Steven finishes up with Nedzu leaving his office with meetings set up and homework to write out what he would be willing to share with the world and turn it into nedzu after his work study. The next few days pass quickly and suddenly steven finds himself at a trainstation with his classmates, waiting on the train to Musutafa

"Problem child." Aizawa says and six heads turn his way.

"Universe." he corrects, remembering how much of a problem this class really was.

"Yes Mr Aizawa?"

"You remember what Nedzu said about your healing corect?"

"Don't use it?"

"Right, your classes with the old lady begin after school when you get back, study hard."

"I will." steven says, smiling at him hearing the announcement that his train has arrived.

"Goodbye Mr aizawa." he says waving goodbye as he steps onto the train, finding a place to stand near a bar.

"Hey you're the kid from the sports festival right?" a woman behind him asks and sounds of intrigue echo through the car as it takes off.

"Yep, that was me."

"You did great kid, if you weren't taken out I'm sure you could have won."

"Thanks for your support." he says smiling at her.


Steven checks the number on the door against the one on his slip of paper before knocking on the door, the door exploding out and a foot coming towards his face steven drops his case catching the leg a shockwave flying from where The rabbit hero mirikos kick had been stopped by Steven Universe's hand.

"Nice reflexes." she says grinning at him.

"Arent doors expensive?" Steven asks curiously.

"I have a door budget." She explains. Stepping back and waving him into the house.

"Suit up kid, we're hitting my gym and I need to know exactly what you're capable of before I take you out." She gestures to a room and steven takes his suitcase in changing into his normal outfit and follows Rumi through her home.

"So your outfit is just your day clothes? Practical I like it."

"I grew up with a family who wore the same outfits for years, it's a habit I picked up." he admits as iriko throws open a door to a massive training room filled with different kinds of equipment.

"Wow."

"I know right, I don't have an agency so I needed to have this place built to train." She leads him over to a metal bar.

"Now, this is really high tech, the simple way to explain it to you is that it uses science to make it heavier. Now lift." she tells him, pushing him forward.

"I set it to my max, get to it." steven walks over to the bar and grabs it, lifting it over his head, the weight manageable compared to the injector drill.

"Damn kid, alright let's keep going." She moves the slider on the screen and he can feel the weight getting heavier and heavier, Miriko grinning.

"Well, that's the max. You're stronger than my weight set up can measure. Your lifting 60,000 lbs right now."

"Realy?" he asks surprised, never having a number for how much he could lift.

"Yea, you are strong as shit kid, alright you have strength in spades, good reflexes and a head for fighting and we're in Mustufa where every corner has a horo and every alleyway has three two bit villains, want to patrol?" she smiles widely waiting on his answer.

"Yes." he agrees, nodding once.

"Perfect." She says turning and heading for the door, pulling her phone out of her utility belt and pressing a button after steven walks through a heavy metal shutter closing as she slips it back into its pouch.

"I'm gonna show you how to jump like i do today, by the time you go back to u.a you'll never want to walk anywhere again, Try to keep up" and with that she launches herself into the sky, steven following after.


Miriko lands on a roof overlooking a bank across the street, three men inside one watching the door, one guarding the hostigas and one inside the ripped open vault filling bags with money.

"Bank robbery, a good catch. Let's go."

"Go?"

"No hesitation universe!" She chides jumping down, steven following after seeing her crash through the window kicking the man who stands over the hostages through the wall, Steven charging the door guard and bubbling him, floating him to the roof, the man in the vault pulling the door back into place metal bending.

"Coward!" Rumi yells as the hostages flee Rumi and steven approaches the door rumi knocking.

"Come out or we'll come in."

"Just let us go, i.. I have the bank manager in here!" he yells.

"Ok kid, pull the door away quickly on the count of three." rumi says softly and steven nods moving to the door his fingers digging into the metal

"One.,two.. Three." she says and steven pulls it away rumi moving almost instantly charging the man throwing the manager out of the way and slamming a knee into the man's chin bouncing him off of the roof.

Steven catches the manager setting him down and letting him run as Rumi handcuffs the unconscious man.

"A strength quirk and he just wants to rob a bank, should have taken a warehouse job." she dusts her hands off and walks over to steven.

"After we kick the bad guys teeth in we have to wait around to talk with the police, we'll be here for at least an hour before we can continue our patrol, bank jobs take more time to explain. She explains to steven as sound from outside the cops finally arrives at the silent alarm, Miriko and Steven walking outside to meet them.


The paperwork had taken longer than miriko would have liked due to her having to fill out extra work study paperwork making sure steven was in the clear. The police give them the go ahead and they jump up to the rooftop.

"Let's try to find a few more creeps to beat up before we head back yea?"

"Sounds good."

"So What'd you think of your first bank robbery, nowhere near as fun as Muscular huh?"

"We protected people, that's what matters."

"So, you're one of the goody goody heroes? It takes all kinds I guess." she shrugs before turning to him grinning.

"But I don't believe that, I saw you at the sports festival. You're fighting spirits like mine ill just have to find you a worthy opponent.'' Steven finds himself worried by the glint in her eyes as she turns and throws herself from the edge of the roof, steven rushing to follow.

The next few hours are some of the busiest of Steven's life as he and Miriko tear a path through town, stopping robberies, kidnapping attempts and a number of other crimes until the sun starts to set Miriko and Steven taking a break at a street corner food cart.

"This is where things get fun Universe, the freaks come out at night and tonight is a full moon." Steven puts the cap back on his water bottle.

"Are there really that many villains in this town?"

"Sure are, hell if this was an anime the main character would probably live here." she tells him and an explosion occurs up the street at the same time stevens phone digs steven checking it quickly seeing a street name.

"Phones away, we're moving out." Miriko chides as steven slips his phone back into his pocket, throwing his water in the trash can.

"Alright let's go." he tells her jumping towards the explosion with mirikp, his form had improved throughout the day. They reach the location finding death arms punching at a blonde woman, heavy metal riveted together wrapped around her torso and arms a purple bodysuit underneath.

"The same thing twice?" She laughs as his fist hits the armor before being blasted back by black energy, steven jumping down to catch him as Mt Lady tries to bring her foot down on her head, the woman bringing up her hands to meet her foot, bending with the blast before sending her energy back at her.

"Come one Heroes! I can take everything you have and send it back at you tenfold!" she snarls slamming a metal fist against the plate on her chest.

"Nice catch." Death arms says as he sees Miriko charging her.

"She's not going to be able to brute force this, she can collect kinetic energy and redirect it."

"Then we need to immobilize her,'' Steven says looking seeing Mirikos foot slamming into the metal and steven launches forward forming a prism shield and pulling Miriko back digging his shield into the ground to meet the massive blast of concussive force, feeling himself being pushed back carving a pit into the ground.

"She sends our attacks back at us stronger." steven explains to Miriko.

"A bad enemy for us strength heroes huh? Let's see how much she can take, give me something to send at her?" she grins pushing herself back her feet hitting the building the wall caving in as she bends her legs. Steven forms one of his hexagon shields tossing it up as Miriko launches forward spinning in the air and slamming both of her feet into a massive shockwave breaking the windows next to them as it slams into the woman who had brought up her arms to meet it her feet sliding into the ground black energy going in every direction as she fights it, her body growing in size as she absorbs the massive amounts of kinetic energy.

She laughs as Steven's shield pins her against the wall, Steven changing its shape to trap her against the wall.

"No matter how hard you hit me i'll just get stronger, you're all useless even All Might will fall."

She slams her head back breaking the wall behind her flipping over Steven's shield and launching herself towards steven who brings up a shield between them knocking it to the side and he can feel his arms ache for a moment as he takes a punch to the stomach launching him back sending him through the main floor of a skyscraper bringing it down on him as the world goes black.
