-Kaera/Rose's POV-

"You're late," Endeavor's irritated growl was not even hinting at being tired.

Seriously? I thought to myself, It's too early for this crap…

"It's 6:02. Those two minutes were from the ridiculously long walk from the front gate to here," I retorted, not wanting to fully argue with the guy, but also not wanting to let him intimidate me.

"I don't care about your excuses. It's time to start your training! You can start with twenty laps to and from the front gate!" Endeavor ordered. I swallowed back a growl as I jogged off.

After my laps were done, I immediately collapsed on the ground, panting heavily. Did I mention that I'm really out of shape? Because I am. Before, I could really catch my breath, a terrible pain erupted on my left arm, and I jumped to my feet, yelping in pain.

"Your instincts need work. Also, your body should be immune to flames with your quirk!" Endeavor barked. That's when I realized what had happened.

"Did you just shoot a fireball at me?!" I asked angrily, glaring up at the flame faced man who now had a small smirk on his face. Without warning, said man shot another fireball at me. This time, I managed to avoid it mostly, though it did slightly graze my right ankle.

"We're going to keep doing this until you either resist my flames or use your quirk to dodge them," Endeavor informed as he mercilessly shot another fireball at me, this time aiming straight for my face. I panicked, and my quirk activated on its own. With one of my wings, I batted the fireball back.

"Are you trying to kill me?!" I yelled as my staff materialized in front of me, and I grabbed it, once again burning my hand in the process, though it wasn't as painful as the previous time.

The only response I got was another fireball shot at me followed by Endeavor shooting himself into the fair and throwing a punch, hitting me square in the face. I let out a screech of pain as I heard a crack and felt hot blood spray from my nose. My screech was cut off by a punch to my stomach, causing me to spit up blood.

This asshole is actually going to kill me! I thought as the air was once again knocked out of me as I landed hard on my back onto the ground.

"Endeavor! What the hell are you doing? She has no combat training or experience! You're going to kill her!" I heard a familiar voice boom, only for once it sounded legitimately….angry?

"T-Toshinori?" I mumbled, slowly opening my eyes to see him in his All Might form standing protectively in front of me, his usual smile barely there and obviously forced.

"All Might? Why are you here? I was put in charge of training the woman. You have no reason to be here!" I heard Endeavor bark back at him. A wet cough escaped me as blood spewed from my lips, catching All Might's attention. Instantly, he was kneeling beside me, lifting me up bridal style.

"Endeavor, she's had enough for today. She's got a broken nose, and she's coughing up blood. I'll bring her to resume training tomorrow," All Might stated firmly, his smile staying forced. By now, my quirk had deactivated on its own.

Frustrated with the situation and wanting to stand up for myself, I forcefully activated my quirk to just enough to summon my staff. Gritting my teeth, I reached out and grabbed it, shifting my weight out of All Might's arms, using my staff to help me stand up.

"H-hey, Flameface," I called out activating my wings as I looked up at him and wiped the blood from my nose and mouth, "We're not done yet, right? What kind of student would I be if I quit just because things got a little tough?" And with that, I launched myself at Endeavor, swinging my staff as hard as I could, which honestly wasn't very hard. Endeavor caught my attack with ease, and our eyes met. He gave me a smirk before releasing my staff and turning and walking away.

"That's enough for today. You cannot continue to train if you don't treat those injuries. You'll just pass out and be a useless waste of my time. Be back here tomorrow at 6am again," Endeavor said before turning and glaring at All Might, "All Might, get you and your little girlfriend the hell off of my property. And do NOT interrupt one of our training sessions again. This does not concern you."

And with that, Endeavor walked inside, and All Might came up beside me as my quirk deactivated. I felt myself begin to collapse as All Might caught me and picked me up into his arms once again. I sighed and rested my head on his chest as I took in his now familiar scent of aftershave and cedar.

"Rose," he called out, his low voice much quieter than usual for his hero form. I looked up to find his electric blue eyes staring into my emerald green ones. What I saw startled me: irritation.

"Why would you push yourself like that?! You could've gotten even more seriously hurt!" All Might scolded as he held me close and jumped into the air without warning, "Now, I am taking you to a hospital." I opened my mouth to protest as we landed in an alley, and All Might reverted to his normal form, looking pissed.

"Toshi-" I started, but he cut me off as he carried me out of the alley and towards the hospital next door.

"Rose, do not argue with me on this right now," Toshinori stated, his harsh tone, along with my fear of hospitals causing me to tear up and let out an involuntary whimper.

By now, we were in the hospital, and I was very close to a panic attack. Toshinori seemed to pick up on this and his gaze softened as he pulled me closer to him and pressed his forehead to mine, getting my attention.

"Rose," his low voice soft and caring once again, "You're going to be okay. I'll be right beside you the whole time." I glared at him and stayed silent as he took me to the front desk.

~Time Skip brought to you by my daughter trying to eat my notebook~

Long story short, I ended up having a broken nose and two broken ribs which were easily handled by a doctor with a healing quirk, though I had to be given a sedative for them to treat me. Regardless, I spent most of the glaring at Toshinori. After about two hours, I was released, the time being 2PM.

Toshinori and I walked in silence to our apartments. He kept stealing glances in my direction, while I kept my scowl focused on the road in front of me, clearly ignoring him. When we reached the apartments, I walked to my door without sparing Toshinoring a glance that is until he reached out and grabbed my wrist causing me to meet his concerned gaze with a hard stare.

"Rose, I'm sorry I snapped at you," he started, causing my gaze to soften ever so slightly, "It's just that you were hurt, and I was trying to protect you. But then you acted so recklessly and…" My gaze hardened once again as I wrenched my arm from his grasp.

"I was training, Toshinori! If I don't push myself, how the hell am I supposed to get stronger and control my quirk?" I demanded to know, anger evident in my voice, "Also, I don't recall asking you to protect me. It's not like I was being attacked by a villain. It was training with the number two hero that the head the head of the number one hero school in the country set up. I don't need you babying me!"

And with that, I walked into my apartment, slamming my door and locking it behind me as I slid to the ground, angry tears falling from my eyes. There was one thing I hated, it was being dependent on others. Also, who the hell did Toshinori think he was? I never claimed to want or need his help. The annoying part was, I had almost wanted to accept his help, and that infuriated me all the more.

I stood up with a new resolve to distance myself from the blonde hero. That way I could face this on my own, and for the first time in my life, I could become strong enough to protect others and myself.
