You stepped out of your long black limousine onto the red carpet. The sky was dark with night yet light was provided by the flashing of cameras. Various villains and PLF members cheered as you walked into the grand auction house. It was an underground facility known for having the highest of quality items and hero’s. Of course, hero’s that wouldn’t try to arrest you.
As the camera flashes slowed when you disappeared through the grand doors, you took your seat at one of the personal tables. A fancy, and definitely expensive plate of food was presented in front of you by a butler in a black suit. This was customary of course for where you were at.
Throughout the night, several prized paintings, quirk enhancers, and other items were presented. Although you were just waiting for one thing, the hero known as Hawks.
It was a curiosity that drew you in. Maybe the thrill of getting back at one of the many people who had wronged you in the past. Maybe not him in particular but the fact he was associated with the group.
Everyone had their own reasons for bidding on the heros. For their quirks, to make them join their team, you were all villains for crying out loud. You knew it was wrong yet the thrill kept you going. As he was hauled out onto the stage, he struggled against the bearings around him.
Several buyers gasped as he was presented, like they hadn’t expected him to come out due to the pamphlet. You raised your paddle before the presenter said anything, a few people chuckling in the audience. The presenter let out a small huff of amusement before beginning.
“Presented here tonight is the infamous number two pro hero, Hawks. We will be starting bids at 100 million yen.”
A few gasped at the steep price but it was expected for someone of such high status.
