Target - Shoichi
To celebrate me finishing a semester... I present to you *drumrolls* A chapter!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Btw, I got this from Facebook. Can't remember where. I was entertained by it. Very entertained~
Shoichi felt like the world was ending. And the culprit of that was the three year old in front of him. Those mischievous eyes staring at him in amusement, which caused him to have a strong desire to want to bolt immediately for the second time in his life (with the first time being the first time he met Byakuran). For the first time in a while, he felt that the world was concentrating all its malicious intentions towards him alone...
Let's head back to 30 minutes ago, shall we?
It's been a long and tiring day, and all Shoichi wants to do is to sleep in on tomorrow's day off. Everything was going well so far, he did a few paperwork and filled in a report on what he had remembered so far a about Byakuran. He had been doing it since he had first been in contact with the unknown.
However, although he had understood the logic of flames, he somehow could not explain them. It was as though all the knowledge had been hammered into his soul, but somehow, he just could not grasp it. Each time he had wanted to explain the basic of the flames, other than the name of the flames and the effects of them, here could not get a single statement out. And even if he did, no one understood. Furthermore, he can't seem to recall any of their faces. And even if he did, it would mostly be vague imaged of the face like Byakuran's.
So far what he had jotted down was flame properties, flame names, the use of the Vongola rings, the fact that the Vongola rings and the Mare rings control time and space respectively, what are fiamma volts, how does one activate Dying Will Flames, the fact that it is only wielded by the mafia in that world, the vindice being the so called police of the mafia world, what was omertà and the arcobaleno as well as a few people which he remembered.
Which is honestly quite a long list.
He could remember Tsuna and Yuni (who was the two people who could control Byakuran), Ryohei, Yamamoto, Reborn (who could occasionally reach a compromise with Byakuran, despite the compromise being more of a disaster than what was originally planned), a certain twin mists, lightning and cloud which he could not remember the name of, Gokudera (which he had been assigned under, after a research department has opened), Byakuran's weird wreaths (he somehow had really hoped they did not reincarnate in this world; one Byakuran was enough trouble), Spanner, a weird fat tech guy (who has a record of an abundance of failed inventions), Xanxus and his guardians and finally Byakuran.
There was quite a lot that he knew about Byakuran. Sometimes, more than he had felt comfortable with.
He knew Byakuran's sleeping habit, where he stash his marshmallows, how Byakuran had, at one point, made a marshmallow house in the training room when Shoichi was absent, how Byakuran irritated the Vongola cloud by throwing marshmallows towards him at one of the dinners Tsuna had invited all the core famiglia members to join (it ended up being a massive food fight instead of a civil dinner which Tsuna had hoped) and the list goes on and on.
...he should really stop ranting everytime he could, even though it helped him sort out things in his head.
It was not long after him finishing explaining his newly remembered memory of the Earth flames, when Fury called him to the Avengers tower. As he was a frequent visitor to the tower, he did not think much about it, and just packed his things, then drove to the Avengers tower from the newly built SHIELD underground headquarters
Oh how wrong he was...

And so that's how it came to the situation where he felt the world had betrayed his trust. Shoichi looked at the Avengers with a face that says 'Why?'.
Which got him a lifted eyebrow. The nerve of them. If they had known what kind of trouble they had brought, they would have just left them there, not bring them here to torment him!
"Kufufufufu, how... delightful to see you here~" Oh how Mukuro just loves to play with the genius engineer. He looks at the engineer, analysing and processing every detail that he can find, "Looks like you indeed are a bit of an amnesiac..."
Shoichi felt insulted, somehow.
"And how do you know that?" Fury probed.
Mukuro looked at Shoichi with mirth dancing in his heterochromatic eyes.
"I wonder how, indeed~"
_________________________________
It's been a week since the Avengers had 'adopted' the twins.
With Tony sneaking out to his lab in the middle of Fury and Mukuro's conversations.
Thor was not happy about it, and neither was Fury.
However, they were stopped when Chrome kindly warned them about forcing Tony to talk using underhanded methods as it might cause the anger of his sky. One of the most unstable sky in this case. If they did ignore her words, well, she had already warned them that Byakuran was a 100 times more dangerous than the weird sentient robot with the glowing stone on his forehead that was floating in the corner with the reasoning being that Byakuran is familiar with the inner workings of his own power while the red floating guy isn't.
"So..." Clint started. "Can you help us track that... sky of yours."
This was his first attempt in the whole week to talk to the twins, as each time they wanted to ask about what the twins knew on Byakuran, they disappeared immediately and would only come down to take their food. The Avengers, or rather, Natasha, had tried to threaten them by depriving them of food.
That did not end well.
A few days ago...
The two mists disappeared from the tower like they had never existed, which drove them hysteric. It was hard not to, as Shoichi had warned them, not only about the investigation talents of the two mists but also their capabilities in wreaking havoc in various creative ways.
And creative, they were.
On one of the Avenger's mission, well, their only one that week (and it was on the day after the twins had disappeared), they were supposed to shut down a factory that worked with Hydra to create dangerous weapons for sale. They all thought it was going to be a simple mission. At least, much more simple than trying to coax information about Byakuran from Tony's mouth. Oh how wrong they were.
(A/N: So... Gore scene below. I'll tell you when it's over)
The only thing that greeted them when they had barged in that very factory, were people running around with hand grenades and throwing them around while crazily laughing. It was as if they we just playing snowballs, and not lethal, blow-your-heads-off grenades. One had even brought out a rocket launcher and screamed, "Boom!" Before pulling the trigger and shot his own teammates. He then laughed hysterically until a grenade had exploded right in front of his face, instantly killing him.
The culprit had laughed at him in return.
One even looked into the hole of a bazuka, laughing. Eventually he blew his own head off.
What an idiot.
On a side note, another moron, had thought that it would be a great idea to open his own stomach and watched his internal organs fall out. He bled to death, of course.
(End of Gore scene, hope that those who stayed enjoyed it~ It's my first time writing a Gore scene, after all, so please do comment^^)
The Avengers stood there horrified, well, all except Tony, who was warned by Byakuran beforehand to not look inside. He did as told and watched as most of his teammates, rushed out of the building and started hurling the contents of their stomach out. Even Steve, Clint and Natasha looked a bit pale.
"Told ya not to agitate those two." Tony said smugly.
"And how do you know what would happen?" Steve asked weakly.
"I didn't. But just before this mission, Byakuran had texted me to not go into that warehouse, so I listened." Tony shrugged.
"And you didn't bother to tell us?" Clint questioned.
"Hey, in the first place, none of you guys would listen anyway." Tony snided, shrugging his shoulders. "Just like me telling you all, to not do anything that makes them feel threatened." Tony drawled in frustration and continued, "And what did Natasha do? She deprive them of food, which, from what I heard from Byakuran, is the only reason they agreed to follow us back."
"I mean like come on. Did you all really think that they would follow us just because they had no choice?" Tony said, placing his right hand on his forehead, lamenting the fact that his team are a bunch of idiots to underestimate those two, even if they looked like kids. Furthermore, if they had processed what those two had said during the battle with Ultron, they would have pieced together that those two had remembered everything, and not bits and pieces like Irie, from their past lives as mafia members (he stole that information from SHIELD'S database by the way), or whatever life they had led. So, instead of underestimating the two kids, they should have treaded carefully as the two had knowledge of information gathering and the like.
He was not going to spell it all out for them though; they had to learn it themselves.
"Like seriously, if either of you had used your brains to think about why they had agreed to follow us back, you'll notice that it can't be that we are that powerful to force them into cooperating. Instead, it means that they wanted something from us. Scouting, gaining information, confirming the information they have maybe? There is a whole array of reasons other than the one we had labeled them with."
The Avengers had not dared to dismiss any information Tony blurted out before thinking it through after this, nor did they dare to look down on the two mist who cause then nightmares since that mission.
