p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Everyone grumbled , Joi held in a laugh(she didn't think he was actually going to do it). They left him in the room./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Joi was curious about Alex, "What is your quirk?" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""It's called Breathing Styles" and she promptly explained it. /span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""You're going in public, so go change." She pointed him to his room. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"He came out in a purple shirt with a blue flannel and black cargos, "Better?"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Much, so you're going to visit someone and Joi is too. So you guys are meeting us at the park, right?" Chloe checked with the two, because one was irresponsible and the another wouldn't forget./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Yeah, we'll be there right after we're done." Joi looked Tyler to make sure./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The pair walked to her house, luckily the two houses they were heading to were close to the park./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""I'm fine, Joi. And Tyler I haven't seen you since you were 14, how's your mom?" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""She's okay, coming back from the States tomorrow." She went to go see his grandmother./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Because I'm her only teenage granddaughter." She loved her grandma but the woman always asked if she was pregnant, it was weird but…okay there was no justification for it./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Exactly why, just call her once a month at the least." /span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"They walked to Tyler's destination, and Joi was curious of who it could be./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"He opened the door, "RUMI, I KNOW YOURE HOME." /span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Joseph, if you don't get off me before Tyler comes." /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Too late, Rumi"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The two adults turned around. Rumi's vision was blocked by Enhancer's chest, she promptly pushed him. "We will talk, Tonnis."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Tyler pointed at Tonnis and turned his quirk on, "You hurt Rumi in any way, I don't care if you're the #15, I will hurt you"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Rumi formerly Mirko kicked him in his side/span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Rumi's eyes widened, she asked him to make her arm out of desperation but didn't think he was gonna do it. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""It's bleeding edge, but you can feel everything, it adjusts to your strength output and blends with you skin tone automatically and shapes to how your arm was." /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Rumi wrapped the boy in a one arm hug, "Thanks, I asked you two years ago after the PFL takedown. How did you get this"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""I made it, brought the info with my dads card. He doesn't know I'm using his card or that I'm using it to do this." /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"He smiled and Joi realized why he said it was important, she was the #4 hero before that and she was forced to retire because of the arm injury./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""So um one thing, I have to connect your nerves to it. Its pretty painful"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Rumi laid on the bed with her stump out with a board in her mouth, Enhancer held her legs and Joi held her arm./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"All three nodded, he started to attach the arm. Rumi broke the board in half, she opted to yell in pain./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Joi was knocked back(she didn't think Rumi could punch that hard), Tonnis let go after seeing the geomancer get knocked back. /span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""To be fair he did say it would" Joi pointed that out, her arm and back hurt. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Rumi looked at the arm, she flexed it and did some mock punches./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The pair left Rumi's home. "I see what you meant by important. But how do you know her?" Joi knew his dad was a pro but that high up?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""My mom actually helped her when she started out and she became like a sister to me. Losing her arm changed her, she didn't wanna leave her house, instead of being her normal wild rabbit self, she became a house rabbit." He hated going to her house while she sat in her self pity and even more when she became an alcoholic for a year(him and his mom smacked her around so she could get fixed up). /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Your mom helped THE Mirko get her footing as a hero." Joi never knew his mom did that stuff/span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Chloe spotted her two teens from afar and waved at them, they waved back. She smiled at them until a black blur smacked into Tyler. /span/p

He looked into his younger (she always emphasized 'by one month') cousin's grey eyes. She was attached to him, her arms were wrapped around him. He got up and placed her on the ground./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Because I haven't seen you in three years" Joi wondered what was up with him and not seeing people since middle school?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The group sighed in relief, that was cutoff by "ERIN, YOU CANT JUST SMASH INTO PEOPLE" The owner of the voice ran up and brushed Tyler off and said sorry to him and Joi, then grabbed Erin. "That's my cousin" the pair looked at him weird./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The 6'8 boy looked confused, "That's your big strong cousin who can beat me up?" He laughed.

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""That's where you darted to. Tyler, Madam Ingrao" the blonde haired teen turned in Chloe's direction, "My dear cousin. How have y-"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Don't Seth, We haven't talked since we were 7." That was true, his mother moved to Tokyo and he went with her./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""I thought Erin would be normal for once" she hated and loved how hyper she was. The peach energy user cringed at her and her cousin(she just noticed him). "Oh god there's two of them!" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The two cousins were having a handstand race, at Lee's words the cousins got back on their feet and shrugged./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Haru and Alex perked up at the mention of a race and looked at each other, "We'll join."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Ahh, what the hell, but we're gonna play tag with quirks after." Miruen really wanted to chase someone. The rest smirked, Lee sighed, "Fine, the race is no quirks then."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Joi internally cried, she had a dress. Chloe handed her leggings and a shirt, Joi said a quick thanks and ran to the bathroom. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"By the time Joi came back everyone was at the 'starting point', they agreed it would be to the tree in the center of that section of the park and back. /span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Tyler, Erin, Chloe, Joi, Seth and Chris took the lead, well were going neck and neck. Erin grabbed a tree and started jumping from tree to tree. Tyler leaned up and passed Chris, and turned and stuck his tongue out at him. Chloe and Joi stared to pass Chris as well, because of superior leg strength and Joi started passing Chloe(Joi ran track in middle school, she was the fastest one in the club)./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Lee was leading the back of the pack, Seth thought of something and sped up./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""On your left, bitch" he past her and joined Chris. She growled, he was going to pay in tag.

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Miruen was dead last not because she was slow but because she was being lazy. She planned to beat everyone in tag./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"He smirked and jumped onto the tree and blasted himself(without his quirk) towards the start. He slipped halfway and tucked and rolled. Joi touched the tree and quickly caught back up. /span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Where's three hour sleep Joi, I want that Joi ,not this well rested motherfucker." Chloe sighed, Joi got 8 solid hours of sleep, so there was no stopping her./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Miruen's eyes lit up when Joi asked who was it. Chris looked at her and shivered, are all UA students scary and here he thought Shiketsu was full of monsters. /span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""I-It feels so real." She broke into tears and hugging her brother in everything but blood./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""I'm glad it does, Rumi swing by UA sometimes, I actually have more friends I want you to meet" He sniffled, She didn't like leaving her house because of her arm. /span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The pair left Rumi's home. "I see what you meant by important. But how do you know her?" Joi knew his dad was a pro but that high up?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""My mom actually helped her when she started out and she became like a sister to me. Losing her arm changed her, she didn't wanna leave her house, instead of being her normal wild rabbit self, she became a house rabbit." He hated going to her house while she sat in her self pity and even more when she became an alcoholic for a year(him and his mom smacked her around so she could get fixed up). /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Your mom helped THE Mirko get her footing as a hero." Joi never knew his mom did that stuff/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Now you see how it felt to find out your mom helped Deku and Ground Zero get patched up and get their footing." She glared at the dark boy. /span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""And would you be so kind to explain why you smashed into me, Erin?" He looked into his younger (she always emphasized 'by one month') cousin's grey eyes. She was attached to him, her arms were wrapped around him. He got up and placed her on the ground./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Because I haven't seen you in three years" Joi wondered what was up with him and not seeing people since middle school?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The group sighed in relief, that was cutoff by "ERIN, YOU CANT JUST SMASH INTO PEOPLE" The owner of the voice ran up and brushed Tyler off and said sorry to him and Joi, then grabbed Erin. "That's my cousin" the pair looked at him weird./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The 6'8 boy looked confused, "That's your big strong cousin who can beat me up?" He laughed.

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""That's where you darted to. Tyler, Madam Ingrao" the blonde haired teen turned in Chloe's direction, "My dear cousin. How have y-"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Don't Seth, We haven't talked since we were 7." That was true, his mother moved to Tokyo and he went with her./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""I see no reason to continue that. Chris don't tempt Tyler with a fight, he can and will use your quirk against you" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Chris studied the 5'11 teen, his body said 'relaxed' but his eyes said 'I've fought bigger', he decided against it. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"A redhead sighed and grumbled " Why did we even leave campus?" /span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""I thought Erin would be normal for once" she hated and loved how hyper she was. The peach energy user cringed at her and her cousin(she just noticed him). "Oh god there's two of them!" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The two cousins were having a handstand race, at Lee's words the cousins got back on their feet and shrugged./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The black haired boys with the group laughed. "Could we join you guys, in your race?" They were bored, it was Lee's turn for the Saturday activity and she simply said park, nothing else./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Haru and Alex perked up at the mention of a race and looked at each other, "We'll join."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Ahh, what the hell, but we're gonna play tag with quirks after." Miruen really wanted to chase someone. The rest smirked, Lee sighed, "Fine, the race is no quirks then."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Joi internally cried, she had a dress. Chloe handed her leggings and a shirt, Joi said a quick thanks and ran to the bathroom. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"By the time Joi came back everyone was at the 'starting point', they agreed it would be to the tree in the center of that section of the park and back. /span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Set" the tree became a point of interest./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""GO" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Tyler, Erin, Chloe, Joi, Seth and Chris took the lead, well were going neck and neck. Erin grabbed a tree and started jumping from tree to tree. Tyler leaned up and passed Chris, and turned and stuck his tongue out at him. Chloe and Joi stared to pass Chris as well, because of superior leg strength and Joi started passing Chloe(Joi ran track in middle school, she was the fastest one in the club)./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Lee was leading the back of the pack, Seth thought of something and sped up./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Hey, Lee." She turned/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""On your left, bitch" he past her and joined Chris. She growled, he was going to pay in tag. The three sets of twins were neck and neck one after the other. Alex and Haru opted for hopping from tree to tree and were right behind Erin./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Miruen was dead last not because she was slow but because she was being lazy. She planned to beat everyone in tag./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Joi was right next to Tyler. "I'm gonna touch the tree before you" Joi got cocky./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""I have reach, short stack" he had fairly long legs, his arms were average. Joi realized he was gonna jump off the trees./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"He smirked and jumped onto the tree and blasted himself(without his quirk) towards the start. He slipped halfway and tucked and rolled. Joi touched the tree and quickly caught back up. /span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""No, I lost because my team, minus Chloe, was stupid."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""IM RIGHT HERE"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"The two leaders laughed and saw the finish line. Joi flipped over it./span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""Where's three hour sleep Joi, I want that Joi ,not this well rested motherfucker." Chloe sighed, Joi got 8 solid hours of sleep, so there was no stopping her./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Miruen's eyes lit up when Joi asked who was it. Chris looked at her and shivered, are all UA students scary and here he thought Shiketsu was full of monsters. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;" /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""The target only becomes it when you physically touch them but you can stop and out run and defend with your quirk(s)" she looked at Erin, the white haired girl had two quirks one was enhancement like her cousin and wind control like her mother(that only happened in their family when both parents had strong genes or pure will, the wielder often hated using that quirk and Erin was no exception)/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"They started the game, everyone scattered. Miruen already had a target, Seth. /span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Seth got up sad and in pain. He saw Erin leap across his field of vision, "Target acquired" and flew/ran towards the grey eyed girl. Erin didn't fail to notice him and slid across the grass. "I can't out run you and you know that Seth" the 5'4 girl knew Seth had the advantage, being in his part dragon form. /span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;""So, just let me tag you. It's nice and easy for both of us." /span/p

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"Seth rushed her, she dodged by leaning from the knees up.

p class="MsoNormal"span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"She smirked out of anger and rushed the boy with a flying knee, he blocked it and faux yawned./span/p
