It was four and a half months away from the UA entrance exams and I was anxious, happy, but mostly scared.
I was currently at the beach watching Midoriya train and Mr Yagi was coaching him to drag a fridge across the sand. When the fridge was moved from the trash pile I saw the skeleton of a bike.
Peering closer it was an old motor bike. I jumped up and pulled it out of the pile. I easily lifted the bike and flipped it upside down and rested it on its handle bars and seat. I spun the wheels to see if they would and both spun well. Running my hands over the motor I made a list of everything I would need to fix it mumbling it under my breath and the costs of it all.
Not that cost mattered, I can afford a new bike if I wanted, but this would give me a project to do until the entrance exam.
Izuku leaned over my shoulder. "What are you gonna do with it?"
"I'm going to rebuild it and drive it. It would be a nice ride to school when we get in. I can probably use some spare scrap metal to make a detachable side car! Then I can give you and Shi-kun rides to school when we all get in! I already have a license for a motor bike and a car."
I smiled while picking the bike up again and setting it on its wheels. "I've worked in a mechanic shop before but that was another time. I'm going to roll it home I'll see you again soon. Bye mr Yagi, bye Izuku!"
"Wait Young Nix we have a truck, there's really no need to roll that bike all the way home when we can drop it off for you." Mr Yagi said before coughing.
"No it's okay mr Yagi I wanna pass by a shop to get some tools and some parts so I can get started on fixing it right away. And I'm really stronger than I look, mr Yagi!" I said while picking up the bike one handed to carry it to the sidewalk as rolling it in the sand would be wasted energy.
When I was a mile from the house I pulled into an auto body shop and bought new parts for the belt and motor. One of the men put a new back tire on it and pumped the other with air.
When I left the shop I had two heavy bags full of parts hanging from the handlebars as I pushed the bike the rest of the way home.
Coming upon the apartment I realized I had encountered a problem. I brought the bike home but where would I even work on it. I sat down leaning against the bike and tried to think of any possible place I could safely work on it.
I sat to think so long that Aizawa came home from grocery shopping and stared me and the bike down.
"What is that?"
"A motor bike."
"And what is it doing here? Where did you even find it and what do you plan to do with it?"
"Well here's the thing I found it at the beach and was planning to fix it up so I could drive myself and a friend or two to school. Ya know maybe build a side car to go with it. But I didn't really think through where I would work on it." I said scratching behind my ear sheepishly. "Do you maybe know somewhere I could work on this in peace?"
"Let me go upstairs to put our groceries away and then I'll show you." Aizawa said sighing as he went.
Four months away.
Progress on the bike has gone well. I showed off the project to Shoto and he demanded to fund the whole thing on his fathers card. So we've bought more parts than I needed. The side car also had been going great and it's very close to done.
Three months away.
The bike is so close. I just need one last part and then I'd be done. The part was on the other side of the city and so I walked.
On the way there it rained heavily and I was drenched. A kind policeman took pity on me and gave me his umbrella. I swore to return it and for a moment he seemed surprised. But then he waved his hands and shooed me off with the umbrella and told me to be safe. I only caught his title and last name. "Detective Tsukauchi"
I smiled and the rest of the journey was much easier.
I bought the part on the credit card shoto gave me and also bought some candy and a thank you card. The way home it stopped raining and I took that as a good sign.
I slipped into the police station with little notice and easily located the detectives office. I put the now dry umbrella, candy and thank you card on the detectives desk. I also set down the toffee coffee I bought him and left.
On my way out I bumped into another officer. This one had the head of an orange tabby cat. He was carrying two cups of coffee and I caught them as they were falling. He thanked me and we went our separate ways. His name tag said Sansa.
Getting back to the bike I added the last part and it was finished. I drove the bike home with no trouble and parked it outside the apartment.
Running up the steps and then back down with Aizawa in tow, I showed off the bike and rambled off on a tangent about how I fixed it and the things I replaced.
"Did you wear a helmet when you drove it here?"
"Well no. I don't think I've even bought one yet...oops?" I said sheepishly while I rubbed my neck.
Aizawa sighed before heading back upstairs. This time when he came down he had a sleek black helmet in his hands. "I got it in black so you could paint it to match your bike or whatever."
I smiled jumping up to hug him. "I'll paint the visor yellow in honor of only the coolest hero dad ever! Nya Erasedhead!" When did I start calling him dad out loud?
Aizawa ducked his head into his scarf when I smiled up at him.
"I'm going to go show it off to the guys!" I bounced around the bike and put the helmet on. "I won't be out to late and I'll be home soon!"
"Be safe and keep out of jail."
"I'll try. But you'd bail me out if I did, right?"
"No"
I pulled up to the beach where I normally find Hitoshi and Midoriya training. The two of them were sparring and I saw Shinso use the move I showed him and he took Izuku down.
"Go Go Shinso! And he has defeated yet another villain is there anything our beloved hero brainwash can't do!" I said cheering him on.
Hitoshi and Midoriya looked at each other before shrugging and then running to tackle me.
I jumped to the left and swiped Izuku legs while pulling Shinso's arm over my head. This turned into an impromptu sparring match. Two against me.
They both tried to take me down but I always evaded and got some hits in. By the end of the match, that had to be called by mr yagi or it would've gone on till they collapsed, both boys were on the sand soaked in sweat while I was fresh as a daisy.
"How come you never sweat after training?" Hitoshi asked between big gulps of air.
"This is nothing to me. I try not to show off in front of others but I've been training my whole life extensively. Most things don't faze me. I'm a little overpowered. But you both are doing really great and coming along. When we get into UA the real training begins for all of us." I said ruffling their hair. Because I'm so short the only times I can do it is when they are sitting or laying down.
"Oh I came down here to show off the bike. I finally finished it. My guardian bought me a helmet that I can paint however I want."
I excitedly showed off the bike to them and told them everything I did to fix it. It still needed a new paint job but I'd do that later. We hung out and talked for some time before practicing moves to do takedowns and I watched them spar again while giving pointers.
After hanging out for an hour I decided I should also show it off to shoto.
"I'm going to go show it off to another friend. He helped fund the project so it's only fair he gets to see it too." I said sitting on the bike.
"You have another friend." Midoriya said.
"You have friends!?" Hitoshi said.
"Harsh.... Ya know I really thought we were besties but that hurts." I said playfully and stuck my tongue out. "See you guys tommorw. And I'll give you both rides to the entrance exams. In three more months we will all be heroes in training! And then we'll make it to the top three in no time!" I chirped before putting my helmet on and giving them a two fingered salute.
Riding off I drove on the back wheel for show. Driving in between cars I made good time to the Todoroki household. I parked the bike near the back and then threw rocks at shotos window.
"Romeo o Romeo...let down a ladder!" I giggled into my hands.
"If I'm Romeo does that make you Juliet?" Shoto said opening the window and letting down the rope ladder.
"Gods no! I'm Mercutio if anything. I'm the loyal best friend who's witty and fun." I said halfway up.
"But doesn't he get killed by Tybalt?" He said leaning against the windowsill.
"Im immortal? Ah but you'd avenge me if I did die right?" I said nose to nose with him before pushing him into the room. "I finished the bike all it needs now is a proper paint job and then it's perfect!" I threw my hands over my head to stretch. "Would you like to stay over at my home for the night. I saw your dad was in a pretty bad fight and I don't want you to stay here."
Shoto had a pensive face before nodding. He packed a set of clothes and some pajamas in a duffel and we left out the window. After he told his siblings of course.
I got on the bike first with shoto getting on after me his arms rested on my shoulders.
"Hold on, this thing goes really fast since we bought that new engine." I reved the handlebar and we tore off. On the way out we passed his father's car and both of us stuck our tongues out.
