Camie Utsushmi walked up to the bar after Bakugou mumbled to her that he could use a drink. After joking that she left her fake ID at home, she offered to get some for them. "Two cokes please!" she asked the bartender.
"My, aren't you pretty?" a feminine voice said.
The illusionist hero turned to see a blonde woman with three snakes on her head. She wore a dark purple snake-skin dress that hit all of her curves. Camie threw her hands over her face. "OMG, you're Uwabami! I'm such a huge fan!" she exclaimed.
Uwabami chuckled and walked up to the counter next to her. "Give me your best red, good sir," she said to the blushing bartender as he set Camie's sodas down. "I didn't know you were part of Class 2-A."
"Oh, I'm not! I was asked to come here by my best bro, Bakugou," she replied as she pointed to Bakugou who was being pestered by Kirishima and Mina.
The bartender placed her wine glass down in front of Uwabami. "Ah yes, I remember him. He's quite a scene at the sport festivals."
"Haha, he's something alright."
"So where do you go to school?"
"I'm a third year student at Shiketsu High School."
"Wow, you are going to graduate soon. Congratulations," Uwabami said, holding up her glass.
Camie dinked her glass with the snake hero. "Thanks! I'm super stoked to finally get started being a pro and everything, but I'm kinda nervous tbh."
"Why's that?"
"I'm not sure who's going to want me as a sidekick. Everything's becoming too real."
"What's your quirk?"
Camie blew a tiny illusion of Uwabami on the table in her traditional costume. "I'm glad you asked, bigger me! The smoke from her mouth can create dope illusions," Glamour Uwabami said before poofing away.
"That is incredible! I would love to talk to you more. I can use a new sidekick."
Camie's eyes grew huge. "Do you mean it?"
"Of course!" Uwabami grabbed a business card from her purse. "Shoot me an email, and we can schedule an interview." Camie stared at the card with pride. Uwabami turned to leave but held back. "Can I suggest one thing though?" Camie glanced up to her. "I would ditch that Bakugou kid. That explosive behavior of his could ruin your career."
Camie furrowed her eyebrows. "Excuse me?"
"I'm just saying that kid has a better chance of being a villain than a true pro hero, no offense. They are other heroes who think the same as me."
Camie surveyed the room at the other heroes occasionally glancing at Bakugou as he yelled at Kirishima. She tore the business card in half and grabbed the two glasses. She passed by Uwabami without looking back. She sat down and gulped her soda down. Bakugou, Kirishima and Mina stared at her. "Whatta you looking at?" she asked.
Mina reached her hand out to touch hers. "Are you alright, Camie?"
"Why wouldn't I be?" She glared at empty glass as Kirishima and Mina looked at Bakugou.
Bakugou sighed and stood up. "Do you want to come outside with me?" he asked, holding his hand out.
She glanced up at him and took his hand to allow him to lead her to the garden. "What the hell was that about?" Kirishima asked.
"I don't know, but whatever that snake hero said to her really bothered her," Mina replied.
"I hope Bakugou doesn't make it worse."
"I think they'll be fine. C'mon, let's go dance."
Kirishima smiled at her as they walked to the dance floor where Momo and Todoroki were.
The pair danced harmoniously until Todoroki slowed their pace while his eyes darkened. "Todoroki, what's the matter?" Momo asked. She then felt someone tap on her shoulders.
Momo turned to see Endeavor holding out his hand. "May I cut in?" he asked.
oooooOOOOOOOO another cliffhanger! What's Endeavor up to? Will Bakugou find out what Uwabami said about him?
Stay tuned!
