Once she got back in her seat after lunch, she had a hard time concentrating during Ectoplasms math class. She had hoped that once Deku, Todoroki, Bakugo and the others came back that they would have more information on Togas whereabouts but she would never have imagined that it would be this. And how did they not know about something like this in the first place?

Bakugo did mention that there were a few pro heroes already involved all over the world so like he said it wouldn't surprise her if some cops or other higher up were too. That would be an easy way to cover things up.

"Uraraka?" Being pulled from her thoughts she saw Shinso staring at her questioningly with an amused eyebrow. "You still here with me?"

Giggling she rubbed her neck. "Yeah, sorry about that. I guess I just spaced out there for a minute."

Nodding he glanced down at their papers. "I know what you mean, and Ectoplasm made these problems seem so easy too."

Scratching her head with her pencil she looked around the room and it seemed like they weren't the only ones struggling with the questions. Deku was busy mumbling away while Todoroki remained as calm as ever with a slight frown on his face as he looked over the questions. On the other side Kaminari was already short circuited while Jirou was having a hard time concentrating trying not to laugh.

"Well at least we aren't the only ones."

Shaking her head, she heard Kirishima and Bakugo whisper yelling at each other with the latter angrily pointing his pencil at his paper obviously annoyed at having to explain the equation to the red head.

"We all still good for our study session?"

"Yeah, I'll just have to meet you guys a little bit later. Mina, Kaminari and I still have some extra training we have to go to after school."

"Oh, that's right. That rough."

"Yeah." Shrugging her shoulders, she continued to work on the paper. "But I don't mind. Besides It's only for a couple more days." She said as the bell rang, and everyone started gathering their things.

"Well at least you're taking it well considering we have a training session next." Shinso smirked following her out the door.

"Yeah, please don't remind me!" she whined slouching her shoulders.

"Don't worry I'm sure it won't be too bad…I hope."

"Geez thanks Shinso that really helped me." She sarcastically rolled her eyes making him chuckle.

"Ok…what about Sato?" Mina grinned as the girls were changing into their hero suits in the locker rooms.

"Hmm…maybe a 7 or 8?" Jirou said, taking a moment to think about it.

"I know what you mean…if were talking body then yes definitely!" Hagakure said laughing. "Plus, for being so buff he is a big softy. So, I'd give him a 9 or 10 in the boyfriend department."

As the girls continued to name of some of their male classmates debating on looks and possible relationships, Uraraka quietly listened.

"Ok what about Tokoyami?"

"That's a tough one." Mina said thoughtfully. "I'd give him a 6-7…"

"Really? I'd say an 8."

"Tsu really?" Mina wiggled her eyebrows.

"It's not what you're thinking. Ribbit." Tsu grinned knowingly at her. "It's just that Tokoyami is one of the more respective and shy classmates. And I'd think he'd get a 10 in the boyfriend department."

"That's true." Momo said.

"Ok then, what about Midoriya?" Jirou asked as they stared at Uraraka.

"Guess seriously It's not like that remember." Uraraka said shoving her face inside her locker.

"I know we're just messing with you babe." Mina laughed. "But I'd say between an 8-9 in the body department…"

"Midoriya does have a nice body and he has your typical Hero attitude to match." Hagakure mused out loud. "So, I'd say between a 7-8 for boyfriend."

"Really?" Tsu asked quizzically.

"Yeah, he seems like he would be too focused on hero work and helping little old ladies crossing the street then focusing on relationships." Hagakure pointed out. "But he's still one of the nicest in our class."

"Todoroki?" Mina asked, receiving grins from the girls.

"10." They all concluded before laughing.

"Kirishima?" Jirou asked.

"Well, I'd give him an 11 but that would be cheating." Mina laughed receiving laughter from the others.

"Ok what about our very own Mr. explosion?" Hagakure asked.

"Bakugo?" Momo asked. "Hmm…well that's a hard one…"

"I know what you mean. That's not something you really think about with his personality."

"Jirous right. But you remember Ema from last year? She wouldn't leave him alone and there's been other girls who've been eyeing him for a while now too. Ribbit."

"True." Yaoyorozu said.

"Let's see…I'd give Bakugo a…"

"10." Uraraka smiled to herself.

Hearing the room suddenly get quiet, Uraraka could literally hear a pin drop feeling her cheeks get hot and definitely didn't want to turn around to see the shocked look on their faces.

"Wow Uraraka I never would have thought I'd hear that from you." Hagakure said cheerfully. "But I guess that would make sense. Yeah, I think I'd give him a 10 too."

"Really?" Momo asked a bit surprised.

Breathing out a sigh of relief since the attention was no longer directed at her, Uraraka slowly turned to face the others already having finished changing.

"Yeah, why not? Once you get used to his fiery personally Bakubro is kinda hot." Mina grinned purposely staring in her direction and receiving thoughtful nods from the others.

"I suppose so."

"Well, when you put it like that I guess."

"Not to mention he was already built to begin with but now just like the rest of them they've all filled out a lot." Hagakure offered.

Shrugging her shoulders as the girls continued on their way-out Mina giggled. "Yes, they have! Have I mentioned how much I love being in the Hero course?"

"But I don't know if I'd give Bakugo a 10 in the boyfriend department…" Hagakure laughed.

Giggling Uraraka shook her head as she opened the door crashing face first into something solid. "Ow…"

Rubbing her nose, she saw Bakugos surprised expression as he jolted back giving her hero suit a once over with a barely noticeable pink blush.

"Oh, sorry about that 10- I mean Bakubro!" Mine clapped a hand over her own mouth as the other girls started giggling grabbing Uraraka by the arm and dragging her along.

"Hah? What the fuck does that mean?"

"Nothing 10!" Mina waved still laughing with the others as Uraraka tried desperately to avoid his gaze bolting into Ground Alpha.

Scowling after them Bakugo continued on his pace fixing his gauntlets as Kirishima walked up beside him. "What was that about?"

"Who the hell knows."

"Alright this exercise is pretty simple enough. You'll be paired off into groups of five with one of you being taken as the hostage. The prime objective is to rescue your teammate from the villain without causing any casualties. Since this is a new training ground please try and keep damage to a minimum." Mr. Aizawa said staring directly at a certain ash blond.

"Why the hell is everyone staring at me?"

"We have made this facility by combining Ground Beta and Omega, so you'll have to figure out where your hostages are being kept."

"How will the groups be chosen?" Hagakure asked,

"They'll be randomly selected as well as who the hostages will be. That being said, as for the villains they've been chosen by some of the pros who volunteered their sidekicks for this assignment."

"Woah really? They've really gone all out for our training this year." Kaminari thought out loud.

"Remember this is your final year here and we don't plan on holding back. After this you will be out there as pros, so we are expecting you to give it you're all this year and learn from your mistakes so that you'll be better prepared." Glancing next to him he rolled his eyes as All Might stood next to him smiling and waving at some of them. "All Might here will be scoring you on your performance. You have an hour which should give you plenty of time."

"Hell yeah…" Grinning menacingly Bakugo was already itching to start.

"Alright, now as for your teams…"

X

Sitting on the ground as the first team started, Uraraka quietly continued to play with her boots, painfully aware of the awkward tension in the air at having been partnered up with Deku, Todoroki, Bakugo and Shinso with the latter being the hostage for this scenario and placed in a room unable to oversee the current team in order not to give anything away.

Hearing nervous laughter, she snapped her head up to see Deku sitting facing her and franticly staring between Todoroki who was sitting in between them and Bakugo who was leaning against the wall with arms crossed as both continued to stare quietly at each other.

"So, um…I think we should start to strategize."

Nodding her head eagerly she looked at the others. "Sounds good to me."

"Todoroki? Kacchan?"

"Alright. What did you have in mind?" Todoroki asked.

"Well, we have to figure out where they would be keeping Shinso…"

"Or who the villains even are." Uraraka thought out loud.

"Who cares about any of that shit. Either way they'll lose."

"Team 2 you have five minutes before we begin." They heard All Might announce from the speaker.

Standing up Uraraka dusted herself off as the others did the same.

"Either way we'll need to be on guard since we don't know what powers they might have, and this is a rather big training ground to cover, and they didn't give us any clues or anything to located Shinso."

"Which is odd because in a real-life situation we wouldn't be heading straight into something like this without a proper plan or knowing what we're up against."

Nodding Deku rubbed his chin. "Urarakas right. I guess they just want to see how we'll react in the event that we're not prepared."

"So logically it would be better to split up to cover more ground, but at the same time that's what they might want, is to get us by ourselves and pick us off one at a time." Todoroki said looking at the three.

"Obviously." Bakugo rolled his eyes receiving a nasty glare from the other boy.

"Ok so how about we split into teams of two?" Deku asked.

"Tch, no thanks." Standing in front of the doors Bakugo started stretching readying himself for when they open. "Like Icy hot said it would work better if we split up. Even if we went into teams of two, they'll eventually want to split us up, so it makes no difference."

"Yeah, but we should still have someone close by or know their location just in case they run into trouble."

Rubbing the bridge of his nose Bakugo let out an irritated growl. "Fuckin fine!"

"Alright." With a determined look Deku turned to the other two. "Kacchan and Todoroki-"

"Fuck no!"

"That won't' work."

"Um ok…then Uraraka and Kacchan-"

"Deku, I think it would be best if we just split up and cover more ground." she sheepishly said rubbing the back of her head and ignoring the piercing glare he gave her.

"Fuckin fine by me then."

Taking a deep breath Deku looked at them. "We already discuses we'd start up with another person. So-"

"I can go with Uraraka." Todoroki calmly said.

"Um ok well-"

"The fuck?!" Swiftly turning his body Bakugo stomped over to Todoroki.

"Is there a problem?" Todoroki asked, folding his arms.

Narrowing his eyes Bakugo already felt the small explosion in his palms.

"Ok um…not helping!" Deku franticly waved his hands between the two.

Puffing her cheeks and staring between the two, she shook her head. "Dekus right we need to focus."

"Oh, trust me round-face I'm focused." Bakugo said still staring at Todoroki.

"What's the matter Bakugo? I don't see anything wrong with working with Deku." Todoroki said.

"Ok then how about you work with that idiot, and I'll work-"

"Actually, I'm still ok with working separately." Uraraka sheepishly looked away.

Taking a deep breath in, Bakugo calmly looked between Todoroki and Uraraka. "Fine. Icy hot, Round-face you guys will be a team which leaves me and Deku." Turning back towards the door and just wanting to get this damn assignment over, Bakugo heard Todoroki stepping next to her.

"Ok." Deku relaxed his shoulders with a relived breath.

"Fine by me." Todoroki said. "So-"

Clenching his fist Bakugo growled at him just as the doors opened. "Is that so?!"

"I don't see what's the harm in that and frankly I don't know why that would bother you in the first place."

"Guys!"

Scoffing Bakugo looked down at his palm. "You really don't want to piss me off right now…"

Deku frowned. "We don't have time for this!"

"Likewise." Todoroki grit his teeth.

"Are you two serious right now?!" Widening her eyes just as she saw them lunging at each other she quickly managed to activate her quirk on both, grabbing a hold of Deku and angrily stomping out towards the training grounds. "This is ridiculous."

"OI ROUND-FACE! BUT ME DOWN!"

"Uraraka!"

Looking over his shoulder Deku stared dumbfounded at her as she dragged them away. Uraraka? Might wanna let them go."

Letting out an irritated huff she placed her finger pads together as she continued stomping through the woods. "Release!"

"SHIT!"

Scratching his neck Deku chuckled. "I didn't mean to drop them..."

"They'll live." She said with a hard edge to her voice looking at her surroundings.

"Hey…you alright?"

"Yeah…" she said looking at him over her shoulder. "Just a lot's been on my mind."

"Understandable." He said watching both boys running after them. "But I wonder what's gotten into them."

"Who knows. Right now, I'm too angry to care." She spoke. "Besides you were right Deku. We need to do this assignment. So, I'm sorry if I was a little-"

"The fuck was that for?!" Bakugo said as they caught up with them.

Pursuing her lips, she turned and headed the other way.

"We need to hurry and find Shinso." Deku said running towards the other direction. "Give some kind of signal if you find him or find yourself in trouble!"

"Tch." Watching the three heading in different directions Bakugo quietly mumbled to himself before propelling himself in another direction.

Looking at her watch she saw that it'd already been 30 minutes and she hadn't seen or even heard anything from the others.

Landing on top of one of the buildings surrounded by the trees she crouched down listening for any sort of movement around, slowly floating herself down to one of the windows peeking inside. "Nothing…huh…"

"Hey! You look familiar!"

Startled, she snapped her head in the direction of the familiar voice. "Shindo?"

"It's Grand right now and I believe I'm your villain." He winked. "Guess it's my lucky day."

"Oh no…"

"Boomerang Man now!"

Jumping away just in time as a small rock-like device was thrown in her direction before it exploded. "Seriously?!" she screeched.

Giving her a blank look Toteki simply shrugged like it didn't bother him. "Would you rather I throw knifes?"

"W-what?!" Gawking at him as he started pulling out more explosives. "Crap!"

"I wouldn't bother if I were you. My aim never misses…"

"Oh yeah? Well, it did just now, didn't it?!" She smiled proudly as she floated higher immediately regretting it once his face turned sour making her gulp scolding herself "Right. Way to antagonize the villain Ochaco."

"Alright let's see how well you do now!" he said before arming a few explosives her way. "Target lock on!"

Using her rocket boots to help her move around quicker she realized that all it took for one of his explosives to activate was to be somewhat close to her causing her to lift up higher until one exploded directly in front of her causing her to fly backwards and with a scream hit something hard.

Landing on the ground she winced from the pain in her back as she slowly tried to get up off the ground.

"ROUND-FACE!"

"Huh?" Slowly turning her head, she saw Bakugo landing behind her with eyes wide in worry.

"The hell happened?!" he asked running up to her.

Turning away she mumbled. "Not like you'd care anyways."

"What?!"

"Nothing, I just faced off with Boomerang Man and Grand." She waved off pointing at the building further away. "What are you doing here anyways? Are you following me?!"

"What?! No, I wasn't following your ass!" he said stomping his foot. "If anything, you were probably following me!"

"What? Why would I want to do that?!" she said staring at him disbelievingly.

"I don't know, you tell me?" he said, folding his arms with a smug look on his face.

Feeling her face turn red both from anger and the way he was staring at her, she rolled her eyes deciding to refocus her attention anywhere else that wasn't him as she tried straightening herself. "I don't have time for this."

Scoffing, he quickened his step to stand in front of her. "Hey, don't get snappy with me when you're the one in my location!"

Frowning she looked around, finding herself in the mountain part of ground Alpha. Which explained what she had crashed against.

"And while we're at it what the fuck was that earlier?! If you wanted to be teamed up with Icy hot so bad, then you should've just said so from the beginning." he said, stomping away.

"What? That had nothing to do with this. You two are the ones that have been at each other's throats for no reason!"

Watching his left eye twitch, she gave him a satisfied smile lifting her chin. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to find our missing victim."

"No. I have to find him since I figured where he is."

"Oh?" Blinking up at him she waited for him to continue.

"Well think about it. This place has been dead quiet until you stumbled on not just one but two villains while at that building. So, they may be guarding something."

"I know that."

"Right. So, I'm going, and you can follow me if you want."

"What! No, you can follow me if you want." She said stepping ahead of him hearing him grit his teeth in anger.

"Round-face…"

"Well, lookie here! Seems I found you too Dynamight." Shindo grinned as he stood in front of them. "By the way Uravity, I hope that didn't hurt too bad. If you want, once we're done here, I'd be more than happy to give you a massage. I mean I do have a cool quirk after all."

"Huh?!" Feeling her face flush, she saw him slowly smirk at her.

"So how about it?"

"OI DUMBASS I'LL FUCKIN MUDER YOUR ASS!" Bakugo seethed stepping in front of her. "Just keep talking shit and see where it gets ya."

Puffing her cheeks in offense, she made sure to keep her eyes on Shindo while glowering at the blond. "Bakugo I can take care of myself."

"I fuckin know you can! But don't think I haven't noticed you're hurt."

"Aw Bakugo I've never seen that side of you." Shindo smiled. "That's a bit surprising, but then again if I was friends with Uravity I would be too."

Without a second thought Bakugo sent explosions after explosion towards him just as Uraraka saw Deku and Todoroki flying over to them.

"Over there!" she said pointing towards the building as the two quickly flew in that direction.

"Alright, then let's shake things up!" Shindo grinned touching the ground they were standing on making the whole mountain tremble and break apart as she stumbled into the small entrance of the mountain.

"Uraraka!"

"Oh oh might not want to go in there Uravity!" Shindo chuckled as he continued his tremors.

Trying to balance herself she let out a pained scream as her back once again hit the wall inside the mountain, as the entrance slowly caved in. Thinking quickly, she tried using her rocket boots to get out of there, realizing that after that crash outside they weren't working anymore.

"Uraraka!" Seeing a flash of orange and black she turned her head to see Bakugo hovering over her to covering her from any incoming rocks while blasting the rocks by the entrance and those from above until everything stopped shaking and all she saw was dust.

Coughing she waved her hand in front of her with his arms protectively above their heads.

"You…you alright?"

Staring up she saw him breathing hard as he continued to see if she was alright.

"Y-yeah thanks." Unable to say anything else, her throat suddenly went drier as he continued to stare at her intensely with his ruby red eyes.

Slowly nodding, she was surprised to see he didn't make a move to get away just as his eyes momentarily flickered to her lips with a small blush on his sweat and dust covered cheeks.

Clearing his throat, he stepped back the next second, walking out of the entrance. "Come on. Deku and Icy hot might need our help."

Nodding she moved, trying to push through the pain wincing.

"Round-face?"

"I'll be fine. Don't worry about me." Straightening her back she bit her lip trying to contain the scream, wanting to escape. Walking past him she activated her quirk pushing off in the direction of the building where she could see her teammates fighting Grand and Boomerang Man.
