"Denki."

"Yeah?"

"What's your family like?"

"My family?"

"Yes."

"Hm. What do you mean by that question?"

"How does your family act? Do you love them?"

"Of course I do! They're my family! Mom tends to nag a lot, and Dad tells the worst of jokes, but they're my parents! They've done a lot for me, and I'm really grateful."

"..."

"Somedays, whenever Dad's late for work, Mom hits him on the head and tells him to get a move on. But she's smiling when she does that, so it's really funny."

"..."

"Although it's pretty gross when they act all sappy in front of each other."

"..."

"You're like family, you know?"

"Really?"

"Yeah! You should meet my parents someday!"

"..."

"Raichan, I'm certain I've failed everything in life!"

"I see. So you've finally caught on."

"Hey!"

Raiden only sighed as she turned a page in her book.

It had been a week after the Entrance Exam. In that one week, Denki had become so nervous that at one point she locked him in his room by magnetically sealing the door until Denki finally tired himself out and took a nap.

The two were in the living area of their house. Raiden was laying down on the couch reading a book, while Denki anxiously paced around the room.

It made sense that he was nervous. Today was the day that they would possibly get word on whether or not they passed.

Denki sighed as he flopped onto the couch Raiden was sitting on. She didn't look up at him and continued to read her book.

"Don't worry yourself," she said. "I'm sure you got in."

Denki grabbed at his hair. "You don't know that!"

Raiden finally looked up. "Were you even counting as you fought the robots?"

Denki hesitated. "I lost count?"

Turning back to her book, Raiden sighed. "Most likely you passed your limit and forgot your number. Did you at least help some of the people around you? Like pull them away from any danger?"

Denki frowned. "Well, yeah. There was a lot of debris that trapped people. I couldn't just leave them there."

Raiden gave a small smile. "Then you passed."

"How do you know that?!" Denki exclaimed, frustrated.

Raiden set her book down and stared at the boy. "Being a hero isn't just about fighting villains, right?" Denki shook his head. "What else does being a hero involve?" Raiden said.

"Helping people in need," Denki said slowly. Raiden stared at him, waving him on.

"Oh!" Denki exclaimed. "There must've been a rescue part of the exam, right? A part of the exam where you can gain points by helping people."

"Yes!" Raiden said, gently hitting Denki's head with her book. "Took you long enough to figure out."

Denki leaned back against the sofa. "How long did it take for you to figure it out?"

"Before the exam started."

"Couldn't you have told me!"

"It was after we split up."

"Damn."

Raiden resumed reading her book while Denki stared off into space. There was silence between the two.

"Oh wait. I forgot. You might actually fail given your past with written tests."

"Raichan! For a moment I was feeling better, but now I feel worse!"

"Sorry. I was just reminding you."

"That was a reminder I didn't need."

Raiden continued to flip through the book while Denki sighed, a shadowy and depressed aura beginning to surround him. After a few minutes of this, Raiden kicked him in the ribs.

"Ow!"

Raiden snapped her book shut, setting it on the arm of the coutch, and stood. "Let's go outside." Denki blinked at her but followed her outside.

Once outside, Raiden faced Denki. "Let's spar."

Denki looked indignant and scared. "What? Now?"

Raiden nodded and beckoned to him. "Yep. Stance."

Denki awkwardly took a fighting stance and held his hands up.

"Center yourself," Raiden said. "And focus."

"I'm trying," Denki said. "Get on with it."

Raiden smirked and lunged.

In the past few years, Denki had learned some martial arts skills. Enough to face his sister in a battle that didn't end with him face planting and Raiden twisting his arm.

From inside the house, a door opened. "I'm home!" a male voice called out.

"Welcome home," Aiko's voice was heard. "The kids are outside. Raiden challenged Denki to another spar."

When a blond man came into the yard, he found Raiden holding Denki to the ground, her knee pressed on his back and her arm pulling his back roughly. She looked up as he entered. "Welcome back," she said as she pulled Denki's arm. He yelped, frantically tapping the ground. Raiden reluctantly got off of him. Denki stood, wincing.

Kaminari Hikaru smiled cheerfully. He held up two envelopes, each with a U.A. stamp on it. "Your envelopes are here."

Raiden's eyes widened, and Denki all but shrieked. He grabbed his envelope and sprinted to back into the house to his room.

Raiden rolled her eyes, but Hikaru could see hints of nervousness in her eyes. He placed a hand on her head. "You got in. I'm sure of it," he said.

Pink dusted Raiden's cheeks, and she went to her room to open the letter in private.

She sat down at her desk, staring at her letter. She could sense the piece of technology hidden in the envelope and the electric charge it gave off. With a deep breath, she opened the envelope and tilted it. A small metal disk clattered out. Raiden stared at it, waiting for it to turn on.

A few seconds later, a projection lit up on the wall from the metal disk. It was a video, a pre-recorded one. On the video was a disheveled, disgruntled-looking man with messy, shoulder-length black hair. His eyes were half-open, giving him a heavy air of tiredness. A long gray scarf was wound around his neck, obscuring the lower half of his face.

"So you passed," the man said blandly.

Oh.

The man sighed. "An impressive score. Made it through the written test with one of the highest scores. As for the practical exam. Fifty-seven villain points and eighteen rescue points. Seventy-five points overall. Second on the overall top ten."

Oh.

The man let out another sigh and looked directly into the camera. "Welcome to U.A."

When the video ended, Raiden found herself staring at the metal disk. She let out a breath. "Phew," she said.

Raiden heard yelling from Denki's room. They weren't yells of despair. They were yells of joy.

Raiden stood from her desk, intending to go over to his room to congratulate him. Before she could, the door slammed open, and Raiden was roughly knocked over to the ground as something barreled into her.

"I made it! I made it!" Denki yelled with utter, raw joy. He squeezed Raiden tightly. "I passed! We're going to U.A. together!"

Raiden awkwardly patted Denki on the back to calm him down. "Yeah. I got in too. Calm down, please."

After a few more cries of joy, Denki got off of Raiden. "So what was your score?"

Raiden sat up. "Fifty-seven villain points. Eighteen rescue points. Seventy-five points combined. Second overall."

Denki's eyes widened. "Whoa. I knew you'd get a really high score, but that's really high."

Raiden shrugged. "So what'd you get?" she asked.

He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "Thirty-seven villain points and thirteen rescue points. Without those rescue points, I don't think I would've made it."

Raiden poked his cheek. "But you made it, didn't you? You'll get stronger, and you'll be a hero."

Denki smiled widened. "Yeah. We'll get stronger together!"

A/N: Here's another chapter! So both Raiden and Denki are skilled with martial arts, though Raiden more than Denki. Raiden also likes to roast Denki from time to time. Sibling love.

With how the beginning of this chapter was worded, it's pretty obvious that the two aren't blood related.
