19. Mentor and Student: Wolverine and Froppy

Days had passed since the Hosu incident, word had spread of Endeavor's efforts in stopping Stain and ending his villainous acts. Of course that's just the official story, to cover up the real heroes during that incident to protect them from the law for performing vigilante work. Very few knew the truth, but vowed to keep it under wraps.

The injuries that Izuku, Tenya, Shoto and Flurry were explained as being accidents that occurred during their internships, no connection to the fight against Stain. Tenya had gone back home to his parents so they could take care of his injuries, they along with Pinkie Pie and Deadpool agreed that he was too hurt to continue his internship and it was better for him to rest right now.

Shoto had gone back to Endeavor's Agency, still wanting to learn what he can from his father, and to see if his father is ashamed to know that he was credited for something his son actually did. Flurry also went back to train with Gohan and Videl once she was healed up, the two vowing to watch over her like a hawk, especially if to avoid Twilight's wrath.

Izuku was happy his friends seemed happy, of course he still had to stay in the hospital a bit longer, but he was fine with that. He looked out the window all across the horizon, "Wonder how everyone else is doing right now?"

Elsewhere Best Jeanist and Mayday were walking together on patrol, Mayday still wearing her jeans. She didn't mind too much, they looked quite well on her in the young girl's opinion.

"Spider-Girl, question," Best Jeanist said, getting her attention. "While pros go on patrol to deter villains from committing crimes, what is the secondary purpose?"

"Uh...to help others with normal things?" Mayday asked. "My dad said when he started out he would help old ladies cross the street."

"Close, it does have to do with civilians though," Best Jeanist said. At that point many girls were seen calling out to him, praising him for his heroic efforts. "It's to remind people who we are, it builds a trust between the protectors and the protected. Your father calls himself the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man for good reason, because he gives off a neighborly vibe, he's earned the trust of the citizens in Queens."

"Sounds about right," Mayday said.

"Hey I saw that girl on tv once!" a little kid shouted.

"Must be a Sports Festival fan, probably want my autograph," Mayday grinned in satisfaction, ready to find a pen and paper. "Alright kids-"

"An ooze villain caught her and she almost cried like a baby!" the boy said.

Five seconds later the boy and his friends were tangled up in webbing, Mayday still huffing from the experience, "Little brats, next time think before you piss off someone stronger than you!"

Best Jeanist groaned in annoyance, "Do you honestly believe that was the best course of action!? A hero doesn't just act on emotion when dealt a few petty insults!"

"Hey a hero needs to assert themselves don't they? I mean I've seen the crap my dad goes through and I figured why not stand up for yourself once in a while," Mayday said.

Best Jeanist scratched his head in confusion, "I'm amazed at this girl's reflexes, by the time I realized what she was doing she had already done it. This talent would make for a great hero, but she needs to channel that ego of hers, maybe I should consult with her father, bratty as she is, she does have a soft spot for him, which obviously makes sense, but he has his own intern to worry about. Hopefully I can keep trying on my own, but this might be trickier than I thought."

Back with Gunhead, he was preparing his next lesson. "Alright, time to show you how to combat someone who's using a blade. Wild Thing, attack me with your claws."

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Rina asked. "I don't want to risk hurting you."

"I'll be fine, have trust in your teacher," Gunhead said.

"Alright, here I come!" Rina rushed in, attacking with her claws, with Gunhead effortlessly dodging. She held back a bit, not really wanting to hurt him but still put in enough force to help him with his example.

"Try to keep your distance when someone's attacking, if they lunge, pivot your left foot and dodge," Gunhead said, side stepping an attack. "Then grab their wrist and back to take them down." He had planted Rina on the ground. "See, easy right? If they had a blade or any weapon, twist their wrist to make them drop their weapon and kick it away. Easy right?"

"Yeah, not bad," Rina said, getting off the ground. "This guy's the real deal, he might act all cute-like but if there's anything I learned from my mom, cute does not always mean weak. This guy's a total badass."

"You're a strong girl, you progress really well in aggression, once we tweak up your defensive skills, you might just be unstoppable," Gunhead said.

"Appreciate it," Rina said.

Gunhead brought out a fake rubber knife, "Alright this time I'll go on the offense, we'll keep on repeating until it's second nature. Though if you're anything like your father, you'll pick this up quickly."

"Yes sir!" Rina said, ready to continue training.

Off at Capsule Corp, Kirishima and Tetsutetsu were engaged in battle, but this battle was unlike others. Instead of sparring with Vegeta, the two were fighting against monsters.

"How is this possible!? How are they real!? I thought these were holograms!" Tetsutetsu shouted, fighting away an ax-wielding ox.

"It's probably just his quirk, or is it a machine that's doing this!?" Kirishima asked, fighting away a raider of sorts.

At the center of it all, Seto Kaiba was laughing somewhat deviously, "You two are better than I thought you'd be. Congratulations, now you both can really go all out!" Kaiba brought out his prized card, "Let's see how you two peons do against my legendary card! Now go! Blue Eyes White Dragon!"

Emerging next was a huge dragon twice the size of the two boys, startling them both quite a lot.

"Holy crap that's a huge dragon!" Kirishima shouted.

Vegeta scoffed from the sidelines, "If that scares him then he'll break down at the sight of Shenron."

Bulma was also observing from the sidelines, somewhat worried. "Is this alright? They won't get killed will they? I am technically responsible for them."

"They'll live, if they fight hard enough," Vegeta said.

"I'm being serious Vegeta!" Bulma warned. "These are young teenage boys, I don't want them in too much danger."

"They're training to be pro heroes, you really think villains out there will take it easy because of their age?" Vegeta asked. "When I was their age I was at the mercy of Frieza, this should be a piece of cake compared to what I went through."

"Yeah Seto's freaky dragon is anything but a 'Piece of Cake'," Bulma said. "Just make sure they don't get hurt Vegeta!"

"Don't worry, if things get bad I'll step in, but Kaiba's got this under control," Vegeta said.

The two boys were desperately trying to avoid the Dragon's attack while Kaiba laughed triumphantly. "Come on, aren't you two suppose to be UA students? The school's gone down in quality since I graduated, and I wasn't even in the Hero Course."

"I'll show you!" Kirishima said, hardening up his body. "Bring it on"

Tetsutetsu also hardened up, "We'll show you what we can do!"

The two boys rushed in, going all out in fighting the dragon, something Vegeta found somewhat concerning. "Steel! Red Riot! You have to pace yourselves! Don't just rush in and attack! Be weary of your limitations!"

"Come to think of it, they did something like this at the Sports Festival right?" Bulma asked.

"Yeah, they're too battle eager," Vegeta said. "I can respect that determination but it would be foolish to wear yourself out too fast, that's why Red Riot lost to that Bakugo boy, that and his over reliance on his quirk. He's got a heart of a warrior, but he needs brains too, something even Kakarot was able to figure out, mostly at least."

Seto rubbed his chin as he saw the boys do battle, "Hero fights aren't too different than duels, it's all about strategy and not just raw power, but they're not doing bad for beginners, UA is training them pretty well in regards to battle prowess, and Vegeta's helping them channel that, once they work on their smarts then they could be a formidable force in the hero world."

Others were doing their own thing, Momo and Kendo still with Uwabambi, the hero surrounded by fans of hers, and absorbing the spotlight, much to the disappointment of the girls.

"Some hero life," Kendo commented.

"Well it can't be helped right? All heroes are popular in their own way after all," Momo said, Kendo again feeling sympathy for the poor deluded girl.

Ochako and Peter were continuing their martial arts training, Ochako getting the hang of things, understanding Peter's fighting style a bit better.

"It's all about getting your opponent to slip up," Peter reminded, shuffling his feet. "Always keep them guessing."

"Then, wham!" Ochako threw a kick that hit Peter on the side. "Take the win!" She threw another punch to his jaw, nailing him.

Thankfully Peter rolled with the punches, not wanting this girl to break her hand on his jaw, but he was pleased with her progress. "Great work, let's keep going!"

Elsewhere at the cottage near the lake, Tsuyu was doing some laps around the pond, getting in her warm-up for her daily training session with Logan. The pro was keeping an eye on her progress, over the last couple of days she had shown some great improvement, really proud of her work.

As he sat on a rock, keeping tabs of her, Fluttershy had come out as well, "Another full day planned dear?"

"Something like that," Logan said.

Fluttershy turned her attention to Tsuyu, "She looks so natural in the water, but she is a frog so I suppose that makes sense. How has her training gone so far?"

"She's doing fine, the last few days I've been teaching her some combat, and I've been helping her work on her stealth, turns out that girl can turn completely invisible," Logan said. "I've been helping her come up with ways to use that in the field."

"You've gone on patrol with her right? How has she handled that?" Fluttershy asked.

"She's a natural, fer starters, she's really calm under pressure, and she's very good at following orders," Logan said. "She's also very quick, really great agility, plus her style reminds me a bit of Peter, given that she's always crouched over and she's able to stick to walls. I feel like he would be a better teacher in utilizing those assets."

"Thinking about it, I was very surprised, when you two along with Johnny were discussing who to train, you seemed set on Kastuki Bakugo at first," Fluttershy said.

"Yeah, I wanted straighten out his crappy attitude, but Johnny insisted he should try it first, he believed he could get through to the boy," Logan said. "So he got Mr. Explosion while Peter got that gravity girl and I got Tsu."

"Makes me wonder how things would have been if you went with your original picks, would you have been able to handle a week with Katsuki Bakugo?" Fluttershy asked.

"Honestly, I don't know, I don't even know if Johnny's able to handle it, probably wishes he settled with the gravity girl while Peter trained Tsu," Logan said. "But it's fine, I enjoy training Tsu, she's one of my better students that's fer sure."

"Well at least Tsu didn't end up in Hosu," Fluttershy said. "All those monsters, and that assassin. I mean at least Endeavor put a stop to him."

"Right, Endeavor," Logan said, knowing the full truth. Unlike Johnny, Logan didn't tell Fluttershy or Tsuyu, wanting to help keep this under wraps. "Still, this might sound harsh to say, but Ochako Uraraka going to Hosu and encountering Stain along with those Nomu creatures was probably a good thing fer her too."

"How could that be a good thing?" Fluttershy asked. "That sounds frightening."

"If yer gonna train to be a hero, you need to be in situations like that, experience is the best form of training," Logan said. "I can train her all I want but in the end she won't grow because no matter how rough our training sessions get, it won't compare to what's out there. That girl and those other students that were there, including Flurry Heart, they all got experience from that, and that's something that can be put to good use. Now from what I've been told, Tsu has experience with villains, they did break into UA and she helped fight them off and survived long enough fer All Might to show up. It's harsh but it's the sound truth, that's why the X-Men have the Danger Room, and even then you can control the danger or even turn it off, actual battles aren't that simple."

"So, you think she needs to go out there and fight a villain?" Fluttershy asked.

"In a way, yes," Logan said. "I'm not gonna just throw her out there to fend fer herself though, but if I find something that I think she can handle, then yeah I'm gonna go in and make sure she gets training worth her time."

Tsuyu made her way out of the water, walking toward Logan, "Ribbit, all done sir, what do you have planned today?"

"We're going on patrol," Logan said getting of the rock he was sitting on. "We're gonna comb through the downtown area, make sure things are in line."

"Yes sir," Tsuyu said.

"Fluttershy we'll be back in a few hours," Logan said.

"Sure thing, be careful out there," Fluttershy said.

"We'll be fine, right kid?" Logan asked.

"Ribbit," Tsuyu nodded.

The two made their way into the city as Fluttershy looked on, after the Hosu incident, she started feeling a bit more nervous than usual about these patrols. Granted she should believe in her husband a bit more than that, given that's he's been through so much worse, as a wife she can't help but worry, especially when he's bringing such a nice young girl with him.

Speaking of which, she began to wonder about her daughter, hoping she's fine wherever she is. Hopefully the Hosu Incident was a one time deal for this week, and perhaps more heroes will be on alert and make sure that won't happen again.

At the villain bar, Shigaraki was sitting and taking a sip out of a drink, trying to think of ways he could further his dastardly plans. His original Nomu that was made to kill All Might was contained, the ones at Hosu was either captured or had been killed, and Stain proved to be of no real use to him, yet he still took all the glory from that night, completely overshadowing everything the villain did.

"When the hell are those other Nomu gonna be done?" Shigaraki asked.

"I advise patience, the greatest feats take time after all," Kurogiri reminded as he cleaned a dish. "You remember the story of the Android Cell correct?"

"What about him? He was a failure, couldn't even stop a little boy and some friends of his," Shigraki said.

"He did hold his own against heroes like Spider-Man and All Might, defeating him took a lot of effort," Kurogiri said. "But he took many years to develop, so far some of our best Nomu haven't had nearly as much needed development time, and they're getting closer and closer to the vision Doctor Gero had."

"Whatever happened to that guy anyway? Didn't he die with the rest of his stupid army?" Shigaraki asked.

"I do not know the details, but I do believe his death was connected with that Son Goku fellow," Shigaraki said.

"Goku, just hearing about guys like him and Superman really piss me off," Shigaraki began scratching himself. "Bad enough we have heroes on our own planet to worry about, then guys from other planets show up thinking they can do whatever the hell they want! What was Superman doing in Hosu anyway? Isn't All Might enough for this damn country?" Shigaraki scratched harder. "And Spider-Man's swinging around somewhere like this is New York! Oh sure just dump all the heroes into this particular part of the Earth, make my life harder with more of these bastards thwarting my plans!" Shigaraki started to bleed a bit. "I want them dead! You hear me!? I want them all dead! I want them out of my way!"

"Tomura Shigaraki, please calm yourself!" Kurogiri begged, getting Shigaraki to ease up on the scratching. "I know this is a point of frustration for you, certain things have indeed escaped our awareness, but all these events just offer new opportunities for us, opportunities that I am very confident you will take pleasure in."

"Like what?" Shigaraki asked.

"Heroes have their share of fans, but they also have their opposition," Kurogiri said. "If you find yourself as an enemy of Spider-Man, then seek out the enemies he's made. The enemy of your enemy is your friend."

"Are you suggesting I go all the way to New York to find Spider-Man's enemies or something? What do you want me to re-create The Sinister Six?" Shigaraki asked.

"Not exactly, but at the very least you won't have to worry about going to them," Kurogiri said. "For they shall come to you."

Shigaraki was still a bit confused, then heard a knock on the door. "Who could that be?"

"Your master sent for some reinforcements," Kurogiri said as he opened the door. Stepping through were four individuals, a man with a spikey fiery yellow hairstyle, a blond hair woman, a brown haired man with a goatee and a amphibious like being, the latter reminding Shigaraki of Tsuyu very briefly. "Tormura Shigaraki, I'd like you to meet four of our potential new recruits. You may introduce yourselves."

"Gladly mate," the blond hair man said. "Hiya, name's John Allerdyce, folks know me as Pyro."

The woman stepped beside him, "I'm his better half, Tabitha Smith, or Boom-Boom as my enemies know me."

Next came the man with brown hair, "I'm Dominikos Petrakis, but you can call me Avalanche."

"Mortimer Toynbee," the amphibious one said. "But I prefer Toad."

"It's not very often they refer to themselves by their birth name, quite the honor we have," Kurogiri said.

Shigaraki barely looked impressed, but couldn't help but feel like he's seen them before, "You don't seem to be from around here, who exactly are these four?"

"They are former members of The Brotherhood of Mutants," Kurogiri explained. "They used to follow Magneto before his eventual retirement."

"Magneto? Master's old friend?" Shigaraki asked.

"Yes, sometime after our failed mission at the USJ, and the untimely arrival of Spider-Man, your Master thought it best to recruit from overseas," Kurogiri said. "Given his close ties with Magneto, he had reached out and found these four Brotherhood members who as of now, have no real direction."

"The boss retiring was a total bummer," Pyro said. "We tried striking out on our own but one failure led to another."

"He got too contempt in his later years, completely gave up on his original goal," Boom said. "We want to show everyone that quirks rule the world, and remind everyone why ours are among the best!"

"So you want to use my organization for some type of self promotion or something?" Shigaraki asked. "I don't have time for that, all of you can take a hike yourselves if that's your only goal."

"Hey easy there, we respect your wishes too," Pyro said. "You want to prove the Hero Society is a fraud, so do we. Heroes aren't that great, they go around using their quirks willy nilly, because they're 'licensed' to."

"It's the world's way of controlling people like us, the people on top are still afraid of what we can do," Boom said. "We tried telling the boss that but he just turned us away, after all those years of loyalty!"

"We want to not only finish what he started, but improve on it," Avalanche said.

"Plus you'll need our help against someone like Spider-Man, not only him, The Human Torch is in town as well, along with Wolverine," Pyro said. "You'll definitely need us to keep that beast neutralized."

"Same goes for their irritating wives," Boom said. "That stupid Rainbow Dash girl really ticks me off."

"So what do you say, wanna take us in?" Toad asked.

Shigaraki still didn't loo too convinced, but they at least had some drive, "If you want in, you're gonna have to prove yourselves to me, show me your worth."

"Not the answer I was expecting given our veteran status," Pyro said.

"I need someone who can follow orders, plus I want to see first hand what you can do, make sure you haven't lost a step," Shigaraki said.

Pyro turned to the others, each one giving their approval for the idea, he then turned back to Shigaraki, "What do you want us to do?"

"Go out and raise hell, I want to outdo that Hosu incident and I want it down now," Shigaraki said. "Make everyone forget about Stain and bring attention to our cause!"

"So, just go wreak havoc, is that it?" Pyro asked.

"What are you hard of hearing? Go out there and reign destruction, if you do a good enough job, I'll consider letting you stay on board!" Shigaraki declared.

"Eh, I mean it seems easy enough," Avalanche said. "Plus we get to watch people run around screaming, that's always entertaining."

"Well then, you got yourself a deal mate," Pyro said. "Let's go raise some hell gang."

"Allow me to locate you to an area rich in architecture and population," Kurogiri said, creating a portal for The Brotherhood members, sending them through, leaving Shigaraki to himself.

"Those fools better prove themselves useful, especially if they even dare to take part of my vision," Shigaraki said.

Elsewhere Logan and Tsuyu are on patrol through the busy streets, the young hero sticking close to her mentor. Truthfully she was a bit put off by him at times, while not totally unfriendly he wasn't exactly a sociable person. Tsuyu liked to talk when she could but times like these when she doesn't know what to say have always been the worse for her.

"Hey kid," Logan said, snapping Tsuyu out of her thoughts. "You look tense, everything alright?"

"Uh, yeah I'm fine, ribbit," Tsuyu said.

"If yer nervous about patrol, try not to be, this place is pretty tame," Logan said. "Of course you had a villain encounter already right?"

"Yeah, during my first week of school," Tsuyu said. "I thought I was gonna die, it was really scary."

"I don't blame you, a kid like you shouldn't be endangered like that," Logan said. "You made it through it alive at least."

"Thanks to my classmates, I remember I was stuck somewhere with Flurry Heart and our friend Izuku Midoriya," Tsuyu said.

"Izuku Midoriya...the boy with the green hair right?" Logan asked. "Nice kid, met him at the Sports Festival, looks really nervous though."

"Yeah he's not very good at socializing, he tripped over his words a lot," Tsuyu said. "But when it comes to hero work, he's actually pretty serious. He's the one who came up with a plan to capture a bunch of villains and escape to safety, he even rushed in to help All Might, even though he broke his legs from using his quirk."

"Oh right, his quirk is self destructive," Logan remembered how bad his arms and legs were at the Sports Festival.

"I was scared for him, especially since those villains almost got him," Tsuyu said. "Thankfully Spider-Man showed up when he did."

"Yeah, Peter's always been good at showing up when people need him, most of the time," Logan said.

"Most? Has he ever been too late?" Tsuyu asked.

"Every hero has been late at least once, even Superman hasn't always arrived in time," Logan said. "Sometimes bad things happen, sometimes the villains destroy and take away, which is why we work harder to make sure it doesn't happen again. But if it does, we work to ensure justice. It's like that slogan The Avengers have, 'If we can't save them, we'll Avenge them'." Logan shook his head, "Honestly, not too fond of that saying, doesn't instill a lot of confidence."

"That's deep," Tsuyu looked around the city, keeping an eye out for any trouble, though still had those worries on her mind. "How does a hero bounce back from something like that though?"

"It's difficult, but one lesson a hero must learn is that you can't save everyone," Logan said. "The problem is no hero wants to accept that, because they want to save people. It's understandable, we become heroes to help others, if people die then it feels like we aren't doing our jobs. Some heroes take it harder than others, I know Peter does, if someone dies before he can save them, he'll beat himself up about it for days about it, maybe even weeks."

"Have you ever been too late?" Tsuyu asked. She almost regretted asking that when she noticed Logan stop, angrily clenching his hands a look of shame appeared on his face. "Never mind, sorry I asked, I guess that's a touchy topic."

"It's fine, only natural you'd be curious," Logan said. "I haven't always been able to save everyone either, it's not the most pleasant feeling in the world. It took me years to get over a few, some I'm still not over. But it only pushes me to become stronger, so that I don't have to worry about it happening again, . I mean, sometimes it's unavoidable but I'd rather save more than I lose, than be able to not save anyone at all."

Tsuyu felt pity for Logan, she could tell he had a lot on his mind, wondering if the people he couldn't save were in fact friends or family members he had. She wouldn't press on about it, she doesn't want to dig up painful memories for him. "Well I think you're really strong."

"You don't have to make me feel better kid, but I appreciate the gesture," Logan said. "So, what's yer home life like? You got siblings right?"

"Yeah, a ten year old brother and a six year old sister," Tsuyu said. "I usually help take care of them since my parents are always working."

"That's nice, what's it like?" Logan asked. Before Tsuyu could answer, an explosion occurred nearby, surprising the hero and mentor duo. "What the hell!?"

"That came from a few blocks down!" Tsuyu commented.

"Sounds like trouble, let's go!" Logan said, the two hurrying down the streets.

Blocks down The Brotherhood had gotten started on their mission, to destroy and raise hell as per requested by Shigaraki. Pyro and Boom worked together to create explosions, with Boom tossing the fireballs and Pyro helping spread the fire. Avalanche used his powers to cause a few mini Earthquakes and knocked down a bunch of buildings. Toad leapt around, using his tongue to wrap around some loose debris and tossed it through some windows.

"Easy job so far," Pyro commented as he set fire to a store. "How are the rest of you doing?"

Boom tossed some explosives into a laundromat, seemingly enjoying herself. "This is so awesome!"

Avalanche totaled a clothing store with his shockwaves, "How much more do we gotta do?"

"Who cares?" Toad said, tossing some stones into a few buildings. "This is fun, nice to have a new place to trash, keeps things fresh!"

"Got that right mate!" Pyro said. "Nothing like a little chaos to feel right at home!"

Logan and Tsuyu had finally arrived and saw all the damage being done, all the burning buildings, destroyed cars, broken hydrants and fleeing people.

"What's happening here!?" Tsuyu asked.

Logan took a look around to find whoever was causing this, that's when he spotted the Brotherhood members. "What the hell are they doing here!?"

Avalanche had spotted Logan, his eyes widening in the surprise, "Pyro! Toad! Boom! We got a problem!"

"What did a pro show up?" Pyro asked, not taking his eyes off the car he was burning.

"Worse! It's Wolverine!" Avalanche called.

"Alright, well we'll just...wait, Wolverine!?" Pyro turned to the direction of the X-Men veteran. "The Didn't expect to see him so soon!"

"Shit, what do we do now!?" Boom asked, finally gazing her sights on Logan.

Toad had noticed that Logan wasn't alone, seeing Tsuyu right beside the hero, "He's got a friend."

Tsuyu was confused by all this, but from what she could gather, it seems like they knew the hero she was entering with. "Hey Logan, who are they?"

"Members of The Brotherhood," Logan explained. "Pyro, Avalanche, Toad and Boom-Boom."

"The Brotherhood?" Tsuyu asked. "I think I've heard of them, but who exactly are they?"

"Followers of Magneto, they believed in the supremacy of being a quirk user," Logan said. "Back when the ratio between people with quirks and people without quirks was more or less even, many took a stand to prove that quirk were the natural evolution, and anyone without a quirk should be terminated and ridden with. Magneto was the leader of all that and has led followers for many decades, including these four right here."

"Right you are Logan," Avalanche said, making his way over. "Unfortunately the old man got too contempt with the way things were now, so we ditched him."

"What are you doing in Japan?" Logan asked. "Sure as hell ain't to see the sights."

"We got a new job offer, this is part of our interview process," Pyro said, manipulating his fire. "And I say it's going well!"

Fire Villain Pyro, his quirk, Fire Manipulation. While unable to make his own fire he can psionically control fire around him, as long as he's in a decent radius.

"We're hitting town with a bang and we're gonna blow our potential employers away just like the poor saps who crossed us," Boom said, generating some explosion balls.

Explosion Villain Boom-Boom, her quirk, Fire Pop. She can create balls of energy that explode with destructive force.

"Best stand out of our way, it may be a new town but we're still the same capable team you've known for years!" Avalanche said, readying some quakes.

Seismic Villain Avalanche, his quirk, Earthquake. He can create vibrations in the ground, causing deviating destruction of the land around him.

"We won't let or your little sidekick stop us!" Toad said, leaping in and readying for battle.

Amphibious Villain Toad, his quirk, self-named. His abilities allow him to leap high places and use his tongue as a whip, very similar to an actual toad.

"That guy..." Tsuyu said, taking note of Toad. "Is he...like me?"

"You mean Toad?" Logan asked. "Well, yer quirks are similar, but you two aren't alike, you don't hurt innocent people."

"Still, it's a bit weird for me, I normally don't see other people with quirks like mine, outside of my family," Tsuyu said.

"There are many people with similar quirks," Logan said, unsheathing his claws. "What matters the most is how you use it!"

Avalanche quickly tried to attack, creating a shockwave that sent some stalagmites up, both Logan and Tsuyu leaping off them, though it did leave them open for an attack from Boom.

"Take this!" Boom sent out her explosives, Logan was able to block them but Tsuyu wasn't as quick, the frog girl taking a hit from the attack.

"Tsu!" Logan rushed in to grab her out the way before Pyro could follow up Boom's attack with a fire blast. Toad jumped at Logan but he took a punch to the jaw for his efforts. "Hey, you alright kid!?"

Tsuyu shook off the attack, "I'm fine."

"That was only a warm up!" Boom said, generating more power. "This one's gonna pack some muscle!"

The blonde mutant tossed her energy balls at the two, but they were quick to dodge out the way again. Logan rushed to attack but Avalanche had shook the ground beneath his feet, giving Pyro an opening to blast him back with his fire.

"Gonna take you down old man!" Pyro was about to attack again but Tsuyu leapt in and used her tongue to wrap around the fire mutant. "Hey! What is this!"

Tsuyu flung Pyro into the side of a food truck, then went for the others. Toad jumped in and kicked Tsuyu aside, knocking her into a street pole.

"I'd rather not have to fight a fellow Amphibian," Toad said.

Tsuyu shook off the pain, "You shouldn't have become a villain then."

"Such a waste," Toad said, rushing in to attack, though Tsuyu leapt aside, trying to use her tongue to whack Toad. He easily saw it coming and attacked with his own tongue, Tsuyu quick to dodge.

This distraction however allowed Avalanche to attack Tsuyu with a stalagmite he popped from the ground, knocking the frog girl into the air. Boom tried to knock her out the air with some more explosions but the frog girl had quickly used her tongue to pull herself to safety, but this left her open for a kick from Toad.

"You're good, but I'm better!" Toad rushed to attack again but Wolverine and ran and tackled Toad down. Logan turned to Pyro, ready to attack but he took an energy blast from Boom right into a building.

"Time for a crushing defeat!" Avalanche caused another Earthquake, knocking the building's foundations and trying to crush Logan with the debris, but the veteran hero had escaped just in time.

Tsuyu launched in to kick Avalanche in the chest, "I got you Wolverine!" She extended her tongue to help save him but Boom snuck in and kicked her from behind. Pyro took the moment to blast her with fire, knocking her against a car. Avalanche then used his powers to knock Tsuyu into the air as Toad leapt into the air and kicked her down.

"Froppy!" Logan rushed to help her but Pyro create a wall of fire to separate him from his intern. "Think that's gonna stop me!" He walked through with his claws ready to strike. His skin was burnt but he didn't care, he had to rescue his intern.

"Boom! Load me up!" Pyro called out. Boom tossed him some energy that he quickly used to fire at Logan.

"That all you got!" Logan powered through, to the shock and surprise of Pyro.

"Keep'em coming!" Pyro sent more at Logan, trying to knock him back as the hero rushed to rescue his intern.

Tsuyu started to stand up, hoping to brush off the damage. She stuck out her tongue to grab Boom by her wrist, disgusting the girl.

"Ew! Get the hell off! Boom quickly charged some energy and blasted Tsuyu back against the wall of a building.

"Froppy!" Logan rushed to help her but this time it was Avalanche who made things hard by destroying the ground beneath him, nearly causing him to fall into a hole. "Dammit! Hold on kid!"

Tsuyu used the wall to help herself up, whoever this group was, they were pretty tough. they seem to know Logan, and it also seems like they've been at this for a while, she's dealing with experienced villains here, way more knowledgeable than the ones at the USJ.

"Giving up?" She heard a voice say. She turned to see Toad.

"Not likely!" Tsuyu said, running in for a punch, which Toad effortlessly blocked. She tried her other hand but he blocked that too and delivered a head butt to knock her back.

"You're such a fool, someone like you shouldn't try to be a hero," Toad stomped on her chest. "Freaks like us don't last in society anyway."

"I'm not a freak!" Tsuyu shouted, trying to attack with her tongue, to which Toad dodged and stomped again.

"Oh, you really believe that? So naïve," Toad turned his foot. "That mindset will just result in pain."

Tsuyu twisted his leg off, tripping Toad to the ground, "That isn't true! Not all people are like that!"

"Funny, I told myself that when I was your age," Toad said, turning to kick Tsuyu down. "I told myself I was normal, that everyone had something unique about them, that I had nothing to feel ashamed of. People are cruel however, even in a society where quirks are the norm, they'll find something to judge you about."

"Is that why you're a villain? Did you give up hope!?" Tsuyu asked.

"I embraced reality, so I decided if people wanted to treat me like a monster, I might as well be one, at least now I'm free to do whatever I want while I make society reap what they sew," Toad said.

"Well that makes us different!" Tsuyu rushed in to do a double kick to Toad, "I would never be so easily converted to evil!"

Toad maneuvered so he could cartwheel back onto his feet and kick Tsuyu again, knocking her toward the hole Logan was fighting out of. "You'll understand, once the loneliness kicks in, if it hasn't started to already."

"Loneliness?" Tsuyu asked. Suddenly she was reminded of her childhood, she didn't have that many friends thinking about it, but that doesn't make her the same as Toad, at least she hopes it doesn't.

"Tell me, how many friends do you have? Do you even have any?" Toad asked. "Were kids kind to you despite your freakish appearance?"

"Kids..." Tsuyu again remembered the loneliness of her younger days. "I wasn't...I mean."

"What a shame, you could have so much more than you have now," Toad offered his hand. "Let me take you under my wing, I can mold you into something great."

Tsuyu looked to his hand, if only for a brief moment did she consider his words, of course she knew this wasn't right. "I...I don't know..."

Suddenly she got blasted again by Boom, the frog girl sent flying. Toad seemed a bit annoyed as he turned to his ally, "Hey, I was trying to make a deal!"

"With her? Come on, she's useless!" Boom said. "You're wasting your time."

"I think I'd like to be the judge of-" Toad was interrupted by a punch from Logan.

"Froppy," Logan turned to the frog girl and rushed to grab her.

"You're not going anywhere!" Boom sent some blasts, Pyro assisting with the aim but Logan was too quick. He quickly grabbed the frog girl and began to make a run for it. While he could take the Brotherhood on his own, Tsuyu being around did create a liability, he had to get her somewhere safe first.

"Take him out!" Avalanche shouted, making an Earthquake in an attempt to stop Logan. Fortunately he was able to put some distance between himself and The Brotherhood, finally escaping for the moment. "Crap, he got away!"

"Thought we had him that time, would have really helped our cause, plus getting rid of an enemy is a nice bonus," Pyro said.

"Toad, come help me find Logan. Pyro, you and Dom here can keep raising hell, maybe that'll lure him out as well," Boom said.

"Fine by me, let's destroy this dump!" Pyro exclaimed, sending out more fire while Avalanche caused a few quakes.

Not too far away, Logan had stopped near a dumpster behind an ally, gently letting Tsuyu to the floor. "Tsu, you alright kid?"

"Huh? Tsuyu started to stir a bit. "What happened?"

"Good, yer alright," Logan said. "Listen, I gotta take those Brotherhood creeps down, you stay here where it's safe."

"Huh? Wait I'm suppose to be helping you though," Tsuyu said.

"They're too experienced fer you to handle, I'd rather you stay here where you won't be a in danger," Logan said. "There will be other chances fer you, but yer still a kid, asking you to help would be too much."

"Are you sure it's alright?" Tsuyu asked.

"You gotta know yer limits," Logan said. "Don't feel ashamed about sitting out."

"But Wolverine..." Tsuyu tried protesting.

"Stay here, and don't move," Logan ordered. He then left, ready to make his way back to The Brotherhood. It did bother him that they were in Japan, no way they came on their own, someone set this up. If they could get The Brotherhood, he has to wonder who else they can get, if they haven't already.

Tsuyu just sat against the wall, feeling a bit weak. She wanted to be of help but she felt quickly overwhelmed by these new villains. Plus that one villain got to her, whether she wanted to admit it or not, he did bring up bad memories of her past. Growing up she didn't have too many friends because of her appearance and verbal tick. She wasn't as pretty as the other girls and she could never really talk to anyone.

Truth be told, she could have easily just ended up like him, the thought did worry her. But she shouldn't have to worry about that, she has friends now after all. She has Izuku, she has Flurry, she has all the others girls, aside possibly from Mayday, that girl is a bit hard for her to read. She should be fine, or at least she hoped.

"Am I really that strange?" Tsuyu wondered.

Back in the town, The Brotherhood were continuing their destruction, mostly Pyro and Avalanche as they were the only ones left. Logan had made his way over, his claws out, ready for more. "HEY!"

"Well look who's back," Pyro taunted, turning his attention to Logan. "Ready for another round old man?"

Logan angrily dashed at the two, to which Avalanche stepped in, readying another quake, "This should put an end to ya!"

Before he could attack, he was suddenly ambushed with a massive punch that knocked him into a nearby building. Pyro turned his attention to whoever just showed up, looking quite irritated. "Who the hell are you!?"

"Name's Death Arms," the pro said. "And you're done destroying this town!"

"I don't think so!" Pyro was about to attack but Jiro arrived and used her Earphones to hook up to her amp.

"Take this!" Jiro blasted the sound from her amp and knocked Pyro back before he could send out his flames.

"Great work Earphone Jack," Death Arms said, then turned his attention to Logan. "The Legendary Wolverine, it's an honor to meet you."

"Yeah, thanks fer coming," Logan said. "You got a sidekick?"

"For this week," Death Arms answered "This is Earphone Jack, she's an intern from UA High."

"Oh right, think I saw you at The Sports Festival," Logan said. "Yer not in my daughter's class though."

"I'm from Class 1-A," Jiro said. "But I have met your daughter, she's quite expressive."

"Yeah, she is," Logan said, then noticed that Avalanche and Pyro were standing back up, looking ready for a showdown.

"Great, another Pro is here," Avalanche said. "With his own little runt."

"Don't matter, we'll take them both down!" Pyro said, readying his fire.

"Who are these guys?" Death Arms asked. "Something tells me they're not from around here."

"They're not, they're from my neck of the woods," Logan said. "Well one of them is, that guy with the metal helmet is Avalanche, the fire guy is Pyro, they're members of Magneto's Brotherhood."

"Magneto!?" Death Arms shouted in surprise. "I heard of him, big time villain back in the day right?"

"You guessed it, of course the old man's retired but his goons are still out and about," Logan explained, then looked around. "But there only seems to be two of them here, the other two must be around somewhere."

"If you're trying to find Boom and Toad, they went looking for you and that little sheila!" Pyro called out.

"Shit, that means Froppy's in danger!" Logan said.

"Did you just say Froppy?" Jiro asked.

That reminded Logan, "Right, yer from 1-A, so you know who Tsuyu Asui is."

"Yeah, she is one of my classmates," Jiro confirmed. "Is she around?"

"She got hit pretty hard by these bastards, I left her somewhere she could be safe," Logan said. "I was hoping to leave her and come back here to finish these scumbags off, but now they're out looking fer her." Logan groaned a bit, "Probably didn't think that through well enough."

"I think you did the right thing trying to get your intern out of harm's way, if these guys really are Magneto's old followers that means they're way more experienced than most villains," Death Arms said. "Earphone Jack, you should probably stand aside yourself, this might be dangerous."

"Hey I can handle them, I fought villains at the USJ!" Jiro insisted.

"Those guys were newer to the scene, these guys aren't," Death Arms said. "Just leave this to me and Wolverine."

"Fine, but what about my classmate?" Jiro asked.

"We'll go back for her, but we gotta take these guys down quickly, do as yer pro says and stand back!" Logan ordered.

Jiro groaned in frustration, but she couldn't argue with the two pros, especially since one is her mentor for the week and the other is a well-respected hero. "Alright, I'll leave it to you." She began running off, keeping an eye, or rather, ear out. "Gotta find Tsu, make sure she's safe."

Death Arms slammed his fists together, "So how do you wanna do this?"

"Do whatever you want, just watch out for rocks and fire," Logan said. "Also pro tip, while that guy looks like he's shooting fire, he's actually just manipulating it, remove his fire source and he's harmless."

"I resent that, I got more than fire mate!" Pyro shouted, sending a blast at the two, which they immediately dodged. Avalanche went to attack, focusing first on Death Arms, figuring he could over take a newer hero.

Unfortunately Death Arms isn't as naïve as Avalanche thought, just when some rocks were sent hi way, Death Arms powered through, getting closer with each punch, taking out all the projectiles until he was right before Avalanche.

Thinking quickly, the Brotherhood Mutant had dodged out the way before Death Arms could land a punch and he sent a huge chunk of rock to knock him back.

"That all you got!?" Death Arms went to attack again but this time Pyro rushed in and tried to burn the hero.

"Back off!" Logan rushed over to attack, going straight for Pyro's fuel supply.

"You back off!" Pyro kicked Logan back and was about to blast him with fire, but Death Arms had grabbed him by his head.

"Someone's gotta teach you some-" Death Arms was then rammed from the side by Avalanche's stalagmite.

"Took your eyes off me!" Avalanche went to attack again but Logan had jumped over head and landed a kick on the rock user's head, giving Death Arms the chance to get an incoming Pyro with a punch.

"Keep it up and we'll take them down!" Logan ordered, the two going in to attack again.

As the two heroes clashed with the Brotherhood Mutants, Jiro continued her search for Tsuyu, using her earphones to figure out the Frog Girl's location.

"Tsu! Are you around here!?" Jiro continued to search for her classmate, hoping to coordinate a team attack with her to help Logan and Death Arms.

As she walked, looking for her friend, Boom had appeared behind a nearby wall, grinning sinisterly at her next target, "Shouldn't wander too far off little girl."

Just before she could attack, Tsuyu showed up from behind, kicking Boom to the ground. "Don't hurt my friend!"

Boom immediately turned around, readying some energy balls, "Little brat!" She threw her energy balls at Tsuyu, the frog girl's agility coming into play as she leapt off walls to avoid the blasts. Boom was about to throw more but this time Jiro had attacked with her sound amp blast.

"Great hit," Tsuyu said, jumping toward her classmate. "I'm a little surprised to see you here but I'm glad you are."

"My pro and Wolverine sent me to find you, seems like these villains have your pro really worked up," Jiro said.

"They're old enemies of the X-Men, and they used to work with Magneto," Tsuyu explained.

"Think I heard of him, big time villain back in the States," Jiro said.

"Big time indeed," Boom said, readying her energy. "Time to show you two brats why The Brotherhood is the real deal!"

Just as Boom sent more energy balls at the two, Tsuyu used her tongue to grab Jiro and the two leapt away onto the side of a building, dodging several blasts until they reached the rooftop.

"We gotta take her down somehow!" Jiro said, trying to plan a strategy.

"I don't know if we can fight, I think we have to stay away," Tsuyu said.

"No way! They're attacking us! We should be able to fight back!" Jiro said.

"Yeah but-" Another blast was sent at their direction, the two quickly dodging.

"No time to argue this Tsu," Jiro said, readying her amp. "Time to rock!"

Jiro sent another amp blast at Boom but the older woman side stepped, tossing some bombs the way of the young rocker girl. Tsuyu quickly pulled Jiro away, avoiding more bombs as she leapt to a rooftop adjacent to the one she was on now.

"You can't run forever!" Boom leapt over, throwing more energy bombs, Tsuyu dodging until she found an opening.

"Now's your chance Jiro!" Tsuyu called, allowing Jiro the chance to blast Boom off the rooftop, seemingly knocked off.

"Think we got her!?" Jiro asked.

"I think so, we should check just in case though," Tsuyu said. "Carefully though."

The two slowly walked over to the edge, though just as they peeked over, Boom shot up and elbowed Jiro back. She immediately turned her attention to Tsuyu, ready to blast her when a blue flash came by and knocked her through a building.

"Uh, what just happened?" Jiro asked, rubbing her chin.

Within seconds, Boom was back on the roof with the girls, knocked out and tied up with a clothesline rope. The hero in question who roughed her up placed her foot triumphantly on the villain's back, grinning in victory. "Sup?"

"Rainbow Dash?" Jiro said, surprised to see the girl. "What are you doing here?"

"Duh, beating up bad guys, kind of my job as a pro hero," Rainbow Dash answered.

"Well we're glad you're here, but there's more trouble nearby," Tsuyu explained.

"Don't worry, Johnny's on it," Rainbow Dash said, before lamenting a bit. "I just hope our intern doesn't screw up somehow."

"Huh? Who's your intern?" Jiro asked.

Back in town, while Logan clawed through some rocks Avalanche sent at him while Pyro tried blasting Death Arms.

"You won't stop me from saving this town!" Death Arms declared, trying to attack but Pyro had evaded and readied another fire blast.

"You're good mate!" Pyro blasted Death Arms back against a car. "But I'm better! It's over for you hero!" Pyro created a sword made from fire. "Say good-bye!"

Just as Pyro was about to attack, Bakugo had arrived on the scene, blasting Pyro in the face, "DIE!"

Pyro was knocked through a window leading into a café, the villain dazed from the attack, "What in the..."

Bakugo grinned in satisfaction, "That's what you get for messing around my turf!"

"Hey! Katsuki!" Johnny called, flying in. "I told you not to stray too far from me!"

"Hey I didn't go that far!" Bakugo insisted. "Besides someone had to step in before that one hero bit the dust."

"I won't argue that, but rushing in was foolish, you could have gotten killed," Johnny said. "You're a tough kid but you're not invincible."

"Torch!" Logan said, making his way over to the two. "Didn't expect to see you here."

"Dash and I happened to be training now to far from here with our recruit when we heard the destruction, so we came to see if we could help," Johnny said.

"Human Torch!" Pyro shouted, making his way over. "You have a lot of nerve showing up to a fight I'm in! You know what I can do to you!"

"Pyro's here?" Johnny said. "Looks like Avalanche is as well."

"Boom-Boom and Toad aren't too far away, they got away from my sight while Death Arms and I were trying to stop these two," Logan explained.

"Just where the hell did they even come from though?" Johnny wondered. "What are they doing in Japan?"

"Got me," Logan said. "I was gonna clonk them and ask them later."

"Let's hurry, I'm worried about my intern and the other girl," Death Arms said.

"You both got UA students under your wing?" Johnny asked.

"Yeah, I got that Frog girl, Death Arms here has a girl with long earphone jacks attached to her ear," Logan explained.

"I...don't think I know them honestly," Johnny said, then turned to Bakugo. "Hey Katsuki, you got a classmate that's a Frog right? And another one with an earphone jack attached to her ear?"

Bakugo shrugged, "I don't know."

Johnny raised his eyebrow in confusion, "You don't know your own classmates?"

"I'm not in UA to make friends," Bakugo said.

"...Don't let my wife hear you say that," Johnny said.

"Mine either," Logan replied. "Maybe I should have taken that kid in this week, he needs to learn a bit of respect."

"It's fine, I think I can handle him," Johnny reassured. "He's cocky but he's got a lot of heart, I can respect that. He's not too different from me when I was that age, he'll come around."

"Honestly, and I can't believe I'm saying this but, I think he's worse," Logan said. "But I'll trust yer judgement fer now."

"Hey! You blokes done talking!?" Pyro shouted. "Cause I'm ready to end this!"

"Hey if you're looking for a fight!" Bakugo readied his quirk. "Then I'm you're guy!"

"Cocky little wanker, ain't ya?" Pyro said, preparing his fire. "Show me what ya got kid!"

"Katsuki, be careful!" Johnny warned.

"I got this!" Bakugo launched himself at Pyro, winding himself up for a punch, though Pyro sidestepped and blasted the young boy. He quickly rolled back onto his feet, sending blasts at Pyro's direction.

The mutant was quick to dodge, immediately taking the fire caused by Bakugo's explosions on the buildings and using it to attack the young hero.

"Yo Katsuki! Don't be reckless!" Johnny instructed.

"I got this!" Bakugo shouted, dodging the fire. "I just gotta get in closer!" Bakugo launched himself again but this time Avalanche came in and whacked Katsuki up into the air.

"That kid needs help!" Death Arms said, smashing his fist together. "I'm going in!"

Death Arms ran in with Logan and Johnny following. Avalanche quickly used his powers to create a shockwave that shook them off their feet, and crumbled some nearby buildings. Johnny had avoided his powers through his flying and agility, ten blasted Avalanche with his fire. He then quickly blasted Pyro before the tricky mutant tried anything.

"Let's finish this fight up so we can get some answers," Johnny said, flying in again, ready to attack but Pyro had side stepped and tried manipulating Johnny's fire. "Not gonna make it easy for you!"

"Like you have a chance, I'm the master of fire manipulat-" Suddenly the Australian native took a punch from Logan, stunning him a moment.

"Crap, he got past me!" Avalanche went to attack again but Death Arms had punched him from behind, knocking him through a car window.

"Dom!" Pyro shook off his punch from Logan and quickly attacked with a fire whip, knocking Logan back. Johnny then tackled him to the ground, though Pyro quickly knocked him off and was ready to attack when he took a kick to the head from Bakugo.

"Forget about me!?" Bakugo taunted. Pyro quickly got up to attack but Bakugo had punched him in the stomach and hit an uppercut to the villain. "You're weak against me!"

Bakugo went for another attack but Pyro had quickly sent a fire fist at the boy, knocking him over. "Don't get cocky kid!"

"It's not cockiness if you can back it up," Bakugo taunted, quickly getting back onto his feet.

Pyro readied more fire but the enraged Bakugo tackled him into a truck, winding up and sending a punch into Pyro's gut and then winded up again and nailed Pyro in the jaw.

"Son of a..." Pyro kneed Bakugo back and was about to blast him but the boy was quick to forearm him in the gut, his grenade gauntlet packing an extra punch. Bakugo then sidestepped and blasted Pyro to the ground, the villain quickly scurrying away.

"Come on, I expected better for someone who used to work with a big time villain," Bakugo taunted. "Of course henchmen are just glorified warm-up tools for the pros, in your case it looks quite literal."

"Watch your tone kid, I've been doing big time stuff with and without Magneto!" Pyro warned, crawling back a bit. "You newbies, always think you're so much better than the last guy, well get this kid, I've seen guys like you come and go, you're no different than the other wannabe heroes who show up strong and fade into obscurity because they couldn't handle the pressure!"

"Ugh, you talk way too damn much," Bakugo said, readying his explosions. "Now die!"

Pyro quickly eyed a nearby gas canister that he was leading Bakugo near. In a quick instant, he sent some fire toward the gas, ready to take Bakugo out in an explosion.

"Katsuki!" Johnny quickly flew over to shield Bakugo from the blast, taking in the fire but the force still strong enough to knock the two over. Pyro tried to take the advantage, but in an instant, a kick from Rainbow Dash had knocked him to the ground.

"Don't even try it!" Rainbow Dash warned. She went to attack again but Pyro hit a fiery uppercut to knock Rainbow Dash up and over a nearby truck. However Johnny had enough time to recover and attacked Pyro with a Fiery Punch of his own, and one more across his jaw and ended with a jumping fire kick that knocked him against a car, the villain hitting hard against it.

"Don't mess with the true Master of Fire," Johnny boasted, then called out to the other pros. "I got him!"

"Good!" Logan called out, Johnny unable to detect where he was in the rubble. "Try to detain him, we'll be right over!"

"You got it! And you took down Avalanche right!?" Johnny asked.

"I nailed him good, he should be out!" Death Arms reassured.

"I knocked out and tied up Boom-Boom," Rainbow Dash reassured. "Is there anyone else?"

"Logan mentioned Toad being nearby as well, one we got Pyro all tied up, we'll search for him, he probably isn't too far," Johnny said. "By the way, you see two other UA girls nearby?"

"Yeah, said their names were Tsuyu and Kyoka, or Froppy and Earphone Jack as they're going by now," Rainbow Dash said, then gestured to the nearby rooftop. "I told them to wait for me there, close enough to keep an eye on, far away enough from the danger to keep them safe."

"Sounds good, let's just find Toad and-" Johnny noticed something troubling on the rooftop. "Girls! Behind you!"

"Who us?" Jiro asked, then felt herself almost getting kicked off the rooftop, holding on to the edge for safety.

"Jiro!" Tsuyu called in concern. She turned to face Toad but he had quickly knocked her off the roof, the frog girl falling but fortunately caught by Johnny.

"I got ya kid!" Johnny was then kicked by an oncoming Toad, losing his grip of the frog girl and the two falling to the ground. Johnny landed on a car while Tsuyu landed on a truck. Toad landed beside Tsuyu, trying to stomp on her, the girl rolling aside.

Meanwhile Rainbow Dash had flown to Jiro, helping the girl up, "Come on kid, upsie daisy."

Jiro made her way back onto the rooftop, "You gotta help Tsu!"

"I'm on it!" Rainbow Dash flew to tackle Toad away from Tsuyu, though the amphibious villain had kicked her off. Jiro quickly made her way down the nearby fire escape with the full intent of helping Tsuyu, Logan also making his way over, wanting to save his intern.

Suddenly there was an Earthquake, Avalanche was back on his feet and had created a quake that shook the ground, creating some holes that the other heroes fell through, save for Jiro.

"That's what you get for underestimating me!" Avalanche boasted. "Now to crush your hopes of victory!"

Jiro, acting quickly, rushed in while adjusting her amp, "Shockwave, meet Soundwave!" She blasted her amp right at Avalanche's head, knocking him face first into a minivan and finished off the job with a jumping kick to his head while against the side. She looked down the hole where all the other heroes fell, "I gotta go down there!"

Quickly she leapt into the hole, hoping to find any sign of the other heroes, or at least her fellow classmate.

"Jiro!" Tsuyu called, getting the rocker girl's attention.

Upon noticing her classmate, Jiro noticed that her leg was pinned under some rubble. "Whoa, let me help you with that."

"Thanks Kyoka," Tsuyu said, allowing the girl to lift off the rubble, though not without some difficulty. "Uh, is that too much for you? Ribbit."

"No it's fine, I got it," Jiro said, trying to lift again, but struggling.

"Lift with your legs," she head Johnny said, the hero making his way over, kneeling beside Jiro. "Basic advice, use your legs to lift things. My buddy Ben, strong as he is, uses his legs when lifting something heavy." Johnny gripped the rubble and assisted Jiro while still demonstrating proper use. "Like this."

"I got it," Jiro said, working with Johnny to lift the rubble off Tsuyu's leg.

"Thanks, I really appreciate your help, ribbit," Tsuyu said.

"Yeah thanks, I owe you and your wife," Jiro said.

"Eh, it's nothing, part of being a hero and role model," Johnny said. "Now I gotta get your girls out of here and find that creep."

"Already here," came Toad's voice, the three quickly turning around to come face to face with him. In that moment Toad had grabbed a large piece of rubble with his tongue and flung it at the girls. Thinking fast, Johnny jumped in front of them, taking the attack head on.

"Human Torch!" Tsuyu shouted in concern.

"What the hell?" Jiro turned to Johnny, looking very concerned for the hero. She angrily turned back to Toad, getting a good look at the villain. "Ugh, he looks so gross."

"Yes well we amphibious types are, isn't that right little frog girl?" Toad taunted.

"Stop comparing me to you! We're nothing alike!" Tsuyu shouted.

"Yeah keep telling yourself that, you'll figure it out for yourself sooner or later," Toad said. "Then again, neither of you might survive this encounter at all, so I wouldn't get my hopes up too high."

"Don't underestimate us, you're not the first villain we've encountered," Jiro said, readying her earphone jacks. "And we'll make damn sure you aren't the last."

"Confident aren't we?" Toad taunted. "Let's see if it helps you survive!" Just as he dashed toward the two, both quickly leaping out the way. Jiro went for a kick, though Toad dodged and struck Jiro with a punch and quickly kicked back an oncoming Tsuyu.

"We won't let you beat us!" Jiro blasted her amp at Toad but he jumped aside, the soundwave hitting Tsuyu instead. "Oh crap!"

"That's no way to treat your classmate," Toad mocked, rushing in for a knee to her stomach. "But of course, better her than you." Toad kicked Jiro aside as he turned his attention back to Tsuyu.

The poor frog girl was still dazed from the accidental attack but she still made an effort to attack Toad, the villain blocking her punch.

"Give it up," Toad said, knocking Tsuyu to the ground. "You're outmatched."

"Not a chance," Tsuyu said, standing to face Toad. "I'm training to be a hero, I can't give up."

"So naïve," Toad said. "You're wasting your talents, all you hero types are. You're all better worrying about yourselves than the approval of a bunch of ungrateful people. Almost everyone has a quirk nowadays, so honestly, what is the point of a Superhero? Can there even be Superheroes anymore?"

"As long as villains like you exist," Tsuyu said.

"That is such a one dimensional answer, probably got drilled into your head by higher ups, the same ones who see you all as nothing but pawns to control everyone and everything," Toad said. "You really think they care about you? Do you really think anyone cares? Outside your hero work, you're just a nobody, and if you don't do your job right, people will be quick to turn on you."

"You almost remind me of the guy who invaded the USJ," Tsuyu said. "But All Might saw right through him, just like I can see through you. Right now you're just making excuses to hurt people because maybe you were hurt by others."

"Excuse me?" Toad said.

"You said it yourself, people like us get judged for being weird looking, because we're both amphibious, ribbit," Tsuyu said. "I'm no strange to that. Most kids avoided me because of how I looked, and it did bother me for a while, until I met a friend of mine. She was just like me, she also had trouble making friends because of her looks. But at least we knew we weren't alone, and it helped us become friends, since then I've felt a bit more confident in myself and since coming to UA, I met some really nice kids. My classmate came down here to help me, not because she had to, but because she was worried about me. Back at the USJ I met a boy who risked breaking his arm to save my life." Tsuyu got into a fight position, ready to bring down this villain. "So don't try to act like there's no hope for me, because at least I didn't give up as fast as you seem to have done."

"Little brat, I'm done being nice!" Toad rushed to attack, but he was rammed on the side by a now recovered Johnny, stunning him briefly. That's when Tsuyu rushed in with a drop kick that knocked Toad against the wall.

"Ribbit!" Tsuyu quickly wrapped her tongue around his ankle and flung him against a wall, taking him out of the fight.

"Great work kid!" Johnny praised. "You just took down a somewhat formidable villain."

"Thanks Human Torch," Tsuyu said.

"You can call me 'Johnny'," the hero replied. "And you're Tsuyu right? I heard about you from Flurry. Or rather, Flurry told Peter and Peter told me, point is you're cool."

"Ribbit, thanks," Tsuyu said. "Also, if you want, you can call me Tsuyu-chan. Or Tsu since you natively speak English."

"Tsu huh? That's actually what I call my sister," Johnny said. "I'll stick with that."

That pleased Tsuyu, this feels like she made a new friend, and on top of that she handled herself well against a villain, even a whole group of them.

Time passed by, each of the The Brotherhood had been apprehended by the police and were ready to be taken away for questioning. Each of the pros were explaining the situation to the policemen, their interns close by. Jiro and Tsuyu seemed pretty pleased with themselves, knowing they were able to help bring down some villains, though Bakugo didn't look to pleased, something Jiro caught on to.

"What's with you?" Jiro asked the angry boy.

"None of your damn business," Bakugo replied.

Jiro sighed in annoyance, "You have such a bad attitude, how are you gonna be a hero like that?"

"Can it!" Bakugo shouted. "I don't need your freaking approval!"

"Is it because you almost died?" Tsuyu asked, Bakugo angrily reacting.

"N-no! What are you talking about!? Ugh, you be quiet!" Bakugo shouted.

"I don't know why that would bother you, we all nearly died today," Tsuyu said. "It's bound to happen."

"Yeah, Death Arms was telling me about the hero killer and how he endangered our classmates, so we weren't the only ones who were exposed to danger, I heard Midoriya got messed up pretty bad," Jiro said.

Bakugo twitched a bit, something Tsuyu noticed, "Uh, probably shouldn't have mentioned Midoriya, you know how much Bakugo hates him."

"Yeah I never got that," Jiro said. "Why do you hate Midoriya? He seems like a nice kid, very weird but is that a reason to hate him?"

"My past with Deku isn't anyone's business, now stop talking to me already!" Bakugo shouted.

Jiro rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Fine, be that way."

Tsuyu pitied Bakugo a little, she could tell his pride was hurt from nearly being outsmarted and killed during his fight against Pyro, and being compared to Izuku didn't help much. As she was in thought, Logan had approached the kids, checking over them.

"Think we're just about done here, once the cops take those nimrods to the slammer, we should be able to go on out way," Logan said.

"Ribbit, alright sir," Tsuyu said.

"You three did well today, followed orders," Logan glanced at Bakugo. "Mostly." He focused back on the girls, "And you worked together. Sometimes being a hero means cooperating with others, whether you're a team or not."

"That's true," Death Arms said, approaching the kids. "It's a hero's job to ensure the safety of others, teamwork helps with that."

"Yes sir," Jiro said.

Johnny and Rainbow Dash made their way over as well, Johnny glancing at an annoyed Bakugo. "Hey, you did alright out there Katsuki." Bakugo barely reacted, Johnny looked a bit annoyed by his constant scowling. "Is there something you wanna say?"

"No," Bakugo replied.

Johnny knew that was bogus, but he also knew Bakugo was hard headed, he'd have to figure out a way to get him to talk. "Well, that's fine, but take this lesson. When in battle, anything can happen, people who think they got this in the bag are usually the ones who get their ass handed to them in the end, don't be one of those people."

"He should have figured that out when Parker stomped the ever loving crap out of him at the Sports Festival," Jiro felt.

Tsuyu again looked a bit concerned for the angry boy. "I hope Bakugo can swallow his pride here and listen to Johnny."

Logan glared a bit at Bakugo, not liking this boy's attitude, "Better pay close attention kid, especially to someone who someone who speaks from experience."

Rainbow Dash turned her attention to Jiro, noticing her rocker look, "Hey Kyoka, nice duds."

"Huh?" Jiro was surprised by the random compliment, "Uh, thanks."

"Got a cool looking quirk, ear phone jacks attacked to your ears," Rainbow Dash noticed. "Now you can listen to your music player without worrying if you lost your earphones or not."

"Yeah, really comes in handy," Jiro said, rubbing her head bashfully. "This is surreal, can't believe you like my quirk."

"Surreal huh? Yeah I have that affect on people," Rainbow Dash said. "Fan of mine?"

"Kind of," Jiro said.

"Since my Wonderbolt Days?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Or anything recent."

"More, your music," Jiro said, blushing a bit. "I've heard your Rainbow Rocks songs, they're bangers for sure."

Rainbow Dash greatly appreciated that, while proud of her heroics, she's also proud of the tunes she's made in her time, "Ha, you got good taste kid, you play music?"

Jiro didn't answer right away, she just turned her head away, too shy to answer, "Eh..."

"I think she's embarrassed," Tsuyu pointed out.

"Thanks Tsu," Jiro sarcastically lamented.

"Hey if you're too star-struck then it's fine, we'll talk later," Rainbow Dash said. "Yo Death Arms, be sure you nurture her talents."

"You don't have to worry about that Rainbow Dash, she's in good hands," Death Arms said, then looked back to the cops, noticing one of them calling the heroes over. "Looks like they still need us for something."

"On it, let's go Torch, you too Dash," Logan said.

As the heroes made their way over, Johnny stopped a second to turn to Tsuyu, "By the way kid, I hope you didn't take Toad seriously, you're very cute, I can't imagine anyone thinking the contrary."

Tsuyu blushed at Johnny's compliment, nodding her head at the hero, "Th-thank you sir."

Johnny made his way back with the other heroes, Jiro taking the moment to pat Tsuyu on the back, "He's not wrong, you're kind of cute."

"Thanks, but it's fine, I know I don't need to look a certain way, I'm fine just how I am," Tsuyu said. "Although..."

"Hm? Although what?" Jiro asked.

Tsuyu shook her head, "It's nothing, but..." Tsuyu rubbed her head. "Sometimes I do feel a bit crummy knowing I'm not as pretty as other girls. Makes me wonder if I'll ever get married."

"Married?" Jiro asked.

Feeling awkward, Tsuyu attempted to derail things, "Not that it matters! Ribbit. I mean not everyone gets married, All Might never did and he seems happy. It's just gonna make it weird if I have a crush on a boy, and he might not like me back because I'm not pretty enough for him."

"Tsu, if a boy doesn't like you because you're not pretty enough, that boy isn't worth it," Jiro said. "I believe you can find someone if you really wanted to."

"I guess so, ribbit," Tsuyu said. "It's no big deal, it's not like I need a boyfriend right now, I'm happy with just having friends and training to become a hero."

"That's the right idea," Jiro said, then noticed some firemen arriving, along with a boy that seemed kind of familiar. "Isn't that one of Parker's friends?"

Tsuyu looked over to see Franklin Richards assisting Pro Hero Backdraft in putting out some fires. "Oh yeah it is."

"Great work Psi-Lord," Backdraft said. "I think I can handle the rest from here, go scout and make sure there aren't any fires we missed."

"Sure thing," Franklin said, his pro continuing his work.

"Psi-Lord?" Jiro said, catching Franklin by surprise.

"Huh?" Franklin got a good look at the girls. "Oh, I think I know you two, I saw you at the Sports Festival, you're both in Mayday's class."

"That's us, I'm Kyoka Jiro, Hero name, Earphone Jack," Jiro introduced.

"I'm Tsuyu Asui, Hero name, Froppy," Tsuyu introduced.

"I'm Franklin Richards," the boy introduced, sheepishly rubbing his head. "Psi-Lord."

"That's an interesting name," Jiro said.

"Mayday helped me come up with it, she called me that as a joke because of my quirk," Franklin said. "I couldn't think of a pro name so I stuck with it, I actually considered Avatar but Mayday said that name doesn't really suit me, Flurry and Rina agreed."

"Psi-Lord's fine," Jiro said. "So, this is your agency? I figured the son of Mr. Fantastic and The Invisible Woman would be doing something a little more...high profile."

"I could have, despite my placement at the Sports Festival I still got a lot of offers, mainly because of how well known my parents are. But I didn't feel like I was ready for that stuff after the Sports Festival, considering I broke my arm just before the big Tournament so I couldn't really test my physical abilities," Franklin said, lamenting the memory. "I know Shoto Todoroki didn't mean to and Rina told me he was sorry but it does really bother me that I missed my chance."

"You can still do the Sports Festival Next year," Tsuyu said. "Don't give up hope, I think you'll be able to blow everyone away."

"Thanks, you're really nice," Franklin said, very appreciative of Tsuyu's encouraging words. "Who are you interning with?"

"I'm interning with Wolverine, he's really nice," Tsuyu said.

"I'm with Death Arms," Jiro added, then gestured to Bakugo. "Our classmate there is interning with your uncle."

"Yeah, Uncle Johnny told me about taking in a boy with a really bad temper," Franklin said.

"I heard that!" Bakugo shouted.

Franklin freaked out a bit and bowed his head, "I'm really sorry!" He turned back to the girls, "Uh, am I doing it right? Is this how you apologize in Japan?"

"Yeah, but don't worry about that stuff, be you," Jiro said. "Well I should be getting back to my pro."

"Same, we don't wanna hold you, but if I may ask, why did you choose this agency?" Tsuyu asked.

"Believe it or not, Uncle Johnny was a fireman once," Franklin said. "The Fantastic Four Hero Agency went under for a while, so Uncle Johnny became a fireman until dad got the Agency restarted. I always thought that was neat, plus Superman did say that Firemen, Policemen and Paramedics are just as important to Hero Society as the pros, so I want to see things from their perspective."

"Wow, that's really noble," Tsuyu said. "You're gonna make a fine hero one day."

Franklin blushed again. "She's such a nice girl." "Thanks Tsuyu. I should get going, it was really nice talking to you. Uh, if you want to talk again, I'd be more than willing to, that's if you want!"

"Sure, I don't mind," Tsuyu said. This boy reminds her a lot of Midoriya, without the constant stammering and talking to himself. "Also, you can call me 'Tsu'."

"Tsu? Like my mom?" Franklin said. "Uh, sure, I guess, if you want."

"Or you could say 'Tsuyu-chan' if you want to go Japanese," Jiro said.

"I would, but Mayday would just bug me about being a weeb like she does with Flurry," Franklin said. "Besides, I like Tsu, it's really pretty."

That comment caused both Franklin and Tsuyu to freeze, Jiro trying to contain her laughter, "Pretty?"

"Uh, like I said, I should go! Bye girls!" Franklin quickly scurried away, leaving the two girls behind.

"He's kind of dorky, but he has that charm that makes it work," Jiro said, turning back to Tsuyu, seeing the huge blush on the girl. "He really took your breath away, didn't he?"

"Uh...yeah, we should get back too," Tsuyu said, quickly scurrying back to Wolverine.

Time passed by, after the villains were sent away, the UA kids left with their pros. Franklin and Backdraft finished up with the fire while Jiro left with Death Arms.

Back at the Rainbow Torch Agency, Bakugo was still seen to be in a foul mood, angrily blasting a bunch of training dummies. His goal of one-upping Izuku's previous villain encounter was foiled almost instantly by henchman of an old villain.

"Katsuki," Johnny said, the boy barely acknowledging him. "If you're upset about something, helps to just come out and say it."

"You're not gonna let up are you?" Bakugo asked.

"If I let up, then I'm not fit to be a teacher, now am I?" Johnny pointed out. "Something's bugging you dude, and I think I know what it is. You're upset that you nearly bit the dust out there."

"Like I was in any real danger, that guy just got lucky," Bakugo said.

"Lucky huh? You know it's funny, I thought he was lucky the first time I met him," Johnny said. "When I was only a couple years older than you are now, I went to Manhattan for a special appearance at Midtown High, to kind of do some hero talk, you know, motivate the students to be better people. That's when I first met Pyro, the dude used his quirk to throw me around. Let me tell you, it totally sucked, I felt like he made me look bad, some low level Magneto thug trying to one-up the star of the Fantastic Four. Peter happened to be there since he was meeting up with his old friend Mary-Jane Watson, think the two were dating at the time or something, I couldn't keep track of Peter's girlfriends, he had quite a few ladies clamoring to him, not as much as me but-"

"There a point to this?" Bakugo asked, getting impatient.

"My point is that I needed help, I thought I could do anything but I found out the hard way that even I need back-up from time to time," Johnny said. "Honestly, it did suck for me to realize that, especially since I needed help, especially from my rival, took quite a blow to the ego. It's like if Izuku saved your life."

"Pfft, like that'll ever happen," Bakugo said.

"You never know kid," Johnny said. "For all you know, that kid could be getting stronger himself right now."

Bakugo cringed a bit, thinking about what progress Deku could be making, the idea of that boy surpassing him really got him on edge. "I'll still be better"

"You can do your best to make that happen, you got the potential," Johnny said. "But remember the point of my story. If you don't accept the possibility that you might need help, then things are just gonna be rough for you in the future. Just think about it Katsuki."

Johnny left Bakugo to himself, the boy resuming his training. Deep down, he does wonder if Johnny has a point, even All Might needed some help at the USJ, and he's the Number One Hero. Granted he wants to surpass All Might and all other heroes, maybe having some help once in a while won't hurt, at least until he gets strong enough to not need anyone.

He was determined to better himself, for when the day came where he doesn't need help, that he truly is the strongest, that's when he'll confidently take the Number One spot.

Back with Logan, he and Tsuyu had returned to the cabin where Fluttershy had finished up some dinner. "I heard you two were really busy today."

"That's an understatement, kid's tough though," Logan said, rubbing Tsuyu's head. "She's got a lot of amazing potential."

"Thank you sir," Tsuyu said, blushing at the compliments.

"I'm just glad you're not hurt Tsu," Fluttershy said, kneeling down to Tsuyu. "Were you scared at all?"

"A little, but I trusted Logan and my classmates," Tsuyu said.

"She had two kids from her class in that fight, a girl named Kyoka Jiro and that Katsuki Bakugo boy," Logan explained.

"Oh, that angry boy?" Fluttershy asked. "How was he?"

"A pain, but I'm hoping today's experience humbled him, even a bit," Logan said. "Johnny will try to get through to him."

"I hope Rainbow Dash can help with that," Fluttershy said. "At least everyone's safe."

"I still gotta file some reports, the villains we ran into today were members of Magneto's Brotherhood, so I gotta look into why they were here," Logan said. "Mind looking after Tsu fer a bit?"

"I'd be happy to," Fluttershy said, turning to Tsu. "Come on dear." As Logan made his way to his room to get some paperwork done, much as he dreaded it, Fluttershy had started serving some food. "So, your first major villain fight? Or your second since you were at the USJ when it got invaded."

"Yeah, I felt safer since Logan was there, so were Johnny Storm, Rainbow Dash and Death Arms," Tsuyu said. "It was a bit weird for me though, one of the villains had the similar type of quirk that I have."

"Oh yes, Toad, I remember him," Fluttershy said.

"It's weird, outside my family I haven't really met too many others that have my quirk, or anything like my quirk, to see him as a villain though," Tsuyu still remembered his words. "For a while, I thought I could have ended up like him."

"Oh? What makes you think that?" Fluttershy asked.

"He kept saying that freaks like us aren't liked by people, that our looks freak other people out," Tsuyu said. "I shouldn't take him seriously, but sometimes it's hard not to. Growing up I used to not have friends because I looked different, it wasn't until I met a girl named Habuko back in Middle School that I started to feel a bit better about myself, mainly since she had a hard time making friends too. My classmates are nice too, but sometimes I did feel a little out of place because of my looks. I even told Jiro that I worried about never having a boyfriend."

"You don't think you're ugly do you?" Fluttershy asked. "I think you're very adorable."

"I'd like to think I'm not ugly, and maybe I will find someone, I mean I don't look too different than my mom, of course my dad actually has a frog face, but I think there was more than physical attraction, I mean my parents are really nice and they must have loved each other for what's on the inside at least," Tsuyu said. "Still...I sometimes worry about my appearance, I know I shouldn't but I can't help it."

"Everyone feels down about themselves sometimes, I used to think no one would like me because I was so shy when I was your age," Tsuyu said. "Logan also had romance troubles, I won't delve into them because they don't have the happiest endings, but my point is that everyone has those doubts, you just need the confidence to brush them aside. I know our examples aren't like yours, but sometimes personality and luck can be just as bad when it comes to the desire for romance."

"I know, but honestly, after today, I'm not worried too much about that," Tsuyu said, blushing a bit. "Not after meeting that boy."

Fluttershy's eyes widened in excitement, "A boy? Is he cute? Wait, was it Katsuki Bakugo?"

"No, not him," Tsuyu explained. "It was actually a boy from 1-B, Franklin Richards." Tsuyu blushed a bit while thinking about him. "And yeah, he is kind of cute."

That sparked Fluttershy's interest, obviously knowing Franklin as Johnny's nephew and one of her daughter's best friends. The two spent some time discussing these potential newfound feelings between Tsuyu and Franklin, both wondering how it'll bloom, if it'll bloom at all. But Tsuyu feels confident about this and believes this will grow.

Unfortunately in another part of town, a police car had been destroyed, it's captives released and making their way into a portal, three of them already making their way through.

"Seems you've impressed Tomura Shigaraki, even if by a little bit," Kurogiri said.

Pyro smirked just before stepping through, "I look forward to doing business."

The Brotherhood and The League of Villains have made their beginning mark, and how this would affect the future of Heroics was left in the air.
