Chapter 6: New Job, New Hero

Well, I planed to post this on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, but I finished it early and I wont be able to get on the computer those days. So Hope no one minds that the next chapter came out today.

I don't own any MHA characters, I only own my OC. I'm sorry if anyone is OOC, I'm trying not to make them that way.

"Speech" 'thought'

5:30 a.m.

Abeck was leisurely walking toward the UA campus. She had thought about Nezu's proposal nearly nonstop, mainly because she was awake almost 24/7 and had nothing else to do. Now she was on her way to give them her answer on whether or not she would teach there. She had thought about it for nearly three days and is still not completely sure of what to do.

Getting to the gate she walked through and started to look around for the 'sensors'. Turns out they were everywhere at the front gate. Well the door usually is the first place anyone tries to enter through, so the security measures make sense. Walking past the stone faces and giant statue, she went to one of the three doors. Staring at them for a while, the platinum blonde released she had no idea where she was going.

'Ugh, I should have paid more attention to the path I was lead on last time I was here,' frustration laced her voice and she walked through a door with a large number 1 on it, 'or at the very least, asked for directions… and did they seriously leave the doors unlocked?' The inside was far bigger than she thought.

Five minutes passed, then ten, soon a whole hour had gone by just from wandering around the building. Why the school needed to be this big was anyone's guess. If this school was as popular as everyone made it out to be, then there must be a lot of people who want to get in when there is such a small acceptance rate. Not to mention there had to be only a certain number of teachers that worked here, so what are all the rooms for?

Eventually, Abeck found a room that had a sign reading 'Breakroom' and went inside. Collapsing on the couch that was against one wall, she waited for someone to realize she was there. Sadly, sleeping wasn't an option. Before coming here, she just needed to drink five cups of coffee. In retrospect it was not a good idea, coffee was one of those drinks that stalled her fire breath and made her feel cold.

'When is the school day supposed to start?' The bell rang just as that thought passes through her mind, 'I guess it starts now.' A nearby clock said 6:50, people were moving around outside the door, and it sounded like a stamped with all the noise they were making. A few minutes passed, and another bell rang, 'Are they all in class now? I suppose there's only one way to find out…but I don't feel like moving.'

Thirty minutes of random thoughts later, the door finally opened. Abeck turned to look at the new comer, and it was someone she had never met before. The guy had a large muscular build with canine teeth, short spiky hair, and an x shaped scar under his left eye as well. Once the man's eyes had landed on her, he nearly jumped into a defensive stance and demanded "who are you?!"

The lady on the couch, who had not moved since she first got there, gave a long groaning sigh but otherwise did not answer. The guy demanded she answer the question as he took another step forward. He was barely spared a glance, but the clock had Abeck's full attention. She glared at it as the one she called K9 pulled out his phone to call someone. He hung up when the conversation was over and turned back to the infiltrator.

"Are you going to talk or not?" his voice was deep and impatient, as if he wanted answers from her now. The girl he was talking to however, groaned some more yet did nothing. K9 was starting to get impatient, but deciding to wait, he sat on a chair and watched Abeck closely. She started get bothered by his gaze resting on her and even considered throwing that table at him.

The door slid open, and a cheerful "Oh good, you're here!" could be heard from the doorway. Abeck turned to look at who ever entered, and K9 looked surprised when Nezu walked in apparently knowing the platinum haired lady who broke in. Ratatouille hoped up on to the table and did introductions, "Sekijiro, this is Abeck, Abeck this is Kan Sekijiro also known as the pro hero Vlad King."

For the fist time Kan heard Abeck speak, "Ya, and he's certainly a ray of sunshine." She pushed herself up and Kan didn't look very happy. Giving a long yawn, the dragon settled into her set and looked ready to fall asleep.

"Have you considered my question?" Vlad King asked about the question and the principal explained Abeck's offered position here. He appeared somewhat surprised and was concerned about that being a good idea. Abeck, who had been silent thus far, nearly laughed when Nezu said "She seems trustworthy enough." A short time later, attention was turned to the human beast.

"I thought about it," she sighed out, "and I have decided to take you up on your offer. I've had almost every other job imaginable, so how hard can teaching be?" Vlad responded with a very, and Nezu appeared pleased that she had agreed to join the faculty. He told her about the students at the school, how they got in, and the classes considering she said she had no idea how thing worked on the campus. Both pros gave her a tour and Vlad tried to be friendly to the person he was still unsure about.

Once the tour was done, Nezu explained that all the teachers at the school were pros, so it was recommended that she became one as well. After much debating, Abeck finally agreed only if there wasn't much to do.

There was; the next day she had picked up Nezu at UA before drive to some building to get her hero license, and there was a lot of work to do. First were a ton of questions about her, her 'quirk', what it does, where she comes from, etc. Then she needed to give a demonstration, as well as explain why her arm was wrapped up. The former was done hesitantly, and nearly gave everyone a heart attack, but she out right denied explain why her arm was like that. After the demonstration, no one questioned her when she denied to answer certain questions. Later she needed to do mountains of paper work, chose a hero name, design a costume, get an id, and more.

By the time everything was finally over, she just wanted to leave and rest at home. The principal and newly registered hero got in the car . On the way back there were many people leaving work, so the drive took a while. Abeck spent most of that time ranting to herself about the long and boring process that is becoming a hero. According to her, this traffic was preferable to spending half the day answering questions and filling out papers.

By the time they got back to UA, the school day had already ended. Nezu said there was a staff meeting and asked if Abeck would join after seeing that she hadn't moved since the car stopped. Her response was no, she wanted to go home and rest. She said that she would be there tomorrow to do whatever, but for now a rare sleep sounded like a good idea. The principal accepted her answer and went inside while she drove home.

Arriving at the house, Abeck parked the car, went inside, said hi to her pets, but her arm on the table, and went to her bedroom. The room was large, dark and damp. Several concrete pillars, that were reinforced with steel, stood in a circle in the middle of the room. Each one had thick chains attached to it. The space around the pillars was empty aside from the occasional animal remains or patches of fur. This room wasn't used very much considering Abeck never slept and produced bad memories.

She went to the center of the pillars and picked up the chains. The shackles on the end seemed capable of holding anything down. She found the key and hid it before chaining herself up. There was even a muzzle placed around her mouth. Only when full chained up did she lay down and try to sleep. It took a while, but eventually exhaustion over came her and she fell into a deep slumber.

In the dream, Abeck was in the middle of a cave, laying in a puddle of blood. Sharp pains shot from around her body where giant cuts and stab wounds were located. 'A memory,' the thought sounded worried and depressed. Her body moved on its own, attempting to stand up without any given consent. When it succeeded, it limped towards a wall opting to ignore the injuries. Before getting near, something tackled her to the ground and pinned her face down on the cold stone floor.

The thing's speech was intangible, but it clearly didn't want her to move. It grabbed her left arm and made another threat as her body tried moving again. Anything Abeck tried, to either stop her unresponsive body or wake up, failed. Everything about the nightmare felt real, like it was being relived. What happened next, made the remembrance as vivid as when it happened. The thing pinning her ripped her left arm straight out of her body. There was a blood curtailing scream, and everything became fuzzy. The cave was engulfed in flames, the thing escaped, and a dragon's roar could be heard before darkness took over.

Abeck woke up, still chained, but drenched in sweat. Her back grew some scale patches and the muzzle was slightly melted. She laid on the floor for a while before finding the key and getting unchained. She left the room to find a clock, the one in the hall said 5:30. '12 hours, that's more than what I got in the last few months at least.' The positivity didn't last very long after remembering sleep will be hard to get over the next few days. So, she went down stairs to get cereal, pop tarts, three pounds of raw meat, and of course coffee for breakfast.

She left at six to walk to her new job, which was a few miles away but by running she got there in about ten minutes. Nezu had given her a special id that allowed her on to campus even though she didn't actually need it. On account of all the students around the entrance, Abeck took another door inside and immediately went to the offices for the faculty. Opening the door, she saw many cluttered desks as well as a white board covering one wall. The only one currently in the room was Thirteen, most likely trying to finish up with some work.

Walking behind him, Abeck made herself known, "What are you doing?" Thirteen fell out of his chair in surprise. His breath was fast and Abeck frowned, 'Oh come on, I'm not that scary.'

"O-oh, Abeck, it's you. You surprised me a little." He stood up a sat in the chair again, "I didn't hear you come in."

She sighed, "Need any help?" Her new co-worker looked as surprised as possible with a helmet on his head, but ultimately said he did. Abeck took half of the stack that was being graded, sat down across from the space hero, and began working. They sat in silence for a while before Thirteen tried to start a conversation as they were grading. He started asking questions mainly about her hero identity. She said she would be known as Krosis. She would not be wear a special costume and is instead sticking with her normal cloths. When asked why she replied that it's what she's used to, and that a costume would get in the way of fighting. She went on to explain how when someone wasn't adjusted to their clothing, it would be bad in combat situations. It could get caught on something, restrict movement, restrict some quirk usage, and how even a capture weapon, such as Aizawa's scarf, could be used against them. However, she did say she would consider using a costume in the future.

By the time all the papers were graded, it was 6:30. Thirteen need to prepare for class, so he took his leave. Abeck sat around looking at her phone for a while until deciding to find Ratatouille. By this time, everyone was in class, so she got to the principal's office fairly quick due to the lack of people in the halls. Nezu greeted her when she walked in and she immediately asked if there was any work she could do. She finished everything she was helping with by seven and left.

For the next few months, that was her routine. Go to UA, help with any grading student work, do paper work for Nezu, keep away from any and all student, then go home. The teachers who had never met her before were confused as to why the principal would even consider hiring her. Abeck took very little offence to that because even she would admit her look was sketchy. The scar on her eye also seemed to freak anyone out. Even on her 'hero debut' all she needed to do was threaten the robber before they gave up.

Pretty soon, the entrance exams were coming up and everything was being prepared for that. Robots got repaired, the training cities were checked, examinee cards were made, and it was decided that Mic would be introducing the practical exam while Ectoplasm would oversee the written test. When the day had arrived, the school was overrun with potential students.

She stood near the entrance to watch everyone, there were a few that caught Abeck's eyes for various reasons. One kid had six arms that attached to look like wings. Another had vines for hair, a bird headed guy, and a pink girl with horns. Some lizard and skeleton guy walked by ten minutes after everyone started arriving. There was even a crazy pink haired girl with a lot of machines, and even a purple haired dude that resembled Aizawa.

As more people showed up, she saw one kid she recognized. The curly haired kid from the beach was here. Now where was balloon? Abeck nearly laughed when he tripped, saw a girl help him, then left. She headed to one of the training cities to chill until the practical exam started. A call from Mic told her the exam was starting, and she left the arena immediately. Going to the monitor room to watch, there was a lot of visible potential but was overall uninteresting. That is until Curly knocked out a zero pointer with one punch. He may have broken his legs and an arm, but it was certainly entertaining to watch.

The judges then voted on hero points for each student and ranked the top ten applicants. First was some dude named Bakugo, then it was Kirishima, Uraraka, the vine haired girl, Kendo, Iida, Curly, Tetsutetsu, Birdhead, and who ever Asawe was. So far, Abeck's favorite contestant was Tetsutetsu simply because of his name. She couldn't stop saying "tetsutetsutetsutetsutetsutetsutetsutetsu". However, she did see Balloon, whom she found out was All Might, in the monitor room.

All Might was the one sending out the acceptance videos, and Abeck was laughing during most of the recording sessions. She had be torn between surprised and happy to hear that she wasn't the only new faculty member joining next year. Once all the videos were sent out there was nothing to do before the start of the next year, so most of the teachers went drinking. Abeck tagged along and became one of the designated drivers because of her insanely high alcohol tolerance. The other was Aizawa who didn't drink very much.

When almost everyone was drunk, things started getting crazy. Mic and Ectoplasm had a karaoke battle, and ended up getting in to a fight over who was better at singing. Several of the teachers got into serious debates over the most stupid topics imaginable. Midnight kept trying to talk to Abeck about relationships, and every single time the R rated hero would be drenched in whatever drink her companion was holding at the time.

By eleven p.m. the UA faculty was completely out of it. Some passed out, some were still trying to drink, a table had been flipped, and Abeck was trying to get everyone to the cars with Aizawa's help. Mic needed to be knocked unconscious because he wouldn't stop talking loudly. Thirteen needed to be dragged because Aizawa was getting Snipe which left Abeck to get the space hero, and she couldn't exactly pick him up with his costume on. By the time all the drunk teachers were put into the car, it was 11:30 and everyone needed to get home.

Aizawa had driven All Might, Vlad, Mic, and Snipe while Abeck had to take Power Loader, Ectoplasm, Thirteen, and Midnight. It was one in the morning when she had finally gotten everyone home. Deciding it was still early, she took Katchi for a walk through the woods. At two, she spent some time thinking about how she would teach when the school started in a few weeks. At four, she did some sketching of various items such as a possible 'costume', another tattoo design, and a random dragon because she was bored. Leaving at six to go to work, she spent an hour walking around before actually arriving.

For the next few weeks, everything was spent in preparation for the new school year. The classes were assigned, the training cities were cleared, teaching plans were made. All Might is supposed to be the general hero training teacher, so Abeck will be covering anything he doesn't, as well as a few other thing. What she will be teaching may vary depending on her mood, but there is no way she would tell anyone that.

Time flew by like a diving falcon, and before anyone knew it, the first day of school had arrived.

I'm still debating if she should just teach anything anyone needs to work on, or focus mainly on fighting and quirk usage. But I'll figure it out. For now, see ya.
