I want to explore a lot of Akio's relationships in the following chapters. Flesh out who I want him to be close to and be reoccurring characters he interacts with. Like the group, he hangs out with during lunch and other stuff.

Well, that's it hope you like this chapter. As much as I liked writing it. Oh FYI Burnin is not an OC she is an actual character in the MHA series I suggest not searching her up to avoid manga spoilers and such.

My Hero Academia: Akio Takeyama

Chapter 22:

Endeavor. The number 2 hero who cowls himself in orange bright flames. A professional in the industry who was always struck with criticism; not only from news outlets but fellow pro heroes. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter what we personally think of Endeavor - he does his job very well and that is the only thing that matters. Everyone and I mean news reporters, citizens, and heroes alike can't deny that Endeavor deserves to be next to All Might.

But he will never be put on a pedestal, unlike All Might. It's nothing to be ashamed of All Might is out of reach and Endeavor can only hope to hold a candle to the light that is All Might.

All Might's is too far ahead. Endeavor will never find a way to beat a man like him. It's a shame, out of all the top pros he stands as number one. I'm reminded of the many action figures tucked away neatly in a cardboard box under my bed.

They must be coated with dust by now.

The action figures of the few pro heroes I admired. Endeavor outnumber All Might by 3. I let the frost from around my fingers the white cold air crystallizing into solid particles. I focused on each and every one of them drawing them in as they attached to my fingers in a slow, but calculated speed before I increased its output. My fingers were coated in a slim sheet of ice and it began to crawl it's way up my forearm.

Well, only for a second before the ice decided it had enough and exploded into the air like white smoke. I let out a frustrated sigh, letting the small snowflakes of ice paddle down onto my blonde hair. A physical representation of my failure. A disappointment in how little I've progressed.

"That was amazing what you did in your last match." My aunt's fingers pressed into my shoulders as we both sat next to the furnace.

I can remember my face contorting into one of confusion, "What are you talking about?" I hadn't really thought about it before. The moments leading up to that decisive moment in my bout with Tokoyami. I looked down at my right-hand wiggling the fingers and rotating my arm. My fingers ran along the back of my knuckle trailing up my forearm and up to my shoulder.

How could you forget a feeling like that? So cold and numb. But weirdly enough it felt natural...like I had done it before.

She patted my back, "You don't exactly remember do you?" Lia asked and chuckled, "Which is what makes it all the more amazing. It's always in our lowest moments that sometimes we get very lucky, let me warn you-" Lia pulled me back against her chest placing her chin on the top of my head, "It's not something you want to rely on." She whispered in a sweet warning.

"Is there a reason why you're doing that?"

My body went frigid before I snapped my head to Todoroki. His mismatched eyes were glued on my outstretched hand. One that I pulled back and shoved into my pocket.

I couldn't help narrowing my eyes at him. "Watching me? Is there something you like?" I was joking obviously - I dont swing that way - but, Todoroki seemed to take what I said seriously.

Todo is as silent as they come. Fury locked behind a cold exterior. He seemed disturbed at the presumption before his face relaxed into that cool indifference he always wore.

Stoic with a lack of emotion, he spoke to me. "No." He answered staring hard at me.

I looked to the ground, I feel slightly offended.

Wait a second. "Y'know I thought we are at least friends," I waved my hand in a shooing motion, "But since you don't like me I won't tell you about my super move." The moment the words left my mouth Todoroki eyes lowered ever so slightly It felt as if I should be encased in ice right now or burnt to a crisp. I'm sure that was his version of an 'I'm done with your shit' face.

It got a good chuckle out of me.

With a chuckle, I looked up to the sky, "I can't rely on luck." I muttered. I closed my eyes before looking back at Todoroki.

"I have to get better, and the only way to do that is to train with the best." My words must have made him snap.

He grabbed my wrist causing me to wince at how hard he was gripping it.

"My father," Todoroki wasn't pleased not in the slightest. His brows were knitted together as he glared into my eyes. "Is not the best."

I could feel a sudden warmth journey up my arm causing a light relief from the frigid cold prickling at my fingertips. But I soon realized the warmth pricking at my arm started to grow in temperature and cause slight discomfort. "You shouldn't have picked my fathers' agency to intern." His voice was cold laced with warning. I felt slightly irritated. What was he trying to do? Scare me? Warn me?

The steam coming from him started to mix with my frost as my anger started to lower my temperature.

"So what?" My brows furrowed unappreciative and annoyed. I did not care. Whatever you may think to say won't sway me. Hell, it's already too late.

I stepped forward into his chest and stared straight in his mismatched eyes, "You may know your father one way, but I would be a fool to let this chance go to waste." I spoke clearly and firmly through gritted teeth. We stood there a moment glaring at each other before I snatched my hand away. Todoroki kissed his teeth before snapping his gaze away from me. I let out a huff and took a step back.

With a shake of my head, "Look I get it. I dont know what happened between you and your father." I eyed his scar before promptly running a hand along my shoulder. "Don't think just because you know who my mother is and I met your mother in return that everything is all forgiven."

Things don't just work out that way. There is a lot to hate him for. I may smile in his face sometimes and talk to him - rarely - but that only means we know each other. I guess it's kind of my fault, so, I should clarify it for him.

His lips twitched ever so slightly and his brows furrowed. "Akio I-"

"Who said you could call me by my first name?" I cut him off; my brows furrowing together with that built up irritation. "Use my last name. We are not friends Todoroki."

"It doesn't matter, what's done is done," I turned then, but not yet moving from my spot. I still have something left to say.

"Before, you said my quirk was incomplete a weaker version of yours." My body filled with anger at the reminder. His voice laced with notjing but ice and steel had carved a wound that never truly healed. Did he think I had forgotten? I craned my neck to see his reaction.

Surprise littered his face with a mix of confusion. His mouth moved slowly, "I...I didn't m-" I whirled on him furiously. He froze eyes widening slightly as I took a step towards him.

"You did mean what you said!" I snapped. After everything, you did then. Back during that excersize with All Might, I'll never forget. What even makes me angrier is that he could've ended the battle with one strike if he truly wanted. He was holding back the whole time. Hiding a furious fire quirk like that from his father. I was huffing and puffing, but eventually taking a moment to pause-calm myself.

Silence. No one said anything. My outburst drawing unnecessary attention to both of us. Shit.

"Is there a problem?" Aizawa's voice was groggy but deep. A hand was laid on my shoulder pulling me back. It was Aizawa. I took deep shaky breathes before shaking my head. Todoroki looked away from his eyes returning to the ground.

"Let's get this straight, you're classmates both going to the same agency. I shouldn't have to tell you that you both are representing U.A." His voice got deeper more demanding and more aggressive. His fingers pressed into my shoulder made me flinch in pain. Todoroki's eyebrows furrowed as he stared harder at his feet. "Act like it, or pretend to act like it, one of the two, do you understand me?"

"Yes, Sensei." Todoroki and I begrudgingly agreed.

Finally, he let go and whirled on the rest of the class. "Is something interesting going on here?" I could hear the class scramble away.

"No sensei!"

I stared at Todoroki before turning on my heel. This is going to be a long internship. Let's see how long I'll be able to stay patient with him around.

Train Station - Monday Mourning

"Good luck on your internship Akio."

Huh? I turned and looked down to find Tsuyu. I couldn't help the curl of my lips into a large smile ay my friend.

I chuckled and nodded, "Yeah, I'm probably going to need all the luck in the world." Tsuyu tilted her head to the side placing a finger on her chin.

"Should I ask about earlier?" Tsuyu took a step forward and without even asking took my hand in hers. I almost pulled away from her. My shoulders shooting up instinctively before I quickly relaxed. She paused blinking at my hand before looking up at me.

"Your hands," She trailed off. Her thumb rubbed at my palm. I pushed my fingers intertwining ours, "are cold."

They are cold. That much was obvious but I should be fine before I need to find somewhere warm to lower my temperature. I really have to reign in my emotions at times- I should be more mindful of the fact my emotions play a factor in my quirk going awol for whatever reason. I got too angry and multiply that with the stress of my first internship equals disaster day temperature-wise.

Now she was concerned. God, I hate when she gives me that look. That endless blank stare. The one that pressures me into spilling everything I would want to hide. Not that I could hide anything from her.

I tightened my hold and she responded in kind, "It's okay Tsu." I look back at Todoroki watching him lean lazily against one of the pillars. I wish we were at least friends. But to him, we're just classmates.

"It's the person who I'm interning with that I'm worried about," I mutter, thoughts drifting back to the number 2 hero endeavor at the sports festival. His power is immense, my quirk could barely keep up with the heat he was radiating and if I'm not careful I won't be able to prove myself. Then the match with Todoroki and Midoriya.

"I dont mean just Todoroki."

It's those eyes that worry me. Todoroki had a similar look at one point. But what force in the world would make him want me to intern beside him. Was it because I had a similar style of quirk like Todoroki? Or was it pure curiosity?

Tsuyu's voice breaks me from my trance.

"Huh?" I look back to the pillar to find Todoroki gone and frantically snap my head to Tsu.

"Your train is here." She points to a blue and white train and I catch red and white hair sticking out amongst the crowd of passengers pooling onto the train. I snapped my fingers and threw my hands in the air.

"You could've at least said something!" I yelled across the platform. He ignored me. Yep, he definitely wants nothing to do with me today. Not that I gave him a reason to be cordial anyway. I mumble a curse under my breath before turning and pulling Tsuyu into a sudden hug.

She lets out a ribbit and pats my back.

"Sorry, I haven't had the time to talk to you. When we get back from internships we should celebrate or something." I pull away with a smile while Tsuyu calmly looks away. I can see the red against her ears but it fades as quickly as it appears.

Should I? I wonder how she would react.

Tsuyu blinks up at me, "Akio, are you asking me on a date?" The question left her lips in a low whisper. Tsuyu couldn't help but say what was on her mind huh?

I leaned forward and whispered, "Would that be a bad thing?"

"Everyone boarding the train to central Shinjuku- the train is leaving in 1 minute." The automated robot voice announced over the speaker. I immediately straightened before spinning on my heel and sprinting down the side of the station pushing myself into the first space I seen before the doors could close on me.

Endeavor here I come.

Shinjuku - Endeavor Agency Tower

My expectations had been met with a sudden slap to the face. In front of me stood another pro hero or rather Endeavor's stupid sidekick. I could feel my blood boil as I stood there in my new hero costume decked out with new tech. Endeavor didn't even batt an eyelash as he handed me off to his lackey. I fiddled with my scarf which was now attached to the suit of my costume.

It also acted as my hoodie now too. The top was still fitted to my physique and had been padded with some very light armor. From the chest to the abs. The previous version had been a little too heavy for my liking. I removed the phoenix logo completely leaving my chest bare. I had the color scheme tweaked from purple and black. To white and purple with my new thick padded gloves being brown in color. The added weight to the gloves came from what I saw Tsuyu and Bakugo have.

But the item that I was most satisfied with was the new collar around my neck. My costume looked shiny because it had been woven out of mesh material which all was connected to a small device on my back. I raised my arm and turned it to the side seeing the stripes of blue heat up and turn red. My brown combat boots remained.

Now I can push my Ice quirk past its original threshold without worrying too much about getting hypothermia. Still though if I use my ice Quirk at strenuous levels I'll have to wait for the device to warm my body to the proper temperature before I can continue using it again. Like a real-life equivalent of a skill cooldown in an MMORPG.

I sighed and dropped my hand lazily on my lap. Looking up at the sidekicks running about and chatting. I'm getting kind of tired of waiting around. Endeavor left with Todoroki hours ago on patrol leaving me stuck here waiting for Burnin greenlight or for her time to patrol. According to her everyone rolled in groups and rotated patrols every day at different times.

Burnin is second to last today.

I was hoping to learn something from Endeavor, but I only got tossed aside like I was cheap wine compared to his son. I let out an exasperated sigh. This sucks. This is nothing, but a disaster.

"Hey, Burnin! There's some trouble in the skyscraper district!" A man with a dragon mask over his face called out to his colleague who's hair seems to get more wild at the news. I immediately sprung to my feet.

"Does that mean-?" I looked to Burnin for confirmation.

She barred her pointy teeth at me in a smile, "Don't worry, I and the new intern will deal with it!"

"Just the two of you? You sure you don't need backup? It seems like a stronger villain this time." The man warily suggested leaning back when her orange flames started to flicker in his direction.

"Who do you think you're talking to!?" Burnin seemed offended, "There is a reason why I'm number one here amongst you guys after all!" She let out a hearty laugh one that everyone seemed to sigh at. She seems colorful. My lips curled up into a wry smile. A fiery personality-if Bakugo was here she would probably clash with Bakugo a lot.

"Does she always yell all the time?" I asked to no one but myself.

"Pretty much." A tall girl answered anyway, carrying a stack of books in her arms. She smiled at me her blue eyes seemed to glow as she picked up a book from the stack. Vampire diaries: Deathly pale. "But only when she's not reading a book."

"Hi, names Osiris."

The girl pushed her glasses up and smiled, "Names Fairytail, nice to meet you." A blue fairy flame tail grew from the back of her skirt and stopped in front of me. Woah. I leaned back blinking in surprise before raising my hand watching as it curled around my hand and shook it.

She winked, "I hope you have a good time working beside us." She truly hoped that, didn't she? I paused taking a moment to just stare at her wispy tail wagging behind her. Is she excited? Her bashful chuckle caught me off guard as she looked back at her tail. "I dont remember the last time Endeavor brought in a new intern, so I'm a little happy."

That brought a smile to my face. At least some people appreciate my presence.

Skyscraper district - on way to Hyabusa Hotel

My mobility was limited to one of two things my ice and earth. I went with the ladder. Using my growth powers to build a slab of earth and move it forward. I could also control how fast it goes moderate is all I can manage for now as that takes less strain on my muscles while allowing me to move at a decent speed.

But-

"There are three things to keep in mind as a hero. Something that is drilled into us all on day one of our jobs!" Burnin was levitating in the air her hair pushing her forward like a rocket.

-Burnin was far ahead of me.

At first, we were on equal footing but the longer this went on the faster and further she got. It seemed like her quirk got stronger all of a sudden. Like a slow burn. I wonder if her name has anything to do with her quirk?

"Y-yeah," I grunted outputting a little bit more pressure against the slab of concrete to keep up. "What's that?"

"Memorize every last detail about your jurisdiction, dont let a single irregularity slip by!" Suddenly she stopped mid-air sending me shooting past her and before I could whip my head back she was gone. An orange-red wisp of a trail left behind and I snapped my head back in front of me following it down the street. She was holding a man up by his backpack, the straps breaking as she let the man fall to the ground headfirst and unconscious.

I ran over skidding to a halt in front of the criminal with a raised eyebrow. Burnin smiled again barring her teeth at me again. "30 seconds late Osiris! The second most important lesson as a hero is being on-site faster than anyone else. If you're just a few seconds late-" She lowered her eyes at me and nonchalantly tossed his bookbag into the air behind her.

My eyes widened as a small explosion filled the sky. That's why she left me in the dust. She was already able to tell something was up with this dude and immediately went to stop him. My eyes widened in shock. His bag was filled with an explosive. If we were even a minute late. Her quick deduction and decision making saved hundreds of lives.

I looked over at the crowd a group of small elementary students huddled against their teacher. I'm too slow to be a full-fledged hero. I felt needles in my chest ashamed of my shortcomings. Why? How come I didn't know this before? How come I didn't know the day to day life of a hero is filled with such adrenaline and constant movement.

"Lives are lost." Burnin finished motioning to the police rushing to the scene. The smiles beg toothy smile she gave me was nothing compared to the look in her eyes, Wake up and face reality.

I cursed under my breath. I wasn't even paying attention to my surroundings. How the hell was I supposed to know he was a bomber just from looking? I looked to a man finding his clothes clean and pristine. He looked like a man that was on his way to work. How do you tell the difference between your everyday civilian and criminal?

"C'mon intern!" She laughed turning and flying away. "We have work to do."

Immediately I grew another slab before pressuring it to move forward. This time my eyes were ahead looking around me at the street and being vigilant. I won't let myself get left behind and I'll take every lesson in stride. I wish I had the ability to see disturbances from a mile away or at least know when something was going to happen. I wonder if an ability like that is applicable to my quirk?

I can focus my quirk on anything solid that I touch. I can shape and move it in limited assets, unlike my Ice quirk where I'm able to sculpt about anything if I put my mind to it. I gritted my teeth realizing that Burnin was beginning to pull further ahead again. I need to get faster. Stronger. Better. If I dont put in the effort - My muscles tensed as I applied more strength into pushing the slab of earth further - than I won't become the great hero that I need to be.

The wind pulled against my hair forcing me to stop every minute to blow it out of my face. That's weird. I looked up to Burnin - directly under her now - with a raised eyebrow. I'm not going that fast. Something is wrong. Do I feel pins and needles? It was a sharp jab of pain but it was there. But I was fine. Burnin was fine.

If it was pin and needles. I rubbed my arm, How come there's no pain?

I closed my eyes in an attempt to pinpoint and understand what I was feeling. Perhaps I pushed my quirk too early on and that sensation was a warning? Although that doesn't make sense...I've pushed my quirk for longer durations so my threshold should be much higher. My brows furrowed in deep thought as I hung my head low.

Inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. What was that sensation? Focus on it. Pull at it. Slowly but surely I felt my senses dull a bit. The pulling of the asphalt from my quirk and the wind blowing past my ears faded into the dark. I felt lost for a moment and almost opened my eyes in a panic. Until that feeling came back at the heel of my feet, the pulsing pitter-patter of this hot and warm sensation climbed it's way up my back. It made my hairs stand on end. I allowed it to fester and build until it became too uncomfortable.

I felt like I was being boiled over. No, this is odd. Too odd. That sensation isn't really something that's hurting me but warning me. Like a sixth sense.

My eyes snapped open my body jumping up into action before I could even think to warn the pro hero in front of me. "Burnin stop!" I jumped to the ground throwing my arm up as a wall of gravel grew and solidified up in front of us blocking the street. The sudden wall of black gravel grabbed her attention and she forced herself to stop.

I realize then that she's completely misinterpreted the use of my quirk. I focused on the concrete of the sidewalk growing a pillar that lashed out at her.

"The heck! What are yo-" The pillar encircled her waist and pulled her down. Not a second later a car crashed through the gravel wall throwing bits and pieces into the air. A stray hit snapped through the body of the pillar and left Burnin spiraling down to the ground. I ran and dropped down into a slide crashing into the side of a van. I gritted my teeth and swallowed the pain instead of training my eyes on the vehicle flying through the air.

"Osiris! The car!" Burnin yelled.

I bit my lip shaking off the stun.

Minimize casualties by keeping citizens safe.

A pillar shot out calculated to be right under the car and instantaneously wrapping around the car.

I turned to the group of civilians I just saved - a mix of children and adults - I raised my hand. "Move back! A villain is hurling objects and I need you to take cover now!" They all nodded running into a nearby restaurant.

"Enough! I've had enough!" There was a Giant rumble as foot descended and crushed a car. Immediately I covered my nose looking to Burnin who was doing so as well. In front of us about half the size of my mother when her quirk is active is semi-giant. The body, however, was made completely out of garbage. Garbage bags, rotten food, and anything disgusting you could think of had been molded into a body.

"I hate this world and everyone in it!" An old man screamed and somehow although the pungent smell was making my eyes burn I caught hold of a small opening in the middle of the giant trash monster. It was a face, wrinkles, and a grey dirty beard.

"Burnin! There's an opening in the chest!" She nodded her hair back to its normal self. There was a frown on her lips as she began to run to me. I paused confused until I saw her finger pointed towards the air. I said nothing like the earth under her sprung forward suddenly before retracting. She was sent flying into the air and disappeared into the sky.

Right. You taught me the basics. I need to survive on my own for a little while.

Ignoring his spill about society and what, not I casually walked out onto the street in front of him. First, I need to gather his attention. As long as he keeps his eyes on me than everything should be fine.

"What are you doing!" I yelled, slowly concentrating frost into my palm. If I'm quick enough I can freeze over his leg and destroy it. Knock him off balance. Then I can restrain him myself so Burnin can come in and finish the rest. Immediately the rampaging old man stopped. His giant of a garbage body taking it's time to bend over slightly to look down at me.

"A hero?" The old man spoke with such a straight face that I felt uneasy.

"Yes. Is there a reason you're doing this?" I asked feeling my handshake from how much Ice I was pooling into my hand. Shit. I can't use my quirk when fighting a villain! Right as an intern, my job is to learn and right now there should be no reason I'm attacking him right now. As a hero, I have to find the most diplomatic way to calm this man down or at least prevent him from causing any more damage or hurting anyone. One swing at a building from this man could mean the fall of these buildings where citizens are sheltering. There are special cases where I would be allowed to use my quirk to engage, but I have one job right now as an intern.

To learn from my mentor. My job is to defend and keep the citizens around me safe from harm. Be vigilant, quick, and decisive. Getting into a fight right away will mean I'm possibly putting people in more harm.

"A reason," The old man's voice was hoarse and dry as he spoke. "I've been nothing but dedicated to my job from day one...it was all I had until some crooks showed up and took it all from me." Immediately I could see the anger flash in his brown eyes the way his brows furrowed as his lips pressed together in a thin line.

"I get it. But is this really the right way?" I asked, knowing the look in his eyes. It was a stare of revenge. I motioned around me at the destruction he unleashed with one throw of a car. Windows were shattered, the concrete destroyed from where I stopped the car, Lamppost bent and fire hydrant burnt.

His eyes scanned the damages for a moment.

"Revenge is never the answer." The words felt disgusting rolling off my tongue. I feel like such a hypocrite. Despite my personal gripe, I swallowed it down and returned to what was most important. "I'm asking you please have mercy on the people that have nothing to do with this and just surrender." It seemed the old man had been listening to me slowly becoming convinced. There was a burning sensation against my back and I knew that it couldn't be coming from the sun.

She's almost here.

With a smile, I stepped forward, "See...no one is going to-" There was a jingle from a door as I turned to the cafe people ran into for protecting moments ago. A man in a long trench coat and top hot stared up wide-eyed at the old Trash Giant elderly guy.

"Mikey?" The man spoke and when I saw the flash of recognition in the old guys features change into absolute fury. I knew that this man in the ebony long coat was going to get himself and everyone else in the cafe killed.

"You idiot!" I yelled sprinting forward attempting to push him back into the cafe. "You need to get back inside now!"

The man shoved my hand away and laughed. "Who would've known! A stuck up man as old you would be able to go on a rampage." He spat before letting out whistled impressed as his eyes scanned Mikey up and down, "Always knew you were twisted in the head it's why we fired you in the first place!"

I gritted my teeth in anger snapping my head to Mikey who with his giant body stood straight.

"BURNIN!" I yelled at the sky. I was desperate if she didn't get here in the next few seconds then. I ran in front of the man before shoving him to the ground. I could care less if he was hurt or not. His actions were outright vile and

The man reeled his hand back and I grabbed the idiot by the hand throwing him back through the doors of the cafe. I could care less for any injuries dealt to him to him the result in which he put not only his life in direct danger but the many innocent lives of the civilian behind him. I have little mercy for a man such as him.

"Burnin!" I shrieked once more in desperation as the colossal trash creation stopped for a brief moment. There was no way I was going to be able to stop an attack of that magnitude not from such a strong force. I could attack him- one precise attack to his opening will remove him and crumble his trash suit - but I will get in trouble for that especially with people watching.

So I did the best thing I could create a wall of concrete between me and Mikey. While reinforcing the entry to the restaurant with another wall of concrete. It's only one thing to do.

I put myself in front of the store and hope my body can take the brunt of the attack. I would most likely lose my life in the process. My bones rattled and I found my resolve wavering at the thought.

"Perhaps I shouldn't have complained about Todoroki getting all the fun."

There was a sizzling sound coming from the sky. Immediately Mikey stopped, movements restricting in a moment of bewilderment.

"What is that sound?"

Your catalyst.

The shadow being cast over me by the wall had completely disappeared.

"It looks like it's time to combust!"

My eyes widened as there was a flash and the sound of a bullet racing past my ears. I closed my eyes raising an arm to protect my face from the wind and dust hitting against my wall. When it was finally over I shrunk the concrete down. In front of me and behind me. Allowing the cowering civilians to race out of the Restaurant to see what the big bang had been about.

I looked over and down at the amount of garbage spewed across the ground. Most of it looked like it was slushie from having been melted. Other garbage is charred and burnt. I knew the source of it had to be Burnin. The crowd although they cringed at the smell of the nasty trash all around them cheers were tossed at Burnin.

My eyes were on Burnin who's hair, I noticed was smaller in length now, held Mikey by the face on the ground.

She laughed. "Now that's what I call a BURNOUT!"

I frowned and stomped over. "Do you know how long I was waiting for your return?" I asked a little frustrated. I thought I was actually going to die. Burnin rose, grinning from ear to ear, and her fangs on display.

"HAHA! I would have been here sooner but It is your fault for tossing me so high!" She laughed once more pointing at me. I sighed, realizing she was right. It was a spur of the moment and I wasn't paying attention to my strength. "Plus it takes time for me to charge my quirk." She pointed out with a grin.

"Sorry." I apologized. She shook her head, putting a hand on my shoulder in comfort.

"Don't worry! Nice job stalling long enough and evacuating the citizens. You were quick enough to save lives and minimize casualties. You did a great job." Burnin's words were very soothing to hear. It made me think I had accomplished something.

"Oh! I almost forgot! Since this is your first villain patrol and your the new intern I'll have you call this Villain into the police!" She pulled out a smartphone from the pouch on her side and gave it to me.

"Wait? We have to call ourselves?" Wasn't the police called already? Shouldn't we just wait for them to arrive?

Burnin laughed once more. "Of course! How else will the police know we've captured and subdued a Villain!?" Burnin smiled mischievously. "Unless you want to deal with the paparazzi on your first day!" She spun me around a crowd of reporters and journalists rushing my way.

"Oh no."

"Oh no indeed!"

I used a finger to put my hair back behind my hair as I leaned down and slurped up the noodles in the large bowl. Burnin laughed and pointed out how I eat like a woman.

I stopped eating to point my chopsticks at her, "It's not my fault that this hair of mines grows quickly." I said leaning back down to pick up the rest of the noodles. "And this plate is too heavy," I mumble.

It seems there are some benefits to working at a big agency like this. There is a personal chef here that prepares lunch for the heroes and I couldn't help but be in the mood for some ramen.

"Usually we would eat lunch while out on patrol but since today was quite exhausting I'll call it quits early." Burnin raised her arms high and stretched. "You can't really keep up with my pace and I doubt you have the stamina to keep running around stopping villains."

I paused feeling as if someone jabbed me in the chest. "Actually I have a very good amount of stamina," I shifted the chopsticks in my hands using my quirk to play around with the size and length of the chopsticks. Burnin oh'ed and smiled.

"I've gone through excessive physical training - sometimes more than my body can handle just to increase my pain tolerance. When I use my quirk I have to exert and tense my muscles for whatever solid I'm trying to grow. I dont know quite the specifics on science with solids, but from what I know the harder and heavier a solid is the more I will have to exert myself to use my quirk on it." Burnin nodded along seemingly taking in the information with ease.

"I get it I get it!" She yelled in her usual fervor, "A side effect of your quirk right?" Burnin guesses.

I nod and shrug my shoulders. "I also can conjure ice wh-" Burnin spat out her drink and jumped up. I leaned back as she leaned over the table to look at me straight in the face.

"You have two quirks!? Like Endeavors son!?" Burnin yelled in shock. It garnered the attention of the other employees who immediately turned our way. Everyone began to whisper and talk amongst there selves making me feel oddly uncomfortable.

I shrugged leaning back further away in my seat, "I mean...kinda?" I squeezed out towards the end but it did little to calm the incoming stampede of heroes.

The shot fire questions came in rapid succession. I couldn't even finish an answer before I was interrupted and had to snap my head to answer the next question. I was scrambling and in the midst of all the chaos, I failed to notice how warm the temperature had become.

Slowly the chatter and commotion eventually died down. Everyone uncomfortably started to scoot away carving out a path for...Endeavor. Even the hotheaded Burnin slinked back into her seat.

The relief I had suddenly felt washed away at his mere presence.

"Akio Takeyama." He spoke wisps of fire pulling away from his beard.

There was a small pause as Endeavor leaned down to look at me in the eye. Frost crawled it's way up my cheek to prevent the constant wave of heat from causing discomfort.

"Tomorrow you will come with Shoto and me." Endeavor brows furrowed his eyes taking on a new type of intensity. "Don't think I made this decision willingly-" My eyes widened in shock as Endeavor stood tall once more.

"I only gave you an offer because Shoto wouldn't accept otherwise." Endeavor than brushed passed me the slight hit almost knocking me to the floor. "Be ready tomorrow."

...

...

"Uh? I should probably show you where you're staying?" Burnin rose from her seat as I raised an arm to stop her. My eyes were glued to the floor as I slowly forced myself to breathe again. That bastard. I can't believe Todoroki would do something like that. My muscles tensed and my brows furrowed. My knuckles must have been white from how hard I was gripping the edge of my chair.

"D-do..." I paused to catch my breath, "Do you have a place where I can practice using my quirk?" I asked feeling the metal of the chair bend as I added more force. I'm going to kill him. The only reason why I'm here is because of Todoroki!? There were a screening noise and a loud snap that followed as I pulled apart the back of the chair.

"This is such bullshit."
