Yuko walked with straight posture, looking around at the many people and city lights. She stood beside Tamaki, who was walking behind Eijiro, and the BMI Hero: Fatgum, the hero she and Eijiro now work under for hero studies, he also being the hero who requested her to U.A.
She looked up at Fat as he began to speak, a tray of Takoyaki in his hand. "Those punks and hoodlums keep gettin' into so many fights these days! I'm starvin'!"
"Yeah, the hero agencies 'round here have been wantin' a fightin' type. Red Riot, you're perfect." Yuko looked around Fatgum, giving a grin.
"Yeah! Kiri's strong!" Eijiro looked at the two with a grin, before slamming his fists together.
"I look forward to working with you! Fourth Kind wasn't taking work studies so I'm grateful to you for taking me on!" Yuko returned to walking in pace with Tamaki, looking over at the anti-social third year.
"If only Mirio were free." She heard the hooded male mutter, "you kept coming at me. It was scary."Yuko grinned nervously as she remembered the night before.
She and Eijiro had gone to see Tamaki, and as she was about to ask him why he wanted to see them, Eijiro started to question him quite fast, even asking him to introduce him to the hero he works under.
"If Tamaki could only do somethin' about his weak mind, he'd be great talent!" Fat grinned.
"That pressure leads me to even lower lows..." Yuko grinned nervously at the older beside her.
"It's always like this...! This man scouted me in order to torment me! It's power harassment! I want to go home!" Yuko laughed at his words, it wasn't the first time she heard them.
"Maybe he's trying to encourage you! That's how it sound to me, anyways." Eijiro grinned, stating a more positive outlook.
Yuko pat the taller's shoulder, "yeah Jiki. I'm sure that's the case."
She looked up as a vendor shouted for Fat, the hero waving him off with a "I will tommorow!"
"I can't be cheerful and positive like you two or Mirio." Yuko frowned at elf-eared male's words, she too had heard him say this before, when she had joked about him being more social, before she had gone to U.A.
"I feel the same sometimes. There are lots of times I can't do anything when everyone else is frantic." Eijiro agreed, Yuko nodding, only to frown at his next words.
"The gap in ability and experience between me and my classmates has gotten bigger... So I want to at least lose the gap so I can stand next to them!"
"That's called "being positive," first year." Yuko came to a stop as she felt a sudden chill, before a yell sounded behind them.
"It's a fight! Somebody, help!" They turned to look back, finding a group of men in suits running off.
Fatgum cut them off, they running into the hero, and sinking into his fat. "I won't let you!" The hero declared, pushing them farther into the fat on his body.
"I'm Mr. Fat, here to make you sink!" One of thugs slipped from his grasp. Yuko grabbed her staff, it expanding as Tamaki grabbed the thug, his fingers turning to the tentacles of an octopus.
"What's with this octopus?!" Tamaki deflated at his words, muttering under his breath about how his words were mean.
"No, wait, that's not an insult! He's talking about how it looks!" Eijiro quickly tried to cheer him up. Tamaki straightened, bringing the male in as he placed a few attacks, rendering him unconscious.
Yuko smiled at Tamaki as he placed a foot, now turning into the claws of a bird, atop the thug's back.
Yulo looked down at the thug, as Eijiro stared in shock and awe of the older's strength.
"I wonder...if I did okay..." Tamaki muttered, which gained Yuko's attention.
"It was amazing! You were so fast and so good at using your Quirks!" Yuko sighed with a grin as Eijiro complimented the male.
"You did great Jiki." Fat looked back at them, now that the police were taking care of the thugs.
"Our Suneater's skills have long been as good as a pro's!" Yuko nodded, agreeing with hero. "He still need to work on his mental weakness, though. Right?"
The crows watching broke into cheers, specifically for the third year, which caused Yuko to grin. Tamaki began to shake, his social anxiety getting the best of him.
Yuko looked up as a shine appeared from the corner of her eye, Fatgum seeming to also notice it.
"Oh, no! Get down!" The BMI Hero shouted, two shots shouted sounded from two different areas in the crowd, Yuko and Eijiro both turning.
Eijiro stepped to block Tamaki, his skin hardened as the bullet hit him, Fatgum calling to them.
Yuko stepped beside Tamaki, raising her staff and spinning it her hand, hearing the bullet run into the metal weapon, signaling she had blocked it.
"I'll capture him!" She heard the red head declare, Yuko didn't turn to look back as she spot the one who shot at her and Tamaki. 'Two?'
The thug had black hair, with darkened skin. He too wore a suit much like the group Fat and Tamaki had just caught.
The two thugs quickly ran off, realizing their plan backfired, causing both first years to run after them. Eijiro racing after one, and Yuko after the other.
The female didn't hear the BMI Hero call out to them as she chased the black haired thug. Her crimson eyes narrowing as he began to quickly scale a wall. She followed quickly, climbing broken fire escapes, and using her staff for more momentum.
Once reaching the roof, she quickly ran after the thug. The man stopped at the edge of the roof, panting, Yuko stopping a few feet away. 'He's scared to jump.'
"That's enough, come without force, and we can end this quickly." Her voice was strong and confident, staring at the male with hard eyes. She could see him shaking as he faced away from her, staring down at the ground below.
"No...no..." The shaking adult mumbled his hands forming fists, as he clenched and unclenched them.
Quickly taking a fighting stance, her staff now connected to her belt, Yuko reached for one of her throwing knives. 'I don't know his Quirk... I need to be careful.'
The thug began to breath heavily as he slammed something into his neck, Yuko's gut instantly telling her this wasn't good. She took a careful step back, as the black haired thug snapped his head to look back at her, a crazed look on his face.
Yuko took a stance, only to quickly jump back as a hammer-type object slammed down in front of her, coming out of no where.
She looked up as the man began to laugh maniacally, mumbling about how he felt on a high and much more powerful, as yet another random hammer came down on her.
'Can he make things out of thin air?' She thought, trying to run at him, only to quickly jump back as a wall materialized in front of her.
'Guess that confirms my question...but wait...' She slid a few feet away from him, crouching as she glared at the laughing thug. 'If he was this strong, then he wouldn't have ran, unless...' She thought back to the needle he had stuck into his neck.
'Was that one of those boosting drugs that's been all over the news?' She once again jumped to the side, dodging yet another attack. 'Has to be...'
She reached for her staff, it expanding, as she clicked another button, two blades popping out on either side. 'I can't let him onto the streets, there'll be so much casualties... I'll take care of this here and now.'
"Move out of my way girly!" The drugged man grinned, staggering on his feet, his back hunched. "I have to go save my bros."
Yuko didn't speak, placing her mask over her face with a glare. 'Watch his movements...' He leaned to the left, a hammer forming above her left side, '...there.'
She ran at him, her grip tight on her staff. Jumping, she pushed herself off a wall as it materialized, pulling an attack from above as she flipped over the top.
She easily caught the adult off guard as he let out a gasp. She brought her staff down, knicking his side as he tripped over his feet.
Landing in front of him, she threw a punch at his chin, he falling back with a groan-like scream. The drug seemed to wear off as she placed her foot on his stomach, -though she didn't put a lot of pressure- pointing the staff at him, he freezing in place.
"Don't move." She ordered strongly, her crimson eyes hard. The man listened, he staying frozen in place.
"Doragon!" She heard Fatgum from below, causing her to look back, barely able to see over the edge as she made sure to keep a close eye on the thug below her.
"Up here!" She called, looking back at the man who began to cry. 'Really?' She thought blankly, as the door across the roof opened, police officers making their way over.
Yuko stepped away, returning her staff to normal, before placing it on her belt as the officers cuffed the man.
"Excuse me!" The teen looked up, finding the voice came from the building across from them, a few people looking at her through their windows.
"You were amazing!" A woman commented.
"I could tell you were keeping him from going into the streets! Thank you!" Yuko blinked as a man was the next to speak, before a grin took over her face as she nodded.
"What's your name?"
"Doragon. I'm Doragon!" She answered, earning more shouts of compliments from the onlookers, her grin growing.
"Thank you Doragon!"
"I'll be rooting for you hero!"
Fists formed at her sides, she bowed a smile on her face, "thank you!"
She did good.

"They powered up...?" Yuko nodded as she stood beside Eijiro.
"That drug's banned in Japan, right?"
"Based on how short the effects lasted, it must've been an inferior version made in Asia. The ones made in the U.S. last an hour or two." Fat explained.
"You know a lot about it! Wow!" Eijiro awed.
"In the past, I'd work with the coppers and catch guys like that all day."
"Fat!" An officer called, running towards them, " about the gun the guys fired--" He held up a bag, containing pieces, of what Yuko assumed was the gun.
"It's been broken into pieces by someone's Quirk. Also, this isn't a normal gun. Anyway, I'll investigate and report back."
"Thanks for goin' out of your way to let me know." Yuko turned to face both Eijiro and Tamaki, her attention mainly focused on the dark haired third year.
"Are you all right?" Eijiro questioned Tamaki, before the female could.
The elf-eared male pulled his hood to cover his face, as he whispered, "it sucks."
"To make it so you can't use your Quirk..." Eijiro trailed, "what a terrible way to treat a hero!"
"It is, but I doubt that they cared." Yuko nodded at the red head.
"More importantly, you guys defended me. Just like Mirio, you two are people who shines brightly, like the sun." Yuko shook her head at the male's words.
"If you're going to say that, then you're like the sun, too, for introducing me to this place!" Eijiro quickly countered.
"Yeah! You're amazing Jiki!" Yuko agreed, "plus I think I'm more like the night." She winked.
"Just like that. You two are amazing, you know." Yuko pursed her lips in a pout.
"So are you, you know!" She grinned, "you're Suneater after all!"
They were interrupted as Fat turned to them, "why don't we have them take a look at you at the hospital? There's something I want to investigate there, too. Why don't we stop by the agency first and then go?"
"Okay." Tamaki agreed.
"Yes, sir!" Yuko and Eijiro chorused.
{·}{}{·}
Yuko sighed, leaning back in her chair, looking back at Eijiro, he too seeming to relax in his seat.
"Kirishima, Toshiro, hey!" Denki called to the two, they looking up at him, as he held a phone his to them, switching between showing the male and female.
"Your names! Your hero name's in the news online! Wow!" Denki shouted.
The yellow-blond began to read the head-line, excitement and awe located in his tone. "'Newcomers Sidekicks Red Riot and Doragon Bursts onto the Scene! From their first day, they take responsibility for the citizens and fight villains by themselves." That's what it says!" Yuko stood from her seat walking over to the two.
On the page were two pictures showing the fights she and Eijiro had participated in. From the other side of the room, Mina was showing the same thing to Ochaco and Tsu, showing their debut page.
The dragon rider didn't even notice someone had taken a picture of her fight, that night she didn't even know there was people watching.
"Even if they only have provisional licenses, once they start working in town, they're heroes the same." Tenya spoke, his arms crossed over his chest, "remarkable service!"
Yuko jumped slightly when his attitude took a change, "however! A student's duty is to study! You can't doze off in class!"
"Right, Iida! We're prepared!" Eijiro shouted, Yuko laughing.
"Right?" Eijiro questioned.
"Right!" She and Izuku agreed.
"You said your schoolwork was in trouble, are you okay now?" Denki questioned the red head, his hands behind his head.
"The teachers said they'd set up supplementary lessons for me." Eijiro answered.
"Maybe I should've gone, too..." Hanta sighed, "it seems tough to do both at once..."
Momo approached the male, "everyone learns at their own pace."
"That's absolutely right!" Denki instantly agreed, quite happily.
Yuko looked over at Izuku, finding him spacing out, staring down at his hand. She stepped up to him, poking his cheek, "hey, hey, ya' good?"
Izuku looked at her, backing away in surprise, "yes! I'm fine." Izuku dismissed, Yuko tilted her head at the male, before shrugging.
"Okay, if you say so."
