"NUMBER 5! RABBIT HERO: MIRKO!" the mc's voiced came through from the television, filling the empty silence in the spacious room as the young genius wrapped some bandages around her fingers. "THIS UNYIELDING BUNNY WAS BUMPED UP IN THE RANKINGS!"
Y/n watched the television with heart hammering in excitement as the mc announced the new Japan's billboard hero rankings, now that All might has retired. The young genius couldn't help but imagine herself standing on that stage with the crowd getting wild as the announcer called out her name.
"HE DOES THINGS HIS WAY, BUT ALWAYS FIERCELY WITH UNSTOPPABLE MOMENTUM! HE'S MADE IT TO SECOND PLACE!" The red winged hero was showcased in the screen as light glowed behind him. "NUMBER 2! WINGED HERO: HAWKS!"
Y/n couldn't help but smile at his success in making the second place. She heard a noise behind her and looked back to see one of her many mentors whose red lips were quirked up to a gratified smirk. Noting that Hawks also trained under the HPSC, Y/n figured her mentor must've taught the winged hero before her.
"One day, you'll be up there too." She patted her shoulder and gave Y/n a kind smile, "I know it."
The young genius felt flattered by her words and replied, "I'll work hard and do my best. Thank you, Miss Dottie."
Her instructress smiled. She was Y/n's favourite trainer among others even though she knew little information about her female trainer. Miss Dottie, as what the young genius calls her, is an attractive foreign woman with blonde hair, styled quaintly, and has grayish blue eyes. Her cheek bones are well structured and her lips are always coated with matte red lipstick.
Y/n didn't know much about her since her instructress was reserved and would rather talk about anything else other than herself. The young genius tried to do some research but the information that she found seemed to contradict what she personally observed. On the file, Dorothy Underwood, also known as Dottie, was a freelance operative in USA.
However, Y/n didn't buy the information. Having observed her mentor, the young genius knew that Dottie was more than what was said in her information.
Y/n observed that she was a master martial artist and acrobat, she was undoubtedly extremely skilled in hand-to-hand combat and a prowess in acrobatics. Dottie is also quirkless but she has a highly nimble and precise fighting style that is able to overwhelm even those who are twice her size which earned her Y/n's respect.
Dottie is responsible for training Y/n in espionage and acrobatics. With her help, the young genius was able to acquire the skills of deception: whether be it faking her emotions, lying, adopting various accents, and many more.
The instructress was so knowledgeable in deception that Y/n began to doubt if the friendly smile that she always displayed was genuine. Setting that aside, the young teen aspired to be just like Dottie - a seemingly petite tender lady on the outside, one that entices ravenous eyes with her enchanting beauty but once caught within her spell, she'll drag you without hesitation into the depths of hell.
Y/n glued her eyes on the television once again and saw the winged pro hero childishly making faces as the third place pro hero, Edgeshot, spoke, "The ability to preserve the law and order is the true measure of a hero."
That sentence made the young genius' heart turn in displeasure. Maybe it was because she had broken the laws and order of the government several times and even broke the laws of nature, so hearing that loud and clear had a hard impact on her.
Hawks used hand to 'unzip' his mouth and interrupted them. "Who the heck do you think wants to hear that crap?!"
Loud gasps were heard from the crowd.
He was immediately given a microphone to speak. "You wanna talk about public support? Best Jeanist would be number one if that was all that mattered. Thanks to the boost he's gotten during his leave of absence. I'd be second, Edgeshot'd be third. Endeavor, fourth, and a hero who isn't even an official pro hero yet would already be in the top ten."
Y/n heard a feminine giggle beside her. "He's talking about you." said Dottie, "You're popular afterall."
Y/n grinned and turned her attention back at the television as Hawks flew above the arena. "Public approval? Sure. It matters more than anything else now, but c'mon. This isn't the time to dwell on the past and saying that staying the course is the answer. Our symbol's gone."
The light above him gave him a luminous look as his shadow loomed above the press. "Today's a turning point, so what I don't wanna hear is a bunch of P.R - friendly sound bites from the guys and gals below me! Try coming up with something actually heroic to say!"
"Miss Dottie, I'm sorry but I don't think I understand what he's trying to say." Y/n said, truthfully. "Isn't Edgeshot right? To preserve the law is a part of what makes a hero, a hero."
The blonde woman pondered for a moment then replied, "Law and order is what keeps society in order, L/n. It does not entirely eliminate villains nor does it bring and preserve peace."
Dottie saw the confused expression drawn on the young teen's face, she gave her a kind smile and went closer to the teen. "I understand that this is confusing to you." Dottie said, "Young generation of heroes are taught to obey the law. So discovering different views in heroism must be new to you."
She placed a hand over the teen's head and continued, "Being a hero means keeping peace in society, L/n. Law and order isn't meant to do that because it cannot. I hope you understand where I'm getting from."
Y/n nodded her head, "Yes, I think I'm starting to understand. Thank you."
Dottie smiled lovingly though there was a shady glint in her eyes that Y/n failed to notice. "And as for Keigo, I think he's just trying to defend Endeavor." she said as she wore her black gloves, "If people think that the amount of public support should rank the heroes billboard charts then people will surely think that Endeavor is undeserving of the number one position."
The young genius could hear the crowd chattering and murmuring to themselves. Y/n couldn't help the rising desire in her to surpass and claim the title that Hawks had achieved - the world's first ever to make top ten as a teenager - the young genius felt challenged, maybe because they trained under the same department.
"Alright, back to training!" Dottie exclaimed with a clap of her hand.
Dottie unexpectedly threw something at Y/n which she luckily caught in pure instinct. The instructress, pleased that she caught it, smiled and began to unravel the long braided shock cord. Y/n looked at the object that Dottie threw and saw that it was a harness.
"Wear those."
Y/n obliged as Dottie hooked the ropes to her harness for safety precautions. It didn't take the young teen long to figure out that she was possibly going to train in high places. Curious of what exactly her new activity is going to be, Y/n asked, "Miss Dottie, if you don't mind. What are we exactly going to do today?"
Dottie's thin matte lips curved into a dazzling smile and enunciated her answer which made the young genius' soul slip away from her body, "You're going to jump down atleast ten flights of this building using only the railings and banisters of the staircase to test your acrobatic skills."
'Well shit.'
Hordes of citizens surrounded Y/n who granted their requests for autograph or photographs and answered their questions with pleasure.
"Miss L/n you dropped out of UA a few months ago. Is it true that the reason behind this is UA's poor security system?" One of the press asked, holding out a microphone towards her.
"Oh, no. UA's a great school." Y/n answered, "The reason of my drop out is confidential."
"Rumors have been spreading that you're now training under the Hero Public Safety Commission." another reporter piped in, "Are those true?"
"I don't know if I'm allowed to answer that but yes those are true."
"Miss L/n! Since you're an in training hero and you've been fighting villains for a long time now. Will you have an official debut?"
"Is that still necessary?"
"Some have criticized you for being quirkless. What do you say about that?"
"I understand that some people do not believe that I am capable of being a hero because I'm quirkless." Y/n replied, "People have their own perspective about the true essence of heroism to which have been bandied about resulting in this stereotypical way of thinking that heroes have powerful quirks and should have powerful quirks."
"There is more to a hero than being just physically powerful." She continued, "The meaning of the word has been stripped, replaced, and misused over time."
Y/n stopped speaking, withholding the thoughts she had about this issue, in order to avoid controversy. She figured that it wasn't the right time yet.
"Does this mean that you stand by with the hero killer, Stain's ideology?"
Y/n let out a spurious, though seemingly realistic, laugh; "If you say it like that it sounds like I'm approving what he's done which is not the case."
A red long feather levitated right infront of her, catching the attention of the press that leeched information out of her to present to the public.
"Well, what do we have here?" A jovial voice spoke, as the crowd parted to give way to the winged hero along with the newest number one pro hero, Endeavor.
Y/n released a sigh of relief, internally grateful that he intervened, if he had not then she would've been pushed to an edge where the press could take some of her opinions that could potentially ruin her. People love drama afterall, especially the press.
"Y/n what a coincidence to see you here!" Hawks exclaimed, walking towards her, ignoring the press media and citizens flocking around them.
"Wow, like you didn't texted me to come here." retorted Y/n, sarcastically. "Truly a coincidence."
"Yeah, I guess the universe ties us together."
Y/n laughed, "I'm pretty sure the universe is way longer than 5'6 feet."
The winged pro hero gasped dramatically. Satisfied with the reaction that she recieved, she turned to the other pro hero with a smug look. "Mr. Endeavor!" she greeted, "Congratulations on finally making it to first place! You too, Hawks."
"L/n." Endeavor acknowledged with a firm small nod in gratitude.
"Thank you, Y/n." Hawks grinned, before leaning near her and speaking lowly, "I think he's willing to change his ways. So I guess he's really happy about it."
The fire around Endeavor's eyes drew together as he watched the two talked about him as if he wasn't there.
"I can totally see it." Y/n sarcastically said, as she looked at Endeavor who wore a stoic grouchy expression.
The number one pro hero could only grunt as he watched the two teens laughing and giving their attention to the citizens. Endeavor observed the young mechanic genius. If he were to be asked for his opinion of her, he wouldn't know the answer.
She was incredibly intellectual, that he couldn't deny. Ever since he learned about the baffling news that broke out that there was a quirkless young teen aspiring to be a hero, he found it incredulously ridiculous.
As a person who, his entire life, have trained and strived to enhance his quirk and surpass Allmight; which, in fact, inspired his hero name 'Endeavor', he didn't think she would last. However, upon seeing her beat his own son in the sport's festival, he was filled with fury and confusion.
He was mad and beyond humiliated that a quirkless defeated his son whom he had trained strenuously for years. He confronted his son about it and threw some comments on how he didn't give his best yet the younger Todoroki only brushed him off and bluntly told him that the main issue here was how he, Endeavor, had gravely underestimated her and how power obsessed he was.
Then, the Kamino incident happened followed by the Shie Hassaikai raid, all of which she was involved in which caused the slow change of how he viewed her. He wouldn't admit it out loud but he was starting to see her capability. His desire to change for his family also affected his opinion on her, maybe his son was right, that he had underestimated her but still he knew there was an extent on what she can do that he believed are still lower than an average modern hero.
Whatever the case is, he knew that she was going to be a huge influence to society and as the new number one pro hero, it is his responsibility to have a congruous relationship with people like her. Thus, he kept his opinions to himself.
"Hey, there's a hot pot place with good chicken stock nearby. That's why I called you here since I know it's your break time." Hawks said, walking beside the young genius who gave one last kind smile to a lady about her age who asked for a picture.
"Speaking of break time, those vacancy are currently the best times of my life. I know that you already know this but the training is crazy." said Y/n, side eyeing the winged hero.
Hawks laughed and paused for a quick moment to pose for a selfie with a fan. "I really don't exactly know what kind of training they implemented you with but from the sounds of it, we have the same experience."
"We kind of have the same experience." Y/n corrected, "Unlike you, you have a quirk so our training possibly has a huge difference."
"How's training by the way?"
"Its exhausting but I'm improving quite fast." Y/n said, proudly. "Now that we're talking about being fast, Miss Dottie is so fucking fast it's hard to believe that she's quirkless. Was she the one who enhanced your speed?"
"I think people will have a more hard time in believing that you're quirkless." Hawks mused, lip tugging to a handsome smirk. "And yes she's fast for a quirkless gal. When I was a kid she'll just randomly throw things at me saying to enhance and test my instincts or something."
Y/n glanced at him with one eyebrow raised, "How old is she anyway?"
Hawks nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know. She doesn't even look like she's aging but atleast she's attractive."
"Can't deny that." Y/n admitted, "My trainers are just strange in their own peculiar way."
None of them uttered a word and silence fell between them. However, ironically, the silence was loud enough to convey that they knew there was something odd regarding in the hero public safety commission. Deep down in the pit of her stomach, she felt like there was something hidden in the HPSC. Her unexplainable gut feeling was telling her that there was something in there that they're desperately hiding.
Corruption.
A huge possible situation but, truth be told, Y/n could hardly find that much significance of HPSC to the public. The commission barely had any workers and the labor is mostly paper works and other drudging computation that contributed little to none to the public and yet the commission still held so much power - one of the many things she couldn't comprehend in the commission.
"Wrong? How?!" Endeavor's voice caught their attention.
Y/n watched as a young kid held his shaking hand as if to assist it to shook the pro hero's hand. "The Endeavor I know doesn't do stuff for fans! He's too cool to stoop to that level!" The young boy exclaimed as tears rolled down his cheeks before running away, screaming; "Endeavor's changed for the worst!"
The flame hero stood dejectedly and confused as he watched his fan run away from him while his two companions laughed at the occurrence.
"I've never seen a fan running away from their idol." Y/n laughed, chewing on a barbecue. After escaping the crowd, they have finally arrived at the building that Hawks was talking about.
"They must've been so surprised." Hawks added, sitting beside Y/n with a huge glass window on his right side where a part of the city could be viewed. "It's just not in his character." He pointed at the untouched food on Endeavor's plate, "Are you gonna finish that?"
"You glutton." Endeavor grumbled, "Go on. Eat your fill."
"Want some?" Hawks turned to Y/n to which she politely declined.
As the pro heroes continued to talk, Y/n grabbed a suitcase with red and golden platings indicating that it was her iron suit. The young genius watched as it began to unfold itself and morph back into its original form, presenting the iron suit, mark 43.
"Sentry mode." Y/n said and the eyes of the mask glowed as if it had been brought to life before walking to the center of the table, facing the glass window.
She heard a whistle beside her and turned to see that both men were watching it. "You don't see that everyday." Hawks hooted, "Hey, that's new!"
Y/n sighed, "Old, actually." She took a bite and used the barbecue stick to point at her iron suit. "My newest ones were destroyed by All for One and Overhaul."
"How many robots do you have?" asked Endeavor.
"Iron suits, if you will." Y/n snapped, "I actually don't know how many are my suits. I kinda lost count."
"What about those brand new ones? Are you gonna remake them?" asked Hawks.
"Yeah, I'm just waiting for the materials to be delivered." Y/n replied, eyes widening in the remembrance of the question that she wanted to ask. "Why'd you brought me here anyway? I'm sure you didn't just want to eat here without any other important reason."
Y/n sat back down to her seat as Endeavor spoke, clearly aggravated, "I'd also like to know why you brought her here. I know you're here to talk about pro hero business so why involve an in training hero? And get to the point already."
"The rumors." Hawks promptly replied, "I'm sure you've heard about them so I brought her here since she knows about science stuff, she's has good analytical skills, and maybe she knows something that we don't."
Endeavor glanced at the youngest teen who also wore an equally confused expression as him. "Something that we don't know?" repeated the number one hero.
"Obviously." Hawks rolled his eyes, "We're no expert in the field of science and she literally knew that the Nomus were modified human corpses at one glance."
Y/n's eyes enlarged, "How'd you know about that?"
"I keep my eyes and ears open." Hawks grinned, "Anyways, let's settle up what we know."
Endeavor was the first one to speak, "When we captured All for One we also found a few dozen that were stashed away in Kamino. The League's made some trouble since then, but there haven't been any more Nomu sightings."
"So you either rounded them all up or there's more but only A.F.O knows where they are." Hawks theorized, "Those are the two lines of thoughts."
As Endeavor and Hawks made their exchange, Y/n was also deep in her thoughts. She lined what she already knew and the rumors that the winged hero have heard and the secret investigation that he's made with the police, all of which she took into account to formulate the theory that she came up to which she feared was correct.
"What about you, Y/n?" asked Hawks, snapping her back to reality. "What do you think?"
Y/n sighed, "There's so much to tell."
Endeavor and Hawks fell silent, eager to know what she had in mind.
"I think we really should be wary that the League has been silent." Y/n began, "Given that All for One is imprisoned in tartarus. I think the League is actually on the move. The highest possible act that they're doing is assembling an army - either with Nomus or actual living villains. However, I think it's going to be both."
Endeavor raised a brow, "What makes you say that?"
"When I was captured by the League, well, let's just say I'm very talkative when faced with the likes of them." Y/n smirked, "Shigaraki and his little band has absolutely no idea on how to make Nomus. It is also important to note that All for One doesn't tell his plans to Shigaraki. I've proven that for a fact, you can even ask my hostage buddy."
"Having this in mind, the Nomus are possibly created by All for One alone or he has another accomplice." Y/n continued, "The Nomus found in Kamino was there for many possible reasons. First, they were naturally placed there for containment but since they kidnapped me, an innovative tech engineer, and they didn't thoroughly checked on me for any gadgets except my suit even when we arrived at the hideout, the fact that they were careless is debatable."
"Since All for One is undoubtedly clever, there's a possibility that he purposely didn't tell Shigaraki or either of the L.O.V to thoroughly check on me." Y/n said, "If we go through this line of thought, then All for One intentionally wanted to be caught for whatever reason he had in mind. He could've moved the Nomus but since he didn't, it is possible that it is to cause confusion - to divide us whether if he did it alone or he had other people, that is not the League, helping him. Also to misdirect us, making you guys assume that those were the only Nomus left so that you'll let your guards down."
"Are you guys following?" asked Y/n, tapping the table irritably seeing confusion written on both their faces.
Endeavor nodded his head, eyebrows still knitted together. "Yes, continue."
"I'm going through this because it is a contributing factor to the theory of them having accomplices." Y/n prompted, "Now, if they do have confederates that are still unknown to us, then it is possible that the League of Villains are out there with those said accomplices with Nomus multiplying."
Hawks slammed his fist on the table with a huge grin, "See! She gave us more information and conceivable theories than any of the authorities!"
"Okay, know-it-alls, what are you two getting at here?" Endeavor fumed, though feeling a tinge of embarrassment that Y/n had known more than him.
"Is this human torch deadass?" Y/n said, eyes blazed with disbelief. "You're the number one hero, obviously you have to look into these rumors and take my theory into account."
"Exactly!" Hawks exclaimed, raising a thumbs up. "You should be the one to look into these ominous rumors and tell everyone there's nothing to fear! Puff out your chest and give them the message while I sit back and take it easy! Like I basically said yesterday this is your show to direct, Mr. Number one."
Endeavour huffed, "What kind of stance is that?!"
"I just wanna enjoy myself. Seriously." Hawks placed his cheek on his hand, "Do some leisurely patrolling, put in a few appearances. Say 'Aw shucks, no trouble today' and get a good night's sleep! That's my ideal life! I wanna make the world where heroes have time to kill!"
'Personal satisfaction?' Y/n glowered, 'So that's the kind of hero you are.'
From the corner of his eye, Hawks could see the clear judgemental gaze that Y/n was giving him, as she oozed with disapproval though he pretended not to notice and instead gave her his signature attractive smile.
"What about you, Y/n?" Hawks said, "You look like you still want to say something."
Y/n heaved a heavy sigh, "It just dawned on me that if there is someone creating this Nomu, other than A.F.O, there is also a possibility that these creatures might evolve."
"We've seen that All for One is capable of taking someone else's quirk." Hawks said, "Since these Nomus have multiple quirks then it is only possible that it was All for One who also gave them those quirks." He raised both of his hand in surrender before adding, "I'm just stating out what I have in mind. I'm not countering your theory or anything."
"True, I've missed that part." Y/n placed her elbow on the table and rested her chin on her palm as her eyes wandered aimlessly. "But we still don't know the capability of these possible villains that are modifying on these dead bodies. We have to stay vigilant, things have been too quiet, it's bound that they're preparing something big that we might not expect."
Suddenly, her suit of armor let out a digital ring followed by Jarvis' voice, "Miss, upcoming threat ahead."
The trio immediately turned to look at window and saw a gigantic bat-like creature flying towards their location.
"Couldn't the timing be anymore perfect." Y/n sarcastically remarked, as she stood up with a palpitating heart. She held out her hands to the side as parts of her suit instantly flew towards her.
"Your bill, gentlemen and Miss L/n." the waitress said, entering the room.
"GET BACK MISS!" yelled Endeavor, preparing his stance. "HAWKS GET THEM TO SAFETY!"
"Them?!" Y/n repeated, sounding offended.
"Go home, L/n!" ordered Endeavor, "Let us handle this!"
"I've faced many strong villains, hell, I even faced All for One!" argued the young genius, "I'll check for citizens in this building!"
The Nomu broke the glass window with a loud crash as if entered the room. Fortunately, Y/n had her suit on which protected her from the shards of glass.
"Who's the best here? The strongest?" the Nomu spoke with a grave voice.
"Holy shit it can speak?!" Y/n gasped.
"Some rumors are true huh? It's your lucky day pal. Here we go." Endeavor punched the creature away and levitated to the sky. "You want number one? You got him!"
"I didn't know you could fly, Endeavor!" Hawks marveled, assisting some citizens out of the establishment with the help of the young genius.
"I'm not flying. More like not falling."
"It's one of the quirks of his hero costume that I personally created so that he'll have the ability to levitate." Y/n boasted, "I'm the best, right?"
"You're the strongest?" The Nomu said, turning to look at the young genius just as it regenerated.
"I said the best."
"L/n, stop talking and start moving!" yelled Endeavor before facing the creature, "FLASHFIRE FIST: HELL SPIDER!"
Before he could even execute his attack, the creature had trapped him with its extended muscle.
"Y/n, go search for civilians in the building and around the area." Hawks said, "I can't manage the whole building. I don't have enough feathers for that."
"On it, bird boss!" Y/n instantly flew out the building and her HUD scanned the building for any source of life.
"Fourteen life forms detected."
"I can carry four of them." Y/n said, already flying towards the nearest civilian trapped in the building. "I've only got three rounds."
The young genius rescued the citizens quickly and dropped each of them towards a safe distance, away from the battle zone. "Hey Hawks, can you hear me?" Y/n spoke.
"Mother- Yes, I can hear you." He spoke from the other line, "I didn't know my visor could do this!"
"You'd be surprised about what else it can do." Y/n retorted, she could hear the booming noises from the other line where Hawks was located. "Jarvis, care to assist Nico for a moment and scan the other buildings."
"Yes, ma'am."
Y/n hoisted a citizen on her shoulder and used her repulsor ray to create a hole in the wall for a short escape route. After a few moments of silence from her AI, Hawks yelled in awe, "Holy shit, this has infrared scanners?!"
"Can you scan the other buildings? Check if there're civilians in them, I'll take care of them."
The pro hero turned from every corner in search of any trapped civilians in every building, fortunately for them, the premises were empty. However, the civilians were flocking on the road in a huge pile of panic.
"Y/n, there're Nomus, lower than what Endeavor is facing, located near the evacuation routes." Hawks said, his eyes trailed on the humanoid grotesque creatures displayed on his visor.
"On my way."
Y/n flew after delivering the last round of citizens to safety, her screen searched for the Nomu and saw numbers of the creatures attacking the other heroes like hungry rabid monsters.
The pro heroes who were struggling to restrain the creatures along with the wailing citizens that was located in the same street looked at the sky upon hearing something coming from the ether. Their worries ceased in some degree seeing that it was Iron woman.
The suit of armor landed in a cinematic way with her right leg bended on the ground and one arm sticking behind her back as the other one was curled into a ball as it supported her weight on the ground.
Iron woman raised her head and upper body slowly before shooting at one of the Nomu with an average build that had thin extended tendril like fingers that snaked on one of the pro heroes. The rays were enough to alert the creature and left the pro hero and turn its attention towards her. Y/n watched as creature dashed on her direction before speeeding towards it and ran its face on the ground as she flew towards the opposite side of the road with no innocent people to misdirect the Nomus away from the citizens.
The genius then threw Nomu that she was holding which was now unconscious and watched as a herd of Nomu ran towards her direction in a seemingly mindless demeanor, their horrid mouth agape as growls slipped out.
"NEE- NEED STRONGER!" a booming guttural voice roared across the city, catching Y/n's attention. Despite the distance, she could see that the creature was now a size of a building.
'I was right.' she thought, feeling sweat sliding down her face. There were moments that she did not want to be correct, this situation was one of those moments.
Y/n placed her attention back on the Nomus that were now near her, she waited for a few moments until the creatures were now inches away from her before she flew above the heavens and bolted back on her previous location. The humanoid monsters turned and ran back to follow her but before they could even travel a meter, Y/n sent a miniature missle at them.
Now that the crowd paused to witness the teen hero manage the Nomus, the press media was able to squeeze themselves near Iron woman's battle ground and focused the camera at her and the screen on the television of those who were watching on the live broadcast showed the young genius turning around and walked back towards the citizens with a huge explosion behind her.
Iron woman flew above the crowd and she could see distress on their faces, "Please keep calm and follow the evacuation orders." she said, her voice reached even at the end of the crowd. "Follow the pro heroes orders, you will all be just fine. Calling for the symbol of peace? Open your eyes, you people have become extremely too dependent on Allmight that you've failed to see reality!"
"S-she's right!" a voice yelled, the young genius saw the fan of Endeavor who ran earlier. "Endeavor's alive and fighting! There's still a dude out there risking it for us! Can'tcha see?!"
"Humans?" The Nomu growled, "Over there- there?"
It was her signal to move and Y/n flew across the horizon.
"E-everyone has now calmed atleast a bit down." the female reporter said, brushing of her embarrassment of her mistake earlier. "Back up has now arrived and Iron woman had just took down the lower level Nomus."
"It is not yet certain but it seems like Iron woman came from the same building where Endeavor and Hawks was in, where the first Nomu attack occured." she continued, "Everyone will soon be evacuated immediately."
On the television, it showed the young hero flying across the streets as she navigated the area for possible injured civilians. The witnesses instantly erupted into screams and gasped upon, in a blink of an eye, the Nomu lunged itself towards Iron woman and landed on the ground with a loud crash.
"Oh shit!" Kaminari yelped, his hands placed on his head, as he and a few of his classmates watched from the television. "Why the fuck is she even there?!"
"Didn't you hear earlier?" Tsuyu raised an eyebrow, "She was seen with them before the attack happened."
"Why is she even with them in the first place?" asked Midoriya, pure worry was visible across his face.
"It's Hawks." Tokoyami answered, "I think she's been acquainted with him for a long time. During my internship with him, he approached her like they were long time friends."
"They're co-workers now." Todoroki distributed, shocking the group.
"Co-workers?!" repeated Uraraka in a state of shock.
"Y/n's under the Hero Public Safety Commission." he clarified, "So is Hawks, so they're co-workers or something of the sort. It's not entirely a surprise that they were together."
"How'd you know about that?" asked Midoriya.
There was a moment of silence and Todoroki glanced at the freckled teen before answering, "I just know."
Midoriya could see that Todoroki was hiding something else. He didn't have a proper contact with Y/n for the last few months and being her friend, he feared that their friendship would fall. So to hear that Todoroki has been in continuous contact with her, Midoriya couldn't help the odd feeling that bubbled inside him.
Y/n groaned on the impact but didn't sustained any serious injury. She could see the creature's glowing eyes infront of her as it toppled her on the ground. Her arc reactor brightly glowed and an engine like sound was heard before it emitted a uni beam that tore a hole on its chest. The creature backed away and Y/n didn't waste anytime and levitated as she watched it regenerate.
"You okay?" asked Hawks, flying towards her.
"I'm fine, just hanging around you know." Y/n jested, "Got an idea on how to kill this unkillable dementor?"
"I have one but we should be quick." he replied, "It's regenerating quickly but if we don't give it some time maybe it'll work."
"I'll take the first move then I'll leave the rest to you two." Y/n said, flying towards the creature.
Hawks asked on the other line, "What're you going to do?"
"Just watch." she replied, "Wait at the top."
Y/n didn't elaborate further and instead called for the creature, "Hey! You're looking for the strongest right?! Well I'm here!" she yelled, "I've faced much more stronger villains than you and I've defeated them all! Come at me!"
The Nomu's hooded head turned towards her and flapped its hideous wings. Y/n took the signal and entered at an empty altitudinous establishment near them.
Y/n awaited for the creature to arrive and queried, "Hey Jarvis, how fast can we buy this thing?"
Hearing this, Hawks quickly flew above the building and looked down beneath to see the creature entering the edifice.
Iron woman used her repulsor rays to block its massive muscle hand from whipping her and quickly lunged her body into its chest and flew up the tower, using the creature as a shield as its body destroyed each floors of every section. The creature struggled to defend itself due to the continuous impact on its back and their fast pace.
From the outside, it was visible that the building gradually dropped by each story akin to a jenga tower as each player removed a block.
After some agonizing moments, the roof of the tower exploded as Y/n emerged with the creature above her. The young genius immediately released her hold and flew behind it before releasing repulsor beams out of her palms to propel the nomu towards Hawks as, he too, used his feathers to spun the creature uncontrollably as it was directed to Endeavor.
Hawks propelled Endeavor with the remaining feathers he had and made a make shift wings and combined with the number one pro hero's flames, it looked like a phoenix was awakening in him.
Y/n barely missed the creature's juttering vertebrae, only giving her helmet an inconspicuous scratch. Regaining her composure, she could see Endeavor struggling in dealing with the ostensively indomitable monster which kept regenerating.
Hawks used his last degree of feathers and Y/n instantly caught him before he could even fall and placed him on the ground.
"HAWKS! L/N!" called the number one pro hero.
"I can't help you much, since they're burnt into crisps." replied the winged hero.
"You're too close! I can't see an opening where I can interfere without causing you any serious damage!" Y/n clicked her tounge in annoyance seeing her screen interface turning red upon failing to see any opening.
"Go higher!" she advised and higher he went.
"I get it." Hawks began, watching the pro hero flying upwards with the young genius standing beside him. "Up there. He doesn't have to hold back."
Endeavor used the full might of his flames to emit a concentrated beam of heat from his body to vaporize the Nomu. The light casted down on the tall buildings and the citizens that were watching the fight with bathed breaths.
Seeing the fire doused and two figures descending, Y/n grabbed Hawks by the collar - slightly choking him - and flew down to go after them.
The two ran but halted when the smoke ceased, showing the number one pro hero barely standing with one hand raised up to the air. The crowd from afar immediately cheered and both Hawks and Y/n ran to assist the injured hero.
"That's Allmight's pose you know?" teased the winged hero, laying him down.
"No different. He uses his left!"
"Who cares about that?! I'm just grateful you won!"
"Here. Let me help with your wounds." Y/n said, bending down to his level.
Hawks retracted the towel and stepped aside. Y/n bent down to Endeavor's level and an unknown liquid was sprayed on his wound, deployed from her gauntlet's fingertips. The number one pro hero hissed in pain, "What is that?"
"Medical suture spray." Y/n replied, focused on his wound to ensure that she didn't missed a part. "It'll help seal and heal the wound faster."
Hawks himself winced seeing his co-pro hero's open flesh being superseded by the liquid to prevent the blood from leaking. "That'll definetly leave a scar." he pointed out.
Y/n snickered and muttered lowly, "Like father, like son."
Hawks, who heard it through his headphones (that was miraculously still working despite its damage), had to place a closed fist over his mouth to prevent his huge grin from being seen while Endeavor remained oblivious, too focused on the stinging pain on his face whenever the liquid peppered his wound.
"I gotta be honest with you fire beard. You were so cool back there." Y/n commented.
Endeavor released a grunt of disagreement, "It was zero points. A real sorry start for me."
"If I may disagree." Hawks chided, "This victory of yours today was absolutely huge!"
Y/n piped in, "I bet your fans and family are beyond words proud of you."
Endeavor furrowed his eyebrows and stole a quick glance at her as she tended to his other wounds, her sentence made him wonder her relationship with his son given that they were former classmates.
The screen interface popped an alert notification that there was another presence with them, Y/n swiftly positioned herself straight and faced her gauntlets wide in preparation to aim her repulsor to the soon to be known target. Her abrupt actions caught the pro heroes off guard and turned to where she was faced.
"That was quick." A voice spoke behind the smoke, "Technology these days."
A figure emerged from the smoke, revealing coal spiked hair that shadowed over pairs of ocean blue eyes which were sending her scorching glares.
"Well, if it isn't the phantom of the opera." Y/n leered.
"Long time no see, Marvin the paranoid android." Dabi retorted, "Paranoid doesn't suit you though. Traumatized would be the perfect replacement for that."
The villain peered behind her to look at the pro heroes. "Well Endeavor, should I say nice to meet you?" he said, "No one told me you'd be here."
"It's you!" Endeavor snarled, "The one who murdered snatch!"
"The League of villains'," the villain positioned his hand right above his chest, "Dabi!"
Blue scorching flames surrounded the trio, alerting the people.
"Sna- who?" Dabi said, "More importantly, let's chat while we have this chance."
The pro heroes from the outside attempted to rescue the heroes trapped on the center, though the flame radiated so much heat that they couldn't even go near it without aching to retreat. However, despite the broiling heat the young genius didn't seemed to be fazed and her suit remained intact and undamaged.
"So this is the work of your emo band huh?" Y/n turned her head behind her, although her mask was still on anyone could tell that she wore a smug smirk on her lips when she said,
"I told you so."
