captain, I am a rational person, and I believe that this whole mess may have a rational explanation."

"You yourself said they didn't lie about that again and again, so, you 'rational' brain is gonna tell me they come from another dimension?!"

"I never said I agreed" Tsukauchi stood up to see the captain face to face. "The best lie is the one you yourself believe it's true." The captain simply sneered "The kids have been trained, the first thing the girl did the moment they saw the rock was separating it from officer Terakado, and kept her away, they both knew what she was dealing with."

"What are you implying"

"These kids have some sort of Hero Training, yet no one has any record about them, I'm sure whomever trained them will get to them when they feel the moment is correct. We could let them go while keeping them observed, a bit of freedom to reward their trust"

"Hmmm" Captain Kondo thought about it, they'd normally would have just let them go with a warning most of the time, and whomever planned such convoluted scheme to train young heroes to this extent wouldn't want their investment lost. Releasing them under surveillance could work in their favor, and the kids. "We have a place that could help..."

SU*MHA*SU*MHA

Izuku Midoriya made his regular jog back home, with the school in hiatus he had to keep himself in shape while he figured how to use One For All, when a new light coming out the window called the attention of the young hero in training.

The house had been uninhabited ever since he had memory, but now the lights were turned on and he even could hear a faint music coming from the inside.

"Huh? We have new neighbors?"
