Chapter 7

Pile up of problems.

There were still other people to get too, but by far these two were the loudest and one of the main reasons why I can't sleep at night. It's not like I wanna come at them like that, but they haven't listened before and they aren't really considerate of the people around them. I get close to their room and I can make out what they are saying.

I now wish i didn't but i need to endure this, because if i can't handle telling my neighbors to shut up so i can actually get some sleep at night, then what am i gonna do as a hero. Knocking firmly on the door, I wait for someone to open up the door. They take forever to open a door as after five or so minutes of me banging on their door I finally hear them quite down and someone stomping towards the door.

"YEAH!? do you want?"

He was young and had a nice tan, he definitely kept in shape as his biceps flexed, it was probably for intimidation. He was kind of short for the average person so it was more funny than it should have been.

" Hi! I'm the neighbor from downstairs. I was wondering if you guys could i dont know, just keep it down. That would be great."

He smelled rancid and the rest of his room smelled just as bad. I didn't want to be here more than I had to and these guys keep adding more reasons why I don't even want to see them. He opened the door showing the surprisingly average looking interior.

"Oh yeah! You're the kid who keeps complaining all the time about me and my wife's personal business! Listen, why don't you just leave us alone?"Pulling him out of his doorway, I close his door as I see a photo of him and what I'm guessing is his friend fishing. He tries to get out of my grip as I lift him by his bare shoulders and tries hitting me to no effect as my durability is kinda high. "Listen here jackass! I'm only gonna say this once so start taking notes. I don't give a rat's ass what you do or who you do for a matter of fact! And what about it being personal business? I can hear you from across the street! Are you fucking deaf!? So do me yourself a favor and shut the fuck up before i smother you in your're sleep.I have school in the morning. People have work to go to in the morning, all of us have somewhere to be tomorrow. I haven't slept well in over four months because of you and all the other assholes in the building who need to make it my problem as well!"

I shook him the entire time he was in my hands and as soon as I was done I dropped him to the floor. He was shaking, whether it was from rage or fear. I couldn't care less, as he got up he sent a scalding glare before he rushed inside and closed the door.

"I think I might have scared him a bit."

I said before he came out and swung a bat full force into my face, before it splintered to pieces on my face."Wow you got a nice arm on you. It's nice to know all those muscles aren't for show."

He stood shocked at the turn of events and confused from it all. I would have tried to clear it up but he was the first to try and resolve things with a bat so fair game. I gave him solid punches in the gut before he went down on his knees gasping for the air that I knocked out of him.

"STOP PLEASE NO MORE!" The wife came out screaming hardly dressed but still enough to cover what is important.

"Please we don't want trouble, just tell us what you want! Just please don't hurt my beloved again."

She shockingly looks way older than her husband, and she really looked familiar and I glanced back at the photo of the husband and his friend.

"...Geez you are one guy without any limits on who you want. But besides that i just ask that we keep this whole incident quiet and you guys stay quiet today and from then on understand? If you have the Urge or something, go somewhere else at night."

They gave a quiet nod as they didn't look in my eyes, I gave one back and left to go back to my room. I know I probably could have kept a cooler head about it but I'm not smart enough to communicate to someone who doesn't want to listen. As I made it to my room I could hear the difference and I rejoiced silently. I slept soundly as my major pain went away on the first try. If something like that happens again then I at least know what to do.

And if somebody doesn't like how i did it then all i have to do is show the results.

'Man, where are all the trash cans?'

Despite being here for months it was still annoying not seeing any trash cans for close to a mile near one another. It was hard to get a lot of what I'm used to seeing or doing to just not even think about or consider until it was gone. The same was true when I went to America but I still had my dad and some other family members with me then. Everything was also greener which was obvious but there's hardly any dirt or loose patches of grass. People dressed nicer but besides some extraordinary physical features almost everyone looked like someone next to them.

Not looking where I'm going I collided with someone in front of the crosswalk.

"Hey sorry about that,I wasn't looking where i was going, anyway are you okay?"

He was a very average looking guy, the second notable being that he was pretty tall as seen when i helped him up he stood at eye level with me. The one thing that I couldn't stop staring at him for was that he had a smooth face. It bore no features and it reminded me of a clay figure that got a thumb to its face and wiped away his features.

"It's alright. Hardly a scratch on me but I should be asking you the same thing."

We started walking together as we talked with people looking at us for a bit before returning to their business. I noticed that they looked at me more often than they did to my companion.

"I've taken rougher falls where I go, bet I could say the same for you seeing as you're a UA student."

"You go to a hero school too?"

He took out a roll of candy before devouring it all in one gulp.

"That is correct, I am a proud pupil of Ketsubutsu Academy first year."

He said with a mock salute as he started marching like an old toy soldier. He kept his knees to go as high as they could before he stopped.

"Oh right, I haven't introduced myself, my bad. I'm Charlie Morozov Neizvestny, Pleased to meet you."

He reached his hand out and I took it firmly in mine.

"I'm Jonathan Garcia Martinez, Guess I have competition for the longest name huh?"

We stopped at a crosswalk and a couple of college students looked at us for a long time and giggled once and awhile. I really wanted to punch them, but I held back with a lot of self-restraint.

"You don't have to worry about that, one of these days. I'm gonna have to add someone's name to mine so better start looking at something else in the meantime."

Crossing the street, where at the sidewalk he starts moving in the opposite direction and before I could fare him well, he said. "It was nice to talk to another outsider, but unfortunately this is where we need to separate. OH! And before I go please forgive them. Most are just curious about you, that and you probably sound funny to them in that accent. Anyways see you around."

Quickly walking away after he said his peace he mixes into the crowd and I feel all the eyes that are on me right about now. It was easier to ignore, with someone by my side who understood how it felt.

Looking at the time I kept going toward the school as I wanted to be early before it opened.

All the classes were with pro heroes, and that was all it was. You would assume that they would say 'Hey this is pretty important to know as your life might literally depend on this, remember to follow these rules to make being a hero slightly easier for you in the long run.' Instead, it's all the stuff they taught in schools, something which I wasn't good at anyways. At the very least I can look forward to homeroom, which is usually interesting.

"Alright everyone settle down, before we start with anything else today, I must inform you that your trails aren't done yet." Mr. Aizawa said. Starting off the class with an ice-cold bucket of water. "Today we are choosing the class president, I don't care how you do it, I just want someone up front by the end of the day. Try not to be too noisy."

With that he laid down in his sleeping bag, Immediately after the whole class erupted into people trying to shout louder than the other guy on why they should be the president or at least the vice. I couldn't make out what anybody could say over the other.

"Pick me, I'm totally what the class needs!"

"I'll make sure that the class will rock-on!"

"With me as class president, I'll make our manliness sky rocket."

Thankfully Tenya was able to subdue them, even if he had his hand sky high for the Title. With him and Momo? 'I still can't wrap my mind on how people name their children but it could have been worse.' They were able to quiet everyone down and organize everyone together.

" We are future heroes in the making, so I say we must do this democratically!"

Tenya said, Momo followed his lead and had started passing out small slips of paper for everyone and told us to pick who we desire as president.

"Kero. but we have only known each other for a couple days, and we all will just vote for ourselves in the end anyway so how are we going to vote for anybody?"

Tenya simply pushed his glasses up and gave Tysu a little smirk. It was funny to me that a normally serious person can be even a little playful.

" That's exactly why the person with the most votes should be the Class President. Anybody with such staggering support is definitely Presidential material!"

…

"U-Um I-I-I really don't know what to say…It's just that. Even if I don't feel like I've earned this spot I'll make sure that I earn it in time…or you know S–Something like that."

In a surprise turn of events Izuku Midoriya is our new Class President, with Momo Yaoyorozu as his Vice President. Personally, I can't really recognize him as a leader. That's why I voted for Momo; I would have voted for Tenya, but that guy is way too loud. If anything, I wanna kick him out of the running and instate Momo or Tenya but that would cause more problems than it would to solve them.

The bell rang and Mr. Aizawa sat up from his corner of the room. "Alright everybody we'll finalize this after lunch, If any of you have a question save it for later." With that everybody left for lunch, and quickly found themselves near proximity to each other with the whole class sharing respectfully Three full tables collectively.

"Wow that was pretty crazy, out of everyone I didn't expect Midoriya to be the class Pres. If anyone, I expected Yaoyorozu to be it, but I guess that's the way the water flows. Hey Jonathan, what do you think about our soon to be class President." Toru asked, Moving around a lot throughout her speaking. Looking all around the table I see Tysu, Yuga, Rikido, Mezo, and Ibara sitting at our table as I keep my voice low enough to not travel far from the area.

"Me personally…I don't like it. Nothing wrong with the guy at all, It's just that I can't see him as our leader. I personally wanted to see either Tenya or Momo in office but that's just me."

As Jonathan finished speaking Mezo Shoji and Tysu turned to each other and shared a look with one another.

"Say Jonathan you're not saying that just because you lost to Midoriya the other day?"

Tysu asked, neither sounding accusatory or shy about her question. In response Jonathan just laughed for a solid minute occasionally banging on the table or gasping for breath before he answered her. "Oh…That's great, I need to write that down somewhere. To think that I'm that petty is to think about someone else entirely. Win or lose is all to my benefit, If I win that means I did something right, And if I lose that means I need to work on something. That's at least what my uncle told me in cases like that."

Looking around the table most of them looked to appreciate the message with Rikido looking a little confused.

"Those are pretty wise words; I wouldn't have expected it from where you're from."

Turning to look directly at him Jonathan raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?" Realizing his mistake, Rikido tried to backtrack. "It's just that I've never really heard any saying from your home!"

Giving a smirk Jonathan looked over to Ibara as she sweat dropped at the hole that Rikido was digging himself deeper into with every word that came out of his mouth. Deciding to help Rikido for the future, he allows him to dig further. "What are you implying here? Because to me it sounds like you want to share something."

Rikido was sweating now as he didn't mean for today to spiral so out of control. Looking to his other classmates for help, he sees that there will be none. Yuga and Mezo have both found a lovely conversation all of a sudden, Tysu and Ibara looked away, trying their best not to fall in the same trap as him. He tried to look at Toru but he couldn't see her anywhere, he guessed she could escape any awkward conversation with her quirk but it's still sad to see not even one person come to his rescue. Realizing that he would get no help, he tried fixing the situation himself " I'm just saying that generally speaking people don't talk that much about Mexico!" Rikido said.

"So you're saying that we aren't worth talking about? Cause I get the feeling you don't think highly of me, and I thought this was a progressive age!"

"Hold on, I wasn't saying any of that!"

Leaning over his food Jonathan got closer to Rikido.

"Then what exactly do you want to say? I'm tired of this whole song and dance already. ¿Qué dice? ¿Qué vas a decir?" Now staring into his eyes Jonathan locked him in his seat, as Rikido was locked into a really uncomfortable situation. He can't see any way out of this situation, anything he says causes more problems than fixes, essentially there is no salvation for him at this point beyond. Wisely he chose to not say anything, the tension in the air rising till all of a sudden it broke.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA OH ooooooh…. Just kidding."

Flopping on the table Rikido let out a sigh of relief as Ibara spoke up.

"Jonathan! You can't make jokes like that, It's rude and deceitful."

"Relax Ibarra, It wasn't without its purpose. Nothing I ever do is."

Narrowing her eyes in suspicion she raised an eyebrow and asked for an explanation. "Explain it then."

"So basically if you were a fully trained hero and someone heard you say that, your career as a hero would have been over. Now you see I can respect someone's work ethic, but some people should Seriously LAY OFF man." It was like a switch flip in Jonathan's mind. What was a quiet conversation that was mostly civil was then discarded for a disgruntled rant. Unbothered he continued his rant with a Foreign look on his face, It was almost like he was looking at someone else who wasn't there.

" It's like anytime they catch even a whiff of a headline they chase it like a rabid dog…Take the reporters outside. They hardly cared about any of us till they heard All Might is teaching us. Now they're outside that gate waiting for a chance to get in. I tell you what, if breaking and entering wasn't a serious crime for school, and they could get through that gate, then they would have already been in our lockers and hiding in our sinks in order to even get a chance to see that man."

After a brief moment Ibara was able to get out of her shocked state she spoke in a clear and even voice. "Jonathan, do you have an experience with them?"

"I did, he was my cousin."

He took a bite of his food as Ibara and Toru shared their sympathies for his loss. "It's fine tho, cause at the end of the day I'd like to say that my cousin was the best of them in terms of morality, but that idiot got in trouble for breaking and entering plenty of times. So imagine what those guys outside would do to get you in trouble for even the chance of a headline story."

Rikido rather reluctantly nodded in agreement, even if he was bitter about the whole situation he was caught in. Despite the moody feeling he got from Jonathan's story he felt the burning curiosity to ask him about it.

"Are you okay thinking about him?"

With a wave of his hand Jonathan dismissed the notation as he explained himself. "Nonsense, we all need to share something a little personal to start a good friendship. That's how any good thing lasts."

With that the table went quiet, not really knowing what to say after that they didn't really know what would break the awkward tension. That was until Toru had the brilliant idea of talking about their first subject. "Man, I really wanted to be the Class President. Just think about it! The Room would definitely look cuter. OH! I could have changed the desks to all my favorite characters. And mandatory hats that would make our uniform not so drab."

"I can agree Hats would have definitely showed off my Glam better than all this gray, It's so not chic." Yuga Ayoyama said. A few others agreed with Toru with a simple nod.

Before anybody could say anything else the alarms went off.

*Beep* Beep*Beeeeep*

[ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS AND STAFF PLEASE BE AWARE WE HAVE A LEVEL THREE SECURITY BREACH! PLEASE BE AWARE OF YOUR EMERGENCY EXIT AND PLEASE LEAVE IN AN ORDERLY FASHION. STAY SAFE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION]

Before the message could loop almost all at once everybody got up and made a mad dash to the doors. Anybody who wasn't at the front was pressed against each other in a human moshpit with almost everyone pushing or shoving each other to get through. Jonathan and Yuga tried staying in their seats from the start of it but were dragged into the crowd by people who passed by. Ibara and the rest of the table were stuck in the middle. She couldn't see much besides Bakugo who looked like he was protecting somebody, Tokoyami and a guy with a bandana both being squished by two much larger students, and it looked like Jonathan and Iida were squished together to the windows.

It looked like they had a really brief conversation with Jonathan's back to the window before Iida reached out to somebody and briefly touched their hand. It must have been Uraraka as she made him float up as he tried navigating to the front. 'He's trying to catch everyone's attention and bring order to the crowd.' With that thought in mind she extended her vines out to help stabilize him and guide him to the top of the exit.

"EVERYONE LISTEN UP!"

Almost in an instant everybody halted to hear what he had to say, and it was pretty strange to see some dude standing on the emergency exit.

"IF THIS TRULY IS AN ATTACK THEN IT IS ONLY RIGHT AS A ELITE HERO SCHOOL TO SHOW THEM THAT THEY ATTACKED THE WRONG SCHOOL! IF WE ARE ALL AIMING FOR A BETTER FUTURE, THEN WHY NOT FIGHT FOR IT!"

Ibarra's jaw dropped as did some of the others from class as Iida uncharacteristically rallied a panicking crowd into an angry mod that wasn't crushing each other, instead they all started to move forward with a purpose. They walked in small clumps of people before they formed a large mass of people that started jogging in the halls, then when the mass turned to a horde, they ran as soon as they saw the front door.

The door flew open and out of it ran a horde of angry and scared kids with a shocked staff staring on in dismay as the PR department was going to have a nightmare of a week after this. "THERE THEY ARE!"

On cue the students ran at the Reporters, scaring them into a mass retreat as some of the more ambitious crews stayed behind to film. They were then trampled by a horde of students who proceeded to pursue the running news crews.

"And so, in light of todays 'Lunch Time Incident' we will now have the school take a pop quiz and have the whole 1st year classes provide community service to the local festival as punishment for starting a courtyard brawl with the press."

Tenya Iida was very disappointed in himself as he couldn't help but feel guilty about accidentally starting a riot on the press. He really wished he knew it was them then he could have tried to calm the crowd instead. Some of the others in class felt pretty guilty as they got riled up with his speech and one person even punched a cameraman. They all knew it was Bakugo but they did trample a lot of people collectively.

"Now onto the rest of the news, school will close early for today as we need to repair and check the try not to stay after school for too long and remember Friday you have the quiz! Dismissed."

As soon as he was done the class got up and left in a hurry, no doubt they were still worried about the damage they might have done to the reporters. A few were not as worried, either not caring or just because they kinda deserved it for breaking into the school. As Ibara and Toru waited on their friend they saw him move towards a different direction. "HEY! Jonathan wait up, the exit's this way." Toru said, waving an arm around as she hurried to catch up as Ibara followed right behind her. "Jonathan, where are you going schools out the day? Let's go get some pie and coffee. Maybe go get a couple rounds in at the arcade or something." Toru said, disappointment lacing her words.

"Can't, I gotta check on my suit."

Immediately she deflated like an origami crane left in the rain, it was strange to see because you still couldn't see it but just know it. "But whyyyyy?"

"Now now just because people have responsibilities doesn't mean you should try and pull people out of it for your amusement." Ibara said, wagging her finger like a disapproving parent. "Besides, this could be a great opportunity for you to see if you can get a costume made for you." even if you couldn't see her face you could tell she was pouting like a child. "Okayyy, but they better make it totally cute or I won't wear it." she said, which earned her a light chop on the head by Ibara.

"Then let's get to it then."

They made their way to the support classroom as plenty of people walked out excited to have a day off. Talking about nothing along the way there was a strange noise that came from the support course halls as small pops sounded off before a large explosion of smoke burst from the door as it flew off its hinges. "WHAT THE!" Toru shouted as smoke filled the hall before an air vent sucked it outside.

"We should be fine to go in now." Jonathan stated, as if he didn't see the door explode in front of them.

Toru said nothing as she followed her friend but she was seriously considering turning back and doing stuff with Ibara instead.

"Hey is everybody okay?"

"We're good, just slide the new door shut." one of the soot covered students said as they put out a fire on a large mecha arm. It was pretty cool but the thought of it blowing up again would be pretty scary. "Hey why are you guys building a mecha anyways?" Toru asked as she quickly looked to her side as one of the girls working on it pointed her fire extinguisher towards her. "What's it to ya?"

"Oh no reason, just curious!" She said as she quickly walked away towards her friend who was talking with a boy in a lot of black and orange. "Alright then, would it be fine when you're done for me to embroider it?" The guy turned around and was a little shocked to see a floating uniform "Ay guey!... Whos this?"

"Oh right, let me introduce you to my friend Fernandez meet Toru. She as you can see she's invisible. Could you help me help her in making a costume that will turn invisible with her and as she said 'looks cute.' because her current one doesn't fit the bill."

"Sure, do you have it with you?" passing the suitcase to him he opened it up and stared into it for a while. "Hey… This is a joke, right? ...There's only some gloves and boots in here!" he said blushing madly while looking at her. "Yeah, I can make something please follow me." Fernandez said as he took her somewhere else deliberately trying not to address the obvious.

Jonathan was going to just wait at the desk, but he noticed Power Loader walk in with a large stack of crates in his hand. Deciding to pass the time he went over to help.

"Hey Mr. Loader, do you need help with that?"

"Hey kid, surprised to see you again, if you wouldn't mind one of my students is lagging behind could you help her?" he said pointing in the direction he came from.

"No problem."

Making his way to the chick that was lagging behind, he found her slowly walking in the direction of the support studio. She was carrying a large stack of crates with all sorts of nuts and bolts and other things in them. "Hey." spooked, she almost fell before Jonathan simply took the stack from her in an all to casual manner. "You're pretty strong, carrying all that but I think we could speed up the process with my help." he could feel her punching him on his side as she said "You jerk! Don't you know you aren't supposed to scare a lady like that, especially if she's carrying something!" she kept punching him as he couldn't see her having to lean his head on the crates to stabilize them.

"Alright! Alright! I'm sorry, what would get us to even things out!"

"Hmmm." she stopped hitting him as they began walking to the class. "I know! You can help me test my babies. Recently the dummies aren't really doing it as they can't really handle what I put them through and they don't move like I need them to. So come by sometime again on Friday."

They made it to the class as he began to walk to where Power Loader went he was stopped by a small gloved hand on his shirt. "Hey! Where do you think you're going?"

"I'm dropping off the supplies where they are supposed to be."

She chuckled before she corrected him. "No you silly goose, They're my supplies. Power loader said anytime we want supplies that we have to carry them ourselves, here follow me." She guided me to where she wanted me to drop off her supplies before she thanked me, and went under her machine before I could see her.

"Hey Jonathan we're done, let's go!" Toru said as she quickly grabbed her friend before they left the class and before he could understand why she left in a hurry he saw another fire near the area where she went to get her measurements.

"Hey, it's good to hear from you again, I heard that boy in the Heights got some city girl on the side while his girlfriend is living with him, anything to add?"

She didn't say anything for a sec as she held back Tears and Snot that threatened to fall like a river over a waterfall. Almost Immediately her brother changed his attitude but he still kept it light.

"If this is what I think it is I could call his father and cousins and we can stop there for a bit and see what we should do to Em?"

"No Lalo it's not that at all…There's been a break and entering at the school and I have a horrible feeling there might be more than just that might happen. I was wondering if you would go there with him just in case something else happens."

"Come on, you know I'm a busy guy and I -HAHAha!" even he couldn't take himself seriously after that and broke faster than a new recruit next to a historic vase.

"Pleas this is serious!"

"Yeah, I'll be sure to make my way there as soon as I get the call, besides they don't talk to me anymore so I should have more than enough money to have my crew running the place."

"Thank you, sorry for bothering you. I would go myself but…I don't have the money for myself let alone the family…Thank you, it really means a lot to me."

There was a brief pause as the sound of a motor started and music blared briefly before it stopped. "Yeah it's no problem, I love the kid anyway so it'll be a vacation more than anything."

"Thank you! I'll call if there is anything new happening."

He was silent as they hung up on each other and there was just the sound of the Car as he drove to another fence post. Silently he watched as the empty plains of Texas pass by him as the trees were dry and grass filled with snakes. He always thought he would be riding on these very plains chasing Bandits and Indians from his farm as his family built a barn and Farmhouse. Now he needs to schedule a flight and call some people he never really thought he would call. I guess fortune favors the prepared more than was realized.

I am pretty late with this chapter since June. July? I don't really know but this isn't done till I say it is. But remember just because it's a character but evil doesn't mean that the way you got him to be so was logical but hey, I'm too Mexican/American to really care. what I do wish is that people do things with their own country in mind, their own culture added to stories and not the 'OMG I love Japan and Anime.'

you are allowed to add anything to the story talk about some Persian dude who gets disgusted with coffee and has cultural clashes with people with how he was raised. get a Russian guy who treats losses like nothing but statistics from how he was raised or knows about his history. think about some Chinese dude who carried a really deep resentment for the crimes that Japan did to his ancestors. I don't really know get insane with it, history is insane in the first place, Literally Cinco de Mayo happened cause the French to help some baker who was, French get justice for his Baggets and crepes.

Just please if I see another story that changes nothing but the same story with their character in it one more time and it's just a couple things different, I will use an all-blue Magic deck that is the most unfun thing that I can think of for the next 30 games.

Anyways that's enough for today make sure to sleep.
