Ren used his phone as a GPS, and Momo used hers, to help navigate. The drive was going to take a couple hours just to get to the right city, and no telling how much they'd have to do later. They made sure the tanks were full.

Luckily, Momo's credit card worked anywhere, though she was going to have an interesting time explaining it if her parents asked.

Wally told Shine she'd taken all the difficult people. Shine said he'd taken Bakugo and Monama, so that wasn't true.

But all in all, Wally's group was pretty well-behaved.

Medea didn't end up feeling as relaxed in the car as she thought. Turns out it twisted and turned a lot more than a train did...and the road they were on was pretty winding and rough in some places.

Even Momo kept gripping the seat as they were jostled. Wally seemed fine.

Camie kept gawking at the scenery because it was so different.

Bakugo fell asleep, which was pretty funny, with his feet on the dash.

Medea flinched as they went over another rut. Her eyes flickered purple.

"Maybe you should hold my hand," she said to Monama with a straight face.

"What?" Monama said.

"Ohh," Camie smirked.

"I don't know why, but I seem to have better control. Maybe it's some weird synergy thing." Medea said, "and I don't want to set the car on fire if I get startled and blaze up."

"Yeah, would be bad," Wally said, looking in the review mirror.

"Mr. West, if you could just keep your eyes on the road..." Momo said politely.

"Relax, Peaches, no one else is even on the road except our friends, and they're behind us because Shine drives slow," Wally dismissed it.

"But there are twists and turns on the road," Monama said.

Wally thought they were being paranoid. "You guys take the bus. Do you tell that driver to be careful?"

"Well, they're professionals," Momo said.

Wally gripped the steering wheel. "Professionals, huh? Let me tell you something, kid, I can drive a freaking javelin (that's like a really high tech plane), and I've been driving a truck for years, which is harder than a mini-van, and that's a test of your manhood right there to even be seen driving this thing."

"Hah," Hawks snorted a laugh.

"And I think I can safely say I'm pretty professional," Wally said, "In fact, I'mma prove it to you."

"Uh, Mr. West, I don't like the sound of that," Momo said.

Wally stepped on the accelerator, and the car's speed shot up to probably 80 mph.

Medea yelped.

Monama grabbed her hand because he was afraid she was actually going to set the seat cushions on fire.

"Aw, how sweet," Hawks said before he almost hit his head on the interior. He used his wings to prop himself up more securely.

Wally's phone rang.

"I gotta thank Endeavor for these high class phones that have service all over the world," Wally said, "even out here." He answered it.

"Ah, use both hands!" Momo said.

Bakugo sat up. "What the he-- is going on?"

"West-Sensei is trying to prove to us he can drive by driving over the speed limit!" Camie said.
