Hitomi sat with Kirishima and the others as Class 1-A enjoyed a barbecue with All Might. The redhead had told her everything about what had happened at the central tower, revealing that it was not a bomb that activated the security system, but a group of villains that had hacked into it.

Apparently the villains had targeted an invention created by the lead scientist of I-Island, David Shield, that was locked in the tower, said to have the power to amplify quirks. Kirishima and several other of their classmates that had been invited to the banquet all worked together with David's daughter, Melissa, to get the security system back in working order, as well as stop the villains from escaping. They were clearly successful, because everyone along with All Might was enjoying lunch together, the incident behind them.

Hitomi was having a drink of water when Mina got up from their table, which consisted of her, Hitomi, Kirishima, Bakugou, Kaminari, and Sero.

"Now that we're all done," Mina exclaimed, "it's time to explore!"

…

Hitomi trailed after what she'd dubbed the "Bakusquad", because basically everyone was just following Bakugou through I-Island, save for herself. She was just following Kirishima.

Mina and Kaminari kept pointing out the sights, making the group stop every few minutes to marvel at the attractions.

After a while, the group stopped in front of a large tent, with a sign that said "ARCADE" at the top.

"Let's go inside!" Kaminari yelled as he and the others ran into the tent.

Hitomi and Bakugou were the only ones left outside.

"After all that time pointing out those grand attractions…" the blonde muttered, "the thing those idiots wanna check out is an arcade?" He scowled, but followed them inside nonetheless.

Hitomi watched the boy enter the tent, laughing at their group's antics as she trailed after him.

…

The bluenette explored the arcade a little, taking in all the different types of games before she finally found one of her classmates.

She came up behind Bakugou, peering over his shoulder to see he was playing a fighting game of some sort.

She saw Bakugou smirk as he won, surprising him a little when she said "Looks like fun."

"Huh? Shouldn't you be with Kirishima or something?"

Hitomi let out a small laugh, scratching her cheek. "I don't know where he went. This arcade is way too big. Can… I play with you…?"

Hitomi. What are you doing.

...well, he's the only one I've found in the entire 20 minutes we've been in here, so…

Might as well entertain myself.

Bakugou turned back to the screen, saying, "Fine. But don't cry when I beat your ass."

He made room for her as Hitomi dropped some coins into the machine, prompting open the character selection screen for her.

…

Out of the corner of her eye Hitomi could see Bakugou get increasingly frustrated as his character's health dwindled rapidly, his hands starting to mash the buttons on the machine before Hitomi finished his character off with a 7-hit combo.

He made a strangled noise of anger as the game announced Hitomi as the winner, turning to the bluenette and muttering, "Rematch. Now."

"Eh?! Um, if you say so…"

They inserted more coins into the machine, picking their characters and selecting the stage.

As soon as the countdown finished, Bakugou went on the offensive, doing repeated attacks and cornering Hitomi's character to the edge of the screen.

After a few hits from Bakugou's character, Hitomi managed to get her character to jump out of the way, turning the tables and setting off combo after combo on Bakugou's character.

"The hell?!" Bakugou yelled as his character fainted. "Again?!"

Hitomi could see tick marks appear on Bakugou's face, and afraid of causing a scene, she grabbed his arm without thinking and dragged him away from the machine.

"Um! Let's go find something else."

…

Bakugou decided to make a competition out of the whole debacle, feeling so petty he challenged Hitomi to see who was better at video games.

The girl only went along with it, deciding being with someone she knew was better than ending up alone in this place.

The two had tried three different games already, Bakugou only beating her in one of them. His screaming and yelling were apparently loud enough that it caught the attention of the rest of the group, them finally regrouping and watching as Hitomi and Bakugou raced each other in Mario Kart.

Mina leaned on Hitomi's seat, cheering the bluenette on as she and Bakugou kept switching between 1st and 2nd place.

Hitomi managed to get Bakugou to slip on a banana peel, leading to her victory for the fourth time that day.

"You're surprisingly good at video games, Hitomi," Kirishima said as Bakugou kept banging his head against the steering wheel in rage.

Hitomi got up from the seat, a sheepish smile on her face as she readjusted her bag. "My older brother's studying to be a game developer. You get pretty good at them when someone keeps making you test out their games all the time."

Kaminari pulled out his phone, seeing it was already 3:30. "Shoot, we've been here for 2 hours already?! We should get going if we want to see more of the Expo."

"Yeah, better get out of here before I continue to wipe the floor with Bakugou's pride," Hitomi teased, surprising the others with her sudden boldness.

"Shut up!" Bakugou yelled as they left the arcade. "You didn't even beat me at all of them!"

"That was only because you distracted me by elbowing me with your erratic button mashing, dummy!" Hitomi argued back.

I can't beat him in a real fight, but I can at least beat him in video games...

A/N: Some more characterization on Hitomi's part! I actually had an extra chapter written that took place after her birthday (consider it a Ch. 25.5 if you will) and featured her older brother in it. It actually mentions how they play video games together because he got her a Nintendo Switch for her birthday, but I never posted it. It was SUPPOSED to be a comic, but I was camping and wrote it instead to get it out of my system. Only one person's read it.

By the way, Hitomi officially has an Instagram account! Her username is hitomi . mimii (delete spaces), where I post extra content of her, Nari, and a new OC that I haven't mentioned yet. I've also been working on their Toyhouse profiles, but those aren't finished yet.
