"Alright guys, when your train comes just get on and show the conductor the passes I gave you. The first train will be here soon so it's time to start saying goodbye." Aizawa instructed his class, who all nodded their understanding as they held onto their suitcases. Izuku was the only one carrying anything else in his hands, with the hoverboard in his hand as well. "Behave, stay in contact with one another and do as your internships tell you. And Midoriya?"
"Yes sir?"
"If I have to rescue you from these plumbers I'm going to hold you personally responsible." Aizawa deadpanned, and the Omnitrix bearer had no idea if he was being sarcastic or not as he walked off. Shaking his head, he instead turned to see Iida moving to leave and ran over to him, frowning.
"Iida!" He called out, managing to get the taller teen to turn around with a thoughtful frown. "Hey, I just wanted you to know I'm here if you need to talk at any point, ok? I'm going to need to stay in contact anyways so just say if you need to talk."
"….Thank you. I appreciate it." Iida said, nodding with the most fake smile the greenette had ever seen, before turning and leaving once more.
"He's starting to push us away…." Momo's voice suddenly appeared in his ear and he turned to see the creation girl watching her fellow class president with a frown. "I don't know if he'll be ok interning in Hosu… it's where his brother was attacked."
"That's what has me worried as well." Midoriya nodded, gaze shifting to his Omnitrix. He tried to reassure himself by reminding himself he could turn into blink anytime and race back if he really needed to. "I'll be in the same city but I have no idea if I'll even leave the base at all."
"Oh, the plumbers are in Hosu?" His maybe-girlfriend pondered as a train pulled in. "We'll all be in the same city then."
"Oh?" Midoriya cocked his head to the side, before gesturing to the train. "Guess we might as well sit beside each other on the way then."
"Sounds good to me." Momo said, as she begin walking towards it.
"So, what can you tell me about this Gwendolyn Tennyson then? I didn't get a chance to look her up." Midoriya pondered, as he flashed his pass to the conductor and took his seat beside the window, the raven haired girl sitting down across from him.
"I think you'd like her. She does both rescue and combat, but she specialises in the former. No one really knows where she came from, she just sort of appeared one day. She's a bit of enigma but she's proven herself to be a great hero time and time again. Oh and she has ginger hair." She explained, as she set down her stuff on the floor. "It's not much, but still more than we know about the plumbers."
"True." Izuku muttered as they pulled out, and he bit his lip while he thought. His gaze turned back to her and he decided it wouldn't hurt to check, leaning forward and meeting her eye. "S-so… maybe not the best time but uh… what are we now? Cause we've still not gone on t-that date or anything. I-"
Before he could continue, the taller teen's hand settled atop his as she leaned forward as well, smiling softly. "We're together. That's all that matters to me."
As she said that, something formed in-between their hands and she pulled away, revealing a tiny love heart plush toy. The Omnitrix bearer smiled at that, leaning back and pulling out his phone.
"Yeah. Being together is just fine." He nodded, pulling up his contacts. "Now, I should probably make sure everyone actually has me in their phones…"
It took two hours for the train to deliver them to their destination, where they had split up and gone different ways for their internships. They had tries to spot Iida but the engine teen seemed to have already escaped them.
Now Midoriya was walking alone through the streets of Hosu, equipment in one hand and a piece of paper in the other that had an address and a picture, where an empty street was with an archway above an entrance to a side area of a building and a few mailboxes were present.
It didn't take him to long to find the street, frowning as he looked around. There was no one here and no obvious clue as to the plumbers whereabouts. He didn't expect them to be blatantly advertising but a context clue would of helped.
BANG!
The greenette flinched suddenly, turning and looking down the street where he saw what was unmistakably an alien of some sort. It had a pitch black body and a singular yellow eye, with small feet that only had two toes. It had a tail and two tendrils coming out it's head that ended in… plug sockets? Except one seemed to be missing, yet It was clearly cut off.
And those were definitely American style plugs. As well as that, it's fingers had actual round plug like brass endings with holes. It was possible it was a human, but a gut feeling in the greenette told him otherwise.
And it was drawing power in through it's fingers from a car nearby it. Looking around, the greenette sighed as he realized he couldn't see any pro's.
"HEY! THAT'S ENOUGH!" He shouted, getting it's attention, only for it to throw a blast of energy at him which he barely dodged. Rolling over, he let out an annoyed sigh as he smacked in his watch.
A flash of green and suddenly he took to the sky.
"You really need to chill out." Chiller breathed out, making the aliens eye go wide as he swooped down at them, letting out a breathe of freezing air, that the alien jumped away from just in time using it's energy attack to boost itself.
"It's you…" It said, in an unmistakably feminine voice, before her gaze soured. "Just leave me alone! You don't- LOOK OUT!"
"Huh-AAHHHHHHHHHHH!" He let out a sudden scream of agony as a device planted itself onto his back suddenly and current after current shot through him. The alien hesitated upon seeing this but then she turned and ran, leaving him behind.
He was suddenly transformed back against his will as the volts stopped, and he looked up with bleary eyes to see multiple men in grey uniform pointing guns at him.
"What are you doing?! That's the intern you idiots!" A voice called, and a man with a stocky build and vibrant blonde hair in a pompadour stepped into his vision, leaning down to him. "You ok, kid?"
"Y-yeah…. I think so…" He muttered, groaning and accepting the hand held out to him.
"I apologize about them, we're trying to contain an escaped prisoner, they likely presumed you to be an accomplice." He explained, glaring at the others. "It won't happen again. Now, I know who you are, Izuku Midoriya. Let me introduce myself, I am Magister Eito Homura."
"Nice to finally meet you, sir." Izuku said quietly, rubbing at his back. "Who was that? That alien"
"…We don't know it's name." The plumber said after a pause, gesturing for the teenager to follow him. They began to walk back to the mailboxes. "It was a conductoid though."
"Sounded like a she to me." Midoriya said, crossing his arms as he walked and the plumber shrugged, far too quick to defend himself.
"Alien. Could be anything." He said, as he tapped the underside of the mail box and all too suddenly the floor fell apart, until only the section they were on remained as it brought them underground.
"So what's a Conductoid?"
"They are creatures who absorb and output energy. They take it in through their tendrils and output it through their fingers as attacks, as well as feeding on electricity." The Magister explained, and Midoriya nodded.
"Sounds like a cool ability. So, Magister, I'm just going to cut to the chase. Why do you want me and how can I know I can trust you?" The greenette wasted no time, which managed to elicit a chuckle from Homura.
"We want to make sure you go down the right path in regards to alien life, and understand how to handle aliens." The plumber explained as they finally reached their destination and Izuku's eyes went wide as he took in the operation. There were at least thirty desks full of five to ten people all working away at different computers. Near the front there was a monitor overlooking a massive pole that descended down forever and there was… cells? "If you're wondering about the containment, we have to fit a lot in to one place because of our secrecy. We are a prison as well as a training facility."
"Comforting." The Omnitrix bearer muttered sarcastically. "So what will I be doing? And what's going to happen with that alien?"
"We'll have to track them down again." Homura explained as they began making their way through. "Once we do we'll arrest them again, and bring them back. As for you, until we do that, I think you could do with a little in-depth study of your aliens. Learn their weaknesses and capabilities."
A brown haired man came towards the two, likely only three or four years older than Midoriya and saluted.
"Sir!"
"Ah, Midoriya, this is Esumi Norio. Should you have any questions or needs during your stay here, just come find him and he'll see what he can do for you." Homura said, turning to the main console. "He'll show you to your room for now, then to the training center where I'll come and meet you."
"Yes sir." Midoriya nodded, turning to his guide who silently gestured for him to follow which he obeyed. As he walked, he couldn't help but look down to the cells below and frown.
'That's a lot of prisoners…..'
"Hello? Miss Tennyson?" Momo called out as she walked into the apartment she'd been told to go to. It wasn't the most impressive thing ever, the apartment looking like it was barely the size of her closets back home. "It's Momo Yaoyorouzu from U.A., you sent an internship request?"
Suddenly a woman hurried around the corner, smartly dressed in a red V-neck sweater and dress shirt. She had a grey skirt with tight leggings and black heels, and her hair was in a ponytail. "Ah, sorry! Just finishing up something in here, I'll be out in a moment."
"Ok, ma'am." The creation teen nodded as she sat down on the couch, looking around. It was neat and well looked after, but there was clear evidence that it hadn't always been like that, such as small cracks in the wall and such. "I… uh, I like your house. It's very…. Rustic?"
She cringed at her own choice of words, before an amused snort came as the pro walked around and took a seat, setting down a glass of water for the student.
"Please, it's a mess. Don't feel a need to try to make it any less than it is." She said with a smile, taking a sip of her own tea. "Sorry I just got you water, didn't know what you'd like."
"That's alright miss Tennyson, you didn't need to get me anything!" Yaoyorouzu said with a bow, missing the red heads eye roll.
"It's just Gwen, if you don't mind." She said, and the raven haired teen opened her mouth, caught off guard by that however no response came for a moment.
"I-iw oudln't want to be rude…"
"It's quite alright. Remember, I'm American, if anything it would be more polite. Still getting used to everything here, customs and that I mean." Gwen shrugged, sipping her tea.
"Oh, you haven't been here long?" the creation teen pondered, before smiling. "That explains why no one knows much about you."
"Ah, that's not quite the reason." Gwen smirked, shaking her head. "Most people don't believe the truth when I tell them, even with all the superpowers here. To fantastical a thought apparently."
"Umm… may I hear? I may be more open minded than some people, I've seen some things…." She trailed off as her employer began to laugh.
"Yes, yes you have. Izuku Midoriya, right? You and him both sparked my curiosity, and that Kirishima guy to an extent as well." Standing up, the pro's gaze turned much more serious. "Yaoyorouzu. Before we do anything else, I need you to tell me something important."
"Yes, ma'am?"
"What do you think of the idea of alternate dimensions?"
