Nabu Island was a small tropical island south of Japan with a small community of around 1,000 civilians living peacefully with very few interactions of Villain activity. The Hero Agency there usually helps with small details like community service or lost-and-found as like I had said earlier, Villains rarely attack there.
That is where the class of 1-A would be going to get some more Hero training. Most of the group, like Mineta, Kaminari, Tohru, and Mina were looking forward to possibly having fun at the beach after they have completed their work credit. Others, like Bakugou, did not think this was great as he believed he was too 'awesome' to do petty work and wanted to blow real Villains to smithereens. He would have refused if his homeroom teacher hadn't threatened a humiliating house arrest. That, and his girlfriend would torment him with her hidden Quirk.
They had to get to the island first, and the only way to get to Nobu Island was by boat and since it is isolated they will be in open waters for several hours. The group will have some time to relax and enjoy the view…except for one.
Kaminari Denki was feeling nauseous. The butterflies became bees when he found out the only way to the island is by boat, and they will be in open waters where they won't be able to see Japan or any other island until then.
Don't get him wrong, he loves traveling and going to new places, however, he and salty water are not the best of friends, been like this since age five. He walked inside to have a room where there was little access to any windows, sat against the wall, and put his headset on full blast to avoid the sound of the ocean and seagulls, taking deep breaths to try to calm his nerves but his mind already knew what was going on.
"We haven't even left port, dammit." Kaminari said and a shuddering breath forced itself out of his lungs. He was starting to feel panicked and tears started to form on the edges around his eyes. "All this fear because of the stupid sea."
Just then he felt the ship lurch and a few moments later his stomach clenched like he got hit by All Might's Detroit Smash. "Oh, no-urp!" Kaminari immediately got up as his mouth started to build the lubrication for the purge, barely making it in time to reach the toilet in his room.
Meanwhile, Bakugou and Ophiuchi were traveling along the cabin halls heading towards the cafeteria to get something to eat. It also so happens that Ophiuchi was starving as it has been 2 weeks since her last meal.
"I'm starving, I hope they have a good variety of eggs. Too bad I can't feast on frogs and lizards." Ophiuchi said and had a look of a ravenous beast with her tongue flickering as if hunting for her next meal. "I had to change my diet so as to not scare Tsuyu, poor thing."
Bakugou clicked his tongue and tried to curb the unpleasant taste in his mouth when his girlfriend mentioned her diet. He will never get used to this, that much for sure, but he still fell for her charms anyways. "Well, you are on top of the food chain so to speak, but you have a serpent mutation quirk, it is a part of you."
Ophiuchi looked back at the blonde and flicked her tongue, sensing that he was uncomfortable, so she changed tactics. "Correction, my mutation came from my family quirks, my actual Quirks are Silk Touch and Subspace, as you unwillingly found out about my latter."
Bakugou stiffened as he was reminded of her forcing this 'hidden' Quirk on him when he was refusing to stay at the dorms when he became ill. She made him submit to her will and he hated the fact that someone tamed him to the point that he cannot resist, just like Shinzou's Brainwash, however, hers was more aggressive as she uses commands like an Alpha to Omega.
He was mad as hell that was for sure, but once she released the hold when Bakugou recovered she looked very remorseful and apologized painfully before putting distance between them. He chalked it up to her being afraid of retribution, but later he found out that with something that powerful there was a serious Rebound for both of them. The blonde eventually forgave her, and after a while Lord knew how it happened they had started dating. I guess even shitheads deserve romance at some point.
They had walked past a door when they heard someone vomiting on the other side of it, causing the duo to look at it in surprise or disgust. It was then followed by moans of discomfort and someone falling hard on the floor.
Ophiuchi flicked her tongue and immediately went into medical mode. It was Kaminari, and he was in a lot of distress with the scent particles she was picking up. She slithered towards the door and knocked on it. "Kaminari? It's Ophiuchi, you ok?" She heard Kaminari move and after a few seconds the door unlocked and he had opened the door.
"H-hey," Kaminari said quietly, and immediately red flags were flying in their brains when they noticed his demeanor.
"Jesus, Dunce Face, you look like you are about to keel over," Bakugou said and walked over to him. He wasn't lying, the bright blond teen looked like he would croak.
"I-I'm fine." Kaminari huffed and tried to get his breathing in order, but he was starting to panic again. "I-I'm just not a fan of l-long boat r-rides."
Ophiuchi looked at him in concern and activated her Silk Touch to try to calm him down. She didn't need to flick her tongue to see he was suffering from a panic attack. "Shhhh, Kaminari it's ok, it's only a short ride." She then curled herself and sat the Electric teen on her coils, causing some muscle movement to help with the calming process. "Bakugou, can you bring some damp towels and if possible get to the cafeteria, I need to be here."
Bakugou nodded and did not try to fight it, he could tell that Kaminari needed special attention to get his mind off the trip. Speaking of which…"You planning the latter?"
"Only if this doesn't help." Ophiuchi replied, and after a nod from Bakugou he closed the door to get the items she requested and possibly more.
The Serpentine Heroine looked back at her charge and saw more tears fall from his cheeks and it made her sad, seeing a most energetic kid look so scared and vulnerable. But she needed to comfort him and not make him think of the long ride, so he needed to be distracted.
"W-what did Bakubro mean 'planning the latter'?" Kaminari asked, suddenly curious at what the Explosive blonde meant.
Ophiuchi smiled, glad that he had found something to distract him. "Did you know I have 2 unrelated Quirks?" She said softly and continued to use her Silk Touch to lightly graze his skin, feeling the tingle of his Quirk trying to let loose. "You already know my Silk Touch, which is great for therapy or acupressure, but another is more mental."
That perked Kaminari up as he gave a look of curiosity. He sniffed. "What is the other Quirk? Why haven't you shown it to any of us?"
Ophiuchi looked sad and answered truthfully. "I don't like people knowing it due to my past of being hunted, but the name of my other Quirk is called Subspace."
"What does it do?"
He shifted closer to her cool body, still looking at the serpentine with a child-like curiosity then jolted when he heard a knock on the door, bringing him back to reality. Bakugou opened the door and had some moist towels presoaked and a large basket of sandwiches, eggs, and drinks.
Bakugou noticed the electric blonde curl further into his girlfriend and was about to snap when Ophiuchi hissed at him with a frequency telling him to stop. "I brought some orange juice and breakfast for all of us. And the towels are pre-soaked with a little bit of lavender."
"Thank you," She smiled and took the towels and put one of them on Kaminari's forehead. He closed his eyes on reflex and breathed in the calming scent. She then continued the conversation.
"Subspace is a mind Quirk where with a command I can force someone into an astral plane where the body is still in this world. It is like Shinzou's quirk but it is much harder to break and I can activate it at any time."
Kaminari looked confused then started to break it down at what he understood. "So you are saying, once your Quirk is triggered you force someone's spirit out of their body and send it to another dimension of sorts and the body will do whatever you say once the command is given?"
Ophiuchi chuckled nervously while Bakugou gave an involuntary shudder from the background. "Pretty much, like I separate your will from the body."
Kaminari looked in thought, then remembered a certain incident from Bakugou when he was ill. He knew he was fighting not to miss class but he looked like one misstep was going to send him to the hospital. "You used it on Bakubro."
Ophiuchi jolted and Bakugou released a small blast and blew the sandwich in his hands to dust. That confirmed his suspicions.
"Can you use it on me?"
Ophiuchi looked down at Kaminari and looked like he was at his limit, and personally, she herself thought that he will not handle another panic attack, and the ride will be 6 hours. "Are you sure? You are giving me permission to put you under a submissive hold?"
Kaminari nodded, knowing the risk of losing control of his body. Frankly, he is scared but is willing to do it, he is trusting his friend with his well-being as she did for Bakugou. "Yes, you know it is bullshit on what you said will be a short ride. Maybe this might help."
Ophiuchi nodded and curled them both onto the bed. "Ok, you will feel weird like you are floating or high at first, but once you get comfortable you will stay in subspace until I will release it, which I will do when we get to the harbor. You will still eat and drink when I command you, but you will stay here in the cabin."
Kaminari nodded, giving her consent.
That was her cue to activate her secondary and stared at him with a look of power. "Sopor."
The effect was immediate as he suddenly fell asleep in the serpentine's arms. It went off without a hitch, now he will be like this for the rest of the ride. Ophiuchi sighed and thanked Bakugou as he gave her some orange juice and a couple of whole eggs. She opened her mouth and swallowed the eggs whole and took a few sips of her juice.
Bakugou looked at her with surprise and had to put a hand over his pants as he watched her down those eggs without breaking them. What would it be like if she could down him? He thought, then blushed when she saw him looking and licking her lips like she was mind reading him.
"Why don't we try that AFTER we finish the Hero Training, maybe that will be a good incentive for you to behave?"
Bakugou blushed even further, but his eyes were wide with excitement. "Is that a challenge?"
Ophiuchi looked at him with a more ravenous stare. "How well you perform will determine how much of you I will devour."
"...Fuck it, I will take that challenge."
