Author's note: I decided to edit The Prologue of the story a bit to hopefully fix some of the grammar issues and the flow of the story. I didn't expect my story to become as popular as it has (well okay, it's popular to me). I really appreciate every review and reader I get! I'll try to come up with the next chapter whenever I can. I probably wouldn't have continued if I didn't get as much support as I have, but for that I want to thank everyone. Other than that, enjoy the story! (:
Yukito was a young woman who had worked as a grocery store clerk. Her days were boring, and often dragged on while she barely made ends meat. Today, like the others, was one of those days. She leaned against the check out desk, waiting for any sign of customers. Her mint green eyes looked tired, while her caramel brown hair was a little messy. She had felt like her way of living was growing dull, so she had little to no motivation to take care of herself. She heard the little chime come from the door,signifying someone had entered the grocery store.
A man with black, spiky hair entered the building. He was wearing a strange little outfit. Yukito paid no mind to it, after working in the same grocery store since high school, she had gotten used to seeing weird things. With nothing to do, she watched the man pick out some food, mostly banana's, then head over to her register. She had noticed that even though the man looked roughly her age, his hairline was already thinning. She couldn't help but to think that it was a little odd. She scanned his items and bagged them accordingly, "Your total is $14.35."
"Uh, hold on a sec…I'm sure I have some change…" He dug around in his wallet, trying to find 35 cents. Yukito couldn't help but sigh, this man seemed to be slower than the elderly! Well, in her opinion at least…Then again, she has been called impatient before. Nearly a minute passes and another disaster is announced. This time, it seems to be a Demon-rank. The thin-haired man quickly handed her some money and told her to keep the change. He then rushes out of the store. Taking his groceries with him of course.
Yukito looked shocked for a moment, not too sure as to why exactly he was out in a hurry so much. Then she pieced it together, "this is a demon-level disaster warning!I should be heading home just as he is!" She then quickly clocked out, and started to head home. She had ran as fast as her legs could carry her reaching her home within a few minutes. Thankfully she had lived close by her workplace. Home at last! She went to open the door, her adrenaline causing her hands to become shaky. She did her best to block out the screams of other citizens as she managed to grab a hold of her door knob. Before she could turn the knob and enter the safety of her home, it was demolished in front of her.
She found it hard to see straight since she was knocked back by the blow of her house being destroyed. She blinked a few times, looking up only to see a huge monster staring at her, drool coming out of his large mouth. The monster's hand went towards her, and she knew if she didn't move death would have gotten a hold of her. Her breathing started to increase, and that's when her power had awoken.
Through instinct, she managed to freeze the monster's hand. But since the monster was so big, she ended up collapsing. The monster let out a yell and went to smash it's hand on Yukito, but then it was killed by the man with black hair. The same man she had met in the grocery store. Her vision started to worsen and her head ached, she wanted to ask his name, or at least to thank him for saving her life. But before she could, she lost consciousness.
She couldn't remember much after the battle, but the image of the dark-haired man stayed in her mind. Who exactly was he anyway? And how was he so strong? These questions only made her wonder about her own power. While she was in the hospital, the doctors found something strange happening to her body. Her lungs could produce ice. For a while, every time she exhaled bits of ice would come out of her mouth without much explanation. The doctors tried to figure it out, but of course it was a mystery.
That incident had occurred exactly two years ago. Now, she had learnt how to control her power. Although she may not know where it came from, all she knows is that she has it. The caped man inspired her to become a superhero, and rather than Yukito, she had gone by the name of Frost. With a new name and reputation, it was almost as if she had replaced her boring life with something more. Now she felt alive, as if she had a purpose in life. Her hair became neater, and the bags under her eyes had disappeared. She became a new woman. She became a hero.
Frost had become Rank 10 in class A about a month ago. An achievement she worked hard for, and was very proud of. Of course, while working she wore a suit. An almost robotic suit. The suit had two heating tanks on the back, which would take the ice she could produce and turn it into hot water, or steam. This was so she could fly during battle, or even spray enemies with boiling water. Freezing them generally took a little too much time, and she didn't have the patience for that.
If the suit wasn't recognizable enough, Frost made sure to wear a scarf around her neck. She had gotten it once she became a superhero, but as time had gone on, the ends had grown tattered and old. Yet, she wore it for good luck. Even out of her suit, she would wear it. Because of this, it was easier for her fans to spot her on the street. She wasn't too popular, but she was still popular enough to be asked for some autographs.
Frost, the Artic Warrior, that was her title. But ever since Caped Baldy and Demon Cyborg became heroes. It had been harder for her to even try to rank up. Although the bald superhero seemed to be going up the ranks rather quickly, she didn't care. But she did want to know his secret. How could he go up so quickly? What sort of training did he do?
She had to know.
So she decided to ask around, and eventually found out his name. Saitama. Currently in Class B. So that was his name. She re-wrapped the scarf around her robotic-like armor and headed out, trying to find this almost familiar bald hero.
