Dad and I got up earlier than normal and he drove me to school while Uncle Present Mic drove in his car. Dad parked a little bit away from the school and on the walk to the school many people kept congratulating me on my win at the Sports Festival and saying how powerful I was and because of Present Mic saying that I was the girl who fought at the USJ they were commenting on how brave I was despite my many protests. I didn't let my irritation come to my face knowing that it could end badly if I did. Instead I walked quickly towards the school and only once I sat in my seat in class an hour and a half early did I breathe a sigh of relief to not have anyone asking me questions. For once I was glad for the rain because it made sure that most people weren't out that early even if it was only 7:30.

I remember sending Tenya a text to tell him who my mother and father are and it kept bothering me trying to figure out what he thought because I couldn't see him face to face until today. Though he did tell me about Ingenium which sadden my heart because I remember the enthusiasm that Tensei Iida or Ingenium had had and how he'd encouraged me to go for my dreams as a hero. The world will miss a hero like that. It made me hate the Hero Killer: Stain even more.

People started flooding in and I was listening to all of their conversations.

Ashido says, "It's so weird that people recognize us from TV. Everyone wanted to talk to me on my way here."

Kirishima says, "Yeah, me, too!"

Hagakure says, "People on the street were staring at me! It was kind of embarrassing."

Ojiro says, "Sure, but isn't that pretty normal for you?"

Sero says, "You won't believe what a bunch of elementary school brats yelled at me."

Tsu says, "'Nice try'?"

Sero just groans as the others around him start laughing but I just smirk slightly listening to them and actually looking at them instead of hiding my head on my desk.

Kaminari says, "All it took was one sports festival and suddenly we're like celebrities."

Mineta says, "This school really is amazing."

The door opens and I look at it seeing my dad I smile. I'm glad that I no longer have to hide that he is my father from the class anymore. He had told me over the short break that I could actually call him dad in class if I wished to or Mr. Aizawa if it was easier for me though he said that when I fought against villains or fought side-by-side with him I still have to call him Eraserhead. Dad says, "Morning."

All the students say, "Good morning, Mr. Aizawa!"

I say quietly, "Good morning, dad." Causing a couple to turn to me and I smile at them without thinking.

Though I see the shocked expressions on their faces at seeing dad without his bandages anymore so I start laughing until dad says, "Cara, cut it out." The reason why we had left so early was because he wanted to go to Recovery Girl to heal him the rest of the way even though I'd offered to help him he had refused saying he didn't want me to hurt myself on his account which made me want to slap him.

Tsu says, "Ribbit? Mr. Aizawa, you don't have bandages anymore. That's good news."

Mr. Aizawa says, "The old lady went a little overboard in her treatment." Dad started scratching under his left eye uncomfortably he wasn't used to others caring for him except me. He closed his eyes and sighed saying, "Anyway. We have a big class today on Hero Informatics."

The students look worried and say, "Oh, no!"

Kaminari says, "Informatics? Please don't tell me it's a pop quiz."

Kirishima says, "Crap, I bet it's about hero laws. I'm so bad at stuff like that."

I chuckle hearing these but I don't take my eyes off my dad wondering what is going on. At the look he has I suddenly wonder, when are we supposed to pick our hero names? Uncle Hizashi said we normally do it after the Sports Festival. Is that what dad is talking about? Guess I'll find out if he hurries up.

Dad says slowly, "You need codenames. Time to pick your hero identities."

Many students jump and all of them except Todoroki, Bakugo, Tokoyami, and me all scream, "This is gonna be totally awesome!"

Dad activates his Quirk and growls. Some of the students say, "Ssshhhh."

While deactivating his Quirk he says, "This is related to the pro hero draft picks that I mentioned the last time we were in class together. Normally, students don't have to worry about the draft yet. Not until their second or third year actually, but your class is different. In fact, by extending offers to first-years like you, pros are essentially investing in your potential. Any offers can be rescinded if their interest in you dies down before graduation, though."

Mineta hits the desk muttering, "Stupid, selfish adults." I turn in my sit to glare at him which immediately results in him cowering back.

Hagakure says pulling my attention back up front, "So, what you're saying is, we'll still have to prove ourselves after we've gotten recruited."

He looks at her and says, "Correct. Now. Here are the totals for those of you who got offers." He looks at me saying the last part.

I look at the list and see my name is on top with over 5,000 offers! Todoroki under me with 4,123. Bakugo with 3,556. Tokoyami with 360, Iida with 301, Kaminari with 272, Yaoyorozu with 108, Kirishima with 68, Uraraka with 20, and Sero with 14.

Dad points at the board saying, "In past years, it's been more spread out. But there's a pretty big gap this time."

Kaminari says, "Gah! That's no fair."

I say, "Hey you got some, Kaminari. Not everyone in the class did. So you really shouldn't be complaining."

Aoyama says, "What about the real star? Moi?

Jiro says, "Cara got the most but Todoroki got the second most, ahead of Bakugo?"

Kirishima says, "Yeah, it's the opposite of how they placed in the festival with those two."

Sero says, "They probably weren't excited about working with the guy who had to be chained up at the end."

Bakugo turns and says, "If I scared a pro, they're just weak!"

Yaoyorozu sighs before looking at Todoroki saying, "That's amazing. You must be proud."

Todoroki says, "These offers are probably because of my father. Cara's offers are legit not sure about mine."

Ochaco shakes Iida while giggling and saying, "People want us!"

Mineta shakes Izuku and says, "Midoriya. You got none! I bet everyone was really grossed out by the crazy way you were fighting."

Iida gets up and comes over to me and says, "I'm sorry I didn't answer you before in response on what you texted me about you being the daughter of Mr. Aizawa. From the text you sent after the information about your parents I'd say that you think we may not want you in class because you think we may not see you as worthy. Let me try and put your fears at ease at least from my side. You fought and protected us during the USJ incident despite most of us not talking to you and you got hurt pretty badly and yet you kept fighting. In the Sports Festival you only KO'd Bakugo and even when you injured one of us you healed it. With Kaminari and me you knocked us out of the ring without doing any actual injury because of your control. Your fight against Tokoyami you were incredibly strong but again you only focused on getting him out of the ring instead of fighting until one or both of you was KO'd. My mother had recorded the festival and I watched your battle against Bakugo and while you showed no mercy you also were careful not to hurt him even though he wasn't even trying to not hurt you and even when he visibly hurt you, you didn't retaliate. My brother knew you and he said that you've always put others before yourself and that is what makes me want to follow you. You belong here more than most of us. You said in the beginning that you weren't better than anyone here and that we all had room to improve but in reality you are more ahead than any of us could hope to be. I can't say if the others feel the way I do but you shold know that I at least feel this way and I'll stand behind you no matter what."

I smile as everyone even Bakugo says that they agree and I feel my eyes start to tear up as I look at my father and I see a smile on his face and Tsu says, "Mr. Aizawa is proud. I don't think I've ever seen him smile like that." As soon as she says that dad hides the smile and goes back to a neutral face like always as Tenya retreats back to his seat.

Dad says,"Despite these results, you'll all be interning with pros. Got it? Even those of you who didn't get any offers."

Izuku says, "Oh, so, we're all interning?"

Dad says, "Yes." I was surprised he wasn't frustrated since he just said that. He continues, "You already got to experience combat with real villains during the attack on the USJ facility. But it'll still be helpful to see pros at work. Up close and personal, in the field. Firsthand. Cara's fighting ability can consent to that. Since Cara was six she has had to analyze heroes in the field and since she was 9 she was helping evacuate others and since she was 11 she was allowed to fight villains if needed though only when permission was granted. During lunch you can ask her about it, not in class though."

Sato says, "And for that, we need hero names!"

Ochaco says, "Things are suddenly getting a lot more fun!"

Dad continues, "These hero names will likely be temporary, but take them seriously or..."

The door opens suddenly and I turn to see Midnight as she says, "...you'll have hell to pay later!"

All the males gasp and I say, "Really, Midnight? You really couldn't wait for dad to finish. You and Uncle Mic are always so impatient." I let my head drop hard to the desk causing the others to look at me before turning their attention back to Midnight.

Midnight ignores me and says, "What you pick today could be your codename for life. You better be careful, or you'll be stuck with something utterly indecent."

The students all say, "It's Midnight!"

Dad continues, "Yeah. She's got a good point." I always wondered why dad never reacted to Midnight. She had made a couple of passes at him but he never gave her a second look. I wondered if he would ever get another woman. I hoped that he didn't hold back because of me...then again he said that he wanted to give me a mother figure and that Midnight didn't cut it. He continues breaking me out of my thoughts saying, "Midnight is going to have final approval over your names. It's not my forte."

He bends down to get something under his desk and I mutter, "You are going to take a nap while Midnight does this, aren't you?" He only glances in my directionnot saying anything. I remember how Uncle Mic and mom had given dad his name at least from the story dad had told me when I had asked why Eraserhead. Supposedly Uncle Mic wanted it to be HeadEraser and mom had said no Eraserhead sounds better.

I'm pulled out of my thoughts once again by dad's voice, "The name you give yourself is important. It helps reinforce your image and shows what kind of hero you wanna be in the future. A codename tells people exactly what you represent. Talk 'All Might' for example." I grab the dry erase board and marker as I'm handed it by Midnight.

I look at the whiteboard and wonder what I should put. I look up to see dad sound asleep so I can't ask him for any help. His forte or not I wish I could have his input. I suddenly wish mom were here remembering that she had helped him in finding his hero name.

I'm pulled away from memory lane again by Midnight saying, "Now, students, who among you is ready to share?"

Kirishima says, "We're presenting these?"

Sero says, "Oh, great! Who's got the balls to go first?"

I'm surprised when Aoyama walks up and presents his saying, "Hold your breath. The Shining Hero. My name is 'I can not stop twinkling'! Mon amis. You can't deny my sparkle." I slap my forehead with my right hand palm up with a flame in it.

All the students say, "Come on!"

Midnight takes his whiteboard and starts writing on it saying, "It'll be better this way. Take out the 'I' and shorten the 'cannot' to 'can't'."

Aoyama says, "It's stunning, mademoiselle."

The other students asks, "She likes it?"

Sato says, "Also, you're not really French, are you? That's just an act."

I say quietly, "That's Midnight for you." I go back to staring at my blank board contemplating what a good name was.

I listen as Ashido says, "Okie dokie, lemme go next! My code name: Alien Queen!"

Midnight says, "Hold on. Like that horrible monster with the acidic blood? I don't think so." From her reaction I remember dad forcing her and me to watch that movie with him as well as Present Mic but I luckily had been focused on my training so I only caught glimpses where she had to watch the whole thing.

Ashido says, "Dang it."

The students say, "That one wasn't okay? Since the first two were so weird, I feel like I have to come up with something really clever now."

I hear Tsu say, "Ribbit! I think I've got one. Okay if I go next?"

Midnight says, "Come on up!"

Tsu says, "I've had this name in mind since grade school. Rainy Season Hero: Froppy!" I immediately smile thinking that it suits her.

Midnight says, "That's delightful! It makes you sound approachable. What a great example of a name everyone will love!"

The students start chanting, "Froppy! Froppy! Froppy! Froppy! Thanks, Froppy! Finally, a normal one!" I look to Todoroki and notice that even he is enjoying the atmosphere around us.

Kirishima says, "I've got mine, too. The Sturdy Hero. My name is Red Riot!"

Midnight says, "'Red Riot'? Interesting. You're paying homage to the Chivalrous Hero, Crimson Riot, yes?"

Kirishima says, "That's right. He may be kind of old school, but someday. I wanna be just like he was. Crimson is my idol."

Midnight says, "Hm. If you're bearing the name of someone you admire, you have that much more to live up to."

Kirishima says, "I accept the challenge. A friend once told me that becoming a hero means working hard to push over your limits." At this he looks at me and I smile meeting his eyes and giving him a slight nod.

Kaminari says, "Man. I still haven't been able to think of anything that's cool enough."

I stop paying attention to the others as Midnight says, "Cara. How's your name going?"

I look at the blank board and say, "I don't know, Midnight. I know dad said it's not his forte but I wish he could help. I even wish mom were here to help. She helped with dad's. I got so many of my Quirks from my blood that I want to do something that combines both mom and dad's but I can't think of anything that would suit it."

Midnight says, "You'll find one for you. You got your mom's creativity. You definitely didn't get it from your dad."

I turn my attention to Jiro who says, "The Hearing Hero. I'm Earphone Jack."

Midnight says, "Now that's a good one!"

Shoji says, "The Tentacle Hero, Tentacole."

Midnight says, "Oh, I like what you're doing with that. A nice portmanteau."

Sero says, "The Taping Hero, Cellophane!"

Midnight says, "That's on the nose. Good work!"

Ojiro says, "Martial Arts Hero: Tailman."

Midnight says, "No surprise with that one, I guess!"

Sato says, "I'm the Sweets Hero, Sugerman!"

Midnight says, "Perfect!"

Ashido tries again, "Pinky!"

Midnight says, "Make those looks work for you, girl!"

Kaminari says, "Stun Gun Hero: I am Chargebolt. Electric, doncha think?"

Midnight says, "Makes me all tingly!"

Hagakure says, "The Stealth Hero: Invisible Girl!"

Midnight says, "That really suits you! Now come on, who's gonna step up next?"

Yaoyorozu says, "I hope that I can live up to this name. The Everything Hero: I'm Creati!"

Midnight says, "Creative!"

Todoroki says, "Shoto."

Midnight says, "Just your name? Is that it?"

Todoroki says, "Uh-huh."

Tokoyami says, "Jet-Black Hero: Tsukuyomi."

Midnight says, "Ah, God of the night!"

Mineta says, "Fresh-Picked Hero: Grape Juice!"

Midnight says, "Very kitschy!"

Koda stands up and holds a board that says, "Petting Hero: Anima."

Midnight says, "Yep. All about it."

Bakugo says, "King Explosion Murder."

Midnight says, "I'm gonna say that one's a little too violent."

Bakugo screams, "Huh, whaddaya mean?!"

Kirishima says, "Why don't you be Explosion Boy?"

Bakugo screams, "You shut up, weird hair!"

I stand up getting tired of Bakugo and say, "Bakugo, stop it. This is getting really old. You are giving me a headache. Mr. Aizawa said that Midnight has the final call on the names so listen to her and don't argue. You are going to have to learn to work with someone and Kirishima and Kaminari are probably the two here who can probably take your crap without wanting to hurt you so learn to work with them."

I walk to the window and put my forehead on it to cool my skin hoping it will help my headache. It doesn't work so I walk to dad's desk and grab a medicine bottle and look at the instructions and grab my water bottle before taking one out of the bottle and popping it in my mouth and chugging down a water to wash it down and put the bottle in his desk again as Tenya asks, "What did you just take out of Mr. Aizawa's desk?"

I say, "Calm down, Tenya. It was just my migraine medicine. I'm allowed to get in his desk for it. Otherwise I wouldn't. Plus I'm not going to disturb his sleep knowing that he'd just tell me to get it myself." Tenya nods and leaves me alone on the subject.

Ochaco says, "Okay. My turn." After a slight pause she continues, "This is the name I thought of: Uravity!"

Midnight says, "I just love that!"

Ochaco breathes a sigh of relief.

Midnight says, "To be honest, choosing names is going faster than I thought it would. All we have left is young Bakugo, who needs to rethink his, and Iida. Oh, yes, and Midoriya, too. As well as Cara."

I look at Tenya and see that he is fighting against himself and I remember the text he'd sent about Tensei's condition and I wondered if Tensei had wanted Tenya to take the name Ingenium. It wouldn't surprise me if he did.

Tenya goes up and his board read, "Tenya."

Midnight says, "You're using your real name, too?" But she doesn't fight it which surprises me. Midnight says after a slight pause, "Well, Midoriya, are you ready?"

Izuku says, "Oh. Yes!" He walks up and shows his board which shows, "Deku."

Everyone gasps.

Mineta says, "Really, Midoriya?"

Kaminari says, "You sure about that?"

Kirishima says, "Yeah, man, remember, that could be your name forever."

Izuku says, "Right. I used to hate it. But, then something changed. I guess...someone taught me that it could have a different meaning. And that had a huge impact on how I felt. So, now I really like it. Deku. That has to be my codename!" I smile at him seeing his conviction and I know that he will rise to the top in the future.

Bakugo screams, "Lord Explosion Murder!"

Midnight says, "That's basically the same thing."

Bakugo sits to try again Midnight says, "Cara. You are last. Are you ready?" I shake my head.

Only a second later dad says, "Now that everyone's decided on their hero names, we can go back to talking about your upcoming internships."

Midnight says, "Actually, Aizawa, Cara hasn't finished hers."

All of the sudden everyone is looking at me as dad says, "Let me see yours so far, Cara. I know you don't have nothing. You've been looking for yours for years." I walk up and hand the whiteboard that had multiple names but I couldn't decide.

Dad walks to Midnight and they look at them and Midnight says, "I like the last two. Five and six. Have the class decide which one she should use."

Dad says, "Okay." He turns to me and says, "Come up here. You are writing them on the board and we'll have the class vote."

I walk up there and he hands me my whiteboard back. I turn to the blackboard and grab a piece of chalk and write, "First choice, The Dusk Stealth Hero: Silver Phoenix. Second choice, "The Dusk Stealth Hero: Dark Silver Phoenix." I back away from the blackboard so the class can see.

Midnight says, "Raise your hand if you think Cara's hero name should be The Dusk Stealth Hero: Silver Phoenix." Only Jiro and Sato raise their hand for that one. Midnight says, "Raise your hand if you think Cara's hero name should be The Duck Stealth Hero: Dark Silver Phoenix." Everyone but Jiro and Sato raise their hands even Bakugo raises his hand as well as Dad despite Midnight swatting at his hand saying, "You don't get a vote, Aizawa."

Kirishima says, "It fits your fighting style. You are a mystery to your enemy but you are a bright light to your allies."

Yaoyorozu says, "Plus it goes well with your costume which is black and silver."

Izuku asks, "How did you come up with those?"

I say quietly, "I wanted it to be a combination of both my parents since I've realized that I fight like them. I was trained by my dad more so I tend to favor his fighting but some of my mom's fighting shows in me. Plus my mom used to call me her little phoenix. It kind of stuck and when I'm feeling down someone I know calls me phoenix again and it helps a lot. The other ones weren't very good. The other choices were The Stealth Hero: Phoenix, The Erasure Hero: Phoenix, The Erasure Elemental Hero: Dark Phoenix, or The Stealth Erasure Hero: Dark Phoenix. I'm kind of glad that dad and Midnight picked the last two because they were the better ones."

Yaoyorozu says, "You are very creative. You came up with a lot." I blush slightly at the compliment.

Todoroki says, "Your mom would have loved to know she helped with your hero name. Why dusk and silver though?"

I say, "Actually that was from your mom, Todoroki. I don't know if you remember but Aunt Rei used to joke about me being almost invisible in the dusk if it wasn't for the white of my hair seeming to glow silver in the moonlight. She would jokingly call me the Dusk Silver Phoenix."

Todoroki laughs surprising everyone as he said, "Yes, and I used to say no you are a dark silver phoenix. With a fiery wrath." I laugh with him and the whole class smiles seeing the two most reserved students laughing without a care in the world. After a minute our laughs fade but are smiles stay.

Mr. Aizawa says after Bakugo finally gave a name, "Now that everyone's decided on their hero names, we can go back to talking about your upcoming internships. They'll last for one week. As for who you'll be working with: those of you who were on the board will choose from among your offers, everyone else will have a different list. You have a lot to think about. There are around 40 agencies across the country who've agreed to take on interns from your class. Each agency has a different specialty that its heroes focus on. Keep that in mind."

Midnight says, "Imagine that you were Thirteen. You'd want to choose a place that focuses on rescuing people, not fighting villains. Understand?"

Mr. Aizawa continues, "Think carefully before you decide."

The students say, "Yes, sir!"

Mr. Aizawa hands out the papers with the agenices who agreed to take on those who didn't get offers and the papers with offers to those who got it. He says to me after finishing, "Cara, you are going to be restricted to intern under someone you haven't trained under before. Both Best Jeanist, Present Mic, Midnight, and I have made sure not to offer this time around but next time that option will be available if you wish it though it will be actual fighting not just evacuting." I nod showing I understand him. I look at the paper and seen one of the first names on my list knowing who I want to go for despite not liking him personally.

I hear Kirishima say as the bell rings, "I want to fight crime and bad guys in a big city."

Tsu says, "I just hope I can intern someplace where there's a lot of flooding. Or maybe a lake."

Mr. Aizawa says, "Turn in your choices before the weekend."

Sero says as Mr. Aizawa's walking out, "We've only got two days?"

Mr. Aizawa says, "Yeah, so you should start now. You're dismissed." He walks out with Midnight and says, "Coming, Cara?" He shuts the door not giving me time to respond. I roll my eyes but I don't bother standing up.

Todoroki asks me, "Who do you think you're going to intern with, Cara?"

I shrug and say, "I'm not sure. Over five thousand that I have to go through. Though I think I have a good idea on who."

Todoroki asks, "Care to share?"

I say, "Your father sent me an offer. He's a top hero and I thought that he'd be good. If I can get passed his personality. My dad can be difficult to deal with sometimes but your dad is worse because he's always angry. I'm surprised he sent me one to be honest."

Todoroki nods and he says, "He sent me one as well and I think that if you are there then I'd be okay. He won't make it easy but he is a top hero so I can learn something from him."

I smile and then say, "Well, I got to go. Dad will be wanting me to hurry up so we can go home. I got to practice some more." I turn out the door without looking back with my bag on my back and the paper in my hand.
