Tokoyami and Alice hung out in her room for almost two hours. He helped her get her room unpacked and things set up. He was surprised how quickly the time went. It wasnt until they could hear the chatter of his classmates did he realize it was getting close to the end of the day. They had almost everything unpacked, aside from her clothing and a box or two that she said she would get to later. It left the room feeling more comfortable. A brown, green, and dark purple checkered carpet was now sprawled across the floor, a brown beanbag in the corner where Alice had been excited to set up a small reading nook, and a strand of warm yellow lights were tied up around her ceiling. Her bed sheets matched the carpet and she had hung up a paid of deep purple curtains in the windows to give the room a bit of darkness. It suited her well. He'd learned quite about her too. The girl was a bit older than he was. She had been held back a grade due to sickness as a child, but had come to love a variety of artistic hobbies because of it. She painted often and loved the outdoors, much different than he had expected. She loved to cook and had her own cache of spices hidden for special occasions. She even had a small variety of teas that he knew Yaoyorozu would enjoy.
Once they heard Bakugo's yelling did they head for the elevator. Alice was a bit apprehensive, but after Tokoyami's reassurance they made their way downstairs.

"What the fuck are you going on about, Deku?" Bakugo partially shouted as he changed his shoes to something more comfortable. The male ran his hand through his blond hair, disgust written on his face. Izuku held up his hands, opening his mouth to speak, but Kirishima interrupted him.

"Dont try, Bakubro wasnt paying attention when Aziawa explained the reason we were housing a support student." The redhead rolled his eyes and nudged Izuku playfully in the arm. "He just heard that we'd be having a support student and lost his mind."

"Well? I dont want a fucking support student sitting in on our Hero stuff! They better not get in the fucking way." Bakugo growled the words, stomping off towards the kitchen to grab something to drink. Kirishima rolled his eyes again and followed along, stopping the moment he heard the elevator ding. He watched as Tokoyami stepped out of the elevator, talking to a black haired girl.

"Tokoyami-Bro! There you are! Did Aziawa send you off to show the new girl around?" He grinned and shoved his hands in his pockets, wandering over to the pair. That got the rest of the class's attention and they turned to watch the interaction.

"Yes, this is Ms. Alice Rise." He motioned to the girl, who smiled in response.

"You can call me Alice. I dont do well with formalities." Alice grinned to Kirishima, who matched her energy perfectly.

"A pleasure. Name's Eijiro Kirishima. You can call me whatever. Ill answer to anything." He held out a hand to her, which she took excitedly. "That loudmouth you just saw walk by was Bakugo. He's harmless."

"Shut up Shitty hair! Dont fucking call me harmless!" Bakugo's snarl came from the other room and he moved to lean in the doorway. He looked the girl over. She was pretty, but he didnt have much else to say. "Just stay out of my fucking way and we wont have a problem, got it Extra?" He nodded to her, a slight sneer on his lips. "I dont need anyone getting in the way of me being the number one hero."

Alice looked, surprised? She frowned. "I have no want or need to be the number one hero. So I wont get in your way, promise."

"You better not, Support." Bakugo snorted and turned away to head towards the elevator. He was tired, but needed to get a workout in before dinner.

A boy with green hair approached shyly, "Awh, Kaachan gave you a nickname. That means he likes you. Im Izuku Midorya or Deku as Kaachan calls me. A pleasure to meet you." He gave her a grin. "Mr. Aziawa told us that we'd be getting a support student in one of our extra rooms, but he didnt say much else about it."

Alice rubbed her arm, "Im technically not like Support Support. Im taking the support general classes and then I have an independent Study after lunch. They stuck me here because there wasnt room in the Support dorms, but thank you so much for having me." She tried to bow, but the group was quick to pull her up.

"Dont worry about that!" A round-face girl stepped up to meet her, her smile wide. She had rich brown hair that curled around her cheeks, her brown gaze bright. She took Alice's hand and held it "You dont have to be so formal with us. You are definitely welcome. Im Ochaco Uraraka. A pleasure to meet you!"

Alice smiled brightly, "Ah! We share a wall. Im in the room right next to yours." She rubbed the back of her head, her cheeks flushed lightly at the girl holding her hand. "Im excited to be here. Its so much different than how it was back home. Ill try to stay out of everyone's way."

"Dont worry about staying out of anyone's way." A girl with pink skin leaned in from the doorway. "Trust me. Also what's going on? Oh! Hey! New kid! Im Mina Ashido, but you can call me Mina. Definitely dont worry about staying out of the way. You are welcome here." She stepped in, her hands in her pockets.

Alice let out a breath she didnt know she was holding in. Tokoyami was right, she felt so much better after introductions. The class was super friendly and she didnt feel obligated to do anything. She could just exist.
They all hung around chatting and getting to know each other before dinner. Alice actually found out that her and Uraraka had quite a lot in common. They had similar tastes in music and favorite sweets were mochi. They both enjoyed night time walking and just watching the starlit sky. Izuku or Deku as he had affectionately been called was a shy guy, but determined. Kirishima was super sweet and offered to help Alice wherever she might need it. The entire class really stepped up to make her life easier. She enjoyed it.

It wasnt until after everyone went for lights out that Alice really got to relax. She hated working on things in her room, too much of a distraction to get things done. She grabbed her books and materials, heading down to the main room to make a nest on the floor under one of the coffee tables. She had gotten all set up before Kirishima had wandered downstairs to get something to drink before bed. "What are you doing up?" He blinked in surprise, watching the girl with a curious gaze. He wandered over, leaning over the back of the couch to creep on what she was doing.

"I cant study in my room." She admitted with a laugh. Alice motioned to the papers spread out. "I have a bunch of catch-up work to do. So I figured the best place is where I cant be distracted." She mused faintly and leaned back to look at the male upside down. "What are YOU doing up?"

Kirishima opened and closed his mouth, laughing to himself. "I wanted to get a drink before heading to bed." He leaned on the back of the couch, an amused smile on lips. "With all that work, did you even plan on sleeping?"

Alice shook her head, "I dont sleep often. I have really bad insomnia and nightmares sometimes." She shrugged. "Its gotten better over the years, but Im in a new place, new environment. Ill prolly ask Recovery girl for something if I can find her office tomorrow."

Kirishima frowned. He didnt like the idea of anyone not going to sleep. Especially if they were going to be doing something related to the whole hero business. "Well... I can show ya tomorrow, if you want?" He rose a brow.

Alice went to speak, but was cut off by a disgruntled "meow" from above. She looked up towards the door, where Chess stood defiantly in the middle of the doorway. He had his tail puffed up and looked downright irritated that his master would dare leave him behind.

"Cat?" Kirishima straightened to get a better look at the little creature. "Is that a cat?"

"Kinda. Chess, come." Alice mused faintly as the cat zipped over to her, rubbing on her arms affectionately. "He's my Quirk."

Kirishima moved around the couch and stuck out his hand with a bewildered expression on his face. "Your Quirk is a cat?" He glanced at her like she was lying to him. Who's quirk was just a cat?

The girl snorted and rolled her eyes, "He's kinda like Tokoyami's Dark Shadow. His name is Cheshire, but I call him Chess. Im a shadow Quirk user."

"Oh! That's so cool!" He brightened significantly when the cat rubbed against his hand, molding around his fingers like water. "Tokoyami is totally a strong guy too. Does this little guy have his own personality?"

"Yeah. He's completely separate from me. It took me ages to train him, but we can work together without really speaking now." Alice mused as the cat jumped from the table to the couch, settling in a loaf near her head. "He responds to my wants and needs, but has his own personality. He basically can defy me if he doesnt think something will work or it will be too much of a risk."

Kirishima stood up again, a bright smile on his lips. "Thats bad ass, let me tell you. Youll really have to show us what you can do after this. Im sure the others would be really thrilled to see him and know about your quirk."

"Really?" Alice blinked at him in surprise. No one had ever been excited to meet Chess. He was such an unnatural creature it made people uncomfortable. The only person who had looked thrilled was Tokoyami. Most people eventually got to know the small cat and deemed him just a normal cat. An intelligent one, but a normal one none the less.

"Yeah! Have people not been excited to meet him?" Kirishima rose a brow and tilted his head. "He's a little kitty." He reached down to scratch the cat under the chin. "A Shadow kitty, but he's still a cat. Who doesnt like cats?"

The relief on the girl's face was obvious and Kirishima tilted his head even more. "Most people find him super creepy. Even my good friend back home was weirded out by him at first." She said hesitantly. "Its something about an uncanny valley?" Alice tapped her pencil to her lips. "If thats the word Im looking for."

Kirishima laughed, "I can see that, but Im sure this class would be thrilled to meet him. Trust me." He stood straight again and rubbed the back of his head. "But get some sleep when you can. I gotta match Bakugo's Gym session tomorrow morning. Have a good night!"

Alice waved goodbye and settled back into her homework. She had lazily made her way through weeks of backlog- making sure to take her time and show her work. She was surprised how fast the night went. At some point she had dozed off for a few minutes, but most of her night was spent either stretching or studying. It wasnt until the elevator dinged did she jump in surprise.
Her phone read 5am, which was a bit early for anyone to be up, but she didnt expect to see the blond hot head walk through the doors with a towel over his shoulder- nor did he expect to see the girl sitting in a mess of papers. "The fuck are you doing awake, Support?" He rose a brow, looking up at the clock on the wall before squinting down at her and then to the black blob asleep on the couch.

"Studying." She said simply, eyeing him with the same confused expression that he had. "I gotta get caught up to get my provisional license."

"Hn." Bakugo shrugged. That was enough of an excuse for him. He walked off to shower, leaving the girl to her work again. It just left her confused, why was he even awake at 5am? Alice shrugged and went back to her work, not even responding when he came walking back out to head back upstairs. The male had stopped to stare at her for a moment. Did she even sleep? Not many people went to bed as early as he did, but he'd never seen anyone sleep less than Aizawa.

Finally he wandered over to see what she was working on after he went and got into his gym clothes. He looked down at the girl's sloppy kanji as she tried to get done with her Japanese homework. "You spelled that wrong." He pointed out, getting the girl to jump at his voice. He smirked faintly. "You need to cross that letter there. No no, not that. Fuck, are you that useless? Come on, let me show you." He walked around the table and crouched down, taking her pencil from her. Alice sat and watched as he sketched out the letter on a piece of paper next to him. "Like this, see?"

Alice opened her mouth and closed it again before speaking, "Yeah. I'm not the best at Japanese."

"I can see that. Gods, how did you get into this school?" Bakugo handed her the pencil and motioned for her to copy him.

"Transfer? I was at the best school in Ontario."

"Oh so the bar was set pretty low." Bakugo snorted, another faint smirk on his lips.

"Shut up." She grumbled in return. Alice rolled her eyes, but a faint smile appeared on her lips. "I bet your English is shit."

"I bet your English is shit." He mocked back at her and stood, stretching his arms above his head. "My grades are the best in the class." He stated simply.

Alice wanted to retort, but after hearing the guy yell about how he was such a bad ass and was gonna be number one hero. She kinda wasnt surprised. She had gotten a good look at his quirk when he had threatened to blow Deku's face off. "Well either way, Thanks for the help." She tried to smile at him, which he just stared at her with a blank expression. "I think."
"Dont mention it. At all. I cant let anyone know that Im tutoring the fucking support kid. People might get the wrong idea." He turned around and left after that. Alice just stared at the door with a confused expression. He was a mystery for sure. Kirishima and Uraraka had said that he was determined, but once you got to know him- he usually showed his tolerance in weird ways. Was this a weird way? She didnt want to get in his way. Truthfully, she wanted nothing to do with being a top 10 hero.
