Becoming a Hero

Riding in the car

I swallowed a quick breath of air and let out a slow sigh.

"I...don't have one. I am quirkless..." I said quietly looking down at the ground in shame. I glanced up and met his surprised gaze.

"Oh..." All Might huffed out.

"Is this some kind of shitty joke?" The blonde grumbled waltzing up to me with a cocked brow "How could a quirkless loser take down three villains?" I let out an offended grunt and took a step back trying to put some space between us.

"Bakugo, don't be rude." The red and white-haired boy said calmly grabbing Bakugo's shoulder and pulling him back.

"Let go of me Icy-Hot, I'm not bein' rude I just genuinely don't believe someone without a quirk could really defeat anyone..." He replied giving me an up and down. I squirmed, uncomfortably underneath his gaze. All Might gave a small cough and I turned towards him.

"I believe you," He said standing a bit straighter, "Although it is rare, there are certainly still people who do not possess quirks" He shot a glance at Bakugo who met his look with a knowing one and what seemed like an understanding nod before breaking their contact. "None the less what you did back there was quite impressive and I thank you for saving me," He said bowing his head slightly to me.

"Oh no, no," I said waving my arms wincing at the pain in my shoulder and quickly dropping them "it was no big deal really. I have been studying martial arts my whole life and I was happy to be of help. I know that I don't have a quirk and that I could never be a pro hero, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't try and help others if I can..." I finished with an awkward shrug. "You know, you remind me of someone," All Might said bringing his hand to his chin. "Would you maybe like to come back to UA and meet him? We can get that shoulder taken care of quickly too with Recovery Girl!" He asked.

I felt the blush cover my face and my eyes go wide, "You mean I could go into UA for real? That would be incredible. I knew I would never be able to attend but I have always wondered what it looks like on the inside. Plus my shoulder would usually take a couple of weeks to heal so it would be amazing if I didn't have to wait that long!" I said excitedly. "Thank you!" I added grabbing his hand and giving it a squeeze.

"WHAT!?" Bakugo interrupted, "You can't just bring some random extra onto school grounds what if she's lying about being quirkless and is a spy or something?"

"Well," All might responded as he led us to the running taxi and opened the back door, "Then I think you should be her personal escort. You are making excellent points young Bakugo and I can't think of anyone I would trust more to protect our school from a spy than you." He gave a mischievous grin and motioned for us to squeeze into the back together.

I sat in between the two boys. Bakugo huffed out a frustrated sigh and crossed his arms pushing himself up against the door as much as he could to avoid touching me. I turned towards the boy with red and white hair and the scar and reached out my hand.

"So I know the grumpy one is Bakugo but I didn't catch your name, I'm Myla," I started with a smirk and heard Bakugo grumble something about not being grumpy.

"I'm Shoto Todoroki," he said matter of factly, gently taking my hand and giving it a shake. 'Todorkoi....' I thought 'Where have I heard that name before, I know it from somewhere....oh'"Oh wow, you're Endeavor's son huh?" I asked. He seemed to cringe a bit but nodded his head.
