Nikki's p.o.v
I hear Sarah moving around and don't bother opening my eyes. Knowing her she just couldn't sleep like normal.
I hear the door click shut and fall back to sleep.
When I finally force my eyes open I see light seeping from the closed curtains. Glancing at the clock on the nightstand I see it's around eight in the morning. Flailing awake now I scan the room for Sarah, normally I'm a light sleeper but am just too lazy to open my eyes and just pretend to be asleep unless I absolutely have to be up.
"Sarah?" I called just in case she managed to somehow sneak back in without waking me.
When there's no answer I throwback the covers and run over to the bathroom to check there, nothing, to the patio just peeking through the curtains as I really did not want to see exactly how high up I was.
Thinking I need my shoes I turn to be smacked in the chest twice by thought of shoes.
"Ooph!" the breath gets knocked out of me as I instinctively clutch the shoes to my chest. "Fuck that hurt, no wonder Sarah's arms became diamond."
Once I slip on my shoes I look at my phone and keycard and they fly towards me, this time I barely duck in time to not be hit in the face with them.
"This quirk could be troublesome especially if everything I think of comes flying at me.." I mutter.
Before they could fly at me again I start thinking of how nice it would be if my bed would make itself….my eyes become saucers as the blankets float in the air straightening out before falling gently back on the bed while the pillows fluff themselves before being placed back where they had been yesterday.
"Cool."
I make it to my fallen things and they float up to me this time more gently. Tilting my head I wondered if it was because of my apprehension.
"Later. For now find Sarah. Hopefully she's just in the Lobby or the Coffee shop they have here." I mutter walking towards the door.
I quickly make my way down calling her phone only for it to go straight to voicemail. My anxiety rose, she never turned off her phone and she had found chargers last night so I knew it wasn't dead.
Not seeing her in the Lobby I check the shop not seeing her. I swallow my social anxiety for the fear of something happening to my best friend trumped it.
Walking over to the main desk I see the Lady that checked us in last night looking tired. "Excuse me have you by chance seen my friend?"
She blinks at me then smiles nodding. "Yes, yes. She left early this morning with Best Jeanist. He mistook her for some trouble maker and she made him buy her coffee so I sent them to my friends Cafe."
Sighing in relief before what she says hit me. Sarah had already ran into one of the top heroes and didn't get me for it?! Oh she was gonna get it now.
My phone starts blaring, looking at it I see Sarah's name pop up.
Walking away I decide to mess with her a bit.
"Sarah?! Where are you?" I demand glad to actually hear her voice, I feel my shoulders relax as I plop into a chair in the corner.
"I'm good. I'm two blocks to the left and then take a right from the hotel. I found a job by chance from a certain loudmouth that you love."
My eyes narrow as my head tilts. She must mean Present Mike or Hizashi Yamada though I doubted she even knew his real name. She wasn't as into the heroes as I was or the type to go digging into characters she just took what the show gave unless they really caught her attention.
"Look I can't stay on the phone but I just wanted to let you know. I get off, he said around three today."
I hear the sound of something cooking and distant chatter so she must be a cook at the cafe or somewhere. Though why would a hero own a cafe? Hizashi wouldn't need to especially being a hero and a teacher...when would he even have time for it?
"Oh thank god. How the fuck did find a job so fast?!!" I demand standing in my shock before plopping back down.
I mean holy hell Sarah, we've been here less than twenty-four hours!
"I got Lucky. Why don't you stick there and practice your quirk because we don't need things flying at people or people flying around."
What the fuck did she somehow know about this morning and how things flew at the mere thought of me wanting something or to do something. To be completely fair out of our quirks mine would be harder to control so it was a fair point. Though I wasn't going to admit that to her.
Groaning at the smugness in her voice for having a point I agree. "Fiiiine this is so not fair you get to meet so many cool heroes and I'm stuck here."
"Order up!" she practically yells in my ear and I remember she is working.
"Shit sorry, I'll let you get back to work. See ya."
Hanging up I stand up looking around not seeing anyone I know and head back upstairs to the room.
I eat some of the leftovers from last night as I practice control by making a single pen float around the room and setting it down before making it float and fly around the room.
By the time three rolls around I was bored out of my mind but could now control five things without any incidents.
Sarah walks into the door looking like shit. Dark bags were under her eyes and I instantly feel bad.
"Was it because of the flames?" I question as she grabs a clean set of clothes from the bags on the table.
She shrugs and smiles at me but it doesn't reach her eyes. "You know I have trouble sleeping from being on night shift for so long."
I knew it was just a lie to make me feel better but it wasn't working, if anything I felt even worse. "So how was work?" I ask trying to change the subject.
She shrugs. "Actually pretty good. Mike is talkative but not bad, I thought he would be louder to be honest. Oh before I even got the job I had Jeanist help find some places to live in decent areas but that would have some space. I like this one the best from the sound of it and it would take a good chunk of money but it'd be doable. Talked with Mike and the pay will be under the table so that will be good. It confused him at first but when I told him we had just moved here and didn't have a bank account or anything registered here yet he agreed."
I raised an eyebrow at her, this was usually the opposite. I would be the one making the long term plans so for her to do this something must be eating at her.
"So lets recap you couldn't sleep and so you met at least two pro heroes, got a job and found possible housing for us?" I must say I was impressed by her at this point.
She looks towards the window that I had moved open earlier. "Pretty much, before it gets too dark lets go check out these places. We can't afford this hotel forever. We also need to get you a computer to get us in the system with your insane skills."
I smirk yeah I was good but even I had doubts about breaking into the government's security and making us identities here.
Sarah goes into the bathroom and I hear the water turn on. "I wonder what the limits are to her quirk...is it just different things for hardening or is it a different type of quirk we haven't heard of yet. Something that suits her personality like mine did." I muse idly making a pen spin in circles.
Making a note in the back of my head to test it later but make sure she doesn't have any other phobias I wasn't aware of so I don't repeat last night again. It hadn't even occurred to me she may be afraid of flames since she was always carrying lighters and having bonfires and such.
She had only ever told me about her fear of monkeys, coyotes and both of those she just hated she had never been that pale before. Though thinking on it this was her worst fear, losing her family and dog in a blink of an eye this wasn't going to be easy.
'I'll just be super cheerful and drag her out of the dark.' I vow silently not realizing the door flew open because of it.
"Nikki! Shut the door!"
Jumping I turn seeing myself in the bathroom mirror. "Sorry!"
I will the door to shut and in my haste it slams shut vibrating the room.
"Shit. Sorry!!"
