Chp Four: It Takes Two to Mango

Roy walks into the viewing room nervously. He would have to meet all new people, a bunch of new kids thinking that they are heroes despite knowing literally nothing. He has been doing this since he was ten. He knows that lives are at stake every time they go out. The last school he was at, the kids treated heroing like it was a game. Hopefully it wouldn't be that way here.

He opens the door and sees a golden haired boy sticking a fork into a light socket.

Roy turns around. He wasn't going to deal with this.

He sighs. He has to do well at this school. This school was his shot to get his hero license and get away from home. He lets out a long breath and turns back around. He steps through the door, ignoring the idiot who was electrocuting himself, and walks over to All Might. "Hello sir." Roy says quietly. "I'm the foreign exchange student from America. Hopefully they told you about me?"

All Might nods. "Yes, of course. I will draw again and get you a partner. Until then, watch the matches with the others."

Roy nods and walks to the back of the room. He hugs his wings closer to himself in case someone decides to "trip" or something.

A cute, short girl with green-blue hair styled messy buns and glassy blue eyes comes over to him. "Hi, I'm Emiko Suzuki, nice to meet you." She holds her hand out for a hand shake.

Roy shakes her hand. "Nice to meet you."

"So, who are you?" Emiko asks.

"Ohh I'm Roy, Roy Harp." He grins. "I'm an exchange student from the U.S."

Emiko seems excited. "You're from America? That's so cool. How's it like over there? What school did you go to before here?"

Roy grins at her enthusiasm and was about to answer her questions, but All Might called them over. All Might announces the next teams. "Suzuki and Harp. Suzuki, you will be the villain, and Harp, you are the hero."

Roy had barely paid attention to the match to begin with. He's supposed to stop Emiko from doing something with a fake bomb; he knows that much. He walks over to the building and his wings rise up with his anxiousness.

Emiko smirks and waves at him. "Good luck!" She says as she runs into the building.

"Ready, set, go!" All Might's voice booms through speakers.

He sets off, running into the building. It might not have been the smartest move, but he doesn't know where the "bomb" is. It's probably easier to find it by trying to follow Emiko's footsteps. He walks down the hallways. Suddenly a wall of solid rock slams up in front of him. He gulps, jumping back. She could have killed him with that!

He turns and goes to walk back. Then another wall rises up. He looks between the two walls and smirks. At least someone's taking this seriously.

He glances at the ceiling. The bomb is probably up there; that's why she didn't want him getting too close to the stairs. Roy unfurls his wings and lifts off into the air. He slams his fist against the ceiling and breaks through to the next level. He keeps the momentum, glancing around each level and moving onto the next.

He's getting closer, he knows it. He lands on the next level and looks around. The bomb could be anywhere. Pressing his wings back against his body, he walks down the hall. He feels like someone is watching him and turns around, seeing nothing.

Suddenly, concrete starts flying towards him from all directions, he shoots up into the air, thankful for the building's high ceilings, and heads back. She must have been there watching him.

He lands softly behind her, and she startles, quickly whirling around to face him.

"Hi!" He waves his hand.

She tries to hit him, but he blocks her. She backs up and raises her arms menacingly. The whole building starts shaking! Was she trying to collapse the building on him?!

"Oops, well I guess cameras don't like earthquakes." She charges him. "Anyway, let's tango!" She kicks him in the stomach: hard.

Roy grunts in pain. Did she say mango? What does that even mean? He got to his feet. "Don't you think you're taking this whole villain thing a little too far? How the hell do your kicks pack more of a punch than your punches?"

She smirks cutely. "First off, not really. And second, I guess you just have to find out."

She throws another punch and Roy takes her arm. He swings her into the wall behind him and she lands with a groan. He runs up to her and pins her against the wall before she has another chance to use her quirk.

"So, what state are you from?" She asks.

He smirks. "Well, look who wants to make small talk."

She tries to escape, but he was too strong. "I figure since we are this close, I would like to know the person who is pinning me against a wall."

He backs off some, feeling a little embarrassed. "That's fair; I'm from New Jersey."

She wiggles her hand out and thrusts it up into his nose.

Roy instinctively stumbles back clutching his nose. He kneels on the floor holding it in place for it to set again.

Then Emiko trips over him and hits her head.

He groans and gets up, but then his mindsight acts up again. He sees Emiko laying on the floor and not much else. "Ohh shit!" He curses. He takes a few steps forward and falls over her.

"Ouch, can't you see where you're walking?" She yells at him.

He snears. "Apparently you can't see either." He snaps back as he rolls off her. "What the hell is your quirk anyway?"

"I guess you do deserve to know. I copy other people's quirks." She looks him, maybe. He can't tell right now. What he can see is that her eyes have gone gold like his do when mindsight happens. "Please keep it a secret, please?"

He nods. There's enough about his quirk that he doesn't want to get out. He can respect her for being secretive about hers too. "I won't tell anyone. Mostly because I'm scared of what you might do to me." He smiles at her. "So are we continue, or..."

Emiko groans. "I'm going to continue lying here for awhile. If you want you can stay."

The buzzer goes off. Roy sighs. Looks like he started the school year with a tie. On the plus side, this school might not be so bad after all.
