You followed close behind Endeavor and the other three boys. Ever since accepting Todoroki’s invite to his father’s agency, you’ve been stuck with the group of heroes, which together caused quite the stir.
Endeavor suddenly spoke, interrupting the casual silence of the patrol.
Endeavor: "We're heading through the Central District. This is a hotspot for villain activity. I've gotten word that a group of villains are planning an attack. So, we're headed there to scope out the area and maybe do some good."
He put his hands behind his back.
Endeavor: “Stay on your guard.”
As you all walk, you all wordlessly study eachother. Bakugo sneaks a few glances at you, looking you over each time. It's hard to tell if he's admiring or heavily judging you due to his uncharacteristically blank expression. Todoroki isn't much for conversation. Midoriya, on the other hand, asks you questions about your quirk and writes the answers in his notebook Midoriya: "So, what's your quirk?"
"Radiation."
Midoriya: "Incredible! So, you can emit radiation from your palms? Or- something around the lines of that?"
"Yeah."
"Hmm..." Endeavor's voice rang out, drawing the attention of everyone in the group. "Radiation, you say?" He gave you a long look before finally continuing with his patrol, seemingly deep in thought about something else entirely.
I nod
"Hmm..." Endeavor seemed to be lost in thought for a moment. Todoroki whispers to you. Todoroki: "Don't let him flatter you. He only takes interest in people with a strong quirk."
"I took notice of that."
*Endeavour hears this, but decides not to argue * "We should be reaching our destination soon. Stay alert." With that, he continued leading the group deeper into the Central District.
Midoriya notices the tension in the air, caused by Endeavor's interest and Todoroki's warning. He glances between all of you before speaking up to break the silence Midoriya: "So, did anyone catch the UA sports festival broadcast? There was this guy there who reminded me a bit of someone...but I couldn't quite put my finger on it."
"I don't see how that's relevant."
Bakugo grunted, clearly annoyed by the small talk. "UA this, UA that...I'm a pro hero now. I don't have time for that." He muttered under his breath. But when no one seemed to take offense or comment on his words, he sighed in relief and quieted down.
Todoroki frowns, looking at Bakugo in disapproval for his attitude. "Anyway," he says, turning to you again, "did you catch the broadcast or not? I just thought it'd be interesting to discuss." His voice carries a hint of curiosity and disappointment, as if he expected more from your answer but doesn't want to pressure you into giving it.
"I did."
Bakugo snorts, clearly unimpressed. "And? What'd you think?" He asks, obviously trying to goad you into some sort of argument or debate about the UA heroes and their performances. The others just exchange glances, not sure how you'll react to his attitude.
"It was impressive. Though, their aim was quite poor."
Todoroki looks thoughtful at your response. "Yes, well...that's something to work on, I suppose. But they all have potential." He glances at Endeavor as he says this, a slight frown tugging at the corner of his mouth. There seems to be an unspoken weight in his words, as if he's trying to share some sort of wisdom or advice without being overbearing.
Midoriya nods along with Todoroki. "That's right. They might not have been perfect now, but they can always get better." His expression softens for a moment before turning back to the surroundings, watching for any suspicious activity.
"Yes," Endeavour finally responds, sounding a bit tired but genuine as well. "That's the spirit. The important thing is to keep striving for progress and never give up on improving oneself." He looks back at you, his expression softening slightly. "It's something we can all learn from each other, no matter our age or experience."
The air around them grows more somber, but it's clear that the tension has eased a bit as they continue to patrol together. Though, there is still the looming threat of whatever danger awaits them in the distance...
We reach an alleyway
"There seems to be a commotion coming from that alleyway," Endeavour murmurs, his eyes narrowing as he focuses on the area. "Stay alert and be prepared for anything." He glances at you briefly before moving swiftly towards the entrance of the alleyway, his hero instincts taking over.
As they enter the dark and twisting passage, each member of the group readies themselves for whatever awaits them within. You can feel the tension in the air, amplified by the confined space and the anticipation of imminent danger. The patrol seems to hang together more cohesively now, though there is still a hint of unease as they all brace for what might be coming.
Gangs hang out together on either sides of the alley, most of them either drinking or smoking
Bakugo growls as he approaches the group, "Looks like we got what we came for." With a sudden burst of speed, he lunges toward the gang members with an explosion, hoping to take them by surprise and disperse their numbers before they have time to regroup.
Meanwhile, Todoroki swiftly advances on the other side of the alleyway with a trail of ice in his wake, creating a slippery surface that makes it difficult for gang members to maintain their footing. Midoriya hesitates briefly before following after Endeavour and Bakugo, his analytical mind working overtime as he takes stock of the situation and tries to anticipate the enemy's next move.
Todoroki's ice freezes our enemies feet, leaving them vulnerable and available for questioning.
Midoriya's eyes widen as he takes in the scene before him. The frozen gang members struggling on the ground thanks to Todoroki's ice quirk, and Bakugo continuing his frenzied assault against those who remain standing. Without thinking much, he dashes over to one of the fallen men and tries to pin him down with a single arm while questioning him about their leader or any further plans they might have. "Where's your boss? What were you planning?" He demands, trying not to sound as intimidating as his older classmates.
I continue to question one as well, though my approach in doing this is a little more rough. I toss the gang member's knife across the alley, and pin him against the wall by the back of his head "We're looking for answers. Knowing that, give me a reason why I shouldn't send your head into peices."
"All right, all right!" One of the gang members yells out in a panic. "There's another hideout, okay? They just needed a distraction and some backup money! It's on Vander Street, near that old warehouse!" He spits out the information as quickly as he can before cowering in fear.
Hearing this, Bakugo immediately turns his attention toward you. He mutters under his breath. Bakugo: "Good job, I guess.."
Midoriya and I exchange glances. Midoriya: "So, do we head to this new location or call for backup first?" Endeavour: "We can leave that to the pro heroes. Excellent work, you four."
Endeavour: "It's late. You have permission to go back to your dorms."
Hours later, the squad is hanging out in Koi's dorm, playing video games.
Bakugo grumbles, leaning against the wall. "I still can't believe I let you talk me into this." He mutters to Midoriya. The others exchange looks of amusement before going back to their game.
"What would you rather do?"
"I don't know," Bakugo mumbles, looking at the game for a moment before turning his gaze back to you. "This is pretty boring..." He glances over at Todoroki and Midoriya, who are deep in conversation about something unrelated to heroics or anything else happening tonight. "...but I guess it's better than just being cooped up in my room all day."
