I can't guarantee a proper updating schedule, but I am almost done with chapter 3 already so there's that.
This chapter is just an intro, so it's extra short.
Tense silence thickened the air.
When Bakugo was sent to the principal's office, this was the farthest thing from what he expected. The blonde teen stood across the desk from the quirked rodent while Aizawa and All Might stood off to the side, observing. Classes had just ended when the two teachers escorted him to see Nedzu for something important.
Bakugo's leg was fidgeting as he thought. They were offering him the opportunity to spend the next semester studying at a school in America, but he didn't understand why it was a good idea, since it'd be a semester that he wasn't at Yuuei.
"Why?" he asked, a natural frown pulling down the corners of his mouth.
"We believe it would be an excellent learning experience for you," explained Nedzu. For such an intelligent creature, the principal was adept at answering while not giving any real information. Bakugo's frown deepened. Stepping forward, an emaciated All Might coughed into his fist to clear the itch in his throat.
"You should consider it, Bakugo, my boy. I spent a semester abroad when I was about your age, and it was an enriching experience."
They waited in anticipation as the explosive teen mentally weighed the pros and cons. While Yuuei was known to be the best hero school, he couldn't disregard a unique proposal like this offhand. Bakugo mindlessly tapped his heel.
"Where is it?" Nedzu's ear twitched, confident and pleased that they had Bakugo's interest.
"New York. A city called Bayville."
'Kurt, may I see you in my office, please?'
When the telepathic message floated through his head, the blue mutant froze, unfortunately giving Bobby the opening he needed to steal the basketball and score. He groaned, and, hidden by the image inducer, his tail lashed about in frustration.
"Be right there, Professor," he thought, waving goodbye to the guys who resumed their game as he walked back inside. Since it was saturday, the various residents of the manor were scattered around the property since going into town wasn't much fun or very safe with all the anti-mutant protests going on. Kurt saw Scott and Jean talking over the newspaper in the kitchen, and Jamie was playing video games with Ray in the living room.
Kurt knocked on the main office's door and called out, "Professor?"
'Come in, Kurt.' When he pushed open the door and looked inside, he saw Ororo standing next to Xavier at his desk. "Have a seat." Kurt gave an affirming nod then walked over to sit in one of the chairs.
"What do you need, Professor?" he asked, anxiously tapping his fingers against his knees.
"I was contacted by the principal of a school abroad that specializes in training the use of mutations, and he's interested in a student exchange for next semester."
"If you think you'd be interested," Ororo interjected, "you can have time to think it over."
Honestly, it sounded like a fantastic idea. All of the anti-mutant protesters made Kurt anxious, and they didn't even know about his true appearance. Of course, there was no guarantee that the place he'd be going to would be any better.
"Where is it?"
"Musutafu, Japan."
I had to write something for this crossover. Bakugo could learn something about humility by being with the X:Men, who are hated for their powers, something he was always praised for, and Kurt needs some lovin' for his beautiful blue face in a country where quirk differences are celebrated.
