But coming back the original function of Hemoglobin, it is for carrying, storing the oxygen. If it can be a peroxidase, then how about peroxidase?
Can Peroxidase store oxygen and functioning as an oxygen tank of the cell?
At least in fly, yes.

Drosophila immune cells transport oxygen through PPO2 protein phase transition - Nature
Drosophila haemocytes collaborate with the tracheal system to reserve and transport oxygen through the phase transition of PPO2 crystals, facilitating internal oxygen homeostasis in a process that is comparable to vertebrate respiration.

So, what are hemoglobins doing in the brain not in blood?
Recent research suggesting that it can be works as a peudoperoxidase.
Enhanced hemoglobin function can mitigates oxidative stress and neurodegeneration.

In the fly model, if you induce the expression of GFP during embryogenesis, you can see the mosaic pattern based on the copy of DNA of those cells. How do they handle overload of mRNA transportation?
