This Is Me

Ch 4: USJ

Akira sat on the bus holding her mic as she looked out the window. They were on their way somewhere to work on the trial of rescue. She did not know how to feel since each day brought the ten year anniversary one day closer. She sighed and leaned her head on the window. She wondered if the one who brought white roses would visit again. She never saw them, but she always wondered if it was the other child her mother saved that brought the roses. Akira knew it was not her father since when the man rarely visited he left red roses. He used to visit a lot but in recent years, the man barely visit at all. From what Akira understood, he had gotten married and started a new family. 

"Are you alright Yamada?" Iida asked from beside her. Akira turned to look at him. 

"Oh yes," Akira smiled lightly. "Just haven't gotten a lot of sleep lately due to things on my mind."

"One should always get proper amounts of sleep," Iida said. Akira nodded. 

"Sometimes it is easier said than done," Akira said. She glanced down at the group in front as she heard her name.

"If we are talking doubly whammy of flashy and and strong, you can't not mention Todoroki, Yamada, and Bakugou." Kirishima said. 

"Bakugou is always fuming, so he won't be very popular," Asui said. 

"You bitch I'll be popular!" Bakugou yelled. Akira leaned forward. 

"You may be wrong Asui," Akira said. "Look at Endeavor, his attitude isn't the best but he is still the number 2 hero." Akira had great respect for the man as he was the one to capture the villain who killed her mother. She had never met him, but still respected him. She hoped one day she could tell the man thank you.  Akira vaguely heard Kaminari giving Bakugou more crap and causing the boy to rage more. Akira shook her head and leaned back as Aizawa told them to settle down. 

They arrived at a place called the Unforseen Simulation Joint and met a pro hero named Number 13. He began a whole speech about the duel nature of quirks being both helpful and dangerous. Akira nodded, knowing her power without it's directional speakers and such could be dangerous to those all around her. Even with those in place, if she were to hit certain notes or frequencies, it could still be dangerous. Akira once overheard Hizashi talking to Aizawa about how he did not understand how Akira's quirk had come out so powerful. Though Talia, Akira's mother, had never fully learned the limits to her own quirk as she had no interest in being a hero. Talia had been a famous dancer and musician. Slowly Akira's attention was brought back to the task at hand. 

"Your quirks emphatically do not exist to harm others," Number 13 said. "Please leave this exercise with a full understanding that your quirks are meant to help people. That is all. You have my gratitude for listening."

"Alright, first things first," Aizawa began but was interrupted.  Down the stairs and far below a black portal opened up and people began to spill out of it. "Huddle together! 13! Protect the students!" Aizawa yelled. Akira became alarmed and tried to push her way to Shouta. 

"Sho!" Akira called as she tried to get to him completely forgetting to called him Aizawa or Sensei in the moment. 

"Don't move!" Aizawa said pulling down his goggles. "Those are villains!" Akira heard the others wondering how they got in there and why the alarms weren't going off. Akira soon made it to Aizawa's side and looked up at him with worry. 

"Sho what are we going to do?" Akira asked. 

"Sensei! Are you planning on fighting them all on your own?" Midoriya asked. "There's to many of them. It is not your fighting style to take on that many at once."

"Shut up, Midoirya!" Akira yelled at him. She did not like this at all. Wasn't there supposed to be three teachers here? Aizawa had said before they left that All Might would also be here.
