"… now what?"
Lights were flickering, sounds coming from the elevators announced they came to a halt. Mina and Sero looked at each other. That was it. No Simulation. No orders from Pro-Heroes. No nothing. Just the two of them.
"We are part of 'the squad', right? What would Bakugou do?"
Both imagine Bakugou rushing to the villains, screaming "die!".
"Let's check people trapped on the elevators and the restaurant."
"Yes, let's."
Mina used her acid to open the door to the lift, And Sero took both to the cabin using his tape.
"Everything's fine, people" Mina said, opening the lift's top and showing her card. "We got this."
Sero whispered to her, before getting in.
"Better get everybody on the same floor."
She nodded and Sero took both to the top floor, where they acid-opened the door, before returning to the lift cabin.
"Right, you lucky folks, you just won a trip via Cellophane Express. Who's first?"
Adults, children, calm people, panicking people, Sero took all to the last floor, thanking the torture he endured at the Camping ground. He is producing a lot of tape, and it not hurts so much as it used to.
Having everyone together on the top floor, they were glad to see an employee of the restaurant calming everyone down, offering water and places to sit.
It was then the villain was heard again.
"We got no answer. Five minutes until we vaporize other column."
Mina and Sero started to see people panicking.
"Right, people, let's calm down. Other heroes and emergency agents must be working on the lower floors, so the best is for us to stay here. We can protect everybody better." Said Mina, wondering why Sero was looking at the windows. He then returned and whispered something on her ear. Her face lighted up and She started to talk:
"So, we're Cellophane and Pinky, Almost-Pro-Heroes. Let's know ourselves better. We are students at UA, and my hobby is videogame. What everyone likes to do on their free time?" Some answers, she pressed harder "Oh, come on, you can't be so boring. Anyone into mountain climbing, and other radical sports?" A hand raised up, and Mina quickly changed the subject, while Sero got that man, spoke to him in private, pointing to a very close building.
"We are pretty good, but we're still at first year. So… can you give me a crash course on making a zip-line? Let me rephrase, a quick course. I don't want anything to crash."
"We don't have the materials. We would need a strong rope…"
Sero showed his tape.
"Granted. Moving on. How we make the seats?"
After building the rope and seats, they started moving people from one building to another. Mina at the building in danger, Sero receiving them on the other one.
"Don't worry, folks, people train us well at UA. We know what we're doing. In fact –" She got an idea and smiled. "The problems happen before we get to the school. Who here had problems with your quirks?"
She was pelased to see some hostages in her act.
"Well, my quirk is to secrete acid." She kept going "it developed when I was eight." A small pause. "At the bathroom." One or two laughs, people started to relax. Good, she thought.
"I soon became the go-to girl at home to acid-open things. Packages? Mina, open it. And I would use acid on it. Medicine tabs? Mina, open it. Deliveries from mail? Mina, open it. And, again, I would acid it." She made a pause, helping another person into Sero's zip-line "One day, my dad asked 'Mina, open the car'." Lots of laughs, now. "Once…"
At the other building, Sero was receiving the people sent by Mina.
"Right, I got you. Just step out, there. Now follow the stairs and take the lift to the ground floor, police and doctors will be waiting there."
Sero looked down. Not only police and doctors, but the Pro-Heroes are already there. Things can get messy, he just hoped…
Powerful wings cut his thoughts.
At the endangered building, Mina Ashido faced the figure of
"Hawks."
"Hello, girl. Hello, you nice people. Let's get you out of here, ok?"
The Pro Hero and the UA students finish rescuing everyone on the building, including the painter who, Sero was certain, would increase his bill to Miss Joke.
"Good Job, you two. The engineer-quirked pros will take care of the rest, fixing the building."
The praise from such a high-ranked pro hero was enough to put both in cloud nine, but the rush of the press was a plus.
What they did not expect was Hawks putting an arm in front of them and calling the microphone on himself.
"Yes, once I arrived here, the rescuing process was faster, and everybody get out of the building in safety."
After bragging some more, he ended:
"And we must thank these young provisional heroes who were in the building and handled the beginning of the rescue operation well."
If Joke liked their smiles before, she would love them now.
The next day, Sero and Mina were surrounded by their colleagues, all looking at their rescue photos, enjoying the sensation of being on spotlight.
"And more! The people at the restaurant want us as guests of honor there tonight."
LATER ON
"Are you sure, Dude?"
Sero sighed and nodded to Kaminari.
"Yes, sorry, dude. It was Mina's and Miss Joke's idea." Sighting, he looked at his and Mina's plus-ones.
Entering the restaurant, Miss Joke grabbed Aizawa's arm.
"You got good kids, Eraser."
"Hm."
"They solved the rescue situation like pros."
"Yes."
"And they have great ideas for double date, too"
"It's not a date!" shouted Aizawa, Mina and Sero. Miss Joke just laughed. It would be a fun night.
