Chapter 14
"Come on kid! I thought with your quirk, you could keep up!" Mirko screamed as she hopped to another rooftop.
I was using Full Cowling to chase after her, I was wearing my hero costume, with my new gauntlets, I had to treat Melissa to lunch when I got back, I was trying to match Mirko's jumps, but damn she was fast.
"Screw it." I shot out black whip and pulled myself to the rooftop she was on and landed next to her.
"Finally, using all of your resources!" She slapped my back, it was strange since she was shorter than me by just a bit
I admired Mirko because of her determination but now seeing her up close, she was a pain in the ass.
"Yeah well I didn't know if I should use my whips, you never specified." I retorted, my mask receding, letting me breath easier.
A feature I had Melissa add, I was always a fan of the Optimus Prime style mask.
Mirko scoffed "I shouldn't have to, I said that you should try and keep up, there's a large gap between us so you have to give everything you have to keep up." She flicked my nose.
I glared at her, "You and Bakugo would get along like a house on fire … Or set the house on fire." I mumbled, "Don't know which one is worse."
This earned me a slap on the back of the head.
I was surprised that she wanted to take an internship. I did ask her when we met.
Flashback
I got up from my seat to realize that I was a bit taller than her, I didn't say anything about it to her in fear of her kicking my ass.
"Mirko." I bowed, "Stand straight brat, come on, I got us rooms. Separate rooms." The rabbit hero emphasized and walked to the elevator, I followed after her.
The elevator ride was a bit awkward. I looked at the woman next to me. "Mirko, why did you scout me?" I looked at her.
Mirko looked at me, "Because I really liked that ferocity you showed in the sports festival." She gave me a feral grin. "You dominated all 3 events and in the last battle with that explosive kid, I was impressed with your finishing kick." She then flicked my forehead.
"But you were sloppy, you could have done better, once I'm done with you, you'll be a pro at kicking!" She walked out as the elevator doors opened and I followed behind her.
"So you just picked me because I have an attitude and my kicks need work." I listed out, "There's something else but I'll keep that to myself." She took out a key and tossed it to me, I caught it and she pointed to the door with the number 503.
"Your room, mine is right across, get dressed, we're going on patrol." She ordered as she went into her room.
Flashback End
We started jumping again, Mirko hopped from building to building, I jumped after and used black whip to swing like spider man.
"With most heroes, they stick to one place and claim it as their territory with their agencies." She explained as we stopped on top of a tall building looking over the city.
"But me, I go around and help people all over the country." She looked at me with a serious expression, "Being a hero is a tough business, if you're not careful then you could get killed."
I nodded in understanding, my mind flashing to the image of her losing her arm in the war… a future i wish to avoid.
I looked down and spotted something, a car racing down the street. "Mirko." I pointed at the racing car, she looked down and smirked, "Good eye, okay newbie, let's go!"
She launched herself towards the speeding car. I used black whip to latch to her leg and let her pull me along.
I let go and flicked my fingers behind me to increase my speed, i shot past Mirko and launched a whip to the car's bumper.
I looked back to see if there was anything to use as an anchor… oh there wasn't.
I yelped as I was dragged by the car, fuck! I was bouncing against the pavement.
"Hang in there!" Mirko called as she was close to catching up. I looked around, there must be something, I looked ahead and saw a cement truck parked on the side.
I had one shot, please work, please work. Launching another whip to the truck and it latching was great, bad news, the feeling of nearly being pulled apart wasn't pleasant.
"GAH!" I shouted in pain as the car tried to drive off but I held firm, a man stuck his upper body out of the window and aimed a gun at me.
Fortunately, Mirko crashed on the hood of the car, stopping it in its place. I let go of the bumper feeling the soreness in my muscles.
The gunman tried to shoot her but I whipped the gun out of his hand.
Mirko smirked, "We can do this the easy way or the hard way." She punched the palm of her hand.
The criminals got out of the car with their hands up, not wanting to fight her.
I rolled my arms and glared at her. "You could have stepped in." I said.
Mirko rolled her eyes. "I could have but I wanted to see what you would do if you didn't have back up." She walked over. "You were expecting me to come in and stop the car, great, you're not even gonna get the credit, but I wanted to see if you had a plan if I was occupied."
I looked down, I understood what she meant, I didn't have a plan, just relied on her stepping in.
I received a slap on the head, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Come on, let's go, let the police do their job." She snapped as she walked past me, I looked and saw the police arresting the criminals.
I turned just in time to see Mirko hopping away. I cursed under my breath and summoned FC and jumped after her.
Momo was sweating and panting, a staff in hand, "Okay that's enough." The BMI Hero Fatgum called out.
She arrived just earlier to the FatGum agency, she was put against Tamaki Amajiki, a 3rd year at UA.
Amajiki, who had manifested octopus arms, turned around facing away from her "You're getting faster at creating stuff." Momo looked at Fatgum. "But you need to be faster with creating and your reaction time, too slow and the enemy can get close to immobilize you." The hero explained.
"I understand." Momo nodded as she went to the bench and got some water.
"Suneater here had the same problem, he could manifest the parts he needed but he needed time to do it." Fatgum pointed at Tamaki who had his head against the wall. "But he was able to get it down after practice."
"Umm is he alright?" Momo asked, concerned. "Yeah he just has some confidence issues." Fatgum rubbed the back of his head.
"Anyway what I'm saying is that you have an amazing ability and the smarts to use it, but you have to get some experience in fighting others to develop your reaction time and creation time."
"That makes sense." She said, "Come on let's go get something to eat!" Fatgum declared and walked out of the room with Momo and, reluctantly, Amajiki followed.
Ochako laid in her bed sighing, she was tired from today's training, she wasn't used to using her arms so much.
She looked at her bag and raised her hands, a pink glow covered the bag and it went up, she gritted her teeth and it fell after she let go.
"Ugh." She groaned and laid her head on the pillow.
She closed her eyes and sat up, "Come on." She whispered as she raised her arms and lifted various items in the room, she sweated as she felt her nauseous coming in.
Ochako dropped the items and held her mouth and groaned.
She thinks back to before the internships started.
Flashback
Ochako was in one of the gyms trying to levitate a bean bag, she stops panting, "Don't worry, it's normal." She looked over at Deku who gave her a small smile.
"But I've been doing this for 30 minutes." She sat on the floor, her stomach calming down.
Deku came to her side and offered her a hand, she took it and he pulled her up. "Yeah but your quirk evolved, you have an entirely new aspect you have to master, of course it's gonna be hard." He said rubbing the back of his neck. "Your quirk is related to you touching the objects you want to float, but this time you have to reach out and make them float." He explained.
She looked at the pads on her finger tips. "How did you master Black Whip so quickly?" She asked him, Deku hummed, "Well honestly, I just used it for almost everything." He replied.
Ochako tilted her head. "I had to regulate how much power I was using or else I would hurt someone I would be trying to save." He raised his hand showing black whip coming off his knuckles.
"After that, I started to use it every chance I got." He smiled, "Practice makes perfect Uraraka, this is something new and something that you can utilize in hero work, you can save a lot of people with this, but first you gotta master it." He said, "Whenever you want something, try using it to bring stuff to you, small stuff then work your way up to the big stuff."
Ochako smiled, "Your right." She bit her lip and hugged him, "Thank you." He blushed and hugged her back. "Your welcome." He said.
The two then pulled away. "I-I GOTTA GO!" Ochako ran away, her face boiling hot.
Flashback End
"Work your way up." Ochako gained a look of determination and started to levitate her phone to her hand, it landed on her palm, she smiled.
"Thanks Deku.." She blushed. "I'll be a hero just like you." She got started on levitating small items once more.
The next day, Mirko took me to a forest outside of the city. She was wearing her hero costume as was I, we stopped when we reached a clearing, there was a waterfall and some large rocks spread out around the clearing.
"Umm what are we doing here?" I asked looking around, "A place I found as I was exploring, good place to train." Mirko replied, throwing a duffle bag down and then immediately dashed towards me.
I reacted by summoning OFA 10% throughout my body and jumped back before she could deliver an axe kick aimed for my head. "Whoa! A little warning would be nice!" I landed and Mirko gave me a smirk.
"A villain won't warn you about when they are gonna attack, you need to expect the unexpected and retaliate!" She jumped towards me again.
I couldn't help but grin and meet her halfway. Now this is what I wanted.
3 hours later.
I was on my back catching my breath after another ass kicking from Mirko. I was exhausted.
"You lasted longer than I thought." Mirko drank some water from a bottle as she sat on a flat rock. "You have the moves but your reaction could use some work." She commented.
I slowly sat up. "Well you're too fast for me." I snarked, "There is always gonna be someone faster than you kid." Mirko took out a carrot out of nowhere and started to bite on it.
I rolled my eyes and got up, "You are very hard to predict." She said, "Really?" I asked, "Yeah, you caught me by surprise when you bashed that shield of yours against the rock." She growled rubbing her ear, "I can still hear the ringing."
I chuckled. "It did get you to let your guard down." I smirked, "Cheeky brat." She growled as she walked over, slapping me over the head.
"Ow." "I didn't even do it that hard, don't be a baby." I looked at her thighs and blushed looking away.
Mirko walked to the bag and took out her phone. "Hmm let's head back, shower and then we go on patrol!" I groaned.
"Oh stop complaining." I got up and stretched, "I think you broke something." I heard some of my bones crack. Mirko raised an eyebrow and strolled over, she poked my arm. "Nope nothing broken." She responded walking away, I couldn't help but look at her legs and bit my lip.
"Also stop looking at my legs." She looked over at me, I jumped and got up, my face completely red.
She smirked, "A little out of your league kid." She grabbed the duffle bag and made her way to the path we used to get here.
"... Why is it always women with muscle?" I grumbled as I followed her, first Nana, now Mirko.
After getting back to the hotel, I took a shower and waited outside for Mirko.
I was on my phone looking at my texts to Iida, no response. I sighed and texted in the group chat.
Deku: Hey guys.
GravityGirl: Hi Deku!
Blasty: The fuck am I doing here? And who changed my name?!
Deku: I asked your mom for your contact info and added you :)
AcidQueen: Hi Bakugo!
Rocky: BRO!
MadamMystery: Lol Hi~
Deku: Oh how's the internship with Jeanist? Wearing any tight jeans?
Blasty: Shut the fuck up Deku!
AcidQueen: Wait what are you talking about?
Deku: Bakugo is interning with Best Jeanist. He is required to wear jeans and have a haircut!
MadamMystery: OMG BAKUGO SEND A PIC!
Blasty: FUCK NO!
Rocky: Bro come on! I wanna see!
Blasty left the chat
Deku: I'll add him again later, by the way, has anyone heard from Iida?
GravityGirl: No. I'm kinda worried.
MadamMystery: I hope he's okay.
Deku: I'll keep trying.
I sighed as I put my phone down.
"Hey kid, what's got you down?" I looked back to see Mirko walking towards me.
"Nothing important." I responded.
She raised a brow at me, "Well okay, come on, we have some patrolling to do." She started to walk down the street. I put my phone in my pouch and followed after her.
It was quiet for a while, we passed people who took her picture and asked her about me.
"I don't do team ups but I thought I would take someone to teach." Mirko answered as she ruffled my hair.
I grumbled at her words. "And you picked the winner of the sports festival?" Someone asked, "Of course, the kid's got spunk!" I rolled my eyes.
We kept walking around and decided to get some lunch after an hour.
We sat on top of a building eating some burgers. "And here I thought you only ate carrots." I jabbed.
She glared at me. "At least carrots are healthy." She retorted taking a bite of her burger.
I shrugged and drank my soda. Looking over the city was very peaceful, the wind howling and the sound of traffic below.
My mind went back to Iida, when was the attack gonna start, tonight, tomorrow. I take another bite.
"Okay kid what's on your mind." I blinked and looked at my current teacher. "What do you mean?" I asked, "Your face is scrunched up and it looks like you're thinking too much." Mirko pointed at me.
I sighed, "Just worried about my classmate." I said, "Oh yeah, how come?" She took a sip of her smoothie. "I think he's going after the hero killer." I responded almost making her spit take.
"You're joking right?" Mirko asked. I shook my head. "No I'm not." I replied, finishing my burger. "Why do you think that your classmate would go after that guy?" She put a hand on her hip.
"He's the little brother of Ingenium." I told her, her eyes widened in understanding.
"Well that makes sense." She rubbed her chin, "I know it's hard to believe but I get the feeling that he might actually find him and get himself killed." I got up.
"You want to go after him to keep him from doing something stupid." She smirked and I nodded. "Well where is he?" She asked. "Hosu." I responded. "Last sightings… Well then that's where we're going." I looked surprised.
"Really that easy?" I asked and she shrugged. "I'm not the strict type." She walked past me. "Let's get going." I smirked, "Now we're talking."
Don't worry Iida, I'm gonna stop you from making the biggest mistake of your life.
