Meeting Giran again!
Bullet waved his arms excitedly, saying "Knuckleduster don't know! Bullet fight the Rapper! Beat him to death! About to die then boom! You see old arm? Little girl have rewind Quirk, bring back! Wah! Just like this!"
Knuckleduster smiled in amusement as Bullet looked at him, waving his arms wildly, saying "Waaaaaaaaaah! Like this!" Knuckleduster ruffled his head, laughing "You're all grown up, kid." Bullet smiled happily and pulled Momo, saying "This best friend! Princess! You know, house real big! Huge! Like castle!"
Momo blushed in embarrassment as Bullet wrapped his arm around her neck, laughing "But girlfriend think Momo concubine, not like really. Think Momo sneak into room at night! AHAHAH!" Knuckleduster was speechless as Momo kicked him, saying angrily "CAN YOU SHUT UP?!"
Knuckleduster said "I thought she was your girlfriend!" Bullet waved his hands, saying "Nonono! Big joke! Girlfriend kill Momo hear this!" Knuckleduster laughed and shook his head as Momo kicked him angrily.
Suddenly, a guy walked over, laughing "Hey! A reunion! How ya doin', Bullet?" the three turned and Bullet smiled happily, "Giran! How going?" Giran waved his arm, showing him a robot hand as he said "Had to get some implants, how could I lose my smokin' hand? Haha!"
Momo was lost and Bullet smiled, "This Giran, Black Market Dealer. Best. Very famous. Criminal but not so villain, sell both to villain and vigilante. Sometimes help Hero all for a price. Just make money, not evil." Giran smiled and introduced himself, "Hello, Ms. Yaoyorozu. As Bullet said, my name is Giran. If you ever need some information, products, etc. I can provide my services. For a price, of course. But since your friends with Bullet… I'll give you a 5% discount."
Momo was stunned and asked strangely, "Should you really… put yourself out there? You're a criminal, you know…" Giran clicked his tongue, smiling as he waved a finger, "More like businessman. I like to consider myself a bridge that connects all different walks of life."
Knuckleduster rolled his eyes, saying "Shut up, Giran." Giran just grinned, handing Momo a card. She looked at the card speechlessly. This was so strange, a Black Market Dealer had business cards…
Giran turned to Knuckleduster asking curiously, "How are those new knuckledusters doing? You know, it was a bitch to get! Taser Knuckledusters that can withstand YOUR power… don't come cheap!" Knuckleduster grinned, "Very good. Maybe I'll call for something else soon."
Giran smirked, "Of course, you won't find a Broker better than me!" Momo asked "I thought you were a bridge." Giran replied "I'm whatever my client needs me to be." Bullet waved and said "Anyway! Giran! How doing?"
Giran clicked his tongue, flipping out a tracker, saying "Not so good, huh?" Bullet giggled happily, "Found out." Giran rolled his eyes, "Life has been difficult! But also lucrative. Police pay for info too. So should I thank you or what?"
Bullet chuckled, saying "Sorry, Giran. Bullet think good decision to watch you, maybe find news on League. Absorbed Lunatic Cult now… definitely a big problem." Knuckleduster looked curious and asked "Huh?" Giran and Bullet explained what happened in Deika.
Knuckleduster frowned deeply, "Those bastards… You should've killed them all, kid. What did I teach you?" Bullet looked ashamed, sighing "Try but… Freeze up." he explained his history with Himiko and sighed again.
Knuckleduster sighed and Giran was stunned, "This is true?! Amazing!" Bullet scratched his head and asked for advice, "What do? Bullet don't want to kill Himiko." Momo stayed silent and looked at him sadly.
Knuckleduster shook his head and said "Let's go, kids. See you, Giran." Bullet nodded at him and turned to Giran, "You watch out, Bullet hear bad news." Giran frowned slightly and Bullet explained "Word is HPSC looking to crack down on Black Market gear since Detnerat distribute for data. Bullet hear they come to find you, honestly thought you either dead or arrested. You not so bad guy, play both sides just to live, so Bullet warn. HPSC come for you, best to hide."
He pursed his lips and added, "Not to mention, Bullet don't really like HPSC. Bunch of bullshit." Giran rubbed his chin and nodded, "Alright, thanks kid. I'll keep my ears open…" before turning to Momo, smiling "Nice to make your acquaintance, Ms. Yaoyorozu. Hopefully we meet again. Farewell."
He waved and walked away to go meet a buyer before disappearing.
Knuckleduster brought Bullet and Momo with him, glancing at a couple scumbags before leaving with a warning look in his eyes.
Momo asked Bullet, "You warned him?" Bullet smiled kindly, "Mhm! Like say before. World very different from yours. Not all criminals bad. Giran talk nonsense sometimes but really businessman only. Bullet kill more people than him for sure. In this business just to make money and live comfortably, this not evil right?"
Momo pursed her lips in thought as Knuckleduster curled his lips and Bullet added, "You remember Aizawa say networking very important? Giran super huge network. A little money get whatever you need. Very useful. So in Bullet view, he not bad, really helpful. Someone give you money to get something, whether for good or evil don't really matter."
He smiled kindly to her, "Dark World underneath Light still need same things. Giran very smart, never play sides, only interested in money. He also very respectable. Never sell out clients. Otherwise turn to bones long time ago. Very smart guy, maybe a little greedy though. Bullet bring Momo here to meet Giran specifically."
She looked at him as he patted Knuckleduster, smiling "Also to find Knuckledusters, but Bullet help Momo make connections. Momo become big hero Bullet hope in top 10! You see not all criminals bad people. Depend what do. This like blaming Momo for making gun but Bullet the one using. Make no sense."
Momo smiled gently and Knuckleduster picked them up, disappearing as he chuckled, "Come on. Let's hurry up, I don't have time for your fake flirting."
