When Carter had returned from the nurse's office, he found a HUGE crowd in-front of the class's door. He managed to slip through the mass of students, and made his way back to his desk, so as to gather his things for the next period.
But, Carter noticed that class 1-A was obviously nervous about all the people watching them from the hallway. Then, the time came to leave for the next class. And suddenly, a boy with purple hair spoke out to class 1-A. Essentially, he was declaring "war" on the class, and going on about how we got too much attention after the attack on the USJ. When the purple haired boy finished, Bakugo walked up to him and proclaimed, that if you don't aim for the top, you don't deserve to be a hero, or something like that. This elicited a frustrated response from the entire crowd outside the door. As well as a response of respect for his statement, from Kirishima.
The temperamental boy's words seemed to phase everyone, except Carter. The only reason he did not care as much as the other, was largely because he was not there to be a hero like them. He was there to keep an eye on the students of class 1-A, above all.
As Bakugo left, carter followed behind him. And as he walked through the crowd, he said, "sorry, for his temper. But he is correct, on some level…" he continued to walk to his next class.
The day continued as normal, except for Carter showing his knowledge of english(DUH he is american), until lunch came around.
Carter, Izuku, Iida, and Uraraka, all sat at the same table. As soon as Carter took a bite of the school food, he suddenly said, "Oh my god, I will never get over how great the food is here!". To this Izuku said, "well, the food is made by the pro, food, hero."
"I know that, but all my life so far, I have eaten foods, that are tasteless, pastes. Sometimes I have had the occasional burger, but I can only think of having one, three times before. But this school's food trumps ALL of that!" Carter responded. "Wait, you've only eaten nutrient, and calorie, supplements before!?" Uraraka unexpectedly asked. She continued with, "Why would your parents deny you any "real" foods?" To which he replied, "Well, my family has never been big on relaxing, or luxuries, or pleasures, like foods that taste good. They have always focused on the things we NEED, like the calories, the nutrients, etc."
"That seems logical, but it still sounds rather dreadful, to have no idea what it is like to eat various foods." Iida said, as he butted in to the conversation.
Carter responded to iida by saying, "Yeah, they believe that, if it is not NEEDED, then it is unimportant."
"Well, that still sounds like a miserable life." Uraraka said.
Carter then said to her, "Well, It is not that big of a deal, really. But, it is not miserable, persay. But just , "dull" at times. Besides, they all have good intentions, and motivations, at heart. And the work we do is fulfilling enough to make it all worth while. It is not that they are cruel, but that they are good people, with overly-logical approaches to some things." Carter put on a nervous smile, hoping that the conversation would either, end or change subject.
"Wait, what does your family DO anyway? OOH! Are they heros, like Iida's?!" asked Uraraka.
Internally screaming, Carter thought to himself, 'oh shit. Why did she have to ask me that! No, no it's fine. I can do this, I can avoid further exposing the brotherhood. Yeah, I got this.'
Carter looked at Uraraka and said, "Not exactly, but we do work for a big organization, focused on the needs of the people! The organization, is… complicated, to say the least."
"Wow! It sounds like your family is made up of heros. Well, heros who work behind the scenes. Am i right? Are they like, politicians and business managers, or something like that?" uraraka asked.
Carter began to think to himself, 'oh shit, this is getting out of hand. Gotta' find a way to change the subject!'. Carter then responded with, "W-Well, yes and no. hehe… uhm, well we do work behind the scenes, but not like that, exactly." He was scratching the back of his head, and his eyes were widened with fear.
"Well, it sounds like it is too complicated to explain during a single lunch break! Am i correct Carter-kun?" Iida asked, as he swiped his right hand in a stiff, downward motion, pointing at carter.
"Exactly!" carter yelped, thankful that someone had saved his ass a second time. "Y-yeah, guys. I-I would rather wait till' there is a-adequate time to explain! You guys understand, right?" He quickly said.
The three of them agreed. But, after a few minutes of silence, Izuku asked, "so, carter-kun."
"Yes, Midoriya-kun?" Carter replied.
"W-well, I wanted to ask you something. About something you said earlier, if you don't mind?" izuku continued.
"Okay, so out with it, man." said Carter.
"Well, uhm, earlier you said something about that animus-thing. Something about, "Genetic-Memories". What did you mean by that?" Izuku asked, to the horror of Carter.
Carter then said, "Oh, uh. Well, it would be better if that question waited till tomorrow, Midoriya-kun. Sorry for being so vague, and not answering your question. but , it will be better for you to wait till then. Is that fine with you?"
To which Izuku replied(I'll be it, very disappointed), "oh, well that's fine. I guess, I can wait till tomorrow. That is ok carter-kun."
"Great! I promise to clear things up then, guys!" Carter said, relieved with the time he had bought.
The school day carried on as normal. Then the hero training class began…
"I AM HERE!" All Might shouted, as he entered the classroom. The entire class seemed to respond to his entrance with excitement, and glee.
Once the class had gone silent, All Might Began to speak, "Hello boys and girls! Today's lesson in Hero-ing 101, will be rescue training! Since the first time was so rudely interrupted, You all will be doing the lesson this time!"
The class responded with more excitement than Carter had expected. He had read the report on the USJ attack, that the brotherhood had filed, but he thought that the students would be reluctant to go back. But, he was wrong, they all seemed to be perfectly fine with going back to the facility.
Then, All Might said, "Okay class! Now, remember, your hero costumes are optional. So, you don't have to wear them, but i believe you could learn to better work WITH your costumes, so as to better your performance with them on! So go get changed into your suit, or your training uniform. We leave in 15 minutes!" everyone rushed to the changing rooms, except for carter. Once everyone had changed, and lined up outside in front of the bus, Iida realized the missing class-mate, "Hey, where is Carter-kun? Does anyone know where he is?" he asked.
"Don't worry guys! I'm right here!" came a familiar voice, from behind the group.
As class 1-a turned around, they were greeted by a truly unexpected sight. Carter was wearing a outfit consisting of: a Great-coat, a grayish-green uniform underneath, a plethora of leather pouches, a set of y-straps, a metal pauldron on his left shoulder, and a imperialist Pickelhaube. (picture of a pickelhaube:
"What the, Carter! Whats with the weird costume?!" Uraraka shouted playfully.
As he walked up to the group, he said, "Oh this? This is just my way of honoring my heritage. It is based off of a early, german foot-soldier. The Biggest carryovers are the, pickelhaube-" he pointed to his cap, "-, and the clothing underneath the great-coat. The rest, is just practical equipment. Like armor, pouches, a bag, etc."
"Wow, I thought you were from the United States?" Mineta interrupted.
Carter snapped at him in english, with, "I AM YOU IDIOT!"
He then continued in japanese, "for your information, shorty. A LARGE portion of the caucasians in the US are of GERMANIC descent."
"Can we get going, already? We have run out of time guys." Carter added. He then looked to Iida, gesturing for him to direct the class onto the bus.
Iida realized, that carter was right! "He is correct classmates! Let's get on now, U.A. waits for nobody!"...
During the bus ride, to the USJ, Carter was keeping relatively quiet. He was pondering how he would explain his only ability, that was unique to him but not at all a quirk. His parents always referred to it as, "the sense" Or, It was called, "the eagle's sense" by his fellow assassins. He could only hope to avoid using it in an obvious manner, which would be very hard to fail at.
"I mean, it only affects my vision. So i shouldn't be worried." Carter mumbled. He said it, just loud enough, to remind his classmates that he was present. Thus, Asui asked him, "So, Carter-kun-"
He interrupted with, "I prefer you just call me carter. Sorry, but I won't be able to keep up with the honorifics much longer Asui-chan."
"Oh, well anyways, I wanted to ask you how you know so much about germany? Ribbit." Asui replied.
"Well, I just have a fascination with history, overall. The most interesting things you will ever hear about, can be found inside a history-book, atlas, and even documents of events." he responded.
He then sat up straight and looked at her with a slight grin, "From the ghost battalion, to the last stand of the samurai, at Shiroyama. It all just fascinates me. I can't really explain past that. Heh, sorry if that was underwhelming." he said
"OH MY GOD! SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU DAMN FROG! AND YOU TOO YOU FUCKIN NORMEE!" Bakugo suddenly shouted. He was then met with the cold, and almost evil, eyes of Carter.
"Oh my god, do you ever speak in a normal tone, and volume? Secondly, That insult makes no sense, whatsoever. You numbskull, pint-sized fatman." Carter said in a monotone voice. He caught the attention of the rest of the students, with his insult of Bakugo. Bakugo then reacted with more of his trademarked yelling.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY NORMEE!?"
"I said, AGHEM! That insult makes NO sense. If 80% of the world is quirked, and I ain't. then I am ABNORMAL. Also, My remark towards you was in reference to the larger atomic bomb that was dropped on this beautiful nation. In short, I just called you a mass of pure destruction, nothing else. Including, SELF-Destruction." Carter said. Kirishima butted in, saying, "Hey, hey, guys! We don't have to get so aggressive. That is seriously NOT manly!"
Carter replied, "I am truly sorry Kirishima, I should not let myself get sucked into such quarrels. I apologize to you all. Including Bakugo." He bowed to kirishima, next the rest of the bus, then he bowed to blond-haired, boy.
Then, All Might said, in his booming voice, "Get ready students! Why you ask? BECAUSE WE, ARE, HERE! ARRIVING-AT-THE-USJ-ON-TIME!" (his final sentence ran together, as if it were a single word)
To be continued...
