A/N: Mount Lady and others' origin story...

Yu opened her eyes to the sound of her alarm, today well… tomorrow was her first day at Shiketsu High School. Today she was about to depart on a thirteen-hour journey by train to the school from her family's home in Hokkaido, a time that she would look back at fondly for the next eight years. The teen did not want to get up after her late night saying her goodbyes to her family and friends as the spring break ended, transferring schools was hard on her and her parents. Though she had wanted to become a hero since she could remember, the journey to be even considered a hero-in-training was extremely draining. She had to have a near 3.5 average in school to even consider the written exams or she would be at risk of failing, and the practical was intense. Though everything up to this point was a struggle she never once regretted it and now after waiting on a waiting list for a year her hard work paid off, she just had to drag herself out of bed.

Yu was going to move from underneath her warm quilt, her head buried in her pillow, but she found that very hard. A small frail-looking woman with dark hair picked her head through the door to her room letting out a sigh and seeing the teenager still in bed. "Oh sweet pea, you are still in bed? You know we have an hour until we need to get to the station." The woman said entering the room to rob her quilt. Yu grumbled and stretched clearly not wanting to be woken up. The woman giggled when the girl yawned and looked at her with vacant eyes. "You're wasting time you know." She spoke, not much caring that the girl was half there.

"Ma..."

"Don't Ma me, get up and get ready your father is waiting." The woman now identified as her mother said, sitting next to her with a hand on her shoulder.

Yu hummed at the insistence in her mother's tone. "Can't we go later?" she asked, sitting next to her mother.

"You know we can't, the principal had already made arrangements for someone to pick you up from the station and show you where you will be staying this year." Mrs. Takeyama said, remembering the drive down to drop off Yu's things and to meet Shiketsu's staff. She remembered the elderly man that greeted her and her husband after Yu's acceptance, he was more genuine than she thought he would be, welcoming her daughter to such a prestigious school. Yu grumbled without saying a word at the thought of getting up and moving out of the room slowly. "Seriously, is that girl going to be okay?" The woman questioned, getting up and making Yu's bed.

Half an hour later Yu in the school's uniform greeted her parents in the kitchen of their home still shaking off her sleep, yawning, the teen with a bag at her side and the cap of the uniform under her arm. Yu's mother saw her enter and frowned, making a motion to the girl to come closer she made her drop to a knee in her haze. "You surely are wasting your good looks, sweet pea." Mrs. Takeyama, the much smaller woman, said fixing the orange bow around Yu's neck, her purple eyes trained on her daughter. "There we go, we don't have time for you to have something to eat." She said looking at the wall clock next to the entrance reading 5:30 in the morning, her train leaving at six, and her factoring in the twenty-minute drive to the station in Sapporo.

Yu hummed before her answer causing a worried look in her mother. "No worries, I will get something on the way." Yu said getting up on her feet towering over her mother and placing her hat on her bag.

Her mother raised a finger leaving the room, Yu then turned to her father greeting him as he worked away at a laptop. The man seated at the dining table looked up at his daughter with pale blue eyes behind short blonde hair. "You ready to go?"

"More or less, I am nervous more than anything else."

Mr. Takeyama got up from his chair to put a hand on Yu's shoulder. "I think that you have nothing to be concerned about, this is your dream and you worked hard at it, Yu."

"I wish that I had your enthusiasm, Pops but I don't. I think that I was so ready for it not to happen that I was convinced that I should focus on school here." Yu said, her tiredness not leaving yet.

Her father laughed as he looked at Yu with a gentle face. "Hey I am sure that your mother would have felt the same way, hell, she deflated when we got the call that you were going to be let in as a second year despite not going to a hero school beforehand. That woman wanted you to stay with us as long as possible."

"Does she know that I am coming back for summer break and that's like in three months."

Mr. Takeyama laughed as Yu's mother re-entered the room, now with a purse in hand. "Of course you are, but this is the longest time that you will be spending away from home and we are well within our rights to worry about our child." He responded, trying to hide the fact of his wife's protectiveness over the girl.

"What are you two talking about?" She asked taking out two five thousand yen notes and handing them to Yu. "There you go sweet pea, there is a good ramen place at the station on your final transfer before the train you need from Tokyo, Roku-something I believe. You will figure it out."

The girl looked at the money in her hands before she tried to give it back. She couldn't take it, their family wasn't strapped for money but her parents were doing so much for her to go to this hero school and it did not feel right to ask for more. "Dad and I were just talking about what we should do for summer vacation when I come back." She spoke, trying to hand the money back to Mrs. Takeyama. "And I don't need this mom, I already have pocket money."

Mrs. Takeyama only closed the money in Yu's hands, smiling up at her daughter before answering her. "Yeah... But I was thinking that you should save that for emergencies and with everything going on near Hosu you never know if you need to come home because of it." The woman spoke with a hint of worry in her tone. The Pro All Might was in that city for some reason or another and with how the crime rate is nowadays it spelled trouble for a lot of people if his being there was anything to go by.

"No seriously Mom I can't."

"You can, and you will young lady."

Yu shrank a little at her mother's voice and took the money regardless of what she felt, she wasn't going to see her mother for a long time. With that, her father packed up his laptop and moved toward the entrance of their home. "You should tell your mom on what you want to do during summer when you call, we got to go, we are late enough as is." Her father said putting on his shoes.

"Right." Yu said rushing to have things in order. She took her mother by surprise, hugging her before jogging to the entrance. "I will call you when I get there, yeah?" Yu spoke with her bag trailing behind her, putting her cap over her long blonde locks.

Being knocked out of her stupor the middle-aged woman raced after Yu, getting the girl to kneel again before she took her in an embrace. "Make sure you do, sweet pea. I am going to miss you."

"Yeah, I will be mom. I will miss you too." Yu spoke before saying her final goodbyes to a mother that was on the verge of tears.

(...)

The twelve-hour journey to Tokyo was not helping the tiredness Yu had waking up she was not able to have any more rest on her trip. She was antsy, in many ways her journey to becoming a hero started here. She exited her train to transfer to the train she needed for the last hour of her journey, while she walked to the other side of the station some got her attention. "Excuse me, are you Yu Takeyama?" She turned to see a girl with gold eyes and green hair smiling at her with the same uniform on.

"Yeah?" Yu looked at an average-looking teenage girl looking up at her expectedly. "That's me..." She finished as the other girl's smile grew larger.

Yu was taken aback as the girl took out a cell from her person calling someone, after a few seconds of what could presumably be the other end of the call ringing the girl spoke to the person on the other end. "Yeah Emi, I found her. Yeah... We will be right there, sis." The girl turned to Yu hanging up the phone. "I'm sorry Takeyama-sempai but do you mind coming with me?"

"I wouldn't mind knowing who you are first."

The girl chuckled before answering. "Right, introductions are important. I am Fukukado, Aoi Fukukado, a first year. I am Emi Fukukado's little sister, you might know her as Ms. Joke, your temporary homeroom teacher."

Now that she thought about it she remembered meeting Ms. Joke, though the woman was not much older than she was, Emi was a student teacher subbing for the regular homeroom due to being on leave. 'So this was her sister.' She thought examining the younger girl nervously chuckling. "And how do you know I was here?" She asked, thinking about the hour remaining before she reached her destination.

"Oh, uhh... I was in the area and my sister picked me up... And... I thought that it would be cool if you got a ride with us... You know since you are going to be staying with us and all..." A blatant lie but Yu let it go.

"Is that so?" Yu questioned further.

"Yes... Uhh, we should go. Yeah? Emi... Uhhh Ms. Joke is waiting."
