We're almost at 15,000 veiws, I'm so happy that this story has reached so many people. I know my uploading schedual has been all over the last few days, but I am trying to get these out for you guys.


"Oh uh, no." He held my tightly as he leaned into in, his lips tasted like a steak for some reason. as we pulled away to breathe he said something.

"For some reason you taste like strawberries and cookies..." He said a little dazed.

"Oh will you two stop face mashing, supper is ready." Jiro said from the doorway, we both became the same color as our hero names.


Chapter 27: The Internship

I stood in the train station with the rest of Class 1-A, in my lap was... several cases for all of my gear and ammo. "You should have gone with Arsenal." Kyoka teased.

"It's not my fault, the company just had to redesign my gear after the sports festival, though the ballistic plates will help." I sighed. "At least they aren't to heavy."

"Didn't they also outfit you with rubber rounds?" Izuku asked.

"Yeah, but they are still pestering on taking a look at my weapons, and..." I shook my head. "I keep telling them no."

"Well I mean, you don't want to lose any parts." Sero stepped in.

"Well it's the timing for the parts, it has to happen so quickly that if anything gets stuck, snap, it's all broken. When I first made my scythe it took me 5 months before I had everything right. Months after everyone else had their gear." I shrugged. "Art takes time."

"Only you could make a weapon like that art." Kaminari laughed.

"Indeed." we all had a good laugh.

"Though I do have more gear then usual, Thorns, my mother's wrist crossbows, I'm gonna have to learn how to use those." I let out a sad smile, 'And kill The Hero Killer with them.' I thought to myself.

"You don't have much left of her, but she's..." Uraraka started.

"She's watching over all off us." I cut her off. "I will not let her down."


I sat across from Iida the seats next to us filled with our cases, Iida had a few due to his armor. "Rose, we will find him." his eyes set on something out side the window.

"Tenya, you don't have to be so formal, please call me Ruby." I smiled at him. "Though we do have to end his spree. Any clue how to find him?"

"All his victims were found in dark back alleys, and he always takes out four or five heroes before moving onto the next city. The survivors say that he was muttering about something to do with how heroes act." He shook his head.

"Anyone know how his quirk works?" I asked.

"No, they all say it happened so quickly that they didn't have time to fight back. But if we take him on together..." he looked at me and I had the same thought.

"He can't fight more then one person at a time." He nodded at me.

As the land sped past us we chatted about a few things, he helped me with some homework and we got some food from the dinner cart. It was dark when the trained pulled into the station, I staggered around with the cases, Iida carried his with ease. "You really didn't need all that stuff."

"But I need my tools." I put them down on a bench.

"Where is Manual?" Iida asked while looking around.

"Right behind you." I jumped while Iida just turned to face the pro.

"Red Huntress and Tenya?" He asked, he stood in his gear, a skin tight shirt tucked into dark blue pant, his hair was covered by a helmet with a fish fin.

"Yes sir." Tenya stood straight up.

"Please, no need to be so formal. I am Manual, you will be serving with me." We both nod as he looks at my pile of cases.

"Hero gear?" He asked.

"Yes, as well as my ammo and tools, and a few cans of spray paint and clear coat, doing a new paint job on my main weapon so it's in pieces right now." I explained. "Didn't want to lose anything."

"Taking care of your gear is great first step, power or hand tools?" He asked.

"Hand tools, I only use power when needed." He seemed to approve of this.

"I'm assuming your here so that you can visit your brother in the hospital?" He asked Iida.

"Yes, I am." Iida gulped hard as he thought of what had happened.

"Well we should get going, here let me help you with that." he took a few of the cases while I carried the rest to the car.

'Hero Killer, we will find you.' I thought.


I had a light bounce to my step as we patrolled the city, I was so glad to wear my Hero gear, last night with Manual's help I had finished putting Crescent Rose back together, how the red panels had a flowing white rose pattern on them, a small way to memorialize my mother.

"She seems rather excited." Tenya said to Manual.

"That's the coffee, who drinks espresso with one cream and five sugars?" Apparently my morning drinks weren't normal, but that's for them to miss out one.

"That... explains a lot." He held his helmeted head in his hand.

"She also baked cookies at three in the morning so that everyone could have some today... I think her gut is a engine that runs on sweets." The two had a good laugh at my expense.

After blowing a raspberry at them we came across a group of elementary school kids playing tag. They ran up to see the Hero but soon were gawking at me and Tenya. "She's the one that won the race at the UA sports festival, she was so fast!" The girl bounced up and down with excitement. "Please, can I have your autograph!"

"Okay." I signed various note pads and other things as more and more kids came over.


"She's rather popular with kids." Manual said to Tenya, "She'll probably inspire more then a few future heroes."

"Indeed she is, but she also so kind hearted, helping out our class with our hero gear to improve our chances, or even straight up making new gear for us." Tenya told him.

"With her skill set, I think she might rise to be the Number 1 Hero." Manual thought out loud.

"But she isn't the strongest one in our class." Tenya looked at him.

"It isn't all about power, look at her, she lost her mother, and yet here she is, making kids smile." Manual smiled. "It's more then just beating down the villains. You have to inspire hope in people, and a Reaper that stands for justice, that is one hell of a symbol."

"You think she's the next All Might?" Tenya asked.

"Why wouldn't she be?" The pro looked at her as she put some band-aids on a kids scrapped knee.

"She isn't looking for fame or money." Iida said.

"And that is why, she reminds me a lot of the older heroes, those from when quirks first appeared. That is why she will become the number one Hero."


I pulled the heavy cloak tight around me as I looked across the street, there she was. "Ruby... I'm sorry."


And Chapter 27 is done, finito, finished, completed. written and edited.
