"Had a good rest?" an unfamiliar voice asked

Izanami looked over the room, Iida was nowhere to be seen. Midoriya and Todoroki seemed to have just woken up as well.

The girl from yesterday was perched atop a counter, arms crossed.

She had pitch black wavy hair, just slightly longer than shoulder length and dark brown eyes, nearly bordering black. She was wearing a full sleeved emerald green turtle neck top and extremely comfy-looking grey joggers

The students of UA didn't remember much from last night after she used her quirk to save Todoroki.

After that, everything seemed hazy.
The pros had followed in suit and in the midst of the ensued chaos, she'd disappeared.

Izanami had passed out the minute sense of safety hit her. Her entire shoulder was bandaged up and it still hurt like a fucking bitch.

Peppermint was the first to start,
"I'd like to Thank you for saving me, us yesterday."

"No problem. had something to settle anything with that prick anyways" she shrugged

"What's your name by the way?" Izanami asked, then introduced herself, the others followed

"Shimizu Kanae,"

"And what about your quirk? I didn't quite catch it in the frenzy yesterday!" Midoriya followed without missing a beat.

"That," she said, pointing a finger at him
"Is a secret."

The brunette then shrugged,
"Not really when I think about it.But I just don't want to disclose it to y'all at the moment."

Todoroki and Izanami shared a glance, eyes narrowed suspiciously at that,

Midoriya, however, continued

"Oh, okay. Anyways, Shimizu san are you perhaps also in the hero course?"

"Yeah,"

He beamed,"No wonder you have such precision with your quirk! You swerved the knife from that distance so smoothly!"

She smirked, before nonchalantly stating,
" No shit- I'm fucking amazing,"

"Shiketsu High?" Todoroki enquired, he hadn't seen the girl at UA.

"Nah,"

"Then?"

Gran torino along with a few detectives burst into the room before the girl could answer and she took it as a cue to walk out. Knowing she didn't have it in her to listen to the adults spewing bullshit.

"Are you saying we should've followed the rules and watch people die?!"

Everyone in the room went silent at Todoroki's outburst,

Izanami was also fuming, she agreed with peppermint however other than verbal support she couldn't really offer much. Recovery girl had yet to see them and while the hospital stitched her up, the cut was deep enough to hurt even with a slight twist to turn and look at the scene.

The heated exchange continued for a while before the detective apologised leading the teen to say,

"You should've said started with that"

He looked slightly- just a tinge embarrassed after that- no that she was one to point it out.

The detectives left and  Izanami slightly chuckled, riddling another wave of pain in her shoulder.

"What's so funny in this?" the heterochromatic boy asked

"Nothing really, it's just that yesterday's event are finally starting to feel real"

"Yeah, now that I think about it we really did something amazing" Midoriya stated

Iida then entered, acquainting himself with the newcomer who entered alongside.

He gave a short review of his injuries,

"I'm sorry."

Everyone in the room looked at Todoroki,

"Whenever I'm involved, it feels like people's hands get messed up" he continue, in all seriousness.

Is it like some curse? he thought to himself

"It's like I'm the hand-crusher,"

The four teens, besides him all burst out laughing. Leaving the poor guy confused and concerned.

"Peppermint made a joke!" Izanami exclaimed wiping a fake tear from her eye

"Didn't know Todoroki kun could make a joke"
Midoriya stated and Iida nodded his head to show his agreement

Meanwhile, Shimizu Kanae just observed at the scene before her. It seemed like a distant reality. There was no hidden hostility between them; nothing of the sort. It was a good change to view before going back, she concluded.

Shimizu joined in for a while before her phone rang, interrupting their conversation.

Tch.Assholes.
Ending her call, she bid farewell to the UA high students,

"Anyways, gotta go guys. Oh yeah, By the way, Izanami," she started

"Cool as fuck fighting style" she smirked,
"Especially- The scythe 10/10 stuff." she said, with practically glitter in her eyes.

"You saw that?" she questioned, that felt like the earlier half of the fight

"Uh I basically saw the entire thing," she replied, her right hand rubbing the back of her neck as she realised how that sounded,

"SHIMIZU SAN- WHY DIDNT YOU-"

"SHIMIZU-Kun were you present during the part it was just me and the pro?"

"What are you? a sadist?"

"Hey- I did jump in before anyone died!" her tone defensive, "Also I thought y'all could manage by yourselves- which you infact did." she concluded matter-of-factly

"Joining in to help before I got my shoulder cut would've been appreciated " the blonde deadpanned, grumbling slightly.

"My apologies?" The brunette didn't mean it sarcastically, she just sucked at this stuff and apparently the rest got the memo.

"You're as hopeless as Peppermint and hedgehog,"

"What did I do?"

"That sounds insulting you know,"

"Good."
Anyways, hope I can see your fighting style next time" The blonde smiled,

Shimizu tipped her head in acknowledgement before hopping off the counter and leaving

"Bye" they all chorused and she waved her hand, walking out.
