Hopping Hearts

1: Black and white

(A/N This is my first story if you see something that needs correction or improvement please tell me)

Miruko was tapping her leg impatiently while hearing a boring lecture about a new project that her agent forced her to attend because she wouldn't stop nagging that she never tries to create some connections with other heroes, she told her that this would be a good chance to create some ties, she didn't care so much because she never asked for help but if this would shut her up so be it. Her agent miss Tanaka is the only person that can stand her cocky and arrogant attitude and is probably the only one that can force her to do something she doesn't want. While she is not afraid of her, she is afraid of paperwork, she absolutely hate how boring it is and how much time it takes to finish it, and when miss Tanaka can't stand her attitude anymore she always threatens her that she will stop working with her.
Normally this shouldn't be a problem but with Miruko's reputation is near impossible for her to find someone that would want to work with an impulsive, uncontrollable and aggressive person like her. While thinking of how annoyed she was with miss's Tanaka's bossy attitude she was snapped out of her thoughts by her three most hated words:
help, sidekick and support.

"Can you say that again"

"Well yes miss Miruko, you see many heroes prefer to work solo and use their individual strength in order to resolve many situations on the spot. In this project we want to see how much you can increase your efficiency as a hero within a month by having an assistant
assigned by the government, that will assist you with information, will give you access to government technology and assist you with planning"

Miruko looked dumbfounded at him, her ears fell down from the shock, immediately she stormed out of the building and started walking towards her agency, because as it appeared this project was about heroes receiving backline support from the government, and not creating ties with other heroes so they can exchange information. Her agent waited her outside the agency and looked at her watch.

"Wow that must be a new score you manage to listen to a lecture for 20 whole minutes"

"SHUT IT YOU OLD HAG"

"Well someone's angry"

"OF COURSE I AM ANGRY WHY WONT Y..''

Miss Tanaka handed her some papers and looked her dead in the eye.

"If you don't stop screaming I'll make sure that you will be signing documents for the rest of the month"

Miruko looked her with rage but she wouldn't say anything. In the end she preferred to sacrifice some of her pride than doing paperwork for the rest of the month.

"Why don't you get it I like working alone I don't need help by some weakling nerd"

"Yeah but a weakling nerd is the reason that you can still continue you life like nothing happened"

Miss Tanaka pointed at her prosthetic arm. Miruko looked at her prosthetic and wiggled her fingers and for a little while sadness filled her eyes while looking at this metallic piece of junk that replaced her once strong caramel colored arm.

"That's different"

"Listen Rumi you can't do everything by yourself, it's not about having some that is strategic genius that can plan everything, it's about having someone that you can trust, someone that will help you get through anything"

"The only person I need to trust is myself in order to overcome anything"

Miss Tanaka looked her with a smile that hid a little disappointment on it.

"You know, you will never get married with that attitude"

"I'm already married to my job"

"Well right now you don't have anything to attend so would you like to go for some coffee"
