The Heart of a Hero [BNHA]

Chapter Twenty One: Training Camp Pt 1.

 "Do you have everything you need?" Craven asked the half asleep cat girl as he picked up her duffel bag.

Nikita mumbled something partially coherent.

"What was that?" Craven chuckled and reached out with his free hand to steady her as she nearly walked into a wall. She did not do well with early mornings.

"Too early!" Nikita whined.

Craven sighed. "Eventually you're going to need to become a morning person when you become a Pro Hero." He chuckled.

"Nope." Nikita shook her head, "most crime happens after dinnertime." She paused as she realized that rhymed before giggling.

Craven laughed and steered her out of her apartment before swiping her keys so he could lock her door. He tucked her keys into her duffel bag and carried it and the sleepy cat girl down to his car. "We got some time before we have to be at the school, you want breakfast?"

"FISH MARKET!" Nikita cheered.

Craven chuckled, "alright. Strange breakfast choice but whatever." He deposited her into the passenger seat of his car before setting her bag in the backseat.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the nearest fish market. There were dozens of vendors with freshly caught fish laying out on pallets of ice for purchase. Nikita perked up at the smell of fresh fish. A particularly delectable aroma wafted toward her and she zoomed away.

"Hey!" Craven groaned as the cat girl vanished. He sighed and got out of the car before running off in the direction she'd disappeared in.

He found her at a salmon stand ogling the freshly caught salmon with stars in her eyes. Craven shook his head as Nikita let out a cute little purr as she explored the pallets of salmon trying to find the perfect one. Once she found it she immediately chomped into the side of it with glee and brought it over to the fisherman to purchase it.

Craven held back a laugh as the fisherman stared at the cat like girl warily as she approached him with fish in mouth like a housecat bringing him a dead mouse as a present. "Uh? I don't think that's very safe to do." The fisherman frowned.

Craven shook his head as Nikita tried to talk with the fish still in her mouth, he sighed and shooed her off back to the car. He paid for the salmon and reassured the concerned fisherman she'd be fine, "honestly she's more cat than human, it's fine." He chuckled as he ran after her.

Nikita tore into the salmon in the middle of the fish market receiving quite a few strange looks.

"Wait till we get to the car at least." Craven laughed.

"Nom, nom, fishie." NIkita purred happily.

"So strange." Craven laughed and steered her back to the car.

"Thanks for fishie." Nikita grinned as she finished stuffing her face and chucked the remaining skeleton into a nearby trash receptacle.

"You're welcome." Craven ruffled her hair affectionately.

"Okie, nap time." Nikita stretched before curling into a ball in the passenger seat once they reached the car.

"Hey, you need to stay awake until we get to the school, then you're Mr. Aizawa's problem." He poked at her.

Nikita grumbled back at him incoherently and closed her eyes as she drifted off for a catnap. She awoke momentarily as she felt Craven shake her. He somehow got her on her feet long enough to get a hug goodbye and send her off to the bus to take her and the rest of her class to training camp. She only made it a few steps before she bumped into something squishy and warm and she fell asleep leaning against whatever it was.
