Invisible Strings | Katsuki Bakugou

Code names

"Oh, Mina!", she almost tears up, moved that her friend chose the nickname she gave her as her hero name.

"Charge plus Lightning Bolt. The Stun Gun Hero: Chargerbolt!", Denki was very proud of his name and Lenora gave him a wink.

Momo was the Everything Hero: Creati, Todoroki chose his name own name Shoto making Lenora pretty proud of him, and Tokoyami was the Jet-Black Hero: Tsukuyomi.

"Tsukuyomi?! Cool!", Len whispered, fixing her blank board.

They had all chosen amazing names and she was still swimming in deep waters.

"King Explosion Murder."

Katsuki's name made her slam the board on her face. She guessed right about him!

Midnight sent him to his place, rejecting the name for being too violent.

Uraraka was Uravity and she gained a lot of cheers.

Midnight looked around the kids, "The only ones we have left are Iida, Bakugou, Midoriya, and...Lenora."

Kazama met her eyes, tilting her head. She slightly touched her forehead, signaling the girl to do the same; Len followed the suggestion, listening to Midnight's thoughts.

"You can do it."

Lenora nodded, returning to the board.

"Oi witch, you're trying to burn the board with your eyes?!", Katsuki yelled while Iida was presenting his hero name, which was actually his first name.

Izuku was next and Len almost choked reading 'Deku' on the board.

"I used to hate this name but someone change its meaning, so from now on Deku has to be my code name."

Len knew Katsuki wanted to throw the whole desk at Izuku but contained himself for once.

"Lenora, are you ready?", Midnight asked her.

The girl nodded her head, standing up. Midnight moved out of the way to let her have her moment.

Taking a deep breath she flipped the board, "The Witchcraft Hero: Enchantress."

The class was stunned by the name.

"Enchantress? So cool, Lenora-chan!", Tsu hyped her, followed by the applause of her other classmates and Midnight herself.

"It suits you perfectly. Enchantress is it", the Pro Hero patted her back, leaving her to return to her desk.

Aizawa finally woke up from his nap, "Now that everyone or most had decided on their hero name, we can talk about the internship. Those of you who are on the board could choose from your offers, everyone else would have different lists. Every agency has a different specialty, keep that in mind! Think carefully before you decide!"

The bell rang after the teachers passed them the papers with the agency on.

"You only have two days to decide."

The teachers left the class to have their lunch break but everyone seemed more focused on choosing what agency to intern with.

Len had only gazed briefly at her list, dragging her chair near Katsuki's desk and placing the paper on it.

"So, who you thinking of?", she asked.

Katsuki was gripping the list so tight that Len was afraid it could be ripped apart at any moment.

"Best Jeanist."

Len blinked a few times, "Best Jeanist? Sure, it's number four, but I didn't think you'll go for someone like him, since your angry issues and vulgar vocabulary, y'know?", she scratched the back of her ear.

"I HAVE NO ANGRY ISSUES AND YOUR VOCABULARY IS NO BETTER THAN MINE! NOW, GIVE ME THIS!", he snatched her list, scanning it to see who offered it to her. Katsuki's eyes started from the bottom until they reached the top, narrowing once he found the name he was looking for.

"Hey, I still haven't looked at it! What's this face?! You're scaring me!"

She squeezed herself on his shoulder to take a better look, following his gaze.

Lenora was sure she stopped breathing for a solid 30 seconds when she saw who was the first name on the list.

"I'm not dreaming, am I?", she asked, her voice trembling and her index shaking while pointing at the name.

Katsuki handed her the paper, scoffing, "You better show that fucking rabbit who can jump higher."

Len let out a chuckle, careful with the list. Her smile could light up the whole room at that moment.

Pro Hero Mirko, I won't let you down.

At the end of the day, Len was the last one who remained in the class. Her classmates left as soon as the bell rang and she had to push Izuku out with Uraraka, convincing him she could walk home alone.

"I just need to ask something of Mr. Aizawa", she informed him, pinching his cheek.

"Alright, be careful on the way back!"

She waved at Uraraka and finished packing her things, jogging to the teachers' room right after.

The girl knocked, patiently waiting for a response that came pretty fast.

Only her head appeared from the door, "Um, sorry, Mr. Aizawa? Can I ask you something about class really quick?"

The Pro lifted his eyes from the papers, nodding. He was the last one in the room, all his colleagues already out of school.

"Take a sit", he indicated the chair in front of the desk, but Lenora waved her hand, stepping inside.

"Don't worry, I'll be fast," she rummaged in her bag, taking out the list of the Pro's offers, "I...I saw that also your name is on this, even though I'm pretty sure you don't have an agency, sir."

Aizawa closed his computer, interwinding his fingers on it, "Yes, I offer to you even if I don't have an agency," he sighed, "you're here to know why?"

Len started swinging her legs back and forth, "Well, you're one of my favorite Pro Hero since I was in middle school and also my teacher, sooo...yes, I'm curious."

The teacher leaned back on his chair, "I won't answer your curiosity, Shimizu, but I thank you for your words."

Len closed her eyes, chuckling, "I was sure I'd get such an answer," she put the list back, zipping the bag, "thank you for your honesty. And also your offer. Confidentially, I think your quirk is much cooler than anyone else here", she whispered the last part, smiling, "I'll leave you doing your...teacher stuff. See you tomorrow! Have a nice night and try to sleep more, so I can stop thinking at eyebags' jokes whenever I saw yours!"

Before he could scold her, she was out of the room, running to the exit.

Aizawa watched her still running out the room's windows, shaking his head.

"Kids those days are really incredible."
